I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 763  Body, Mind, And Soul

Currently, Jayna is doing a one-finger handstand on top of the round ball. She is covered in sweat and the temperature in her surroundings also slowly increases.

When Angus and Jayna’s minds join together last time, Angus is not the only one who benefits from the Phoenix’s fragmented memories. Jayna also received many body training methods and unique skills from Angus’ past life.

However, all of them are just memories. For Jayna, it is like a bunch of books stacked inside her mind. Although she couldn’t forget about this knowledge with the help of [Analyze], she still needs to sort them out and practice on her own to master these skills and training.

During her meditation last time, she found the need to have better control over her phoenix power. Hence, she tried to increase her mastery over her body.

With Angus’ knowledge and experience as reference, perfect body control is the most basic foundation when trying to control her phoenix power.

Though there is no such thing as Phoenix in Angus’ memories, she still feels this body control training is an excellent way to start mastering her phoenix power. She also noticed how difficult it was to do all this body control training during this training.

Yet, Angus was still able to do this training, like breathing. This makes Jayna feel how absurd Angus’ talent and his perfect body control are.

‘She is really working hard… I wonder how long she could keep this spirit.’ thought Angus before shooting a few pebbles at Jayna.

Noticing the incoming stones, Jayna immediately changed her hand while trying to dodge the rocks. Unfortunately, this sudden movement breaks her balance and makes her fall down. With a quick reaction, Jayna flipped over and landed safely on her feet.

“Urgh… This is harder than I thought. How can you do this perfectly?! And even dodge the pebbles while changing hands?” asked Jayna.

Angus scratched his head a little bit. Normally, he will say I am just talented, but he knows he may get retaliation tonight if he says that. Therefore, he could only explain to Jayna as best as he could.

A moment later, Angus did a one-finger handstand while talking to Jayna. He is not only using his forefinger but also other fingers, even his thumb and pinkie finger. All this while not moving his body at all.

“A true perfect body control is not just controlling the physical body but mind and soul. I will not talk about the complex concept of the soul for now. Still, If you only train your physical body, your mind will be too late to catch up with the situation and physical body.”

“In short, your body, mind, and soul must become one before you can truly learn to control them. What you did is just training your body while leaving your mind and soul aspect behind. The best way is to train these three aspects simultaneously.”

“When you can do it, your body, mind, and soul will integrate on your own. In fact, there is no real way to train these three aspects simultaneously.”

“The only way is to put your body, mind, and soul into training repeatedly,” explained Angus with a teaching tone.

While Jayna and Angus are having a serious training session, Anna is riding a miniature version of Porky, trying to catch Gemini, who is also riding their own small Porky around the training ground.

“Wait for Anna!!” called Anna happily.

The two young couples seem to ignore these three naughty girls and focus on their own training. However, it didn’t mean the other knights could just ignore these three naughty girls. Besides running around on top of small Porky, they also hit many of them or steal the training weapons.

Anna even waved the training weapon around carelessly and beat everyone. Although the training weapon is blunt, it is still made of hard iron. With Anna’s ridiculous physical strength, she could send some into the air like a batter making a home run easily. 𝒪𝚟𝑳xt.𝑪𝒐𝕞

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* To make it worse, the twin Gemini deliberately ran into the crowded area so Anna would send them flying.

“Y-Young Master, please stop them.” asked one of the knights after being beaten by Anna.

Being interrupted during his teaching and time with Jayna, Angus immediately coldly glared at these knights. For a moment, Angus opens and closes his mouth a few times as if trying to say something but decides not to say it.

Yet, Jayna could understand his feelings through their bond. Currently, Angus is cursing the knights to the seventh generation because of disturbing their time. Although it is unreasonable anger, she could also understand the source of this anger.

For Angus, what Anna did was a simple beating. He also notices Anna is controlling her power to not make a permanent injury and leave only bruises. Otherwise, these knights will turn into minced meat.

Anna’s current physical power is enough to turn any high-grade strong dwarf into pieces of meat. It could be seen how terrible her strength is. These knights complain to him because of their weakness in receiving Anna’s lowered beating.

Since the knights here are training, they should also expect and prepare for this harsh beating. Yet, they complain to him and disturb Angus.

Although they are not as strong as the dwarf race in physical strength, they could at least dodge or use other means to protect themselves. These knights are high-grade knights of the Victory family and make Angus completely disappoint them.

In a moment, Angus wants Anna to beat the knights harder to shape them better. However, he knew he couldn’t just rudely push them into the cliff like a lion cub.

His past experience makes him reluctant to force his subordinates to enter his training menu like in his past life. Even the explosion squad he trained last time only gets part of his real training menu.

“Ehem… Why don’t you all use this as a means of training? Just do your usual training set and avoid Anna and twin Gemini if they come into you.” replied Jayna to calm down Angus.

“T-That’s… Alright, we will do as the fourth princess said.” said the knight captain.

As high-grade combatants, they could clearly feel Angus’ sudden mood change and his intense glare. Moreover, this is also the first time they talk with this cold princess.

Although they are surprised that the princess is not as cold as her appearance, they also know their position to not disturb this young couple further. After this small incident, Angus and Jayna continue their training session.

Jayna feels she is making tremendous progress with Angus’ guidance in just a few hours. Now, she knows why Lily often seeks Angus for advice. When Angus put his mind to teaching, she could quickly learn the core point and just needed to practice more to master it.

In fact, Jayna often gets Angus’ guidance all these years. However, she never learned any complicated skills or body training like this. Angus’ teaching and advice could be understood in a few minutes.

Still, her current complex body training is different, especially about the body, mind, and soul. In fact, she also often heard of these three aspects during Angus’ previous guidance, but he never truly explained them.

After a thorough explanation, she finds what Angus usually does is absurd.

‘*Sigh* No wonder he could always dodge any attack, even from the seventh-grade Warchief Might. His perfect body control has already reached this terrifying level. I wonder if I could ever reach his height.’ thought Jayna inwardly.

“Don’t overthink about this. You just need to let it flow and continue practice. Who knows, you may reach my current level before you know it.”

“There is a saying that if you keep doing it repeatedly, you may reach another level beyond without even realizing it.” said Angus as if he noticed Jayna’s thought.

“Is that what happened to you?” asked Jayna.

“Not really. In my current case, I am just trying to grasp what I already achieved before. However, I did it like that when I broke to this new height before. My speed is so fast that it breaks the sound speed despite not using any chi.” explained Angus.

“Dodging a bullet is as simple as breathing. Though explosive hot weapons are still quite hard.” added Angus.

Jayna knows Angus is talking about his past life, especially his last battle before his death. For Jayna, Angus’ past world is really intriguing. Some parts are marvelous but more dangerous than spells and skills in this world.

A single bullet from a peasant could kill any nation leader and plunge the world into war. There is also this unprecedented atomic bomb that is incomparable to large-scale seventh-grade spells. A single bomb could turn the entire region or small kingdom into a wasteland.

“Angus… I am glad you are here. You are the best thing that ever happened to my life.” said Jayna gently with a smile.

For a moment, Angus is stunned by Jayna’s warm smile.

“Ehem… You better remember these points first. I may not be able to be back in the next few days to accompany your training.” said Angus, trying to change the topic.

“Sure. Thank you for your teaching, teacher.” said Jayna in a teasing tone.
