Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

617  Preparation for War Celebration

"That's good." Nan Luo sighed in relief. He heard that Nan Hua was poisoned two weeks ago, but he felt that it was weird considering that the real Nan Hua was at the battlefield. Thus, he knew that the one poisoned was her substitute.

Still, this made him very angry.

To think that someone would dare to try to poison his twin sister when he was away! He really wanted to give them a smash on their faces to make sure that they would never dare to do something like that ever again.

"Try not to say the wrong words when we're outside." Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo. If he called her with the name <Hua'er> when they were outside, it was very likely that someone would make the association between Nan and Nan Hua.

Considering that Nan Hua and Nan Luo were twins who were look alike, some people might even dare to think that Nan might be Nan Hua if they heard it.

"I didn't mean to do it…." Nan Luo's face looked aggrieved. It was not like he purposely called out Nan Hua because he wanted to, alright? He was just used to call Nan Hua with that nickname.

Nan Hua didn't bother with Nan Luo's pleading face.

"Is it hard to go back and forth to that residence?" Being ignored by Nan Hua, Nan Luo chose to change the conversation while he walked out.

"The defense has increased, but it's still fine."

For Nan Hua, that little increase in defense would not hinder her in the slightest bit. In fact, she could still stroll around all of the area without the need to worry about the guards ever knowing where she was. They would never be able to detect her unless she wanted them to.

Nan Luo pursed his lips. "Your skills seem to increase again even though you're not doing much training lately."

"Harsh training is not the only method to improve." Nan Hua was calm. "Relaxing and reviewing what you've achieved so far will help you to visualize. And when you let go of everything, you'll realize that it's at that time you'll be able to truly fully utilize what you have learned better."

"Huh?" Nan Luo was confused.

However, Nan Hua was really not good at explaining things. She only knew that Nan Luo didn't have to constantly trying to continue training and overdo everything. It would only break his body.

There was a limit of how many times he could force his body to train to the limit.

Just like one pull a rubber band. If it reached a certain point and still being stretched, the rubber band would eventually break. Human's body was not unlimited in strength and stamina. They had to appropriately gauge their strength and take rest when they needed to.

"Balance of hard work and rest is important."

"I know that…" Nan Luo was speechless. He scratched the back of his head. "I'm just a bit jealous that you can still improve when you're taking a break after harsh training."

"My body is rebuilding after breaking." The harsh training that Nan Hua undergone for a long period had basically caused her to restructure her body. It was not really breaking it apart, but it was simply conditioning her body to be able to work better in accordance to what she wanted.

And after the long harsh training, Nan Hua took the long rest in order to fully heal her body. After all, she was indeed quite harsh to herself in order to make sure that she would achieve the ideal body that she wanted.

And the war came at the right time because it was time for her to warm up again. It was also because of this that when Nan Luo saw Nan Hua again, he noticed that her improvement was not small.

"Can I do that too?" Nan Luo was curious.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo for a moment then shook her head. "This method is only suitable if you're late in training."

Hearing that, Nan Luo was speechless. While it was true that he technically started earlier in his training compared to Nan Hua, the difference was not that much, right?

What Nan Luo didn't know was that Nan Hua was rebuilding her body to be agility and stealth based. She had no intention to be pursuing power because her body structure would limit her growth in that area.

It was not like she was saying that she couldn't.

But it wouldn't be as good as when she tried to pursue agility. After all, her height hadn't changed that much anymore and Nan Hua knew that many girls stopped gaining height when they were 12 to 13 years old.

With this height that was barely 5 feet (around 150 cm), it would be a miracle if she could become a power type body.

It was not completely impossible.

But there was also something called physical limitation.

It could be bypassed under certain condition, but not everyone would be able to do that. Nan Hua knew which path would be the best for her and chose to follow in that direction. Of course, she would not neglect the other areas where she was lacking either.

"That means, it's not suitable for me?" Nan Luo asked for confirmation.

Nan Hua hummed lightly.

Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua and started to wonder just how did Nan Hua maintain her physical condition when she did nothing. Little did he know that Nan Hua still have her daily training consisting of push up, pull up, and some others on her bed every morning.

Thanks to her presence erasing skill, those people didn't even notice that she was busy training to maintain her physique every morning.

But of course, Nan Hua didn't need to mention it to her twin brother.

"Nan Luo, how long are you going to stay there? We have to arrive early this time!" Feng Ao Si yelled from outside Nan Luo's quarter.

"Coming!"

After having rigorous training/thinking of solving something difficult, to be able to achieve a breakthrough could usually be done by doing more or relaxing. It’ll depend on the person. But if you try to search in the internet, there are many stories of groundbreaking breakthrough in science happen when the researchers are relaxing. The easy example is Newton who saw an apple falling in front of him when he’s relaxing under the tree. Anw, there are many others. You can search for yourself.
