Chapter 218. Harsh training Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
In the training room, Ren was clutching the wooden sword in his hand while striking a dummy in front of him.
Every time he swung the sword, his hands were getting accustomed to the weight of the sword and the sensation of hitting the dummy.
Xian Ju had told him to start from this and not stop until he told him to.
Ren can only oblige since he was the disciple here and Xian Ju"s appearance was just too scary to refuse.
It was just basic and he thought that he would hit the dummy ten times, hundred times but even after hitting it for over an hour, there was no command to stop.
"When it will end?"
His arms started going numb and his back was filled with cold sweat. He was glancing at Xian Ju who was sitting on the corner but his expression was blank.
There"s no saying when Ren will be able to stop!
He knew that the training would be harsh but he had never thought that he would have to hit a dummy for over an hour.
If not for his stamina and perseverance, he would have already fallen.
"Ah, I am so tired…."
Finally after another hour, Ren was finally able to rest. His chest was heaving up and down and White bear was fanning him with his handkerchief.
Looking at his sorry state, Xian Ju said.
"You should give up if you feel tired from just that. Here at this dojo, there"s no need for laziness, we only believe in harsh training. You should get up, so we can start our spar."
"Spar?"
"Yes, you will learn true skills from spars. Come, I will go easy on you since you are just starting."
Xian Ju said with a smile but for some reason that smile seems to be ominous to Ren. He felt a s.h.i.+ver run down his spine.
* * *
"Uwoooh."
"Xin Ren, get up!! You will die if you do this on a battlefield. Do you want to die?"
"I, I can"t. Let me die.…"
Ren was currently on the ground, groaning with pain all over his body. In front of him was Xian Ju who was looking like a demon to Ren.
If Ren can, he wants to spar with a disciple rather than an instructor but he has no choice but to spar a devil like Xian Ju.
"What do you mean you can"t!?"
Xian Ju ordered Ren to give it all.
The start of the spar was not like this. In the start, Ren has fought on equal grounds with Xian Ju, even managing to block his attacks.
But as the fight escalated, Xian Ju started giving it his all, pus.h.i.+ng Ren to the corner and then on the ground.
"Get up!"
After getting frustrated, Xian Ju straight on pulled Ren up by his collar. White bear who was watching all of this from the side couldn"t help but close his eyes.
He prayed for Ren"s safety as that was the only thing he could do.
Now that things had come to this, Ren was angry but he can"t do anything. Xian Ju was a trained martial artist while he was a mere celebrity.
If Ren had known that this harsh training was because of a handsome guy who had stolen Xian Ju"s first love, then Ren would have cursed that guy to death.
"I can"t continue."
"Yes, you can!"
"My body won"t move."
"It will!"
When Xian Ju pulled up Ren, he was getting triggered.
"Put up your guard and do something!"
Xian Ju was telling him to do something but what can he do? The wooden sword in his hand was feeling heavy, he even dropped it.
There was no strength left in his body at all.
"I give up, I give up."
"I already told you to fight like a man. Are you a sissy?"
"No, I am not."
"GET UP!"
Ren was really starting to get annoyed now. Xian Ju was older than him but mentally, Ren was a lot older than him. He refused to take such treatment.
"I said, GET UP!"
Ren was on his limits now. Using his hands, Ren grabbed on Xian Ju"s neck and….
"You f.u.c.ker."
He bit Xian Ju"s hair with his teeth.
"Ah! What are you doing!? Xin Ren… Ak! Let go! Let go! Let go!"
Gnas.h.i.+ng on his hair, Ren pulled back as though my life depended on it.
His strange actions made White bear silent but he didn"t have the time to pay attention to something like that.
"T-This is a warning! Let go! I said, LET GO!"
"This hair, I"ll bite it off. I swear I"ll bite it off."
"Y-You…!"
In the end, the last thing Ren saw was a fist coming at his stomach and the fading lights.
It was bad that no media was there or it would have made the headlines for sure.
* * *
Sitting in a dark room, a man was closely staring at the poster in front of him. He was holding a sharp knife in his hand.
It was a tattered poster but someone"s face was clear on it. It was Ren"s face and the poster was from «A born star».
"I won"t let you go…."
The man muttered slowly, anger clearly visible in his eyes. His face can"t be seen but his eyes were s.h.i.+ning from anger.
He moved up from his chair slowly and moved towards the poster. Then, he started stabbing the knife on Ren"s face, slowly but precisely.
"I will kill you."
"I won"t let you off."
"Not after you destroyed my everything."
There was immense hatred in his eyes for Ren, to the point that he wanted to kill him and he would surely take his so-called "revenge".
In the small dark room, the screams and the stabbing sound of the man resounded but it was just a usual thing for him.
He was clearly a mad person but he was now after Ren.
