Steel Himself
Stars were illuminating the dark sky, surrounding the bright crescent. The cool moonlight went through the tree leaves, and scattered around, illuminating the quiet and dark forest.
Di Yalan and Hu Long were patrolling around, while Zhao Xin was having a rest, leaning against the tree with stable breaths, eyes closed.
Luo Hao was standing next to one another ancient tree on alert, never relaxing his vigilance.
Among the dense leaves of that tree, Mu Yu Die was sleeping quietly. After a long day’s journey, she was exhausted, for she couldn’t operate her Profound Qi at will.
Luo Hao looked up at Mu Yu Die, who was resting among the leaves, now and then, showing rare tenderness in his eyes.
“Daa! Daa!”
Luo Hao’s thick eyebrows frowned, as he saw Shi Yan approaching nearby. He asked in surprise, “Still awake?”
“Yeah.” Shi Yan nodded and answered in an undertone. He stood still beside Luo Hao, and asked under his breath, “Wouldn’t it be easy for them to spot us here?”
“Of course not.” Luo Hao smiled, “There is no settled route in the forest, and demon beasts and warriors are always showing up now and then; so those from the Dark World will find it hard to distinguish our trace. In this area, those demon beasts and warriors are whom we need to pay more attention to.”
“That is to say, they won’t find us easily.” After pondering a bit, Shi Yan asked again, “Uncle Luo, do you need to consume too much Profound Qi to release your gravitational field?”
“Why do you want to know this?” Luo Hao was puzzled.
“I want to steel myself with the help of your gravitational field. Under the gravitational field, I will have to bear huge pressure, which shall strengthen my body. I want to know my limits.” Shi Yan replied seriously. He didn’t go with the conventional path. Usual training didn’t excite him, so he seeked passion desperately.
“To steel yourself by gravitational field...” Luo hao’s eyes were lit, and he nodded, “Great idea, but are you sure you want to try it? If those emissaries found us when you were exhausted, you couldn’t even fight back.”
“I don’t plan to use my Profound QI.” Shi Yan smiled.
“To steel merely with your body?” Luo Hao was shocked.
“Yes.”
Luo Hao fell in deep thought for a long time, and said, “You have just reached Nascent Level, so it is beneficial to train your body in a proper way, and get used to your body. But you haven’t strengthened your body before; it is crazy that you want to train in gravitational field without operating your Profound Qi. You sure you can endure that?”
“I want to try.” Shi Yan replied calmly.
“Good! Follow me.” Luo Hao nodded, and walked away without making a sound. Shi Yan thus followed him.
After they left in silence, Mu Yu Die, who was sleeping on the leaves, slowly opened her eyes.
Gazing at the two people beside the river afar, Mu Yu Die was taken by surprise and puzzlement. She murmured to herself, “ Just reached Nascent Level and he wants to steel himself under the gravitational field. Is this guy insane?”
Mu Yu Die got more and more confused as she thought more, so much that she couldn’t fall asleep any more. Out of strong curiosity, she slipped down the ancient tree dexterously, and sneaked toward Shi Yan and Luo Hao, in order to see what would happen next.
...
“I will use the gravitational field of five times of normal gravity first. Generally, a Nascent Level warrior’s body can only endure this even after undergoing specialised training. You have to do what you are capable of. Once you feel unbearable, stop the procedure at once.”
Standing still, Luo Hao added, “Since it’s your first training, lap around me first. If you can run ten laps without using your Profound Qi, your body will strengthen. Remember, do within your limits!”
After his speech, a violent wave broke out from Luo Hao’s body, all at once.
In an instant, centring about Luo Hao, the gravity surged by five times! The area around him seemed to have collapsed. And the air had turned so heavy that one could hardly breathe.
An invisible pressure suddenly surrounded him all over!
