29: train

Upon hearing Ning's command, Hyesi started climbing trees again, then fell, making his body stronger.

Ning just sighed as he watched the boy do this.

"Child, what exactly do you want to do?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Inikaka, I'm trying to jump up and down on trees so I can get stronger."

Hyesi's answer made Ning feel it was meaningless.

So, he decided to ask, "What's the point of that? Will jumping up and down on trees make you stronger?"

"Yes.

Only when the Clavians feel no pain when falling from the top of a tree are they considered strong.

So, I keep climbing up and down so I don't feel any pain."

Ning was surprised to hear this, "Oh, does it work? Have you gotten stronger?"

"Yes."

Hyesi said with a smile.

He seemed very satisfied with the results.

Ning was even more surprised to hear that such a foolish method actually worked.

"Wait, have you really gotten stronger? Can you hit harder now? Or lift heavier weights?" Ning decided to ask.

"Uh, Inikaka, not really.

I'm getting stronger, but I can't do those things yet.

Maybe it will happen soon."

Hyesi said, becoming gloomy again.

"Why do they say they've gotten stronger?"

Hyesi thought for a moment and replied, "Ever since I learned that not feeling pain after falling from the top of a tree is a sign of strength, I've been doing this every day.

Although it hurt a lot at first, slowly I stopped feeling the pain.

The more I fell, the less pain I felt.

So I should be getting stronger and stronger, right?"

Ning was silent for a moment, "Damn it!

This kid has fallen so much that he's numb to the pain."

"How long have you been doing this?" he asked.

Hyesi counted the days and replied, "About halfway between the last day I was born and today."

"Half? So six months?

This kid has been doing this for six months, poor child, not even the Villagers told him what to do."

"Alright, I'll teach you a faster way to get stronger.

Do as I say, and you will become strong."

"Yes, Inikaka."

Hyesi would obey every word of his God.

All day, Ning made Hyesi do several different exercises.

He made him do hundreds of squats and hundreds of push-ups.

The same with sit-ups.

He also made him run through the forest from one end of the island to the other.

Hyesi ran about two or three kilometers.

After learning from Hyesi that the island was round, he could finally imagine how big the island actually was.

Instead of running through the middle, Ning made Hyesi run along the beach.

Hyesi was running and saw several figures in the distance.

He immediately ran towards them.

"Who are they?" Ning saw these people from a distance and thought to himself.

"Chief, everyone, are you alright?" Hyesi asked as soon as he reached the group.

"Chief?" Ning finally recognized who these people were.

He had only seen them once before he was taken away, but he remembered who the leader of the group that found him was.

Looking at everyone in the group in rags, Ning looked at the fishing nets and spears in everyone's hands and thought to himself, 'Why do they look like they just went through a war, aren't they just here to fish?'

"Oh right, they were just talking about killing something in the village?

Is that why they were fighting?" Ning looked around the beach for bodies, but found none.

"Where is their target?" he wondered.

In his opinion, the people here were very strong and could kill anything they wanted to kill.

"Oh my, Hyesi, what are you doing here?" one of the ladies asked.

"I was trying to make myself stronger by running on the beach," Hyesi said.

If Ning hadn't told Hyesi not to talk about him the first time he ran through the forest, he might have said something now.

"Go back, kid.

The demon could return at any moment now.

It's a good thing we sent you back yesterday.

Otherwise, with your weak body, you would definitely be dead today."

The Chief spoke as soon as he saw Hyesi.

Hyesi's eyes became wild.

"Did you fight against Fuvuriki?" he asked.

"Yes.

We encountered the demon and fought it.

However, we were wrong.

The demon has grown and become much stronger than we expected.

And his magic has also become stronger."

"If this continues, we might also come back empty-handed."

The Chief said.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sound came from the sea.

"Run!!!" the Chief shouted at Hyesi.

Hyesi didn't hesitate for a moment.

He knew he was weak, so as soon as the Chief shouted, he ran.

Ning only saw a column of water erupt from the sea, and something emerged from below.

But because Hyesi had his back to the sea, he couldn't see anything anymore.

A few minutes later, Hyesi returned home.

The people in the village saw him running frantically and asked him what happened.

Hyesi only repeated what the Chief had told him.

When the people heard that the demon named Fuvuriki was stronger than they had imagined, they began to worry.

Bellini came to Hyesi and hugged him.

"It's alright, son.

You ran away very well.

If the demon is strong, then at most you can only be a hindrance, and at worst, death."

Bellini tried to comfort Hyesi, but it seemed like an insult to him.

"I promised my mother.

I will become stronger than I am now, and I will definitely kill the monster Fuvuri."]}
