Chapter 8 Cultivation (Part 2)
Training like hell was crazily torturing Gong Hao's body and mind.
Lancelot is like a complete devil. He doesn't care whether Gong Hao can withstand the super-intensity training he has formulated.
In addition to being chased by the dire wolf, Gong Hao must practice extreme body exercises such as squatting 500 times a day, pulling 500 times a day, crawling 3,000 meters with weight, kicking 1,000 times a day, and kicking 1,000 times a day.
But these are nothing. Some trainings made him so painful that he almost died.
Hammering the wooden stake: Within five hundred fists, he must break a hardwood stake as thick as his arm, otherwise he must do it again. Every time he beats his hands to the point of blood, his skin and flesh, and even sees the lush white bones. But even so, if the wooden stake is not broken, he must continue to hit.
Blocking and dodging training: To put it bluntly, Lancelot beat Gong Hao hard. This guy's fists and feet are as fast as lightning, and Gong Hao cannot have the possibility of blocking and dodging. However, Lancelot requires that even if the fist hits his face, he cannot close his eyes, but to do everything possible to capture his movements, and at the same time, his body must experience and sense the existence of fighting spirit as much as possible in such a tense situation. This is using high-intensity hitting people to train his reaction and body to coordinate.
During diving training, Lancelot would personally press Gong Hao's head to stuff him into the water, allowing him to use his body to understand the feeling of inner breath when he was almost suffocating.
In this way, almost every training can cost Gong Hao a life, but Lancelot uses all the means together, and even does not give him time to rest.
The high-intensity training quickly drained every bit of physical strength in Gong Hao's body, so that in the first few days, he couldn't even stand up without even passing a training.
However, Lancelot had no compassion. Every time Gong Hao fell to the ground with his strength, he would kick him hard, scold him loudly and ask him to get up, otherwise he would cut off his head.
His expression doesn't look like he's joking.
But it's strange. Every time Lancelot kicks Gong Hao, Gong Hao feels a warm air flow from his feet, entering his body, helping him quickly recover his strength.
He tried to grasp the airflow, but the air always disappeared without a trace in a very short time.
Gong Hao knew that it was fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, it was not his own, but Lancelot gave it to him. The purpose was just to restore him a little and then continue to work hard.
However, perhaps it was caused by Lancelot's fighting spirit or the effect of high-intensity exercise. Gradually, Gong Hao felt a strange flow of air in his body.
Compared with Lancelot's huge and thick Dou Qi, the Dou Qi produced in his body was as weak as the fluorescent fire shining against the sun and the moon. If it were the past, Gong Hao and the others might not have noticed its existence.
However, after experiencing the violent ravages of Lancelot one after another, he gradually could feel the existence characteristics of Dou Qi, so that he could quickly grasp its pulse, and quickly use the methods Lancelot taught him to feel and experience.
It was in this situation that Gong Hao finally understood why he needed to improve his fighting spirit through this training method.
When his physical strength was exhausted, he could clearly feel that the trace of Dou Qi in his body was rapidly transforming into the power in his body, supporting him to continue training. He constantly consumed the trace of pitiful Dou Qi generated in his body, and overdrawing everything about himself with his tenacious will. The self-protection function in his life took effect, and the continuous Dou Qi was stimulated in this way.
But if the power that the high-level warrior is stimulated is like a surging river, then the circulation of the Dou Qi in the poor Xiu Yi's body is like drops of tiny water droplets in the faucet.
Lancelot said that everyone in Fengming Continent has a thin and weak fighting spirit in their bodies. This is a gift from God, and it may be due to the essence of their lives in the Magic Continent. However, this gift is very limited and cannot play any role. However, high-intensity training makes people's bodies constantly in consumption and regeneration, and the fighting spirit in the body that is constantly being used will increase to a certain extent.
