Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 41: The Disciple Who Breaks New Ground, The Clumsy Bird Flies First!

Flying in the Golden Body Realm is indeed exhilarating, with extremely fast speeds. The instantaneous speed can even reach up to 200 kilometers per hour.

However, its drawback is also quite obvious, which is its lack of endurance.

Basically, every five minutes of flying requires a stop to rest and recover for nearly an hour before continuing the journey.

So, throughout the journey, the three of them flew and stopped, and the speed was not as fast as they had imagined.

Whenever they needed to stop and rest, Liu Zimo would take the opportunity to teach Yang Sisi some practical combat skills, and then mercilessly throw her into the group of demonic beasts for practical training.

After several rounds of this, although Yang Sisi had accumulated many injuries, her combat ability had undergone a tremendous change. There was no longer the delicate and weak aura in her eyes. Instead, she became sharp, tough, and even ruthless.

Now, even if she faced the siege of fifty or even a hundred ordinary demonic beasts at the same time, she could easily kill her way out.

Even when encountering demonic beasts of the same level as her, she would no longer be as flustered and injured as the first time.

After several days of intense practical training, more than thirty demonic beasts at the soldier level had died at Yang Sisi's hands, and the number of ordinary demonic beasts exceeded a thousand.

At this moment, a faint aura of killing intent had emerged from Yang Sisi. She had initially possessed the indifference to life and death that was unique to post-apocalyptic warriors.

As for Ye Feihong, she was the prodigious girl whom Liu Zimo had rescued from the ruins.

Since waking up, she instinctively clung to Liu Zimo and refused to let go of his arm, as if she believed that if she let go, Liu Zimo would abandon her.

It was only after she woke up that Liu Zimo and Yang Sisi discovered that this little girl was actually mute, with a congenital defect in her throat that prevented her from making any sound.

Yang Sisi felt pity for her and became even more caring and protective towards the little girl.

After the initial surprise, Liu Zimo's attitude remained unchanged, without a trace of pity or disdain in his eyes.

She just couldn't speak, it's not like she was missing limbs or paralyzed and unable to move.

Compared to those in the future who were physically disabled or directly killed by demonic beasts, this hidden defect was not worth mentioning at all.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Liu Zimo's plain and non-discriminatory attitude that Ye Feihong, who had always been extremely sensitive, became extremely affectionate towards Liu Zimo as soon as she woke up, always clinging to him.

On the other hand, she kept a distance from Yang Sisi, who was even more friendly and caring towards her.

"From now on, call me Master!"

On the third day after leaving the city, which was the second day after Ye Feihong woke up, Liu Zimo looked at the little girl who had been unwilling to get off him and said something that made Yang Sisi envious and jealous.

"It doesn't matter if you can't speak now. When your cultivation reaches the Iron Bone Realm, I will teach you a secret technique called Sound Transmission, which allows you to use the sound waves generated by internal energy to communicate directly."

"After reaching the Golden Body Realm, there will also be an opportunity to reshape your bones. At that time, your throat will regenerate, and the defect will be gone. You will be able to speak like a normal person!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Sisi saw a gleam of excitement in the little Feihong's eyes. She nodded repeatedly and even imitated some scenes of apprenticeship she had seen on TV, kneeling down and kowtowing to Liu Zimo.

Since then, Ye Feihong became Liu Zimo's first disciple, and under Liu Zimo's patient guidance, she practiced the Guiding Breath Technique and the Five Animal Fist every day.

It must be said that Ye Feihong was truly a martial prodigy with the potential to become a Martial Saint.

Even though she was only three years old, her comprehension ability and understanding of martial arts had already surpassed many ordinary adults.

A true child prodigy!

Her cultivation speed was even envied by Yang Sisi, who had already broken through to the Copper Skin Realm.

One day for Foundation Building, two days for Copper Skin, and by the third day, she had already surpassed Yang Sisi and reached the peak of the Copper Skin Realm.

On the fourth day, the little girl even started practical training and joined Yang Sisi in the daily hunting and combat against demonic beasts at least five times a day.

