Chapter 340 The Mysterious Girl In A Princess Dress
Zach hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. “The silver–haired guy said I had great talent, so he brought me here.”
Lola didn’t become the only female instructor at the Indigo Training Ground by sheer luck.
Even though Zach’s hesitation lasted only a split second, Lola immediately caught on that something was off.
Her sharp gaze locked onto Zach, and she spoke with a smile. “Lying?”
Zach’s small frame trembled, but he mustered the courage to meet her eyes and said, “I really don’t know.”
Lola studied his face for a few moments, and then, to his surprise, her cold demeanor softened into a faint smile. “Follow me.”
Without another word, she grabbed Zach’s wrist, which now bore bruises from her earlier grip, and led him toward the back mountain of the training ground.
Moments later, their figures appeared in a clearing on the mountainside.
By now, Zach’s arms and legs were soaked in blood, staining his clothes a deep crimson. His face had turned unnaturally pale from the loss of blood.
Yet, Lola made no move to stop the bleeding or bandage his wounds.
Injuries during training were inevitable. As long as she didn’t push him to the brink of death, even Indigo Training Ground wouldn’t have grounds to object.
Lola halted and scanned the surroundings.
After confirming there was no one else nearby, she turned to Zach and said, “Now, I will teach you your first lesson since entering the Indigo Training Ground.”
Zach’s delicate, striking eyes lit up at her words.
Lola might seem harsh, but he could sense her immense strength.
If he worked hard and followed her training, he could grow stronger, right?
And once he became strong enough, he could find his mother and ensure she would never be hurt again.
Under Zach’s eager gaze, the ring on Lola’s finger shimmered faintly.
In an instant, a silver whip materialized in her hand.
The whip seemed to glisten with frost, and the surrounding air grew noticeably colder.
Zach’s breath hitched as he stared at the whip that had suddenly appeared.
Before he could process what was happening, Lola’s hand flicked sharply.
The silver whip lashed across Zach’s body without warning.
The strike tore through his clothes and split his skin, leaving raw, bloody wounds.
The sheer force of the blow sent Zach flying backward, tumbling 20 feet away.
With a heavy thud, his small body slammed into the ground.
Pain surged through his body like a tidal wave, leaving him completely stunned.
When Lola had locked him in the dark room before, he had treated it as a test of his endurance.
But now, why was she hitting him? Did he mess up somehow?
Before Zach could dwell on his confusion, Lola’s cold voice rang out beside him. “The fastest way to strengthen your body
is through relentless punishment. If you can’t handle it, let me know, and I’ll request permission to pull you out of the Indigo Training Ground.”
Despite the agony wracking his body, her voice cut through the haze, clear and sharp in his mind.
Initially, he had been baffled by Lola’s sudden attack.
But now that he understood her intentions, the pain felt almost bearable.
Before coming here, Zach knew he had to pay the price if he wanted to grow stronger.
The more he sacrificed, the more he gained.
Successfully unlocked!
As memories of being kidnapped by Emperor Grant and the pain of his mother’s disappearance flooded his mind, Zach clenched his small fists tightly.
Just then, the Devourer Starcard in his mind stirred.
Its energy began to flow into his body, slow but steady.

Zach felt the Starcard’s movement, and a flicker of surprise crossed his face.
But in the next instant, that surprise turned into pure joy. His Devourer Starcard was helping him
With a faint surge of strength, Zach took a deep breath. Ignoring the sharp pain coursing through his body, he slowly pushed himself up from the ground.
Once steady, his bright eyes locked onto Lola. His soft voice carried a firm determination as he said, “Instructor Lola, again”
A flicker of surprise crossed Lola’s eyes as she looked at him.
Still, she showed no mercy,
The whip lashed across Zach’s frail frame, leaving another bloody gash.
Bracing himself this time, he stumbled back a few steps but steadied almost instantly.
“Again!” he said.
Lola frowned slightly.
Before he could say more, she swung the whip again without hesitation,
This time, the strike was heavier, the force unmistakable.
Zach’s body was sent flying, crashing hard onto the ground.
Yet, he stood up soon.
“Instructor Lola, again!”
“Again!”
An hour later, Zach lay sprawled on the ground, utterly drained.
His body was covered in wounds, with barely any unscathed skin left except for his face and neck. His clothes, now nothing more than blood–soaked scraps, were scattered around him.
The scene was brutal and terrifying.
Lola finally stopped after a few more lashes, worried that he might actually die under her hand.
She walked slowly to Zach’s side, looking down at him with an air of superiority, and asked slowly, “Now, can you tell me what your ability is?”
By this point, she was absolutely certain that Zach was far more than just a talented child.
A normal kid would barely survive three lashes from her.
But Zach had endured eighty–six lashes.
And through it all, he hadn’t let out a single scream.
His resilience was monstrous, almost inhuman.
Zach struggled to open his eyes.
He parted his lips slightly, his voice hoarse and strained as he said, “I… don’t know.”
Hearing this, Lola narrowed her eyes slowly.
A talent on par with the six prodigies of the Indigo Training Ground, yet born in Vyrdenia of all places.
Such a waste of potential!
Just as the cold glint in her eyes grew sharper, a childish yet pleasant–to–hear voice suddenly drifted over from the trees nearby..
“Well, well! So miserable.”
The moment Lola heard the voice, her gaze snapped toward its source.
There, perched lazily on a tree branch, was a girl of about five or six, dressed in a pristine white princess dress.
Her face was as delicate as a doll’s, but her icy, queen–like aura made her seem untouchable.
The moment Lola saw her, her breath caught, and an involuntary shiver ran down her spine.
