The next morning the three of them were still in the cave, Shallot brought a small beast that then cut into pieces and roster, Neither Chen Kai nor Nameless complained that they just ate it
After that Shallot stands at the entrance of the cave stretching his arms to then stretch his legs and neck
Both Chen Kai and Nameless saw him with doubt so the first one to talk was Nameless saying " Now what? what is the next phase? this time try to not hide anything "
Chen Kai sees Nameless from the corner of his eye and makes a serious face while he thinks ' Damn... if it's something thing like the previous one I'm not sure if I will be able to survive this time, after all... ' Chen Kai grabs his right shoulder gritting his teeth with frustration ' I don't have my arm anymore, I'm in the worst condition I have ever been, maybe it wasn't a good idea to stay '
Shallot smiles seeing their serious faces and shakes his head slightly " Nothing out of the ordinary, what's more, we can start the next phase right here, right now "
Nameless and Chen Kai opened their eyes wide in surprise then Nameless said keeping his surprised expression " Wha-what do you mean? it's easier than before? no-no way "
Shallot just smiles and stretches his powerful arms once more, then he says " Let me tell you the same words I received when I started my training, just like you are going to "
Shallot puts down his arms and grins " Life is too short, especially for us the cripple ones, as they say, we could live over a hundred years at maximum, but cultivators, will live over 600 and 700 years old depending on their gender, female cultivators are usually are the ones who had a longer life span"
Chen Kai makes a serious face and says " I heard about that but I heard too that once you overcome a certain cultivation level you will become completely Immortal, it's that true? "
" Ha " Shallot sighs and says with a calm face " You know, the word Immortal is overrated, most of the people who live in the Mortal Realm think that once they reach the Immortal Realm, they will live forever, but they are wrong they can still be killed, it doesn't matter if they could live forever they are still mortals so in the sect, we just called them Eternals "
" Then, what you mean is that they can live forever if they are not killed, right? " Nameless asked with a face of doubt but Chen Kai asked with a serious face " Have you ever fought an Immortal? " That makes Nameless curious too
Shallot nods with a smile " Yes, after all, I came from the Immortal Realm " making both of them more surprised, and with a shaking voice Nameless asks " And you-you have e-ever killed one? "
Shallot makes a thoughtful expression and says " Maybe a few hundred maybe more, to tell you the truth I never counted them "
Both were shocked once again, unable to geez how much power the young-looking man in front of them but one thing was sure and it was... " Why are you telling us this? it's really necessary? " Asked Chen Kai with a face of doubt
Shallot makes a serious expression as he says " The whole purpose of this, is to make you know that it doesn't matter how powerful you think you are or how much confidence have you in your strength, in the end, if you are weaker than your opponent, you will die, it doesn't matter if you are 'immortal', in the end, the weak will live as much as the strong wants, so, be strong, don't you ever underestimate your opponents, let that to cultivators because that kind of errors could drive you to your demise "
Chen Kai and Nameless made serious expressions then Shallot raised his shoulders with a mocking grin as he said " Well at least I can be confident that no cultivator in this Realm can beat me even if they try to use dirt tricks its impossible, now you manage to survive in this place and you two increased your body strengths significantly, so I think it is time " Shallot smiled a little but that smile make the duo tremble in fear, they know that he is to no good then *CRACK* *CRACK* Shallot cracks his knuckles as he walks towards Chen Kai making Chen Kai take a few steps back and says " Let's begin! " and *SWOOSH* he sends a blurry punch towards Chen Kai face
*BANG* " !!! " Chen Kai bounces on the ground and his sight becomes blurred ' Agh... wh-what was that? I never felt a punch that strong but he must have hit me very lightly ' Chen Kai starts to lose consciousness but before that, he saw Nameless backing down when Shallot walked toward him with a sadistic smile
" Hey!! what the hell!! " Yelled Nameless with a frowning expression and his guard up then *SWOOSH* *BANG* Shallot hit Nameless the same way he did with him passing between Nameless's guard
Nameless falls to the ground and stops moving, then Chen Kai closes his eyes and the last thing he hears is Shallot saying with annoyance " This will take longer than I expected "
Chen Kai and Nameless didn't have to wait for too long to wake up because Shallot woke them up when he kicked them and then knocked them out once again. That continued for hours, Shallot woke them out to knock them out again, and he just needed one hit to do so, no matter where he hit them, the pain they felt was strong enough to make them pass in an instant
This kind of 'training' lasted for at least a couple of weeks more, get beaten, eat, get beaten, sleep, get beaten, get healed, that was the routine that Shallot put them
After all that, their bodies were getting used to Shallot's strength, which seemed to hit them lightly, well, for the kind of strength he has, they now wouldn't pass out with just a hit, they were able to withstand at least four to five hits from him before passing out from the pain, Shallot seems to be enjoying every second of the 'training' but for Chen Kai and Nameless, he is just a sadist.
After Shallot finished the last day of the training he said " Nice, you have strong wills, that, and your adaptability to pain is above average "
Nameless and Chen Kai are on the ground seeing Shallot with resentment and hate but neither of them says anything, Shallot grins coldly and says " Part one it's over now let's leave this place to start the final part of the second phase " Both keep seeing Shallot with anger as both thought the same thing ' Godammit, now what? '
