Chapter 434

Bang!

In the spacious training ground, Dai Luoli was slammed hard onto the ground.

Tang Wulin crooked his finger at him.

Is that not enough?

Dai Luoli heaved two heavy breaths and let out a roar.

Of course not yet! Come again!

Having said that, he charged forward again.

Then, as expected, he was instantly knocked down by Tang Wulin.

This time, he struggled for a while but still couldn't get up.

Tang Wulin squatted down and pressed him down.

That's enough for today; going too far is as bad as not enough.

While saying that, he also transmitted a stream of pure life force into Dai Luoli's body.

Mmm...

Dai Luoli felt a warm current flow from Tang Wulin's palm into his body, and he instantly went limp, collapsing to the ground.

He weakly asked:

"Master, have I really gotten stronger? I feel like I haven't grown at all."

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"You have become stronger; if you fought your self from a week ago, you would easily defeat that former self."

"If that's truly the case, that would be great."

Dai Luoli let out a long sigh.

A week ago, Sea God Pavilion Master Tang Wulin suddenly offered to help White Tiger Duke Dai Hao train his young son Dai Luoli.

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao was overjoyed and readily agreed.

At first, Dai Luoli didn't think much of this boy who was younger than him, believing that he could become Sea God Pavilion Master solely because of his good cultivation talent and high soul power level, and that there was nothing remarkable about him.

However, when Tang Wulin suppressed his own soul power and physical condition to match Dai Luoli's level, he still easily defeated him, and Dai Luoli was utterly convinced.

From that day on, he began to change his address for Tang Wulin to 'Master'.

At first, Tang Wulin wanted to correct him, since he had no intention of taking on disciples, but after realizing this kid refused to change his way of speaking, he lost the interest in forcing him to change.

However, after that, his strikes became noticeably stronger.

Over the past week or so, Dai Luoli felt as if he spent his time being continuously beaten.

Tang Wulin didn't need to rely on soul power level or physical prowess to bully him; he used pure technique to spar with him, thereby training his combat ability.

Although Tang Wulin's combat skills can't compare to experts like Du Budie, they are more than enough to overwhelm a layman like Dai Luoli.

After a week, Dai Luoli indeed felt his progress, but he still couldn't land a single hit on Tang Wulin, which is why he asked that somewhat petulant question just now.

At that moment, the wooden door of the training ground was pushed open, and a petite girl in white robes walked in carrying a lunch box.

Instantly, Dai Luoli's eyes widened; he jumped up from the ground and darted to the girl's front.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin helplessly shook his head, also rose, and came to the girl's side.

Dai Luoli eagerly asked:

"Madam, what dish did you make today?"

The girl obviously liked being called 'Madam', and she said with a smiling face:

"Braised pork with bean sprouts—I remember you like it, right?" "Mmm! Madam is the best!"

Dai Luoli's eyes lit up as he stared fixedly at the lunch box in the girl's hand, continuously swallowing his saliva, looking utterly famished.

If Tang Wulin brought him only endless pain, then this girl named Huo Yutong brought him nothing short of a paradise of food.

As the third young master of the White Tiger Duke's family, although he often faced oppression from the duchess in the duke's mansion, he had still seen some of the world, having tasted various mountain delicacies and seafood a few times; yet no matter how luxurious the ingredients, the dishes made by Huo Yutong would pale in comparison.

This is a qualitative gap; he dares to bet that even the Star Net Empire's top chef would be defeated before Huo Yutong.

In these past few days, eating Huo Yutong's meals after training has become his greatest motivation to persevere.

After all, anyone can see that Huo Yutong's meals are meant for Tang Wulin; he's just getting them incidentally, and if he stops training, he'll likely never get to eat such delicious food again.

As a result, he stubbornly relied on this determination to make it to today.

Even Tang Wulin was somewhat surprised.

He took the lunch box from Huo Yutong's hand and asked Dai Luoli:

"By the way, the White Tiger Duke said he originally didn't want you to enlist, but you, Dai Luoli, insisted on doing so, so he had no choice but to let you follow him; what are you insisting on for?"

Upon hearing his question, Dai Luoli's face instantly turned red.

He stammered: "No, it's none of your business."

"Roar~" Tang Wulin instantly became interested, saying, "Look at you like this—did you fall for some girl? Is she from the camp?"

No, not at all!

Dai Luoli rubbed his head hard, then finally sighed dejectedly.

I like Imperial Princess Xu Yun; she is beyond my talent and status, and I know I can't aspire to her, so I wanted to try to earn military merit in the army to rise above others, but looking at the situation now, I'm probably just indulging in a foolish daydream.

As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Compared to his two exceptionally talented older brothers, who are also legitimate heirs, he simply falls short in every way.

Just then, he suddenly felt a hard blow to his head.

Ah!

In pain, he lifted his head and was surprised to discover that the one who struck him was the usually gentle Huo Yutong.

Huo Yutong said sternly:

You can't say such things; if even you yourself think there's no hope, then everything is hopeless. Actually, you've already become better than you imagined.

Any?

Of course.

This time, Tang Wulin answered him, taking a bite of the rice Huo Yutong made, extending his thumb, and pointing at the target not far away.

If you don't believe me, why not try using the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave again to shoot that target?

?

Dai Luoluo didn't understand, but he obediently put down his lunch box, stood up, and released his martial soul.

As his second soul ring lit up, a White Tiger Blazing Light Wave shot out from his mouth.

Soon, the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave hit the target, shattering it instantly.

This...

Dai Luoluo was stunned.

Before, he had also used the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave to attack the target, but he couldn't cause this much damage.

Why did the damage suddenly increase? What he didn't know was that Tang Wulin's reason for beating him up was not only to train his combat skills, but more importantly to inject him with a stream of pure life force after he was exhausted.
