"Ye Xing, you will be in charge of the canteen's daily water needs. One hundred thousand catties a day. You must finish before sunset!"
"Ye Feng, you will be in charge of the canteen's daily firewood needs. One hundred and fifty thousand catties a day. You must finish chopping before sunset!"
Ye Xing and Ye Feng reported to the canteen. Ye Xing was led to the water storage room while Ye Feng was led to the firewood storage courtyard. The canteen deacon assigned them their tasks.
The disciples assigned to the canteen were not only Ye Xing and Ye Feng. Some of the other disciples were assigned to the mountain to chop firewood, while others were assigned to light the fire. They were all tiring tasks.
Other than Ye Xing and Ye Feng who were the main family disciples, the rest of the disciples assigned to the canteen were all disciples with different surnames!
In the Yeh family's main family, being assigned to the canteen was basically a good-for-nothing. This was because the canteen disciples had never produced an elder-level character before. Those who could become deacons of the main family were also extremely rare!
The water storage room was very spacious. There were two huge pools in the room. Each pool could hold one hundred thousand catties of water.
The Ye family had a large population and the amount of water they consumed every day was astonishing. The water in one pool was only enough for the Ye family to consume for a day.
Whenever the water in the first pool was used, the second pool would be filled to the brim. Whenever the water in the second pool was used, the first pool would be filled to the brim.
Repeating this process, one hundred thousand catties of water every day!
Ye Xing stood in the middle of the water storage room. His gaze swept across the containers used to carry water and he chose a huge water tank. There was a note beside it stating that this water tank weighed two hundred catties and could hold one thousand catties of water!
Ye Xing felt that the other buckets and small vats were too little and too troublesome to carry water back and forth. However, this large vats only needed to be filled a hundred times to fill up the pool that could hold a hundred kilograms of water.
When Ye Xing first came to the Star Continent and occupied the body of the original owner, he was only about 1.65 meters tall. In the past month, Ye Xing had cultivated the Perfect Bone Explosive Fist to perfection. His body had also strengthened greatly and he had grown a lot taller. His current height was close to 1.8 meters.
However, compared to the huge water tank that could hold a thousand catties of water, his body was still very frail.
Ye Xing walked to the front of the huge water vat and lifted it up by one hand. The huge water vat was like a small bag in Ye Xing's hand. It didn't take him much effort to lift it.
The place where the water was fetched was not far from the water storage room. It was only about one li away. Ye Xing carried the large water jar and walked as if he was flying. He arrived very quickly.
Ye Xing grabbed the edge of the large water vat with one hand and the bottom of the vat with the other. He scooped some water into the vat and then bent his body. He held his breath and used all his strength to lift the vat.
With a splash, the large water tank filled with water was dehydrated in an instant. Ye Xing lifted it up and carried it on his shoulder.
A thousand catties of water, a two hundred catties tank …
Even if the water tank wasn't 100% full, it wasn't empty either. The weight of the water and the tank added together was at least one thousand and one hundred catties.
An ordinary third stage martial artist wouldn't feel good carrying one thousand and one hundred catties of water. It would be even more difficult for them to walk.
However, Ye Xing carried the large water tank and walked with big strides like the wind.
Soon, Ye Xing returned to the water storage room and poured the water into the pool. His face wasn't red and he wasn't out of breath. He carried the large water tank and walked as if he was flying as he went to fetch more water.
Ye Xing carried the large water tank back and forth. On the way, many Ye Clan members saw him carry the large water tank back and forth. They didn't find it strange. There was once a group of people carrying water in the canteen who used this method to fetch water.
However, what they didn't know was that the people who used this method to fetch water were all martial artists who had reached the fourth stage of the martial path. If it was a martial disciple, they would obediently use a bucket to fetch water.
Although Ye Xing's strength was great and he could carry the large water tank once or twice without any problem, after five or six times, he was still a bit out of breath and felt a bit of pressure.
When Ye Xing fetched the tenth tank of water, his breathing was already a bit hurried. He met with a group of youths.
They were the new disciples of the Martial Arts Hall. Every morning, they would have the same training and then they would have free time.
In the morning, they had to run ten laps around the Ye Clan's residence. There was a part of the route that just happened to cross the path that Ye Xing took to fetch water. Now, they just happened to meet.
"Look, isn't that a two-star trash? Haha … he's fetching water!"
A mocking voice came from the group. It was Ye Baiyuan. "He always refuses to admit that he's a good-for-nothing. He thinks that he's a genius just because he shined during the strength test. However, isn't carrying water the job of a good-for-nothing? Haha …! "
"Senior Baiyuan is right!"
"Senior Baiyuan, compared to you, he's obviously trash …!"
… …
As soon as Ye Baiyuan's voice fell, the voices of many youths echoed.
Ye Xing even heard Ye Qing's voice among them.
The group of youths was in the middle of a long-distance run. Their speed was not slow, and they ran over in the blink of an eye. Ye Xing carried the large water tank. His expression did not change, but he was already angry at Ye Baiyuan in his heart.
He and Ye Baiyuan didn't have any interactions. It could be said that they minded their own business. However, Ye Baiyuan repeatedly insulted him.
