《Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King》Chapter 9 - Training (II)

Next morning...
Despite putting his body through a lot the previous day, Xiao Lin was already up in the morning and was punching very hard at a tree in the yard bare-fisted.
Although he was really sluggish with what was he was doing because of the extreme tightness of his muscles and the immense pain that racked his entire body which was as a result of the intense training that he carried out yesterday, he simply continued to punch and kick at the tree in front of him, ignoring the agonizing pain that engulfed the entirety of his being.
The skin of his knuckles tore apart, same with the skin of his feet, but that didn't stop Xiao Lin from punching and kicking at the tree before him.
Master Wu who was observing Xiao Lin from far shook his head in awe and astonishment.
"This boy is simply a beast in human form. I am sure that if his dad saw him now as he trains to achieve peak human strength, he would surely regret chasing him away from his house because of his animal spirit which is also extremely rare and would grow along with the boy to become tremendously powerful." He said.
He then spoke further by saying "I just wonder how someone will foolishly and ignorantly throw away such an extremely determined boy. This boy is an extremely rare gem."
"Well, another man's stone is another man's gem. Now that he is with me, I will try my best to help him realize his dreams as a powerful cultivator. Although it won't be easy at all, I am just very sure that this boy will turn his impossible situation around. Then the day that he does, that is the day that I will start to bask in the boundless radiance of glory that will endlessly exude from his body"

After punching and kicking at the tree for hours despite the serious pain that he was inflicted with, and at the same time, staining the tree bark with his blood which splashed from the numerous parts of where his skin had ripped apart from, Xiao Lin stopped and then fell to the ground with both knees, fully exhausted.
He couldn't go on anymore as his entire arms and legs had become completely drained of energy. Also, his body was so hot that it seemed like he had developed fever.
However, Xiao Lin still tried to raise his arms to punch at the tree. He surprisingly still wanted to continue punching at the tree, but he just didn't have energy in his arms to do so anymore. He then collapsed with his back to the ground and fell unconscious.
At the moment, many parts of the tree's thick bark had been chipped away by the hard punches and kicks that Xiao Lin sent out very fast at it.
Master Wu who had been silently observing Xiao Lin from where he stood, quickly came over to where Xiao Lin unconsciously lied in and picked him off the ground.
He then carried him to where he initially stood and placed him on a large and thick mat under a tree with a very large canopy to prevent the heat-bearing rays of the glaring and scorching sun from continually impacting his body that seemed like it had developed fever.
Master Wu then left to gather some items that he would use to clean off the blood on Xiao Lin's hands and feet and to heal them of the numerous serious wounds that he had sustained from punching and kicking bare-fisted and bare-footed at that tree.

About thirty minutes later, Xiao Lin eyes snapped open.
He then raised himself to sit on the mat that his body lied on.

And as soon as he brought himself to sit in the cross-legged position on the mat, he brought his hands towards his face to look at his fist and then at his feet. Then he saw to his amazement that the blood that stained his entire hands and feet had been completely wiped off. While the intense stinging pain that he felt earlier had greatly diminished in intensity.
Then when he saw Master Wu in front of him, he quickly bowed whilst seated on that mat and clasped his fist at the same time.
"Master, thank you very much for looking after me." Xiao Lin said, giving his thanks with undiluted sincerity in his tone.
Master Wu only smiled.
"Don't mention. And you really don't have to thank me next time for anything that I will do for you. You are my disciple, just like the others. So, it's simply my duty to look after all you. I am fully obliged to look after your welfares. So, don't give any form of appreciation to me next time, or I won't be happy with you." He said with seriousness in his voice.
Xiao Lin nodded his head with a smile in his face.
He then clasped his fist again and gave a bow.
Master Wu only nodded.
Then a fully perplexed gaze appeared in his eyes in the next moment.
"Now, from the intensity of the training that you carried out on yourself, I can definitely say that it's only a beast that's not from our cultivation world that will possess the unyielding, persistent determination to simply carry on."
"The degree of the numerous strength-training exercises that you put your weak mortal body through to achieve acme human strength was just so high that I won't be able to find anyone in this world to replicate what you have done so far. I really won't be able to find anyone in all the regions in our world to reproduce those insane feats that you executed from yesterday till some moments ago."
"They are just so extreme that only you will be able to do what you did. No other non-cultivator would be able to carry out those mad exercises that you did without having their mind collapsing and their bodies contracting serious illnesses or diseases"
Master Wu then asked further with a questioning gaze in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Lin "What really happened to you before I met you? I am guessing that something totally unspeakable happened to you, erupting that greatly fierce determination and the unmatched beastial anger in you to get back at something that seems like it took something extremely precious from you."
"Tell me what that thing is, Xiao Lin? You can tell me, for I am absolutely someone that you can confide in"
Xiao Lin nodded his head.
He then looked at Master Wu and said with a gleaming glow of unbendable resoluteness in his eyes and palpable hatred in his voice "That thing that seized something that is extremely precious to me is my father. And since he is a dreadfully powerful and formidable person, he is my only reason why I am working very hard to become powerful and formidable too, even though at the moment I am still a mortal. But when I develop the strength and abilities that I greatly desire to possess, I will go back to him to utterly disgrace him like how he disgraced me. And then banish him from the world just like how he kicked me and my mother out of his mansion."
