7. Training (final)

"Mom, start the formation."

Kai prepared himself and sat inside the formation, Riya seeing his determination also started the formation. This time the familiar darkness didn't surround him, instead it was all white.

*AHHHH*

Then Kai suddenly felt pain all over his body; the pain was so great that he almost fainted. The only reason he was conscious is because of his abnormal willpower and desire to reach the peak.

But after a few minutes, Kai fainted from the pain, and after he opened his eyes, he saw himself sleeping on the lap of his mother.

"Mom, what happened to me in the trial?" Kai asked, as he was unclear what happened after he fainted.

"After you lost consciousness in the formation, I immediately cancelled the formation and made you sleep on my lap,"

Hearing his mom's voice, Kai felt very warm in his heart. But he is also very disappointed in himself because he has almost no pain tolerance.

The reason for that is, on Earth, people don't feel such an inhuman level of pain in their daily lives, but here every cultivator needs to experience the same thing. 

'I think I need to build up my pain tolerance, even though it was an illusion because it was better than nothing.' 

The illusion is almost real. Other than getting injured, what Kai felt was a real pain. So he plans to take advantage of this formation to make up for his shortcomings.

Then again, Kai started the trial, and the result was the same as the previous one. But, he did the trial again, and this time he lasted longer than before.

Just like a tortoise, Kai did this trial again and again at a very slow pace, and after almost a month, he was very close to completing this hellish trial.

"Mom, I'm ready. Let's start the trial"

"Okay, baby," Riya looked at worriedly, but sighed and activated the formation.

The trial started, and Kai felt the familiar pain, but it was very easy compared to before, as his body had adapted to the pain.

Time passed as he continued to hold on, and when he thought the trial was going to end, the intensity of the pain increased in some particular parts of his body. This was very sudden and unexpected for him.

*WHAT THE FU***

Kai screamed as he was not prepared for this, and the increase in pain was very high. Thus, he fainted after persisting for a few more minutes.

 When Kai woke up, he was lying on his mother's lap.

"Mom, why did the pain suddenly increase so much?" Kai asked after he woke up from his mother's lap.

 "Baby, what you completed was only phase one of this trial and there are still a lot of phases in the third trial"

 Kai was surprised by her answer, but after he thought about it phase one didn't help him that much. But if he completes all the phases of this trial it will be very helpful for him in the battles and the content of this trial is going to be pain tolerance.

 " Baby, if you want, you can quit this because it will be more painful after this phase" Riya said in a concerned tone.

 Kai looked at his Mom for a few moments because what she said was correct. The pain he felt in the second phase was at an inhuman level and if he continued to do this trial, he would suffer this torture every day.

Kai suddenly thought about the heaven's chosen of his generation that he is going to compete with, if he is just afraid of pain in the trial how about he compete with them?

 "Mom I want to do it completely" Kai said with determination to complete the trial.

Kai always complete a job once he started doing it, it is a very good character that he developed in previous life.

Then Riya started the formation and Kai completed phase one easily. In phase two, he did persist for a few minutes again and failed the trial. 

 Kai did this trial more slowly than the previous trial and it took him a whole three months to adapt to the intensity of pain and eventually, he completed the second phase.

 Before Kai could enjoy a little, the next phase started without any delay and he suddenly felt very hot, it was like someone was cooking him in a frying pan and he even felt his skin start to burn insanely.

 Kai passed out without being able to persist for a minute. This trial was hell, it was like he was judged for the crimes that he had done in his life.

Kai was very afraid to continue this trial because it was only the third phase and it had already started to feel like hell. But he wanted to continue to do this because it could make him stronger.

 A lot of time passed after that and Kai also completed the third phase, but the fourth phase was the complete opposite of the third phase because it was cold and the coldness didn't act on his body but directly acted on his soul, so it is more painful than the previous trail combined.

 It took him a lot of time to complete the trial because he had to rest frequently since he was unable to continue the trial.

 The trial puts a lot of pressure on his mind and soul, so Kai has to rest every time he completes the trial. If he didn't do that, it would be possible for his soul to get injured.

 Kai finally completes the fourth phase after a long time, and there is only one phase remaining, it is also the hardest because he is going to get tortured.

Yes, it was torture, and Kai is very sad about the content of the test. It was his father who designed this phase, and he was very angry with him, but he did not say anything because it was an easy way to increase his pain tolerance and it would also be helpful in battles.

Whenever a battle occurs, it is possible to get injured in the eyes or get your bone crushed, so this phase aims to maintain calmness in such a situation. If Kai started screaming in the middle of the battle, his opponent would take the opportunity to turn the tides of battle, so Kai decided to finish this trial completely.

This trial took him the longest because he couldn't get used to the pain no matter how much he repeated this trial. It's been 2 years since Kai started this challenge and he finally completed this trial after a lot of hard work.

"Kai, you completed the whole trial, and now I am very proud of it," Riya said with a happy smile on her face.

"Thanks, Mom, but I have to thank you for your help in this period for me. Without your help, I would not be able to pass this trial easily like this," Kai expressed his gratitude.

What he said was correct because, without his mom taking care of him when he was sleeping, he would have to stop the trial because of injuries to his soul.

Riya always uses her Qi to heal and soothe Kai's mind and soul during sleep, and because of that, he can sleep without any pain or worries.

Even though the trial was an illusion, the illusion directly acts on his soul. So it always puts a burden on the soul, and his mom helped him deal with this problem.

She didn't even sleep for a single minute in the past 2 years because she had to take care of Kai in the morning if anything went wrong in the formation, and in the evening she helped him heal his injured soul. So she had not slept a single bit since Kai started doing the training.

Riya is a God-Realm cultivator, she can handle the stress, but that is not without problems. If she were a Saint realm cultivator, there would be no problem, but she was only a God realm cultivator, so she had a lot of stress and needed a lot of rest to recover.

His parents had a lot of expectations for him and made a lot of sacrifices for Kai. They didn't neglect his idea considering he was only a child, and who in the right mind would listen to a child's ideas? But Kai's parents listened to his ideas and even cooperated with him. They even developed his idea to suit him better.

His father, Alex, even though Kai doesn't know where he has been for the past two and a half years, knows he is doing something for him. Alex always considered what Kai needed and gave it to him without them even asking. He is the one that Kai admires the most because he also wanted to become like him in his past life.

Now that both his parents did their best and always worked hard for him, Kai will do his best for their sake and also for himself.
