Chapter 489 The Fall of Genius
Just like that, Paimon finished the rice ball in big mouthfuls. She licked her tongue with some satisfaction and rubbed her stomach with both hands.
"Not full..."
Paimon looked back aggrievedly at the dumbfounded Ying and Krevie beside him.
"Why are you looking at me? I-I'm just hungry... Whaaaaa?!"
Paimon said this weakly, and then was startled when someone suddenly touched his head.
"I didn't expect that you would be the first to learn it. If you practice diligently, you might become the most powerful master among the three of you."
Touching Paimeng's head, Liu Bai said to Paimeng with a little surprise, and encouraged her by the way.
"Huh? Oh yeah, Paimon just succeeded!"
After hearing Liu Bai's words, Paimeng finally sobered up from his hungry state. He turned around and found that the place where Liu Bai had originally placed the rice ball was empty. Then he reacted and cheered excitedly.
"Hehe, Traveler, from today on, call me Paimon, a master of inner strength."
After the excitement, Paimon immediately put his hands on his hips and looked proud.
"Okay, Master Paimon..."
Ying was speechless when she saw Paimon's smug look, so she had to cooperate and echoed him twice.
"Then, master boy, in order to make sure your inner strength becomes stronger, you will start weight training tomorrow..."
"Well, how about this? Isn't there a wooden box as tall as a person in the military camp? Pull the box to the beach, fill it with sand, then transport it to the cliff near the camp and pour it into the Wuxiang Blade's narrow space. Repeat this 10 times a day."
Liu Bai took out another rice ball and placed it in position, then began to make a training plan for Paimon.
With Paimon's current internal strength, he can only pick up light objects using the Four Symbols Attraction. The rice ball that floated over just now was shaky.
"Eh--"
Paimon's voice dragged out very long.
……
Inazuma Castle, the house where Liu Bai and Nashida live.
When Funina, who came to eat for free, found out that Liu Bai was not there, she couldn't say that she was just looking for Liu Bai, so she had to continue to eat Nashida's food with a thick face.
Today's dinner was prepared by Nashida according to Inazuma's recipe, a special rice ball.
It looks like just an ordinary rice ball, but inside it is filled with a piece of barbecued pork and delicious gravy.
"Buyer, have you finished one?"
At the dinner table, Furninna saw that there seemed to be an empty rice ball on the plate. She looked at Nashida sitting opposite her in confusion.
"No, I haven't moved yet."
Nashida spread her hands innocently.
Compared to Liu Bai, she has become accustomed to eating with Funina.
After all, Liu Bai doesn't go home for every meal, and the delicious food outside can easily attract her attention. Nashida doesn't care much about this.
But Funina didn't know whether Liu Bai would come back or not, and even if he wasn't there, Funina couldn't give up the idea of freeloading and leave just because Liu Bai was not there.
Because in that case, it would clearly reveal her idea of "wanting to have dinner with Liu Bai".
Therefore, the number of times Nashida had eaten with her exceeded the number of times Liu Bai had eaten with her.
"All right……"
Furninna had no choice but to nod her head.
"Xiaobai won't be back for dinner tonight, let's eat."
It was then that Nashida reminded Furninda.
"Okay, I'm welcome then."
"Hey, hey... Apart from anything else, your cooking skills are really good, Buyer. Can you teach me?"
Furninna nodded and started eating. After taking a few bites, she couldn't help but say something to Nashida.
"Teach you and then you will make it for Xiao Bai? I won't teach you."
Nashida refused without hesitation.
"Wow, you god... don't be so direct. Besides, can't I make it for Violet?"
After hearing Nashida's reason for refusal, Furninha almost choked on the rice ball in her hand. She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of soup and retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Sixty-two years ago, on Navillaette's birthday, you accidentally knocked over the cake you prepared, so you had an idea and gave Navillaette the ingredients and recipe for the cake as a birthday gift."
"But because you can't eat the cake on the spot, we had to urge Violet to learn how to make cakes and make one on the spot."
Nashida held the rice ball in both hands, took a small bite of it, and suddenly talked about Furninna's past experience with a smile.
Furninna glanced to the side guiltily.
"Hehe, come on, eat quickly. The rice balls won't taste good if they're cold."
Narcida reminded Furninha happily.
Funina had no choice but to nod her head obediently and continue eating.
"Eh? Where's my rice ball?"
……
Relying on the bond with food, Paimon became the first master of internal force to master the Four Symbols Attraction.
However, although she started faster than Ying, she had a fatal problem, that is, she was too weak and could not even beat a wild boar.
Her body was too weak to contain powerful internal force, so if she wanted to become stronger and use her internal force for combat, she had to do weight training to strengthen her body.
In comparison, Ying and Krevi have stronger physical fitness, so as soon as they master internal strength, they only need to continue to train and improve their internal strength. Only after reaching a limit do they need to strengthen their bodies simultaneously.
About five days passed like this, and Ying and Krevi had mastered the use of internal energy to a certain extent.
As for Paimon, after she had trained her internal strength to the limit of what her body could bear, she was unable to defeat the wooden box despite trying her best, so she had to lie down in the box and take a nap.
Only when it was time to eat, and he saw food that he couldn't reach, would Paimon raise his hand and use the Four Symbols to get the food.
Her internal strength was not very strong, so she could not lift heavy objects, but it was more than enough for her to carry some food.
Just like that, Paimon, a genius of internal strength, died because of his greed and laziness.
Of course, it could also be that the wooden box was too heavy for her to move.
……
"In two days, it will be the time you agreed to meet with the Coral Palace priestess. I will give you a test tonight. Follow me."
On the fifth night, after Liu Bai tested the internal strength training of Ying and the other two, she explained this to Ying.
Then, under the leadership of Liu Bai, the group left the military camp and came to the high place near the narrow space of Wuxiang Blade.
Looking from here, you can see a village called Himeki Village, but it is still pitch black at night, so it is probably no longer inhabited.
Since the town objects on Bayun Island were destroyed by the rebels, the weather on Bayun Island has always been very unstable. It is cloudy for a long time. Even if it does not rain, the whole sky is covered by dense clouds.
"The Four Symbols Attraction is only the simplest way to use internal energy to leave the body, but it usually cannot leave the body too far. The distance to the other side of the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade is basically the limit for ordinary people."
"And what you have to do is very simple. If you can reach the other side from here without using elemental power, you will pass the first test."
Liu Bai pointed at the opposite side of the narrow space of Wuxiang Blade and spoke to the two of them.
They had only been practicing for five days, and the distance that their internal energy could leave the body was definitely not enough to reach the other side of the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade, so this was a very difficult test.
