Chapter 46: Training (2)
--"During each of the rounds I did, I was only looking for you to learn those 4 attack patterns, and the end was for you to realize that you didn't understand anything but the essence of the training. You thought I would attack with one of the 4 patterns because you remembered that at the beginning, I attacked starting from the top.
That is wrong, but you did not use spiritual energy, because you understood that, if you use it, you will damage the bamboo, and that is fine. But I am not looking for you to learn the patterns, the patterns are created by you while analyzing the battle." Tang Yin said but did not stop.
--"What I want you to understand with this training is that your enemies will almost always have a second attack ready in case the first one fails. So, don't think about the attack you are seeing, because you will know how to stop it. You must think about how you are going to stop the next attack because that one you don't know where it will come from." Tang Yin said.
Just as he finished saying that, Huang Feifei's eyes twinkled a little in understanding.
'So that's why he attacked me in simple and slow patterns, but that could happen...' She thought and immediately nodded after doing so, so she sighed deeply.
'I must make an effort if I want to learn. I can't let his effort go to waste. I must learn everything he wants to teach me to the best of my ability so he won't think I'm a burden...' She thought, and after taking about four breaths, she relaxed and stared at Tang Yin, then moved her scepter a little.
--"Let's proceed, Tang Yin." She said firmly, and Tang Yin then smiled.
'Looks like she'll really be focused now.' Tang Yin thought.
Actually, she missed more than she should have because Tang Yin attacked her unawares every time, and because she was in a state of confusion, she couldn't respond correctly to his attacks.
But he had to do so that she could understand everything perfectly.
Tang Yin then nodded towards her, and immediately ran in her direction and quickly started a small combat.
Tang Yin quickly attacked her this time with his bamboo as the small sound of blows rang throughout the courtyard.
She was just defending herself while enduring the blows Tang Yin continuously gave her.
Tang Yin was not going easy on her just because she was a woman, so even though he restrained himself, he still gave her strong blows on her body to destabilize her back and forth...
Several fights went on that day, while Tang Yin talked continuously as they fought, trying to teach her different things.
Huang Feifei was cooperative and a good student, trying to memorize everything while understanding what she could.
A few hours later...
Huang Feifei was lying on the ground with her face a little red, and with some small bruises all over her body, she was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
Tang Yin then smiled at her.
--"You've worked hard today, let's go inside. We are not done yet." Tang Yin said as he gave her his hand. She smiled tiredly as she grabbed his hand, and then they went inside.
Huang Feifei had understood one more thing today.
Tang Yin had bought the bamboo to give her more pressure in her learning. But, despite that, a total of 25 bamboos were still broken.
She regretted this. For if she had been careful, she would not have broken so many.
But Tang Yin was satisfied with this.
'For the first day, 25 bamboos alone are great progress. As expected of a heavenly body.' He thought with a smile.
There was another reason why he had chosen to teach her by beating her.
It was, precisely, her celestial body.
Crimson Fire Heavenly Body, also nicknamed as the Crimson Flower Body.
It is an extremely good heavenly body, one of the best of its kind. When Tang Yin found out that she had such a body, he was so pleasantly surprised that he even wanted to take her with him everywhere, just to keep her well.
It's because this is a body that can ascend into a very unique, special, and legendary Divine Body...
The Divine Phoenix Body!
A true Divine Phoenix Body!
Even if it is very difficult to ascend it, it is still possible, and if achieved, it would become one of the greatest powers of his world in the future.
Now, there is a little problem that Tang Yin noticed when he saw this Heavenly Body in Huang Feifei.
Her attribute is wind, why does she have the Crimson Flower Body? The Crimson Flower Body is characterized by bringing out its best version when the wearer is of fire attribute, why would it come out in someone of wind attribute?
This can be easily explained. Huang Feifei's first attribute is wind, which is true. But it is not necessarily the only one.
She can perfectly be compatible with all attributes at the same time, so her celestial body will not be affected even if she trains wind.
But it is advisable that starting from the Seventh Spiritual Bone, she starts to obtain the Bones of Fire attribute to get the most out of it since, after all, only with fire can demonstrate the capabilities of a Fire Body.
In addition, this is a body that is coveted by the whole world but hard to find.
Having it in front of him was already a great miracle from heaven, which Tang Yin could not waste, so he was happy.
But, the thing about this heavenly body is that it is a body that tends to learn by blows. The more blows it receives, the more it will understand what it is trying to teach.
Some say it is because the Divine Phoenix of ancient times was a masochistic bird, but perhaps that is a lie. So far, what Tang Yin knows is that it is because of her blood, which is a blood that will learn faster when faced with adversity, although it is not confirmed.
Still, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that she learns faster with blows. So that's how he will teach her.
When they both entered the house, Tang Yin started to prepare some things.
First, he took out a huge pot and put it on top of a huge fire with a lot of fire. After that, he poured plenty of water that he had bought at the association and many spiritual herbs of different kinds that soon started to paint the water a green color.
Then Tang Yin looked at Huang Feifei who was sitting resting while looking at him.
--"Take off your clothes, you will take a Spiritual Bath while cultivating in there. This will improve your foundation, spiritual energy, and physique extensively, although it might be very painful. Also, you're going to cultivate in there all night, so make yourself comfortable." Tang Yin said with a smile, and Huang Feifei looked at him in astonishment.
--"Is that whole bunch of spiritual herbs for me to grow? Are you really going to waste that much money on medicinal baths?" She asked, and after that, she spoke again.
--"That's too expensive, Tang Yin!" She exclaimed, clearly not wanting to do this, but Tang Yin just shrugged his shoulders and moved over to where she was standing to stroke her head a little.
--"Spending money on you I don't see it as a waste. If I'm going to strengthen you, I'm going to do it right and spend as much money as it takes. That was why I decided to sell those pills today, in case it's necessary." Tang Yin said with a smile and then went to continue preparing the water.
--"Besides, you will have a medicinal bath daily for the next month, so you should get used to it." Tang Yin said calmly, and she didn't know what to say.
Her beautiful little eyes filled with tears for a moment.
She hadn't expected to find someone who didn't mind spending so much money on her. On helping her to be strong and thus can fulfill her revenge.
But...
That feeling he gave her; was something that made her feel safe and protected. Plus, it made her feel like she finally had someone she could trust.
It was a beautiful feeling.
But she quickly pulled herself together and did as he told her and pulled a blanket over the end.
Then she came up behind him.
--"I'm done..." She said softly, and Tang Yin nodded as he turned and was about to speak, but when he saw her blushing as she was illuminated by the moonlight coming through the windows, in a small bathing blanket...
