20 Limit Training (1/2)
The night passed and the two friends were reunited, they both were very happy to be together again.
Little white was deeply impressed at the rabbits improvement!
Although he may have been close to the second rank, he had managed to break through in a short time and opened two blocked meridians.
Not only had his strength increased but by doing so the rate of his energy absorption increased when using his cultivation manual and his body got rid of its impurities.
Little white stretched her body as she inspected the rabbit giving him a look of approval, she thought to herself. 'Not bad, he seems determined and talented enough to keep up with the training plans for the next few weeks.'
Little white began collecting lots of rocks varying in sizes and weights placing them in front of the rabbit and began to talk. ”For the first task, we will begin with picking up these rocks and carrying the maximum weight possible without using any spirit energy. Then we proceed to carry that rock down and back up the mountain. There is no limit in how many times we will do so, the point of this training is improving our physical bodies stamina and strength.”
”Yes!” The rabbit was shocked at first but upon realising the benefits he quickly became determined to give it a try.
”Good, although this training is as mentioned there is another part of this training and other parts which I will mention… When facing life and death the potential of the body is often brought out in such moments, leading to passing the limitations of your mortal body. For example your determination will play a big role in this training, when you feel as if you cannot take another step and feel as if there is a big barrier in your way find the reserves of your strength you never had and push forward.” Little white smiled as she began to test out each rock with her antlers pushing them aside one by one until she found a suitable one and the rabbit joined her in doing so.
She finished up with her speech and began to push the rock in the direction leading to a steep pathway leading down the mountain radiating a dignified aura. ”This exercise will also teach you control and mastery over your bodies movements as well as your environment so make sure to find a way to not lose your rock on the way down the mountain. Martial cultivators must go through tempering of the body, spirit and the heart to achieve greater heights whether it be through fighting other cultivators, facing poor environmental conditions and always being in a state of mind of reaching greater heights!”
After some time passed little white had made some progress and managed to make her way back up the mountain once despite almost collapsing multiple times due to her previously poor physique.
Her body was full of sweat as she finally collapsed completely exhausted, she clearly had shown signs of collapsing long ago but kept pushing herself further and further, if she didn't then she would lose control of the large rock she was was pushing which would fall back to the bottom of the mountain.
Then she would have to go back down and restart from the bottom again, the rabbit however had a smaller body so it took him more effort to push his rock because he could only take small steps at a time.
Although his speed is greater than little white right now, his overall bodies power and stamina wasn't, controlling the rock while using his speed would affect not just his awareness but also put the rock out of his control.
After a few stumbles he lost control over the rock which rolled down the mountain where he had to search for it again.
