Chapter 88: As Long as Training Doesn’t Kill Me, I’ll Train to the Death (2/2)

“Master, go for it!”

Cheese and Sugar, who had caught up, cheered on Shen Cheng together. Seeing this, Shen Cheng worked even harder!

In the end, Shen Cheng successfully lifted the grindstone, carrying it on his back. Drenched in sweat, he looked at Shen Yu with joy and said, “Grandpa! I did it…”

“Next, warm up by frog jumping around the Shen Family compound with it on your back. No food until you finish!” Shen Yu, with his hands behind his back, harshly interrupted Shen Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng was stunned as if struck by lightning, nearly dropping the grindstone he carried.

On this supposedly peaceful morning, Shen Cheng truly took one step at a time. Each jump created a loud thud, leaving a deep crater behind.

Indoors, Shen Wei looked at the trembling tea in his cup, his mouth twitching.

“Dad… he’s not going to cripple my son, is he?”

After thinking for a moment, Shen Wei shouted towards the kitchen, “Wife! Remember to cook more food!”

Chen Qing poked her head out, shaking the soup ladle with a smile, “I know!”

At that moment in the courtyard, Lin Yuhui held Xue’er, Milk Tea held Yanyan, and Cheese and Sugar sat squatting side by side. All the girls watched Shen Cheng doing frog jumps around the Shen Family compound, waiting for breakfast together.

Shen Die, carrying a schoolbag, saw this scene as she left the house. Her face turned to panic, and without even asking Shen Cheng for her red ticket, she hurriedly fled the Shen Family like the wind.

Finally, when the sun was high in the sky, the sweat-soaked Shen Cheng finished the full round of frog jumps around the Shen Family compound.

“Good boy!” Shen Yu stepped forward, patting Shen Cheng on the shoulder with a smile. “Drop the grindstone. You can eat now, but after eating, we continue training!”

Shen Cheng stiffly turned his head, looking at Shen Yu with a tearful face and said, “Grandpa, my legs are too weak to move…”

Shen Yu: “…”

Seeing Shen Yu stretch out his hand, he lifted the grindstone with one hand and tossed it aside with a loud thud, then sternly said to the stunned Shen Cheng, “Get up and eat!”

After witnessing Shen Yu’s immense strength once again, Shen Cheng forced himself to stand, his legs trembling. Several of the girls rushed forward to support him, but Shen Yu stopped them, saying, “If this brat needs your help with this, then all the training I’ve put him through would be meaningless!”

The cat girls didn’t fully understand Shen Yu’s words, but they obediently stopped in their tracks, watching as Shen Cheng shakily stood up on his own.

Only Lin Yuhui seemed to truly grasp Shen Yu’s meaning. She frowned slightly as she gazed at Shen Cheng.

Shen Yu led the way, with Shen Cheng following closely behind him, and the girls trailed after Shen Cheng.

Back inside, Chen Qing had already prepared breakfast. The ravenous Shen Cheng wolfed down three large bowls of rice before finally stopping—he couldn’t eat too much, as there was still more training to come later.

After breakfast, Shen Cheng followed Shen Yu to the martial arts hall, and of course, the girls followed along to watch him train.

As Shen Cheng picked up the wooden staff with his still-trembling hands, Shen Yu asked, “Can you really spar with me like this?”

“Grandpa, just bring it on! Today, I’m determined to give you a lump on your head!” Shen Cheng grinned at Shen Yu.

Hearing this, Shen Yu burst into laughter, “You brat! Come on then, try it!”

And so, the elder and the youth began to spar.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Unlike the previous day’s one-sided beating, today, Shen Cheng was able to hold his own against Shen Yu. Although he still couldn’t touch even the hem of Shen Yu’s clothes, at least he wasn’t being pounded like a wooden fish anymore. Shen Cheng could now block most of Shen Yu’s attacks even without relying on dynamic vision.

Although it was clear to anyone watching that Shen Yu was holding back a lot, there was no denying that Shen Cheng was improving rapidly under Shen Yu’s guidance.

“Buzz—”

By the time noon approached and it was nearly time for lunch, the two wooden staffs collided at each other’s necks, freezing them in place.

After a moment of stalemate, Shen Yu sighed in satisfaction, put away his staff, and said, “Let’s eat. No need to practice with the staff this afternoon, it’s time to practice your fists.”
