Return Of The Demon 92 Training For The Figh

And Bai Yun was certain that Bai Song would not want to spread the truth of what had happened there. The truth was extremely embarra.s.sing to him. So he would definitely try to make sure that no one would spread word of what happened. Whether he would be able to do so was another matter altogether.

And later events would prove him right. Even though most people came to find out what happened, no one came to confront Bai Yun. After all, it was only a fight between kids. And pretty much everyone in Bai Yun's family had beaten up someone in the coliseum before. So none of the older generations thought much of it, other than thinking that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Once Bai Yun returned to the mansion, he continued to read and laze around for a few more days. Once he felt that all of his stress and small instabilities that came with his rapid improvement had stabilized, he decided to once again return to training.

In his parent's mansion, there was a room specially tailored for training. Bai Yun had never been there as he had been going to more specialized training locations. But the reason Bai Yun had been training at a breakneck pace was because of the clan meeting that was coming up in one and a half months. Bai Yun initially thought that he needed to at least reach the peak of the qi condensation to win the clan meeting. But after seeing how poor the battle capabilities of the members of the Bai clan were, he had changed his idea. He was already strong enough to defeat people like Bai Song, who were considered as top geniuses of the clan. Bai Yun had already reached the seventh stage of the qi condensation realm. He was confident that he could at least reach the eighth stage by the clan meeting. By then no one in the clan at the early foundation establishment would have any chance against him.

But before that, he had a fight with Zhang Zi left. Zhang Zi was unlike the others. From his one fight, Bai Yun could see that he had a rich fighting experience. While nowhere close to Bai Yun's, just his battle experience would allow him to defeat foundation establishment at qi condensation. Even without his shockwave innate ability.

The training room contained some training dummies. These dummies could be configured to have various strengths and one could fight against them to test out their strength.

There was a reason Bai Yun had come to this room. He had realized that he was too reliant on his sight and the G.o.d sense for fighting. Back in his days he had used his perception to have a great view of the world around him. But now his perception was much weaker. So he had been relying on his eyes to fight.

But during the secret abode incident, he had realized just how mistaken he truly was. Bai Yun's eyes were damaged and he nearly died. Bai Yun realized that he was too reliant on his sight. He had to hone his other senses, or might be in trouble later.

So he first calibrated three dummies to the strength of a ninth stage qi condensation realm cultivator. Bai Yun figured that he shouldn't bite off much more than he could chew in the beginning. Once he did so, he took a blindfold and covered his eyes, to make sure that he could not see anything.

Once he confirmed that he was completely blind, he activated the dummies. Bai Yun stood there in the dark, and tried to sense the approach of the dummies.

As he stood there, Bai Yun's G.o.d sense suddenly started to tingle. Bai Yun sensed something coming at him from the left side. Bai Yun turned rapidly and blocked an attack that was aimed at his face. But the next second, Bai Yun felt a kick land on his stomach. He flew back quite a good distance, until he rolled and came to a stop. A drop of blood slowly seeped out of the edge of his mouth.

Bai Yun once again concentrated his senses. This time he was able to hear a sound coming from behind him. Bai Yun leaped forward to dodge the attack. As he stood there concentrating, he could slowly sense three vague figures around him.

Once again Bai Yun charged at the closest dummy to him. But after just a single exchange, he missed an attack and was punched in the face. Bai Yun stumbled back a few steps and stabilized himself. He felt the three dummies surrounding him. Bai Yun spit out some blood and wiped his lips. With a shout, Bai Yun leaped forwards, towards another one of the dummies. Slowly Bai Yun continued his fight. He would often get injured, but he would just get up and fight on.

When old Hai saw how Bai Yun was training, he was surprised. Bai Yun's training was extreme, and all for a fight that may never happen. But he did not want to say that Bai Yun should stop. So old Hai just watched over him and made sure that Bai Yun was not getting too injured.

