Chapter 1951: Training the Child

"I only know this one, and it's just sitting; I can't help in fighting! Teach me a method that can fight!"

Xiao Lan'er also looked at Ye Liuyun expectantly.

Ye Liuyun laughed and let her try punching him.

"Then be careful and protect yourself! I can break a tree!"

She also reminded Ye Liuyun.

Xiao Lan'er used True Essence and punched Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw that her technique and fist method were integrated.

When she threw the punch, the technique automatically activated, mobilizing True Essence.

However, she hasn't even reached the Divine Realm yet, so that amount of True Essence obviously can't affect Ye Liuyun.

She looked at her little fist herself and sighed that her strength was too small.

Ye Liuyun then explained to her: "You must have patience, be able to sit still, in order to cultivate enough True Essence so that the punches you throw have power.

Think about it yourself: if you have no strength, even if you know techniques, you can't knock a person down.

And once you have strength, even if you don't know any techniques, any punch can knock a person down! Right?"

Xiao Lan'er thought for a moment and nodded heavily.

Ye Liuyun also said: "So your training is simply to sit here and cultivate.

Two double‑hours each in the morning, afternoon, and evening, then go to sleep.

No eating or sleeping until cultivation is finished.

Can you endure hardship?"

"I can!"

Xiao Lan'er said firmly.

"Very well, then our training starts now!"

Ye Liuyun immediately had Xiao Lan'er sit down to begin cultivating.

But after only a quarter‑hour of sitting, she stopped and asked Ye Liuyun whether the time had arrived.

"Not yet, it's still early!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

But Xiao Lan'er kept asking repeatedly, soon irritating Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun immediately stuck another branch outside the cave, then told her where the branch's shadow fell, indicating when the two double‑hours would be up.

He told her to watch it herself from now on and not ask again.

However, Xiao Lan'er hadn't formed the habit of cultivation; she would ask for water, then to relieve herself, always finding excuses to run outside.

Ye Liuyun then had He Lian Xiu watch her while he went outside to cultivate.

But after a while, He Lian Xiu couldn't stand it any longer and went to complain to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought and had his clone release a Divine Realm‑level Demon Wolf.

He, in front of Xiao Lan'er, told the Demon Wolf: "Guard the cave entrance and watch her.

If the time hasn't arrived, she must stay here to cultivate.

If she moves recklessly, you must bite her dead."

But he secretly gave the Demon Wolf a Transmission Voice, instructing it only to scare Xiao Lan'er, not to actually bite or scratch her.

At most, it may use True Essence to seal her inside the cave, preventing her from leaving.

Moreover, if danger arises, the Demon Wolf must protect Xiao Lan'er.

When Xiao Lan'er saw a snarling Demon Wolf radiating Demon Qi and a fierce aura staring at her, she immediately became obedient, frightened into staying quietly in the cave to cultivate, never daring to move again.

"You still have a way!"

He Lian Xiu praised.

The mercenaries, seeing Ye Liuyun use this method on Xiao Lan'er, couldn't help but laugh.

They all knew Ye Liuyun's intentions were kind, so no one rebuked him.

From inside the cave, Xiao Lan'er could still see Ye Liuyun and the others from afar, so she wasn't too afraid.

Moreover, if she cultivates earnestly, the Demon Wolf won't attack her; it just lies on the side watching.

But as soon as she stops cultivating, the Demon Wolf emits a low growl to threaten her.

Of course, during breaks, Ye Liuyun lets her run wild, even rewarding her with a piece of grilled meat, saying her later performance was good.

While resting, Tu Yazi also received from Ye Liuyun a higher‑grade Qi‑refining technique and a set of fists.

Although not as good as Ye Liuyun's own technique, it was a premium from the Library of the Southern Royal Mansion, far stronger than the methods he previously cultivated.

The others, upon seeing it, felt even more gratitude toward Ye Liuyun.

"After I master this technique, can I teach it to Xiao Lan'er?"

Tu Yazi still kept Xiao Lan'er in mind.

"You may teach everyone else, but not her! She has her own cultivation technique; don't ruin it!"

Ye Liuyun warned Tu Yazi and also admonished the others.

"What technique is Xiao Lan'er cultivating?

Previously, once while she was cultivating, she suddenly fainted!"

Lao Wei asked Ye Liuyun.

"Fainted?"

Ye Liuyun, also puzzled, said: "I've seen her technique; I don't know its name, but she has no problem cultivating it!"

"Aoo!"

Suddenly, the Demon Wolf guarding Xiao Lan'er let out a cry and summoned Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun used Divine Sense to look and found that Xiao Lan'er had actually fainted.

He hurried over, and Lao Wei and the others immediately followed.

Ye Liuyun examined carefully with Golden Pupil and discovered that a bit of the sealed energy in Xiao Lan'er's body had been released.

It is estimated that this sealed energy will be released little by little according to her cultivation level's needs.

But Xiao Lan'er, facing the suddenly released energy, cannot absorb or guide it.

After she faints, the True Essence in her body automatically circulates, slowly absorbing that energy.

"It was like this before; after waking, there was no problem at all, no discomfort whatsoever!"

Lao Wei moved to pick up Xiao Lan'er.

Ye Liuyun immediately stopped him, explaining to them, "Don't move her; she'll get better on her own! It's nothing, just a problem caused by her irregular cultivation.

Once she gets used to cultivating, this kind of problem will disappear!"

Sure enough, after an hour, Xiao Lan'er woke up on her own.

Ye Liuyun promptly went over to ask her about the situation.

"What did it feel like at the time?"

Xiao Lan'er thought for a while, tried to speak but couldn't, and finally sighed, "I can't put it into words!"

Ye Liuyun, however, knew that it was probably a restriction placed on her, fearing that others would covet her energy and prevent her from speaking.

Ye Liuyun smiled and told her, "It's okay if you can't say it.

In the future, if you encounter this again, you must desperately accelerate the True Essence's circulation and never stop cultivating.

As long as you hold on, the energy that bursts out suddenly will be absorbed by you, making you stronger!

But you must never tell outsiders this secret! Otherwise it will bring danger to you and those around you!"

Upon hearing that it would endanger those around her, Xiao Lan'er immediately nodded in agreement.

Thus, Xiao Lan'er was trained by Ye Liuyun for a day, and she slept soundly and sweetly that night.

The others were also trained by Ye Tiandao for a day, but they had no time to rest and still had to keep pushing through.

Although a day yielded little effect, their discipline improved considerably.

During training they no longer joked or chatted, and they fully obeyed orders.

Ye Tiandao doesn't look after them, cares about neither gender, and will directly punish disobedience.