What was even more unbelievable was that her speed in hunting and killing demonic beasts was actually more than twice as fast as that of an adult like Yang Sisi!

Even when facing soldier-level demonic beasts comparable to the Copper Skin Realm, Ye Feihong could defeat them with a single punch, completely crushing them.

This inevitably dealt a blow to Yang Sisi, who stood beside Ye Feihong, and even made her feel a sense of inferiority and shame.

The phrase she often heard others say, "How can you be worse than a three-year-old child," had now been proven on her.

She really can't even compare to a three-year-old child!

"Compared to Xiaofei Hong, am I really considered a one-in-a-million martial arts genius?"

Yang Sisi often falls into such self-doubt.

There's no way, she simply can't compare!

Xiaofei Hong's growth speed is truly astonishing, advancing to a new realm almost every day. No matter how hard Yang Sisi tries to catch up, she can only see dust in the distance, with no hope of catching up or even surpassing her.

If it weren't for Liu Zimo's consistent attitude towards her, showing no signs of disdain or dissatisfaction, Yang Sisi would have probably given up long ago.

Liu Zimo naturally noticed Yang Sisi's psychological changes.

But he didn't have any intention of comforting her with words.

In this post-apocalyptic world, if she couldn't even handle this setback, then there would be no need to continue cultivating Yang Sisi.

People's talents are inherently varied, with some being exceptional and others being mediocre.

If encountering someone with better talent makes one feel inferior, retreat, and be greatly discouraged, even to the point of wanting to give up on martial arts, then such a person is destined to have no great achievements.

At the very least, she wouldn't be able to pass the test of character. In the future, when facing the enchanting attacks of higher-level illusion monsters, she would be material for a traitor who switches sides in the heat of battle!

Fortunately.

After a few days of adaptation, Yang Sisi persevered.

Not only did she accept the fact that her talent was inferior to Xiaofei Hong's, but she also became more serious and hardworking in her daily training, never daring to be lazy or take a break.

If talent is lacking, then make up for it with effort!

When she was in school, she often encountered classmates with better grades than her, but in the end, she caught up step by step under her diligent efforts, didn't she?

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and a slow bird can still fly first!

As long as she doesn't give up and persists, no matter how high or dangerous the mountain peak is, there will eventually be a day when she can climb over it!

Seeing this, Liu Zimo couldn't help but nod in approval.

Although a slow bird may not be able to catch up with the phoenix-like divine birds, this unwavering belief in never giving up is extremely rare and valuable.

In Yang Sisi, Liu Zimo seemed to see his younger self.

Even though he knew his talent was low, his potential limited, and that he would probably never reach the realm of a golden body in his lifetime, he still practiced diligently every day, refusing to give up, just to seize that one-in-a-million possibility of enlightenment.

Compared to that, Yang Sisi, a prodigy seed with master potential and starting at the bronze skin realm, was much luckier and stronger than he was back then!

Soon.

They reached the eighth day since leaving Shangjing City.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the long-lost sun rose slowly from the east, illuminating the earth that had been shrouded in darkness for eight days.

At this moment, the teleportation channel that had been hanging above the earth had completely stabilized and quietly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

This made many uninformed people cheer and rejoice, thinking that the disaster was over and that brightness was right in front of them.

As long as they killed all the remaining monsters, human civilization would surely be able to continue, and they would soon be able to live a normal and happy life as before.

Little did they know that after the teleportation channel stabilized, it would become even more convenient for the monsters from beyond the domain to teleport.

Before long, when the teleportation channel reopened, more and more powerful monsters would descend from the sky and cross the domains.

By then, the survival environment that the human race on Earth would face would only become more dangerous and difficult!

In fact, the reason Liu Zimo was in such a hurry and rushing non-stop was to return to Luozhou before the second disaster arrived and reunite with his family!

In his previous life, the second disaster occurred half a month after the first disaster, so he set a half-month deadline for his father to wait for him in Luozhou.

But in this life, the disaster came early, with constant changes. Liu Zimo was unsure if the second disaster would arrive at the same time as he remembered.
