Chapter 43: Special Training

  "Junior Sister, you mentioned earlier that you're only sixteen years old this year?"

  Nan Yanran looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a dazed expression.

  "Yes." Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently in response.

  "A sixteen-year-old Six-Star Dou Practitioner..."

  Nan Yanran muttered to herself, her expression quite plex.

  Clearly, Nan Yanra a blow.

  inally, she believed that with her talent, she could be sidered the number one genius in the Yu. This made her somewhat pt and proud.

  Now, Xiao Yi Xian's appearance left her feeling somewhat defeated.

  Chey patreon for 20 advanced chapters.

  However, Nan Yanran had always been someone who didn't like to lose.

  Soon, she emerged from her disappoi and regained her determination.

  "Junior Sister Xian, I will definitely surpass you," she silently enced herself.

  She had already decided to practice even harder iure.

  Only then could she live up to her title as the You Leader of Yu.

  Nan Yanran then looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a seemingly casual smile and said, "Junior Sister, I didn't expect you to hide your true abilities so well!"

  "Sister, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xia even more ashamed and spoke with an apologetie.

  "It's fine. e on, Junior Sister, let's tinue our sparring."

  Nan Yanran smiled slightly and teased, "But this time, you 't go all out. I 't hahe full strength of a Six-Star Dou Practitioner."

  "Alright, I'll be careful."

  Xiao Yi Xian thought that she had used four yers of her strength earlier, so this time she would use only two yers.

  Shouldn't hurt Senior Sister Nan like this.

  , the two of them started to spar in a "friendly" manner.

  Smack!

  Smack!

  Smack!

  ...

  "Teacher!"

  In another courtyard, Gu He was sipping tea in a pavilion when Liu Ling suddenly ran over.

  "What's the matter?"

  Gu He raised his teacup and took a sip before speaking calmly.

  "..."

  Liu Ling's mouth twitched slightly, then he said with an expression of speechlessness, "Teacher, didn't you ask me to e here every day for special training?"

  Speaking of special training, Liu Ling was somewhat excited.

  Could it be that Teacher wants to give me some personalized training?

  Sure enough, Teacher knows what's best for me.

  Upon hearing this, Gu He was momentarily stuhen he preteo be nont and said, "Yes, there is indeed something like that. You remember quite clearly."

  "Well, Teacher, what kind of special training are you pnning for me?" Liu Ling asked with anticipation.

  The st time Gu He mentioned special training, he said it would make the ime he transmitted knowledge to her less painful.

  This made Liu Lied because if the Dou Qi Infusion wasn't painful, he might be able to e for a loime and gain more strength.

  "This special training is primarily to temper your physical body," Gu He said calmly.

  Then, Gu He reached into his ste ring, and a rge bathtub appeared directly in the courtyard.

  "Teacher, what's this for?"

  Looking at the rge bathtub that appeared out of nowhere, Liu Ling was someuzzled.

  "Go, fete water and fill the bathtub."

  Gu He didn't expin further; he simply ordered Liu Ling.

  "Oh." Liu Ling, although someuzzled, obediently plied.

  Soon, the rge bathtub in the middle of the courtyard was filled with water.

  "Teacher, it's filled."

  Liu Ling approached Gu He aed.

  Upon hearing this, Gu He looked up and then poi the water-filled bathtub, saying, "Jump in."

  "What?"

  Liu Ling's expression froze, but under Gu He's unwavering gaze, she had no choice but to jump into the bathtub.

  "Teacher, what are we doing here?"

  Submerged ihtub, Liu Ling asked curiously.

  "You'll know soon enough," Gu He replied with a faint smile, then took out a jade bottle from his ste ring.

  "Remember, your task today is to soak in this bathtub for half an hour. If you 't do it, there's no need for you to e here iure."

  Holding the jade bottle, Gu He said with a serious expression.

  Upon hearing the first part of Gu He's statement, Liu Ling had a vague sense of foreboding. However, when hhe heard the tter part, she couldn't help but tremble and looked at Gu He in disbelief.

  Teacher, are you serious!

  The meaning behind Gu He's words was quite evident.

  If one ot endure for half an hour on their own, it's highly likely they will be expelled from the sect.

  Thinking of this, Liu Ling's heart tightened, and his eyes gradually became resolute. "Master Gu He, please rest assured, your disciple will definitely persevere."

  "Is that so? But please do not force yourself."

  Gu He said faintly, then opened a bottle cap and poured out a red liquid into the bathtub.

  "Master Gu He, what is this?"

  Liu Ling looked at the red liquid poured out by Gu He, feeling puzzled.

  "Blood Ignition Elixir!"

  Gu He said lightly.

  At the moment Gu He finished speaking, a sudden ge occurred withihtub.

  The red liquid ehe water, and rapid bubbles began to emerge, as if the ehtub's water was boiling.

  Soon, the water iire bathtub turned pletely red.

  Just as Liu Ling was about to speak, his face suddenly ged, and he felt an intense, scorg sensation rushing from the water.

  In an instant, Liu Li like he was immersed in a furnace.

  "Remember, half an hour."

  Gu He said faintly and theuro the pavilion.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's heart shook, and then his face gradually became determined.

  He could feel a powerful, intense heat peing his body through every pore, burning his limbs and body with excruciating pain.

  At this moment, he finally uood the meaning behind Gu He's words.

  Such agony would require aremely strong willpower to endure for half an hour.

  However, even in such excruciating pain, I must persevere!

  Liu Ling thought silently in his heart.

  Although the teacher's words were likely meant i,

  But Liu Ling khat if he truly couldn't endure for half an hour, it would definitely disappoint his teacher.

  This was something Liu Ling absolutely did not want to see.

  "It's just half an hour, right? I refuse to believe it." Liu Ling slowly closed his eyes and allowed his entire body to be immersed in the refining liquid.

  Soon, the intense heat ihtub grew even stronger, causing Liu Ling to be in eveer pain than before.

  At this moment, his facial expression had already twisted.

  "I will endure... I must endure!"

  Even though he was in agony, Liu Ling's mind remained calm.

  He could feel that his physical body was gradually ging after undergoing the refi of this Blood Ignition Elixir.

  Liu Ling struggled to operate the Violet Sun Teique, using this opportunity to refine his physical body and Qi.

  In the pavilion, Gu He watched this se with a hint of satisfa in his eyes.

  This kid didn't disappoint him after all.
