Chapter 479: Madman Le Buleng
Translator: TYZ Editor: X, TYZ
The Spear of Heavy Cloud’s camp was silent. Only Le Buleng’s voice could be heard.
"I don’t know what pointers I can give you. I never practiced the power of lightning before, and I don’t really understand it. I can only give a rough account of how I train. I hope this can be of so help to you."
Le Buleng looked as if he was recalling sothing. However, most of ti, he looked indifferent, as if he was chit-chatting about ordinary daily life. At this point in ti, his tone beca much more gentle. "I can’t really rember much about my past. The last ti I failed, it was five years ago, around the ti when the blood catastrophe broke out. The last ti I failed, the outco wasn’t really that bad. Only my Path of Master was destroyed."
Path of Master destroyed... the result wasn’t really that bad...
Ai Hui couldn’t help but ask, "Is there an outco that is worse than this?"
"Yes." Le Buleng nodded his head. "There was a ti where I was severely injured and in a desert. Six of my palaces were destroyed, so I couldn’t move at all. My elental energy was completely depleted as well. I laid in the desert for five days without encountering anyone. Subsequently, I was discovered by a colony of white ants and half of my left arm was bitten off. Luckily, my bones were intact. At that mont, I still thought I was going to die. Haha. Fortunately, a huge sand storm arrived and saved my life. I was buried under a sand dune for... four or six months? I have forgotten about it. However, at that ti, I managed to co up with the [Cold Embers] and [Earth Elental Inverse Flas] techniques. Ultimately, I made a gain."
When Le Buleng talked about training, he seed to have beco an entirely different person. His skinny and dried face loosened up and looked as if it was giving off radiance. His aged eyes beca sharp and bright.
"At that mont, I was actually going to lose consciousness, but I wanted to survive. Suddenly, I thought of how embers could sustain for a long period of ti without being extinguished. I didn’t think too much at that ti. All I wanted to do was to buy more ti for myself. I didn’t expect my idea to be so useful. After another two months, I finally regained so of my elental energy. With my surroundings covered in sand, I could not absorb any fire elental energy. Therefore, I had to think of another idea. Finally, I was able to co up with [Earth Elental Inverse Flas]. It took another few more months to recover."
Ai Hui looked blankly at Le Buleng. He could not imagine himself being severely injured with his arm bitten off by white ants while buried under a sand dune for several months.
Ai Hui was considered an individual that had been through hardship. He had built up his endurance through the ti he spent in the Wilderness. This had given him an extrely huge advantage. His training intensity had always been very high. The elentalists in Sword of Lightning were tortured by him to the point that they were going to collapse.
However, he still paled in comparison to Senior Le Buleng.
Le Buleng beca very talkative when he talked about training. He was completely different from the cold and reticent old fogey from before. He did not even need other people to liven the conversation.
"Subsequently, I found a Path of Master through [Cold Embers] and [Earth Elental Inverse Flas]. However, that Path of Master was not good enough and I failed in making a breakthrough to the level of Grandmaster." Le Buleng shook his head, looking as if he had co to a dead end. Then, he continued, "Oh, oh, oh, we were talking about five years ago just now. Five years ago, when I failed, I quickly began to think of an idea. However, before I could co up with an idea, the Elders Guild was incompetent and lost the Fire Prairie. By that point, I knew it would be troubleso to obtain fire elental materials in the future. Ordinary thods definitely would not work. Then, I thought of a new thod."
Everyone was listening to Le Buleng attentively. A chance to hear an exceptional elite like Senior Le Buleng talk about his training path was hard to co by.
Sitting in the fire reservoir, Faty could not help but ask, "What thod?"
Fatty’s form of respect and admiration toward Le Buleng was different from the others. He also felt that the old fogey was rather formidable, but treated him like a storyteller as well. When he heard the story reached a critical junction, he could not restrain himself.
