Chapter 96: Breakthrough, Breakthrough
If we say that previously, Gu Duxing's only concerns were two: his adoptive father and sister Xiao Miao. But now, there was one more: Chu Yang. Although Chu Yang seemed mature and steady in his actions, Gu Duxing knew that this maturity and steadiness could only be forged through countless experiences and hardships!
Every time he thought of this, Gu Duxing felt a pang in his heart. Compared to Chu Yang, he felt much luckier. In his childhood, he at least experienced the love and meticulous care of his parents; after the tragic changes in his family, his adoptive father also took good care of him, so he could say he hadn't suffered much.
But what about Chu Yang?
Gu Duxing felt that Chu Yang was like a younger brother who had been hastily matured, needing his protection and care. There was no specific reason; this feeling arose so naturally.
He had always thought that Chu Yang's cultivation was higher than his own, but he never expected that Chu Yang was only a fourth rank warrior! So, seeing Chu Yang practicing tonight, he was taken aback.
Then he thought: What of it? What if he’s a fourth rank? With me here, who could possibly harm him? Even if he had no cultivation at all, would I, Gu Duxing, betray my brother?
Thinking this, he suddenly felt relieved. But just as he drew his sword, he was stunned again! Unable to help himself, he turned around with great force, almost twisting his neck.
How could Chu Yang... how could he have entered meditation? Gu Duxing just couldn’t comprehend: a mere fourth rank warrior, and he sat down and entered meditation immediately? This, this is simply a monster! Even among the martial sect, this couldn’t be so quick, right?
Gu Duxing's eyes widened.
The construction site by the shore seemed to suddenly fade away, detaching from this world. A gentle breeze blew, and the lake water swayed lightly, slowly lapping against the shore, wave after wave, continuously.
Chu Yang seemed to have vaguely heard the sound of the lake water, and a spark of inspiration flashed in his heart. His divine skill was still operating, but he divided a strand of his mind to pay attention to the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore. Slowly, in his consciousness, a tranquil little lake seemed to appear, the water flowing leisurely and boundlessly.
In that moment, Chu Yang's spirit sank into a deeper level of calmness. He felt as if he had suddenly detached from the world, immersing himself in that little lake within his consciousness...
On the other side, Gu Duxing was marveling at how this Chu Yang was truly a freak; with such talent, how could he not catch up to himself in a short time? To sit down and enter meditation was truly impressive...
But just as he thought this, he suddenly sensed that Chu Yang's aura had become ethereal. Unable to stop himself, he turned his head sharply once again, rubbing his eyes in disbelief with his left hand: This guy, he sat down and entered meditation, and within a few breaths, he actually immediately entered the state of forgetting the self and the world!
Gu Duxing nearly shouted out loud.
It is important to note that the state of forgetting the self and the world could only be achieved after at least an hour of meditation for himself! This is the profound level of cultivation; only upon reaching this level can one align heart and intent, unifying intention and spirit. This state allows for a cultivation speed that is more than double that of ordinary meditation!
Did Chu Yang really enter so easily?
What a freak.
Gu Duxing’s lips curled into a bitter smile. He originally thought his own talent was rare in a thousand years, but he never expected that this younger guy would ruthlessly shatter his greatest confidence!
In his consciousness, Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, looking at the endless, tireless waves, gaining some insight. These waves, lacking any force, continuously surged forward, retreated, surged again, and then retreated...
Not a hint of annoyance.
