Chapter 36 Body Refinemen (1/2)

Arran looked at Jiang Fei Her eyes were closed, and she sat on the grass with a look of utter concentration on her face

It had been nearly a week since Lord Jiang had given her the scroll containing the circulation technique, but so far, she had not yet succeeded init

At first, Arran had been so the technique He had feared that with her skill in ic, she would surpass him in a matter of days He kneas petty, but still, it felt nice to be better at soe

Noever, he was beginning to feel bad for her She worked day and night, but soical talent alone was not enough to learn Body Refinereat strides inhad been difficult at first, but with the instruction of Lord Jiang, it had taken him less than a week to be able to do it at least somewhat reliably

The effects still astonished hi as he used the technique, he did not tire, no matter how much he exerted himself If he wanted to, he would be able to run at full speed for hours — just as long as he kept using the circulation technique

The downside was that if his focus slipped for even a moment, the technique's effects would collapse, and the built-up exhaustion would hit hiueto catch his breath

”Pay attention!” Lord Jiang's voice shook Arran frohts

”I' about…” He didn't finish the sentence, instead glancing at Jiang Fei

”Don't worry about her,” Lord Jiang said ”Itfaster than usual Even if it's not as fast as you, it's not bad at all”

Arran nodded, feeling both relief for Jiang Fei as well as soress

”Now pay attention,” Lord Jiang said ”I' to teach you about a new use for the technique, but before I do, I ers?” Until now, the things Lord Jiang had taught hi the technique collapse while he was running, in which case he would spend so the technique he could recover rapidly

”What I will teach you next is how to increase your strength,” Lord Jiang said ”It's a variation of the sa already, except this tiy to specific parts of your body”

”But why is it dangerous?” Arran asked He wasn't exactly worried, but he still wanted to knohat risks he faced

”You knohat happens when you lose your focus while running,” Lord Jiang said

Arran nodded

”Now, consider ould happen if you were lifting a thousand-pound boulder above your head, and your strength suddenly failed”

It didn't take Arran ination to envision what the results of such an accident would be And when he thought about how often he lost focus while using the technique when running, relying on the circulation technique for anything that involved risk seeerous at best

”Then how do I train it?” Arran asked

”For a start, you won't be lifting any thousand-pound boulders,” Lord Jiang said ”Nor anything else, for thatfocused, no matter what happens”

”Understood,” Arran said After what Lord Jiang just told hinore the man's words
