Super Soldier in Campus

Chapter 1162 - 1167: Cultivation Is Like Rowing Against the Current

Lin Feng noticed a change in the expressions of Wang Zikai and the other two, naturally inferring that the three of them had relaxed their training, causing him to feel a bit annoyed."Have all three of you not been keeping up with your training? Are you treating my words like air?"

Lin Feng lowered his voice slightly, speaking with a slightly cold tone.

"No... Brother Feng, listen to my explanation!"

"Brother Feng, you’ve misunderstood!"

"It’s not what you think..."

The three of Wang Zikai saw Lin Feng’s change of face, and their expressions coincidentally altered as they hurriedly began to explain.

"Let’s hear it then?" Lin Feng, seeing how tense they looked, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Let me explain!" Wang Zikai glanced at Yang Ming and Zhong Jialiang before volunteering to speak, "Brother Feng, in fact, we initially followed your instructions, ensuring enough intensity to train the body. We exercised for two hours of physical training daily, but after persisting for some time, we noticed our bodies began to feel a bit off..."

Upon hearing Wang Zikai say this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown nervously, "In what way did it feel off?"

"I was the first to feel like something was wrong..." Wang Zikai said to Lin Feng. "Every time I trained to a certain extent, I started to feel this strange swelling sensation, as if it was emanating from my bones, a bit bloated, a bit painful. But when I went to see the doctor, they said nothing was wrong, just over-exhaustion, and advised me to rest well. If I didn’t train, this odd swelling sensation wouldn’t appear..."

"At first, we thought only Kai Zi was having body issues! But later, both Liang Zai and I experienced the same situation, and that’s when we felt something wasn’t right..." Yang Ming chimed in, speaking to Lin Feng with a peculiar look.

"That’s right!" Wang Zikai continued, "Liang Zai and Yang Ming also experienced the swelling sensation after intense exercise, so we temporarily reduced our exercise volume and waited for you, Brother Feng, to return and discuss..."

Only then did Lin Feng’s expression change slightly. He reached out his hand to touch Wang Zikai’s pulse gate while somewhat displeased, asking, "Why didn’t you call me earlier about this?!"

"Brother Feng..." Wang Zikai smiled bitterly at Lin Feng, "We know you’re a person who handles big matters, and leaving school definitely means you’re attending to important things. We three have been to the hospital for checks and found nothing wrong; how could we have the nerve to disturb you?"

"Fools..." Lin Feng hummed discontentedly, "Your bodies might be fine, but you’ve missed the chance to enhance your Kungfu! That’s your biggest loss!"

Originally, Lin Feng forced Wang Zikai and the others, whose meridians he had expanded, to keep up high-intensity training, intending to see if these guys could maintain their cultivation and allow their not-so-powerful Inner Strength to strengthen by a level!

To know, a master at the second level of Inner Strength compared to a novice at the first level is a completely different concept!

Someone at the first level of Inner Strength can merely be considered an elementary student; someone at the second level has already gained preliminary combat power!

Lin Feng initially thought even if Wang Zikai and the others made progress, they wouldn’t react that quickly. Who would’ve expected these three guys to sense the fullness of their meridians within a short two months!

This indeed was a good thing; only when the meridian can’t accommodate the Inner Strength within the body, would there appear a feeling of meridian fullness and heat. The body then urgently needs to upgrade the meridian level. Once the usable meridian is expanded, cultivation naturally rises.

However, what dampened Lin Feng’s spirits is that when he checked Wang Zikai’s pulse, he discovered this guy’s Inner Strength in the meridian had already receded to the point where it was at most mid-level of the first level of Inner Strength!

These three guys simply wasted a great opportunity and relaxed their cultivation, causing their cultivation to deteriorate! Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed...

"Missed the chance to enhance Kungfu?" Wang Zikai repeated Lin Feng’s words, then, with a somewhat peculiar expression, asked, "Brother Feng, do you mean the reason our bodies were swelling at that time was because our Kungfu was about to take a huge leap forward?!"

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded.

Wang Zikai and the other two instantly showed a hint of excitement on their faces. Having gone through this period of cultivation, they realized they were practicing the Inner Strength taught by Lin Feng. Hearing that their cultivation could rise, naturally, they were delighted...

"But, even when such major events occurred, you three didn’t contact me proactively to discuss, thus wasting the opportunity! Now not only cannot you break through, but your cultivation has regressed significantly... Without a month of training, it’s impossible to return to the peak period!" Lin Feng’s next words shattered the three’s fantasies...

"Can’t be..." Wang Zikai let out a painful wail, "Brother Feng, don’t treat us like this..."

Zhong Jialiang and Yang Ming also looked at Lin Feng with faces filled with disappointment and shock.

"I’m not deceiving you!" Lin Feng maintained a serious demeanor and said earnestly, "The way of cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don’t cultivate, the stream naturally drags you back to your original position, even further back... the same goes for doing anything, being too relaxed won’t lead to success!"

"Alright then..." Wang Zikai asked somewhat dejectedly, "Is there still a chance for us to progress, Brother Feng? Won’t relaxing for this one month mean we won’t have any chance to progress in the future?"

"I don’t know either. Just follow what I say from now on; whether or not you progress depends on your luck!" Lin Feng said to Wang Zikai with a stern face.

If Wang Zikai and the other two are talented cultivators, regardless of how slowly they progress, with serious cultivation, there’s always a chance of reaching the second level of Inner Strength someday. But Wang Zikai and the other two’s luck meridians were imitated by Lin Feng using the Yin Yang Life Changing Needle as a knock-off product, so whether or not they can break through the barrier to reach Inner Strength level two, Lin Feng isn’t too sure.

"Alright, Brother Feng, from now on I’ll follow you! No matter what you say, I’ll do it, absolutely won’t slack off anymore!" Wang Zikai, at this time, felt extremely regretful. Although Lin Feng had fortified his body, giving him more confidence in front of Yi Hongmei, Wang Zikai had still little say in front of the assertive Yi Hongmei. Hearing Lin Feng say he missed the chance to get stronger, Wang Zikai truly felt remorse.

Zhong Jialiang and Yang Ming, although currently not having girlfriends, shared similar sentiments to Wang Zikai; they were also young men, naturally not wishing for their strengths to weaken...

"Alright then, since you have the resolve, let me see if I can help you recover your cultivation to its previous stage within a week!" Lin Feng said with a cheerful smile while looking at Wang Zikai and the other two.
