Chapter 109: Snail’s Pace

“Trust in your body, Arthur As long as you are able, your body will be the only thing that will not fail you” As Kordri’s words rang softly inpain had forced my eyes open as I looked down to see Kordri’s hand jutted out of my chest, unbloodied

“Daue, the all too fa sucked out of the soul realain, overwhelmed me

As soon as I awoke back in the cave,for a hole that wasn’t there

I fell tothis time, Windsom?”

“Two minutes,” he replied “Arthur, the more you are forced out of the soul real Even if an hour out here equates to about roughly twelve in there, it will not be enough if you are expelled every few minutes”

“Don’t bla roaned It was i Even ifstress on o insane

I’ a teen through this sort of night only what you are able to handle,” Kordri responded, alh Itasuras who don’t die nearly as often as you do have a hard tiuess, it was probably due to the fact that th was a co was beginning to take a toll on reorried at first by the number of times Arthur had been expelled from the soul realm due to deaths”

“Well, tiaveback up

Letting out an aave me a nod “I will always be ready, Greenhorn”

“Re in the soul real your er you are able to last in the soul realo Don’t overexert yourself; it has only been a week into your training We still have some leeway, but not if you take on more than you can handle,” Windsom cautioned as he activated the Aether Orb

Kordri and I were, once again, in the sarassy field that expanded endlessly into the horizon It’s been eight days since I had started this tortu—training Since one hour outside equates to twelve in here, that means a full twenty-four hours out there translates to twelve days in here Even counting the ti and resting after dying too many times in the soul real with the even-tempered and patient monk, Kordri

“I can tell you are well-versed in physical coe of uess, you are much more accustomed to shorter battles and duels Proper conservation and distribution of ht?” Kordri speculated

“More or less I’m only thirteen, remember?” I countered innocently

“Sure” The asura shrugged, shooting me a look that toldyou are bound by the li white-core stage let alone the integration stage Because of that, my job is to train your body After all, the lessyourself, the in, I’ve wasted enough tietting into a defensive stance Kordri’s figure vanished and reappeared arth in front of me

The first ti, I was killed in the first blow, unable to even react Even when I wasn’t killed, I jolted awake at the slightest blow becauseon injuries The second, third, fourth, all the way up to the twenty-eighth time, I had been thrown out of the soul realm in the first hit But on the twenty-ninth tih to persist until the second hit Residing and training in the soul realm was difficult, to say the least Only after a feeeks of dying in the soul real

Kordri followed up his left jab to ht elbow to ht that I was re Kordri was His meek temperament disappeared, replaced by a cold, ruthless warrior capable of killing me over a hundred times in the span of a few seconds

The asura’s lih speed in which they were e was because Kordri’s attack pattern was always the same Of course this was done on purpose; the asura had explicitly toldfro It was pathetic that I was barely able to dodge an attack that I already kneas co, but that was the difference between us

<hr>

Beads of sweat flew off my face and body as I was scantily able to keep up with Kordri’s onslaught Seconds ly slower to form minutes as ressively ht I had yet to land a single blow on hi In theKordri, all my strikes had er than usual Do not get sloppy, Arthur Re,” the asura shouted as he si all of my feeble attempts to land a hit

I made a blunder at that ically placed so that if I didn’t dodge it by just a hair’s breadth, I wouldn’t be able to avoid the next attack
