Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1006 - 1004: Still Too Weak

"I’m well aware of everything you’ve mentioned; there’s no need to fuss over it. Right now, Lanlan has already divided the children into two groups, with the best of them in her hands. They have already resumed training, while the less skilled kids have been handed over to Lin Feng. As long as nothing happens to the good children, the clan competition will be unaffected."

Hearing what the Elders said, Xia Yuntian then spoke up about the matter concerning the youth group. He had only just learned about the events that occurred on that side; since they had been divided into two groups, things would be handled this way. As long as the skilled children were with Xia Lalan, there was no need for concern about the youth group’s competition. As for Lin Feng, he harbored some anticipation in his heart; he wondered what Lin Feng could make of those kids. Anyway, it was just a few children; as long as they didn’t die, it would serve as a test for Lin Feng.

When the Elders heard the Family Head speak this way, they had little more to say. As Xia Yuntian had mentioned, as long as the stronger children were fine, then it was no matter what Lin Feng did with the others, just as long as no one died.

"Elders, I’ve called you here to discuss the affairs of the youth and adult competitions. According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, the Xia Family’s situation this time is not looking good. The youths and adults of the other three major Hidden World families have grown much stronger than in previous years, and our Xia Family is in a precarious spot!"

Having dealt with the matter concerning Lin Feng, Xia Yuntian then began to discuss the youth and adult competitions with the Elders. The situation was indeed grave. He had already received intelligence from the other three Prominent Families. If they do not devise a way to quickly improve the strength of the youth and adult groups, the Xia Family risks taking a major fall on the grand stage!

"Family Head, why don’t we have the clan’s alchemists concoct some strength-enhancing elixirs?"

"Family Head, could we perhaps seek guidance from our Ancestors? With their guidance, we should be able to..."

...

Upon hearing the severity from the Family Head, the Elders’ expressions immediately changed. The Family Head had summoned them, which showed how dire the situation was. The problem was that they had all improved step-by-step through cultivation and didn’t have any good solutions for swiftly increasing the strength of the youth and adult groups.

...

"Thud!"

Another sound of someone falling echoed from the training ground. Xia Jianping had finally run out of True Qi and fell to the ground, fainting just like the kids before him, yet feeling some satisfaction. After all, he was the last one standing...

"They’re still too weak!" Lin Feng watched as the children all fainted, shaking his head. These children had some foundation, but their previous training methods were completely wrong. They had spent most of their time cultivating True Qi and had neglected to strengthen their bodies. Otherwise, their physical condition wouldn’t be as poor as it was!

It seems a more rigorous program is needed!

Lin Feng walked over to the children and, in his mind, had already started planning how to enhance their physical strength. Without this, his following training could not proceed. Thinking this, he immediately began waking up the children! After being roused by Lin Feng, the kids tried to stand in spite of their weariness, waiting for his next instructions. They all wanted to know how Lin Feng intended to continue their training.

"Take the Rejuvenating Pills you received today and then sit down immediately to meditate. Recover as quickly as possible. We’ll pause here for today, but remember this: tomorrow’s training will be much more difficult than today’s. You must condition your bodies properly."

After speaking to the children, Lin Feng turned and picked up the Pill Furnace on the ground and left. These children had chosen to follow him, so he was responsible for them. He needed to find a good method to lead them.

Once Lin Feng left, the children immediately followed his instructions, took the elixirs, and began to meditate and circulate their True Qi to restore their bodies. In doing so, they immediately noticed the difference! In the past, there was always a sense of obstruction when circulating True Qi within their bodies. But now there was no such feeling of interruption, and the True Qi restored much faster. They thought to themselves... what’s going on? This is magical! Although strange, the children were more excited than ever, as their cultivation speed was now far quicker than before, and they became absorbed in their practice, losing track of time...

In the blink of an eye, it was already dinner time. Xia Lalan noticed that Xia Jianping and the other children had not returned, so she personally went to the training ground to find them. She immediately saw the kids immersed in intense cultivation, which shocked her profoundly. She knew that the children from the youth group had never achieved this level of focus before because they lacked the mental strength. But Xia Jianping and the others had somehow managed it, leaving her unsure of what to say.

