NOVEL FROG Chapter 9: Are You Annoying or What?
Chapter 9: Are You Annoying or What?
"Goddess Sister, are you going to say again that I should become Yu Xiaogang's disciple to help you awaken faster?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to be laughed at!"
Su Mo, having already seen through Bibi Dong's intentions, shook his head and refused before she could even open her mouth.
At the same time, he also subtly displayed his cleverness in front of Bibi Dong.
"..."
Bibi Dong felt so irritated that it made her chest ache.
This brat is smart, sure, but why is he so annoying?
"What were you doing just now?"
Suppressing her frustration, Bibi Dong chose not to engage with Su Mo's refusal and instead asked about what he had been doing earlier.
She had noticed him practicing the horse stance after she appeared but hadn't interrupted him, though she was curious about what Su Mo was doing.
From his posture, it wasn't hard to guess that Su Mo was exercising, but was this really an effective way to train the body?
"Goddess Sister, I was exercising!"
"I read in a book that physical training can improve cultivation results!"
Seeing that Bibi Dong wasn't bringing up the subject of becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Su Mo relaxed and explained to her.
"Who taught you to train your body like that?"
Bibi Dong asked with curiosity.
"No one taught me; I read about it in a book!"
Of course, Su Mo couldn't say that he learned it in his past life.
"You read it in a book? Do you still have that book?"
"I'm not sure where it is now; I can't find it!"
"Then tell me what the book said!"
Bibi Dong was genuinely concerned about Su Mo's training methods. She couldn't let him mess around with his training, especially since his talent was already not great. If he trained recklessly, there might be no hope left at all.
Seeing Bibi Dong's interest, Su Mo didn't hold back and carefully explained the standing meditation practice.
He was also curious to hear Bibi Dong's opinion on this method.
Although this world didn't have such training methods, Bibi Dong's knowledge of martial souls was extensive, and Su Mo thought it would be worth getting her advice.
"This training method seems quite impressive..."
After listening to Su Mo's explanation, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, realizing that Su Mo's standing meditation practice was rather unique.
The key points and theories seemed well thought out, not like something random.
Bibi Dong even thought that this standing meditation practice appeared to be quite profound, more advanced than running or weight training.
"What was the name of that book? Where did you find it?"
Bibi Dong asked Su Mo, her curiosity piqued. She hadn't expected that such a training method existed in this world, something she had never come across before.
"It's called the Tai Chi Stance!"
"It must have been bought by some elder in my family from outside!"
From Bibi Dong's expression, Su Mo knew that she also saw the standing meditation as something extraordinary.
And rightly so, because few soul masters in this world understood the importance of physical training. Even the theoretical master Yu Xiaogang only knew about running and weight training.
"..."
Bibi Dong didn't fully believe Su Mo's explanation, but she decided to let it go. She knew it wasn't something easily bought from outside, but since Su Mo didn't know, she didn't press further. After all, it was just a method of physical training.
"Hmm, it seems pretty good. Keep practicing it then!"
"If you notice anything wrong, stop immediately and tell me!"
"I can't stay out here for too long, so I'll be heading back now!"
After giving Su Mo some casual praise and encouragement, Bibi Dong's figure flickered and then disappeared, returning to Su Mo's body.
She originally planned to talk about Yu Xiaogang's strengths, but seeing Su Mo's continued resistance, Bibi Dong decided to hold off for now.
After Bibi Dong disappeared, Su Mo continued his training. However, instead of resuming his standing meditation, he switched to something else since that practice only needed to be done for a certain amount of time each day.
Buzz—
Su Mo summoned his Soul-Hunting Spear martial soul and began to wield it with both hands.
Swish, swish, swish—
Su Mo's movements were precise and well-practiced, with each thrust, stab, and sweep executed with purpose. The Soul-Hunting Spear in his hands appeared extremely formidable.
In his previous life, Su Mo was skilled with long spears.
Now that his martial soul in this life was also a spear, Su Mo naturally decided to retrain himself so that his current body could master the weapon as well.
Then, it was just a matter of constant refinement!
Practicing spear techniques was also a way to strengthen his body.
Su Mo had already noticed that with the nourishment of soul power, it was indeed possible to begin physical training at a young age without worrying about damaging his still-developing body.
Days passed like this.
Su Mo diligently trained every day, splitting his time between cultivating soul power, practicing his standing meditation, and refining his spear techniques.
Bibi Dong also noticed Su Mo's ability to perform spear techniques so sharply without any formal instruction, and she was greatly surprised.
When she asked Su Mo about it, he simply said it was all based on instinct—self-taught!
If it were someone else, Bibi Dong might not have believed them, but with Su Mo, she had no choice but to accept it.
After all, she knew perfectly well that no one had taught Su Mo.
For a moment, Bibi Dong was astonished by Su Mo's talent.
But then she lamented that such impressive talent was being displayed in spear techniques rather than in martial soul aptitude.
A week later, Su Mo could clearly feel that his physical fitness had improved significantly.
Along with this, the daily limit of his soul power cultivation had also increased slightly.
However, this improvement only raised Su Mo's cultivation limit by less than ten percent, still far from achieving the effect he desired.
Su Mo knew this was inevitable, yet he couldn't help feeling a bit frustrated.
"Improving physical fitness does help with cultivating soul power, but it's only a supplementary effect, not a decisive one."
"The most important factor in cultivating soul power is still the martial soul's innate talent!"
"Little one, you're very diligent, and you're the most determined child I've ever seen!"
"But your martial soul talent is destined to prevent you from becoming a truly powerful soul master, no matter how hard you try."
"Go seek out Yu Xiaogang!"
"Instead of being laughed at, isn't it cooler to become a stronger soul master?"
"If you become Yu Xiaogang's disciple, he can help you overcome your talent limitations!"
"..."
Seeing Su Mo's situation, Bibi Dong bluntly told him the harsh reality about martial soul talent.
Then, she once again encouraged Su Mo to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple.
Su Mo was thoroughly exasperated!
He didn't dare yell at Bibi Dong.
Are you annoying or what?
He was already frustrated enough about his lack of talent, and now Bibi Dong kept bringing it up.
Su Mo finally realized that Bibi Dong was not going to give up until she achieved her goal!
"Fine, fine, Goddess Sister, I'll listen to you!"
"I'll go find Yu Xiaogang right away!"
Frustrated, Su Mo finally agreed.
Since you're so sure that Yu Xiaogang will accept me, I'll let you see for yourself whether he will or not.
