Ning Rongrong loved spending time with someone as handsome as Xiao Yexuan.
Besides, Xiao Yexuan and the boys she had seen at Shrek Academy were two completely opposite extremes.
Those three at Shrek Academy looked as if they wanted to devour her.
But Xiao Yexuan's gaze lingered only on her face, without the slightest trace of anything unclean.
In contrast, she kept looking him up and down. She felt more like a female hooligan herself.
But she could not help it.
So, to spend more time with him, she had Xiao Yexuan introduce all the appliances and other devices in the room to her.
They left her marveling again and again.
"Is this Simulation Pod really as good as you say?"
After he finished introducing the Simulation Pod, Ning Rongrong's face was full of amazement and disbelief.
Because this was just too absurdly powerful.
"Yes! Rongrong, you can get in and try it."
Xiao Yexuan did not address Ning Rongrong with an honorific, either. During their earlier chat, she had felt that "Miss Rongrong" sounded too distant and told him to just call her by her name.
Xiao Yexuan had also pretended to take a long time to adjust before saying her name smoothly.
Ning Rongrong felt that someone as handsome as Xiao Yexuan would not lie, so she lay down inside as instructed.
At the same time, Xiao Yexuan's consciousness entered it as well to teach her what to do.
"Rongrong, physical training does help a great deal with cultivation, but it can be divided into passive and active training. This Simulation Pod also has all sorts of cultivation environments. Lightning to temper the body, wind and sand to refine it, and ocean waves to strengthen it. There's also volcanic heat-resistance training, ice-cave cold-resistance training-everything you could want."
Xiao Yexuan waved his hand, and many different environments appeared before Ning Rongrong.
Roaring thunder and lightning, flying sand and hurtling stones, surging ocean waves-Ning Rongrong could barely take it all in.
"This is incredible! But getting struck by lightning... won't that really damage my body?"
Ning Rongrong grew worried again.
The Simulation Pod has already analyzed your physical strength. It won't unleash power beyond your body's limits.
Go in and try it. It might hurt a little, but this is something you have to experience.
"As if I'd be afraid of a little pain!" Ning Rongrong did not want to show her vulnerable side in front of Xiao Yexuan.
Then she planted both hands on her hips and walked into the world of lightning.
"Choosing the lightning environment on your very first try? You've got some guts!"
"Come on!"
Ning Rongrong shouted.
A bolt of lightning crashed down. Ning Rongrong went numb all over, feeling as though her body was no longer under her control.
After being struck, she collapsed to the ground, her eyes rolling back and drool streaming from the corners of her mouth.
Her body convulsed, and yellow liquid flowed out from below!
He had forgotten that being electrocuted could cause incontinence.
Fortunately, Xiao Yexuan had activated automatic cleaning mode.
Otherwise, the entire interior of the Simulation Pod outside would probably have been a mess.
"Restore! Restore!"
So Xiao Yexuan hurriedly restored Ning Rongrong to her original state.
"Hah... hah..." Ning Rongrong had also lost consciousness after losing control of her bladder. All she remembered was the agony of being struck by lightning. Even though her body no longer felt it, she was still panting with lingering fear.
"So... this is what... being struck by lightning feels like?"
"Actually, lightning is even more powerful than that. In reality, very few people would dare try using this kind of power."
Xiao Yexuan smiled softly without mentioning Ning Rongrong's earlier sorry state.
"Does this mean I've successfully tempered my body?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.
"It's not that simple. You need to be shocked many times. And although you seem fine now, your body in the Simulation Pod has already undergone similar tempering. You'll need to let your body recover for a while before tempering it this way again."
"Then can I block out this pain completely...? Getting struck... really feels awful."
Ning Rongrong gazed pleadingly at Xiao Yexuan with watery eyes.
She hoped to temper her body without any pain.
"You can, but... afterward, you'll have to spend some extra time familiarizing yourself with your physical strength. Otherwise, your nerves and body won't be in sync, and they might even become confused."
Xiao Yexuan nodded as he spoke.
"How long could getting used to my body take? Just let me train that way! Hehe!"
Ning Rongrong giggled. This was simply wonderful.
Gaining a powerful body without suffering any pain-there was no describing how great that felt.
"All right! You can adjust these settings yourself. Just set it to continuous body-tempering mode."
Xiao Yexuan instructed her.
"I'm tempering my body now, but I can still move around here. Does that mean I... can do other things too?"
Ning Rongrong asked delightedly.
"Rongrong, you're very clever. You can run. It may look like ordinary running, but your body will actually be running while being struck by lightning. That will draw out even greater potential from your body."
"Of course, that also places a heavy burden on your body. I'd still recommend training your spiritual power."
Xiao Yexuan pointed at his head as he spoke.
"You mean Heart Separation Control?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had a technique called Heart Separation Control.
"Yes! This is effectively cultivating two different kinds of power at the same time." Xiao Yexuan nodded.
"More than that! When I practice Heart Separation Control, I keep releasing my different skills. Each skill has to be released at a different speed and timing, as accurately as possible, with complete control over releasing and withdrawing it.
"As you know, Soul Skills consume a lot of Soul Power, and recovery is very slow. But here, once I run out of Soul Power, I can restore it with one click. That means I can keep cultivating!"
Ning Rongrong had even learned to jump in with the answer.
"That's true, but what could improve your cultivation faster than actual combat?"
With that, Xiao Yexuan snapped his fingers, and their surroundings rapidly changed.
They took on the appearance of a Soul Fighting Arena.
Ning Rongrong was now part of a team.
"It can even simulate real Soul Fighting!"
Ning Rongrong was incredibly excited. Then she began supporting her teammates and completed a match.
Moreover, after finishing a match and restoring her Soul Power, she was not tired at all.
But Xiao Yexuan then gave her an even harder training method.
That was to fight herself.
In other words, two teams fought each other, while Ning Rongrong stayed outside both teams and supported them both from beyond the arena.
After one battle, she felt as though her head were about to split open.
But the gains were considerable.
"Ooh... I've cultivated so much today. I think I ought to reward myself properly."
Ning Rongrong was a little princess. Cultivating for so long today was already an unprecedented feat for her.
"All right! Let's end the battle, then. But your body has just finished training, so you'll probably feel uncomfortable. I suggest waiting a while and leaving only after the system tells you your body feels comfortable," Xiao Yexuan kindly reminded her.
"Eek! You mean that feeling of being struck by lightning? I'd better play here a little longer before waking up."
