Chapter 30 — Xue Qinghe's Regret.
At this moment, Ning Chen was completely naked with his private part being exposed.
Ning Chen quickly covered his important private part and looked awkwardly toward Xue Qinghe.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my clothes to be suddenly destroyed."
Xue Qinghe quickly turned around to look away with his face slightly having a reddish hue.
"Ye indecent fool! Hurry up and quickly cover yourself," He shouted hastily.
Ning Chen stared at Xue Qinghe for a moment and thought he was reacting quite strangely.
"Haha, you don't need to be shy. We're after all both boys and it's not like you're a girl."
"What? Just shut your mouth and dress up," Xue Qinghe responded irritatedly and hugged both of his arms.
He had briefly saw something very large earlier that caused him to have a panic attack.
It was his first time seeing 'it'.
"Okay, okay," Ning Chen shrugged his shoulder and then took a new pair of clothing from his spatial storage.
"Do you also want a change? I'm sure your clothes are currently dirty and sweaty," Ning Chen asked after successfully wearing his new clothes.
Xue Qinghe finally turned to look at Ning Chen's direction.
"I will change later," He shook his head while showing his golden spatial ring.
Ning Chen's eyes lit up seeing that and also raised his finger, revealing his golden coiling dragon spatial ring.
"Oh look, we have the same rings. It's like the couple rings my Mom and Dad are wearing," He laughed as he said that.
"What—?" Xue Qinghe's grew flustered hearing that and quickly hide his own ring. His ears were slightly red.
That damn Ning Chen was quite smooth.
"Going back to our previous topic, do you want to train with me?" Ning Chen asked curiously.
Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment and remembered the way Ning Chen had fought earlier.
His combat abilities were exceptionally good and used some strange footwork and moves which he didn't know.
Thinking that there were only good benefits to Ning Chen's offer and with them being friends too, Xue Qinghe came into his decision.
"I'll train with you."
"Good, then let's start now," Ning Chen was happy to hear Xue Qinghe accepting his offer.
He now had a new friend and also a perfect sparring partner.
Xue Qinghe was startled and quickly said, "But we have just recently sparred..."
"So? Do you want to or not?" Ning Chen asked while looking straightly at Xue Qinghe's eyes.
Xue Qinghe felt Ning Chen was looking at him mockingly and ridiculing him that his resolve wasn't enough.
At those thoughts, he grew slightly angry and then sigh helplessly.
"I guess, I do want to train..."
"Perfect!" Ning Chen grinned wickedly.
And so, the two of them began to train together.
Xue Qinghe was also staying for a long time so they have plenty of time to train.
....
In the training ground, Ning Chen was currently standing sternly in front of Xue Qinghe.
"My friend, despite you having incredible abilities in your arsenal, you're not using it to it's full potential."
"How so?" Xue Qinghe raised his eyebrows as he asked in puzzlement.
"For example, your first spirit ring's ability. Using it to create big energy balls is good, but there are still many ways you can use it."
Xue Qinghe was very eager to hear Ning Chen's next words.
"You can use it to make several smaller version of the energy balls and then make it all spin, making it more versatile and have strong penetrating ability alongside it's explosive power."
Xue Qinghe thought those ideas sounded good, but he felt it was impossible.
"It's impossible for me to do all of those," He shook his head.
"Impossible? Have you even tried doing it?" Ning Chen asked while smirking.
"I'll show you," Xue Qinghe said as a yellow spirit ring appeared behind him.
He was able to make two smaller version of the energy ball, but he couldn't increase it's number or make it spin.
Ning Chen, however, was able to quickly notice Xue Qinghe's problem.
"The reason you can't do it is simple. It's because your spirit power control sucks."
Xue Qinghe was surprised and was stabbed in the heart.
"Let me show you what you can do by having a precise control over your spirit power," Ning Chen said and took out some stones from his spatial ring.
He then lightly threw it toward the sky and under Xue Qinghe's curious gaze, the stones suddenly shattered into pieces.
The stones shattered without Ning Chen even touching it nor using any of his spirit ring's abilities.
He had only used his pure spirit power.
Xue Qinghe was shocked and looked toward Ning Chen in astonishment.
