Feng Xiaotian and the others were completely in despair, supporting each other as they left.
Ye Yu headed to the Tian Dou Royal Family to see the situation. Because of himself, the Martial Soul Hall would surely accelerate its control over the Tian Dou Royal Family.
Shrek had moved to Tian Dou City, and Ye Yu quickly arrived. Now that he was a celebrity, even the guards immediately recognized him and showed great respect.
Emperor Xue Ye had already issued a statement that all soul masters of the Tian Dou Royal Family must show utmost respect towards Ye Yu.
Ye Yu's strength had already been heard by Emperor Xue Ye. As a member of the Tian Dou Empire, and having enmity with the Martial Soul Hall, coupled with Master and Shrek's connections with the Empire, Ye Yu was on the same front as them.
He arrived at the Imperial Guard training location, where training was underway.
The Empire had many soul masters, but not many were under the Royal Family's control — only about five thousand, and all Grand Soul Masters. Soul Venerables, Soul Sects, and Soul Kings were few in number, and Soul Saints and Soul Douluo were even rarer.
Such strength couldn't compare to the Martial Soul Hall, so even if the Two Great Empires combined, they weren't a match.
At this time, five thousand soul masters were divided into twenty training groups, with the Master currently training five hundred Strong Attack Type soul masters.
A Soul Saint was releasing a Gravity Soul Skill affecting each soul master, starting the weight-training without using soul power and soul techniques, running around the training ground.
The training intensity was high, and the duration was long, continuously monitored by the Master.
Knowing the Master was very tired, Liu Erlong was accompanying him to share the burden.
"It's too exhausting! This gravity weighs five hundred pounds. Running twenty laps under such gravity, with each lap being two thousand meters, is simply impossible. It's not something humans can endure."
A soul master in training stopped, lying down directly on the ground, gasping heavily, drenched in sweat.
With one person leading, many others stopped to lie down and rest.
The Master frowned and said, "Not something humans can endure? Given your age of thirty to forty and level, this isn't excessive. If you can't endure it, you can't progress."
"It's easy to say. Try it if you can."
"Exactly, try it if you can. It's too hard; if this goes on for a long time, we'll collapse from exhaustion."
With someone leading, complaints surged.
"Indeed, it's too hard."
"Even Soul Saints and Soul Douluo can't withstand such high-intensity training without relying on soul power alone."
Liu Erlong, naturally ill-tempered, suddenly got angry, and her mighty soul power swept out, pressing down on these people.
The Master shouted, "Stop."
Liu Erlong reluctantly halted, and the Master said, "Okay, then I'll train with you."
Hearing this, Er'long got anxious, "Xiao Gang, you're not in good health, and you're quite old. You haven't slept for days; you can't endure it."
Immediately, the people in training all stopped.
"Indeed, you can't endure it either. What's to talk about training us?"
"This isn't training — it's abuse."
"It's too difficult! Try it, and you'll know!"
...
While they were complaining, a voice of disdain sounded, entering the gravity area.
"It's not difficult at all; it's quite easy."
Walking in from afar, Ye Yu casually covered a hundred meters and reached here.
Looking at the youth younger than them, they found him familiar and soon recognized him.
"He's Ye Yu."
"No wonder he's the recently renowned Ye Yu across the continent; he managed to remain composed."
"Although he didn't use soul power or techniques, he only walked a hundred meters. If I did that, I'd also remain composed. Try running twenty laps; you'd be just as exhausted as us."
"Yes, if you're capable, run twenty laps too."
...
Ye Yu shook his head and said, "No need, right? I walked a hundred meters; isn't that enough?"
Suddenly, other soul masters laughed.
"Certainly not enough. Even though your strength surpasses ours, even Soul Saints and Soul Douluo can't withstand it without relying on soul power and techniques; you can't either."
"Only a hundred meters is enough? We've run five laps — ten thousand meters!"
"If you can do it, then we'll continue training."
...
Ye Yu calmly said, "A hundred meters are definitely enough to prove it, because I'm also carrying a sword, and it's very heavy."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the giant sword on Ye Yu's back, resembling a black ruler. The sword naturally attracted attention, but could it be so heavy?
"Just a sword, how heavy can it be?"
"Looks like at most a hundred pounds."
"Just because of this sword on your back, you think walking a hundred meters is enough? Too…"
Boom!!!!
Just then, Ye Yu removed the sword, Unbeatable, from his back, and as he released it, Unbeatable fell directly to the ground.
Though merely a sword fell to the ground, it moved quickly and landed in the blink of an eye. In the moment when all the soul masters could not react, the earth shook and a thunderous sound ensued.
All the soul masters in the huge training ground staggered and fell; the vast training field, tens of thousands of square meters, trembled and wide cracks spread throughout the training area, leaving all soul masters stunned.
"What… what is happening?"
They were extremely shocked, their eyes widened, pupils contracted as they stared at the spot where the giant sword had landed, creating a sky of a hundred meters diameter.
"Could it… be because of that sword?!!
"How… how is this possible?! It's just a sword, how could it create such a momentum when falling?"
"It's too unbelievable! It is akin to a mountain crashing down!"
...
Looking at the shocked training soul masters, Ye Yu asked, "Do I still need to run twenty laps?"
Immediately, they shook their heads in shock, "No… no need…"
They asked, shocked, "Your… your sword, how heavy is it?"
Ye Yu replied, "Nineteen thousand pounds."
"What?!!"
Suddenly, all eyes widened in extreme shock, even Master and Liu Erlong, who knew how demonic Ye Yu was, were surprised.
The soul masters in training couldn't believe it, nineteen thousand pounds?!!
"How… how is this possible?!!"
Although incredulous and unimaginable, seeing the momentum from the sword's fall, it seemed reasonable.
"Can't imagine! To carry a nineteen thousand-pound sword so freely, it's as if moving normally; how is it done?"
"So… so terrifying…"
The Master was very gratified, looking at the training soul masters and asking, "Now, do you feel that training under five hundred pounds of gravity can be endured?"
Their complaints completely vanished, shocked, they asked, "Are you… are you really human?"
Liu Erlong kicked that soul master over and said, "Stop talking nonsense, continue training! For anyone who stopped just now, lap count resets! Stop once, and it resets! No matter how many laps have been run!"
Immediately, the other soul masters got up and started running.
They were also very curious at the same time, "Ye Yu, what level is your soul power now? You're so powerful; was it the Master's training that did this?"
Ye Yu nodded, "Of course, Master is my teacher. Being this strong is also related to the teacher's guidance."
Immediately, other soul masters felt invigorated and very excited.
"We will definitely follow any training methods of the Master; we can grow this strong!"
Ye Yu encouraged, "Keep it up."
Ye Yu naturally didn't mention that Unbeatable was only dozens of pounds for him, but even carrying nineteen thousand pounds, he could endure it now.
