《Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King》Chapter 7 - Xiao Lin's Stubborn Determination

Immediately they arrived in there, Master Wu said to Xiao Lin "Xiao Lin, here's a yard where I train myself. So anytime you want to learn fighting moves, you can come to me. Then I will bring you here so that I will personally teach you"
"Oh. Thank you very much, Master" Xiao Lin uttered while Master Wu nodded his head.
"So, do you have any training whatsoever on any form of martial arts?" Master Wu asked.
"No Master. I don't" Xiao Lin said.
"Alright. It's up to me to me to teach you then." Master Wu said.
He then said further "But before I begin to teach you that, you will firstly have to build your body's strength. That's very necessary. You have to condition your body and build your body's muscles so that you will possess strength in your arms, legs and core to be able to launch really hard kicks and punches at your opponent to shove them off their foot and into the distance while dealing them a considerable amount of damage at that part of their bodies that you struck."
"And not leaving out flexibility exercises, you will have to do them too to be able to fluidly move around a target. By practicing flexibility exercises, you will gain a wider degree of movement, since tight tendons and ligaments will limit or reduce your degree of movement. But once you can achieve a particular level in your flexibility exercises, you will gain a a great degree of freedom, enabling you to easily contort your body in the air and on the ground to liquidly dodge or evade physical attacks." Master Wu said.
Xiao Lin who was listening attentively to what master Wu was saying, nodded his head comprehensibly.
"Alright. Let's start with simple push-ups. Go into the push-up position and give me a hundred push-ups." Master Wu said while Xiao Lin's eyes widened in shock.

Although he knew what push-up was since he had seen warriors at his dad's massive floating palace do them before, however without their legs on the ground, since they were doing the advanced push-up which was really hard to do. But Master Wu saying that he should do a hundred push-ups at a go didn't seat well with him.
But he couldn't refute what master Wu said, since he didn't want to appear lazy and undetermined to him.
He then went into the push-up position to do the push-ups that he was asked to do.
One...
Two...
Three...
He began to count as he lowered his body to the ground from the elbow and raised it back into the air by straightening his arms which were previously bent at the elbows.
Not long, he arrived at forty.
But he began to feel weakness in his arms and some degree of burning sensation in them.
However, he tried to endure the pain and continued on to sixty push-ups.
But it was here that he became completely covered in sweat and had slightly red eyes, while his arms had began to tremble with an intense burning sensation flooding his arms and overwhelming his senses.
However, he didn't want to give up.
'I must to get to hundred and even beyond that' He uttered determinedly within himself.
He then recalled his mom's face and visualized the absolutely terrible things that she might be going through at the hands of his dad and his men.
Immediately he did that, a type of wrath that gave the feeling that if it turned into flames, will surely incinerate the vast boundless sky and burn the entire earth to nothingness, surfaced in his heart.
Then with a muffled raging bellow ringing out from Xiao Lin, he ignored the weakness in his fully exhausted arms and began to do the push-ups that he was requested to do.

So, like that, Xiao Lin resumed his push-ups and made them up to the hundred push-ups that he was requested to do by master Wu many moments later.
But surprisingly, he didn't stop there.
With that towering rage still in his heart because of the heinous and gruesome, unspeakable things that he visualized his dad continuously doing to his mom, he continued to do the push-ups, ignoring the pain and weakness that he was afflicted with.
Seeing the great determination and excessive anger in Xiao Lin's slightly red eyes like they were bleeding, Master Wu left Xiao Lin to continue the push-ups.
He knew that Xiao Lin was surely going to give up later. He was a mortal and his body could only take that much before crashing with him collapsing to the ground.
And master Wu was right, many moments later after doing the push-ups up to a hundred and sixty-seven, Xiao Lin collapsed to the ground.
At the moment, he was completely fatigued to the point that he couldn't feel his two arms again. Also, it was like his entire upper body was really on fire, as a large amount of extreme burning sensation flooded his entire arms and chest and totally overwhelmed his senses, making him to not actually hear anything or see anything. It was simply like he had gone deaf and blind at the same time.
So, he was just there on the ground with his slightly red eyes fully open with that great degree of unbendable determination and unquenchable wrath still fully present in them.
However, one would know that he was completely overwhelmed by exhaustion since his eyelids refused to close. They remained open. So, this would therefore give one the definite feeling that he was so tired to the point that he had no energy in his eyelids to be able to close them.
When Master Wu saw that Xiao Lin still had that determined and wrathful gaze in his eyes, he shook his head with a great degree of perplexity appearing in his eyes.
'What really happened to this boy? He is so full of anger that I have never felt from any other person in my entire life. I will definitely ask him later. Something is wrong with this boy' He said inwardly and then concluded that something really important had been taken from Xiao Lin which he totally yearned for.
He then approached Xiao Lin and fed a vitality refreshment pill into his mouth which he pushed down his throat.
Immediately he did so and the pill got to his stomach and then dissolved, it turned into vital energy that rushed to every area of Xiao Lin's body, filling him up with energy.
Master Wu then helped Xiao Lin up to his feet.
"Would you like to take a long time of rest before continuing?" Master Wu unexpectedly asked.
"No master. I will like to continue" Xiao Lin said with an adamant determination in his voice.
Master Wu nodded his head with a smile in his face and then left Xiao Lin alone who then simply went back into his push-up position to continue his push-ups.

Ortus (Old Version)
This is an old version of the heavily edited and rewritten Ortus This is the story of a woman named Riza. Riza is a woman who wakes up in a forest with nothing, remembering nothing, and on the cusp of death. The only thing she has is a weapon stuck in her side and, after a tangle with a wild boar, something called 'life aspect'. Little does she know that life magic is considered a dead-end branch and is largely outlawed across the world. None of this matters to her, of course. For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy? Riza is not some chosen one, nor is given any boon she doesn't deserve. Instead, she's smart and methodical, and experiements on how to maximise every opportunity, every ability, presented to her. She doesn't just take things at face-value but instead explores just what limitations there are. This often involves maths.
