Chapter 113: Refreshing: Death!

In a place where one could see the sun rising over their heads, Desire was currently sitting with his eyes closed.

The way he saw was exactly how one would sit when one is training.

He even had the aura and the seriousness needed to look like he was exactly training!

However, that was not what Desire was doing right now.

What he was doing was...stretching.

Right, Desire was currently stretching his mind and body as he sat on the ground.

It was crazy if you think about how stretching requires one to stretch one's body literally.

However, that didn't matter to Desire at all as he just continued sitting.

It has been a while since he has done this, and this was the only thing he was doing.

Why? It was because that was the order of his master.

However, there was something Desire didn't understand.

And that was...

'What's the point of doing this...'

Desire couldn't understand a thing of why he should do this 'stretching.'

After all, Desire couldn't feel anything special or something like that forming inside him.

He also didn't feel any strength or any realization after sitting like a stone for a while.

If Desire had to give something that he gained from doing this, it would be confusion.

All this 'stretching' caused confusion to Desire.

However, the reason why he didn't stop doing it is that his master is still there.

"I bet you're thinking, what's the point of all this?" Lionel said as he walked back and forth in front of Desire.

And the place where they were was a forest which was owned by the Lion Clan.

No, it was actually a secret facility that only the upper echelon of the Lion Clan knows.

After all, this belongs to the clan master of the Lion Clan.

This was also where Lionel trains himself or goes back to warm up or something like that.

"Hmm! Hmm! It's good that you are thinking about that, but it's no good if you think this is pointless." Lionel said.

The first thing that Lionel does when he starts training is to do this kind of 'stretching.'

This was something that was like a core practice for him, and that was why he was making his disciple go under it too.

After all, he is the one who decides what the student should do to learn.

What's more, Lionel could confidently say that this stretching is something that one needs to become stronger.

And it is also something that one needs in order to fight better!

It was crazy if you think about how Desire is just sitting there.

However, that was not the point of this 'stretching.'

"This training is what I call Refreshing."

"Refreshing is something that you will do every time you start training."

"There are three stages of Refreshing, but I will only teach you the first one."

And when Lionel said what he said, Desire had thought inside his head.

'Isn't this the first stage?'

After all, Desire was already doing this Refreshing thing for a while now, and that was why he thought that this was the first stage.

If this weren't the first stage of Refreshing, Desire didn't even know why he did this for a while.

And that was why he was about to say something, but Lionel beat him to it.

"I know what you're thinking, little bastard."

"You're new to Refreshing, and that's why I had you sit down for an hour."

"It is essential because your body won't be able to take it if you start Refreshing right away."

Lionel said as he smirked. After all, he knew what exactly was going on inside Desire's head right now.

However, it's not like Lionel was proud of himself for knowing Desire's thoughts.

What he was proud of was that Desire was thinking. He didn't count on his teacher's words alone and was giving his own thoughts on the matter.

And the reason why Lionel could tell what Desire was thinking is that Lionel's observation skills were just top-notch.

The way Desire's face muscles moved told Lionel something. The way how Desire was breathing told Lionel something.

It was all thanks to how Desire's body was suddenly changing that Lionel knew that Desire was thinking.

It was crazy, if you think about it, but that was just how strong Lionel is.

"Now that's out of the way, I'll teach you the first stage of Refreshing."

"You have a trait better than Cold-blooded, right?" Lionel said.

And as Desire was about to answer Lionel's question, he was cut off.

After all, he showed signs that he was thinking.

"Ah, you don't have to answer. It's obvious, anyway. There's no way a child like you would have an adult mindset."

"Anyway, what I want you to do is to close your senses."

"That should be possible as Jarina could do that herself."

As Desire got something better than Jarina's Cold-Blooded Trait, Desire should be able to do that easily.

Of course, that's Lionel's thoughts.

"You don't have to worry about you not being able to hear me."

Lionel said.

And Desire immediately got to work. What Lionel wanted him to do was actually simple.

Desire was doing this every day since he was training back in Skinjur.

And that was why Desire was 'back' to his 'home' now.

And as soon as he did, he had a thought.

'What will I do here?'

However, that thought soon ended as Lionel's voice entered his 'ears.'

"See? You don't have to worry about not hearing me as you're not strong to block me!"

"Kuhahahahaha!" Lionel laughed.

And Desire was just...staring at the air blankly. After all, he didn't expect that his teacher would do something like this.

Of course, he knew that this was not the end.

That was why he waited patiently for Lionel to stop laughing.

And when Lionel spoke once more, Desire heard something...unbelievable.

"Now that you're in that state, the first stage of Refreshing is..."

"Death."
