Primordial Harem System

Chapter 35: 4 Days Later

Some time passed as they fought for 30 minutes this time, and even though Shen Yuan lasted much longer this time compared to his previous match, he still couldn't land a decent punch on the puppet. But Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong were shocked by his progress.

It wasn't normal by any means to be able to improve so fast. Mere physique or bloodline can't explain this, there was something much greater about Shen Yuan that they couldn't see.

Shen Yuan sat up straight and picked up the healing elixir that his mom had given him earlier. He chugged it down at once.

"Haah, this hits the spot." He said loudly after finishing drinking the elixir. Shen Yuxin who was on her way towards Shen Yuan giggled slightly as she heard what he said, Bing Rong and Huo Rong were also giggling slightly.

Bing Rong said, "Yuan'er, it's a healing elixir that you drank, not alcohol, why are you reacting so exaggerating hahaha."

Shen Yuan replied in an intrigued tone, "I just felt like it, why? Do I look like a clown?"

Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong all nodded their heads at once, Shen Yuan just shook his head and replied, "Alright, let's drop this topic now."

Shen Yuxin nodded her head and asked, "Now, will you train or take some rest?"

Shen Yuan replied with a smirk, "Of course I will train."

…

Time continued to pass as Shen Yuan was immersed in training, four days soon passed.

During these 4 days Shen Yuan was fully immersed in his training, he trained for the whole day, and in the evening he either played with Huo Rong and Bing Rong or spent the time in the library gathering knowledge.

The system also issued a few missions and gave him rewards. But there was nothing worth mentioning.

Shen Yuan stood in front of the training puppet once again on the 4th day, while Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong stood some distance away, observing their battles.

Huo Rong asked Shen Yuxin, "What do you think, Master? Will Yuan'er be able to finally win against the puppet? Yesterday he was able to fight toe to toe with it at the end of his training."

Shen Yuxin smiled proudly and replied, "Of course, he can win. He is improving at such a rapid rate that all the other geniuses are far behind him. But this training puppet is also of the lowest quality in terms of martial arts ability."

Bing Rong nodded her head and said, "That's true but we can't forget that Shen Yuan is only 7 years old, he is still improving at a rapid rate, when he becomes 18 years old he will be as skilled as a master martial artist who has been training for at least 50 years."

They continued chatting as Shen Yuan and the puppet started fighting. They were exchanging blows for blow, not one of them taking a single step back, with Shen Yuan's recent training his strength control also became much better.

Even though he didn't increase his physical powers his mastery over them helped him contend with the puppet whose strength was higher than himself.

The puppet made use of its footwork to try to confuse Shen Yuan as usual but he already learned its pattern and was able to counter it with ease.

After parrying another blow, he suddenly punched the puppet in the center of the chest, making a crack appear. From the start of the fight, he was aiming to weaken that part of the puppet with continued attacks so that with a final blow he could win.

And he finally managed to make that blow. The puppet stopped moving with its defeat. Shen Yuan's breathing was rapid due to his exhaustion, he wasn't only drained physically but also mentally due to his high-intensity battle.

Shen Yuxin Huo Rong and Bing Rong came towards him and congratulated him on his win against the puppet.

Shen Yuxin was the first one to say, "Congratulations, Shen Yuan. You finally managed to defeat your first opponent, but from now on, there will only be stronger opponents for you to face."

Shen Yuan nodded his head in all seriousness. Even though he was exhausted, he couldn't hide the excited gleam in his eyes, having finally managed to defeat his first opponent gave him a different type of exhilaration.

Almost as if he was born to win against everyone. Shen Yuan then asked his mom, "Now what should I do Mom? Should I fight stronger opponents or cultivate?"

He asked her for advice since he knew next to nothing about cultivation, Shen Yuxin nodded in approval and began speaking,

"It's good that you ask for advice Yuan'er, most geniuses refuse to speak with others about their cultivation due to being so proud of their achievements. Now since you have a good enough foundation we will focus on increasing your cultivation base."

Shen Yuan nodded and sat down cross-legged to stabilize his breathing first, he referred to the Chaos Body Refinement Technique and used its breathing exercise to relieve his stress. Not even 5 minutes passed and he already was as good as before he started his training.

It was due to the double effect of the healing elixir and his breathing technique. He stood up and asked, "How should I train now, Mom?"

"Now that you are still in the flesh training realm, of course, we will have to train your flesh, you will undergo intense training to put pressure on your flesh. Let's start with push-ups, you will do push-ups until you collapse." Shen Yuxin spoke in a strict tone, not allowing Shen Yuan to slack in his training.

Shen Yuan, who was expecting tough training got confused as he could do push-ups for as long as he wanted with his current physique, he asked, "Umm, Mom, are you sure that you want me to do push-ups?"

Shen Yuxin nodded her head and sternly said, "Yes, you should start first, you will understand it as you push yourself against your limits."

Shen Yuan nodded and turned around to go towards his training spot, he secretly ate a Flesh Enhancement Pill that he got from the system before. Looking forward to seeing its effect.
