The Devil’s Training Begins!

Alright, let's summarize my **current disaster**:

- I **accidentally impressed my father, Luo Tian.**

- Instead of being suspicious, he's **now personally training me.**

- I **cracked an Ironwood dummy** (barely), but now my father **expects even more.**

…In short, I **dug my own grave.**

### **The Morning From Hell**

The next day, before the sun even rose, a servant **shook me awake.**

"Young Master Zin, the Patriarch is waiting in the courtyard."

I groaned. **"Can't a baby get some sleep?"**

The servant **looked terrified.** "If you're late, the Patriarch might—"

I shot up. **"I'm up! I'm up!"**

I hurried outside, where **Luo Tian stood with his arms crossed.**

He didn't even greet me.

**"Run."**

…Excuse me?

---

### **The Training Begins**

I stared at him. "Run where?"

Luo Tian gestured toward the **stone path leading up the mountain.**

**"To the top. If you fall behind, I'll increase the weight on your legs."**

…What.

I looked down.

Two **small metal rings** were already attached to my ankles.

**This man had been planning this from the start.**

I opened my mouth to protest, but then—

**"Go."**

A terrifying **pressure** filled the air.

And I ran.

### **The Mountain of Suffering**

At first, I thought, *Okay, it's just running. I can handle this.*

But then, **I felt it.**

- The **metal rings grew heavier** with every step.

- The **path was steep**, with sharp turns and uneven ground.

- The **air was thinner** as I climbed.

After just **ten minutes**, I was panting like a dying dog.

And I was **one year old.**

**[Physical Endurance Training Detected. +0.001 Evil Points]**

…System, do you think this is a joke?!

### **A Cruel Lesson**

Halfway up, my legs **gave out.**

I collapsed onto the ground, **gasping for air.**

Luo Tian, who had been walking behind me **calmly**, finally spoke.

"Are you done?"

I gritted my teeth. "No… I can still…"

Before I could finish, **he kicked a rock at me.**

It hit my **shoulder**, sending me tumbling back.

I **glared up at him.**

"…What was that for?"

Luo Tian's expression was **calm**. "If you collapse in a real fight, do you think your enemy will wait for you?"

I stayed silent.

"This world," he continued, "does not care if you're tired. If you stop moving, you die."

His eyes locked onto mine. **"Get up."**

I clenched my fists.

And I did.

### **Reaching the Top**

By the time I **finally reached the top**, the sun had **fully risen.**

I collapsed onto the ground, my entire body **aching.**

Luo Tian walked up beside me, looking **completely unaffected.**

He nodded. "Good. Tomorrow, we do it again."

…Tomorrow?!

---

### **The Unwanted Reputation**

For the next **week**, this **hellish training continued.**

By the end of it, the **entire family knew.**

- Servants whispered about the **one-year-old who ran up mountains.**

- Disciples started calling me **"the little monster."**

- Even some **elders** began to take notice.

Luo Yuyan **stopped questioning me.** Luo Qing? She just looked **amused.**

And my father?

He **smiled more often.**

Which was **terrifying.**

---

### **The Next Stage**

After another week of this **torture**, my father **suddenly changed things.**

Instead of making me run, he **brought me to a training ground.**

"Now," he said, "it's time to refine your technique."

I blinked. **"…What?"**

He **raised a hand.**

Then—

**BOOM.**

The **earth trembled** as a powerful shockwave erupted from his palm.

He turned to me. **"Do the same."**

I stared at him.

I was **ONE YEAR OLD.**

But I had no choice.

I clenched my fists…

And prepared for **another week of suffering.**

### **Ending Hook**

Luo Zin has survived the **first phase** of training, but now he must prove his **control over the Earth-Shattering Hand.**

Can he actually replicate his father's devastating power?

Stay tuned for **Chapter 9: Breaking Limits!**
