Chapter 417: Will Imposition
Mo Yan and Xie Ruyue could clearly see that Mu Yao was afraid...
They looked at Lin Feng instinctively to understand the situation but seeing his totally calm and composed expression which shouldn’t have been enough to make Mu Yao afraid, they only became more bewildered.
Mu Yao gritted her teeth. In her heart she termed everything as an illusion but no matter how much she thought of taking even a single step, she would falter completely.
Her body was shivering right now, she was fighting a tough mental battle inside her. She wanted to take that step but her whole being rejected her completely..
Finally Lin Feng took one step and tapped Mu Yao’s forehead with the thin branch he was holding like sword.
THUMP!
"Aaahhh.." Mu Yao felt pain from the simple touch and the suffocating pressure finally left her.
She backed off immediately and began rubbing her forehead as it was bruised from that gentle tap, "How is that thing so sturdy.."
There was no way a normal twig was going to hurt her.
Lin Feng dropped the small branch and nodded, "You have improved.."
"Eh? I just got bruised by a piece of wood and you call that I have improved? Senior brother you are just mocking me right now.." Mu Yao lashed out in shame.
She felt a little ashamed of not being able to take a single step when she wanted to do it..she didn’t know how he did that but that didn’t matter.
Lin Feng shook his head, "You not running away from me was really commendable and that is what I was actually testing...
Going through severe injuries every day has two benefits for you, one is advancement towards your battle sense and the other is your will..
Will is a very enigmatic concept, some people are born with strong will and some with weak will.
Nevertheless, it is not the end of it, will is something which gets refined as you age and there are various factors which affect it.
There is no proven way which can really guarantee the refinement of will but going through extremes of anything does help you get stronger in every aspect, will included.
Today what I tested was your will and the method that I used was imposing fear on you by using a fraction of my own will..It would have been enough to break down the past you into absolute fear so I am really satisfied with you not running away.
Also, the reason this branch hurt you was because I strengthened it through a similar way of will imposition...this is something you will understand later as will can be used for many different aspects.."
Mo Yan, Xie Ruyue and Mu Yao were stunned, they didn’t know that will could be used like that. All they thought was that will was something which determined their thoughts of doing something or not.
Lin Feng could see their stunned expressions but he didn’t divulge further as will imposition was a vast topic and something that they wouldn’t be able to comprehend for a long time so it was no use making them concern themselves with it.
Even in the upper world, only those who were truly at the top were able to use will imposition freely.
Mu Yao shook her head, she had finally gotten free time with him and she didn’t want to waste it talking about something she wouldn’t understand.
She came close and grabbed Lin Feng’s hand, "Senior brother, let’s go to the sect, you hardly ever go there and most of the disciples want to see you..."
Lin Feng sighed inwardly and let her pull him, true it’s been a while since he had gone to the sect area meant for disciples.
They walked down and Lin Feng noticed the obvious change that most of the peak disciple area was empty.
It wasn’t hard to guess that it was because of the mission in the Eastern Region.
The Frozen Heart Sect didn’t have many disciples due to their stringent recruitment process so it was given that they would be short on manpower to handle everything in two regions.
"Most of the peak disciples should be returning back shortly as the discussion part with the local factions in the Eastern Region is over.." Mo Yan stated as she and Xie Ruyue were helping with the same.
"Why aren’t we recruiting more disciples, even those small sects in the Eastern Region have more disciples than ours.." Mu Yao asked in a curious tone, she had never thought about it much before but now that they were discussing it, she decided to ask about it..
She still remembered the time she was recruited into the sect. Unlike others she was brought up to the Spirit Peak by senior brother so she didn’t know what was the real count of disciples who got chosen every time.
"It is not as simple as you think.." Mo Yan shook her head.
"The main source of our recruitment is from the girls who are rescued from various tragedies happening near us.
Now that things have become peaceful in the Northern Region, we get very few such cases, which in itself is a good thing but it has dwindled the number of disciples we can choose from. Not to mention the fact that they have to possess minimum talent to be able to become disciples.."
Mu Yao became confused when she heard that, "Why don’t we recruit from the general people?"
Mo Yan smiled slightly, "We do actually, recruitment is never closed for general people, if anyone wants to come and join the sect then they are more than welcome.
We get one or two disciples every few months that way and they are generally always talented disciples..but those are not enough numbers.."
Mu Yao only became more confused, "Aren’t we the strongest sect in the world? Then why are so few interested in joining?"
"Well, you really don’t have a clue do you, seriously what were you talking about with your senior sisters in the sect? Only food?" Xie Ruyue shook her head while smiling.
