Chapter 326 The Beginning of the Path of Cultivation

"I won't bother you anymore, is that enough? Please don't bother with me."

Luo Shen then retracted her fingers, stared at Lu Yu unhappily, and said word by word: "Why don't you speak quickly?"

Lu Yu rubbed his waist and said, "I understand, auntie. I can't say it right now... As for cultivation, I have my own unique views."

"I think the most important thing before practicing is to train your body first, just like a long-lasting leather bag."

"The larger the wineskin, the better the wineskin itself is, and the more wine it can hold - just as the stronger the body of the man is."

"This way, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and my soul power cultivation can also improve faster."

"Otherwise, you would just sit there every day, practicing non-stop without any physical training, even with the blessing of the spirit ring."

"But the spirit master's own body's explosive power, speed, agility... will all decrease, which is fatal at a critical moment..."

Luo Shen nodded in agreement, and then asked seriously: "Then tell me, how should we exercise best..."

Who would have thought. Before Luo Shen finished her words, Lu Yu said seriously: "Just like our exercise at night, you can't hold on for long before you get tired. This kind of physical fitness is not good..."

Hearing this, Luo Shen glared at him again in shame and anger: "Can you please speak properly? If you continue like this, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Lu Yu quickly hugged her in his arms: "Look at you, little girl, why are you so angry? It's just a few jokes."

"Besides, I didn't say anything wrong. You don't have as much energy as I do at night."

As soon as these words were spoken, the angry Luo Shen began to struggle continuously in Lu Yu's arms, and it was obvious that she was not going to let go of the lecherous man in front of her. Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly knelt down and coaxed her for a long time, and only then did Luo Shen calm down.

Lu Yu touched his chin with one hand, thought seriously, and said to Luo Shen: "Let's start with running..."

"This kind of running is literally running. Do not use soul power or skills."

"Just exercising purely with your body - I guess you haven't run like this for a long time, right?"

"Then when you run like this tomorrow, you will have a new understanding of your body!"

"And when you go running tomorrow, you will find it very strenuous if you only rely on your own physical strength. But you must persist until you really can't hold on any longer."

"After my previous attempts, I found that this kind of training results are very effective!"

"After you practice like this for a few days, when you are able to stick with it, you can start increasing the weight."

"Of course, we don't just exercise our bodies every day. We also need to practice the control and use of our soul power."

"I said that few people would consider the issue of soul power control and application, but I found one thing."

"It is indeed very important in battle. Often, when people are fighting, they will habitually use their soul power to cover their entire body."

"But maybe he doesn't even need to use all the body parts, like you only need to use your legs to run."

"Or when you use your hands to hit, but your entire body is covered with soul power, the soul power consumption will be very huge."

"You should understand that when the soul power is consumed greatly, whoever's soul power can hold out to the end will win."

"So it can be seen from this that if we can control our soul power well, when we use our legs, our legs will be covered with soul power."

"Whenever I want to use my hands, they are covered with soul power. Wherever I want soul power to be, it will be there."

"In this way, I will save more than half of my soul power compared to others... Do you understand what I mean?"

In fact, after listening to Lu Yu's words, Luo Shen understood a little bit in his heart, but after all, he was still a novice in soul power cultivation, so he didn't dare to drag it out. He could only say to Lu Yu: "I seem to understand a little, but it seems that I don't understand it completely..."

Lu Yu patted her arm soothingly and said, "It's okay, it's too late today, I'll just demonstrate it to you and tell you in detail tomorrow."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and then Luo Shen discovered that there was a faint soul power covering Lu Yu's hand, but there was no soul power anywhere else around his body.

After Lu Yu showed it to him, he put it away. After all, the two of them were sleeping in the hotel room at the time. If they damaged the equipment here, they would have to pay compensation, which would not be worth it.

So Lu Yu said to the curious Luo Shen: "Tomorrow morning, I will take you to practice."

"Seeing is believing. You will understand once you have seen my operation."

Although Luo Shen was very curious about the methods Lu Yu mentioned, she also understood that one cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry. Now was indeed not a suitable time to practice, so she quickly closed her eyes, hoping desperately that she could fall asleep quickly.

Then time immediately came to the next day, and she would see for herself the methods that Lu Yu had mentioned... Early the next morning, the two found an open space, and Lu Yu showed Luo Shen the methods of controlling and using soul power that he had mentioned last night.

He pointed at the big tree in front of him and said to Luo Shen: "Look, I am now covering my own hands with soul power."

Then he placed both his hands on the tree trunk, but his body and feet did not touch the trunk. He simply used his hands to climb up the tree one by one.

Then he put his soul power into his feet. When he took a step and started walking, Luo Shen was surprised to find that Lu Yu's feet were actually stepping on the leaves one by one.

But he seemed to be walking on flat ground, which made Luo Shen widen her beautiful eyes in shock. She had never thought that soul power could be controlled to such an extreme level.

She asked in shock: "Lu Yu, you stepped on this leaf, but it didn't change at all. Is this the result of controlling soul power?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is just a little training trick. You can achieve it as long as you practice hard."

"Only when we can control every drop of our soul power as we wish, can we increase our chances of winning in battle!"

"So it is very necessary to practice the ability to control soul power, but the road of cultivation is not easy to control soul power, it is even more difficult. You must be mentally prepared and don't be impatient."

As the morning light breaks, the soft sunlight shines through the sparse clouds. Luo Shen, wearing a tight training suit, looks particularly heroic. Her eyes are shining with determination and expectation, ready to welcome the training plan tailored for her by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu stood aside, looking at Luo Shen with deep and encouraging eyes. "Luo Shen, remember, the road of cultivation is long and difficult, but every step is crucial. Today, our focus is on physical training, strengthening your body, and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent soul power control."

