The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 66: What Is Your Dream?
[Lin Hao used the Bad Breath Skill to defeat a Wild Cultivator from a psychological defense standpoint]
[In this match, Lin Hao picked up an "Impure Spiritual Source (Lower Grade)" from the Wild Cultivator]
[After picking up the Impure Spiritual Source (Lower Grade), Lin Hao immediately stored it in his Storage Bag]
[Impure Spiritual Source (Lower Grade):
A rare material widely used in the Cultivation Realm, for purposes like Artifact Refining, Alchemy, breeding Demon Beasts, Spirit Plant cultivation, and creating Cultivation Techniques. However, its most common use is in the making of Pseudo Spirit Roots at present in the Cultivation Realm.
Note: This Spiritual Source is extracted from forged Pseudo Spirit Roots, has been used, contains impurities, and is unsuitable for main Cultivation Techniques]
Got an item with unclear usage.
And it’s not pure, this note looks...
A bit of a cheat.
But no problem, not suitable for main Cultivation Techniques...
Can try it for auxiliary cultivation.
Got off work at 3 am, sauna for an hour, massage for an hour, now it’s already 5 am.
No point sleeping now, get up and practice "Rise and Dance"!
The plan of the day starts in the morning!
The swordsmanship I just learned needs constant honing.
As a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, skipping sleep occasionally is no big deal.
Coincidentally, the villa chosen by Mr. Hua for massage comes with a garden, allowing Lin Hao to practice freely.
At 5 am, facing the slowly rising sun, Lin Hao performed "Rise and Dance" for the first time.
[Lin Hao practiced "Rise and Dance" (Swordsmanship) once, deepening his understanding of it]
Lin Hao felt that during the practice of "Rise and Dance", he could mobilize his Magical Power, enhancing its attack power, and the power’s operation pathway can also expand meridians and strengthen the body.
Not bad!
Not bad!
Before starting the second practice, Lin Hao took out the Impure Spiritual Source from the Storage Bag, held it in his left palm, and began the second round of "Rise and Dance".
This time, following his insights, Lin Hao started circulating his Magical Power.
Due to holding the Spiritual Source, a trace of energy seeped into the power flow, making minor adjustments.
Lin Hao felt these adjustments could provide some enhancement to [Rise and Dance (Swordsmanship)], but the specifics would only reveal themselves after finishing the practice.
[Lin Hao practiced "Rise and Dance (Swordsmanship)" with the "Impure Spiritual Source (Lower Grade)" once, significantly improving it]
[While using "Rise and Dance (Swordsmanship)", the insightful Lin Hao began to comprehend Sword Qi...]
[The insightful Lin Hao began to comprehend Sword Qi...]
[The insightful Lin Hao successfully comprehended "Vile Energy"!!!]
[Vile Energy: When using Vile Energy against an opponent, it can cause them to disgrace themselves]
The next moment, Lin Hao understood the movement route for "Vile Energy".
With this route, Lin Hao could utilize "Vile Energy" while performing "Rise and Dance".
But... using swordsmanship produced "Vile Energy"?
Shouldn’t it be Sword Qi?
The log has never been wrong, so...
It’s probably a transformation brought about by the Impure Spiritual Source...
What’s the use of this "Vile Energy"?
While pondering the usefulness of "Vile Energy", his Divine Thought detected Mr. Hua walking out with a wooden sword, yawning.
Mr. Hua, bleary-eyed, entered the garden, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, the sleepiness vanished from his face.
His spirit was instantly restored.
Just as Mr. Hua was about to, as for more than ten years, perform his morning sword practice, he noticed Lin Hao.
He paused visibly, but upon seeing Lin Hao holding a sword, guessed something, and tentatively asked:
"Brother, are you practicing in the morning too?"
"Yeah."
Upon hearing Lin Hao’s words, Mr. Hua subconsciously smiled.
Happy.
Really happy.
Happier than getting Xiong Lan’s Small Pill from Lin Hao by ten times! A hundred times!
How many years!
How many years!
He finally saw someone very much like himself.
Equally handsome.
Equally thrifty.
Equally fond of the arts.
Equally practices swordsmanship in the morning!
The two share common interests and lifestyle habits!
From today onwards, they are like brothers from different parents!
"Hahaha, what a coincidence! I’m also out for morning practice! How about we practice together today?" Mr. Hua subconsciously asked.
"Sure."
Just in time, Lin Hao wanted to test how to use this so-called "Vile Energy".
