章 56: Major Progress
As the afternoon approached, the sun was high in the sky, and the air grew increasingly hot.
Chen Xuan returned to his residence, and without a word, he took Chen Yiyi to the backyard to start the day's training.
The routine was the same as usual: physical training and lightning tempering of the body.
Chen Yiyi felt like she was suffering terribly, her entire body aching every time. No matter how much she begged, pleaded, or spoke kindly, her older brother, like a demon, would not relent.
The pain and joy coexisted, and the results were evident. Her cells were exceptionally active, her energy levels were high, and her strength had increased significantly.
Chen Xuan took his sister out of the yard and to a nearby small forest.
He brought out a soul tool similar to a stopwatch, intending to measure Yiyi's progress over the past three days and check her speed.
With a whoosh, Chen Yiyi ran out, and the surrounding wind rustled, causing the weeds by the roadside to sway.
"Eleven seconds for a hundred meters?" Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised.
For an ordinary person, this might not be remarkable, but Chen Yiyi wasn't even a Soul Master yet, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
Moreover, she had been malnourished and weak since childhood, and had only recently started to supplement her nutrition and train.
Three days ago, Chen Xuan had timed her for the same distance, and it took her sixteen seconds. Now she had reduced it by five seconds, which was an impressive improvement.
Chen Yiyi was very happy when she saw the results. Her small face was beaming with joy; the hardships of the past three days had not been in vain.
"Brother, am I amazing or what?" She said proudly, running over quickly, lifting her snow-white neck, signaling Chen Xuan to praise her.
Chen Yiyi was extremely pleased, realizing that she too could become strong. Her eyes were no longer dim but filled with the brightness of the sun because she could finally catch up to her mother's footsteps.
In the past, she never dared to dream of this, only hoping to escape from the hellish environment of her uncle's house.
Chen Xuan patted her on the head, also happy for her.
"Keep it up, aim to achieve the goal I set for you within half a month." Time was short, and he hoped Yiyi could reach the thousand-year limit within a month.
As soon as she heard about more training, Chen Yiyi's round little face fell immediately, losing all its smile and looking desolate.
During this time, Chen Xuan had not been idle; he was either perfecting Chidori or developing lightning-based ninjutsu.
Due to his daily interaction with lightning, he noticed a significant change in his body. Compared to when he first arrived, his strength and speed had increased considerably.
He remembered that in Naruto, Sasuke, after training Chidori with Kakashi for a month, had a speed comparable to that of Lee Rock at the time.
Of course, talent played a role during this period.
Chen Xuan took a fruit and a herb, not believing his current talent was so poor, and wanted to see just how strong he had become.
He focused on a large tree ahead, with branches so dense that it required both arms to embrace it.
The tree was quite large, about fifty to sixty meters tall and weighed at least six to seven hundred pounds.
The trunk was thick and hard to grip, but Chen Xuan managed to hold it firmly and then heaved it up with great force. With a crack, the tree was uprooted and lifted off the ground.
He threw it with force; the tree, about forty to fifty meters long, fell to the ground with a loud bang, sending dust flying and causing a slight tremor.
Chen Xuan was momentarily stunned. To be able to uproot such a large tree without using his martial soul was impressive.
Now, his arm strength was comparable to that of a Soul Master with a martial soul.
Of course, he had used chakra during this process to achieve such an abnormal effect.
"Wow! Brother, you're amazing! You uprooted a whole tree!" Chen Yiyi exclaimed, clapping her hands and cheering from the side.
Chen Xuan did not stop and continued to test his speed.
He took out the timing soul tool and went to a straight dirt path to measure his speed.
With a swoosh, Chen Xuan dashed out and immediately felt the wind whistling by, with the trees on either side retreating rapidly.
"Six seconds?" Chen Xuan was astonished when he saw the result.
For a hundred meters, it only took six seconds, and this was without using his martial soul; the speed was astonishing.
He remained dazed for a long time.
Chen Yiyi was also astonished, staring blankly and taking a long time to recover.
Her current achievements seemed to pale in comparison to her brother's.
Chen Xuan estimated that his current speed was not much different from that of a speed-type Soul Master with a martial soul.
However, it was unfortunate that his martial soul was a space-type, which did not enhance the body in any way whether it was activated or not.
Normally, Soul Masters did not focus on physical enhancement; they improved their soul power, which in turn significantly boosted their speed, strength, hearing, vision, and various bodily functions.
Doing what Chen Xuan was doing was considered putting the cart before the horse and could be ranked among the top ten foolish actions on the continent.
Sometimes, he felt helpless, as his martial soul did not even provide a single soul skill, lacking any offensive capabilities, so he had to develop them himself.
Chen Xuan often wondered if his martial soul was really a top-tier one. Right now, it seemed more like a normal martial soul rather than a high-level one.
"Even if it's a top-tier auxiliary martial soul, it shouldn't be like this, right?" He complained, feeling quite frustrated, thinking that the system might be deceiving him.
Chen Xuan summoned his martial soul, which appeared as a pitch-black sphere, bottomless, and unable to penetrate under the light, as if it could swallow the sunlight. Everything was unknown, shrouded in mist.
Unfortunately, an iron chain was wrapped around it, and the martial soul was firmly locked. This was an anomaly that appeared after its evolution.
Whether it was good or bad, and what secrets it held, would be revealed once his cultivation level was high enough to break that chain.
Chen Xuan estimated that he originally needed to reach Soul Sage, but now the required soul ring age had increased to thirty-two thousand years, and the gap between them had reduced.
For the next five days, Chen Xuan stayed home, silently training and increasing his strength, engaging in various physical and reaction training from early morning to late evening.
Lightning was indeed effective, stimulating cells, clearing meridians, and making his vitality extremely active.
Time passed quickly, and almost ten days had gone by.
During these days, Chen Xuan had not left the Heaven Dou Academy, as he wasn't scheduled to participate. He made occasional trips to Shrek Academy to check on Xiao Wu's condition.
Finally, on this day, Chen Yiyi achieved the expected results even faster than anticipated.
Her strength, speed, hearing, vision, and reflexes had all seen tremendous breakthroughs, comparable to the level of a great Soul Master, not at all like a little girl without a martial soul.
Chen Yiyi's physique had also improved significantly. Her hundred-meter sprint had reached six seconds, and she could now lift several hundred pounds of rocks.
"Yiyi, you can stop now. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Star Dou Forest to obtain a soul ring," Chen Xuan said.
That day, he visited Shrek Academy and found Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong there.
From what he learned, Zhu Zhuqing had only participated in one match in the past half month, spending the rest of the time sitting on the sidelines without any opportunity to compete.
Chen Xuan sighed inwardly. The problem essentially stemmed from him, and he bore a significant responsibility for it.
So, he came with a sense of guilt, intending to make amends.
In fact, Chen Xuan had long wanted to do this, but he hadn't had the time before, as he was focused on teaching Chen Yiyi.
"Zhuqing, can you help me with something?" Chen Xuan approached Zhu Zhuqing with a sincere request.
He explained his purpose: he would be going to the Star Dou Forest the next day to help his younger sister obtain a soul ring and needed some assistance.
Chen Xuan's request was extremely sincere, hoping Zhu Zhuqing could help him, with a promise of generous compensation afterward.
"I might be unavailable. You should find someone else," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