Le Buleng was not annoyed by Fatty’s question. Instead, he asked Fatty cheekily, "You’re also a fire elentalist. Can you guess what the thod was?"
Fatty did not expect the old fogey to throw the ball back at him. However, when he saw the cheeky look on the old fogey’s face, he was annoyed. Fatty snorted, "Without the Fire Prairie, you can’t use the ordinary thods. Five years ago, the Wilderness Expansion Order had not been announced yet, so it has nothing to do with the Wilderness. Just now you ntioned that your base level had collapsed and you had to re-cultivate your elental energy. At that ti, the only source that could produce an endless amount of fire elental energy was..."
Fatty muttered to himself for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "I know! The sun!"
Le Buleng was stunned. He had not expected Fatty to be able to co up with the answer. He could not help but examine Fatty closely. Fatty’s aptitude was rather good, but his strength still paled in comparison to Zu Yan.
When Fatty saw the facial expression of Le Buleng, he knew he had guessed correctly. Feeling imnsely proud of himself, he said, "How hard can such an easy question be?"
At this mont, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. Fatty was right. The sun was able to produce an endless amount of fire elental energy.
"But isn’t the fire elental energy from the sun weak?" Shi Xueman felt puzzled.
People had tried using the fire elental energy from the sun to train a long ti ago, but the fire elental energy from the sun was extrely weak, making it very difficult for one train with it. By comparison, the fire elental energy from lava in volcanoes was easier to absorb and use.
"The fire elental energy from the sun is indeed very weak. Ordinary thods definitely will not work," Le Buleng replied. "However, I know where the fire elental energy from the sun would be very strong."
"Where?" Fatty asked.
"The depths of the sky."
Hiss. Everyone drew in a breath of cold air.
The depths of the sky was an extrely dangerous place. A mont of carelessness would cause one to be shredded to smithereens. Even with Ai Hui and Shi Xueman’s current strength, they could not survive long in the depths of the sky.
"I thought Senior’s base level had collapsed? With the strength of a Master, how could you ascend to the depths of the sky?" Sang Zhijun interrupted.
"I am familiar with that place. That place might seem dangerous, but once you get used to it, it’s not that dangerous. Of course, it was rather painful at the beginning. Subsequently, it got better."
At this point in ti, everyone was filled with imnse admiration for Le Buleng. Le Buleng’s perseverance and zealotry far exceeded their expectations. If one went to the depths of the sky without attaining the level of Master first, he or she would most likely die. Shi Xueman, who had been to the depths of the sky under the protection of her master, clearly knew that the danger of that place had been downplayed by Le Buleng.
Even if one had rich experience, the amount of pain that his or her body had to withstand remained the sa.
"This ti around, the Path of Master that I ca up with was the [Grandmaster Obliteration Flas]." Le Buleng’s eyes flickered, looking as if there were flas burning within them. "At that ti, I felt that I had a high chance of becoming a Grandmaster. Before , no one was able to utilize the sun to such a level. My [Grandmaster Obliteration Flas] technique is unique."
Le Buleng’s tone was proud and domineering, but everyone was filled with admiration toward him.
The na "Grandmaster Obliteration Flas" could cause one’s heart to palpitate in fear. Flas that could obliterate a Grandmaster!
Le Buleng suddenly shifted his gaze to Ai Hui and said with a deep voice, "Your lightning is also very unique. I have seen your sword pagodas, and they are very interesting. However, coming up with sword pagodas is not enough. You have to reach your full potential! Right now, you’re like a sissy. Look at your training programs. What kind of bullsh*t are they?"
Le Buleng’s ruthless words suddenly pelted Ai Hui in his face, stunning everyone.
At the next mont, everyone’s facial expression changed. Ai Hui might appear cheeky all the ti, but his temperant was actually absolutely terrible. He was soone that was anable to coaxing, but not coercion!
However, the thing that caused them to beco dumbstruck was when Ai Hui bowed respectfully and said, "Senior, thank you for your pointers!"