This is because overload training is actually infringing on the human body. Only stronger Dou Qi can produce a protective effect. The instinct of life is self-protection, so the Dou Qi in the body will spontaneously grow rapidly due to this phenomenon. If Gong Hao could not sense its existence in the past, on the one hand, it was because he lacked a substantial experience of Dou Qi, and on the other hand, it was because the Dou Qi in his body was too weak, but when it gradually grew and grew, it was not so difficult to sense it. Especially when Lancelot kept instilling a trace of Dou Qi 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. As the energy of Dou Qi increases, they continue to improve their training intensity. If the physical energy cannot reach an overload standard, the body's self-protection consciousness will not produce stronger power.
This is why the greatest talent of warriors is hard work and diligence. Overload training has obvious effects on improving the fighting spirit, but how many people can really persist? You should know that the growth of fighting spirit is not something you can grow once when you are tired, but even if you are tired, you must continue to exercise and be in pain and torture at all times. One or two fatigue will never easily increase the fighting energy of the body.
However, the improvement that this quick method can bring every day is still limited. You must practice day after day, year after year, and only then can you see obvious results over time.
The reason why Gong Hao felt the effect so quickly was mainly because his body was weak in fighting spirit, and he could feel it if he had a slight increase. When the fighting spirit became rich in the future, you may have a limited growth for a year of hard work. It was like 1 plus 1, which doubled, but 99 plus 1, which only increased by one percent. The growth volume of fighting spirit is fixed, and as his own strength increases, the growth rate will slower and slower.
So how many people can do such high-intensity overload training day after day, year after year?
The answer is very few!
No matter what kind of ideals you have in life, pain will not be the goal you pursue.
You can long for yourself to become a powerful warrior, to stand at the peak of human martial arts, to become an immortal existence, to go all out with one sword, and to be invincible loneliness that has never been defeated, but to ask for it, the essence of its desire is the glory and halo behind the strength, rather than the difficult and painful sweat during the training day by day.
The happiness people pursue is always the result rather than the process.
People are always smart. If you spend your whole life pursuing martial arts and reaching the top, but end up only having a few years to enjoy your life, it is obviously a not-for-money deal.
This is why everyone has the potential to become a high-level samurai, but very few people can finally reach the peak. Most people will no longer use this self-abuse method to improve their fighting spirit after reaching a certain level. Even if they use it, they will only fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and the effectiveness is almost nothing. However, the slow improvement of the mind method gradually becomes the mainstream.
However, some people who truly have the perseverance and perseverance of hard training often cannot become outstanding warriors because of lack of guidance from famous teachers, and are buried for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, Fengming Continent does not lack the "genius" who has quickly grown to level 4 or above in a few years, but it may not have broken through level 5 or six in a few decades, but it is seriously lacking those figures who have reached the peak of human glory step by step.
Of course, the evaluation of a high-level samurai does not only depend on the flow of Dou Qi in the body, but also the use of Dou Qi itself, fighting skills, and martial arts are also very important. However, all skills are ultimately inseparable from the foundation of Dou Qi, and also inseparable from hard training.
In any case, Gong Hao had already clearly felt the existence of fighting energy inside his body after twelve days of training.
According to Lancelot, this high-intensity training method can basically meet the requirements of a junior warrior for fighting qi if it is done step by step. If it is done step by step, it may take more than two years.
With Gong Hao's current progress speed, he may be able to meet the standard in one month. I don't know if he is too genius or Lancelot's training is too perverted.
He hoped that it was the former, but when he thought about it, he felt that the latter was more likely.
Lancelot didn't use the standards of his Sky Warrior when he used high-intensity training on himself, right?
A little chilling!
But no matter what, he was grateful to Lancelot.
Although it was just a little bit of improvement in fighting spirit, if it was placed on a low-level warrior, it would not be enough for them to release a sword light once, but the changes brought about by a weak child of twelve years old were earth-shaking. Gong Hao obviously felt that his strength was almost doubled compared to usual.
As the saying goes, rapid progress is because the starting point is low.
