Chapter 1007 - 1005: Jumping off the Waterfall
"First, let’s start with some relaxation exercises. Each of you, carry a stone lock and run twenty laps around the training field!" Lin Feng looked at the children and said indifferently. It was merely an appetizer and he had also gauged these children’s limits. This was just right!
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s order, children like Xia Jianping immediately stood up, without a word, each hoisting a stone lock, and began running laps according to Lin Feng’s requirements. They all felt, after just a little over a day, that their strength had increased significantly; every one of them was in a state of extreme excitement, aspiring to become even stronger!
Gluttons for punishment!
What’s the use of training like this?
They’re all fools!
...
The children training with Xia Lalan saw this and silently judged them in their minds. In their view, children like Xia Jianping must be out of their minds to ignore the easier cultivation practices and instead opt to carry stone locks to run laps as Lin Feng demanded. If that’s not madness, what is! Such training might only strengthen the body and was utterly useless for cultivation, not to mention the immense pain they had to endure. They doubted they could even complete ten laps, let alone twenty.
Is this...
However, children are often oblivious, but Xia Lalan saw something. She stood frozen on the spot, because one of the children led by Lin Feng had actually made a breakthrough to the early stages of the Mortal Realm. She could hardly believe this to be true. She had nearly given up on these children before, and hadn’t imagined that just in the span of a single day, one would break through. Is this real or fake? She had never even dreamed of such a thing happening...
In the blink of an eye, these children finished twenty laps. What had improved from before was that they had all completed the twenty laps as per Lin Feng’s requirement, but not a single one of them could stand afterward. Their thighs twitched incessantly; their whole bodies trembled, and they gasped for air, their lungs feeling as though they would explode. Their True Qi had been completely exhausted earlier, and they had completed the run solely by relying on their willpower!
Good heavens!
How did they do it!
...
The children meditating in the training field, like Xia Jianwu, were astounded by this scene. Carrying stone locks and running twenty laps was something none of them could achieve, but Xia Jianping and his peers had done it right before their eyes. How could this be? With a weight of over a hundred kilograms, running twenty laps with these stone locks was far beyond the limits of their age group – even some in the youth division may not be able to complete such a feat. Is this real or fake?
Seeing this, Xia Lalan was also stunned, unable to comprehend how Xia Jianping and the other children had done it. Had she not witnessed it herself, she wouldn’t have imagined such young children could achieve this!
Lin Feng glanced at Xia Jianping and the other children, who were sprawled on the ground, and walked over, not uttering a word. He kicked each of the children a few times, and immediately screams erupted like the slaughtering of pigs, chilling Xia Lalan to the bone. She couldn’t bear it any longer and intended to stop Lin Feng—even if they were training under him, such mistreatment was unjustifiable!
But just as she was about to reprimand Lin Feng for abusing the children, an unbelievable scene unfolded. After the children screamed out, they all climbed up from the ground. That was not all – their breathing remarkably steadied in an instant, and it seemed as if they had regained their strength, their complexions rosy as though reborn.
How... how is this possible!
Xia Lalan was utterly dumbfounded by the scene, unable to believe that everything before her was real. The children were clearly drained of their strength to the point of not being able to stand, but after being kicked by Lin Feng, they were as lively as ever. It was too magical, unbelievably so! It was so incredible that it was hard for anyone to believe, let alone her, even though she had witnessed it with her own eyes...
Is... is everything okay now?
How can this be...
...
Just like Xia Lalan, the other children were also bewildered by everything they were seeing, standing frozen in place. Could this be real or fake? How could such a thing happen? Lin Feng must be an Immortal, otherwise how could he perform such unimaginable feats!
"The next training will be a bit more interesting, consider it a game to loosen up your muscles! Each of you take two stone locks and attack each other non-stop. Remember one thing: do not let go of the stone locks. This game will only have one winner and if anyone slacks off, you’ll all be punished!" Lin Feng looked at the children and said lightly. After finishing his words, he shook his finger. He didn’t need to say anything else; the children surely knew what to do.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
...
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, children like Xia Jianping said nothing and rushed to the training field, summoning all their might to barely lift two stone locks, the veins on their faces bulging. One stone lock weighed over a hundred kilograms; two were over two hundred. Even someone from the youth division would struggle to lift them, and they at their age couldn’t really lift them at all, yet Xia Jianping and his peers had truly achieved it...
Seeing such a scene, children like Xia Jianwu looked at Xia Jianping and the others as if they were beholding monsters, wondering where they had found the strength. Are they even human?
