Arceus' pirate journey

Chapter 1476 20: I suspect you have a masochistic tendency
boom!
The tent was overturned with domineering force, and the cold air from the north poured into the tent. The habit of the Bastru people made Esdeath stay alert even in her sleep. When the dangerous breath swept over, she was already awake.

But being awake doesn't mean she can react. The domineering shock triggered her biological instincts, and her stiff muscles couldn't move at all.

"Good morning, are you ready for hell?"

When Esdeath opened her eyes, she saw the spikes of Yamato's mace, and then a shock came from the side, lifting her off the ground.

Ice chips bounced onto her face. Although this was a snowy field, the ice had become harder than rock due to the accumulation of snow all year round. Under the mace, it made no difference.

If that fell on me.
No, there's no need to hit it. Just touching the edge will probably get you killed.

but
This is good. Only in this kind of environment can we become stronger.

"Ready."

"It's too late to regret now. Wait, can you say it again?"

Yamato felt something was wrong. The various rare ingredients and gourmet hunters in the world of Gourmet Captives made her feel powerful. The monsters in the world of Inuyasha made her feel disgusted, but Esdeath made her doubt her life.

Not only was she not afraid, she was even smiling, and there was a hint of excitement on her face.

"I say, can't you be afraid for a moment? You're making me feel unfulfilled."

In Esdeath, Yamato suddenly felt powerless in the face of Kaido.

“Being afraid can’t change the outcome. Only by being strong can you survive better. So no matter how scary it is, I’m ready.”

"That's true, but can't you resist a little? It's like there's a better way, but you have to accept this kind of training. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well if this is a necessary disguise, then I can try."

Esdeath used her own logic to understand Yamato's words. Fighting dangerous species does not necessarily have to be a head-on confrontation. Some cunning dangerous species hide very deep, so at this time, you have to make yourself appear very weak and lure them out of the cave.

Then, in just a few seconds, Esdeath revealed a pitiful appearance, and her trembling body seemed to show that she was very scared, but Yamato could see that she was ready to fight back at any time.

"Forget it, that's it. I'll just leave it at that. I'll think about what that bastard dad did back then and now I remember. Now attack me with all your strength. I want to see how far you can go.

You can use any weapon, any means, do you want me to prepare weapons for you?"

"No, I'm armed."

Esdeath took out a dagger from her body, and took out a series of tools including a bow and arrow, a short spear, etc. from the package she was carrying.

"Start now?"

"As long as you are ready, remember, you have to act with the intention of killing me, otherwise you may not even be able to touch me."

Yamato had to try and see what intensity of training would not cause the opponent to die suddenly due to unexpected factors. After much thought, he decided that getting beaten was the most practical method.

However, Yamato did not expect Esdeath's decisiveness.

As soon as she said she could start at any time, a short spear was thrown at her.

"Okay, that's decisive enough. Go ahead."

Yamato stood still and controlled her hair to wrap around the short spear thrown at her. This was an application of life return. With her strength, anyone could control the body.

However, in most cases, the significance of this ability is limited and it is not their main focus, but it is still very useful in training children.

Yamato's body shape is also approaching that of an ordinary person. As she travels around the world, she realizes that her body shape is a bit unconventional and she would attract attention in many places, so when she returns to Onigashima, she specifically learns how to become smaller.

Compared to using life return to compress her original body, the regular transformation skill of shrinking her body made her feel more comfortable.

"Can you still stand up? If you can, continue."

Esdeath had no idea how many times she had been knocked flying. After making sure that Esdeath could withstand the force, Yamato started to fight back. From that moment on, Esdeath never got hit by Yamato again.

"Well enough"

Esdeath, lying on the snow, tried hard to get up, but her body had reached its limit. Life in the polar regions had turned her into a weapon, but she still couldn't exceed her limit.

"Okay, that's about it. Let's stop here for the morning exercise. Take a break. Next is the formal training in the morning."

After checking the thickness of the snow nearby, Yamato opened his mouth and spit out a stream of fire, melting the snow and ice while creating a hot spring. After diluting some medicine into it, he threw Esdeath into it.

"Cough cough."

Esdeath choked on the water a few times, but found that the pain in her body was easing.

"This stuff is good for your body, just soak in it. That's how I got through it."

Kaido’s educational philosophy has always been to beat someone to death if you can’t kill him. As long as you repeat this process, you will become stronger. This is the most straightforward logic in Kaido’s cognition.

However, this process cannot be done without the assistance of external forces. Without adequate nutritional supplements and drug treatment, training of this intensity will kill people first.

Training, getting injured, treatment, and continuing training, this was what Yamato hated the most at the beginning.

"Um, are you a Teigu user? Wind, fire, ice, and hair, are these the abilities of your Teigu?"

Imperial tools, special weapons of this world.

In order to maintain long-term rule, the founding emperor of the empire summoned the world's top craftsmen with unimaginable financial resources and power.

These craftsmen used legendary extremely dangerous species as materials, combined with rare metals such as Orichalcum and a large number of lost secret techniques, to develop forty-eight weapons that could not be replicated and called them "Imperial Tools".

Even though later emperors wanted to replicate it, they ultimately failed.

In this world, all kinds of strange abilities are often related to imperial weapons.

“No, some of it is the strength I developed through physical training, and some of it was given to me by my adoptive father. This is not the key point. Since you are willing to ask this, then I have almost recovered.

That's the right word, learning through entertainment. We can't train so intensely all the time, let's play a game."

“I think we can train directly.”

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think, can't you think about something relaxing at your age?"

Yamato even suspected that Esdeath had a bit of a masochistic tendency. She showed no intention of backing down all morning and instead wanted to start the next step of training as soon as possible.

"Change your clothes, let's have a snowball fight to relax, and then we'll go have breakfast."

Yamato grabbed a ball of snow and kept squeezing it. Soon, an ice ball appeared in her hand.

"Be careful, it will hurt."