If he continues to train like this, he believes that his body will become stronger and stronger.
Even though that was too painful.
But Lancelot was not interested in teaching him anymore.
"Okay, you have mastered the training method of Dou Qi, and you can basically feel the existence of Dou Qi. From today on, I will not teach you anything."
"But Lord Lancelot, it's just twelve days. With my current strength, I'm afraid I'm not enough to deal with the poisonous python."
"You continue training in the way I gave you, and it should be almost done in another eighteen days. Those who are just starting to practice fighting spirit always make the fastest progress."
"But sir, I hope you can teach me some skills in using fighting spirit."
Lancelot's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Gong Hao'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 almost breathless when he was pinched: "Big... Sir... I just want to learn how to use Dou Qi to resist the poison of the poison python. I mean... If I accidentally get sprayed by it, at least I can use Dou Qi to delay the time and use the antidote. I think you don't want the lowly servant you trained to die like this, right?"
"Hu..." Lancelot let out a long sigh.
He let go of Gong Hao: "The use of Dou Qi... It's actually very simple. You are a smart boy. What I worry about is that once you learn to Dou Qi, you are afraid that other things will be learned without a teacher... I don't want to cause trouble for Hines."
What he meant... Gong Hao quickly restrained his mind and said, "Dear Lord Lancelot, I am just a humble servant. The reason why I can sense the existence of Dou Qi in a few days is entirely because of your excellent teaching. The use of Dou Qi is a huge and mysterious science. I believe it is not simpler than alchemy. How can a person like me learn it without a teacher?"
Lancelot's ascitesy face finally smiled by this flattery, but he still said lightly: "Who said that the use of fighting spirit is complicated and huge? In fact, there is nothing simpler than martial arts. Whether it is the generation, use of fighting spirit, or the use of martial arts, or the skills of fighting, it is actually not complicated. The world of warriors never advocates complexity. Simplicity and practicality are the most important thing. Just like this sword."
Lancelot suddenly drew his sword, and a snow-colored light burst out with a sun-like light.
The sword came out and the sword was closed. He seemed to have never moved, but a big tree not far away fell down.
"Sword Light?" Gong Hao, who was blocked and trained so that his eyes were staring at the opponent's weapons even in the most dangerous situation, suddenly captured the state of Lancelot's attack at this moment.
The one who cut off the tree was the sudden surge of sword light on Lancelot's sword, but his attack was so fast that ordinary people could not see his movements clearly.
Lancelot smiled slightly: "That's right. Don't you want to learn how to use Dou Qi? This is how to use Dou Qi."
Gong Hao finally understood what it means to suffer.
If the improvement of Dou Qi is only hard and the danger is still very small, then Lancelot taught him how to use Dou Qi, which was simply intentional murder.
The use of Dou Qi is actually very simple. The method of improving Dou Qi is actually a way to use Dou Qi. Humans use Dou Qi to restore their physical strength and repair their bodies. However, this method is the most primitive and passive.
If you want to actively use the energy of Dou Qi, you must actively control the operation of the airflow in addition to sensing and strengthening the Dou Qi, and then use this power to your designated needs.
This is the use of Dou Qi.
But it's easy to say, but it's not easy to do.
Gong Hao couldn't control the fighting spirit freely.
In fact, with the pitiful fighting spirit in his body, it would be good to make him sense of existence, so how could he use it? After all, he had only been practicing for a few days. But Lancelot didn't care about this.
You need to learn how to use fighting spirit yourself. How can you not suffer any hardship?
But this time, he no longer uses physical training as simple as it is.
He locked Gong Hao in a cage and let him and the dire wolf who had been chasing him for three days, causing him to circumvent the lake for thirty circles.
This time, he must kill the dire wolf directly.
"Boy, there can only be one person between you and this guy. I hope I can keep my cook, but unfortunately, this is the way of training for warriors. People who do not experience life and death will not make any breakthroughs."
