Chapter 178 : Heaven And Hell Peak (3)
After the Three Realm Spear was freed from its prison, the Heaven and Hell Peak lost its charm for all the spearmen who once dreamed about possessing the weapon. Additionally, its rocky and dangerous terrain did not allow for safe martial arts training, especially for beginners.
And yet, this was the training spot that Commandant Jiang selected to polish Zhang Fengxi’s skills. He wanted to make sure that the unfortunate mishap during the fight against the First Demon King did not repeat. Otherwise, the teacher was fearful for the disciple’s life.
The Crown Prince could not come running to save Zhang Fengxi every single time.
Commandant Jiang made Zhang Fengxi repeat all the training steps from the very beginning and punished him heavily for every mistake. Other than practicing spearsmanship from early morning until late at night, Zhang Fengxi still had to take care of their daily necessities.
The job included hauling fresh, clean water for drinking, cooking, and bathing purposes; hunting wild animals; skinning, gutting, and cooking them; and also gathering fruits, nuts, and mushrooms to enrich their meal.
Commandant Jiang thought that Zhang Fengxi would start complaining from day one, but surprisingly, the younger alpha exhibited an admirable level of resilience. Not only did he not complain about the chores, but he also practiced religiously. Truly, a tiger’s skin was not afraid of a thousand knives*.
Closely before the sunset, the entire peak was bathed in mesmerizing red and golden sunlight. This particular spot used to be a rocky mountain with wild vegetation sprouting from its side, but the past two months had transformed its appearance significantly.
Half of the mountain had been decimated into small rocks, and there was now a man-made pool of water with around twenty raging stone pillars that hung at least thirty meters above the water’s surface.
Standing on top of one of those pillars was an impressively tall figure with broad shoulders. With no single layer of fabric covering his upper half, his evenly toned arms, chest, and stomach were practically a welcome feast for eager eyes.
