Lying on the bed, Yan Xiaoling was busy switching between forums and Weibo. She didn't want to see any negative news, but she didn't want to miss any optimistic speculations either. Until she saw Lou Cheng's post.
She was stunned. Her vision blurred. The more she rubbed, the more confused she became.
Why is it like this … Why is it like this …
Isn't he going to reach Physical Invulnerability? Isn't he going to get a title?
After a momentary daze, Yan Xiaoling raised her phone and typed under Lou Cheng's Weibo post while crying,
"We'll wait for you!"
Her reply wasn't fast enough. There were already words of disbelief that she wouldn't be able to say goodbye,
"Don't! You'll get better! "
"You're the Heavenly Son of the era. There's no obstacle you can't overcome!"
"When we're at our best, we'll be together. When we're at our lowest, we'll be together!"
"I'll burn incense and pray for you!"
"We must meet again. We really must!"
…
In the Longhu Club, which was about to have its annual break, the members of the Reserve Team were looking at their phones with sorrowful expressions.
After a long while, Tu Zheng let out a long sigh,
"What a pity …"
…
At this moment, Lou Cheng's phone was bombarded with all sorts of messages. Everyone had a tacit understanding not to call him. Instead, they used a gentler and more tactful method.
Cai Zongming said,
"Seriously, we can consider forming a martial arts crosstalk group. Alright, this is the real deal. I've made a prediction. You're not going to die yet. You'll definitely find a way to recover! Please trust a man's intuition! "
Lin Que said,
"I'm about to reach the Inhuman stage. Don't let me catch up to you."
Peng Leyun said,
"What's the problem? Our Shangqing Sect is a thousand-year-old sect. Let's not talk about other things, but we have all sorts of weird things. Do you want to give it a try? "
Ren Li said,
"There's no obstacle that can't be overcome! You can consider going down to the war-torn zones to seek survival in the midst of death! "
An Chaoyang said,
"There's always a way out! Furthermore, when the heavens are about to bestow great responsibilities on a man, they will first torment his will, tire his muscles and bones, starve his skin and skin, empty his body, and disturb his actions! "
Xing Chengwu said,
"You're still young. Don't be so pessimistic. Take good care of yourself for a few years and you'll still have a chance to reach Physical Invulnerability."
Jiang said,
"Which hero hasn't suffered setbacks!"
Qin Rui said,
"You've always been one to create miracles."
Tao Xiaofei said,
"Brother Lou, as a high school graduate, I can't think of anything to say. I just want to say that you will definitely rise again!"
Auman said,
"Mr. Lou, you're the most talented martial artist I've ever seen in real life. I'm sure you'll make it through!"
…
Lou Cheng closed his eyes and listened to the constant vibrations of his phone. After a long time, he finally picked it up with difficulty. He opened his eyes and browsed through it. He faced Scar directly.
As for Peng Leyun's suggestion, he thought about it silently for a moment and made a reply. He did not mention the cause and effect, but he still described the existence of the Jindan and the essence of the problem.
What if the Shangqing Sect really had a solution?
Lou Cheng responded to some of them together and some of them individually. Just as he was in the middle of a video call with Yan Zheke and his emotions were settling down again, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of a key being turned.
Qi Fang and Lou Zhisheng came in, panting. When they saw that his complexion was not too bad, they were slightly relieved.
"Cheng, I'm fine! Take good care of yourself, don't worry! "Qi Fang blurted out to comfort her.
It was only now that she understood what the abnormalities that she had not paid much attention to before meant.
Lou Zhisheng asked calmly.
"What's going on?"
Lou Cheng did not hide anymore and answered frankly.
"The injury left a sequela. My body will be stiff from time to time. It won't affect my daily life, but I may not be able to fight in the ring."
Seeing his parents' sorrowful expressions, he quickly smiled and said, "Dad, mom, it's nothing. I've already saved a few million, and this won't affect my teaching of martial arts. There will be a future for me. Besides, who dares to say that I can't recover?"
"That's right!" Qi Fang quickly agreed. She suddenly thought of something and instinctively lowered her voice. "Does Zheke and her family know?"
"She has known for a long time and has always supported me. Her family has no other thoughts, as long as we can get along well." Lou Cheng briefly described.
Lou Zhisheng heaved a long sigh and said,
"Good girl!"
As Lou Cheng's performance was normal and only a little gloomy, most of their worries were relieved.
The next morning, Lou Cheng returned from training in the People's Park at Sanli Pavilion. He was sweating as he ran. Every forty-eight to fifty-three steps, he would experience a "pause".
When he passed by the old residential area, he suddenly heard someone mention his name in front of him.
