I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 53: Extreme Training

Ye Lingchen had the notion that he had been completely blindsided by Lin Ao.

Compared to the normal martial training, this was clearly hell!

The next day, while the moon was still in the sky, Ye Lingchen was woken up by a shrill whistle.

Glancing at the time, it was 4 in the morning.

Usually, he would wake up at 5 for his morning exercises, but he did not expect that it was this early!

After quickly putting on some clothes and washing up, Ye Lingchen rushed to the gathering point.

“Today, we’ve got a newbie for everyone to get to know.” Fang Hong made Ye Lingchen stand in front of the group, “Introduce yourself.”

“My name is Ye Lingchen. I’ll be in your care,” said Ye Lingchen simply.

This training group had 15 people in it, including Ye Lingchen, it was now 16.

The others appraised Ye Lingchen curiously. With a babyish face, and pale, smooth skin, he did not look like martial artist material. They could not help but not take him seriously, surely he couldn’t have gotten in based on some connection?

Fang Hong handed 4 sandbags at Ye Lingchen, “These are wrist and ankle weights. Put them on, and fall in!”

The 4 sandbags did not look cumbersome, as they were thin and flat. They seemed to have only one metal plate in them.

However, when Ye Lingchen took them from Fang Hong’s hands, his shoulders suddenly sagged from the weight. He, fortunately, steadied himself in time, or else he would have embarrassed himself.

“These…”

Ye Lingchen looked at the sandbags incredulously.

“These sandbags are filled with a hyperdense material, they look small but are extremely heavy! The red ones are for the ankles, each of them weighed 15 kilograms. The green ones are for your wrists, they weigh 10 kilograms each. During training, they are not to leave your body, you may not even take them off when you sleep!” Lin Ao explained from one side.

The 4 sandbags cumulatively weighed 50 kilograms, if an ordinary person were to put them on, the question would not be if they could move— but whether or not they could even stand in the first place.

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath and wrapped the sandbags around his ankles and wrists.

He immediately felt the heaviness on his hands, dragging down his shoulders and nearly making him bend at his waist.

He lifted his legs, and they felt as though they were made of lead. Usually, they were nimble and fast, but now he felt that he would not even compare to an ordinary person.

‘Brutal, this was just too brutal!’

Ye Lingchen exclaimed in his heart.

At the same time, a sense of anticipation slowly welled up within him.

He originally thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his martial prowess. However, today had let him see that there was yet another peak to be attained through this form of training.

If he trained his martial arts with the weights on, it would improve his speed and power exponentially!

Why didn’t he think of this before?

Ye Lingchen took some time to acclimatize to the weight and walked with great difficulty to fall in with the group.

“It’s already pretty good that you can walk on your first time,” said Fang Hong bluntly, before turning to look at the group.