Ye Xing had a plan in his heart. If there was a chance, he would definitely teach Ye Baiyuan a lesson.
The disciples of the Martial Arts Hall only ran ten laps around the Ye Clan. The chances of them meeting Ye Xing while fetching water was very low. After a few more rounds of fetching water, Ye Xing didn't meet them again.
However, as the number of times he fetched water increased, Ye Xing felt more and more pressure. It was as if the water tank on his shoulder was getting heavier and heavier.
Carrying a large tank of water while walking, not only was he gasping for breath, even the muscles in his entire body were aching.
Especially the muscles in his legs and arms, the feeling was the most intense.
On the twentieth round of fetching water, Ye Xing carried the large water tank and walked less than half of the distance. He was completely unable to take another step. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead.
Ye Xing knew that this time it would be very strenuous. However, he didn't expect that it would be to the extent where his legs couldn't take another step. Now that he was carrying a large tank of water, it wasn't easy to put it down and his legs felt as if they were filled with lead. This caused him to fall into a dilemma.
Being stuck in a deadlock halfway wasn't a solution. Ye Xing carried the large water tank and stood in the same place. He tried to operate the Xuan Qing Technique. In an instant, the surging power of the stars was absorbed by the ten meridians and transported to all parts of his body. Ye Xing felt that the soreness and exhaustion in his body suddenly lessened by a lot.
Moreover, what surprised Ye Xing was that his body at this moment was like a starving beggar who had seen a large amount of delicious food. It was madly absorbing the power of the stars at a much faster speed than normal.
It was more than twice as fast!
"When the body is tired, the body's muscle energy will be greatly consumed. At this time, it is urgently needed to replenish energy. Therefore, the speed of absorbing the power of the stars is faster than normal. Doesn't that mean that if I cultivate in this state, my cultivation speed will be greatly increased?"
Ye Xing's superbrain spun, and he immediately understood.
"If I cultivate while working and cultivate faster, then I don't need to wait until tonight. Today, my cultivation can break through to the fourth stage of the Martial Path!"
Thinking that the time to break through to the fourth stage of the Martial Path was brought forward, Ye Xing was overjoyed.
After standing in the same place and cultivating for a while, Ye Xing felt that the soreness and exhaustion had almost disappeared by eighty to ninety percent. At the same time, the speed of his body absorbing the power of the stars had also decreased. It was no different from normal.
It seems that only when the body is extremely tired can it maintain a fast cultivation speed.
"Since that's the case, then I will carry the water tank and cultivate at the same time. I will always keep my body in a state of exhaustion but not falling down!"
Ye Xing thought to himself. He carried the large water tank and continued to walk forward.
Normal people had to be focused when doing things. They could not be distracted.
For example, when cultivating XuanQin, they had to be quiet and not be disturbed. When walking with the water tank, they could only walk with the water tank. They could not do anything else.
If they forced themselves to do two things at the same time, it was very likely that problems would occur. For example, the cultivation of XuanQin would be messed up, and they would fall down while carrying the water tank.
However, for Ye Xing who had the super brain, multitasking was not a problem at all. As long as he wanted to, he could even multitask. The super brain was so powerful that it could allow Ye Xing to multitask and focus on two things at the same time.
For example, when Ye Xing carried the water tank and walked, his cultivation of XuanQin was under the control of the super brain. There was not a single mistake.
After walking for a while, Ye Xing felt that he was not tired enough, so he decided to just run.
As expected, running while carrying something that weighed more than 500 kilograms was much more difficult than walking. Ye Xing did not run for long before he panted heavily. All the muscles in his body, especially the muscles in his legs, were extremely sore.
At that moment, Ye Xing's cultivation speed of XuanQin was much faster than usual. It was at its fastest speed.
His body kept absorbing the power of the stars, and it slightly reduced the soreness and fatigue in his body. However, when Ye Xing carried the water tank and ran, it quickly made the soreness and fatigue in his body worse.
Just like that, he fell into a cycle. Ye Xing's cultivation speed of XuanQin did not decrease at all.
The only thing that was tested was Ye Xing's willpower. His legs did not reach the point where they could not move, as if they were filled with lead. However, with every step he took, he would feel an intense soreness. A normal person would definitely not be able to endure it.
However, Ye Xing gritted his teeth. His running speed did not decrease at all.
"I want to become a Warrior Saint!
"I want to become a peerless elite!
"I want to become a man above all others! A king among kings! "
…
Ye Xing shouted in his heart.
A person who had an ideal and persisted in it was terrifying. Their willpower was indestructible.
Ye Xing was such a person.
Twenty-first time … Twenty-second time … Twenty-first time …
Ye Xing did not rest. He carried a full tank of water time and time again. He ran back to the water storage room and poured the water into the pool.
At the same time, his cultivation base rose at an alarming rate every time he fetched water. The fourth ring in his dantian gradually grew clearer and clearer.
Ninety-first time …
Ye Xing was still running while carrying a full tank of water. His cultivation had also reached the most critical juncture. At a certain moment, the fourth star ring finally changed from its dim and hazy state. It released its first ray of starlight and became clear.
The fourth star ring was completely clear.
Ye Xing's cultivation had taken an important step. He had entered the fourth stage of the Martial Dao and become a true martial artist.
