When they returned to the temple, night had already fallen. Huanhai did not let Meng Xiang rest. When everyone in the temple went back to the inner hall to eat and rest, she and Meng Xiang came to the outer courtyard.
Meng Xiang's physical and spiritual strength were almost exhausted at this time. Every step he took was very difficult. He gasped and asked Huan Hai: "Master, I have no strength left. Can I rest for a while, eat dinner, and then practice?"
Huan Hai's cold eyes shot at Meng Xiang like lightning, and he snorted with a hint of disdain, "Didn't you say you wanted to become stronger? Can't you bear it anymore?"
"No, please continue to guide me, Master." Meng Xiang didn't dare to say anything more. As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces excellent students. He already knew Huanhai's strictness very well when reading the comics, but the first training that was about to come made Meng Xiang feel chilled.
"Hang upside down, support your palms on the nails, and use your spiritual energy to protect your palms. Do this for 1 hour."
Meng Xiang looked at the rock embedded in the ground, which was nearly 10 centimeters protruding and reflecting a cold light under the moonlight. Meng Xiang trembled and said, "This... How is this possible? It will kill people."
Huan Hai nodded, squinted his eyes and said proudly: "That's right, if you use up all your spiritual power to protect your palm, you will die, but if you leave some energy, your palm will be pierced, will you go or not?"
"Isn't this too dangerous?" Meng Xiang felt a chill in his heart, and the tragic scene of his palm being pierced by an iron nail appeared in his mind.
"Hmph, this kind of training is meaningful. To become stronger, you must be determined to die. Spiritual power, or aura, is a person's vitality. As long as a person is alive, his aura will not disappear. The way to quickly increase aura is to discover and concentrate the aura hidden in the body under extreme conditions. If your daytime training can increase your body by 100 units of aura, then 50 of this 100 units of aura will be lost before tomorrow. The lost aura is hidden in the body again and gradually weakened because of the incoordination with the body. This is called weakening of aura. However, through training under extreme conditions, you will be able to use all the aura you have cultivated for yourself tomorrow. If you don't want to waste today's hard training, just do as I say. If you are afraid of death, forget it."
Only by practicing under extreme conditions can the potential of the body be discovered. In the real world, athletes or special forces also have similar training courses, but they are carried out under the premise of taking sufficient safety measures. In order to exercise the potential lock, Meng Xiang also practiced similarly in the main god space, but he would not die in the main god space. This subconsciousness led to a significant reduction in the effectiveness of this practice in the main god space. But if one really puts one's life on the line, then this kind of practice is truly a practice of the human body's limit.
Meng Xiang bet everything on this training. In order to become stronger, he was willing to do anything. He gritted his teeth, pressed his right hand on the iron nail, and then concentrated his spiritual energy on his right palm. He let the spiritual energy wave evenly cover his palm as he practiced during the day, and actually supported his whole body steadily on the iron nail. He was happy in his heart, and his mind was slightly distracted, and he felt a stinging pain in his palm. Huanhai immediately shouted: "Don't be distracted, you must concentrate your spiritual energy at all times."
Meng Xiang didn't dare to act rashly. He concentrated all his attention on extracting the little remaining spiritual energy from his body. He fell off the iron nails several times. Although his palm was not pierced, the skin on the palm was pierced and blood was flowing. However, he was blasted back by Huanhai every time.
This hour was too slow for Meng Xiang. After barely making it through, Meng Xiang felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing, as if he was about to suffocate at any moment. At this time, Huanhai came over and put his hand on his chest. Meng Xiang felt a warm current slowly coming along Huanhai's skinny palm, warming his whole body. The dizziness disappeared immediately, and the spiritual energy hidden somewhere in his body responded to this warm current and was ready to move.
After a long time, Huan Hai stood up and said indifferently to Meng Xiang who was lying on the ground: "Get up and continue the next practice."
Meng Xiang hurriedly got up and looked at his hands in surprise. His body, which had reached its limit, had not only recovered 10% to 20% of its spiritual energy, but also its physical strength. Huanhai said calmly, "The spiritual light wave fist can resonate with the potential spiritual energy in the practitioner's body through the spiritual light wave, but it is limited to the deepest spiritual power. If you don't practice with all your strength today, this move of mine will have no effect on you. At this moment, you have been thrown down the mountain to feed the wolves."
Meng Xiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect Huanhai had this skill. Fortunately, he didn't slack off, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Huanhai continued, "But since you have tried your best, you have also gained a good harvest. The mountains in this area are full of spiritual energy, and practicing here will achieve twice the result with half the effort. The spiritual energy you feel recovering in your body now is the spiritual power you have gained today. Although the spiritual energy will increase more slowly as time goes by, it is still possible to increase it by 4 or 5 times in a month."
