Heavenly Dao Child - 319 Working Hard Part-1
Ryuu huffed as a bead of sweat fell from his brow as he dodged another arrow that hit the nearby tree as it firmly imbedded, he jumped and waived his way through the thick foliage and bushes as he made his way to the entrance of the newest house of horrors that his teachers had cooked up for him to practice, his mission to complete a trek of 1000 Kms in 5 days of time dodging dangerous inhabitants of the forest who are trying to kill him nothing here is safe for him even earth, water or air is deadly he had not even had a chance to even rest a bit as he was being actively being hunted by one creature or another and the best part his KI had been completely sealed to the point he did not even have enough KI of a lowest level of Huantian stage, not only that they had placed an array that exerted around 200G of force on him constantly making his bones to scream in pain, he crawled through the forest floor with a tip of a broken spear in his hand as he once again checked the direction from the position of the stars.
Ryuu let out a sigh of frustration at that, ‘I really liked the time when teacher used whack-a-mole to improve my reflex but this!!! It is inhuman and complaining will make my task even harder but I will not give up I will conquer Eden.’, his eyes lit up with an unholy fire of determination as he crawled only for the ground to give in as he fell on a bamboo spike as he felt himself getting skewered.
Ryuu’s vision cleared as he found himself staring at a smiling face of Veena, “Welcome to the land of living Ryuu, how do you feel?”
Ryuu let out a groan as he spoke, “I have been better.”
Veena’s smile increased as she spoke with a smile, “Good then you would be glad to know that you managed to survive for 4 days, 3 hours, 5 minutes and 10 seconds this time and also managed to cross 587 Kms.”
Ryuu sighed as he placed his hand over his forehead as he spoke, “It is not enough.”

Veena nodded at that as she spoke with a sigh, “I know child, I know but that is the thing you are going to face in that place.”
Ryuu sighed at that as he spoke, “I want to do another run.”
Veena shook her head as she spoke, “No child I forbid it, you are to worn out and I doubt you would make even a tenth of your current result in this condition, why don’t you take a nap, you older sisters arrived a few minutes ago with guest, I will call you for lunch say about 2 hours from now.”
Ryuu nodded as he drifted off into sleep he was too tired to even lift his hand as he gained a new form of respect for non cultivators who work so hard without any chance of using any form of KI.
As soon as Veena left the room he was greeted by the smiling visage of Maheswara who simply hugged her as he spoke, “So is he alright?”
Veena nodded in her husband’s embrace as she spoke, “Yes he is although I do not like lying to him, you had raised the gravity to 400G and he travelled about 893Km in that time frame.”
Maheswara had a small smile in his face as he spoke, “I know I also do not like that but you know how he is the more difficult and impossible the goal the more his eagerness to overcome he becomes.”
Veena sighed at that as he spoke, “So true.”, she let go of her husband as she spoke, “Well I have to check my daughters now and Megara, I heard she was injured.”
Maheswara nodded with a frown, “Yes she got injured trying to save Shamiran, and I hope it is not one of her ploy it would be shame to kill her when she protected one of my daughters.”
Veena frown at that as she spoke, “I hope so too as such remember to tell others that no matter what she should never be alone or too close to Ryuu under any circumstances.”
A few minutes later Veena was looking at the face of Megara, a poisonous attack had melted the right side of her face, an unknown poison as such she still needed some time to figure out the antidote for the time being the array was holding the poison as it seemed to be aggravated by KI they had placed another to seal her KI but it was difficult for someone of her caliber as such they had to seal her KI only a part was left that powered the seal that stopped the spread of the poison.
Menelaos and his wife Neaera ahd just arrived in Ayindril it had been such a long time since they had been to Ayindril, upon their arrival they were guided to the place where Megara was kept under forced sleep with a cloth covering the right side of her face.
Nuwa simply gave them a small nod as she spoke, “Welcome brother and sister.”
Menelaos looked at his daughter as he spoke, “How did it happen?”
Nuwa sighed as she spoke, “A poisonous trap had caused damage to her face, until Veena can create an antidote we are keeping her in sleep.”
Ryuu had awakened for a good few minutes now he was lying on his bed in deep thought before he suddenly sat up as he decided to take a bath and a cup of tea to clear his head, he was running a simulation inside his head now all the previous failed attempts he was trying to find any pattern or clue but it was impossible every time he had visited a simulation he was forced to face a different biome and even if he had got into similar biome the enemies were different the map was different and most importantly the conditions were different as such it was frustrating, his musing was cut short when he saw Antariskh.
Ryuu quickly made his way towards her as he spoke, “Big sister when did you came back?”
Antariskh had a put a forced smile on her face as she spoke in a tired tone, “A couple of hours ago Ryuu.”
Ryuu frowned upon seeing such expression on her face as he spoke in a worried tone, “Did something happen, big sister?”
Antariskh sighed at that as she spoke with a sad smile on her face, “Megara got injured badly as such mother is treating her.”
Ryuu eyes widen as he spoke, “May I see the procedure?”
Antariskh contemplated for a minute before she spoke with a sigh, “You may Ryuu but please do not cross the array line, the poison is highly toxic and dangerous it will kill you instantly.”
Ryuu nodded at that as he moved along with Antariskh he was greeted with the sight of Menelaos and Neaera present along with his teachers and his older sisters except his 1st mistress and 2nd older sister, Ryuu simply gave a small bow as he greeted both Menelaos and his wife, “Greetings elders.”
Menelaos spared a glance at him as he nodded at him while his wife did not even acknowledge his presence, causing Ryuu to frown inwardly at that, ‘So rude.’, only for Maheswara to get in between the duo and Ryuu as he slowly moved Ryuu away from them only for Veena to arrive with Shamiran trailing after her.
Ryuu’s brow furrowed upon seeing the robes of her prim and proper Sister caked with blood, as Veena entered she spoke curiously upon seeing Ryuu, “What are you doing here child?”
Antariksh replied on behalf of Ryuu, “He stumbled upon us mother.”
Veena nodded at that as she spoke, “Make sure he does not enter the room.”, with that both Shamiran and her entered the room.
As they entered Shamiran send a weak smile to Ryuu, who replied her with an encouraging one.
‘Child do not make any movement I believe it is an excellent opportunity to give you a lesson, Veena is busy and I am not that well versed with medicine but I will give you a crash course for now by speaking with you telepathically as it would be quite rude to do such in front of the parents try not to make any sudden movement any question you have speaking telepathically.’
Ryuu’s eyes widen suddenly as he heard Maheswara’s voice in his head but whatever he was going to say was stopped as the cloth covering Megara’s face was removed as a gasp came from his side, Megara a women who could give a run for the money to his elder sisters and his teachers on looks before looked like a grotesque monster from a horror movie. Ryuu looked at her face specially the right side had melted completely as her bones could be seen which seemed to be melting as well, her flesh was or a thick sludge formed by her flesh was bubbling as if someone was boiling it under heat, he could see pus as he looked up, he could see through inside through his eye socket and a good chunk of the right part of her brain missing.