Ning Chen smiled proudly seeing his expression and explained.
"By only using my delicate spirit power control, I was able destroy those stones without even lifting a finger."
Xue Qinghe nodded and asked curiously, "Is there more to this?"
"Yes. It makes your energy consumption lesser and use your spirit ring's abilities better."
"I see..." Xue Qinghe nodded in understanding.
Lessening the energy consumption was very essential for Xue Qinghe because all of his spirit ring's abilities drained him fast.
Ning Chen then proceeded to test Xue Qinghe's close-combat capabilities.
And Ning Chen was able to learn one vital thing about Xue Qinghe.
"Dude, your foundation is quite trashy," Ning Chen looked toward Xue Qinghe silently.
Xue Qinghe's foundation was pretty good, but it was trash in his eyes.
He felt that although Xue Qinghe was very talented, he seemed to rush things, causing his foundation to be good, but also unstable.
"You!" Xue Qinghe was offended, but couldn't refute Ning Chen.
After Ning Chen pointed out many things about him, Xue Qinghe was able to understand himself deeper.
He realized that he was lacking in many areas.
Xue Qinghe could only pout angrily and stare menacingly toward Ning Chen in the end.
Ning Chen sighed quietly and wondered why this man acted quite cutely despite being a guy.
"However, don't worry too much. This little brother of yours will help you correct your trashy foundation. Just leave it to me," Ning Chen gave a flashy grin.
Xue Qinghe nodded his head since he now understand that Ning Chen would truly able to help him.
And he would do anything just to grow stronger and prove himself to the person he hated the most.
"So, what will we do first?" Xue Qinghe asked.
Ning Chen rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment.
"First of all, let's build your body and learn martial arts. Although your body is quite strong, it's not trained properly and learning martial arts will allow you to fight efficiently and win against people stronger against you."
"It's also a way for you to not completely rely on just overwhelming your opponent and using spirit ring's ability."
Xue Qinghe nodded eagerly and was inwardly excited to start his training.
Ning Chen took out some weights from his spatial ring and gave it toward Xue Qinghe.
"Wear this starting today and also don't use any spirit power or otherwise this training will be pointless," Ning Chen instructed.
"You're crazy..." Xue Qinghe looked reluctantly toward the large and heavy black hand cuffs and fetter on Ning Chen's hand.
Only people who were masochist would wear those things.
He then gritted his and started to wear the weights.
Xue Qinghe was a person who was prideful and had extreme perseverance after all.
He wore the handcuff and fetter that didn't have any chains on both of his hands and ankles.
Xue Qinghe immediately felt his body growing heavier.
Ning Chen then said that they were gonna do some taxing physical training by running for a long period of time and then having close-combat spar.
"What weights are you currently wearing?" Xue Qinghe asked before they started.
"Obviously, weights that are many times heavier than yours," Ning Chen grinned while saying that.
"You're truly crazy..." Xue Qinghe sweated slightly.
He thought that Ning Chen's masochistic side was getting worse.
The two of them soon started their training by running around the mansion for many laps.
After completing ten laps, Xue Qinghe dropped to the ground in exhaustion.
He was panting heavily and sweating profusely.
Ning Chen was also sweating slightly due to the heat of the sun, but he was still good to go.
"Come on, get up! We still have more to do," Ning Chen said encouragingly.
"What? Can we rest for a moment? I can't stand up," Xue Qinghe said tiredly since he couldn't even bother to shout.
Ning Chen looked toward Xue Qinghe's slender legs and saw it was trembling without stopping.
He then released a sigh and sat next to Xue Qinghe, "Fine, you can rest, but I will tell you this in advance. Your current training is just very easy and will become more hellish in the future."
Xue Qinghe was relieved to hear the first part, but on the second part, he was visibly shaken in fright.
𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨?
Xue Qinghe was now starting to regret accepting Ning Chen's offer. But he couldn't back down now after accepting it...
....
Yey! Finally chapter 30! It's very fortunate that I still haven't lost my motivation, but I hope it continues forever.
I think this fanfic will end by 100+ or 200+ chapters.
Tell me the mistakes and confusing parts I made since I can't find it all.
Also, I didn't have class yesterday and today, making me update early.
