Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 33 Shrek-Style Training

Once training began, Ye Qing understood why Mu En wanted him to relax for a while.

While mental strength cannot be said to be the embodiment of a Soul Master's will, it is still linked to will.

A Soul Master with strong mental strength may not necessarily have high willpower, but a Soul Master with strong willpower will certainly not have low mental strength.

One can enhance mental strength by tempering one's will. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring and resisting the soul shock of a soul beast also requires a tenacious spirit and an indomitable will.

And so, Ye Qing's torturous journey began.

Only by enduring the bitterest hardships can one become an outstanding person.

The more hardship you can endure, the more you become a beast of burden.

This statement is perfectly embodied in Ye Qing.

At first, Mu En simply had Ye Feng use his soul power to pressure Ye Qing every day, so that he would train, eat, and meditate under the pressure of soul power all day long.

It felt like there was a homo watching you from behind every second, sending chills down your spine and making your hair stand on end.

After Ye Qing adapted to the pressure of the soul power, Mu En began to increase the intensity of his training. The first thing he did was improve his endurance, or to put it more bluntly, he had Ye Feng use his dark attribute soul power to form whips that lashed at him.

Moreover, Ye Qing had to heal the injuries inflicted by the whip himself using the Wings of Light.

This process becomes increasingly difficult to endure as it progresses.

Because Ye Qing not only had to endure the almost numb pain all over his body, but also had to squeeze out every bit of his soul power so that the healing effect could work better on him.

This training reminded Ye Qing of when Yao Chen in the neighboring novel "Battle Through the Heavens" had Xiao Yan learn the Eight Extremes Collapse, also using whipping to improve his physical strength and willpower.

Xiao Yan has Foundation Establishment Elixir, and Ye Qing naturally has a medicinal bath made from a mixture of various spiritual herbs.

And when his mental strength was exhausted to the limit, Mu En used various treasures on him to enhance his mental strength. These treasures were undoubtedly taken from the pockets of those elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

Compared to the pressure of soul power, this method actually provides a greater boost to Ye Qing.

My cultivation of soul power is indeed not as fast as before. After all, I don't have as much time to spend on cultivation. Every day, I'm exhausted and have to take a medicinal bath to recover. I simply can't meditate.

However, Ye Qing's mental strength and physical strength improved rapidly.

Moon had his reasons for doing this.

Ye Qing reached level 25 at less than eight years old. This cultivation speed has surpassed 99.99% of Soul Masters. Simply cultivating Soul Power quickly is not as effective.

How much water a wooden bucket can hold depends entirely on the shortest stave.

Furthermore, once Ye Qing reaches the Soul Venerable level, his extreme attributes will significantly reduce his cultivation speed. By increasing his mental strength and meridian strength now, his efficiency will be even higher when he reaches the process of compressing soul power.

With the Golden Tree and medicinal baths available, Ye Qing's cultivation speed won't be too slow, so it's better to let him focus on completing his current training plan first.

Ye Qing's cultivation speed was indeed not slow at all.

Even though he didn't have much time to meditate and cultivate each day, and even though he had three burdens—Wings of Light, Light Breaker, and Light Elf—that slowed down his cultivation speed, Ye Qing was still able to break through one level in four or five months.

He was still able to reach the Soul Venerable level around the age of ten.

At the age of twelve, entering Shrek Academy's outer court and reaching the Soul Master level already makes one a genius Soul Master among ten thousand. Ye Qing even became a Soul Master two years earlier. Such a cultivation speed would be considered explosive even in Huo Yuhao's generation.

Of course, this training couldn't continue until he broke through to the Soul Master level.

Striking training is only most effective in the first few months; it will only get worse afterward, and you will need to switch to other training methods.

Since it was said before that the more hardship one endures, the more capable one becomes, Ye Qing's training was naturally not that simple.

The third training exercise after the impact resistance training is high-altitude fall and deep-water pressure resistance.

Falling from a great height prevents him from using the Wings of Light, while resisting pressure in deep water prevents him from surfacing until his soul power is exhausted.

For Ye Qing, who had a slight fear of heights in his previous life, falling from a great height was the ultimate torture. The feeling of weightlessness during the continuous fall, especially the process of falling from thousands of meters to hundreds of meters, made him feel like he had walked through the gates of hell with each fall.

This process of overcoming fear actually improved Ye Qing's mental strength two or three times more than the training in resisting blows.

Ye Feng tossed Ye Qing from the sky to the ground dozens of times, effectively curing his fear of heights.

Only after Ye Qing could wait expressionlessly for Ye Feng to catch him, and the high-altitude fall training had no effect, did they proceed to the next stage of deep-water pressure resistance training.

The deepest part of Poseidon Lake is over two hundred meters deep. Every day, Ye Qing had to rely on the internal circulation of his soul power to stay at the bottom of the lake for an entire day. The feeling of being squeezed by the lake water from all sides was not much better than falling from a great height.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

At a depth of 200 meters, the light can barely penetrate the lake.

Ye Qing not only had to bear the constant pressure, but also had to endure the loneliness of being isolated from the world at the bottom of a pitch-black lake.

The deep-water pressure resistance training also greatly enhanced Ye Qing's control over his soul power. After all, in order to prevent himself from suffocating and to stay in the water for longer, he needed to have excellent control over his soul power.

After this training was completed, Ye Qing could clearly feel that his mental strength had greatly improved.

of course.

I just don't know if this improvement in mental strength is a result of training or those rare and precious herbs.

Or perhaps both.

In any case, it is a fact that his mental strength has been greatly improved. In just half a year, Ye Qing felt that his mental strength had at least doubled, and his physical strength and the resilience of his meridians had also been greatly improved compared to before.

At this time, he had only recently broken through to level 26, and there was still a considerable distance to go before reaching level 27.

On the other side, Bei Bei, who had been eagerly trying to catch up with Ye Qing, finally broke through to level 20.

Ever since Ye Qing started cultivating his martial soul and surpassed him by several levels at once, and after breaking through to the Great Soul Master level, he directly surpassed him by seven levels, Bei Bei, who was unwilling to admit defeat, began to catch up frantically.

This kid didn't even go out to play with Zhang Lexuan anymore. Every time Zhang Lexuan came back from school in the outer courtyard, all she saw was Bei Bei's small figure diligently cultivating.

And that sentence...

"I absolutely have to catch up with that brat Ye Qing! Aa ...

Because he devoted more time to cultivation, and because of his unwillingness to admit defeat to Ye Qing, Bei Bei's second soul ring actually absorbed a thousand-year-level one.
