Chapter 46 Dugu Yan's Day
Chapter 46 A Day in the Life of Dugu Yan
The next morning, when Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an got up to practice their marksmanship, Dugu Yan unexpectedly showed up, leaving the two speechless.
Seeing the two's surprised looks, Dugu also said with a touch of arrogance, "What, only the two of you can do it? Can't I train too?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head, picked up his usual iron spear, and began to forge it.
Yang Podi has recently completed his basic spear technique training and is now preparing to learn some more advanced spear techniques, but they are all techniques he only had a superficial understanding of in his previous life, such as the Overlord Spear Technique, the Yue Family Spear Technique, and the Yang Family Spear Technique.
These legendary spear techniques were only known to me in my previous life as a novice in martial arts. I only knew some basic moves, and many of them were even learned online. I didn't understand the essence at all. But now I have plenty of time to slowly learn and study them.
Dugu Yan watched as the two practiced their marksmanship, while she herself knew nothing about marksmanship, had never even touched a gun, and was completely at a loss for where to begin.
Finally, Dugu Yan couldn't help but interrupt their practice: "You two stop for a moment, don't practice anymore."
Yang Podi asked in confusion, "Sister Yan Yan, is something the matter? Morning is a good time for exercise, we can't waste it."
"Could you two teach me how to shoot?"
"Sister Yan Yan, you have a Beast Martial Soul, why do you need to practice marksmanship? It's completely unnecessary."
"Since you two are both practicing marksmanship, what should I practice?"
Yang Podi thought about it carefully, but it seemed there wasn't much he could do for Dugu Yan's training. Then he suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Shrek Academy had a training program where students had to run while carrying stones after enrollment. While this kind of training wouldn't have any miraculous effects, it still had some benefits for beast spirits.
Dugu Yan possesses a beast-type martial spirit, and a rare one at that—a control-type spirit. Practicing running more will be beneficial in the future, as it will make her less vulnerable to being targeted.
"Sister Yan Yan, I'll teach you a training method. Take a weight from here and carry it on your back. Run along the entire training ground, or run along the entire Po Clan. This is also very effective."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was puzzled: "Running with weights on your back? Is that even useful? I've never heard of this kind of training before."
"Running with weights can improve physical resilience, especially after fatigue. The effects of training and meditation will be even better if you take a medicinal bath. This afternoon, everyone in our Broken Clan was carrying weights while hiking. Why don't you come with us this afternoon?"
"Alright, I'll try it as you say. If it doesn't work, I'll make trouble for you. My sister's poison is terrifying."
Hearing this, Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an were speechless. How could a defeated opponent be so arrogant? Even in terms of poison, she might not be stronger than the Po clan.
For two hours in the morning, Dugu Yan ran with a weight on her back. Although the weight was relatively light, she was still out of breath from exhaustion.
After Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an finished their morning marksmanship practice, Dugu Yan also stopped running and walked up to them, asking, "Are you two alright just practicing marksmanship? Is this level of training intensity okay?"
Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an just smiled when they heard this. At this moment, Yang Ping'an said, "Sister Yan Yan, try holding the gun that Big Brother was practicing with just now, and you'll know."
Dugu Yan was puzzled. She walked to the gun rack and grabbed the gun that Yang Podi had used that morning. Suddenly, she felt a tremendous force on the gun, and her hands almost couldn't hold it steady.
"Why is this gun so heavy? It probably weighs at least 200 pounds. Have you been practicing with this gun all morning?"
"Sister Yan Yan, this gun does indeed weigh exactly 200 jin (100 kg), but Big Brother also has 50 kilograms of additional weight on him. Although I am not that heavy, the weight on me and the gun together weigh about 100 jin (50 catties)."
At this moment, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that? You're only 8 years old."
Yang Podi pondered for a moment: "Forge, keep forging, absorb the soul rings of power-type soul beasts."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but think to herself: Eight years old? Is this even possible for an eight-year-old?
Yang Podi ignored Dugu Yan and went back to his room to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and then prepared to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Yang Podi, Yang Ping'an, and Dugu Yan went to the family's primary school to begin their morning studies.
However, throughout the morning, Yang Podi was either reading or meditating alone, and he barely listened to the lecture.
Dugu Yan's arrival attracted the attention of a group of children around her. Although these children were very young, they were eight or nine years old and knew a little about things. They all surrounded Dugu Yan, leaving her speechless.
After learning about alchemy in the afternoon, Yang Podi and his two companions began their afternoon training. When they first arrived here, their afternoon training mainly consisted of carrying heavy loads while climbing mountains.
However, according to Yang Podi's plan, many more activities were added in the afternoon, making it no longer as monotonous as before.
Specifically, it includes weighted running, weighted climbing, weighted swimming, weighted frog jumping, etc. After all the operations, everyone will be exhausted and feel like they would rather die than live.
When Dugu Yan participated in training for the first time, she resolutely refused to participate in the weighted swimming part. She herself is a non-swimmer and, being a girl, she doesn't really like swimming.
Secondly, Dugu Yan, being a ten-year-old girl, thought she was no less capable than boys and chose to carry the same weight as her peers. This was quite a mistake, as she was almost exhausted after only half the time.
In the end, he was helped to the rest area.
As evening fell, Niu Jinfeng brought the three of them home. However, all three were exhausted and collapsed, especially Dugu Yan, who was completely powerless and had no strength left in her body. Niu Jinfeng had to carry her back.
After returning home, the three of them took medicinal baths in their respective rooms, and the necessary items for the baths had already been prepared.
As a family of Soul Masters, there are quite a few servants in the family. The servants are mainly responsible for chores such as cooking, boiling water, and washing clothes, while the medicinal bath is prepared by Niu Jinfeng herself.
The entire medicinal bath lasted half an hour. After half an hour, all three of them had regained some energy, and the whole family prepared to have dinner together.
Dinner was very lavish, including soul beast meat, vegetables, staple food, and stew.
After the medicinal bath, Dugu Yan seemed to have recovered a lot. She became more energetic and her body felt particularly smooth.
After dinner, everyone returned to their own rooms and began their meditation for the day.
At this moment, Dugu Yan noticed something strange about today. She usually took a medicinal bath every day, but after her afternoon exercise, the effects were noticeably better than usual, and her meditation that evening seemed much smoother. What could be the reason for this?
Dugu Yan seemed a little confused, but she suppressed her curiosity and tried to meditate.
