Chapter 09: Chapter 9

Zhou Zilong nodded, put on his helmet, and prepared to start a new practice.

The machines on the construction site roared, and the workers were busy moving materials. Zhou Zilong stood aside and observed how they worked. He took a deep breath and felt the smell of dust and sweat in the air. This was an experience he had never had before, but he knew that this was the only way to grow up.

He picked up a shovel and began to shovel the soil on the ground. He swung the shovel vigorously and shoveled the soil into the cart. Every swing made him feel that his strength was gradually increasing.

As time went by, Zhou Zilong's sweat soaked his clothes, his face was covered with dust, but his eyes flashed with a firm light. He kept shoveling soil and pushing carts, repeating this seemingly simple action. His hands were rubbed red, but he did not stop. Because he knew that only through unremitting efforts and persistence can he become a real warrior.

Turtle Immortal stood aside, quietly observing Zhou Zilong, and then secretly discussed something with the contractor.

As time went by, Zhou Zilong gradually adapted to the rhythm of the construction site. His shoveling speed became faster and faster, and his cart became more and more stable. Finally, the contractor gave Master Kame a daily wage for 6 people.

At 5 pm, when the last brick and stone fell on the construction site, Zhou Zilong followed Master Kame to the quiet lake. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled all over the island, and the golden light embellished the lake with sparkling waves.

Master Kame pointed to the other side of the lake and said to Zhou Zilong: "Zilong, you have sweated enough today." Master Kame stroked his white beard and showed a satisfied smile on his face. "The next practice is swimming, which can not only exercise your physical strength, but also improve your endurance and perseverance. You swim to the other side and come back, so ten trips back and forth will be enough! "

Zhou Zilong nodded. He had long been accustomed to the strict training of Master Kame. He took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles, took a deep breath, and plunged into the lake.

The lake water was clear and bottom-clear, and Zhou Zilong seemed to have entered a whole new world. He swam forward with all his strength, and every stroke seemed to be fighting against his own limit.

Practicing in the lake was not easy, and Zhou Zilong soon felt tired. But he did not give up. He knew that this was a test from Master Kame. He gritted his teeth and continued to swim forward.

As time went by, Zhou Zilong gradually adapted to the environment in the lake. His speed became faster and faster, and his physical strength was gradually recovering. He felt as if he had merged with the lake water, and every breath was full of strength.

Just then, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. He looked up and saw a huge shark swimming towards him.

Zhou Zilong was startled, but he soon calmed down. He knew that this was a test deliberately arranged by the turtle master. He took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing and rhythm. He no longer swam desperately like before, but used the power of the water flow and the movement trajectory of the shark to cleverly avoid the shark's attack.

The shark seemed to be angered by Zhou Zilong's actions. It sped up and launched a more fierce attack on Zhou Zilong. But Zhou Zilong was not afraid. He used his wisdom and courage to avoid the shark's attack again and again. He felt that his heart was full of strength, as if he could overcome all difficulties.

At this moment, the voice of the turtle master rang in Zhou Zilong's ears: "Zilong, remember, a real warrior must not only have strong strength, but also have a calm mind and firm belief. Only in this way can you remain undefeated in the face of a powerful enemy! "

When Zhou Zilong heard what Master Kame said, his heart moved, as if he understood something. He took a deep breath and swam forward. He no longer avoided the shark's attack, but rushed towards the shark. He hit the shark's head hard with his fist. The shark screamed and sank to the bottom of the lake.

After the swimming training, Master Kame took Zhou Zilong to a big tree. The tree was towering into the sky, with lush branches and leaves, as if it was the guardian of nature. Master Kame untied a very thick rope from his waist, and then tied one end to Zhou Zilong's waist.

"Zilong, this is the last training for today," Master Kame said, pointing to the rope, "This rope will limit your range of movement, and your task is to effectively avoid the enemy's ten thousand needle attacks within the range of the rope's movement! "

Zhou Zilong's heart tightened when he heard this. He knew that this kind of practice seemed simple, but it was extremely difficult to implement. He needed to stay alert at all times and react quickly, otherwise he would be stabbed by those tiny needles. Although Xiao Ling gave him the ability of a steel body, he didn't know what the current steel body was.How far can he fight?

Seeing Zhou Zilong's nervous expression, Turtle Hermit smiled slightly, then quietly walked under the tree. He jumped lightly and jumped onto the branch, then hit hard and knocked down the hornet's nest on the tree.

"Buzz--"

A sharp buzzing sound rang out, and a large group of angry hornets flew out of the hive, and their target was Zhou Zilong who was standing there.

Seeing this, Zhou Zilong immediately concentrated his mind and prepared to deal with this sudden attack. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the flying hornets.

However, just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly found that the hornets were very fast and there were so many of them that he couldn't knock them all down at once. He was anxious and wanted to move quickly to avoid the attack, but the rope on his waist limited his range of movement.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Zhou Zilong warned himself in his heart. He took a deep breath and began to move his body slowly. He tried to avoid the hornet's attack by adjusting his posture and pace.

However, this was not an easy task. The attacks of the hornets were very dense and rapid. Zhou Zilong would be stung if he was not careful. Although it did not cause any damage, it was very annoying. He could only constantly adjust his body posture and breathing rhythm to deal with these attacks.

In this process, Zhou Zilong's reaction speed and body coordination were greatly exercised. He gradually became able to accurately judge the attack trajectory and speed of the hornets, and was able to make quick judgments to avoid the attacks.

Finally, after half an hour, Zhou Zilong finally successfully avoided all the attacks of the hornets. He felt that his body seemed to become lighter and more flexible. He looked up at the branch where the turtle master was, and saw that the turtle master was looking at him with a smile.

"Not bad! Zilong, you did a good job!" The turtle master praised loudly, "You have successfully completed today's practice task!"

The next day, Zhou Zilong started the same practice path as yesterday, but the difference was that this time, the turtle master asked him to carry a turtle shell weighing about 20 kilograms.
