Chapter 2 An Extraordinary Physique
Ye Yu arrived at the waterfall, where the rushing water grew louder and louder.
This is a waterfall forty meters high, with rushing water cascading down and crashing onto the smooth, massive rocks below, producing a muffled thunderous sound and splashing countless droplets.
Ye Yu took off his shirt, revealing his strong and powerful physique. At such a young age, he already had a muscular build.
Ye Yu slightly bent his body, and with a sudden stomp of his right foot, he left a dent in the ground.
Whoosh!
Ye Yu leaped up two meters into the air, crossed the pool of water five meters away from the giant rock, and landed on the rock.
The constant pounding of the rushing water has made the giant rock very smooth, making it difficult for an average adult to stand on, let alone jump over.
However, Ye Yu landed smoothly on the giant rock, as if walking on flat ground.
From takeoff to landing smoothly, Ye Yu demonstrated his extraordinary abilities.
When Ye Yu was four years old, he discovered that he possessed great strength and a physical body. After discovering this waterfall, he thought he would give it a try.
He leaped up and landed on the giant rock. At first, he couldn't stand steadily and stumbled because it was too slippery, but he quickly adjusted and didn't fall.
Strength, physical ability, reflexes, everything seems to be innate, making them naturally different from ordinary people.
Therefore, Ye Yu was very curious about his identity and his martial soul.
"My body is extraordinary. When I awaken my martial soul, will I awaken a beast martial soul?" Ye Yu wondered.
Those who possess Beast Souls will have bodies that differ from other types of Soul Masters. However, this only becomes apparent after level 30, when Beast Soul Masters undergo Soul Possession, the changes to their bodies become even more significant, resulting in extremely powerful bodies.
Those who possess beast-type martial souls will develop increasingly powerful bodies through cultivation. Conversely, Ye Yu wondered if his already extremely powerful body might be due to a beast-type martial soul.
"Forget it, I'll find out in three days. If old Jack still won't let me go by then, I'll just have to tie him up at home."
Ye Yu stood beneath the waterfall, where the forty-meter-high rushing water was quite powerful.
The water lashed against his body, but Ye Yu's powerful physique felt no pain, and his body remained steady as he stood on the boulder.
Despite the momentum, Ye Yu began to assume a horse stance, practicing to stabilize his lower body.
Half an hour later, I started doing 1,000 squats.
Ye Yu put his hands behind his back, squatted down as low as he could, and then quickly stood up. This exercise strengthens his leg muscles, improves cardiovascular function, and promotes blood circulation.
However, after two years of daily training, Ye Yu did not feel any improvement in his cardiopulmonary function. Perhaps, it was because his own function was already very strong...
After doing a thousand squats and then a thousand push-ups, the rushing water from the waterfall pounded against my back, significantly increasing the pressure on my body.
However, Ye Yu seemed very relaxed, as if he was under no pressure.
After a thousand push-ups, do a thousand with one hand, then a thousand with two fingers...
After finishing, Ye Yu stopped, straightened up, and looked up.
"Let's see if we can succeed this time."
Ye Yu bent his knees, exerted force with his legs, and pushed off the rock with all his might.
Bang!
Click...
With this leap, Ye Yu defied the powerful force of the forty-meter waterfall, rising from the ground and splitting the waterfall vertically in two.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yu rushed from below the waterfall to above it, landing on the mountain waterfall.
Ye Yu glanced down and could clearly see several cracks appearing on the boulder.
Ye Yu not only has an unusual body, but also five senses.
"My body is stronger now." Ye Yu muttered to himself, "Continuing to train here won't be very effective anymore. It seems I'll have to find a different method in the future."
Ye Yu glanced at the meter-high boulder on the shore and thought to himself, "I'll use this for training from now on. That's enough for today, it's time to go back."
Ye Yu had been exercising for two and a half hours, so he stopped and walked home with light steps.
It wasn't because he was tired. The training that had just taken place was intense in the eyes of others, but Ye Yu didn't feel exhausted at all. The reason he didn't continue was because he was hungry.
Ye Yu arrived at the door and asked eagerly, "Grandpa Jack, what delicious food are you making today?"
Before I even entered the door, an elderly man in his sixties came out.
The old man was tall and thin, but in good spirits. He was dressed in clean and tidy brown clothes, and his hair was combed very neatly.
This old man was none other than Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village.
The usually approachable old Jack now looked serious, his brows furrowed.
"Xiaoyu, you went to exercise again? Didn't I tell you not to go?"
"Grandpa Jack, if I want to become stronger, I naturally need to train every day. Becoming a powerful Soul Master in the future will also be an honor for Holy Soul Village, won't it?"
Old Jack said sternly, "I told you, if you go again, you won't be allowed to eat anymore! You can only choose one: exercise or future meals!"
"I choose to train." Ye Yu said without hesitation, "Even if I starve to death after training, I, Ye Yu, will never eat a single bite of food cooked by you, old Jack!"
After saying this, Ye Yu rubbed his rumbling stomach and turned to leave. He thought to himself, "I can go to Tang San's house for a free meal."
Old Jack was helpless; this tactic was completely ineffective. He rubbed his forehead, at a loss for what to do with Ye Yu. He couldn't bring himself to deprive Ye Yu of his food.
"Alright, come in."
As soon as Old Jack finished speaking, Ye Yu turned around abruptly and rushed into the house like a gust of wind.
Old Jack entered the room, and Ye Yu had already started wolfing down his food, grinning at him.
"Today's meal was delicious."
Old Jack felt helpless and sighed, "Sigh, there's just no way to deal with you."
Soon, Ye Yu finished eating and asked curiously, "Grandpa, you're dressed so neatly and cleanly today, is it because the Soul Master in charge of the Awakening Ceremony is coming?"
Old Jack nodded: "Yes."
"Then I'll be able to awaken my martial soul." Ye Yu said expectantly.
Old Jack said firmly, "You can't go then. You should live a peaceful life as an ordinary person. You can inherit the position of village chief of Holy Soul Village in the future."
Ye Yu had no interest in the village chief at all: "Grandpa, other parents all hope their children will become dragons, why do you always want me to be an ordinary person? To inherit your position as village chief in the future. Just tell me the reason, you must be hiding something about my background."
Old Jack shook his head directly: "I'm not hiding anything. All I know about you is your name. The note in your swaddling clothes only had one line: 'Child's name, Ye Yu.' I don't know anything else."
"Grandpa, please let me go then. Maybe I'll awaken a useless martial soul and have no soul power at all, so I won't be able to become a soul master. I'll just give up. Didn't you say that it's rare for one out of ten children to have soul power?"
Old Jack's brow twitched: "It just won't work."
Ye Yu said nothing more, got up and left, glancing at a clump of hemp rope in the corner of the wall out of the corner of his eye.
