(I added the essences that I didn't add last week, and I realized that half of this week's essences had been used up. It's a new week, and I hope there will be new support. Hehe!)
Zhao Guang drove Hao Ren to the gate of the dorm and didn't send him in.
Zhao Yanzi was still asleep, and Hao Ren didn't want to wake her up. He said goodbye to Zhao Guang and his wife and thanked them again for their hospitality this weekend.
Zhao Hongyu liked her future son-in-law more and more. She thought that he was smart and sensible, and she liked him even more than Zhao Yanzi. She secretly saw him as her own son.
Hao Ren went back to the dorm and saw that it was empty. He guessed that they had gone to the internet café to play computer games. Since the school rules forbade freshmen and sophomores from bringing computers to the dorm, and the school didn't allow internet access in the lower dorm buildings, the internet café was the place they frequented the most.
While they were out, Hao Ren finished all the homework that he had accumulated for the whole week. As for the more complicated ones that he was too lazy to do, he planned to borrow someone's notebook to copy them before class next week.
It was almost dinner time, and the other three dorm mates hadn't come back yet. In fact, Zhao Jiayi and the others thought that Hao Ren had gone back home early on Saturday morning, and they also thought that he would return to the dorm at seven or eight o 'clock on Sunday night as usual. They didn't expect that Hao Ren had gone out with his' fiancée 'this weekend.
Hao Ren recalled that this weekend at GreenStone Mountain was probably the most fulfilling and meaningful one he had recently.
He flipped open his phone and found the picture of Zhao Yanzi pouting angrily on the screen.
He used the computer in the hotel room to upload this photo to his cell phone.
He had eyes that shone like black pearls, a delicate nose, a small cherry-like mouth, and naturally curled eyelashes. Coupled with the illusory green forest and gray stone steps in the background, this fellow looked like he had the potential to be a model.
If Zhao Jiayi and the others hadn't seen Zhao Yanzi in person before, they would have thought that this was a picture of a beautiful girl downloaded from the internet.
Hao Ren thought about it and didn't have the courage to use this photo as the background of his cell phone.
Although she was only a little girl now, she would definitely grow into a super beauty in three years. However, the 15-year-old Zhao Yanzi could be considered a super pretty girl with her looks. She must be very popular in her own school.
"Ugh, what am I thinking? Am I jealous?" Hao Ren suddenly realized.
Zhao Jiayi and the other two finally came back after seven o 'clock at night. They were surprised to see Hao Ren in the dorm.
"Why are you back so early today?" Zhao Jiayi asked.
Sure enough, they thought Hao Ren had gone home. Of course, Hao Ren wouldn't mention that he went out with Zhao Yanzi's family. If they knew that he went out with the girl's family, they would definitely suspect his relationship with the girl.
"Tomorrow is the Athletic Games. Ren, you have to do your best and try not to be the last," Zhou Liren patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
You guys really have high expectations of me. A drop of cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's forehead.
"I don't have to go to class for the whole day tomorrow. It's pretty cool!" Cao Ronghua, who was usually calm, was also excited when they talked about the Athletic Games.
They talked about which classes would have the most beautiful girls in the Athletic Games and searched for binoculars. They didn't have any hope for Hao Ren's 1500m race. If they weren't roommates, they probably wouldn't even care.
In their eyes, Hao Ren was brought in to make up the numbers. It would be great if he didn't end up in the last place. After all, there weren't any amazing people in this year's major. Most of them were just ordinary students. Occasionally, there were a few who were a little better, but they were good at studying.
They talked about the Athletic Games excitedly. Hao Ren ignored them and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.
The rain had stopped, and the moon was hanging in the sky.
Hao Ren silently circulated the Spirit Concentration Scroll twice and felt refreshed. All the impurities in his body were expelled.
He carefully felt the thousand-year-old ancient tree in the Daoist temple at the top of GreenStone Mountain and the stone tablet with the Daoist scriptures carved on it. He felt like he couldn't grasp that vague feeling no matter how hard he tried.
Hao Ren still couldn't forget the comfortable feeling of the thick wood essence entering his body. He also couldn't understand the weak suction force when the essence in his body went to the tree trunk.
"Water element …"
Hao Ren suddenly remembered what Su Han said when she grabbed his arm.
"Could it be that the Spirit Concentration Scroll uses the water essence in the world?" An idea popped into Hao Ren's mind.
"When a general wants something, he must open it. When a general wants something weak, he must strengthen it. When a general wants to destroy something, he must strengthen it. When a general wants to take something, he must give it. This is called dimness. The weak triumphs over the strong … "
The words on the stone tablet appeared before Hao Ren's eyes again.
Hao Ren felt like his heart was knocked, and he felt like the barrier between the first and second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll was about to be broken.
"It turns out that Zhao Guang asked me to visit the Daoist temple at the top of the mountain not only to accompany Zhao Yanzi but also to test my comprehension ability."
Hao Ren furrowed his brows and tried hard to find the feeling of 'water'.
The more persistent he was, the harder it was for him to comprehend.
He exhaled deeply and slowly circulated the Spirit Concentration Scroll. He calmed himself down.
"Water is Yin, and wood is Yang. They promote and counter each other, and they can complement each other. The combination of hardness and softness, and they control and complement each other …" When Hao Ren thought of the ancient tree, he suddenly had some real insights.
The pure wood essence seed that was left in Hao Ren's body suddenly sprouted. In the blink of an eye, the water essence in the world formed a few tiny water pillars and rushed into Hao Ren's body.
Hao Ren felt extremely comfortable. It was as if his body had become a clear container, storing all the Qi of Nature in the world.
He knew that he was about to break through the first level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll and reach the second level of absorbing the nature essence! This was the insight that the ancient tree gave him. As for the stone tablet, it talked about the Dao of Water Manipulation, which was in line with the realm of using the nature essence in the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll!
The mist in the air gradually formed nine spinning water streams that were hard to see and entered nine important acupoints on Hao Ren's upper, middle, and lower body.
After entering Hao Ren's body, the thick water essence found its place and was about to settle down.
"Ren, what are you doing outside!" Zhao Jiayi suddenly shouted in the dorm room.
Hao Ren was startled, and the nine water pillars that were pouring into Hao Ren's body immediately dissipated.
Zhao Jiayi walked to the balcony and patted Hao Ren's shoulder. "What are you thinking outside? You still have the competition tomorrow! Rest early! "
He dragged Hao Ren back to the room.
Almost at the same time, the seed of enlightenment that the ancient tree had given him was used up. Hao Ren couldn't find any trace of wood essence in his body anymore, and he couldn't control the thick water essence in his body. His body was like a leaking vessel, and the water essence that had accumulated in his body was gone.
The nature essence around Hao Ren's body became chaotic again, and it traveled freely without any five elements.
Hao Ren knew that he had wasted a great opportunity to break through to the second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through again.
Although he was disappointed, he didn't want to blame Zhao Jiayi. After all, Zhao Jiayi saw him standing outside for a long time, and it was for his own good that he asked him to go back to his room to rest.
"Sigh, next time I should find a quiet place where I won't be disturbed." Hao Ren climbed to his upper berth and thought to himself in frustration.
