Chapter 75 Liu Yuan Attempts a Second Awakening? Xuan Zi: My Chance Has Arrived!
"No way... are Senior Brother Liu Yuan and Senior Brother Ao Tian even human?"
The disciples around the training ground, who were originally preparing to disperse to celebrate or discuss the battle, froze on the spot when they saw the two tall figures heading straight for the training room on the back mountain.
"They just finished a competition of that intensity, their soul power probably hasn't even calmed down yet, and now they're going to cultivate again?" A thin disciple rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
"This is simply making our lives impossible! They have higher talent than us, stronger strength than us, and they even work harder than us in cultivation. If we don't work hard, we might not even have the right to see their backs in the future."
"Sigh... Let's go, let's stop looking and go cultivate. I originally wanted to have a good meal to celebrate Senior Brother Aotian's awakening, but now it seems that was a complete waste of time."
Seeing that Liu Yuan and Long Aotian, two top experts of the younger generation of the sect, were so "competitive," the disciples who already held Liu Yuan in awe felt extremely heavy pressure.
Driven by this atmosphere, the originally noisy crowd in the training ground quickly thinned out, and the disciples left on their own, returning to their residences or training rooms to begin their seclusion.
This scene caught the eye of Poison Undying high above, and a look of extreme satisfaction appeared on his originally stern face.
"Good, this is the Body Sect I wanted." Poison Immortal stroked his beard, his eyes full of satisfaction.
This healthy competition and everyone's drive for progress is exactly what he has been dreaming of for many years.
In his view, the strength of a sect depends not only on a single genius, but also on the overall upward spirit and energy driven by that genius.
...
Inside the training room on the back hill, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.
Liu Yuan soon sat down cross-legged opposite Long Aotian.
Long Aotian was indeed as magnanimous and sincere as Liu Yuan had predicted.
To be fair, if it were any other narrow-minded person in the sect who had lost to Liu Yuan, a newly joined junior brother, time and time again, not only would they have lost their reputation and face, but Liu Yuan would have turned around and asked them for advice. Others might not have been willing to teach him everything they knew.
But Long Aotian didn't hold anything back.
He told Liu Yuan almost every detail of his awakening, including the instantaneous burst of soul power in his meridians, the mysterious frequency of the resonance between his will and martial soul, and his insights on how to guide his physical body and bloodline to sublimate.
"...In that instant, you must forget that you are a Soul Master. You must feel that every bone and every drop of blood in your body is an extension of your Martial Soul. It's not that you are controlling your Martial Soul, but that you yourself are the Martial Soul." Long Aotian closed his eyes, recalling and explaining in detail.
After Long Aotian's "hands-on" instruction, Liu Yuan has indeed gained a completely new understanding of the second awakening of his original martial soul.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, comparing the information with the characteristics of his double pupils one by one. The path that was originally hazy in his mind became much clearer at this moment.
Liu Yuan opened his eyes and solemnly bowed to Long Aotian: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. These insights are of great importance to me."
Seeing this, Long Aotian simply waved his hand and gave a frank smile.
He said there was no need to be so polite, and then looked at Liu Yuan seriously and said, "Liu Yuan, you don't need to feel like you owe me anything."
"In my opinion, the stronger you are, the stronger I will become."
"Because within the sect, you are my guiding light."
"With an opponent who could surpass me at any moment leading the way, I dare not relax in the slightest. So, helping you is also helping myself."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly: "You've made me a little embarrassed. I feel like if I don't awaken sooner, I'll be letting down my senior brother's honesty."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and shared some interesting stories about cultivation before going their separate ways.
Liu Yuan returned to his residence. He closed the door and immediately entered a meditative state.
He first tried to mobilize the qi and blood in his body according to the insights that Long Aotian had shared, attempting to trigger the second awakening of the origin of his double pupils.
A faint golden-red light flickered in his pupils, and the soul power within his meridians began to pulsate at a specific frequency.
