Chương 19: Healthy Lifestyle
Li Tian looked at his mother and asked, "Then, can I raise my own Demonic Beast pet?"
"Aww, Tian Er, sadly, you are still too young to raise your own Demonic Beast pet. You must first become a cultivator and normally, only when a cultivator reaches a notable stage in the Qi Gathering Realm, could they begin transferring Qi to the egg."
Li Xian wasn't sure if her baby boy could understand what she was saying, but what came afterwards surprised her.
"Then, when can I start cultivating?" Li Tian asked. He wanted to know when children in the Li Clan would begin cultivating. He knew normally children would start to cultivate at the age of twelve. However, knowing that the Li Clan was one of the major four clans, this meant that their body foundation was normally more developed than others.
"The children in the Li Clan normally begin after they are able to complete a physical fitness test that had been set by the clan founders since the founding days." Li Xian thought about it as she explained to Li Tian, who was the only one curious about it. "Typically, the children would pass at ages 9 to 10. Rarely, someone would pass the test before that."
"Why must we pass a physical fitness test before cultivating?" Li Tian asked another hard-hitting question.
"In order to cultivate, it is best for the child to have a strong foundation. If not, their body would not be able to take the strain of containing Qi in the body. With a strong foundation, you would not have to worry about having Qi deviation or your body collapsing on itself." Ming Guang Rong helped to answer his son. Everyday, he gets more and more surprised by his son's intellect.
'Shit, doesn't that mean that I should not be cultivating this early on? System, is my body facing any repercussions now?' Li Tian thought inwardly. He was now scared by his father's response.
[To address your inquiries, the answer is no, and no. Commencing cultivation at an early stage is perfectly acceptable. Your body system possesses a comparative robustness when compared to many young cultivators, owing to your inherent physique. Furthermore, your SSS Tier Intelligence trait enables flawless Qi assimilation within your body, ensuring a 0% chance of Qi Deviation.
Nevertheless, the consequences of early cultivation will only manifest if you neglect to further fortify your physique. Should you persist in your current lifestyle—namely, watching anime while reclining, watching anime while dining, watching anime while performing routine activities—there is a 99.9% likelihood of bodily deterioration when advancing to higher levels within your cultivation realm.]
'What. The. Heck? You're only telling me this now?' Li Tian got speechless. The system had just indirectly flamed him for having a sedentary lifestyle. If he had not asked about this and had continued to gather Qi, he could've accidentally ended his own life.
'Guess I won't be cultivating anymore.' Li Tian decided that he won't cultivate anymore. After all, he never really had any desire to be the strongest in the world. There was no need for him to be a powerful cultivator. All he needed was the internet and his anime. That was all.
Ding…
[You've triggered the hidden mission 'Healthy Lifestyle'.]
[Hidden Mission: Healthy Lifestyle]
Upon evaluating your less-than-optimal lifestyle choices, the system finds itself compelled to intervene. To avert your descent into complete stagnation, the system has devised a comprehensive health regimen that must be diligently adhered to. Much like the protagonist in your former world's anime, 'Zero Punch Woman,' you will be tasked with completing this prescribed set of exercises.
Push ups: 0/100 (Must be completed within one session)
Sit ups: 0/100 (Must be completed within one session)
Run: 0/10 km (Must be completed within one session)
Reward: Nil.
Failure: Deletion of current world's Anime from memory
Deadline: Three months (Time left: 90 Days)
'What the ****!!!!! This is unfair! Is this even my own life anymore??' Li Tian sighed in dejection. It seemed that everytime he wanted to do something, the system would prevent him from doing it. 'System, do you hate me?'
[Responding to the host, no, the system's primary objective is to assist you in upholding your health and overall well-being. Every action undertaken by the system serves a specific purpose.]
Li Tian shrugged off the system's response. It was true that health was important. If he was fitter in the past, maybe he could've dodge truck-kun and not get isekai'd by it. 'I guess it's time for me to get training. I can't let my beloved anime collection get deleted!'
In the following three months, a strange sight could be seen in the Li Clan. A little boy who had turned one recently could be seen running laps around the training field. The soldiers training on the field were frozen in place, shocked by the terrifying little devil. What were they doing when they were one years old?
"I heard that recently, young master Li has been sighted running on the running track. Is that true?"
"Yes… Last week was my platoon's turn to train in the morning. Young master Li ran some of laps with us. The most shocking part was that he seemed to have improved a significant amount since he started two months ago. It seemed that he can already run 10 kilometres without stopping."
"You're kidding right? How can a one year old baby run for that long of a distance! When you were one, could you even walk properly?"
"Of course not! However, we're not talking about me here! We're talking about the newest genius of our clan, young master Li Tian! I heard recently the Patriarch had hired teachers to teach the little boy in different subject areas. You wouldn't believe what the helpers cleaning the room that day overheard!"
"What?"
"Young master Li Tian was able to memorise anything thrown at him. Subjects ranging from Geography, History, Science, Literature, Mathematics. They were all easily picked up by that little baby!"
"There's no way this is true!"
"Alright maggots! Enough gossiping! If you have the time to talk about our clan's young master, it means that you have the energy to run another 100 kilometres correct?!"
"Ye…Yes sir!" With the platoon sergeant's scolding the group of soldier gossiping by the side were sent off to run. The platoon sergeant turned to around and jogged back towards a well-built man that was amid growing out a beard. He had eyes filled with vitality. His face held a smile, proud of what he had just heard. The platoon sergeant quickly bowed, apologizing.
"Reporting to Platoon Commander! I apologize on behalf of those young grunts! I shall take on whatever punishment you deem fitting of me!"
"Ah, at ease platoon sergeant, there's no need to do such a thing. Besides, what those soldiers said about my son was not inaccurate in any way. He truly is a demon in every aspect." The platoon commander was none other than Ming Guang Rong. Although he was already a peak stage Core Formation realm martial cultivator, Ming Guang Rong preferred to work in the lower ranks than promoting to Commanding Officer of the Li Clan Guards Formation. He went along and asked his subordinate about his life, "Theres no need to stand around in ceremony. How's your son been? I heard he recently turned five."
"Reporting to Platoon Commander, my son is still as loud and whiny as ever. He is miles behind young master Li Tian in every aspect. If only he had at least one percent of young master Li Tian's intellect."
"Hahahaha! There's no need to beat your son up like that. I'm sure he would achieve great things in life in the future. Besides, my twins seem to be the same age as your boy. Both are also getting louder and naughtier as they grow older." Ming Guang Rong laughed as he thought about the playful twins in his household.
Unlike the quiet and well-behaved Li Tian, Li Xi and Li Mei were always up to no good. They had recently started schooling in the Li Clan's private school that was only for the children and worker's children in the Li Clan. Many days after work, Ming Guang Rong would pick them up and there, the teachers would complain about how the twins had been up to no good as they bullied the children in their age range.
When they got home, Li Xian would give the twins love taps and send them off to kneel in front of the Patriarch's home. Only when Li Kui took pity in the twins would the old man send the two back to their family.
With Li Tian's daily training to meet the deadline of the mission, the one-year-old's physique had been growing rapidly. He now looked more like a three-year-old and had more defined muscles. Though, his chubby red cheeks were still present. Many times, when Ming Guang Rong came home, he would get a shock when he saw Li Tian's height change. Li Xian had to also purchase bigger sets of clothes for her big baby.