Soon, Lin Hao and Mr. Hua stood facing each other, exchanged fist salutes, and held...
Thin wooden sticks.
Mr. Hua: "I have practiced swordsmanship since childhood, for eighteen years, please guide me!"
Lin Hao: "I too, since childhood... wanted to practice swordsmanship, thinking about it now, it’s also been eighteen years, please guide me!"
Mr. Hua: What does it mean by wanting to practice swordsmanship?
But Mr. Hua didn’t have time to think too much; Lin Hao had already attacked.
They exchanged blows, clang clang... clatter clatter... bang bang bang... crack crack, matching each other for dozens of moves. Mr. Hua felt he truly met his match, encountering a worthy opponent.
He and Lin Hao were really so in sync!
However, as the exchanges dragged on, unable to gain the upper hand, Mr. Hua felt increasingly restless...
In the end, the frustration got the better of him, making him subconsciously toss his wooden stick away and look up at Lin Hao, saying:
"You got the guts, chop me! Chop me! Just hack at me here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Hao’s wooden stick stopped at Mr. Hua’s neck:
"Little flying stick, here it comes."
Lin Hao realized what "vile energy" meant.
Using vile energy against an opponent could cause them to lose control of their emotions, abandon their weapon and "serve" themselves.
Great! Great! Great!
Just as Lin Hao was satisfied with mastering swordsmanship that could utilize "vile energy"...
Mr. Hua was clearly stunned, looking at his tossed wooden stick, then at the one stopped at his neck.
What did he just do?
A martial artist voluntarily discarded his weapon and stuck out his neck for the opponent to chop???
Is this being ridiculous?
If this were a real fight...
Grandpa would surely rush up to save him and then smack him with a big slap!
"Useless fellow! His mindset collapsed during the exchange!"
Ah! Letting one’s mindset collapse in confrontation is a big taboo in martial arts!
How did I end up like this?
Must have been the sword-testing pills yesterday afternoon!!!
I need to abstain!
One hour later...
Mr. Hua left the villa carrying two gourds of Xiong Lan’s Small Pill.
"Brother, sorry, my grandpa said he wants to teach me new sword techniques! Urgent!
Once I’ve mastered them, I’ll come out and find you whenever I have the chance!
You can come to this villa anytime; the entry password is..."
After bidding farewell to Lin Hao fondly, Mr. Hua drove away.
Lin Hao, meanwhile, took a cab back to the City Management Team.
Right after getting off the car, he ran into I have read it...
"Milk Tea Master, you’re back."
"Didn’t I tell you there was no need to wait?"
"It’s no big deal, just idle, staying here or elsewhere doesn’t matter! I’m telling you, it’s a good thing you didn’t come back last night; if you did, you might have been hurt. I was here waiting just in case you got caught up..."
Listening to I have read it, Lin Hao learned that last night, or rather early this morning, an Internet Troll escaped.
To be precise, the Internet Troll carried out with two other members of the Extraordinary Universal School.
After fighting to the city gates, suddenly carried the two other members of the Extraordinary Universal School back..."
"What is the Internet Troll doing?"
"I don’t know either. Now, aside from the Extraordinary Universal School members, everyone else who should be confined is locked in the chicken coop behind the kitchen."
"Chicken coop?"
"Yeah, they say there’s a chef skilled in cooking chicken, whose ability is [Draw a Prison], and has no combat power. Typically, he just stays in the City Management Team, cooks, and raises chickens. The chickens are not only big but quite beautiful.....
I have to say, the power of [Draw a Prison] is very convenient, not worried about chickens escaping. Occasionally, in emergencies, like now, the chicken coop can also be used to detain people..."
Really... there are all kinds of extraordinary powers.
...
City Management Team.
In the confinement room.
White Impermanence had already left for a while, but the Internet Troll still lay on the ground, looking up at the ceiling...
He finally knew the truth about his parents’ divorce and guessed the reason Uncle Wang disappeared.
But...
This isn’t what he wanted!
What he wanted was...
"Didn’t you say you wanted freedom! You got us out! Why’d you bring us back?" Inside the confinement room, Zhen Haoren angrily exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah! Why?" The Dog Trainer asked too.
The Internet Troll slowly sat up, looked at Zhen Haoren, then at the Dog Trainer:
"What’s your dream?
My dream... can’t be realized!
It’s just a joke!
Hahahaha, a joke, I’m just a joke!
I’m going crazy!
Hahahaha, I’m going crazy!
It’s meaningless, the world is meaningless to me!
I’d rather be dead."
