Lin Lei was slightly startled.
However, just as he was stunned, Daisy landed on the ground and charged toward Lin Lei.
Daisy and Lin Lei began to fight in mid-air, and then, four fists exploded forth, and a deathly air of gloom enveloped Lin Lei.
Lin Lei was knocked down, and a large crater appeared in the ground from the impact.
Daisy floated down from the sky like an angel, and her clothes scattered into the sky like butterflies with sparks.
"Get up."
Daisy walked over to Lin Lei's side. Seeing that Lin Lei was still lying in the hole, not moving, she grew impatient.
"Daisy, I don't want to get up. This move is too cool. I want to learn it too, or I won't get up."
Lin Lei's muffled voice rang out from within the hole.
"You've already learned this move."
"Huh? Why don't I know about it?"
Lin Lei suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining as he looked at Daisy.
His face was still covered in some dust, making his entire face look a little gray.
He looked like some sort of furry little animal. Daisy looked at Lin Lei, then realized that in a way, Lin Lei was indeed a furry animal.
"The move just now is the Manggus Breathing Technique. The reason you can't conjure up arms is that you haven't reached a higher level."
Daisy shifted her gaze away from Lin Lei. "Thus, if you don't get up now, I won't help you grow."
"Daisy, you have to help me."
Lin Lei's body shot up.
"I'm your teacher. If you want to learn, I'll definitely help you."
Daisy's lips curled up.
"So, in order for you to reach a higher level as soon as possible, you have to change the intensity of your training from today on."
"That's only natural."
Right now, Lin Lei still did not realize the severity of Daisy's change in the intensity of training.
That was, until the afternoon.
"Redbeard, Cheetah, run a hundred laps around the field. Your time limit is one hour. Lin Lei, your time limit is 20 minutes."
"Teacher, why did you give Bull Butcher 20 minutes?"
Redbeard looked at Lin Lei. He thought to himself that since they were fellow students, he had to say something. Otherwise, he would be too disloyal.
After all, he was from a pirate family. If he did not have any sense of loyalty, he would be laughed at.
"If you can't complete the task within the time limit, then you'll have to practice boxing with me during lunch break tomorrow."
Daisy turned to look at Redbeard. "Redbeard, if you're not satisfied with my decision, then you can have the same time limit as Lin Lei. Run a hundred laps in 20 minutes."
"Teacher, of course, I don't have any objections. I'll go and run now. My time limit for 100 laps is one hour."
Redbeard ran to the corner. Ah, even people from pirate families had to know how to judge the situation.
"Daisy..."
"Don't act coquettishly with me. It's useless."
"Alright." Lin Lei lowered his head, and together with Cheetah, he ran toward a corner.
He was the one who had said that he wanted to hurry up and train the Manggus Breathing Technique to a higher level, and he was also the one who had agreed to change the intensity of the training. As a man, he could not go back on his word.
"30 minutes."
Daisy casually waved her hand behind her, and the slave stepped forward to move the clock away.
"Wait for me here after lunch tomorrow and a ten-minute break."
"Alright," Lin Lei said. He did not notice that Cheetah's eyes were shining.
The last time he saw Redbeard fighting Bull Butcher, Bull Butcher's speed was average. Now, Bull Butcher's speed had obviously increased by a lot. However, he was not sure what would happen if Bull Butcher's speed matched his.
"Alright, let's move on to the next segment."
Just as Cheetah was about to speak, Daisy's words caused Cheetah to dispel any thoughts of challenging Lin Lei to a duel.
He really could not afford to offend Daisy.
That night, after a long day of exhaustion, Lin Lei collapsed onto his bed. Just as he was about to enter a beautiful dream, a small stone struck the back of his head.
"Daisy?" Just as Lin Lei was about to rise to his feet and curse, he saw Daisy sitting in front of him, glaring at him.
"I'll continue to guide you on the Manggus Breathing Technique tonight."
Just like that, Lin Lei underwent Daisy's devilish physical training during the day, and at night, he continued to train in the Manggus Breathing Technique. Each day, Lin Lei grew stronger.
"Bull Butcher, victory!"
The host's excited voice rang out in the arena.
"Bull Butcher's strength seems to be getting stronger and stronger every time. This is a gladiator who has won 80 battles in a row, and Bull Butcher didn't seem to have used much strength to defeat him. To all the old men who have bet on Bull Butcher, we're going to make a big profit this time!"
However, there were also some undercurrents surging in the city at this time.
"Miss Tasha, I've converted and now worship the Ancestral God in good faith. Please accept me."
In a room, Tasha looked at the slave who knelt down in front of her and quickly went forward to help him.
"Since you sincerely converted, how could the Ancestral God refuse? I believe that if the high priest knows that we have another loyal believer among us, he'd be very happy."
"May I know who the high priest is?"
"Bull Butcher."
In a luxurious house, the slaves knelt in a row. Their bodies trembled in fear, and some of the more timid ones even began to sob.
"I've already said that if I don't find the person who stole my vase today, none of you will have an easy time."
A chubby, big-eared, and well-dressed noble young master was holding a leather whip in his hand. His face was filled with ferocity.
"But Young Master, we really didn't enter your room today."
"You still dare to talk back?"
The noble young master whipped every slave with force.
In the yard, the slaves' pleas for mercy were endless.
"Young Master, we've found the whereabouts of the vase."
The noble young master only stopped whipping when he heard the butler's voice.
"Where's the vase?"
"Madam said that she liked the vase, so she took it away."
"Since my mom likes it, she can take it."
The noble young master turned around and looked at the slaves. He frowned in disgust. "The smell of blood is disgusting. Get lost!"
The slaves scattered in all directions.
"This young master is really domineering." In the slave house, one of the slaves finally could not help but cry.
"That's right. How are we going to continue living like this? Who can save us?"
"I heard that the Ancestral God is a merciful god. If we become his believers, I believe he'll protect us."
"Is this true?"
"Do you know Tasha, the supervisor of all the distilleries in the city? I've heard that she was a slave in the past. Furthermore, she's a believer of the Ancestral God. The fact that she was able to become a free person might be related to the Ancestral God."
The eyes of the slaves in the slave house lit up when they heard this.
Tonight, the slave house was lit up all night. If people passing by listened carefully, they would hear words like 'the Ancestral God has blessed us.'
At this moment, Lin Lei's progress was not as smooth as it had been.
