The True Essence released by Kuwako had been forced back into her body by the tremendous pressure of the seawater, yet she couldn't speak because seawater would pour into her mouth once she opened her mouth. With no other choice, she nodded with difficulty while withstanding the tremendous pressure.
"Since you can still nod, it proves that you haven't reached your limit yet," Tan Xiu transmitted his voice to her. "Keep going down and stop only when you reach the critical point where you can't bear it anymore.
Kuwako, who was already very uncomfortable at the moment, felt a chill inside when she heard Tan Xiu's voice transmission. She didn't know how Tan Xiu would train her, but she had a faint premonition that she was about to face an inhuman torture.
Sure enough.
When Kuwako sank to 260 meters, her graceful body began to tremble violently. Blue veins bulged on her forehead and her retinas were faintly bloodshot.
I can't stand it anymore!
Kuwako finally stopped. Although the surging True Essence in her body prevented her from being crushed into a meat patty by the seawater pressure, she had lost the strength to even speak. In fact, there was even True Essence in her eyes, working hard to protect her eyes from the pressure of the seawater.
Tan Xiu, who was closely following Kuwako, immediately transmitted his voice to her upon seeing her stop. "If you think this is the critical point you can bear, then stop here and circulate the True Essence in your body with all your might. Try to extract the spiritual qi from the seawater to replenish your True Essence as much as possible." “
Kuwako didn't answer, but she followed Tan Xiu's instructions and frantically circulated the True Essence in her body, causing it to rush to the meridians in her limbs and bones. What made her helpless was that she could clearly feel the consumption speed of her True Essence. But when she tried to sense the spiritual qi contained in the seawater and absorb it, she found that the absorption speed was far slower than the consumption speed.
"10 minutes."
"I can only persist for 10 minutes at most if I cultivate at this depth. Once the time passes, I'm afraid that the True Essence in my body will be completely consumed. "
"Once the True Essence in my body is consumed, only death awaits me if I can't leave the seabed in time."
These thoughts flashed through Kuwako's mind, but she still tried her best to persist. She believed that Tan Xiu would not harm her, because if Tan Xiu wanted to harm her, he did not need to use such a method. As long as Tan Xiu wanted to, she would probably die without a burial place.
Time.
In the blink of an eye, six minutes had passed.
Kuwako's body trembled even more fiercely. She realized that she had overestimated herself. The higher the stage, the faster the consumption of True Essence. Moreover, she could clearly feel that there were countless needles moving in her body, pricking her and causing her unbearable pain.
"Spiritual Qi, I need Spiritual Qi."
Kuwako Yamamoto had a firm and resolute character. She had received training from her family and the Northstar One Blade School since she was a child, and the cruel training had polished her steel-like willpower.
Persevere!
Persevere!
Just as Kuwako felt dizzy from the pressure and her consciousness was about to collapse, a warm feeling suddenly gushed out from every part of her body that was aching. It was as though a mother's warm hand was soothing the pain in her body. At this moment, countless warm currents converged in her Dantian.
In just a few seconds …
It was like the transformation from Hell to Heaven. The heart-wrenching and lung-splitting pain disappeared, replaced by a comfortable feeling instead. Such a transformation made her ecstatic.
Then …
As time continued to elapse, the pain once again invaded every part of her body. As the pain grew more intense, her body finally reached its limit and had a huge breakthrough. Traces of warm currents emerged once again as the medicinal efficacy hidden in every part of her body was constantly forced out, absorbed, refined, and transformed into True Essence.
Once …
Twice …
Three times …
In just 15 minutes, Kuwako had broken through her limits three times and absorbed two-thirds of the medicinal efficacy hidden in her body.
"Almost there."
Tan Xiu quietly floated in front of Kuwako. Looking at the painful expression on her face once again, he instantly reached out to grab her arm and quickly brought her to the surface.
"Hua …"
Water splashed everywhere as Tan Xiu broke through the water surface with Kuwako. After returning to the speedboat, he directly put her down, took out a medicinal pill from his interspatial ring, and stuffed it into her mouth. "Don't think about anything. Empty your mind and cultivate according to the cultivation technique."
Kuwako sat cross-legged on the ground. She didn't even open her eyes from the beginning to the end. As she continued cultivating, she found that she could sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi more clearly. As her mind gradually emptied, she found that she could even detect some energy outside of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Like a silk being peeled from a cocoon, she quickly plundered it.
Kuwako's body emitted a suction force that continuously absorbed the drifting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into her body.
Four hours later.
