Chapter 118: Liu Li breaks through (Part 1)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When the morning came, Lu Shu was still speaking beside Liu Li. He spoke of his stories from his childhood days all the way to high school… Most of it was made up, and Lu Shu was about to run out of ideas!
But slowly, Liu Li managed to resist Lu Shu. Although his training was slower than others, he slowly managed to stabilize himself and could train while listening to Lu Shu’s stories…
When night came, Liu Li snuck outside to train on the hill. He wanted to make use of the available resources to speed up his training.
Only after leaving Lu Shu did he feel the true bliss of being able to train alone. His training progress was much faster, at least 3 times faster than before!
As he was training, a voice ringed beside his ear, “Look at the sky!”
Liu Li looked up instinctively and regretted immediately. This was obviously Lu Shu’s voice, but as he looked at Lu Shu, Lu Shu continued, “Why is there nothing in the sky…”
“From Liu Li’s distress, +999.”
Liu Li didn’t have any mood to speak to Lu Shu, so he closed his eyes and continued to train.
“d.a.m.n, the ancient remains!”
Hearing the words ‘ancient remains’, Liu Li opened his eyes only to hear Lu Shu continue, “are still not open yet…”
“From Liu Li’s distress, +999.”
As he earned another wave of distress points, Lu Shu went to somewhere no one could see to eat his fruits and upon finis.h.i.+ng, returned to hara.s.s Liu Li for more distress points.
Although Liu Li was slowly getting used to it, his distress points did not decrease…
At the break of dawn, the red clouds glowed and the sunlight shone brightly through them, lighting up the great Earth. The entire Beimang mountain was filled with tents and numerous daoyuan students could be seen training.
At this moment, Lu Shu was satisfied with his earning of celestial fruits. He had lit up his fourth star!
With Liu Li by his side, Lu Shu’s training was indeed faster than his original speed… He then wondered how many points did he earn from Liu Li exactly…
In the day, there were many foreign faces in the military camp, all of which belonged to daoyuan students.
But everyone did not interact much, focusing solely on training and only taking a break for the occasional meal.
With the form teachers in charge, there weren’t any unsightly squabbles during meal times as well.
There were more than 6000 daoyuan students in the military camp now, with Luo Cheng contributing the greatest number of students. On the other hand, some small cities only had 200 students in daoyuan cla.s.s…
Lu Shu wanted to find out more about the competence of pract.i.tioners from other cities but never had the chance to do so.
He had relaxed completely now. To be honest, hara.s.sing Liu Li had taken up much of his energy as well. He was tired but the results of his training were obvious. The fourth star generated much newfound strength and celestial energy for him.
If he could only sustain the celestial cloak for half an hour in the past, he could definitely sustain it for 45 minutes without any issue with his newfound power.
With every improvement he made, Lu Shu experienced new changes in his body and abilities.
Since he already made a breakthrough, Lu Shu didn’t see the need to hara.s.s Liu Li anymore. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to disturb him, it was just that he didn’t plan on thinking so hard just to annoy him.
He then found Liu Li and sat beside him. As Lu Shu fiddled with his phone, he asked Liu Li, “Cla.s.s rep, let’s arm wrestle. Cla.s.s rep, let’s arm wrestle…”
He continued to play that recording from his phone until its battery went flat… Lu Shu looked around but was disappointed that a charging port couldn’t be found in such a large military camp…
Even if he hara.s.sed Liu Li without thinking much, he could ama.s.s close to ten thousand distress points in a day… Lu Shu felt that his victim would be annoyed to death by him soon…
Every daoyuan student of Luo Cheng knew about Lu Shu’s constant hara.s.sment of Liu Li. In time, everyone started being nice to Lu Shu and no one dared to even queue in front of him during meal times. Everyone gave in to Lu Shu, “Lu Shu, get your meal first!”
They were afraid that they might suffer the same fate as Liu Li now that no one would meddle in these minor affairs as all the form teachers were training hard as well.
In fact, training was the most important thing for pract.i.tioners. As pract.i.tioners, all the cla.s.s form teachers would naturally prioritize training. This was also the instructions from their superiors because Xi Fei and his company were the true fighting force of the country as daoyuan students could not be relied upon, yet.
Lu Shu didn’t excuse himself from their formalities, “Here here here, Jiang Shuyi you queue in front of me. Get your food first.”
The people beside him were annoyed. It was nice of us to allow you to get your food first, why did you get another person?
“From Yuan Chaojun’s distress, +17…”
“From…”
Lu Shu didn’t mind the wave of over 1000 distress points. After all, a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
Four days pa.s.sed, the daoyuan students continued reaching new heights in their training with the rich magical energy available. Students with poorer apt.i.tudes began completing the mysterious matter chapter while those who had better apt.i.tudes like Jiang Shuyi started mastering the mysterious senses chapter.
But apart a handful of students, most of the students did not manage to catch up with the training of the form teachers.
Actually, the apt.i.tudes of Xi Fei and his company were high as well. At an early stage, they could reach cla.s.s E, how bad could their apt.i.tudes be? Sending them as daoyuan cla.s.s form teachers, they definitely were chosen with being able to be respected by their students in mind.
By this time, Lu Shu didn’t hara.s.s Liu Li at all. Jiang Shuyi and he went over to the site for the other schools to see what the other students were like.
But what Lu Shu did not expect was that the students around Liu Li were breaking through to cla.s.s C one by one while Liu Li was still some way off.
As these students did not have the method of training for the next stage, they went out to explore, causing much commotion.
Liu Li continued training even though he was extremely disappointed.
As Lu Shu and Jiang Shuyi were walking around the military camp aimlessly, Lu Shu was constantly updated with distress points from Liu Li. There were even more points than what Liu Li provided him with yesterday…
He didn’t understand what was happening as he didn’t know what Liu Li was feeling.
Liu Li’s feeling now was like being a person in a rush but stepping into a puddle of feces. He was afraid of the possibility of not being able to catch up with the rest…
Lu Shu calculated his distress point balance. He had about 20 thousand points now, and 40 celestial fruits were required for the fourth star while 80 were needed for the fifth one. He was still quite far away from 80 celestial fruits.
Just then, Liu Li’s hysterical laughter echoed over from Lu Shu’s campsite, “Hahahaha, Lu Shu is there!”
Jiang Shuyi watched silently and thought Lu Shu was really unrivaled, turning a prodigy into a loser… the time he took to complete his training was slower than those with tier c apt.i.tude by one day…
But for some reason, he felt that Lu Shu was quite indifferent towards training. It was like he really was waiting to arm wrestle Liu Li!