However, after this state lasted for about half an hour, Liu Yuan stopped on his own.
He sensed it.
Although this attempt was much better than my previous haphazard exploration, and I had even vaguely touched that barrier, I was still far from truly achieving a successful awakening.
However, Liu Yuan did not feel sad or frustrated.
He knew very well that the second awakening of the main body's martial soul was usually a product of a soul master's cultivation reaching around level 50 to 60, and the martial soul's foundation accumulating to its limit.
Long Aotian's awakening was the result of accumulating strength over time, while he has only just entered level 44. His total soul power and the stability of his martial soul are not yet in place, so failure is to be expected.
"I was just trying my luck before. Since my level is still a bit low, I'll continue to level up first. As long as my foundation is strong enough, awakening will be a natural process."
Liu Yuan adjusted his mindset and quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, continuing the tedious and intense soul power cultivation.
Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
During this month, Liu Yuan hardly left his house, devoting all his energy to purifying and accumulating soul power.
This almost self-torturing effort was not in vain. With the help of various top-tier resources, Liu Yuan's level was raised again, successfully reaching level 45.
There are only five levels left to go before reaching level 50.
On this day, Liu Yuan was practicing the Qilin Step in the courtyard when Vina found him again.
Compared to their last meeting, Vina appeared exceptionally radiant today, her noble bearing as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family radiating an undisguised joy.
"Liu Yuan." Vina stepped forward and naturally straightened Liu Yuan's collar.
This time, Vina came specifically to invite Liu Yuan to her birthday party.
Vina said softly, "My birthday is in three days."
"My father has prepared a birthday banquet for me in the capital. I need to go back first thing tomorrow morning to make preparations. Liu Yuan, will you be able to attend?"
Looking into Vina's expectant yet slightly shy eyes, Liu Yuan agreed without hesitation.
Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, his relationship with Vina has progressed further during this period.
These days, they've already done everything from holding hands to kissing.
It's simply because they're not old enough; the final, crucial step hasn't been taken yet.
But their relationship had already been established long ago.
Therefore, Liu Yuan would naturally not be absent from such an occasion.
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrive on time," Liu Yuan promised.
Vina received a satisfactory answer and gave him another hug.
Only then did he leave satisfied, preparing to return to the capital to make arrangements.
On the other side...
Shrek Academy, thousands of miles away.
The atmosphere in Xuanzi's office was extremely heavy.
Xuanzi stared at the scout in front of him with a furrowed brow, pressing him for an answer: "Still don't you understand? Is that Liu Yuan who shone so brightly on the border of Xingluo the same Liu Yuan who was expelled from our Shrek Academy?"
The scout looked tired from his long journey. He shook his head helplessly and reported in a low voice, "Elder Xuan, the Body Sect's protection of that genius is far too tight."
"As soon as our people get close to the core area of the Body Sect, they are driven away or even killed by those lunatics. So far, we still haven't had the chance to verify Liu Yuan's appearance up close."
Xuanzi slammed his fist on the table, splashing the liquid from the wine pot all over the floor.
This unknown fear has kept him up at night for the past month.
Just then, the scout seemed to remember something and quickly added, "However, I have just received some new and important intelligence."
"Three days from now is Princess Vina's birthday in the Heavenly Soul Empire."
"It is said that Liu Yuan has a very close relationship with Princess Vina, and there are even rumors of a 'marriage' within the Body Sect."
"So, logically speaking, he will definitely leave the Body Sect and go to the Heavenly Soul Imperial City to attend the banquet."
Upon hearing this news, Xuanzi's originally cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with two terrifying beams of light.
He suddenly stood up, and his originally hunched body exuded a suffocating pressure at that moment.
"Heavenly Soul Imperial City? Vina's birthday banquet?"
Xuanzi's lips curled into a ferocious and complex smile, a mixture of ecstatic joy and ruthlessness at grasping at a straw.
"Isn't this the opportunity? As long as he appears in public, even if he's a kilometer away, I'll recognize him at a glance!"