But now that Lin Feng was no longer here, she had no way to question the children and could only go over to them, one by one waking them up, urging them to go eat. These children were growing, they couldn’t just cultivate and skip meals.

Xia Jianping and a few other children were woken up by Xia Lalan and realized how quickly time had passed. They got up from the ground and followed Xia Lalan to eat. There had been changes in them; their eyes shone brighter than before, and they felt even more energized. This feeling filled their hearts with joy, and they were now looking forward to how Lin Feng would train them the next day...

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, Xia Jianping and the other children were taken by Lin Feng to the training ground. Seeing that the children were in good spirits, Lin Feng nodded in approval; with their spirits restored, they could proceed with the training.

"Today’s first training exercise is pole standing, but don’t think it’s the same pole standing you’ve done before. The pole standing I’m talking about involves holding the stone locks you carried yesterday. Follow the same rule: unless I say stop, keep standing!"

Lin Feng instructed the children and, at this point, didn’t need to say much more. He knew the children could do well. After speaking, he turned and walked to the edge of the training field to watch the children train.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s instructions, Xia Jianping and the others immediately did as told, each lifting a stone lock and starting the standing pole exercise as Lin Feng had ordered. However, it was different from carrying the stone locks while running the previous night. It didn’t take long before they began to fall, collapsing one after another onto the ground. It wasn’t for a lack of effort; they were just children, and it was difficult to hold a hundred catties stone lock and circulate True Qi for any considerable length of time!

Yet it couldn’t be denied that the children had remarkable perseverance. After falling, none of them complained. They picked up the stone locks and continued the standing pole exercise... Falling down and immediately getting up to continue, over and over again.

Time flew by, and gradually, the children went from being able to hold the locks for a duration to almost falling the moment they lifted them. Their legs even began to twitch uncontrollably. It was hard enough to stand erect, let alone keep up the exercise, yet none of the children uttered a word of complaint.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded again. With such perseverance, it was easier to work with them. Knowing they had had enough, he finally let them rest. Instantly, Xia Jianping and the others all lay down on the ground, their leg muscles trembling wildly. They felt as though their legs no longer belonged to them and their muscles were beyond the control of their brains...

Lin Feng walked over at this point. Without a word, he stepped a few times on each child’s legs, then said, "Get up, let’s go back to eat!"

After saying this, Lin Feng left. At first, the children felt pain when Lin Feng stepped on them, not understanding why he did it, but they endured. However, after Lin Feng left, they suddenly felt different. Their legs stopped twitching and even the soreness vanished after Lin Feng’s steps!

"It’s magical!"

"Just a few stomps and it’s all better..."

Xia Jianping and the others stood up, dumbfounded. They were acutely aware of the agonizing pain in their legs, which seemed almost detached from their bodies, but a few casual steps from Lin Feng and all the fatigue and soreness had gone. This was too miraculous, they thought; perhaps Teacher Lin was an Immortal, otherwise how could he perform such miraculous feats?

"Let’s go back to eat. Teacher Lin will definitely be even stricter today. We must persevere to become true powerhouses!" As the leader, Xia Jianping too was amazed by everything Lin Feng had shown. He immediately decided they should go back to eat, sensing that a grueling session of training like Hell awaited them today!

But the more intense the training, the happier Xia Jianping became. As long as it made them stronger, he didn’t mind enduring the physical agony. Moreover, after witnessing Teacher Lin’s miraculous ability, they could just ask Teacher Lin to step on them again if they really couldn’t endure the training!

After saying this, with a wave of his hand, he rushed with the other children towards the cafeteria, and after eating, he immediately led the children to the training field to sit in meditation, beginning to recover their Tili and True Qi as quickly as possible.

It didn’t take long before Xia Lalan arrived with the other children at the training field for their usual cultivation. Xia Jianwu and others sat down and began to circulate the True Qi in their bodies. They wore smug smiles on their faces, convinced that Xia Jianping and his group would soon fall far behind—a self-inflicted consequence!

Where was Lin Feng?

At this moment, Xia Lalan found it odd as she didn’t see Lin Feng on the training field, and he had not been seen even during mealtime. Where could he have gone? While Xia Lalan was wondering, Lin Feng entered the training field and walked straight over to where Xia Jianping and the other children were.
