Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 24 Brutal Training
The night slowly faded away as time passed. When the first rays of morning light from the distant horizon spread across the earth, the Starry Forest, which had been silent all night, finally burst into life again. Countless giant birds and beasts roared in unison, and the roars lingered in the forest for a long time.

At the steep mountain stream, three figures fell from the sky. The loud noise they made when they landed startled the birds and beasts circling nearby, making them flap their wings and flee in haste.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only the figures of a young man and two old men appeared.

The young man narrowed his eyes and glanced ahead, then he exhaled softly and whispered, "Uncle Shelong, should we have entered the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Yes, young master." Upon hearing this, the nine-foot-tall old man stepped forward and said seriously, "The mixed area is almost entirely populated by soul beasts over thirty thousand years old, which is just right for you, young master, to obtain your fifth soul ring. If you need any soul beast, just tell me later."

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, the young man nodded slightly, then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

…………

The Star Dou Great Forest is located in the south of the Tiandou Empire. The forest spans the two empires. Due to the large number of soul beasts here, this is also the place where the border between the two countries is the least clear. From the map, most of the Star Dou Great Forest is within the territory of the Xingluo Empire.

As one of the three major wild soul beast gathering places, this is naturally the place where soul masters most hope to come, because every time they come here, it means that they are about to advance.

From afar, Huo Yuhao could vaguely sense gusts of fresh air blowing towards him. The scent, tinged with the delicate fragrance of plants, was refreshing and indescribably comfortable. Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, all 36,000 pores in his body seemed to relax, a feeling of indescribable comfort.

Mobilizing his soul power and using his spiritual eyes to gaze into the distance, Huo Yuhao saw a green ocean. The endless green in front of him looked so shocking, and the comfortable and refreshing air came from this.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to step into the forest, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rang out from the ring on his finger: "Don't rush in yet."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao froze, his face filled with shock. He subconsciously looked down at the ring and asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Yuhao, I need to give you some physical training first." Xiao Yan's voice came from the ring again, his words carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty. "With your current physical strength, if you encounter a soul beast and use Eight Extremes Collapse in a panic, your body won't be able to withstand the recoil of the Eight Extremes Collapse. Breaking bones would be the least of your worries. If that happens, you might not be able to kill the soul beast, but instead become its meal."

"Teacher, how are you going to train?" Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly shook, his little face trembling slightly, and he mustered up the courage to ask.

"Didn't I tell you before? The harder the beating, the better."

A few hours later, in a small dense forest outside the Star Dou Forest.

Huo Yuhao's feet were stuck in the soil like tree stumps, his toes were tightly gripping the ground, his teeth were clenched, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead. At this moment, he was only wearing a pair of shorts, with his upper body naked, and blue bruises all over it.

Behind Huo Yuhao, a soul shadow in a black robe was floating in the air. As it waved its hand, a light red fighting spirit whip suddenly shot out from its palm and finally hit Huo Yuhao's back heavily.

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

"Snapped--"

Only a dull sound was heard in the forest.

Then, a long green bruise appeared on Huo Yuhao's back.

The whip kept hitting his body, and Huo Yuhao's mouth trembled violently. He felt his whole body go numb in an instant, and waves of burning pain went straight from his back to his heart. Under this severe pain, even his legs became weak. He almost couldn't control himself and fell headfirst into the mud in front of him.

But after this intense pain subsided, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that the meager Dou Qi coursing through his body, stimulated by the piercing pain in his femur, seemed to be even more vibrant than usual, and began to flow rapidly through his veins and acupoints. Then, traces of warm and cool energy from the surrounding heaven and earth began to slowly seep into his bones and muscles, strengthening every part of his body.

"what--"

Although he felt that his physical condition was getting stronger, the pain was still unbearable for Huo Yuhao. Every time he was whipped, a heart-wrenching roar would come out of his mouth, echoing continuously in the forest.

"Old Deng, can you be gentler! This is almost breaking me apart!" Veins bulged on his forehead. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and shouted loudly at Xiao Yan. After shouting this, he felt a sense of relief in his heart, but he was also a little scared.

Hearing this, the energy whip in Xiao Yan's hand suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his serious expression and said:
"Yuhao, only this kind of high-intensity training can rapidly improve your physical fitness. If you enter the Star Dou Great Forest and your physical fitness isn't strong enough, you won't be able to successfully unleash the Eight Extremes Collapse when you encounter soul beasts. In the end, you'll only end up dead!"

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth. Although he knew that what Xiao Yan said made sense, he couldn't help but mutter, "Even if that's the case, there's no need to use such harsh measures..."

Xiao Yan seemed not to hear his mumbling. He stared intently at Huo Yuhao and suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you call me just now?"

"Teacher, what's wrong? I must have called you teacher." Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly tightened, realizing that he seemed to have said something wrong just now, and opened his mouth slightly.

"Is it?"

"Okay, Master understands."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan forced a relieved smile onto his handsome old face. He nodded slightly, and the light red energy whip shot out from his palm again.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

“Ah, ah, ah…”

From within the small woods, a series of eerie muffled sounds and low groans tinged with pain echoed continuously...

Xiao Yan's attacks were very measured. Each attack just reached the critical point that Huo Yuhao's body could withstand at the moment. That way, he would not seriously injure Huo Yuhao, but would still cause him real pain and improve his physical fitness.

"boom!"

Another long whip of Dou Qi shot out, and Huo Yuhao, who was like a wooden stake, finally reached the limit of what he could bear. His legs softened and he collapsed due to exhaustion.

"Very good. You took forty-seven lashes today. At this rate, you should be able to successfully perform Eight Extreme Collapse within three days. Then, you'll be able to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings."

Looking at Huo Yuhao who collapsed to the ground, Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, with an imperceptible surprise in his eyes.
