“P-please! Spare me!”

“You call this training?! This is more like torture!”

The members of Eternal Lotuses quickly realized just how terrifying and outrageously difficult their boot camp was after only a few minutes. They were constantly being beaten and tossed around like ragdolls by the members of the Demon Sealing Faction.

“What’s wrong?! Are you giving up already?! We’ve just started!” Wang Bingbing shouted at them like a drill instructor in military boot camp.

“Did you think it was going to be easy?! If this is too much for you, give up! However, don’t complain if your peers leave you in the dust!”

While not every member of the Demon Sealing Faction screamed, not a single one of them was going easy on the members of Eternal Lotuses.

In less than ten minutes, over ten percent of the participants tapped out, refusing to continue the boot camp trial. It was simply too much for them to handle.

“If you think this is bad, my training is several times worse than what you’re experiencing now. Everything has a price, and this is the price for wanting to get strong fast.” Shi Lang said as he wasted everyone in group three.

Meanwhile, Bai Lianhua was also being tossed around by Li Jinxi.

‘It’s like I am fighting a relentless monster! She’s not giving me any room to breathe, much less attack!’ Bai Lianhua cried inwardly as she was tossed left and right by Li Jinxi’s heavy strikes despite blocking them.

Half an hour later, seventy percent of the participants gave up.

“What do you think? Want to give it a go?” Yuan looked at Yu Rou, who was watching the training with him.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou nodded and said, “Yes, but I want you to train me, brother.”

“If you think I’ll go easy on you because you’re my beloved sister…” Yuan showed her a cold smile that sent shivers throughout her entire body.

“That’s not it… nor do I want you to go easy on me. I want you to train me because I want to be trained by the very best, even if it’ll be many times more painful.” Yu Rou spoke with clenched fists.

“As expected of my sister.” Yuan’s smile became warmer, and he continued, “Alright. I’ll train you, but don’t you dare complain to me later about it being too difficult.”

“Don’t look down on me, brother. I am no longer the pampered little princess I was before.” Yu Rou spoke with a serious expression.

“Follow me.” Yuan brought Yu Rou back to his residence since the training ground there was already fully occupied.

“Are you ready?” Yuan asked her once they were at the training ground.

“I am.” Yu Rou nodded.

“Then let’s get this party started.”

In the following minutes, Yu Rou experienced complete hopelessness as Yuan delivered a beatdown she would never be able to forget.

If it weren’t for the protection formation, she would’ve died over a hundred times every few minutes.

Of course, Yuan didn’t just silently beat her. Once Yu Rou started getting used to it, he began correcting her mistakes and giving her opportunities to counter him.

Time felt exceedingly slow for the members of Eternal Lotuses since they were constantly in pain. The trial boot camp only lasted three hours. Yet, by the end, everyone felt like they had been tortured for three days straight.

There were no visible injuries on the participants, but as if their bodies had memorized the pain, they would occasionally feel the sensation of phantom blows striking them even long after the training ended.

“Will this really help us get stronger…? I feel like we’re just being practice dummies…” One of them voiced her concerns.

“What would they gain from lying to us? Let’s just trust in the process.” “I am already exhausted from just three hours… I don’t know if I can endure three whole days of this torture, even if it’s just once a month.”

Sometime later, Bai Lianhua gathered all of her members.

Yuan had to carry Yu Rou back because she was so utterly drained that even the mere act of lifting a finger seemed insurmountable.

“So, what do you all think of the boot camp?” Yuan asked everyone there with a calm smile on his face.

“…”

After a moment of awkward silence, someone responded, “It was really difficult…”

With the floodgates opened, more and more of them started complaining.

“Difficult is an understatement!”

“Are you sure you’re not just torturing us for fun?!”

“How will this help us get stronger?”

After listening to all of the complaints, Yuan spoke, “Since I can only prove its effect with results, let’s do this. If you have endured three sessions of boot camp straight without very clear and satisfying results, I will give you an Ancient-grade technique or treasure as an apology.”

After hearing this, the audience’s faces immediately lit up with excitement. However, once they recalled their experience during the trial, their expressions quickly turned dreadful once more.

Seeing this, Bai Lianhua stepped forward and said, “Once again, participation is not mandatory. However, if you wish to rapidly advance and rise above the crowd, this will be the most effective method. Personally, I will be participating in the boot camp. In the last three hours, I have gained more experience than in the past year.”

“You may not see any improvements right now, but that doesn’t mean you haven’t improved at all.”

“Take your time to think this through. You have plenty of time until the next session,” Yuan told them.

After the gathering, the Demon Sealing Faction returned to their residence while Yuan went to the peak of the mountain to pick up Ji Ran, who had been restoring the Lord’s cultivation for the last few days.

“As always, thank you for the assistance.” The Lord thanked Ji Ran.

“I am only doing my duty.” Ji Ran responded.

Once he returned to Yuan’s Dantian, Ji Ran went into a deep slumber to recover.

“How are you doing in the Nine Heavens?” The Lord suddenly asked Yuan.

“Things are getting complicated, but I’m doing fine otherwise.” “Complicated? How?” The Lord inquired, his interest piqued.
