Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 644: Invincible Payne, a decisive victory

The night was deep, and rhythmic beating sounds suddenly came from the silent woods, accompanied by heavy breathing. This sound is particularly clear in the silent night, as if there is a kind of magic that attracts people to get closer.

Ying was walking on the path in the woods. He originally planned to go back to the dormitory to rest, but a strange sound caught his attention. He was curious and decided to follow the sound to see who was still practicing here at such a late hour.

 As he got closer to the source of the sound, the sound became more and more familiar to him. That was Zhang Tao's voice, he could recognize it. It's so late, what is Zhang Tao doing? He comes back late every day. Is it because of this?

Ying walked carefully through the woods, trying not to make any noise. Finally, he saw Zhang Tao. In a small dam deep in the woods, Zhang Tao was facing a bald tree stump, with a yellow spiritual formation under his feet. His hands were bloody, but he still hit the tree stump quickly, and each blow was accompanied by his heavy breathing.

Ying hid behind a tree and quietly observed Zhang Tao. Through the faint light emitted by the spiritual magic array, he could vaguely glimpse the remaining traces on the tree stump. In addition to the new marks, there are also several deep old lines. Those are traces accumulated over the years and proof of Zhang Tao's hard work.

 Zhang Tao was hitting the tree stump while silently reciting the numbers: "1328...1329...1330...1331..." His voice was hoarse and firm, as if each number represented his efforts.

Ying stood there quietly, looking at Zhang Tao's back. He didn't want to leave and had no right to disturb Zhang Tao. At this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his childhood. At that time, his father also trained himself strictly in this way, and every practice made him miserable. He also cried to his mother about his father's harshness, but her mother did not stop his father's training. She just looked at him silently, sobbing with red eyes.

Time passed like this, amidst the splashing blood and Zhang Tao's firm voice. Ying seemed to see the hardship and dedication behind Zhang Tao. He knows that Zhang Tao is a pursuing person, and he has been working hard to improve his strength and realm. This persistence and hard work make Ying feel admired and ashamed.

 Suddenly, a shadow flashed past Ying's side. Payne didn't know when he suddenly appeared near Zhang Tao. He stood behind Zhang Tao, observed quietly for a while, and then suddenly said: "Stop!"

 Zhang Tao's movements suddenly stagnated, he stopped, turned around and looked at Payne. His hands were still shaking slightly, and his face was covered with a mixture of sweat and dirt. But his eyes were firm and bright, as if nothing could shake his determination.

Penn looked at Zhang Tao's appearance, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Zhang Tao was a young man with potential. As long as he was given enough opportunities and guidance, he would be able to become an outstanding spiritualist. But he also knows that Zhang Tao's current training methods are unscientific, and if this continues, it will only waste his talent and potential.

 “Zhang Tao, do you know what you are doing?” Payne asked in a deep voice.

"I know." Zhang Tao replied without hesitation, "I'm training myself."

"What's the point of training like this? It will only make your hands bloody, but it won't really improve your strength." Payne said.

Zhang Tao was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at Payne: "I know. But I believe that only in this way can I become stronger. I don't want to waste my talents and potential."

Penn looked at Zhang Tao's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He knew that Zhang Tao was a man of pursuits, and as long as he was given the right guidance and support, he would definitely be able to find his own path. So Payne gently patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder: "Good job. But you have to remember that scientific and effective training methods are the key to improving yourself. From today on, I will guide you on how to train yourself correctly."

 Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with joy and gratitude when he heard this. He knew that Payne was a powerful spiritualist, and with his guidance and support, he would be able to grow faster. So he nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Lord Payne! I will definitely work hard!"
