On the training field, Xiong Chu gritted his teeth and went on with his training, but his body had a mind of its own. The next second, he crouched on the ground, breathing heavily.

I pushed him to the limit again! Yaozu Wang didn't urge Xiong Chu to get up, as he knew Chu was struggling. He had reached his physical limit. No man was a machine, let alone a perpetual machine. Once a man was tired or out of energy, he had to get some rest.

Yaozu Wang looked into the distance and saw that Yue Zhao was not training, either. Instead, he was lying on the ground, receiving a leg massage from Dai Li.

Yue Zhao had a two-hour extra practice session this morning. He should have a lot less power left than Xiong Chu does. That should mean I don't need to worry to much. Even if Yue Zhao stayed on the training field for an entire day, without sufficient energy he won't make much progress, Yaozu Wang exhaled, relieved.

However, at this moment, Yue Zhao got up from the ground and went back to exercising.

Did he regain his energy? Yaozu Wang was anxious, so he turned around to ask Xiong Chu, ”How do you feel? Can you stand up?”

Xiong Chu gritted his teeth again, trying to raise himself up with both arms, but was only able to sit up. He had run out of energy for further training.

”Let's take a longer break. Have some water first!” Yaozu Wang could not help but sigh. He gave a bottle of sports drink to Xiong Chu.

After drinking some water and getting back some electrolytes, Xiong Chu had gained some energy. He sat there for a few more minutes, then finally stood up.

”Shall we continue?” Yaozu Wang asked.

Xiong Chu nodded, then returned to training.

After a short while, Xiong Chu laid out on the ground again.

”Let's take another break!” Yaozu Wang sensed that Xiong Chu had reached to his limit again.

I wonder how Yue Zhao is doing? Yaozu Wang looked into the distance again, and surprisingly found that Yue Zhao was still exercising.

Still going? He is so energetic! Yaozu Wang murmured, annoyed.

...

Gradually, Yaozu Wang realized, that although Yue Zhao's training time was longer than Xiong Chu's, he took less rest than Xiong Chu did.

Yaozu Wang began to observe Yue Zhao secretly. However, he found that Yue Zhao's workload was not low; instead, it was even higher than Xiong Chu's.

Yue Zhao has a larger training amount. How can he keep working for so long? He must have a ton of energy! Why didn't he practice long distance running instead? Yaozu Wang complained to himself. However, after he thought carefully for a while, he noticed something was wrong.

Yue Zhao began receiving extra training yesterday, and this morning he practiced for two more hours. He should have run out of energy a long time ago, and should feel more exhausted than Xiong Chu. Yaozu Wang recalled every detail he had observed during Yue Zhao's training progress. Suddenly, though, he remembered that whenever Yue Zhao had taken a break, Dai Li would give him a massage.

I heard before that Dai Li specializes in massage, and is as good as a professional masseuse. Maybe that's why Yue Zhao can keep going for so long.

Thinking about this, Yaozu Wang went over to Xiong Chu, who was resting on the ground, and said, ”Xiong Chu, let me give you a massage!”
