Chapter 4 Youyou
Yun wanted to walk quickly to the backyard, where she trained her physical fitness.
The backyard was expanded after she came. All the training facilities in it were made by her grandfather himself. Her grandfather was really good at raising children. She, who was born as an early childhood education teacher in her previous life, felt inferior to him.
I had thought that I would be my first teaching baby, but in fact it was completely useless. The only thing I could do was cooperate. I feel so ashamed.
Ever since she was able to grasp, her grandfather began to train her hand skills, starting with grasping with a handful, then moving on to the differentiation of the five fingers, and then to hand muscle strength, joint movement, etc., progressing step by step, and the training was very detailed.
Grandpa changed the training content and molds regularly according to her age, from weekly to monthly, quarterly, and annually. She couldn't remember how many molds she had used. No matter how many, they were all earned by grandpa's sweat.
She dared to guess that her grandfather had never been so attentive to her mother. She felt an inexplicable sense of superiority and was secretly delighted.
In theory, physical fitness is not the key factor in the advancement of spiritual potential, but her grandfather paid more attention to her physical fitness rather than the training of her spiritual potential.
After so many years of practice, she seemed to have mastered the secret of true advancement.
Compared with the methods summed up by the outside world, my grandfather's method is obviously better and safer. Every time she advances, the power in her body is very stable, without a trace of riot.
The current methods of improving spiritual potential in the interstellar world are nothing more than taking energy liquid when going out to fight, or absorbing energy crystal cores.
Energy liquid is the product of secondary processing of ore. After the ore is mined, the energy body is first extracted by the research institute, and then the energy source and energy liquid are refined by the refiner who is a psychic.
Those with special abilities are invisibly restricted, which is why, although they are powerful and have a high status, they cannot grasp the highest power.
Energy liquid can replenish the energy consumed in the body of the awakened person. It is mainly used when the person is exhausted in battle. With more use, the level of mental potential will naturally increase.
The side effect is that mental power is prone to rioting, which can lead to degradation at the mildest level and disability or even death at the worst. Of course, there are solutions, such as taking soothing drugs made by alchemists or supplementing with high-quality nutritional ingredients.
Compared to energy liquid, energy crystal cores are much gentler and more practical. In addition to increasing levels, they can also calm people's rebellious power.
Energy crystal cores are produced from mutated animals and plants. There are no low-level mutated animals and plants, but there are occasionally mid-level ones, and there are all high-level ones.
However, their combat power is even greater than that of Awakeners of the same rank, making them extremely difficult to deal with. As the saying goes, a coin is worth a ton of gold. Currently, the most popular item on the market is energy liquid.
The awakened ones have good physical fitness. Yun Xiang could walk steadily when she was just one week old. Her grandfather took her to the backyard and officially started training. In fact, her grandfather had been consciously guiding her as early as when she could crawl.
At that time, the backyard only had plum blossom stakes and a mutant jujube tree. The jujube tree was brought back from the plantation, intended as a snack for Yunxiang, but its fruit was too hard and tough to eat, so it could only be used as a training device.
At first, grandpa would let her do some basic movements, such as standing on one leg, jumping on two feet, walking fast or slow, sitting cross-legged on a small stool, etc.
Of course, daily crawling is essential, starting from crawling, to hands and knees, to hands and feet, and then crawling around the poles, around the poles forward, around the poles backwards... Later it turned into walking, and when it grew up a little, it ran.
When she was 2 years old, her grandfather began to teach her how to read and count. He found that she was precocious and felt inexplicably guilty.
At the age of 3, Yunxiang began to learn wood carving from his grandfather in addition to training.
From the origin of wood carving, the development of family wood carving to wood carving techniques, wood selection, composition, tools... Combining theory with practice, she spent a full two years absorbing and digesting it, laying a solid foundation, and began to practice carving.
Grandpa was a wise old man. Not only did he not stop teaching Yunxiang wood carving because of Yunxiang's mother, but he was even more attentive to her.
Yun Xiang once asked Grandpa why. He was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. That was the only time Yun Xiang saw a self-deprecating expression on his face. If someone wants to leave, even if you use all your strength, you can't stop them.
From the age of five, because of wood carving, training was postponed to the morning. The first thing he did when he woke up was to run around the yard, followed by basic exercises such as jumping, bending, splits, kicking, and muscle stretching.
Then comes the standing postures: two stances with legs apart, one with legs together, one with one leg together, then walking or running on the stances, moving on command, and finally moving hands and feet on the stances.
Occasionally, Yunxiang would complain to her grandfather that she looked like a cat. Her grandfather would then tell her seriously that "Youyou is actually a cat."
Youyou is the nickname my grandfather gave Yun. Teak is a valuable carving material. It is hard and durable, not easily deformed, and extremely beautiful. Carving requires extremely high skills.
Grandpa asked her, "What do you think of it?" What did she say? "A name is a symbol of aspiration. Grandpa hopes I'll be resilient, self-respecting, and true to myself!" She finished, her eyes earnest yet slightly smug, her expression reserved.
Grandpa flicked her forehead with his finger and said, "Our pomelo is a tough, yet fragrant bone. You'd have to be really skilled to take it away."
Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment, his expression instantly cracked. Grandpa...is he serious?
By the time she was able to move freely on the pole while carrying weights and perform various postures, including difficult movements such as handstands, Yun Xiang was already nine years old. This year was an extraordinary year for her.
Yunxi, who is three years younger than her, became a superpower, and through day-to-day training, she became an awakened person with a spiritual potential value of D level, and her physical fitness was also improved to C level, half a step away from the intermediate level.
Although she only leveled up 1 level, she clearly felt that the power in her body had become much stronger, and she vaguely sensed that these powers could be controlled.
This year, her energy fluids ran out, but she successfully figured out how to advance. She could carve exquisite flowers, lifelike animals, and simple landscapes.
This year, her grandfather gave her a bow and arrow that he made himself and engraved her nickname on it. Unfortunately, there was only a bow but no arrow.
A lot of training equipment has been added to the backyard, including horizontal bars, uneven bars, springboards, flying ropes, climbing walls... including a jujube tree that has grown to 8 meters high and improved moving plum blossom piles.
Every day Yunxiang fell and got bruised and battered, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. This made her flexible, agile and strong.
This year she became the last elementary school student to enroll, and her schedule suddenly became tight.
At 12, she could quickly climb to the top of the climbing wall, her legs firmly planted on the slender horizontal bar, and walk on the poles as if they were flat ground;
He could slide on a rope with one hand, make short leaps, and easily squat on the branches of a jujube tree to sneak attack his grandfather;
He can do backflips by using objects, and hang upside down on branches without a rope; he can catch objects with his bare hands in any posture, and in fact, he catches only dates;
Yes... She could do many things she had never dared to think of before. She felt that if she continued to practice like this, she would really turn into a cat. Was it because she had raised a cat in her previous life that she turned into a cat in this life?
This year, she, who had been completely abandoned, successfully entered the intermediate level, with her mental potential value reaching C level and her physical fitness rising to B level.
