Chapter 146 Young Moss
Xiao Tai's words caused some of the onlookers to whisper among themselves.
Some felt sympathy, while others thought the child was ungrateful.
Lynn gestured for Dogg and the others to wait a moment, then walked over. Vera and Leah followed curiously behind.
"What's going on?" Lynn's voice rang out calmly.
Upon seeing Lynn, the two academy staff members immediately stood at attention and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency the Prophet!"
The surrounding crowd stirred, bowing and shouting, "Your Excellency the Prophet!"
The boy with light blue hair paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Lynn.
The moment their eyes met, the boy suddenly felt a strange flutter in his heart.
The young man before us, revered as a "prophet," exudes a gentle and reassuring power.
The boy inexplicably felt as if a spring breeze had swept through his heart, dispelling his previous anxiety and despair.
"My...Prophet..." The boy lowered his head, somewhat at a loss.
Lynn walked up to him and looked him up and down.
This young man is not only so handsome, but his voice is also so soft.
However, the resentment and longing in his eyes were exceptionally clear.
"What's your name? How old are you?" Lynn asked.
"My name is Xiaotai, and I am sixteen years old," the boy replied.
Lynn's gaze lingered for a moment on the face of this slender "boy" with exceptionally delicate and handsome features.
The resentment and longing were too intense.
It reminded him of many characters from his past life who struggled in the mire of fate but ultimately broke free with sheer grit.
Just like a certain female sword saint in a past life.
She also appeared to have light blue hair.
"Do you really want to become strong?" Lynn's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the "boy's" ears.
"Yes! I really want to! I really want to!" Xiaotai nodded vigorously almost without thinking.
Becoming stronger is the only way for Xiaotai to escape the past and take control of the future.
She went through all sorts of hardships to get here because she didn't want her fate to be decided by others anymore.
Lynn hesitated for a moment.
The child's talent test results were indeed poor, and it would be difficult for him to achieve great success through conventional paths.
But the flame in those eyes... reminded him of a power that required extreme willpower to control.
"I do have a rather unique body-strengthening method here," Lynn said slowly, and the surrounding crowd involuntarily held their breath to listen.
"It does not rely on excellent elemental affinity, nor does it demand a perfect physical foundation."
"But it requires extremely strong willpower and resilience. It requires enduring extreme pain to extract every bit of potential from the body, forcibly opening the meridians, tempering the muscles and bones, and even honing the spirit."
He looked at Xiaotai, his tone becoming serious: "But I must make it clear beforehand that this path is extremely difficult, and the pain is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."
"The process may be accompanied by persistent, severe pain, weakness, or even a feeling of being on the verge of collapse."
"And it requires persistence day after day, year after year."
Xiao Tai listened, but instead of backing down, her eyes blazed with an even more intense light.
Pain? Hasn't she experienced enough?
Hunger, cold, contempt, and even the despair of being treated like merchandise and sold off by one's closest relatives...
Is physical pain more unbearable than mental despair?
Perseverance? What she has in abundance is the patience to survive in the cracks of rocks!
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to cross mountains and valleys to get here.
"I'm not afraid!" Her voice was unusually firm.
"I can endure any kind of pain!"
"As long as there's even the slightest chance to become stronger, I will never give up! I beg the Prophet to teach me!"
Lynn looked at the resolute determination in her (his) eyes and nodded slightly.
This mindset is perhaps even more precious than talent.
"it is good."
"I can teach you this body-strengthening method."
"But whether you can get started and whether you can persevere depends entirely on yourself."
"I will have someone arrange a separate place for you and provide you with enough nutritious food—practicing this method consumes a great deal of energy, and if you don't get enough nutrition, you will ruin your training."
"Lynn said."
Xiao Tai's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
A separate place to live! Plenty of food! These were things she never dared to dream of before!
"Furthermore," Lynn continued, his eyes filled with scrutiny and expectation.
"If you can use this method to break through to the level of an intermediate warrior within a year, then I can make an exception and allow you to join my personal guard."
"At that time, I will personally guide your subsequent cultivation."
The Royal Guard! Under the personal guidance of the Prophet!
A tremendous surprise overwhelmed the moss like a wave.
She felt like she was dreaming, and pinched her palm hard; the pain made her realize it was real.
She bent down deeply, almost prostrating herself on the ground, her voice choked with emotion yet incredibly clear and strong: "Thank you! Prophet! I will do it! I will!"
Lynn offered a hand in a gesture of support: "No need for such a grand gesture. Remember, you chose this path yourself, and how far you go depends on yourself."
Without any further pleasantries, Lynn began to teach the basic body-forging method called "Hundred Refinements Body Forging Technique".
It includes a set of extremely slow, but extremely demanding static stance exercises that require precise posture and breathing, as well as twelve seemingly simple, but actually dynamic movements that require the engagement of all the subtle muscles in the body and are accompanied by a special breathing rhythm.
Lynn explained it very carefully, from the principles to the key points, and then to the possible physical reactions and danger signs.
Xiao Tai listened intently, trying her best to remember every detail.
When Lynn had her try the first static pose, she immediately discovered its difficulty—after only a dozen or so breaths, she felt some small muscles in her legs, back, and waist that she had never paid attention to before begin to ache and tremble, and her breathing became erratic.
"Remember this feeling, find the right spot to engage your muscles, and maintain your breathing rhythm," Lynn corrected her subtle mistakes.
"In the beginning, don't pursue a long time. First, find the right feeling. Even if you can only hold it for thirty breaths, make sure your posture and breathing are completely correct."
Next came the dynamic movements, each one incredibly awkward, seemingly designed to challenge the limits of human inertia and coordination.
Xiao Tai was sweating profusely, her movements were crooked and awkward, but she gritted her teeth and persevered, trying her best to imitate Lynn's demonstration.
Lynn saw this and nodded slightly in approval.
This "young man" has patience and comprehension far beyond expectations. Although his physical foundation is weak, his flexibility and sense of balance are unexpectedly good. He even has a natural dexterity when performing certain movements that require delicate coordination.
"Not bad, you've done this well on the first day. Now you'll need to persevere. Remember, physical training is a slow and steady process. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a great river is formed from countless small streams." Lynn affirmed his efforts and then gave him some advice.
"I got it!" Little Moss answered loudly.
After the matter was resolved, Lynn took Vera, Lia, and Dogg to continue their tour of the academy.
They certainly didn't recognize her; she was the female sword saint from their previous life.
