After his surprise, Tang San left, feeling that he needed to work even harder.

Ye Yu finished his push-ups, then went climbing.

At that time, Old Jack had prepared breakfast and packed his things before heading to Nuoding City. After leaving the village and walking along the mountain road, he saw a huge boulder moving upward along the cliff, which startled him.

Old Jack took a closer look, his eyes widening and pupils shrinking.

"It... it's Xiao Yu..."

Old Jack rubbed his eyes and looked again to confirm. He discovered that the huge boulder was being carried on the back of a small body. The child carrying it was Xiao Yu!

Old Jack looked at Ye Yu, who was already drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through. With a resolute expression, he continued climbing upward.

His tiny body was carrying such a massive boulder. Seeing this, Old Jack's nose stung, and his heart ached. Xiao Yu was only six years old. Although his body was different from ordinary people's, he was pushing himself far too hard.

"Xiao Yu, do you really want to become a powerful Soul Master...?"

Old Jack wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He did not go up to stop him, but silently left.

Old Jack firmly vowed in his heart, I must secure one more spot.

After climbing up and down once, Ye Yu found a larger waterfall nearby. It was a hundred meters high, with a more turbulent flow and greater force.

Standing beneath the waterfall, Ye Yu felt a force even greater than that of the huge boulder.

From now on, after finishing my gravity training, I'll come here to train.

The previous waterfall could no longer train him, while this one was just right. It could make him feel pressure. Only with pressure could he have motivation and improve.

Two hours later, Ye Yu left. After his Soul Power Awakening, his daily training time increased from four hours a day to ten.

If it had been anyone else, they definitely would not have been able to endure it, but Ye Yu's terrifying body seemed unable to feel fatigue. After eating and resting briefly, he continued.

Even after high-intensity training for long periods, his body would not ache the next day. Thus, he trained day after day without worrying about hidden injuries developing.

When he arrived home, Ye Yu saw that the food had already been prepared on the table. There was also a small note written by Old Jack: Xiao Yu, I'm going to Nuoding City. I'll be back this afternoon.

Ye Yu put away the note, sat down, and began eating while planning his daily training routine.

In the morning, he would carry a huge boulder while doing a thousand push-ups, a thousand one-handed push-ups, and a thousand two-finger push-ups. Then he would do a thousand squats and climb up and down the cliff once. After that, he would stand in a horse stance beneath the waterfall for an hour and perform a thousand full-power jumps.

After breakfast, he would continue at noon, practicing punches and kicks with weights on all four limbs. In the afternoon, he would find a large mountain as a target, then punch it to train his strength.

At night, he would go to the bottom of a river dozens of meters deep and practice his punches and kicks while enduring the water pressure.

Ye Yu felt that this plan was feasible. In the future, as his body improved, he could increase the number of repetitions.

After eating, Ye Yu went to the Blacksmith Shop.

When he was almost there, he heard the distant clang of hammering.

After entering, he saw Tang San holding a large iron hammer disproportionate to his body and striking an iron block glowing red from the furnace.

When Tang San saw Ye Yu enter, he stopped and asked, "Brother Yu, what brings you here?"

Ye Yu put down the large bag of rice he had brought and asked, "Do you have Heavy Iron? I need a hundred pieces. I'll trade this bag of rice for them."

Nearby, Tang Hao raised his head and took a sip of wine before saying, "I do. But what do you need a hundred pieces of Heavy Iron for?"

"Weighted training." Ye Yu answered frankly, then reminded him, "I want the densest Heavy Iron you have. Each piece must weigh at least twenty kilograms."

Tang Hao was startled when he heard this.

Tang San thought of what he had seen that morning, so he was not too surprised.

"Weighted training? Are you going to tie them to your limbs?"

"Mm." Ye Yu nodded.

Tang Hao warned him, "A hundred pieces of twenty-kilogram Heavy Iron add up to four thousand jin, or two tons. Twenty-five pieces on each hand and leg would be a thousand jin. Setting aside whether your limbs can withstand it, you're still young. You don't need to push yourself this hard. Be careful not to injure yourself and leave behind permanent damage."

Ye Yu said confidently, "I can do it."

Tang Hao no longer tried to persuade him and nodded. "Fine. I'll forge them for you today."

Tang San said, "Dad, I'll help you too."

Tang Hao nodded. Tang San began looking for Heavy Iron and hammering it, removing the impurities and making it smaller while forging it into the densest iron possible.

Tang San swung the iron hammer with tremendous force. However, Tang Hao quickly said, "Stop for now. At this rate, you won't finish in a day."

Tang Hao picked up the hammer and swung it while teaching him, "Generating force doesn't begin at the waist, but in the muscles of both calves. The calves generate force first, followed by the thighs, waist, back, and arms, all in one fluid motion."

Tang Hao gripped the iron hammer with both hands, his feet locking firmly onto the ground as his body half-turned. His calves tensed as he generated force, using his waist as the axis. His entire body resembled a fierce tiger ready to pounce.

Whoosh!!

The iron hammer swept through the air, producing a sharp whistle. It smashed heavily into the iron block with an ear-splitting boom. The rippling force spread outward, making the entire house tremble. The red-hot iron block was smashed inward by a third.

Tang San watched everything, astonishment flashing in his eyes. What incredible force.

Tang San began copying him. As the Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated, force erupted from his calves and spread instantly through his body. His waist turned, and he felt the power continuously surge upward, growing stronger and stronger.

When the force reached his arms, it felt unprecedentedly powerful.

CLANG!!!

The iron hammer struck the iron block with perfect accuracy, producing a deafening crash and making the entire room tremble slightly.

However, the recoil was also tremendous. Tang San was jolted backward a step, while the hammer bounced upward, leaving both his arms numb.

Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the numbness gradually faded.

Tang San discovered that this method truly produced immense strength, and the results were obvious.

However, the recoil was also powerful. It could make the body unstable, and hammering an iron block required continuous, uninterrupted strikes.

Tang Hao continued teaching Tang San. After bringing the hammer down, when the powerful rebound surged back, he suddenly turned around and generated force with his calves. The rebounding hammer was swung upward along with the motion, then smashed into the iron block with another deafening boom. Then he repeated the process...

Seeing this perfect coordination, Tang San's eyes lit up. It looked simple, but it was actually far from easy. He had to grasp the timing precisely. At the instant the iron hammer bounced almost to its highest point, he had to turn his body and swing it around in one full rotation before smashing it down again.

Tang Hao struck thirty-six times without pause. The iron block had already become an iron disc. When he finished, he used both hands to guide the hammer through three more rotations, dissipating the force before lowering the hammer and standing upright.

After watching, Tang San understood.

"Borrowing force to strike with force. But to make it as fluid as Dad did, it'll take some time."

Tang Hao nodded. "It's impossible to master it after seeing it once. Practice makes perfect."

Ye Yu watched everything and knew that this was the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique.

When Tang San was preparing to begin forging, Tang Hao said, "Xiao San, use the method I just taught you and swing the iron hammer with all your strength at Xiao Yu. If he can block it, I'll prepare a hundred pieces of Heavy Iron for him. If he can't, then there's no point preparing them. It won't help him—instead, it'll harm him."

Tang San nodded and looked at Ye Yu, asking for his opinion. "Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Ye Yu agreed without hesitation and nodded directly. "Of course. Come on!"
