42 Training Hell

That was not to say that the intelligence from the Jun Family was bad, but rather that it was normal for it to be not sent to the Young Master.

Furthermore, this Young Master had indeed been quite busy for the past few days. If he wasn't spending time discovering the properties of the Exquisite Hongjun Pagoda, he would be supervising the training of the house guards.

He even went to brew a sizeable amount of wine which was being placed aside for fermentation! Jun Mo Xie only knew what had happened in the city after a few days!

Naturally, there was a reason why the Jun Family was able to preserve its tranquillity. Regardless of the Tang Family or the Li Family, neither one had given the Jun Family any more than a suspicious glance.

Besides the notorious debauchee, the other members of the Jun Family were either old or crippled. Who could they have sent out?

Moreover, Grandpa Jun was a man of honour! His actions were done outrightly without fear. This was a fact that even his opponents had to accept. Naturally, he wouldn't have done it.

As for Jun Mo Xie… It would be simply too embarrassing for the six experts if one were to suspect Jun Mo Xie! Who would believe that this useless debauchee could have the ability to kill a Silver Xuan expert and five Ninth Xuan expert?

However, not everyone in the Jun Family was unscathed!

Due to the free time the Young Master had these past few days, he decided to use the time to brutally put the house guards through a skin peeling training program!

However, not a single one of them voiced out a complaint!

The reason was a simple one - they felt embarrassed, simply too embarrassed, so much that they could not utter a single word!

If each of the house guards had a layer of their skin peeled, then Jun Mo Xie had three layers of his own skin peeled! Perhaps even more than that!

During these few days, watching the training that Jun Mo Xie had put himself through caused even the iron blooded Jun Wu Yi to feel a chill down his spine!

One example of his schedule daily was this.

In the early morning, Jun Mo Xie woke up and proceeded to the courtyard. There he found a hidden corner for him to meditate. As for why he did not do so in his room? It was so that he could be at a place that would allow him to be one with nature, the early morning breeze was a gift from the heavens!

An hour later, he strapped on weights to his body, legs, arms and wrists. After which, he began his training of a variety of basic moves.

Normal punches, straight punches, hooks, uppercuts; normal kicks, front kicks, roundhouse kicks, side kicks, back kicks. Not a single break was allowed in between sessions.

After the set was complete, he immediately moved on to push ups, sit-ups, oblique sit-ups, duck walk, leapfrog, leg stretching, hanging from upside down.

After finishing this session, not a single drop of sweat could escape his body any longer! The muscles in his entire body were pushed to its limits. If an ordinary person had done this training, even if he was able to preserve to the end, that person would end up being exhausted to death!

However, this was but the beginning!

After having exercised both his hands and feet, it was finally time to start training in some set of martial arts movements, each performed meticulously!

Even if these actions were simply practiced according to style without substance, it would still cause one to be drenched in sweat. After all, each was executed to adhere to a strict standard.

Each punch, involved each body part, from the toe and the heel, then to the twisting ankles, the calf muscles, the hamstring, the thigh, and finally the waist. Each muscle would then channel up the momentum up towards the shoulder, which was then sent to the arm. The resulting punch would be one with the strength of the entire body!

Each punch was executed with all his strength!

A famous martial art clan once said, the simplest kicks and punches was the most important!

However, this simple punch and kick must involve all the muscles in the body for it to be actually worth doing!

Some punches can take a person’s life, but others would result in the user to sprain their wrists. This was the reason why this could happen!

This principle applied to other actions as well.

Even if the action only involved a simple punch, it was also a form of martial arts!

The basis of martial arts was the training of such simple movements! The pinnacle of it was the same, to become one with nature!

This form may be simple but it is the best way of training the mind of a martial artist! As for Jun Mo Xie, he also had his body and limbs strapped with weights, increasing the difficulty by tenfold! The amount of energy needed was far exceeding that!

However, this tough training was only the first day of Jun Mo Xie’s formal training! The fierce battle in the rain had given birth the urgent desire of increase his strength – his body was simply too weak!

After completing his morning training program, the Jun Family house guards would assemble before him. Then, there began their hellish training! Jun Mo Xie would also follow them and take part in every training that he had given, starting and finish alongside them!

These training plans were the ones from his previous life, made to produce a superhuman assassin, one akin to torture from hell! It was said that some would rather jump willingly into hell than take part in this training!

Jun Mo Xie’s fellow assassins once spread out these words in secret.

Better to circle King Yama’s palace nine times, than to let the Evil Monarch be in charge of training!

Evidently, Jun Mo Xie’s methods of training were simply too monstrous!

Jun Mo Xie kept repeating to himself.

If I wish to obtain a strength that is unmatchable in the world, I must first have the tenacity and perseverance that is unmatchable in the world.

Without that, I might as well forget about it!

If I have those qualities, I would then need to work harder and sweat harder compared to others.

Otherwise, I might as well forget about it!

It was only after these two conditions were fulfilled, can one be qualified to talk about opportunities! Without hard work, even if the opportunity was to appear right in front of someone, that person will still not be able to grasp it!

Hoping of becoming an immortal just by sitting and waiting was but a pipe dream! Even if one had the greatest luck in the world, holding onto the most powerful treasure in the universe, without hard work, that person would still amount to nothing in the end!

If a soldier was to work hard, then he could be able to eventually leave behind a mark in history as a great general!

A general who did not work hard would also leave behind a mark in history, but that mark would be one of great notoriety!

In order to subdue others and the whole world, one must first be able to subdue themselves!

This was the absolute minimum of conditions!

After finishing his morning special training, he had the house guards run twenty laps around the training ground. Jun Mo Xie himself, followed after them! The same went for all other training sessions. With his current body, Jun Mo Xie would be last in every session, but he obstinately persevered to the end!

After finishing the first day of training, Jun Mo Xie was exhausted to the realm of consciousness. However, the pride of being the best assassin and the dignity of his title supported him, allowing him to neither bend nor break until the very end!

Although this body had undergone the Pulp Rending Meridian Cleanser process, Jun Mo Xie wanted to train his body to the point of perfection as soon as possible! It was only after every muscle in his body had been coordinated accordingly can it be considered to have met Jun Mo Xie’s lowest level of requirements! But how could this be accomplished?

Only through blood, sweat and tears!

For those without hard work, even if a divine fruit was to fall onto their lap, they would only be crushed by the weight of it! There would be no chance for them to even taste it!

Currently, Jun Mo Xie was in the possession of the Nine Layered Exquisite Pagoda and the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. However, both martial arts and cultivation of this skill must be achieved simultaneously! If the body was not strong enough to handle it, then one would be destroyed even with the aid of a divine skill!

The three hundred house guards was sceptical towards Jun Mo Xie’s participation in their training. They believed that the Young Master was only doing it to show off. Seeing him stagger about right from the beginning, all of them chuckled in their hearts, convinced that he would not be able to endure for a long time. Some of them decided to start a bet, discussing about the odds and dates as they were perspiring and training.
