Chen Zhou and Li Gang had already walked quite far away. Only after they were far from the gate did Chen Zhi show signs of weakness. Seeing Chen Zhi's weak appearance and the fact that he was about to collapse, Li Gang immediately helped Chen Zhou up and looked at him with concern.
Li Gang has changed a lot now. Chen Zhou looked at Li Gang weakly and said, "Carry me on your back. This is the only way for now."
Chen Zhou, pretending to be like this, found himself incredibly happy. Not only did he no longer have to walk, but he could also cultivate Li Gang's spirit of hard work and perseverance. Wasn't this a win-win situation?
Without saying a word, Li Gang carried Chen Zhou on his back and walked forward step by step with difficulty. After leaving their residence, according to the map, Chen Zhou thought the route was to walk along the main road, turn left, and continue along the main road to reach the gate of the capital.
Li Gang was naturally more familiar with the city's layout than Chen Zhou, so he led Chen Zhou along a shortcut and quickly arrived at the main gate. Seeing Li Gang's familiarity with the place, Chen Zhou couldn't help but laugh and cry; it was obvious that he had gotten by from previous experience.
The two passed directly through the city gates and headed straight outside.
Chen Zhou had walked this road before, but he still didn't know it as well as Li Gang. Li Gang carried Chen Zhou on his back and continued walking, but the further they went, the more heavily Li Gang was breathing, making it extremely difficult for him. However, Chen Zhou still showed no intention of getting off.
Li Gang had no choice but to continue carrying Chen Zhou forward.
Chen Zhou weighed at least 100 pounds. Imagine someone who rarely exercises suddenly having to carry someone weighing 100 pounds for such a long time—it must have been extremely difficult. Therefore, Chen Zhou was very considerate of Li Gang. Towards the end, Chen Zhou deliberately lifted his body a little and used a lot of his own strength, not putting all his weight on Li Gang.
Li Gang persisted for a while longer.
"Master, I can't go on! I've reached my limit." Li Gang suddenly stopped walking and raised his head to shout. Hearing this, Chen Zhou immediately realized that Li Gang might really not be able to hold on any longer. But how could Chen Zhou give up this good opportunity to train so easily?
So Chen Zhou said directly, "Not yet, keep walking. This is an excellent opportunity to train your body. You must walk until you have no strength left in your body, until you feel like vomiting."
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Li Gang immediately became unhappy. As the eldest young master of Xuanyuan Manor, he was pampered and lived a life of luxury in the manor. Today, he had already done more than enough by making an exception and carrying the burden for so long for his master. How could this guy still want to push his luck?
Just as Li Gang was about to lash out, Chen Zhou immediately advised, "My disciple, although you may not be able to appreciate my good intentions for a while, you will find that I have actually helped you a lot when you truly begin to learn about this flame!"
Upon hearing Chen Zhou mention the word "flame," Li Gang's eyes immediately lit up, and he felt his body filled with power. He carried Chen Zhou on his back again and headed towards the main road ahead. Now, all they needed to do was keep walking along this road until they reached the mountain range, and then the two of them could climb it.
It was already afternoon, and it seemed impossible for Chen Zhou to get back before evening, so he had to figure out what to do next.
When they came out, Chen Zhou didn't bring much food, or even any at all. The two of them just came out like that. What would they eat when they got to the mountains?
Chen Zhou decided to take it one step at a time.
After carrying him for an unknown amount of time, Li Gang felt as if his legs no longer belonged to him. His legs were numb, and he could not even feel their existence. His waist was also constantly bent, and he felt increasingly sore and painful.
More importantly, I finally experienced one of the symptoms my master had mentioned: the urge to vomit!
"Master, I really can't go on..." Li Gang walked to the roadside, dejectedly put Chen Zhou down, and finally collapsed to the ground with a "thump," making a very soft sound.
After Li Gang put Chen Zhou down, he immediately stood up with both feet on the ground. At this moment, Chen Zhou sat down again and quietly waited for Li Gang to recover. This time, Li Gang had undergone a thorough training session, and this was only the beginning.
Li Gang's physique was slightly better than Chen Zhou had imagined, perhaps because he was in such a powerful organization and had probably taken a lot of tonics.
Chen Zhou waited quietly, occasionally fiddling with the rootless fire within the small space of his body. Finally, Li Gang slowly and weakly got up.
“I…can’t walk anymore…” Li Gang sat up like Chen Zhou, leaning against a fence, and said directly. He then prepared to lie down again, but Chen Zhou stopped him.
"If you have this kind of perseverance, it will be very difficult for you to master my flames," Chen Zhou said coldly.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou mention the word "flame" again, Li Gang immediately understood his goal. He vaguely tried to sit up and slowly said, "I misspoke earlier... Actually, I can still..."
This time, Chen Zhou truly felt Li Gang's determination to learn his flames. This was also the first time Chen Zhou realized that he might really have to teach Li Gang about flames; otherwise, Li Gang might really break down.
