Chapter 207
Chapter 207: 207?The Birth Year?Part Three?
Li Xianyi was significantly affected back when he obtained the manual from his master.
But he still read through every single line within the manual…
Li Xianyi thought that the number of people who could achieve chi rain from the clouds was few, if not none. Even he wanted to achieve this but to no avail.
But at this moment, this teenager in front of him is accomplishing this. And it was under his supervision, that he achieved this in almost two months.
Lu Shu turned towards Li Xianyi, “Grandpa, I think I have already managed to turn the clouds into rain…”
Li Xianyi answered calmly, “Mm. Continue training harder.”
“Mm,” Lu Shu nodded and continued with his practice.
Do not be fooled by Li Xianyi’s calm demeanor. His heart was anything but that! This was the rain formed from the chi cloud!
But what could he say now? To tell Lu Shu that he was kidding with him previously and that he was actually a prodigy? He couldn’t bring himself to say it…
Frustrating!
In the past, it was frustrating to converse with the two siblings. Now, even watching him train was frustrating. Could he be the rumored frustrated and hot-tempered type?!
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +333!”
Lu Shu was confused but he couldn’t ask the old man why there were distress points. He really couldn’t think of a reason!
And the biggest change that came with the rain was that every fifteen minutes, there would be a drop of water falling from the clouds. And this droplet would fall towards the sea of chi, causing Lu Shu to use plenty of energy to suppress the disturbance.
Initially, Lu Shu thought that he wouldn’t be able to continue holding it. For the entire morning, he didn’t even sell stinky tofu. He just sat on his bed, entirely focused on thinking how to counter the clouds and water.
He still thought that whatever others could do, he had no reason not to be able to do it as well.
Everyone knew that Lu Shu was stubborn, but they didn’t know where it came from. His stubbornness came from his subtle arrogance: he was no weaker than anyone!
He could survive well on his own, why receive anything from anyone else? This was his simple logic.
So at this moment, Lu Shu stubbornly thought that he could accomplish whatever anyone else can accomplish!
Indeed, a person’s potential was limitless, and Lu Shu slowly realized that his control of the situation was improving.
Sometimes, when normal people do things, they would feel that this would be too difficult, that task would be too tough, another one would be impossible. These were thoughts from people who weren’t forced and pressured by their circumstances.
When people are forced to their maximum, many people would realize that anything is possible…
And Lu Shu was someone who forced himself on this path. He was too hard on himself…
He slowly got up and washed some vegetables. He did everything slowly as if he was caught on a slow-motion camera on 0.25x the normal speed… He was afraid that one careless moment of his would cause the chi mountain to open!
Lu Xiaoyu sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at Lu Shu in confusion, “Lu Shu, are you stoned?”
“Just watch your television!” Lu Shu said without holding back, “If you have the slightest bit of empathy, go and pluck some vegetables from the garden outside!”
“Alright,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head and dashed outside. Little Fury was learning its vocabulary diligently. It understood that it was definitely a bad time to anger Lu Shu, as there would definitely be grave consequences!
During lunch in the afternoon, Li Xianyi, Aunty Liu, and Lu Xiaoyu stared at Lu Shu getting his food slowly in confusion. They suppressed their laughter, hands trembling while holding onto their bowls.
“Just laugh if you want to,” Lu Shu said with a black face.
“Hahahaha!”
“Hahahaha!”
At this moment, Lu Shu wanted to ask one question. Why couldn’t he receive his own distress points? His second nebula will be filled in no time!
Aunty Liu smiled, “Little Shu, you’re in so much agony, why not just release your chi mountain?”
Lu Shu shot back, “No! If I give up now, wouldn’t I have suffered for nothing!?”
He continued his principle of controlling the chi, always concentrated.
In the end, when Li Xianyi saw Lu Shu again in the yard later in the afternoon, he realized that Lu Shu’s movements were back to normal speed! Lu Shu actually realized that he could multitask, being able to do one thing while controlling the chi energy.
No, it wasn’t multitasking. He did not have such a gift. In fact, it was his control of the chi energy that was becoming a second nature to him, just like walking and breathing, requiring less effort the more he did it.
Of course, Lu Shu had yet to attain such a level. But he was definitely working hard in the right direction.
At night, Lu Shu pulled his luggage along in one hand while holding Lu Xiaoyu in the other, preparing to set off for the train station. This train started its journey from Linhai City and terminated at Wumu City in the northwest. It only stopped over at Luo Cheng in the middle for a short while.
Their boarding time was 8.45 pm but Lu Shu decided to bring Lu Xiaoyu over earlier. After all, it was their first time taking a train and they didn’t even know how to get their tickets checked. It was better to go earlier.
Li Xianyi and auntie Liu stood at their yard to send them off. Auntie Liu adjusted Lu XIaoyu’s clothes, “Stick close to your brother when you’re outside. Although the country is safe and peaceful now, there’s bound to be some people with ill-intentions.”
Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head obediently as Little Fury slept peacefully on her shoulder.
Li Xianyi hesitated for a moment at the side until he could resist it no longer, “Lu Shu, is this year your zodiac’s year? Why are you so joyous lugging the luggage?”
Lu Shu was confused. What zodiac year! What joyous! Could he speak some sense?! He glared murderously at Lu Xiaoyu, he already said to not get this color!
“We’re leaving,” Lu Shu’s face turned dark, “You guys look after yourselves, we’ll get some souvenirs for you!”
Li Xianyi said suddenly, “Feel free to call me if you run into trouble and can’t solve the problem.”
Lu Shu’s expression turned serious. They were both practitioners, so naturally, he knew what trouble the old man was referring to. This reminded him that he could always count on the old man even if he meets a strong opponent far away.
He wasn’t extremely selfish and ungrateful, but based on this friendship, Lu Shu felt that he definitely had to find an opportunity to give the old man a refresher fruit or something to improve his shackled health.
