A Moment of Clarity

Thinking this far, Di Tou started scrubbing a bit harder with the soap. After all, if he was going to hit himself with a whip or anything that would lacerate the skin, it might be awhile until he could use soap comfortably again… Although using soap to further the pain after it had already started dying down wouldn't be a bad idea to further his training. 

Thinking about it this way, it actually seemed like a good idea. If using the soap would allow him to re-experience the pain without causing additional injury it seemed like a rather good way to train effectively while lowering any repercussions. Further, it should clean the wounds so they'd be less likely to be infected right?

While in some part of his mind, Di Tou was aware that ordinary soap probably wouldn't help that much for wounds and preventing infections, he also didn't have any better idea as to how he could deal with it… so this seemed like a decent idea if any.
