Death... and me

Chapter 3140: Here We Go!

Kentucky continued to fly nonstop, forcing every single drop of sweat from Zangeshu's body. Zangeshu threatened to fall behind several times, but he found within himself the energy to push through, even though all his meridians were on the verge of collapsing.

Rean continued to cultivate, but he kept his Spiritual Sense on Zangeshu this time. The guy was arrogant, extremely confident, and overbearing. However, he was also like that towards himself. That made Rean very satisfied. First, he did have what it takes to grow stronger, and above all, thinking about him as Roan was still marvelous.

Suddenly, Zangeshu's vision went black, and he plummeted from the skies. He was very high, and he wasn't using Spiritual Energy to defend himself since he lost consciousness. He never trained his body, either. If he smashed against the ground as he is, he would definitely die.

However, Kentucky's body flashed for a moment. In the next moment, he was already by Zangeshu's side as Rean caught his body. After putting him lying on Kentucky's back, he checked Zangeshu's body with his Spiritual Sense and Energy, nodding. "He was able to push himself to the point of losing his consciousness. That's exactly what he needs if he wishes to grow stronger. His talent is terrible, and he will never reach the level of someone like Luan or Foliana. Nonetheless, it is still salvageable."

Kentucky turned around again and resumed flying away. "I have to admit, he lasted way longer than I thought. Some of his meridians truly burst due to the overuse. The pain definitely wasn't anything easy to resist, but he did anyway."

Rean smiled. "The old saying works well here, too. If you think you are going to die, then your training is going well."

Following that, Rean sent his Light Element and Spiritual Energy, activating his Instant Recovery Skill. In a few seconds, the burst meridians were rebuilt, the fatigue was blown away, and the almost dead body was revitalized. If Rean wanted, he could make Zangeshu wake up right there and then. However, he knew the human body better than anyone else.

Even though he healed everything, the cells themselves had been pushed too far. In fact, they were pushed way further than Rean and Kentucky expected. Rean added a little bit of his Light Element into Zangeshu's body and resumed his cultivation while Kentucky kept flying. Six hours later...

*Bang!*

*Arrrghhh!*

Out of nowhere, Rean kicked Zangeshu's body out of Kentucky's back. Zengeshu instantly woke up, not knowing what happened at all. The next moment, he noticed he was falling from the skies and quickly circulated his Spiritual Energy to stop.

Not too far, Kentucky was flying away while Rean rebuked Zangeshu. "How long were you going to sleep? Let's go back to your training. Fly, fly faster, and even faster! Keep up with Kentucky!" Rean then looked at Kentucky. "Kentucky, you went too easy on him the first time. Show him a little bit of your speed this time, okay?"

Kentucky gladly accepted. "No problem. Hey, kid, keep up!"

*Zush!*

And once again, Kentucky increased his speed. Zangeshu's earlier flight already showed its results. The meridians that burst due to overuse were mainly the ones that were clogged. After Rean healed them, they were now slightly more open, so Zangeshu could definitely use Spiritual Energy better this time. Naturally, there was no way Rean wouldn't notice that. Thus, Kentucky increased his speed once again.

Zangeshu didn't know left from right. He didn't even know he had fallen asleep. Did he really fall asleep? It was more like he just blacked out. Yet, he was feeling great at the moment... except for his butt, which was kicked by Rean a moment ago. Rean made sure to add some controlled amount of Roan's Dark Element to make it especially painful for a few minutes.

Zangeshu gritted his teeth and shot in Kentucky's direction. He was angry. Angry with this training, but especially angry that he lost consciousness. He didn't even notice that his releasing and absorption of Spiritual Energy had improved a little.

Another day passed, and Zangeshu collapsed once again. He did everything he could, but Kentucky seemed to never get tired. In fact, Kentucky truly wasn't. For him, the speed he was flying could barely be considered leisure. Well, when it comes to flying, not even the twins could beat the Regal Minokawa, let alone a puny Zangeshu.

Eight more hours passed...

*Bang!*

And Rean kicked Zangeshu from Kentucky's back once again. Rean didn't even bother saying anything, nor did Kentucky. Rean continued to cultivate, and Kentucky continued to fly. There was only the almost crying Zangeshu behind. Just when would this torment stop?

Time passed, and Zangeshu collapsed again.

Rean healed his meridians. Then, another kick and Zangeshu began to fly again... Until he collapsed just like the other times.

This process is repeated over ten times. If Kentucky could fly at his normal speed, they would probably have made at least half the way to the Demon Beasts' Continent. Yet, because Rean was using this method to train and especially test Zangeshu's resolve, they were still far.

*Bang!*

Another kick, and Zangeshu didn't even try to understand what was happening as he woke up. He immediately stabilized himself and looked in Rean and Kentucky's direction. "Fuck this shit! Is there any meaning to this training?"

Rean looked back at him, smiling. "The fact you haven't noticed the benefits yet shows that you are truly a kid. We are even going easy on you, you know?"

"Easy?!" Zengeshu exploded. "Then why don't you come to my side and try to fly after this damn bird? Let's see if you will find it easy! You might have a powerful soul at the Divinity Realm, but your cultivation is almost the same as mine. Don't try to look tough!"

Rean got up and flew to Zangeshu's side. "Okay." Right after, he looked back at Kentucky. "Go twice as fast this time, Kentucky. I need to stretch my body a little."

Kentucky burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Alright, here we go!"
