Chapter 182 - Clay's Cultivation
Chapter 182 – Clay’s Cultivation
"Yes, my father made sure to teach me."
As Clay recounted his past time with his family his eyes inadvertently saddened.
Seeing this Dante felt a bit bad.
he didn't let the boy dwell too long on these saddening thoughts and soon ruffled the boy's hair.
"Well then, since you know how to read, we can get you started straight away !"
Dante looked around till his eyes landed on Lennox,
"Lennox, can you lend me you're body refining technique for a second. "
"Huh? Are you talking to me?"'asked a confused Lennox
"Of course I'm talking to you! Who else is called Lennox. " asked Dante
I'm pretty sure your clan has a stronger body refining technique than the one we learnt at the Kinsman Clan
"Erm, boss it's been a while since I cultivated my body refining technique, I'm not sure I can remember it."
Hearing this Dante's eyebrows twitched,
This kid was really testing his patience, was he really trying to play dumb?
Dante knew the real reason this boy was pretending to forget was that he doesn't want to have to teach Clay
"It's okay Lennox"
'Huh? What the hell'
this wasn't the reaction that Lennox was expecting.
Was that crazy man Dante actually having a change of heart?
But before Lennox could get too happy, Dante's cold voice sounded out again.
"I know when it comes to people like you, a few knocks on the head are usually needed to get your memory going
As Dante spoke he cracked his knuckles whilst a threatening smile slowly crept onto his face
'Damn! I thought you changed!' lamented Lennox
'I must have been dreaming because you're still just a tyrannical bastard!'
Of course, Lennox wouldn't say these words out loud, he still wanted to live!
instead he just lightly laughed as he jumped to his feet
"Haha! I magically seem to remember now!"
" Quickly, ink! I need ink and paper!"
As Lennox said this he quickly dashed out of the room to find the resources he needs
…
Minutes later Lennox came back into the room but this time he had a strange book in his hand.
Lennox walked up to Clay as he showed off the book in his hand
"This book contains all the instructions to start the body cultivation process.
I tried my best to include all the information needed but I couldn't include the picture demonstrations but don't worry. I'll be here to give you all the personal guidance you need !"
As soon as clay heard this he started feeling uneasy.
From his earlier display, Lennox didn't quite come across as the most reliable of teachers.
So despite the overwhelming confidence in Lennox's voice, Clay was still having doubts about whether Lennox could be a reliable teacher.
Regardless of Clay's doubts, Lennox soon started explaining the technique to him
"The technique is from my Asmond clan and called < Raging bison body art!>
As soon as Clay heard the name of the technique he couldn't help but give Lennox a strange look.
He had already heard that cultivators liked to give their techniques strange names but this was the first time he had seen it first-hand
"Hey! Don't look at me like that. I'm not the one who gave the technique its name.
Besides, if you ignore the ridiculous name, it's really a powerful body refining technique. If cultivated to mastery the technique allows you to have the strength of 5 bisons!"
Hearing this, Clay's eyes widened.
If he could truly have that sort of strength dealing with those zombies would be a piece of cake!
He would definitely be able to save his family and friends.
Trapped in his hopeful ignorance Clay looked towards Lennox, his eyes overflowing with anticipation.
After letting Clay have a quick read they were finally ready to start practising cultivation!
….
Minutes later Clay could be sweating a storm as Lennox walked continuously around him constantly correcting his form.
"Your horse-riding stance isn't Good enough! Squat lower!"
Hearing this Clay took in a deep breath as his shaky legs bent even lower.
As he did this he felt the strain on his body increase.
in his current state, Clay guessed that his legs could still hold on for at least another 5 minutes.
He wouldn't give up until the very end!
But before Clay could get too comfortable he suddenly felt Lennox rapidly poke him in several places all over his body.
In that instant, Clay felt his blood rumble as his skin went as red as a tomato!
To him, it felt the difficulty of the horse-riding stance had just drastically increased!
"What..what did you do to me?" Asked Clay with clenched teeth, still trying to hold on with his last breath.
"Don't worry" chuckled Lennox
"what I did now is a secret technique only known by my Asmond clan.
It stimulates the blood flow increases the difficulty of body refining but it in turn boost its cultivation speed drastically.
Only with this technique will you be able to get the full potential of the body refining technique."
As Lennox was explaining a smug smile couldn't help but form in his face.
'Hehehe! The brilliance of my Asmond clan is out on display again. Only with the proper guidance of a true clan member can you progress in this technique.
Trying to steal it is futile. Without these secrets, the body refining technique is probably worse than the ones you find in the road!'
Even though Clay wasn't in as happy a mood as Lennox. once he heard lee box talk, his expression could be seen to visibly relax.
It seemed like, whatever Lennox did to him, it was still a good thing.
But even though he knew roar Lennox was doing the best thing for him, this didn't reduce the difficulty of this new state in the slightest!
Clay barely managed to hold in for 30 more seconds before his body gave up on him.
His limbs flopped, sending him straight into the wooden floor below!