Le Buleng did not smile just because Ai Hui treated him with respect. Instead, he knitted his eyebrows and said, "I have already given you the pointers that you need. It will have to depend on you, yourself, to determine what to do next. Your path is different from others. No one can teach you anything."
When Le Buleng recalled that his disciple still had to work under Ai Hui, he stopped in his tracks, glanced at Ai Hui, and said, "I feel that you’re like : soone who has desire. My desire is to beco a Grandmaster and defeat Dai Gang. I don’t know what your desire is and whether it is easier or harder to achieve than mine, but if you have a desire, you have to be hard on yourself. diocrity is not enough to make your desire co true."
Ai Hui’s body trembled.
"I will leave Zu Yan here. I need to go and train now," Le Buleng turned around and told Shi Xueman.
After Le Buleng finished his sentence, he flew up and disappeared into the sky.
Everyone was at a loss. Le Buleng’s words gave them a huge shock. No one expected Le Buleng, who had been regarded by many as a loser, to be so tenacious.
Yes, he was tenacious.
Even now, Le Buleng had not beco a Grandmaster, and he was still a loser who had yet to succeed. In the future, after many years had passed, everyone would still rember Dai Gang, but no one would rember that Le Buleng failed eight tis to break through to the Grandmaster level.
Yet, his failure to beco a Grandmaster did not stop the crowd from respecting and revering him at all.
Ai Hui was still at a loss. His mind was filled with the words that Le Buleng had just said.
When the others saw Ai Hui’s facial expression, a look of pity appeared on their faces. In their eyes, Ai Hui was already very hard on himself. He trained without knowing what fatigue felt like. He was perfect in the diligence departnt. No ordinary individual could train crazily and recklessly like Le Buleng.
Le Buleng was a madman!
Jiang Wei and the rest were about to console Ai Hui, but were stopped by Shi Xueman. They looked at Shi Xueman, and she shook her head at them.
Ai Hui stood there with a blank look on his face.
.....
On the ridge of the Blackfish Mouth Volcano, there was a huge quagmire that had a diater of a few miles.
The exhausted Wang Xiaoshan laid in a pool of mud with half of his face subrged. He was panting heavily, and his mind was blank. He looked at the sky with emptiness in his eyes.
Every now and then, the black volcanic plu from the Blackfish Mouth Volcano would drift past the azure sky in his eyes.
His elental energy and physical strength were completely depleted.
He was single-handedly building a city. Wang Xiao’s face twitched with bitter agony.
He had overestimated himself.
Everyone had relied on him.
With his physical strength completely depleted, his mind drifted like the volcanic plu in the sky. Suddenly, he thought of the day in the Garden of Life when Ai Hui led them to avoid the blood fiends.
"Who is an earth elentalist?"
He would never forget the question that Ai Hui asked on that day for the rest of his life. That mont was the turning point of his life. They hid under the rocks and soil, waiting for their reinforcents to arrive in the darkness. No one knew Wang Xiaoshan was feeling more touched than fearful. That was the first ti he had realized that he was capable of helping other people.
Fast forward to the present day, he was very glad that he could be together with everyone.
Countless tis, he would think about how lucky it was for a useless man like him to survive the blood catastrophe.
Patter.
A drop of pea-sized rain fell on his face. Extre pain spread over his face.
More and more raindrops fell on his face. Soon, torrents of rain fell from the sky. He could not even open his eyes.
It was painful...
Suddenly, the image of Ai Hui kneeling before the graves of Han Yuqin and Wang Shouchuan amid the torrential rain in Central Pine City appeared in his mind.
It must be very painful...
The grief and sha from that day gushed into his mind. He rembered he had told himself that day, Wang Xiaoshan, you must be able to help everyone in the future.
Raindrops fell on his face with a scorching sensation.
From an unknown source, a surge of strength gushed through Wang Xiaoshan’s body. He struggled to pick himself up and build his city amid the rain.