When he was done with the training for the day, Bai Yun went back to his room. In the night he started to focus on alchemy and meditating to increase his cultivation. Bai Yun had already mastered the qi recovery pill. So he started to branch out into a more and wide range of pills. Thanks to his wealth, he was never in need of any materials. Thus his skill in alchemy grew at an almost unbelievable pace day by day. If any of the alchemists of the Bai clan were to see Ba Yun's improvement, they would most likely kill themselves in shame for the lack of their talent.

With each pa.s.sing day, Bai Yun's familiarity with the dummies grew exponentially. From getting hit all the time at first, he was able to slowly adjust to it. Soon Bia Yun was able to dodge all the attacks and even fight back slowly. After a few days, Bai Yun was moving amidst the three dummies like a fish in the water.

Seeing that it was getting easier to fight, Bia Yun slowly increased the number of dummies from three to four to finally nine. By then, once again Bai Yun felt the pressure on him increase. But it only took him one more day to get used to the number and fight back. But unlike when he only had three dummies, he could not defeat each dummy so easily as there were eight others fighting against him at the same time. Thus the training sessions tended to last longer.

When Bai Yun finally got the hang of fighting with his eyes closed, Bai Yun decided to take things up by a notch. He bought two talismans that sealed his hearing and then reduced the number of dummies to three and started his training all over again. When he began, it was a repeat of what had happened when he started without his sight. But thanks to his terrifying talent, Bai Yun was able to once again adjust to it in a short time. He then mirrored his training regime in the past and once again increased the number of dummies to nine. When Bai Yun was able to dispatch them all without much difficulty he finally stopped his training.

There was still time before the youngster's tournament. So Bai Yun knew that he had to do something to fill the time. It was at the time that Bai Yun finally thought of something. Something he was able to do in the past but couldn't replicate now.

From then on no one was allowed in the training room. The only ones allowed inside were butler Fang and old Hai anyway. Now they both had to stand outside if they had to tell him something. Even though they were curious about the special training Bai Yun was talking about, they could only hide the curiosity withing them.

The days pa.s.sed by one by one. Bai Yun never left the training room during this period of time. He had entered with enough food to last a week. So no one was worried about him. Finally, the youngster's tournament was just around the corner.

"Young Master Yun. The youngster's tournament is tomorrow. You need to rest." Old Hai knocked on the door to the training room.

For a long time, there was no sound coming from inside the room. Just as he was about to get worried, the door opened slowly. But when old Hai saw the person who came out, he was shocked.

Bai Yun's clothes were almost completely torn. Old Hai couldn't find a single piece of clothing that was still intact. He was bandaged up quite badly too. And on his face was a very good black eye. All in all, it looked as if he had been getting beaten for the past week.

"Young master, what the h.e.l.l happened." Old Hai asked.

"Nothing. It's just the price of success." Bai Yun replied. "Did butler Fang get the necessary medicines."

Before he had gone in for his special training, Bai Yun had asked them to prepare many medicines that could quickly heal his body. Back then neither of them had understood the reasoning. Even with the insane training, Bai Yun was undergoing, he was barely injured. But old Hai finally understood Bai Yun's words.

"I'll take a medicinal bath and then sleep until tomorrow." Bai Yun continued. He then walked back to his room while stretching his body and giving a great yawn. All the people who came across him stared at him in shock.

Old Hai stared at the disappearing back of Bai Yun for a while. Then curiosity got the better of him. He stepped into the training room. There in the middle of the room stood a single dummy. It was just standing there with its body outstretched in an attacking position. But old Hai could not see any injuries or damages to the dummy.

He walked up to the dummy, only to realize that it was still in attack mode, but for some reason, it was completely still. Old Hai walked up to the dummy and gently poked it with a finger, only for the dummy to collapse to the ground. But from a quick look, the dummy was completely uninjured.

Old Hai stood there and looked around. He had no idea why the dummy had collapsed.

'What the h.e.l.l kind of training was the young master doing.' old Hai thought.
