Chapter 8: Cultivation (below)

Gong Hao was tortured physically and mentally by training like hell.
Lancelot is like a full-blown devil. He doesn't care if Gong Hao can withstand the intensive training he has formulated.
In addition to having to be chased by a dire wolf, Gong Hao must do extreme exercises such as squats 500 times with weights, 500 pull-ups with weights, 3,000 kilometers with weights, and 1,000 times with strong side kicks. .
But these are nothing. There were also some trainings that made him nearly dead.
Hammering a stake: Within five hundred punches, he must interrupt a hardwood stake that is as thick as an arm with a fist, otherwise he must repeat it. Each time he beat his hands with blood and flesh, and even saw the bones. But even then, if the stakes don't break, he must continue to fight.
Blocking and dodging training: To put it plainly is to let Lancelot give Gong Hao a hard blow. This guy's fists and feet are as fast as lightning. It is impossible for Gong Hao to block and dodge. However, Lancelot demanded that even if his fist slammed into his face, he could not close his eyes, but must do everything possible to capture his movements, and at the same time, the body must experience as much as possible under such tension. And sense the vindictive presence. This is using high-intensity beating to train his response and physical coordination.
For diving training, Lancelot will press Gong Hao's head to suffocate him in the water, allowing him to use his body to comprehend the inner feeling when he almost suffocates.
In this way, almost every kind of training can kill Gong Hao's life, but Lancelot uses all the methods together, not even giving him rest time.
High-intensity training quickly drained every point of physical strength in Gong Hao's body, so that in the first few days, he couldn't even stand up without even passing one training.
However, Lancelot had no compassion, and every time Gong Hao fell to the ground, he would give him a kick, and scolded him up, otherwise he would cut off his head.
Seeing how his expression didn't look like a joke.
However, it is strange to say that every time Lancelot kicked Gong Hao, Gong Hao felt that a warm air flow came from his feet and entered his body, helping him to quickly recover his strength.
He tried to grasp the airflow, but this air always disappeared within a short time.
Gong Hao knew it was vindictive.
Unfortunately, it is not his own, but Lancelot gave him, the purpose is just to let him recover a little, and then continue to work hard.
But maybe it was Lancelot's fighting spirit, or it could be the effect of high-intensity exercise. Gradually, Gong Hao felt a strange flow of air in the body.
Compared with Lancelot's huge and strong fighting spirit, this fighting spirit in his body is weak as if the fire is shining in contrast to the sun and the moon. If it was replaced by the previous one, it is possible that Gong Hao and Ben would not be aware of its existence.
However, after experiencing Lancelot's fierce foot-to-foot fate, he can gradually feel the existence of fighting spirit, so that he can quickly grasp its pulse, and quickly use Lancelot to teach him Ways to feel and experience.
In this case, Gong Hao finally understood why this kind of training should be used to improve fighting spirit.
When the physical energy is exhausted, he can obviously feel that a trace of fighting energy in his body is rapidly being transformed into the strength in his body, supporting him to continue training. He kept consuming the trace of poor fighting spirit in his body, and overwhelmed himself with his tenacious will. The self-protection function in life came into play, and the continuous fighting spirit was thus inspired.
But if it is said that the power of the senior warrior is like a turbulent river, then the fighting cycle in the poor Xiuyi body is like a small drop of water in the tap.
Lancelot said that the body of each person in the Windming continent will naturally have a slight weakness, which is a gift from heaven, or it may be the essence of their life in the magic continent. But this gift is very limited and does nothing. However, high-intensity training makes people's body constantly in the process of consumption and regeneration, and the internal combat that is constantly used will increase to a certain extent.
This is because overloaded training is actually invading the human body, and only stronger combative energy can have a protective effect. The instinct of life is self-protection, so the fighting spirit in the body will spontaneously and rapidly grow because of this phenomenon. If it was said that Gong Hao couldn't sense its existence before, partly because he lacked a substantive experience of fighting spirit, and because the fighting spirit in his body was too weak, but it must be sensed when it gradually grew stronger. It's not that difficult. Especially in Lancelot's constant instilling a trace of fighting energy into his body, walking in the meridians, allowing him to grasp the existence of this Qi more clearly.
Almost every famous samurai on the mainland has actually used this training method. With the increase in fighting energy, they have also continuously improved their training intensity. If physical exertion fails to reach a standard of overload, the body's sense of self-protection will not result in greater strength.
This is why the samurai's greatest talent is hard work and diligence. Overcoming training has a significant effect on the improvement of vigor, but how many people can really insist? You should know that the growth of vigor is not that you can grow once the next time you are tired, but that you continue to exercise even if you are tired, and always in pain and suffering. One or two times of fatigue will not make the body easily increase fighting energy.
In fact, this quick method can only bring limited improvement every day. It must be practiced day after day, year after year, and the obvious results can only be seen in the accumulation of days and months.
The reason why Gong Hao felt the effects so quickly was mainly because his vitality was weak and he could feel a little growth. After that, your vigor will grow strong. Maybe your hard training has limited growth for a year. It's like 1 plus 1. That's doubled, but 99 plus 1, only increased by 1%. The growth of fighting spirit is fixed, and with the improvement of its own strength, the rate of growth of the fighting will become slower and slower.
So how many people can do such high-intensity overload training day after day, year after year?
The answer is rarely!
No matter what kind of ideal is in life, pain will not be the goal to pursue.
You can long for yourself to be a powerful samurai, long for yourself to stand on the pinnacle of human martial arts, become an immortal being, long for the invincible loneliness of the world with one sword, but the essence of its longing is that The glory and aura behind strength are not the hard and painful sweat of training every day.
People's pursuit of happiness is always a result, not a process.
