Chapter 9 - Doing The Same Thing Over Again

Kim knew she can't access the underground training room without her dad or Sifeng but she still decided to try. The Training room has been specially made for the last son of the Nara Clan leader. The clan leader have done this after he was informed that Sifeng always got denied of the access to the family training room, his two brothers will beat him and send him out, they even changed the lock formation that nor him or Kim knew of, so if Kim herself want to use the training room, she'll have to go meet her brothers or go to the town hall and rent a training room or use one from the public.

She had told their father about this and he had decided to make another training room that only him and Sifeng will have access to, Kim sometimes train with Sifeng when helping him with his cultivation so they use the room together.

But without Sifeng or Master Che presence, the training room door will not open and the glowing lanterns on the hallway won't come up, even if someone come with a light source, the different pattern etched on the wall will absorb it and vanquish it completely, Kim herself have tried this a few times with Sifeng.

This is because her father have insert different formation and spells that will only be active in the presence of Sifeng or Master Che himself, although the spells and formation can still be altered but it will take a great mind to do that.

And that's what Kim is currently trying to do, she wanted to alter the formation so she could get access to the room and give Sifeng some food, but she failed, even after trying for several days. And the worst thing is that her father didn't even show up as he said he would in three days time.

She wondered the situation Sifeng will be without food for three days, she knew the boy is stubborn and won't come out anytime soon, he had done this a few time when he's frustrated and don't wish to talk to anybody.

Meanwhile, the said boy stood in one place with his back slightly bent like someone who's riding a bicycle, about four iron bracelets could be seen on his wrists, both left and right, he also had iron sandals on his leg, with two sand bag tied on both his knee cap, bucket of sweat could be seen rolling down his face and his leg is also shaking.

He had been trying to achieve this since he started his training some minutes ago but he failed countless times and now he finally did it. All he wanted to do is to keep as much weight as possible on his hand and leg to see his limit and the time he could keep this weight for.

After so many trials and failures, he realized that the maximum number of weight his arm could take is four iron bracelets on each arm, two iron sandals for both feet and one sand bag each for both knee cap. Now he's planning to move while all these things are on his body but just as he took his first step, he collapsed.

His leg felt numb, he had been doing the same thing all over again for more than 4 hours, he would have all the weight on his body for twenty minutes and whenever he tries to move with it, he will collapsed, would rest and continue after replenishing his stamina, he moves to the cart and eat some food at times, using it get his stamina back and also to keep himself going.

When the night comes, he would continue with the technique cultivation that Kim taught him and resume back to his workout training the next day. During his second day, he started lasting longer than the first day and be could now move with all the weights on him, he can cover a distance of 5 metres three times with all the weight on him.

Although, there's no any visible change on his body, his appearance is still maintained but he could feel some changes within himself, his organs were building up and his vein was building up under his skin.

He changes his training in the third day as he shifted from strength and stamina building to agility and stamina building, his uses the reflex bag and speed bag with the little knowledge of boxing he had in his previous world, he threw punches for hours till he couldn't feel his hand again, it was as if his arm had disappear but it was actually there, it felt numb due to the restless punches he threw.

He also work on his speed.

And during the night of that third day, he was finally succeed in grasping the flickering energy of his life force, the grasp only lasted for a dozen seconds though, but still he continue with the process trying to elongate the time but he failed, the only thing he achieved that night with the grasping is making the connection fast.

The same thing happened on the fourth day, still working on his agility and stamina with speed, and when the night came, he continue with his cultivation and he finally made another progress as he was able to make the connection last for a more dozen seconds, making it a total of couple dozen seconds.

As he was making connection with this, he realized that his sensitivity is increasing with the little progress he made.

He felt like he would make a breakthrough if the connection could last for at least 5 minutes, but he knew it would still take him an incredible amount of time.

On the fifth of his arduous training alone in the peaceful room, he finally could not take it again, his body could no longer endure the torture he's been putting himself through and as soon as he decided to shift from cultivation to training in the morning, his body collapsed, all his body felt numb and it was as if his whole body had disappear, only his soul remained, but his body is actually there, it just felt numb after the arduous training without a sleep for four days.

Although, he couldn't keep the track of time in anyway as the sun couldn't shed its light in the underground training room, so he don't know when the day comes or night, but he just follow his instinct to believe when it's morning or night and shift from training to cultivation.

He stare at the wooden ceiling of the room and smile, his lips gumming together.

"It's a surprised this weak body can last four days with arduous training and lack of sleep, I should probably rest for today and continue tomorrow."

Just as his consciousness was about to slip into the embrace of a deep slumber, he heard the door opened and upon moving his eyeballs around, two people came into play. He couldn't see the two well as he was still lying on the floor but he knew who they are, the younger one dropped the basket in her hand and rushed over to him.

"Dad he's still conscious, come heal him quickly."

Kim shouted as she placed two fingers on his neck trying to feel his pulse, Sifeng smile upon seeing this.

"You worry too much for me Kim, it seems you even brought a food basket which I have a whole cart of it over there."

He said trying to point his hand to the cart but his hand couldn't move.

"Just shut up idiot, your mouth stinks."

Kim shouted at him as their father moves closer.

Master Che study his son body looking at his situation, his hollow eyes with dark circles under it, his pale skin like that of a vampire, his disheveled hair and lastly, his stinky body, he seems to be suffering from personal hygiene and exhaustion.

"Let's take him out of here, he's fine, he only need to rest."

Master Che said.
