Chapter 294: Speed Training
Translated by Rara of Exiled Rebels Scans
Now that the competition had ended, it was rare for You XiaoMo to not busy and have free ti to spend. However, his leisure didn’t last even half a day, as Ling Xiao swiftly carried him into the dinsion. It was only a day before when Ling Xiao ntioned about wanting to train him, and he just had to carry his word exactly today! You XiaoMo absolutely wasn’t ntally prepare for this.
You XiaoMo lied down on the grass bed and looked up to the deep blue sky, what a beautiful weather.
It would have been so much better if Ling Xiao didn’t force him here.
Ling Xiao ca over, lightly kicking him with his toes, “Stand up!”
You XiaoMo turned his body and crawled up while sobbing, “Do I have to fight?” With his current strength, even if he attacked Ling Xiao with one thousand or ten thousand hits, he wouldn’t stand a chance to defeat Ling Xiao. In conclusion, a total one-sided match.
Ling Xiao asked You XiaoMo back, “You say?”
You XiaoMo then imdiately procrastinated from standing up.
Ling Xiao pulled him up without hesitation, “I give you two choices, one, you attack , or two, I attack you. So, choose wisely which choice to go for.”
You XiaoMo,”...”
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, “Don’t choose?”
You XiaoMo jittered, “...I will choose the first one.”
Ling Xiao crossed his arms, took back two steps and bead, “Good. Now, attack .”
You XiaoMo swallowed his saliva, “How?”
Ling Xiao grinned, “Like this.” – His sentence ca out the sa ti he threw his fist toward You XiaoMo.
You XiaoMo didn’t think he would attack so sudden, still, he managed to dodge on instinct, and luckily Ling Xiao didn’t really an to hit him, so he avoided it easily.
Ling Xiao derided at him, “Why dodging? Fight back ah, idiot!”
You XiaoMo replied, “Let’s adapt first.”
Ling Xiao said, “Idiot, would you let your enemy have so ti to adapt in the middle of the battle?”
You XiaoMo pretended not to notice his mocking intention. After a mont, he once again faced Ling Xiao and suddenly shouted, “Ah, look behind you, there is a flying pig.”
You XiaoMo’s intention was to take advantage when Ling Xiao turned his head around, but sadly, Ling Xiao didn’t even flinch. In contrary, he gave You XiaoMo a ridiculing look, “This is my dinsion, how could there be flying pigs here?”
You XiaoMo signed, such good strategy and it failed.
Ling Xiao squinted his eyes, “If you don’t attack, then I will.”
You XiaoMo clenched his teeth, shouted and rushed toward Ling Xiao. His posture seed fine, but his hands and legs movent was simply out of pure instinct without any proper skill whatsoever. If he t a more experience opponent, he would definitely lose.
Ling Xiao stretched one of his legs out. You XiaoMo didn’t notice, so he tripped. His whole body rolled on the ground as he ate a full mouth of green grass.
Ling Xiao stood in front of him, casually said, “Looks like this is still too challenging for you.”
You XiaoMo imdiately lifted his head, spat out the grass in his mouth, “I also think like that.” He tried his best to suppress the excitent in his voice.
Ling Xiao said, “If so then, we should start from the basics.”
You XiaoMo asked, “What basics? Do the martial art squat?” Like in every tv show.
Ling Xiao slightly smiled, “No. Since your movents are out of discussion, therefore, we should start from improving your speed first. As long as the speed gets faster, even if the response is inferior, one can still manage to avoid hits.”
You XiaoMo had a bad hunch, “So...how to improve speed?”
Ling Xiao laughed without saying anything while promptly beckoning a demon beast. It was a mid level demon beast specialized in speed, the Thunder Fla Leopard. This leopard released a strong thunder mixed with fla, quite a difficult type of beast to deal with.
Ling Xiao said, “Let’s play a hunting ga. This Thunder Fla Leopard will be the hunter, and the prey, well, is you. When we start, I will command this leopard to mark you as target and it won’t attack you right away, but when it catches up to you, it will release the thunder to punish you. Of course, it won’t kill you...”
You XiaoMo turned around and ran for his life.
Ling Xiao, “...”
After a while, Ling Xiao patted the Thunder Fla Leopard, he glanced toward You XiaoMo’s back and laughed, “Go, don’t overdo it, but don’t make it too light, at least let him taste so sense of crisis.”
The Thunder Fla Leopard growled. It quickly geared its vigorous body toward You XiaoMo’s direction, took a leap and chased after him. It didn’t take the leopard much ti to catch up.
With it’s quick legs, You XiaoMo imdiately felt a trendous threat approaching from behind. By the ti his head turned around to see, the Thunder Fla Leopard had crept up on him. He felt like crying inside his heart, but he was still putting all the strength into his legs as he ran.
However, running on two legs couldn’t compare to running on four legs. When the black shadow passed by his eyes, the thought “dammit” finally ca into his mind. He let out a scream and fell down, his body rolled a few tis on the ground. His body sparked with a few electric current, a few sizzling sounds could be heard from him.
