Chapter 87: New Tricks (Part 1)
Those who have never lived under someone else's roof will not understand what it feels like. It is as if you are a guest and there will be a fear of damaging things or the owner may not let you use some of them. After a while, even though the place may be small, you will subconsciously limit your own living space and act very carefully.
In the hope of no longer having to live under someone else's roof, Lu Shu begins his training.
After the second nebula was opened, the amount of celestial energy needed to illuminate the next stars had increased exponentially. The rhythm was no longer like lighting one star every day.
Moreover, his self-training speed was reduced and this was not because of his talent or he was lazy but because he had to practice his swordplay at 3am every day.
As a result, the training period at night is reduced.
Li Xianyi must have considered the situation but paid no heed to it. Improving swordplay at a stable level is more important.
He might not have realized that Lu Shu's practice was not the Yinyang Kinship of the Three, but even though the time of self-training had decreased, he could still eat the heavenly fruit to make up for it.
Others were envious that Lu Shu was given a magic stone but never thought that he was completely useless to them. Two stones a month was considered very little to him. Even if he could practice the Yinyang Kinship of the Three, this small amount of resources would not mean much.
The Daoyuan students still relied on the others as they needed to wait for the Heavenly Network to give them the method and also to distribute the training resources.
While the Heavenly Network controlled everything, Lu Shu was able to maintain his level of freedom.
Without relying on others, he could train with Lu Xiaoyu.
This was the reason why he could secretly maintain his footing in this unpredictable and chaotic world.
Without this basis, what should he hide? Like the others, he had to fight to reach the top.
As Lu Shu practiced his swordplay, Li Xianyi stood by the side and watched quietly and began to reminisce about the times he had learned swordplay for his teacher.
He was young at the time – was just 16 and playful.
His teacher had always allocated a certain amount of practice but Li Xianyi was a lazy child. Told to do 1000 swings, he would do 500 punches and claim that he was done but his teacher never exposed him.
Li Xianyi only found out later that 500 swings a day was enough. At that moment, dozens of swings had already made him tired and only by practicing little by little throughout the day could he finish it. Li Xianyi thought that it was her own flaw or that she was too lazy and funny only to find out that her teacher was just a very cunning person. . .
And now, he wanted to use his teacher's tactics to teach Lu Shu but was shocked to find this young man seriously and correctly completing 1000 swings every day without fail.
Given Lu Shu's metahuman physique of this kind, completing 1000 swings would not cause any problems but his key point was 'full effort'.
Li Xianyi watched with mixed feelings and she never told Lu Shu that 500 swings was enough.
Like glass bottles, promises made are easily broken and words written are also easily forgotten. Humans are just forgetful creatures.
But Lu Shu seemed to remember all of the promises she made and wished she had written and used them to fuel her continued efforts.
This young man as he said, was doing his best to survive.
There was one more thing he did not say to Lu Shu. In an era of rare magical energy, they must find an alternative that uses the vitality of their own body in lieu of magical energy to gain life-changing power. He asked Lu Shu to practice the swing especially since it was a mandatory process to gather vitality.
This is different from training you can rely on resources to do it but swordplay, this is legitimate kung fu that is achieved with your own efforts.
Looking at Lu Shu's focus, this young man should be born with strong vitality and be able to focus heavily on whatever he does.
At this rate, the completion of the canal is possible in the near future.
The atmosphere between the two was rather quiet. Other than instruction and teaching Lu Shu the right attitude, Li Xianyi never said anything. Neither did Lu Shu.
Lu Shu's swing was starting to improve. In the past, he felt that hitting someone was most effective when using your brute strength.
But now he realized that to utilize 100% of your strength required training!
It's like a tennis lesson where the teacher will never emphasize on the strength of your arm but about the circumference of your waist to turn the most force into your arm.
After Lu Shu realized this, she felt like she was unlocking a new world of knowledge and although exhausting, it was meaningful.
Li Xianyi looked at Lu Shu's focus and thought that if he worked hard like Lu Shu, he would reach Class A early.
Before the completion of the canal, talent was useless and you could only wait and endure. But Li Xianyi was looking forward to what Lu Shu could accomplish after it was done!
Did he have the perseverance to complete the canal and did he have the talent to dig wide!
. . .
At the morning sale with rotten tofu, Lu Shu once again performed his usual actions which began to provide a steady income from the points of distress.
But this is not a long-term solution. After angering everyone for a period of time, they would not approach him anymore.
The sales will not decrease as long as there is still tofu in the crate and customers can still see the unsold tofu. However, he had to keep thinking of new ways to get distress points from his customers.
Lu Shu was very proud of himself thinking of having an alternative plan. Who else could cut him off?
Arriving at the classroom, Lu Shu immediately glanced at Liu Li's hair. Wow, it's getting less and less.
Did Liu Li not care about her hair loss? Lu Shu felt that the representatives of this class went to extremes to train. . .
He thought for a moment before sending out a message in the group chat: sudden death should not be the main concern of teenagers, hair loss.
Lu Shu wanted to obtain some distress points from Liu Li. After all, he was the type of person who would not even allow those boys and girls to 'message in a bottle'.
But Lu Shu waited half a day and noticed Liu Li finally checking his phone. There is no point of trouble.
What the hell is going on?
F* ck, does that trash get in my way ?!
Lu Shu instantly sent a direct message to Liu Li: sudden death should not be the main concern of teenagers, hair loss.
Liu Li would explode with anger. Damn you, I already blocked you in the chat group and you still …
"From Liu Li's distress, +999!"
