——(POV Li Huang, thinking of good thoughts)——

"Come on Huang, show me how much you have improved!" Grandpa Long said as he added more pressure on me and Cai ZhenKang.

I got up one more time as grandpa slammed us to the ground when he upped the pressure in a spike. Cai ZhenKang who was on my side didn't fare any better as he was now really weaker than me and couldn't cope with this much pressure if I couldn't.

This all happened because grandpa Long was happy that I had found such a good fortune in the trial and now I was multiple stages stronger than before. He then went on a lecture about how bad this could be for my foundation as I have broken through too fast and didn't stabilize my foundation, so he said the first thing that we should do is to make sure that we are in an optimal form for the stage that we are.

The training that we are now going through is all about balance as we have to constantly experience pressure from grandpa Long and this way we will go toward the most optimal condition of our Qi circulation.

The training works because people tend to find the errors easier if they have to do something periodically like how one would be able to find a shortcut when you travel to a place multiple times.

This would exactly work in the same way as you would sense where you are wasting energy as you are constantly under pressure and your body has to work better for you to have a chance at success.

If the pressure was bearable for our cultivation realm we could go on without a need to improve, but as the pressure would be able to crush us if we are careless for only a moment, we instinctively knew that we have to do our best and this pushes our body to fix the problems.

This is also how you can gain from fights and spars but as we have grandpa Long who is way stronger than us, a percentage of his pressure can let us gain experience more than multiple fights, and the only aspect that we lose is the battle experience that we could have gained in that situations but grandpa told us that we can't continue with this shaky foundation and expect that we are going to be successful in fixing it down the line.

Well, this mostly affected me but grandpa told Cai ZhenKang to train in this way too as he would need this level of training to hone his skills.

Cai ZhenKang who was still shaken that his master and my master decided to train us together for the next half a year, didn't even question it and started the training. Although he was gloomy at first he got more cheerful as the training continued because his competitive side got out.

"Huang, I will stay standing one more second than you this time!" Cai ZhenKang said as even he knew we can't compete for higher numbers as this pressure was really hard to handle.

Grandpa Long told us that as we get accustomed to the pressure he would send a more powerful pressure for a second toward us so that our bodies won't get stiff after that stage of training.

I didn't know about the stiff part as my body was hurting all over after only 20 minutes of this training, but I didn't say anything as this time not only did I need to train for the spar with grand elder Su Zhi, but I needed these training so that I can start training in the [Soul splitting scripture] art as it would need a solid foundation, for anyone who is going to try and start this art.

There are herbs and materials that I need to buy for the main training but the basics are that I need to make my body more powerful as this technique is not something that should be tried with meager control or power.

As I can't suddenly make myself a few realms stronger I have to put more energy into improving the control of my power, and training like this can help in that regard.

"ZhenKang, you have been saying this a couple of times now, are you sure you can do it?" I smirked at him. To be fair, it was unfair that he had to go through the same training with me as I had more power when compared to him but wasn't he the one who challenged me when I didn't even have the basic Qi training? Yeah, now that I think about it the world isn't fair so I think it is a good training for him…

"*tsk* We will see." Cai ZhenKang said.

We both got up, as the spikes would make our knees give out under the pressure each time and this time was no different.

Grandpa Long looked at us approvingly and put his pressure on us again. Focusing on it I could easily detect that it was a notch stronger than the pressure that he put on us the previous time.

I looked at him and I saw that he was smirking as he sat down to take a sip of his tea. Seeing this I understood that grandpa Long intended to use this training as much as he can as I practically allowed him to make this training as hard as he can. Even that aside I knew all too well that even with this high-intensity training I can't hope to hold a candle to grand elder Su Zhi so I can't slack off.

"ZhenKang, I think we are both going to pass out in this training." I said as Cai ZhenKang looked at me and we both laughed.

At that time Me and Cai ZhenKang thought it to be a joke…

——(POV third person)——

Two hours passed and by this time Li Huang and Cai ZhenKang both lost consciousness after Li Long constantly bombarded them with his Qi pressure and didn't give them any rest.

Now that they were both unable to continue Li Long decided to let them rest a little in a medicinal bath. Of course, he used the most beneficial medicinal bath for both of them as he would not be stingy when Hao Changyin could do the same in the near future.

He carried Li Huang like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder and carried Cai ZhenKang with his Qi as he thought that he has to show favoritism to his own grandson. Well, the fact that getting carried like a sack of potato is a show of favoritism is debatable.

"…haha… just two more trees…" Cai ZhenKang mumbled in his sleep.

Li Long who could clearly hear him decided it is better that he don't put many thoughts on it and put Li Huang and Cai ZhenKang in the separate bathes that he readied for them.

He separated them because each of them had a different rate of absorbing the medicinal mix and this could make it hard for the other one to get any benefits from the bath.

Li Huang is thought to have the same physique as the Li Bao, the legendary figure of the Li family, and this is something that Li Long wants to keep a secret for now until they can find out enough about it in the near future.

The moment he put them in the baths, they both gained their consciousness and groaned in pain. Li Huang who was used to this kind of situation didn't show any discomfort other than the pain that he was feeling all over his body, but Cai ZhenKang wasn't the same.

"You dare!" he shouted and tried to get out of the basin that he was in as he thought this was a kidnapping and they tried to cook him as he felt hot all over his body.

Li Long had never seen a junior this brazen so he punched him in the head, so that he can't get out of the basin and talked to him sternly.

"Sit right there or I will force you to drink all of that herbal mix in one go." Li Long said as he knew that a disciple of Hao Changyin can be unruly.

Cai ZhenKang who now understood what happened, sat there obediently and didn't move anymore.

"I apologize patriarch Li, I thought I was dreaming." Cai ZhenKang said as he was sweating buckets. He might act tough but he wouldn't dare do so in front of someone who his master calls his rival.

"It is alright. For now, focus on absorbing the herbal mix into your body." Li Long said with a smile.
