Chapter 17: Three Day Adaptation Period
Yu Tianlin tentatively replied, "Uncle Yu Jian, do you mean internal organs?"
Seeing that Yu Tianlin could answer with just a slight prompt, Yu Jian smiled in satisfaction and said, "That's right, internal organs. Gravity acts on every part of the body, including muscles, blood vessels, and internal organs."
Noticing Yu Tianlin's thoughtful expression, Yu Jian continued, "Under normal circumstances, no matter how much weight you add or how much training you do, you can only strengthen your muscles. Your internal organs, however, will not be strengthened much and will remain extremely fragile. If this continues, you will eventually become strong on the outside but weak on the inside, leaving hidden weaknesses."
"But training under gravity is different. Gravity affects the internal organs as well. This means your organs must constantly resist the pressure, which is a form of exercise. They will gradually grow stronger until the gravity no longer affects them. Once that point is reached, the strengthening will stop."
Yu Tianlin's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Uncle Yu Jian, I understand everything. So what is our training content today?"
"According to the clan master's instructions, you will undergo physical training in the morning and combat training in the afternoon," Yu Jian said. "Since the morning training focuses entirely on physical ability, I sealed your spirit power. I will naturally unseal it for your afternoon combat training."
"As for physical training, it is still the same old method, mainly running."
Upon hearing that they would be running again, Yu Tianlin felt speechless. Was there truly no other method to train on the Douluo Continent? Even in the original novel, his second uncle Yu Xiaogang used running when subjecting the Shrek Seven Devils to devil training.
Yu Jian continued, "But don't rush. In your current state, you will probably be exhausted after a few minutes of running. You won't be able to run at all. So I will give you three days to adapt to the gravity. Hehe, after three days, the real devil training begins. Just wait and see how I will train you."
After saying this, Yu Jian ignored Yu Tianlin and sat cross-legged on the cushion beside the stone pillar, continuing to channel his spirit power into the pillar to maintain the gravity field.
Yu Tianlin began moving within the gravity field as well. He first tried taking a few steps, then attempted a small jump. Yet even these tiny movements made his breathing grow rapid.
Take it slow, adapt little by little.
Step by step, Yu Tianlin moved toward the wall of the meditation room. Using the wall for support, he started practicing slow movements.
The entire morning passed this way. Yu Tianlin struggled to move his heavy body, panting heavily, feeling utterly exhausted.
Under a gravity field of one time amplification, even walking slowly felt as tiring as sprinting under normal conditions.
"Alright, that's enough for this morning."
The faint yellowish brown light enveloping the meditation room suddenly disappeared, and Yu Jian, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the stone pillar, stood up.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Yu Tianlin immediately felt lighter, his body nearly floating from the sudden lack of pressure. He let out a long breath.
"With your current physical condition, it is quite impressive that you managed to walk slowly under one time gravity without spirit power," Yu Jian said as he approached him. "I estimate that tomorrow you will be able to walk normally, and the day after, you should be able to jog to a certain extent. After that, we can begin your regular training."
Yu Tianlin glanced at him, nodded, and said nothing. He was far too tired to speak.
Yu Jian did not mind. He walked up to Yu Tianlin, placed a hand on his shoulder, and withdrew the seal on his spirit power.
"Oh..."
With the seal lifted, his familiar spirit power surged through his body once more, dispelling his exhaustion and causing him to groan in relief.
For the first time, Yu Tianlin genuinely felt how wonderful spirit power could be. Even during his martial spirit awakening, he hadn't felt this comfortable.
"Alright, go back and eat. In two hours, return to this meditation room for the afternoon combat training."
Seeing Yu Tianlin's weakened state, Yu Jian carried him out of the meditation room and headed toward the clan leader's mansion, Yu Tianlin's home.
"Xiao Lin, you're back." Yu Rou heard the commotion, poked her head out, and saw Yu Jian carrying her exhausted son. "Yu Jian is here too. Stay for lunch."
"No need, young mistress." Yu Jian shook his head, declining politely. Then he asked, "Young mistress, how are the preparations for the medicinal liquids that the clan disciples need after training?"
Looking at her tired son, Yu Rou's heart ached. She said, "The medicinal liquid was prepared long ago and is in Xiao Lin's room."
"My room is over there."
Yu Tianlin pointed weakly, and Yu Jian said nothing further, carrying him straight to his room.
After pushing open the door and confirming that a large wooden bucket filled with brown liquid was inside, Yu Jian tossed Yu Tianlin onto the bed.
"You can handle the rest yourself. Soak in the medicinal liquid properly. This formula was developed by the predecessors of our clan after much research. Its main functions are to relax muscles and tendons, strengthen the body, and nourish vitality. It is especially suitable for use after strenuous exercise."
"If you soak for one or two hours, you won't feel sore during the afternoon's combat training."
After saying that, Yu Jian turned and left, closing the door behind him.
Once Yu Jian left, Yu Tianlin climbed off the bed, quickly stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the large wooden tub.
As soon as he entered the warm brown medicinal liquid, a comforting heat spread through his body, as if the warmth was seeping into his bones.
The liquid was still warm, so it must have been prepared recently.
Yu Tianlin leaned back against the tub, idly stirring the liquid. A faint herbal fragrance drifted upward.
As he breathed in the aroma, his thoughts began to wander.
Speaking of herbs, shouldn't I find time to properly study them, especially the rare ones? Otherwise, even if I manage to reach Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well one day, I won't be able to recognize a single thing.