You XiaoMo curled up his body, he knew that this lightning wasn’t fatal, but the numbing sensation from the electric shocks still gave him goosebump.
The taste was simply too unbearable, he cried, he wanted to go ho!
The Thunder Fla Leopard held him up using its mouth and brought him back in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked down at him, “You haven’t passed 300 ters yet and you were caught. This speed is totally unacceptable, you must practice further!”
You XiaoMo lied down on the ground like a dead dog.
Ling Xiao said, “Stand up, continue running, or do you want to taste the electricity again?”
You XiaoMo imdiately revived with a face full of blood, he jumped up and ran away.
When he ran about one hundred ters, the Thunder Fla Leopard decisively began to chase him. Not long after, You XiaoMo was once again being ‘rewarded’ with another thunder strike, and was brought back to Ling Xiao like a dead dog. This ti, even though it was not much, his speed had improved two ters more than the last ti.
....
One hour later.
You XiaoMo was flattened on the ground, panting and couldn’t crawl up.
The You XiaoMo at the mont was barely recognizable. After being struck by lightning repeatedly, his cheek were black like charcoal was sared on his face, his hair was also like coke.
“Wah wah, .... I quit!”
Ling Xiao stroked his head, laughing, “Then we will stop here for the day. Anyway, your speed has indeed improved, you managed to run for seven hundred ters before being caught up. So, let’s continue our training tomorrow.”
You XiaoMo rolled his eyes and passed out.
The next day, ca the sa training again, but this ti, the situation had changed a bit. After growing accustod to the thunder, his body had developed so resistance against it. He was no longer like yesterday, laid flat on the ground with both hand and feet paralyzed after being struck by it.
When he was busy strutting around Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao gently raised his mouth as he instructed the Thunder Fla Leopard, “From now on, increase thunder’s volt .”
You XiaoMo slipped, he was so dead!
On the third day, since they needed to depart for Ward A, the training was postponed.
You XiaoMo almost shed out hot tears as he joyously cheered, this was so not easy!
On the morning of the sa day, after finishing all the formalities, You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao both ca to the eting site, however both BaiLi XiaoYu and Jiang XiaoFei didn’t go with them. Both of them were inspired by You XiaoMo’s victory, thus two days ago, they bid farewell to You XiaoMo and then imdiately went into closed-door cultivation.
At the eting site, flocks of people had gathered at the open space with ten eye-catching Gigantic Firebirds.
Crossing through the crowd, You XiaoMo saw Tong YueXu and Feng ChiYun standing ahead, while next to them were Rong Xuan and Qin Zhang. Since students from Block One and Two would leave here together for ward A, the eting site was the sa for both.
Standing on the left of Tong YueXu was Chai Zheng’s group. On such a worthy celebrational occasion, every single expression on their face wasn’t very eye pleasing, and especially worsened when they saw You XiaoMo, which was really obviously because it reminded them of the competition two days ago.
You XiaoMo looked at them, then walked toward Tong YueXu’s group.
When they saw You XiaoMo, everyone nodded with a friendly manner. Although the competition had ended, there was this saying, “Making a friend is better than making a powerful enemy”, of course, this sentence didn’t include Teng ZiXin’s party.
You XiaoMo excitedly held Tong YueXu’s hand, “It’s good to see you all.”
Tong YueXu, “...”
You XiaoMo, “Right, why are there so many people gathered here?”
Supposedly, students from both blocks gathered here, however, it shouldn’t be this crowded.
Feng ChiYun actually wanted to make friends with You XiaoMo, so he initiatively explained, “Every year, in addition to the students on the top rank of the competition, there were also so that had breakthroughs to a higher level, and there are also students that got an exceptional recomndation by the elders that took a liking of them.” As his sentence finished, Fifth Elder also appeared.
“Next, we will leave for the Ward A. This ward is located on the other side of the deep mountain, if you want to go there from here, you must pass through to the top of the deep mountain, which is highly dangerous, so we need the Gigantic Firebird as transportation. Now, make a group of ten and let’s go.”
Listening the Fifth elder’s word, the practitioners of Block One one after another jumped onto the gigantic firebird’s back.
The Gigantic Firebird of the academy was a little different from the one in Yan City. There was no fixed seats on their back, only the empty vacant space. Sobody almost fell down from slipping while jumping on their back, so this could also be seen as a form of test for the students.
You XiaoMo was picked up by Ling Xiao and firmly fell on the gigantic firebird’s back. Although it quite embarrassing, but with his skill, climbing on it was definitely not an easy feat.
When everyone had settled down, Fifth elder gave the order and the Gigantic Firebird instantly flapped the wing and took up to the sky. You XiaoMo leaned on Ling Xiao’s body, his waist was being held by Ling Xiao so that he wouldn’t fall off. But so other people weren’t that lucky. They almost fell down from the Gigantic Firebird, fortunately there were two elders on each one of them.
A mont later, their figures disappeared into the sky.
