92 Training for the figh (1/2)

Old Hai took Bai Yun back to the mansion. On the way, he said that there might be repercussions to his actions, but Bai Yun wasn't worried. Not only did Bai Song, a foundation establishment realm cultivator threw the first punch, they also ganged up on him. And yet he still beat them up. If Bai Yun was going to be in trouble, they would be in even more trouble.

And Bai Yun was certain that Bai Song would not want to spread the truth of what had happened there. The truth was extremely embarrassing to him. So he would definitely try to make sure that no one would spread word of what happened. Whether he would be able to do so was another matter altogether.

And later events would prove him right. Even though most people came to find out what happened, no one came to confront Bai Yun. After all, it was only a fight between kids. And pretty much everyone in Bai Yun's family had beaten up someone in the coliseum before. So none of the older generations thought much of it, other than thinking that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Once Bai Yun returned to the mansion, he continued to read and laze around for a few more days. Once he felt that all of his stress and small instabilities that came with his rapid improvement had stabilized, he decided to once again return to training.

In his parent's mansion, there was a room specially tailored for training. Bai Yun had never been there as he had been going to more specialized training locations. But the reason Bai Yun had been training at a breakneck pace was because of the clan meeting that was coming up in one and a half months. Bai Yun initially thought that he needed to at least reach the peak of the qi condensation to win the clan meeting. But after seeing how poor the battle capabilities of the members of the Bai clan were, he had changed his idea. He was already strong enough to defeat people like Bai Song, who were considered as top geniuses of the clan. Bai Yun had already reached the seventh stage of the qi condensation realm. He was confident that he could at least reach the eighth stage by the clan meeting. By then no one in the clan at the early foundation establishment would have any chance against him.

But before that, he had a fight with Zhang Zi left. Zhang Zi was unlike the others. From his one fight, Bai Yun could see that he had a rich fighting experience. While nowhere close to Bai Yun's, just his battle experience would allow him to defeat foundation establishment at qi condensation. Even without his shockwave innate ability.

The training room contained some training dummies. These dummies could be configured to have various strengths and one could fight against them to test out their strength.

There was a reason Bai Yun had come to this room. He had realized that he was too reliant on his sight and the god sense for fighting. Back in his days he had used his perception to have a great view of the world around him. But now his perception was much weaker. So he had been relying on his eyes to fight.

But during the secret abode incident, he had realized just how mistaken he truly was. Bai Yun's eyes were damaged and he nearly died. Bai Yun realized that he was too reliant on his sight. He had to hone his other senses, or might be in trouble later.

So he first calibrated three dummies to the strength of a ninth stage qi condensation realm cultivator. Bai Yun figured that he shouldn't bite off much more than he could chew in the beginning. Once he did so, he took a blindfold and covered his eyes, to make sure that he could not see anything.

Once he confirmed that he was completely blind, he activated the dummies. Bai Yun stood there in the dark, and tried to sense the approach of the dummies.

As he stood there, Bai Yun's god sense suddenly started to tingle. Bai Yun sensed something coming at him from the left side. Bai Yun turned rapidly and blocked an attack that was aimed at his face. But the next second, Bai Yun felt a kick land on his stomach. He flew back quite a good distance, until he rolled and came to a stop. A drop of blood slowly seeped out of the edge of his mouth.

Bai Yun once again concentrated his senses. This time he was able to hear a sound coming from behind him. Bai Yun leaped forward to dodge the attack. As he stood there concentrating, he could slowly sense three vague figures around him.

Once again Bai Yun charged at the closest dummy to him. But after just a single exchange, he missed an attack and was punched in the face. Bai Yun stumbled back a few steps and stabilized himself. He felt the three dummies surrounding him. Bai Yun spit out some blood and wiped his lips. With a shout, Bai Yun leaped forwards, towards another one of the dummies. Slowly Bai Yun continued his fight. He would often get injured, but he would just get up and fight on.

When old Hai saw how Bai Yun was training, he was surprised. Bai Yun's training was extreme, and all for a fight that may never happen. But he did not want to say that Bai Yun should stop. So old Hai just watched over him and made sure that Bai Yun was not getting too injured.

When he was done with the training for the day, Bai Yun went back to his room. In the night he started to focus on alchemy and meditating to increase his cultivation. Bai Yun had already mastered the qi recovery pill. So he started to branch out into a more and wide range of pills. Thanks to his wealth, he was never in need of any materials. Thus his skill in alchemy grew at an almost unbelievable pace day by day. If any of the alchemists of the Bai clan were to see Ba Yun's improvement, they would most likely kill themselves in shame for the lack of their talent.

With each passing day, Bai Yun's familiarity with the dummies grew exponentially. From getting hit all the time at first, he was able to slowly adjust to it. Soon Bia Yun was able to dodge all the attacks and even fight back slowly. After a few days, Bai Yun was moving amidst the three dummies like a fish in the water.
