Chapter 461: Chapter 40: Two God-Tier Plants_3

But he was just telling the truth.

After all, on their first day in the arena, Lin Yu had wanted to test his strength, so he gave Dong Lin a light tap.

The blow immediately put Dong Lin into a near-death state, activating the arena’s protection protocols.

Thank goodness for the arena’s protective protocols, or Lin Yu would have lost one of his best generals.

Now, after a few days of sparring, Lin Yu could last for over an hour against Dong Lin.

This increase in duration didn’t mean Lin Yu had gotten weaker; rather, it meant he could better control his attributes.

At least he wasn’t leaving afterimages behind just by walking anymore.

"Dong Lin, you’ve really worked hard these past few days!"

"It is my duty!"

It was worth noting that after Lin Yu grew stronger, Dong Lin—who had become rather arrogant and unruly after his promotion as the territory’s only Epic Hero—was now completely docile.

"Don’t be so modest. Without your help, it would’ve taken me a lot more effort to get my attributes under control."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "I was actually thinking we’d stop after today’s session."

"But since you put it that way, let’s go for a few more days!"

Dong Lin: "Wait, wait—hold on!"

"My Lord, your control over your strength is pretty good now. I think you should start training your speed."

"There are no battles at the moment, and Shadow doesn’t have much to do. You should have him train with you. He’s fast."

"I actually need to get back to the academy and check on my students to see if they’re slacking off."

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Dong Lin immediately scrambled up from the ground.

Lin Yu: "That works. Shadow is the fastest hero in our territory, so it’s not a bad idea to have him help me train my speed."

"Fine, I’ll let you off the hook. Go tell Shadow that I’ll be waiting for him here tomorrow."

...

The next day, Lin Yu met Shadow inside the arena.

After a brief demonstration of his own speed, Shadow’s competitive spirit was roused, and the two launched into a fierce contest of speed in the arena.

A gale swept through the entire arena, which was filled with the two fighters’ constantly shifting figures.

As he competed with Shadow, Lin Yu continuously adjusted his strength, learning to adapt and control his output. ℯℯ𝑙.

The day of intense competition was over in a flash.

Shadow was completely out of breath from exhaustion. Lin Yu, on the other hand, felt nothing physically, though he was mentally fatigued.

It was mentally taxing to force himself to use the absolute minimum amount of power for tasks that, just a few days prior, would have required his full strength.

"Today went great! I feel like my control has improved even more!"

"Let’s add skill control to the training tomorrow!"

Lin Yu said, feeling refreshed and invigorated as he patted his old buddy.

"Oof! Master, your strength is no joke now!"

Shadow rubbed his shoulder. Feeling a pang of pain that was rare for a Legendary Hero, he was finally starting to understand why Dong Lin had made him the training partner, while Dong Lin himself had eagerly rushed back to the academy to teach his students.

"That’s exactly why I need you guys to help me practice my control. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll kill someone with a careless tap."

"You’re right. Master, your attributes increased so drastically, and without any transition period, it’s naturally going to be difficult to control."

"Thankfully, you’re progressing at a divine speed, Master. It shouldn’t be long before you can get back to living normally."