The growth of spiritual energy by 4 or 5 times is almost equivalent to the exchange of intermediate spiritual energy. Meng Xiang was overjoyed and could not help but thank him repeatedly. Huan Hai raised his hand and said, "Don't thank me so quickly. The spiritual energy has increased, but can your body bear it? The spiritual energy and the body are cultivated together, and how to combine the spiritual energy and the body to attack with the strongest spiritual attack force, all of this is in your training course today. Well, stop talking nonsense here. Today's training is relatively easy. This kind of extreme training must be carried out every day after training. In addition to supporting the iron nails, there are also burning the body, burying alive, etc. You look forward to it."
Meng Xiang felt chilled when he heard this, with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. However, now that he had tasted the sweetness, he became more determined to become stronger. At this moment, outside the temple, a ragged young man dragged his tired body and slowly walked in.
"Uragami Yusuke?" Meng Xiang blurted out.
"Do you know this brat?"
"No, I just heard rumors about him."
The young man was none other than Urameshi Yusuke. He seemed to be struggling as he dragged his feet over and shouted, "Old woman, is today's training so easy? Are you too old to keep up with my pace, so you need to take a day off?"
A wave of spiritual power spurted out from Huanhai's eyes and hit Yusuke heavily. Yusuke took two steps back, patted his chest and said, "Old woman, you are really old. Don't use your eyesight. Come on, do it for real."
Huan Hai ignored him, turned to look at Meng Xiang and said: "Every night after training, you have to fight with Urameshi Yusuke. It doesn't matter if you die. You can't have dinner until one of you falls to the ground, faints or dies." She walked straight into the house, but after a few steps, she turned to Meng Xiang and said: "By the way, it's best not to use your crazy state, so that the training effect will be better."
"Haha, you are my junior fellow apprentice, right? What's your name and why do you know me?" Yusuke clenched his fists, looking impatient.
"My name is Meng Xiang. I've heard rumors about you. Now I'm here to confirm if your fist is really that strong." Meng Xiang knew that the current plot had developed to the eve of the Dark Martial Arts Conference, and Urameshi Yusuke's strength was already terrifying, but Yusuke's fatigue at this time showed that he had also undergone extreme training. Now both his physical and spiritual strength were almost exhausted, so he was not worried, but rather a little excited.
"Interesting. As a disciple of the Reiguang Hadoken, you must train your body to be as hard as steel and able to withstand heavy blows. This is a compulsory course. Now just wait for me, your senior brother, to train you..." Yusuke had just finished speaking when his fist came over, and the wind from the fist made it difficult for Meng Xiang to breathe.
Since Meng Xiang entered the reincarnation world, he has not had much experience in fighting. Even after activating his potential lock, he still fought on instinct. But in the real world, when he was still an ordinary person, his fighting experience was not necessarily less than Yusuke's. He was not in a hurry. He took a stance, and according to Huanhai's words, he suppressed the activation of his potential lock and started to wrestle with Yusuke.
…
As time went by, Meng Xiang spent every day in hard training, trying his best to become stronger. Every night, he practiced to the extreme under the guidance of Huan Hai, and almost died several times, and was beaten all over by Urameshi Yusuke. The strange thing was that even though the injuries did not reach his internal organs, every morning he was refreshed, without any pain in his body, and even his injuries were almost healed. Yusuke explained that it was because of the delicious food in the temple, but Meng Xiang realized that the abundant spiritual energy around the temple might be the reason why his body recovered so quickly.
The time limit for entering the plot world has come. After a month of hard training, Meng Xiang doesn't know how much his strength has increased, but the amount of spiritual energy has increased by at least 5 times, and extreme training is also very beneficial for the training of the potential lock. Under the guidance of Huanhai, he has completely controlled the spiritual energy in his body. In the strength test, even without opening the potential lock, he can easily score 200 points.
More importantly, through the practice of spirit wave, he mastered several special moves of spirit wave fist, and was inspired by a certain comic character to create an extremely destructive move.
"Master, Yusuke, I'm leaving." After spending a month here with Huanhai and Yusuke, Meng Xiang was very grateful for their help. He couldn't help feeling sad as he was about to part with them and might never see them again.
"Boy, you still have a long way to go. Practice well and then we'll have another fight." Yusuke had just been beaten up by Genkai and his head and face were swollen, but he still spoke so arrogantly.
"Okay, it's settled." Meng Xiang raised his fist and lightly bumped it against Yusuke's iron fist.
Huanhai still said indifferently with an expressionless face: "Boy, this month's training is too easy. If you encounter a bottleneck one day, practice for another two months. Then I will let you experience what the real hell training is like."
Huanhai's words made Meng Xiang feel uneasy. He bowed respectfully, thanked Huanhai, and then strode out of the temple.
"Two months means 6,000 points. Maybe I will come here to practice again someday. I wonder how much my strength is inferior to that of Ding Jie and Zhang Jin..." Meng Xiang muttered as he walked, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred...
