Ever since that day, Su Yi had been cultivating at his residence.
He cultivated for sixteen hours every day and trained his body for two.
Aside from the time he spent eating and drinking, Su Yi slept for less than five hours a day.
At first, Hu Liena came to Su Yi's place every day, trying every possible way to devour him and turn uncooked rice into cooked rice.
But after seeing Su Yi's nearly suicidal cultivation routine—
Hu Liena was thoroughly fired up as well. From then on, she cultivated alongside Su Yi at his place every day.
Watching Su Yi constantly do push-ups, sit-ups, and other physical training exercises, she curiously asked him why he was doing all this.
So, after Su Yi told Hu Liena that training one's body and strengthening one's physique allowed one to absorb higher-level soul rings—
Whenever Su Yi trained, she trained with him.
However, Hu Liena could only maintain around ten hours of cultivation a day, and she could barely keep up with Su Yi's physical training regimen.
To train his body to an even greater extent, Su Yi specifically went to find Yue Guan.
Using special materials Yue Guan had found, he made weighted gear and wore it on his body.
Su Yi's weighted gear was made from an exceptionally soft meteorite iron, yet it possessed an extremely high density.
Even in Spirit City, with Spirit Hall's influence, only two pieces of this meteorite iron had been found.
Those two pieces were just enough to forge a weighted vest, a pair of wrist guards, and a pair of boots.
Each wrist guard weighed two hundred kilograms, while each boot weighed three hundred kilograms.
The weighted vest weighed a full thousand kilograms.
The entire set added up to exactly two thousand kilograms.
