"Hahaha! That's the spirit!" Foyan praised, puffing his chest.
"This seclusion training will start right after the Serene Blossom Valley women leave, so it should be in a day if no more incidents occur."
"...Is that it?" Xuan tilted his head. "Just 1 month long training with you as my sparring partner?"
"Well, when you put it that way, that is all there is to it, I suppose," Foyan chuckled. "Oh, but I did forget to mention one thing. You'll get rations that will last you two days and just enough water to get by. Oh, and you're not allowed to leave seclusion until the one month period is over."
"Two days' worth of food for the whole month?" Xuan repeated, baffled. "What's the discipline behind that? Hunger equals muscles?"
"Hunger equals mental fortitude. Your body will be pushed to the limits, leaving no choice but to get stronger or die. It's a fun exercise, I did it twice when I was younger. Nearly died on my second attempt though," Foyan said cheekily.