But what drove them even crazier was that Xia Jianping and the other children, with a stone lock in each hand, started running around the training field and swinging the locks to attack each other while running. This immediately made their eyes pop, their mouths agape enough to swallow an entire egg! No matter what, they couldn’t understand how Xia Jianping and the others managed to do it, how they had such immense strength. This... this was just too astounding...
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
Several children chased each other while constantly swinging stone weights over a hundred pounds, attacking one another. They could only desperately attack each other now, hoping to be the last one standing—none of them wanted to be touched by Lin Feng’s finger!
Time flew by, and just after the incense stick burned down, a result emerged.
Unexpectedly, a child who looked quite unremarkable ended up laughing last. Xia Jianping and another child at the early stage of the Mortal Realm were first defeated by the other children together. He took advantage of the situation at the end, but after he knocked down the last person, he could hardly hold on any longer. He couldn’t lift the stone weights anymore, and with hands gripping the weights, he was bent over, gasping for air...
As usual, Lin Feng walked over to the children, gave a slight punishment to those who had not completed the task, then kicked a few of them to restore some of their spirit. He glanced at a waterfall not far away, and a new idea sprung to mind.
"You guys did pretty good in training this morning, now go take a bath," Lin Feng said indifferently to the children, and after speaking, he pointed towards the distant waterfall. On the island before, there were only cliffs without waterfalls, but here, the waterfall could be put to good use.
Teacher Lin, this?
A bath?
How could that be?
...
Xia Jianping and the other children were utterly baffled by Lin Feng’s arrangement. The morning’s training was so tense, they had spent it nearly fainting and coming back to consciousness, and they couldn’t believe that Lin Feng would kindly take them to bathe. But since Lin Feng had already spoken, even though they didn’t know why, they could only follow him to the edge of the waterfall. Looking up at the towering waterfall, listening to the thunderous roar below caused by the water’s impact, they all stood there frozen, feeling a chill in their hearts, truly not understanding what Lin Feng wanted them to do.
But just as they were stunned, Lin Feng spoke again...
"The pool under the waterfall is not bad, jump in yourselves!" Lin Feng told the children. In fact, he really meant it. He had seen the strength of these children, and jumping from this thirty-odd meter high waterfall, they wouldn’t die from it!
Jump from the waterfall!
Oh my!
This... This...
...
Upon seeing this, Xia Jianping and the other children were all terrified by Lin Feng. The waterfall was more than thirty meters high, and even if there was a pool below, they couldn’t withstand the impact force. Thinking this, they were all scared and started to back away.
It was not their fault, they were still just children. They could understand Lin Feng’s previous training, which posed no risk to their lives, so they could train with all their might. But jumping from a waterfall, what was that about? Falling from there, one could easily die!
"I’ll do it!"
While most of the children backed away, Xia Jianping stepped forward. He was also afraid, but he believed that Lin Feng wouldn’t ask them to do something so dangerous without a reason. Lin Feng must have a rationale for doing this, and he further believed that Lin Feng wouldn’t let them simply die like this! After saying this, he ran towards the waterfall and leapt...
Seeing Xia Jianping leap, the other children also jumped down. If Xia Jianping wasn’t afraid, neither were they!
Oh my! They were actually jumping from the waterfall!
Isn’t this playing with their lives? Such a high jump, if it doesn’t kill them, it won’t be far off!
If they damage their foundations, it’s all over, how could they continue their cultivation in the future!
...
Witnessing Xia Jianping and the children actually jumping from the edge of the waterfall, Xia Jianwu and the others became like wooden statues, completely petrified. They couldn’t believe that Xia Jianping and the children would do something so crazy. Jumping off the waterfall? That was simply courting death!
This was a waterfall over thirty meters high, such a fall without sufficient strength was nothing short of suicidal, and even if it wasn’t fatal, serious injuries were certain. If they damaged their foundations, they’d be finished forever, unable to cultivate again. If this wasn’t madness, what was? It was too insane, too insane...
What was Lin Feng trying to do?
At that moment, Xia Lalan also stood in shock. She hadn’t expected Lin Feng to make the children jump from the waterfall; it was too surprising. She couldn’t understand the purpose behind such an act. If it was the series of training from the morning, she could comprehend, but jumping from a waterfall seemed to have nothing to do with training. What was Lin Feng thinking, how could he train children like this? She couldn’t figure out the purpose of jumping from the waterfall...