People are also always smart. If you spend your whole life pursuing martial arts and reaching the top, but you only have a few years to enjoy life, it is obviously a cost-effective sale.
This is why everyone obviously has the potential to become a high-level samurai, but there are very few who can eventually reach the top. After reaching a certain level, most people will not use this self-abuse method to improve their fighting spirit. Even if it is used, it will take three days to catch fish and two days to dry the net. The effect is almost equal to nothing. And slowly upgrading with your heart has gradually become the mainstream.
However, some people who have perseverance and perseverance with hard training often fail to become outstanding samurai because of the lack of guidance from famous teachers.
Therefore, the Fengming continent does not lack the "genius" that has grown rapidly to level 4 or higher within a few years, but it may not have broken through the level 5 and 6 of the "genius" in decades, but it is seriously lacking in those steps that go to humanity The glorious peak.
Of course, the assessment of high-level samurai is not only determined by the flow of fighting spirit in the body, including the use of fighting spirit itself, fighting skills, and the use of martial arts is also very important. However, all skills are ultimately inseparable from the basics of fighting spirit, and they are also inseparable from hard work.
Anyway, in the twelve days of training, Gong Hao had clearly felt the fighting spirit inside his body.
According to Lancelot, as long as this high-intensity training method persists for three months, it can basically reach the standard of vindication required by a junior warrior. If it comes step by step, it may take more than two years.
With Gong Hao's current rate of progress, it may reach the standard in a month. I do n’t know if he is too talented or because Lancelot ’s training is too abnormal.
He hopes to be the former, but think about it and think the latter is more likely.
Doesn't Lancelot apply the standards of his sky warrior to high-intensity training?
A little shuddering!
But anyway, he was very grateful to Lancelot.
Although it is only a little bit of vindictive improvement, if it is placed on even a low-level samurai, it is not enough for them to release a sword, but it is reflected in a twelve-year-old weak child. Gong Hao clearly felt that his strength was almost doubled now.
The so-called rapid progress is because the starting point is low.
If he continues to train like this, he believes his body will become stronger and stronger.
Although it was too painful.
But Lancelot was not interested in teaching him any more.
"Well, you have mastered the combative training method, and you can basically feel the combative combat. From today, I will not teach you anything more."
"But Lord Lancelot, it's only been twelve days. With my current strength, I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with that poisonous python."
"You continue to train according to the training method I gave you, and it should be almost another eighteen days. Those who are just beginning to learn fighting spirit will always make the fastest progress."
"But sir, I hope you can teach me some more aggressive techniques."
Lancelot's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Gonghao's throat: "Hey, boy, don't be too greedy! You are just a servant! Do you still want to be a real warrior?"
Gong Hao was pinched almost out of breath: "Master ... Master ... I just want to learn how to use fighting spirit to resist the poison of the poisonous python. I mean ... if I accidentally sprayed it, at least I can use my spirits to delay time to use antidote. I suppose you do n’t want the lowly servant you trained in the first hand to die?

"Huh ..." Lancelot exhaled a long breath.
He put down Gong Hao: "Well, the use of vindictiveness ... That is actually very simple. You are a clever boy. I worry that once you learn to vindicate, you are afraid that other things can be mastered without a teacher ... I don't want to bother Hines. "
What he said ... Gong Hao quickly converged his mind: "Respect Lord Lancelot, in fact, I am just a humble servant. The reason why I can feel the existence of vindictiveness within a few days is entirely because of Your excellent teaching. The use of vigor is a huge and mysterious science. I believe it is no simpler than alchemy. How can a person like me go without a teacher? "
Lancelot Tieqing's face was finally smiled by this flattery, but he still said lightly: "Who said that the use of combat is complex and huge? In fact, there is nothing simpler than martial arts. Whether it is combat The production, use, or use of martial arts, fighting techniques are actually not complicated. The world of warriors never advocates complexity. Simplicity and practicality are the most important. Just like this sword. "
Lancelot suddenly drew a sword, and a snow-colored light bloomed like a sun.
The sword came out and the sword was closed. He seemed to have never moved, but a big tree not far away fell suddenly.
"Jiangmang?" Gong Hao, who had been trained by the block training to stare at the opponent's weapon even in the most dangerous situation, suddenly captured Lancelot's state at this moment.
The tree that was cut was the sudden surge of the scabbard on the Lancelot sword, but he shot so fast that ordinary people couldn't see his movement at all.
Lancelot smiled slightly: "Yes. Don't you want to learn the use of fighting? This is the use of fighting."
Gong Hao finally understood what it was to ask for help.
If the improvement of fighting spirit is just hard work, and the danger is actually very small, then Lancelot taught him to use fighting spirit, which is simply intentional murder.
The use of vindictiveness is actually very simple. The method of improving fighting spirit itself is actually a way of using fighting spirit. Human beings use fighting spirit to restore physical strength and repair their bodies. But this method is the most primitive and passive.
In order to actively use the energy of fighting spirit, it is necessary to actively control the operation of the air flow in addition to inducing and strengthening fighting spirit, and then use this power to your specified needs.
This is the use of vindictiveness.
But talking about it is not easy.
Gong Hao couldn't control his fighting spirit easily.
In fact, with his pitiful fighting spirit in his body, even if he can sense his existence, how can it be used? After all, he only practiced for a few days. But Lancelot doesn't care.
You need to learn how to use fighting spirit, how can you do it without suffering?
Only this time, he is no longer using such a simple method of physical training.
He put Gong Hao in a cage and let him be locked up with the wolf who chased him for three full days, causing him to turn around the lake for a full 30 laps.
This time, he had to kill the dire wolf directly.
"Boy, there can only be one alive between you and this guy. I hope I can keep my cook, but unfortunately, this is the way of training warriors. There is no breakthrough for people who do not experience life and death. . "
"good luck!"
