Chapter 812 - Crushing Torture (2/2)

Lifting her legs! Stepping forward! And falling! Again, and again.

After repeating the same action dozens of times, it was about ten minutes away from the end of the two-hour training. She sat down on the ground exhausted, panting and gasping for breath. She tried hard to get up several times, but the aches all over her body were like pricking needles. However, they gradually became numb; even some parts of her body were itching.

“I… I-I c-can’t -do it… anymore. Please… let me… have… some… rest.”

The firm determination that was previously on her face finally disappeared as her beautiful face was now looking pitiful.

“If you wanna waste time here, sorry. I cannot and will not accompany you,” said Tang Xiu apathetically. “Take a rest if you don’t wanna have full control over your strength, nor become stronger as fast as possible. Cheng Xuemei, you used to be a policewoman and you’re still a capable, strong policewoman in my eyes. At least you dare to accept the mission from the country, braving the risk and facing dangers to go to Japan alone. Hence, I look forward to your future.”

The pitiful expression on Cheng Xuemei’s face slowly disappeared. She angrily glared at Tang Xiu. She knew that Tang Xiu just deliberately goaded her to motivate her, but she still slowly climbed up.

Stepping forward, and falling again.

After she experienced three more falls but got up again, the itchiness from some parts of her body was as though being replaced by heat. The heat flow made her feel that the pressure was getting lighter and she was able to walk for seven steps this time before she fell down again, drowning in the warm sensation.

Tang Xiu squinted his eyes. As he saw Cheng Xuemei trying to get up from the ground again, he immediately came over to two steps in front of her. He then took out a chart of the human body’s meridian routes in front of her. He faintly said, “You can have two hours of rest. During this time, however, try your best to clearly memorize the meridian routes on this chart, as well as the position of each acupoint. If you can do that, I’ll teach you a set of immortal cultivation techniques, but if you fail, you’ll have your exercise time increased by half an hour.”

Cheng Xuemei couldn’t help but shiver in fright. It took just two hours to make her feel like she was in hell. If that time were increased for another half hour, the torment would simply kill her!

“I’ll try my best!”

Whether it was for the set of immortal cultivation techniques or to not have the exercise time increased by half an hour, she firmly made up her mind to try her best to memorize them.

Two hours later.

A smile hung on the corners of Tang Xiu’s lips as he inquired, “So… have you memorized it?”

“Time’s up already?” Cheng Xuemei looked up and quickly asked.

“Yeah!” Tang Xiu nodded.

Cheng Xuemei’s mouth twitched a few times before she bitterly shook her head and said, “The meridian routes and acupoints on the human body’s meridians chart are just too many. I… I can only memorize less than half…”

Tang Xiu took out a porcelain vase and threw it in front of Cheng Xuemei and then smilingly said, “Well, for you to memorize nearly half of them is already very good. But you’ll still have a two and a half hour training tomorrow. Also, this porcelain vase has Body Tempering Liquid. Pour a drop of this medicine into some water in the bathtub inside the Subaquatic Corvette. Soak yourself in the water for half an hour, then come out again to begin the next training session.”

Cheng Xuemei opened her mouth, wanting to tell Tang Xiu that she hadn’t rested enough yet. After realizing that Tang Xiu wouldn’t change his mind, however, she could only swallow her anger and crawled to get up from the ground, then she staggeringly walked step by step towards the Subaquatic Corvette.

At this time, she finally realized that the two hours of gravity pressure training was just a joke to make fun of her. It would take two hours to walk from here to the coastline where the Subaquatic Corvette was anchored, and two hours was also needed for the return journey if she didn’t turn off the increased gravity. It would probably be much longer in a situation where her physical strength hadn’t yet fully recovered.

‘Shameless bastard.’

Cheng Xuemei cursed inwardly and gritted her teeth on the way back.

Tang Xiu still stayed closed to Cheng Xuemei and watched her continue to fall and climb up to walk again. The grin on his face was getting wider and wider.

At last, after spending two and a half hours, Cheng Xuemei and Tang Xiu finally returned to the Subaquatic Corvette. Tang Xiu took the gravity suit off of her and watched her enter the Subaquatic Corvette. He suddenly remembered that Cheng Xuemei had never used the bathing system in the Corvette previously. He had no choice but to follow her inside; he personally turned on the system and prepared a bath for her, poured a drop of Body Tempering Liquid, and then left.

The following half hour was an even more painful experience for Cheng Xuemei. The changes that the Body Tempering Liquid brought to her constitution resulted in her eyes to show pain, turning them bloodshot.

‘How come I feel comfier now?’

After having soaked herself, Cheng Xuemei left the bathtub. She got dressed and felt that the soreness and pain had vanished entirely, replaced with a comfortable sensation all over. She could even feel her strength which had been fully spent was quickly recovering.

Tang Xiu sat in the rest area of the Subaquatic Corvette. Some food had been served on the table in front of him that he took out from the interspatial ring.

“Well, I changed my mind. Let’s eat first. Enjoy yourself to the food and get four hours of sleep before you start the next training session.”

Cheng Xuemei was indeed starving now. When she saw the food on the table, she immediately dashed and wolfed it down. Then she patted her small belly and belched contentedly.

“There’s a bed next door; I already made the bedding. I’ll wake you up in four hours.” After saying that, Tang Xiu got up and walked towards the cabin hatch of the Subaquatic Corvette.

“Only four hours?”

Cheng Xuemei snorted discontentedly, but she still quickly walked toward the next room. She realized that the next training session would not be easy, so she needed to take time to rest. She could feel that her control over her own strength had increased a lot from that short training. At the very least, she didn’t lose control and bump into things here and there in her regular activities.
