Three-Day Adjustment Period

Yu Tianlin tested the waters and answered, "Cousin Uncle Yu Jian, you mean the internal organs?"

Seeing that Yu Tianlin could answer so quickly after only the slightest hint, Yu Jian could not help revealing a satisfied smile and said, "That's right, the internal organs."

"Gravity acts on every part of the body, so naturally that includes the muscles, blood vessels, and the five viscera and six bowels."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Yu Tianlin's face, Yu Jian continued, "Under normal circumstances, no matter how much weight you add or how heavy the training load is, exercise can only strengthen your muscles. But your own internal organs won't be strengthened much at all; they'll still be extremely fragile. If that continues, in the end you'll become strong on the outside and weak on the inside, leaving yourself with a weakness."

"But training with gravity is different. Gravity can affect the internal organs. In other words, the internal organs have to constantly resist gravity. That in itself is a form of training. The internal organs will grow stronger and stronger while resisting gravity, and that strengthening will only stop once double gravity has no effect at all."

Yu Tianlin's eyes lit up, and he could not wait to ask, "Cousin Uncle Yu Jian, I understand everything you've said. So what's our training for today?"

"According to the Sect Master's requirements, your physical fitness training will be in the morning, and actual combat training will be in the afternoon," Yu Jian said. "Because the morning is purely physical training, I sealed your soul power. When it's time for actual combat training in the afternoon, I'll naturally undo the seal for you."

"As for the content of your physical training, it's just the usual—mainly running."

Running again? Hearing Yu Jian's arrangement, Yu Tianlin felt a little speechless. Seriously, was there no other way to train the body on Douluo Continent? He remembered that in the original work, when his cheap second uncle Yu Xiaogang put the Shrek Seven Devils through devil training, it was running too.

Yu Jian continued, "But there's no need to rush just yet. In your current state, I reckon you'd be done for after running for a few minutes. You wouldn't be able to run at all. So I'll give you three days first to adapt to the gravity. Heh heh, after three days, it'll be devil training. We'll see how I work you then."

After saying that, Yu Jian no longer paid any attention to Yu Tianlin. He sat cross-legged on the cushion beside the stone pillar and continuously poured his own soul power into it, maintaining the existence of double gravity.

Yu Tianlin also began moving around in the Gravity Field. First he tried taking two steps, then he jumped once. But even when he only made such slight movements, his breathing could not help quickening a little.

He would take it slow and adapt little by little.

Moving step by step to the wall of the Cultivation Chamber, Yu Tianlin supported himself against it and slowly began to move.

Just like that, the entire morning passed. Yu Tianlin forced his heavy body to keep going, moving mechanically while panting heavily, feeling utterly exhausted.

Under double gravity, even walking at such a slow speed was no less strenuous than sprinting under normal conditions.

"All right, we'll stop here for this morning."

Suddenly, the faint earthy-yellow light enveloping the entire chamber dispersed, and Yu Jian, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the stone pillar the entire time, stood up.

"Phew... It's finally over..."

Yu Tianlin instantly felt his whole body lighten. His entire person felt as if he were floating, and he could not help letting out a long breath.

"With your current physical condition, without the support of soul power, being able to walk slowly under double gravity after only half a day is a pretty good result." Yu Jian walked toward Yu Tianlin and said, "I'd estimate you'll be able to walk normally tomorrow, manage a slow jog to a certain extent the day after that, and after that you'll be able to undergo normal training."

→_→.

Yu Tianlin gave Yu Jian a sidelong glance and merely nodded at him without replying. He was so tired right now that he did not want to say a single word.

Yu Jian did not mind either. He walked to Yu Tianlin's side, placed a hand on his shoulder, and withdrew the soul power that had been sealing him inside all along.

"Ohhh..."

The Soul Power Seal was undone, and his familiar soul power once again surged through his entire body, driving away his physical fatigue. Yu Tianlin could not help letting out a comfortable moan.

For the first time, Yu Tianlin felt that soul power really was a good thing. Even when his martial soul had awakened, it had not felt as comfortable as this.

"All right, go back and eat. Come back to this Cultivation Chamber in two hours for the afternoon's actual combat training."

With that, knowing that Yu Tianlin was currently weak all over, Yu Jian simply carried him out of the Cultivation Chamber and headed for the Sect Master's Mansion—Yu Tianlin's home.

"Little Lin, you're back." As soon as they returned home, Yu Rou noticed the movement and poked her head out. Seeing that Yu Jian was there too, she said, "Yu Jian, you're here as well. Stay and have a meal."

"No, Madam," Yu Jian said, shaking his head and refusing Yu Rou's kindness. He asked, "Madam, how are the Medicinal Liquids that are essential after the sect disciples train coming along?"

Looking at Yu Tianlin, who was being carried in Yu Jian's hand with a face full of exhaustion, Yu Rou could not help showing a pained expression and said, "The Medicinal Liquid was prepared long ago. It's in Little Lin's room."

"My room is over there."

Yu Tianlin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of his room. Yu Jian said nothing more and directly carried Yu Tianlin into his room.

Yu Jian pushed the door open and entered. Looking at the wooden tub in the room that was more than half-filled with brown liquid, he confirmed there was no problem, then tossed Yu Tianlin onto the bed.

"You handle the rest yourself. Soak properly. This Medicinal Liquid is something our sect's seniors spent a great deal of time researching and summarizing. Its main effects are relaxing the tendons, invigorating the channels, strengthening the foundation, and nurturing the source. It's suitable for use after intense exercise."

"Soak for about an hour, and you won't feel sore all over during the actual combat training this afternoon."

After saying this, Yu Jian turned and left directly, conveniently closing the door behind him.

After Yu Jian left, Yu Tianlin climbed up from his bed, stripped off all his clothes in a few quick motions, and jumped into the large wooden tub.

Wrapped in the brown Medicinal Liquid, Yu Tianlin immediately felt warm all over, the sensation of heat seeping into his body from the outside.

He had not expected the Medicinal Liquid in the tub to still be warm. It seemed it had not been prepared all that long ago.

Yu Tianlin lazily leaned his whole body against the side of the tub, idly stirring the brown Medicinal Liquid inside. A faint smell of medicinal herbs spread out.

Smelling the medicinal scent, Yu Tianlin's thoughts could not help drifting.

Come to think of it, should I find some time to properly study medicinal herbs, especially Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs? Otherwise, even if I get a chance to go to Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I won't recognize a single one.
