"Master, why don’t you teach little Tu as well?"
Li Hu didn’t speak aloud; instead, he communicated through mind and spirit, as Luo Fan and Tang Yangwu were both engaged in the Dao Collection, both nearing their limits, and any slight disturbance from the outside world could sever their last bit of heart and spirit energy.
"How many years have you been practicing martial arts? Haste makes waste; the principle of helping sprouts grow probably doesn’t need to teach you."
"This child’s bodily talent is exceptional, and he’s extraordinarily impressive in techniques. But he has been in contact with the Martial Arts Dao for just a few days, his acupoints just starting to open, and his heart and spirit not yet firm. I initially planned to teach him the Dao Collection once he opened about fifty acupoints internally.
But now you’ve brought him here, your heart holds attachnt, and inevitably, he will rember. In future cultivation, he will surely recall this divine sight, possibly leading to insufficient focus.
You already understand these principles without my teaching you, so he wasn’t supposed to appear here at this ti.
But since he’s here now, and you brought him, Huzi, what trick do you intend to play on your master?"
Zhou Wuliang’s voice echoed in Li Hu’s ear.
The voice was gentle, like an ordinary old man chatting.
But upon hearing this, Li Hu’s honest smile froze.
He brought Su Tu here, intending to give his master a shocking revelation of his junior brother’s talent.
Yet, despite all the calculations, he hadn’t counted on Zhou Wuliang understanding him too well.
Li Hu, although outwardly bold and hearty, acting and speaking with a sense of grandeur, is actually very ticulous, thorough in his actions, and possesses a keen insight into the subtleties of techniques.
Among the martial artists who ca to the Ancestor Star, Li Hu ranks among the top three of his generation.
Zhou Wuliang understands his apprentice’s character well; the latter would never recklessly bring a favored junior here.
So, there must be sothing amiss.
Li Hu pursed his mouth, initially planning to hold back, but facing Zhou Wuliang’s eyes that bore like burning flas, he couldn’t keep anything hidden.
The master-disciple suppression, terrifying to the extre!!
Just as he was about to transmit the recent events to Zhou Wuliang through spirit communication.
A pale moonlight shone forth, faint and not real, a projection of heart and spirit.
The light rippled gently, flashing before Zhou Wuliang and Li Hu.
The light was faint like frost and curtain; this kind of heart and spirit projection was all too familiar to Zhou Wuliang, as it carried the aura of the Moon God!!
Looking toward the source of the light, one could see Su Tu standing motionless, eyes slightly closed, eyebrows furrowed, as if witnessing so incredible scene.
And that pale moonlight shone around him.
Li Hu looked incredulously at Su Tu, knowing of his astonishing talent, having heard Su Tu say he succeeded in Dao Collection just by glancing at the secret painting, yet seeing this scene with his own eyes still brought an indescribable shock.
"Little Tu, this has left truly speechless. I told you to give it your all, but I didn’t expect you to be this intense!"
Li Hu thought, staring at Su Tu in the moonlight, lost in thought.
He involuntarily swallowed.
Gulp~
Gulp~ Gulp~
But the sound startled him; the swallowing sound echoed, and he noticed that it wasn’t just him. Zhou Wuliang and Mo Ya were also making the sa involuntary sound at this mont.
Zhou Wuliang even stood up, staring incredulously at the young boy.
"Is there really a prodigy in this world?"
"With just one glance, he enters the Dao Collection in the secret painting, engraving divine phenona that project from the heart and spirit."
"Such divine heart and spirit talents, claiming he’s born with an unoccupied heart and mind, I would believe it."
Zhou Wuliang spoke earnestly.
To manifest the divine traits during Dao Collection, one must carve the divinity inside the heart and spirit from the secret painting.
Even with Zhou Wuliang’s help, Luo Fan and the others cannot fully perceive the divine traits, let alone manifest them.
Yet Su Tu, upon entering the room, rely glanced and saw the divine in the painting, thus achieving Dao Collection and even manifesting the divine traits.
Verbal praise at this mont seems powerless and hollow.
"Born unoccupied... Master, you underestimated Little Tu." Hearing Zhou Wuliang’s words, Li Hu couldn’t help but smile.
When the heart and mind reach a state of unoccupied, it’s typically achieved by ’learning’ to increase one’s level, using Qi Flow to open acupoints to amplify heart and spirit, and then relying on various aids to reach unoccupied.
Anyone under the age of eighteen achieving unoccupied can be called a prodigy. The realm of genius doesn’t allow for ordinary steps, and just a single step of unoccupied blocks many martial artists’ dreams.
Thus, born unoccupied, the divine heart and spirit talent must be incredibly high.
Yet at this mont, facing such evaluation, Li Hu said his master underestimated Su Tu.
Upon hearing this, the old man who once traveled among the stars finally lost his composure, despite his utmost effort to control his facial muscles, Li Hu saw his master’s expression oscillating between shock and calm.
At this point, Tang Yangwu could no longer bear the secret painting. He removed his helt and saw Luo Fan still persisting.
"Truly enduring," Tang Yangwu thought, and then he saw a faint glow on Luo Fan’s body, like a weak firefly, yet truly projected.
"Heart and spirit projection, he actually carved part of the divine into his heart and spirit!"
Tang Yangwu was astonished, aware that Luo Fan’s divine heart and spirit talent was not as good as his, yet the latter, with perseverance, walked further than himself..
When he looked up, a pale, flawless halo struck his eyes.
Tang Yangwu’s originally uplifted mouth lowered and then ford into a slight bitter smile.
No wonder, Luo Fan managed to carve a piece of the divine, yet the teacher said nothing. It turns out the vast sky is overhead, with the blazing sun high...
"This ti, damn it, the bet paid off," Tang Yangwu rarely cursed inwardly.
Luo Fan felt his heart and spirit constantly swelling, striving to imprint that lunar shadow on his heart. Though his heart and spirit talent were lacking, he’d grind it down bit by bit, even if just leaving a mark!
Like boiling oil, a myriad of ants gnawing at the heart, like a cold hell, interweaving pains on his heart and spirit, was the price he paid.
But Luo Fan wasn’t afraid; his talent might not be the highest, but he believed he could eventually reach the summit.
Striving desperately was his greatest talent!!
Finally, he saw a shadow seed imprinted deep within his heart and spirit.
He smiled.
He recalled the martial arts prodigy who astonished him, the overpowered body talent and skill mastery little junior, admitting he wouldn’t match Su Tu’s talent, yet would move forward step by step, until reaching the end, just like now!
Strive, then surpass!
He took off the device, feeling that trace of divine he could project from himself, mouth curling upward.
"A genius I managed to surpass is..." he began to express.
But the mont he opened his eyes, pale moonlight flowed like water, silence reigned, and all stars knelt.
He saw it, that outrageously handso youth standing in the moonlight.
Seemingly....
The Moon God descended to the mortal world!!!
Years later, when people asked how it felt to cultivate alongside that one, Luo Fan first remained silent, then chuckled lightly, "Talent is just the threshold to see him, only by striving can you have the chance to catch a glimpse of his back."