Luo Shen took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "I understand, Lu Yu, I will work hard!"

At the beginning of the training, Lu Yu first arranged a series of basic physical training: long-distance running, push-ups, squats... Each one required Luo Shen to do her best. Luo Shen gritted her teeth, sweating like rain, but there was no retreat in her eyes, only a more determined light.

"One more set. Remember, there is no shortcut to practice. There is only sweat and persistence!" Lu Yu supervised strictly from the side, adjusting Luo Shen's posture from time to time to ensure that every movement can achieve the best effect.

As the training progressed, Luo Shen's physical strength gradually overdrew, and her breathing became rapid. But she did not stop. Every time she fell, she quickly got up, and every failure turned into motivation to move forward. Lu Yu saw it and secretly praised her in his heart. He knew that Luo Shen had extraordinary perseverance and determination.

"Very good, Luo Shen, you have done what many people cannot do. Now, let's do something more exciting." Lu Yu curled up a mysterious smile and led Luo Shen to a training area full of obstacles.

This place is filled with various obstacles that simulate actual combat: uneven wooden stakes, slippery slopes, and rope nets that require quick climbing... Each one tests Luo Shen's physical fitness and skills.

"Remember, you must not only be fast, but also steady. In actual combat, any small mistake can be fatal." Lu Yu explained as he demonstrated, and every movement was smooth and precise.

Luo Shen followed closely behind, and although she seemed clumsy at first, as time went on, she gradually found her rhythm and her movements became more and more skillful. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, but her face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and pride.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed quietly. During this month, Luo Shen devoted almost all of her time to cultivation. Her physical strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, her muscle lines became smoother and more powerful, and her skin was faintly radiant with a healthy glow.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the training ground again, Luo Shen and Lu Yu stood together, ready to test the results of a month.

"Shen Luo, are you ready?" Lu Yu asked with a smile, his eyes full of expectation and admiration for Shen Luo.

Luo Shen took a deep breath, with a confident look in his eyes, "Of course, Lu Yu, let's get started!"

This time the test had no complicated rules, only the purest physical competition. Lu Yu and Luo Shen stood at the two ends of the training ground. With a command, the two rushed towards each other like arrows from a bow.

Speed, strength, agility... were fully demonstrated at this moment. Luo Shen's movements became more and more fluent, and every punch and kick contained amazing explosive power. Lu Yu responded to Luo Shen's attacks with ease, and occasionally gave her some guiding counterattacks.

"Very good, Luo Shen, you have mastered the power of the physical body. But remember, a true strong person must not only have a strong physical body, but also superb soul power control skills." Lu Yu stopped after a confrontation and said to Luo Shen seriously.

Luo Shen panted slightly, but her eyes flashed with a more blazing light, "I understand, Lu Yu. Next, I will work harder to practice soul power control."

As her physical strength increased, Luo Shen finally entered the stage of practicing soul power control. Lu Yu prepared a quiet and spiritual practice room for her, where she would master the secrets of soul power control.

The training room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a huge soul power stone placed in the center, emitting a soft light. Lu Yu stood beside Luo Shen and patiently explained to her the key points of soul power control.

"Shen Luo, the key to soul power control lies in precision and concentration. You must learn to guide the soul power to the parts that need it, rather than covering the whole body indiscriminately." Lu Yu said as he demonstrated.

Lu Yu gently closed his eyes, slowly raised his hands, and a faint soul power condensed into a small ball of light at his fingertips. As his mind moved, the ball of light also moved as if it had merged with his fingers.

"Do you understand? Now it's your turn." Lu Yu opened his eyes and looked at Luo Shen with encouragement in his eyes.

Luo Shen took a deep breath and tried to imitate Lu Yu's movements. At first, her soul power control seemed awkward and clumsy, but Lu Yu was always by her side, patiently guiding her how to feel the flow of soul power and how to accurately guide it.

"Relax and feel the pulse of your soul power. Remember not to rush for success but proceed step by step." Lu Yu's voice echoed in Luo Shen's ears, bringing her great comfort and strength.

As time went by, Luo Shen gradually found her feeling and her soul power control became more and more accurate. She could clearly feel the soul power flowing in her body as if it had become a part of her body.

Finally, after repeated attempts and failures, Luo Shen successfully condensed a small ball of light in the palm of her hand. Although the light was dim, it marked a solid step forward in her soul power control.

"I did it! Lu Yu, I did it!" Luo Shen shouted excitedly with tears glistening in her eyes. Those were tears of joy and pride.

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation, "You did a good job Luo Shen. Remember, this is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go in the future, but as long as you persevere, one day you will become a truly strong man."

The morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, onto Luo Shen's slightly tired but determined face. After a month of hard training, her figure became more agile, and her eyes flashed with unprecedented determination. Lu Yu stood aside, watching Luo Shen's changes with satisfaction, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"Luo Shen, today is an important turning point in our training plan." Lu Yu's voice was gentle and powerful. He pointed to an open space in the distance. "From today, we will start the fine control training of soul power there. Remember, this will be a more difficult challenge than physical training."

Luo Shen took a deep breath, looked at the open space with a firm gaze, and nodded, "Teacher Lu Yu, I'm ready."

As the two stepped into the open space, Lu Yu took out a series of specially made soul power sensing balls from the soul guide. These small balls contained weak soul power fluctuations and were used to help practitioners sense and control soul power.
