Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 193: Sea of Chi(Part 2)

Lu Shu had no idea how much chi he should accumulate before unlocking his chi reserves. He never thought that the old man Li Xianyi was just boasting… In fact, although the old man said to accumulate chi before unlocking it, he himself didn’t do that.

But Lu Shu had no idea!

So the concept Lu Shu had in mind was that he had to wait for his chi to be fully accumulated, or to wait until he couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

As to how long his tolerance was, Li Xianyi had never thought that Lu Shu had so much perseverance and Lu Shu never considered that the old man was scamming him…

At the current extent of Chi, Lu Shu realized that there would be an uproar about every hour. 24 times a day was a conservative estimate.

In the past, Lu Shu could still occasionally sleep at night but not anymore. He had to practice his twinkle stars to keep awake.

But practicing the twinkle stars was tiring too, and he had to suppress the chi’s uproar every once in a while. The chi outside the mountain was originally very mild and thin, but with the chi fruits, Lu Shu’s growth was extremely fast. At this point in time, the chi had already formed into clouds outside the mountain, as though the whole place was enveloped with chi.

In the middle of the night and practicing the twinkle stars, there was a sudden billow and Lu Shu had to quickly suppress it.

Even going to the toilet at night was with wary…

Li Xianyi’s people had all experienced this painful process, each and every one of them were tortured by the chi mountain.

Lu Shu was suffering at the start, but the suffering lessened progressively… Even Lu Shu had underestimated his own toughness and he actually started to find this fun!

This youngster had survived this far through his own efforts and had never escaped from any difficulties. In fact, during tough times, he was more motivated to pull himself through.

It was just like when he first started learning mathematics. At the start, he had no talent at all in the field and each problem would take him half a day to understand.

But he was determined and never stopped doing questions after questions. Every time he solved one question would give him a sense of accomplishment and he reached a point where he knew how to answer all the questions at first sight. It was a breakthrough for him and maths was no longer his weakness.

To Lu Shu, each successful suppression of the chi was an accomplishment…

3 am, Lu Shu went to Li Xianyi’s yard to train his swordplay. Li Xianyi gleefully sat at the stone table and the middle school math textbook wasn’t there anymore. He laughed, “How’s suppressing your chi, uncomfortable right?”

Lu Shu replied, “The start was uncomfortable, but now it’s quite enjoyable…”

Li Xianyi, “?”

Enjoyable?! What kind of personality do you have?!

Lu Shu added on, “Each time I suppressed my chi, I would feel especially satisfied!”

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +88!”

Li Xianyi was stunned for a few seconds, “Haha, good that you’re happy…” He was confused. How could this be linked to satisfaction? As he waved his hand, “Start practicing.”

Lu Shu resumed his picking techniques but whenever he exerted strength, his chi would start billowing. Lu Shu suddenly realized that the techniques Li Xianyi taught him would easily trigger movements in his chi.

Normally, the uproars would happen once every hour. But during his swordplay training, it happened frequently.

As such, Lu Shu had to practice his swordplay while allocating a certain amount of focus to suppress the chi. His control was rough at the start but Lu Shu was working hard to adapt to it.

Li Xianyi sat silently at the side. He could sense Lu Shu’s chi uproars and it was way more intense than yesterday. This speed of growth was the first he had ever witnessed.

After learning the art of the sword, his teacher always said that Li Xianyi’s aptitude was one in ten thousand and that his growth was already very fast.

But when compared to Lu Shu’s growth rate, his one in ten thousand aptitudes wasn’t impressive…

The old man didn’t know about the existence of the chi fruits and started to suspect that his teacher might have duped him again… At this moment, he gauged that Lu Shu’s chi already had a significant presence and after accumulating a little more, it would have reached the level of his own chi when he unlocked the chi mountain.

But how long did Li Xianyi take to accumulate chi and unlock the chi mountain? 3 months.

Through cold winters and hot summers, he practiced his swordplay for 21 months to achieve his initial chi. And after 3 months of accumulation, he finally unlocked his chi mountain. This meant that from Li Xianyi first started training to unlocking the chi mountain, it took 2 whole years.

How long did Lu Shu take? Did this mean that Lu Shu’s one day progress was equivalent to half a month of Li Xianyi’s?!

Li Xianyi suddenly felt like he had to vent his anger… Where did my math textbook go?!

He couldn’t help but ask, “When do you plan to unlock your chi mountain?”

Asking this gave Li Xianyi a strange feeling. Amongst his people, they never when one would want to unlock as it was always due to fate!

But for some reason, he had to ask. It was as if Li Xianyi felt that Lu Shu could unlock it whenever he wanted…

Lu Shu was stunned for a moment before asking, “Didn’t you say to accumulate fully?”

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +188!”

Li Xianyi was speechless, do you believe whatever I tell you?!

After receiving the distress points, Lu Shu glanced at Li Xianyi suspiciously, only to see Li Xianyi replying, “Not only to accumulate fully but to accumulate as much as you can! And don’t be satisfied too easily!”

“Sure!” Lu Shu nodded and didn’t think of it, “I see.” After replying, he continued his training and he only felt that the distance between him and the chi mountain was still a long way. The road of training was indeed tough…

On the other hand, Li Xianyi saw Lu Shu’s attitude after hearing his big talk and for some reason, suddenly felt that he was about to witness something incredible…

He once again recalled his ancestor’s words, “The chi mountain is as vast as the mountains and flows like water. The manifestation of your will in your swords would rise up the mountains and into the clouds.”

Lu Shu asked curiously, “What would I see when unlocking the chi mountain?”

Li Xianyi wanted to relay his own experience but realized that he shouldn’t. This kid would definitely have a different unlocking experience and by telling him, his lies would be exposed!

He sat calmly beside the stone table and acting as if he was the expert, “The chi mountain is as vast as the mountains and flows like water. The manifestation of your will in your swords would rise up the mountains and into the clouds”
