Training Ground
After Xia Tian was returned from Yu house, he decided to train his body. Unlike ordinary cultivators who only relied on cultivation and body techniques, Xia Tian preferred to build his physique directly.
In addition, he also intended to train his speed, even though Speed Fruit had made his speed increase a lot. But it was still lacking for Xia Tian, because he was one of the cultivators who relied on his physical speed in the past.
Not only that, he also wants to hone his reflexes and instincts. It could be said that cultivators were hunters, but weak cultivators would become their prey.
Xia Tian deeply understands human nature, although not all humans are evil, many of them also look good from the outside, but from the inside they are wolves that always wait for their prey to be caught off guard.
He had witnessed too much how greedy, jealous, and envious humans were. Because at the beginning of his cultivation path, he himself was like prey that had to hide from hunters.
Until he finally became the strongest, he turned to hunt down the hunters, and he slaughtered them. He changed after meeting his wife, Liu Lifen. It was Liu Lifen who taught him kindness and wisdom, the more they were together, the more his cruel nature eroded.
Unfortunately, Liu Lifen was not a cultivator, even though he had tried many ways, but she was never able to become a cultivator, and in the end she died of old age. His heart and soul were taken by his beloved wife, Liu Lifen's death left him depressed and devastated.
From then on, he had only one obsession, he wanted to revive Liu Lifen. He lived as the ruler of several dynasties, until the world turned into modern one. He learned everything just to fulfill his obsession, but in the end he failed miserably, and he now became a weak prey once again.
At this moment, Xia Tian was running around the training ground with a lot of weight on his body, even on his back he was also carrying a rock that weighed up to 100kg. In his current state, he struggled hard to run, the guards and soldiers who saw him were amazed by his tenacity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, those who were off duty joined Xia Tian's practice, but because they were not cultivators, so the stones they carried were not as heavy as those carried by Xia Tian, although at first they had to struggle hard, but Xia Tian's persistence make their spirits soar.
Even his family who saw him from a distance could not bear to see him, they felt that Xia Tian was torturing himself too much. Liu Ying looked at her son with watery eyes, then sobbingly she said. "Tian is pushing himself too hard, Father. Seeing him struggle so hard to run makes my heart ache."
"It's his own choice, Ying'er." Xia Ling also couldn't bear to see Xia Tian like that, but he as a general understood Xia Tian's heart to become stronger. "Just look at your son, his eyes and expression, even if we try to stop him now, then he will definitely not stop."
Chen Xue then added. "In the past, he was the strongest, but nowadays many people can kill him easily, so naturally Tian doesn't want to continue to be weak, Ying'er."
"That's right, Aunt Ying." Xia Xing then put her arm around her shoulders. "Right now, all we can do is support him."

Above The Sky
Zhu Yuhe looked at Xia Tian lovingly, she could feel Xia Tian determination to become stronger, because she hadn't seen him for three days because of his seclusion, it made her feelings for him deepen.
"The man you chose to be your partner is amazing, Yuhe. He really is very persistent in becoming stronger." Zhou Xuan was also amazed by Xia Tian's tenacity.
Zhu Yuhe nodded in agreement, as she said. "After all, he has tens of thousands of years of memories, there is no way he wants to continue to be weak, and all of those memories force him to keep moving forward, and I am sure that one day he will definitely stand at the top of this world."
"Sigh, he's too mysterious for me." Zhou Xuan said with a shake of her head, but she continued to stare at Xia Tian in a complicated manner, ever since Xia Tian kissed her that night, she was increasingly unable to remove his figure from within her mind and heart.
Zhu Yuhe turned to her, and she smiled faintly. "Don't you want to consider becoming his woman, Sister Xuan? You've been alone for too long, so I think it's time for you to move on."
Zhou Xuan turned to her, but she didn't answer her question, and she just looked at Zhu Yuhe complicatedly.
"I know that you are already interested in Xia Tian, Sister Xuan." Zhu Yuhe's words stunned Zhou Xuan, she did not deny that she was already attracted to him, but she had not yet decided to become his woman, then Zhu Yuhe continued. "Just accept your feelings, Sister Xuan. I'm sure that you will also be happy if you decide to become his woman."
Zhou Xuan fell silent, and she looked back at Xia Tian who was still running around the training ground, and she inwardly sighed. 'Sigh, what Yuhe said is true, it's been decades since I closed my heart, maybe it's time for me to move on.'

Xia Tian had finished running ten laps, then he drank Energy Recovery Liquor from his system store to recover his energy again. And he started doing other exercises, the guards and soldiers were confused by Xia Tian's practice. Because the pattern of exercise is very different from what they do on a daily basis, they feel that the exercise looks normal but is difficult to do.
Xia Tian continued to practice from push ups, sit ups, squats, and etc hundreds of times. He did everything in turn every hour, until three hours later he asked some of the most agile soldiers to accompany him to train.
"You five are the fastest in this place?" He asked the five soldiers and they nodded, then Xia Tian took the five iron rods, and said to them. "I want all of you to use all your abilities, and attack me with this iron rod without mercy. Do you all understand?"
The five soldiers were dumbfounded by his order, none of them dared to move to pick up the iron rod. Where did they dare attack the young master of the Xia family? If anything happened to Xia Tian, then Xia Ling would definitely be furious.
"We dare not do that, Young Master Tian. If anything happens to you then we will be the ones to be beaten by General Ling." One of the soldiers answered Xia Tian.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You don't need to be afraid of grandpa, because he also listens to me." Xia Tian shook his head, then smirked at them. "If you guys don't move right now, then I will beat all of you to my heart's content."
They shuddered to see the smirk on Xia Tian's face, they felt that their young master was more sadistic than his grandfather, they immediately took five iron rods, and stood surrounded Xia Tian.
"Remember carefully! Use all your strength, and attack me ruthlessly like you would attack enemy soldiers, if any of you attack me half-heartedly, then I will beat him up, understand?" They nodded repeatedly at his threat. "Let's start"
The five soldiers started to attack Xia Tian with all their might, Xia Tian himself didn't use his cultivation at all, because he wanted to train his reflexes and instincts, so there was no point in practicing if he still relied on his cultivation.
The iron rods started hitting Xia Tian's body, because his body was still very weak and slow, even though he had tried to dodge their attacks as best he could, but the percentage of their attacks hitting his body was far greater than what he managed to dodge.
Not long after, Xia Tian's body was already covered in bruises, and blood also started dripping from his body, but he didn't let them stop.
Alice was constantly activating his self regeneration, so no matter how many times his body was injured, it wouldn't take long for the wound to heal by itself. Self regeneration only accelerated the healing of internal and external injuries, no matter how severe the injury was, Xia Tian would recover faster than the average human. In this world, only Xia Tian could do it, but his self regeneration didn't necessarily make him invincible. If someone managed to cut off his limbs, then it would not be able to recover, and if his head was beheaded, then he would definitely die.
Xia Tian himself didn't care how painful their attacks were, he kept trying to dodge their attacks, the more they attacked him, Xia Tian gradually started to find openings for their attacks.
The Xia family members who saw Xia Tian's practice were horrified by the way he practiced, Liu Ying even buried her face in Xia Xing's arms, because she couldn't bear to see her son condition anymore.
Xia Tian's body was already covered in blood but he was still moving trying to dodge their attacks, the soldiers actually wanted to stop, but Xia Tian kept threatening them, it made them wonder if their young master had really gone mad.
Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan who were watching from the sky were also horrified, Xia Tian's way of training was too extreme in their eyes. Even so, no one had any intention of stopping his training, and they just silently watched him.
