"Wrath of the Wind God."

A tall, azure phantom appeared behind Fang Han. Violent power of heaven and earth gathered, and the surrounding reeds swayed without wind. Some waterbirds in the reeds seemed startled and quickly flew away.

The tall phantom only lasted for a breath before dissipating. Fang Han felt the sudden power within his body and his face lit up with joy. Without any hesitation, he ran, jumped, and rolled on the beach, striving to make his limbs, waist, and abdomen full and powerful.

He had several sandbags tied to his limbs, but at this moment, they felt like nothing to him.

His forehead was covered in sweat, and his back was already soaked.

Half an hour later, the already panting Fang Han didn't rest. Instead, he continuously struck a sandbag that had been prepared nearby until his eyes saw stars, his head buzzed, and his physical strength was exhausted to the limit. Only then did he painfully collapse into the reed bed on the beach, gasping for air.

Clap clap clap

"Not bad."

Fang Xuan walked out with a smile on his face.

"Young Master?"

Fang Han quickly climbed up from the ground and bowed respectfully.

"You've trained well. You reached the Training Strength realm in just three months. Not bad. But you must remember, no matter what martial arts you cultivate, you must train the strength of your limbs, waist, and abdomen to be solid and have enough flexibility before you can practice techniques. Otherwise, it will have no effect. Any technique without strength is just an empty shell.

Nourishing Life, Training Strength, Techniques – these three steps must be cultivated one by one. You are from a servant background and cannot compare with those core disciples. They eat bird's nest, deer antler, ginseng, and black chicken every day, while you only eat meat occasionally. It's impossible for you to undergo such intense training every day. Even with the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art, it's not enough to quickly make up for the deficiencies in your body. You must not be careless and damage your foundation," Fang Xuan said.

Fang Han nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Young Master, this humble one understands."

In three months, Fang Han had grown sturdier than before, and his height had increased significantly.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, it was the time when height grew the fastest. He changed almost every day. If he took off his clothes, he would find that the density of Fang Han's muscles and bones had increased significantly, and his weight had increased by twenty to thirty pounds.

He was no longer as thin and dark as before, and he looked more energetic.

Fang Xuan took out a piece of paper from his怀 and handed it over.

Fang Han reached out and took it. When he saw the content on the paper, his eyes widened, his body trembled slightly, and his eyes were slightly red.

"This is your deed of sale. I have obtained it for you. With this, you will no longer be a servant. Then I will ask my mother to adopt you as her foster son, and you can openly practice martial arts without having to sneak around like this. However, the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art must never be revealed, otherwise, even my Fang Family will suffer a great disaster of灭门."

Plop!

Fang Han knelt on the ground like a collapsing mountain, continuously kowtowing to Fang Xuan, his voice slightly choked with sobs, "Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master. Fang Han will definitely repay this kindness."

Better to be a beggar than a family slave.

Fang Han's family had been servants of the Fang Family for three generations. He thought he would never be able to rise up in this life, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Not only was his servant status canceled, but he could also practice martial arts and make a name for himself.

Reaching out to help Fang Han up, he said with a smile, "I don't know why, but the first time I saw you, I felt a strange closeness. I have asked Mother to adopt you as her foster son, so from now on, you are my brother. Don't call me Young Master anymore, call me Ge."

"Young... Xuan Ge."

"Haha, that's right!" Fang Xuan laughed heartily.

Fang Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had finally hugged Fang Han's thigh. With this favor and status, even if he didn't succeed in cultivation, just hugging this thigh would be enough to soar into the sky.

Fang Xuan patted Fang Han's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow I will set off for the Immortal Feather Sect. You stay at home and practice martial arts well, and take good care of Mother. When I achieve success in cultivation, I will find a way to get you into the Immortal Feather Sect. Then we brothers will pursue the immortal path together and achieve the Dao Fruit of eternal life."

Fang Han was still immersed in this sudden happiness, and he nodded heavily with excitement.

"Xuan Ge, don't worry, I will take good care of Mother."

"Haha, that's right. By the way, you must never let a second person know about this Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art. Such a secret technique, let alone the Fang Family, even the entire Great Li Dynasty may not be able to keep it. I didn't even teach it to Fang Hong. If it weren't for the fact that your body was too deficient and it was difficult to achieve martial arts, I wouldn't have taught it to you. If this secret technique is known by others, it will be a great disaster," Fang Xuan said solemnly.

Fang Han's heart also trembled. In the past three months, Fang Xuan had told him some basic knowledge of cultivation. He knew that the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art could extract the power of heaven and earth out of thin air, as if swallowing endless weakened Essence Pills to accelerate cultivation. With such a secret technique, anyone who obtained it could establish a powerful family, or even a dynasty.

Having known how to hide his abilities since childhood and having the ambition of a swan, Fang Han naturally knew the importance of this.

He nodded heavily and said, "Xuan Ge, don't worry, even if I die, I won't let others find out."

Fang Xuan slapped Fang Han on the back of the head and pretended to be angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? If it really comes to that point, hand over what should be handed over. If you die, you'll have nothing left."

Being slapped, Fang Han was not angry. Instead, his heart was warm. Since his father passed away, he had never felt this kind of warmth again.

"Come, I'll teach you Golden Toad Leaping into Water. This is a method of training strength in the Fang Family. It can greatly train the body's strength, but it consumes a lot of physical strength and can easily cause sprains and injuries. The Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art has already made up for the deficiencies in your body, and you have been nourishing your life very well for a while now, so you can practice it."

"Okay."

Fang Xuan explained the training method of Golden Toad Leaping into Water in detail and even demonstrated it for Fang Han personally.

One time, two times, three times, four times...

Fang Han kept jumping. After he was exhausted, he would perform the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art and continue practicing with the power of heaven and earth.

In this way, the power of heaven and earth continuously washed over his tired muscles, bones, and cells, constantly strengthening his bones and increasing his strength in a direction invisible to the naked eye.

It wasn't until the moon was on the treetops that Fang Han stopped his frantic training with Fang Xuan's support.

Fang Xuan watched the crazy Fang Han from the side and nodded secretly. This kind of training method was only possible with the support of the Heaven's Will Four Symbols Art and the power of heaven and earth. Of course, the most important thing was the tempering of his will.

Few people could endure such agonizing and exhausting torture every day, but Fang Han stubbornly persevered on his own.

One could only say that he was indeed the reincarnation of the Gate of Eternal Life's artifact spirit, born with a madness for pursuing the Great Dao within him.