An intense surprise flashed in Kuwako Yamamoto's eyes the moment she opened them. She floated up and then knelt on one knee, placing her right fist on her left chest and respectfully saluted. "Thank you for your nurturing, Sect Master. I can feel that I've made great progress after just one cultivation session. I've almost reached the mid-stage of Golden Core. I'm sure I'll be able to break through to the late-stage of Golden Core if I keep cultivating like this."
"Very good." Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and said, "Your performance is better than I expected. It seems that your willpower is very strong. If he wanted to go further on the path of cultivation, he would need to have this kind of determination. Today's underwater training will end here. Next, you will need to undergo another type of training. "
"What kind of cultivation?" asked Kuwako hurriedly.
Although.
Being trained by Tan Xiu was very painful, she was also pleasantly surprised by the benefits. Hence, she was willing to undergo such a cruel training.
Tan Xiu raised his arm and moved lightning-fast. After sealing several important acupoints on Kuwako's body, he indifferently smiled and said, "True Essence is abundant, but if your physique is weak, your body won't be able to bear the True Essence and will eventually explode and die. You're different from Awu and the rest. They have undergone countless training sessions to strengthen their physique, but you haven't. That's why I found that your physique is too weak.
"What you need to do next is the weight-bearing training, which is even more cruel. It will polish your willpower, destroy your nerves, and temper your body. Prepare yourself mentally, else you'll be tortured and driven crazy by the pain of the training. "
Kuwako's expression changed and she looked at Tan Xiu with a bit of fear. She knew that the following training sessions would be very cruel, but she didn't expect it to be this cruel. It seemed that the physical training was not just a physical pain.
"Master!"
In the distant sky, Gu Yin turned into a streak of light and dashed toward the speedboat.
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and looked at the sprinting Gu Yin. He was silent for a few seconds and then asked after she appeared in front of him, "Why did you come out? Is there something urgent? "
"It's fortunate that you didn't go far, Master," said Gu Yin. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find you easily. It's Big Sis Yannan. She's looking for you. "
"Why is she looking for me?" asked Tan Xiu. "Didn't I tell Awu to take her to the training base?"
"You'll know when you get there, Master." Gu Yin giggled. "Big Sis Yannan … she's angry. She wants to leave Nine Dragons Island and go to the South China Sea to plant herbs and raise fierce beasts."
With his keen mind, Tan Xiu immediately realized that the root of the problem was the moment he heard Gu Yin's words. Inadvertently, a strange smile appeared on his handsome face as he nodded and said, "Let's go back and have a look first since she's in a bad mood. This girl needs to be polished well if she wants to become someone great! "
"Master, Sister Yannan is actually very powerful," said Gu Yin with a smile.
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Don't put in a good word for her, and don't always look at her. If you have time, you should learn more and help your mother. She's old, and her cultivation talent is not good enough. If she wants to become strong in the future, without special care, it will be difficult for her to get the chance to leave with us."
Gu Yin's expression slightly changed and she immediately replied respectfully, "I understand, Master."
Immediately after.
Tan Xiu returned to Nine Dragons Island with Gu Yin and Kuwako Yamamoto. Before the speedboat reached the shore, Tan Xiu was already standing on the speedboat and saw Cheng Yannan standing angrily on the shore as well as the helpless Mo Awu.
"Tan Xiu, did you do it on purpose?"
Cheng Yannan said angrily when Tan Xiu jumped onto the shore.
With a cold expression, Tan Xiu said in a deep voice, "Did you forget what I told you? You're not allowed to call my name in the future."
Cheng Yannan's breathing stagnated. She suddenly recalled Tan Xiu's identity and status, and her angry expression immediately weakened a lot. But she still said with dissatisfaction, "I know you're the Sect Master now. But I want to ask you something. Why did you throw me to that group of child soldiers? How old are they? 4 years old? 5 years old? 7 or 8 years old? " "Did you think that I haven't stepped into the ranks of cultivation, so you deliberately messed with me?"
"Cheng Yannan, I once accepted you into the Tang Sect because we were classmates, but it doesn't mean I can tolerate your ignorance," said Tan Xiu indifferently. "You think they're young? You think I'm deliberately messing with you? "
Cheng Yannan's expression turned a bit ugly, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Yeah, you made me train with a group of children. What kind of training can I get?"
"You should've been out of the training ground for a long time, haven't you?" asked Tan Xiu.
Cheng Yannan didn't understand Tan Xiu's meaning, but she still nodded and said, "Yeah, I've been waiting for more than 4 hours."
Tan Xiu sneered, "Cheng Yannan, age has never been a problem for cultivators. Only the strong have the qualifications to speak and disdain others. Do you think it's shameful for you to train with a group of children as an adult? "
"Isn't it?"
Cheng Yannan asked back like a hoodlum.