"Did you hear? Old Lou's son, Cheng, is in trouble! "
"You also know? Seems like he was injured by someone. There are some sequelae, just like epilepsy! "
"Epilepsy? That's really bad. How will he live in the future? "
"Sigh, Old Lou and Qi Fang are also suffering. They have endured and worked hard for half of their lives. Just when their son was about to be successful and enjoy life, something like this happened. Sigh …"
…
The chattering aunties glanced around with the corner of their eyes. Suddenly, their faces froze and their words stopped abruptly. They stuttered to the side and greeted,
"Cheng, Cheng …"
Lou Cheng smiled and nodded. "Hello, Aunty Zhu, Aunty Li …"
He simply greeted them and exchanged a few words without any change in his emotions. Then he passed by and jogged into the distance. Sometimes he would "pause" and sometimes he would not hide, leaving behind sighs.
To him, he could already predict what others would say behind his back and could not stop it. The only thing he was thankful for was that he bought a new house in advance and moved to an unfamiliar residential area. No one knew each other, so his father and mother could avoid most of the heartache.
Because of the similar atmosphere and the constant concern between relatives, Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang were fully in favor of their son going to Connecticut for Chinese New Year.
The plane took off and rushed into the blue sky. Lou Cheng looked out of the window and was lost in thought.
…
After Chinese New Year, at the beginning of February, in the Martial Arts Club of Connecticut University.
Lou Cheng paced with his hands behind his back, patrolling George and the others who were sitting cross-legged in the Five Hearts to the Sky. Occasionally, he would stop and put his hand on their shoulders to "listen" to their movements to see if they were normal.
He wanted to rely on the combination of cultivation and martial arts to solve the sequelae, but he could not find a direction and could not boldly try it himself. He could only hope that the students who were cultivating from the beginning could provide him with inspiration and find a way. He was already at a high level, so there was no way to go back.
After a while, Lou Cheng nodded lightly and clapped his hands, indicating that today's meditation was over. Next would be martial arts and combat training.
In this aspect, George, Colleen, and Wilton could already be considered half a coach, so he did not need to do too much.
After class, he checked the students' bodies using "listening" again, but did not find any changes that could benefit him.
"I'm done with class!" Yan Zheke sent a message.
Lou Cheng calmed himself down and replied with a [Smile], "I'll come and pick you up right away!"
George and Wilton were considered truants. They knew about Lou Cheng's situation, but were not sure. Seeing that their coach was acting normal, they did not ask further.
After leaving the Martial Arts Club, Lou Cheng walked towards the teaching building. After a few steps, he felt a chill and lost all feeling in his left leg. He froze on the spot.
He pulled hard on his crotch, pulled up his leg, and limped forward with great difficulty.
After two steps, he suddenly stopped. His face tightened, he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and punched the empty space beside him twice. Bam! Bam!
Yan Zheke stood in the shadows of the cloister, watching this scene from afar. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
After a few seconds, seeing that Lou Cheng had calmed down, she took a deep breath and smiled like a blooming flower. She quickly walked up to him.
Seeing his little fairy, Lou Cheng put on a smile and gently reached out to hold her hand.
"Let's go, big sister will treat you to hotpot today!" The girl waved her other hand.
Wait until big sister makes up for her congenital deficiency, then she will walk the path of martial arts and cultivation in Dan Equilibrium for your reference!
"Sure," Lou Cheng replied with a smile.
…
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of February. The weather was getting warmer.
Lou Cheng tried the Shangqing Sect's method, but to no avail. He began to sweat on the lawn.
Bam! Bam! He swung his right fist continuously. Every punch was filled with white mist and frosty frost.
When he was about to throw the third punch, he used the "All Seeing God" realm to retract his Qi and blood at the right time. He held the chill, force, and spirit that had just surged up but had yet to take effect in his lower abdomen.
Bam!
His right arm no longer seemed to belong to him. Instead, it had turned into an "ice whip". Under the shaking and pulling of his shoulder, he lashed out viciously. Although the posture was awkward, the power was not weak!
Bam! Bam! Lou Cheng's left fist punched continuously. It was covered by a fiery "glove" that turned from red to white.
Immediately after, he tried to do Force Concentration again. But this time, he was half a beat slower. The burning hurt his spirit and interrupted the retraction attempt.
After pausing and enduring for a moment, Lou Cheng started again. He was not discouraged.
Two hours later, he finally finished. He caught the towel that Yan Zheke threw down from the window on the second floor.
"I think you handled it pretty well. When you're completely familiar with it and don't make any mistakes, it shouldn't be a problem for you to fight a match of the same level that won't last long." The girl was not stingy with her praise.
"I think so too," Lou Cheng replied with a smile. He wiped his sweat with the towel and walked into the house.
After showering and changing his clothes, he lay on the bed and enjoyed his fairy's sudden massage. He casually picked up his phone and browsed the news. He saw a hot topic.
"Peng Leyun fought again after the Battle of the Kings. He's close to Physical Invulnerability. There's hope for a breakthrough within the year!"
"Is he training in seclusion or training in the chaos of war?"
…
Lou Cheng was stunned. He opened the app, clicked into the chat box with Peng Leyun, and typed in the word "congratulations".
After a few seconds of silence, he deleted the word and exited the app.
"Why didn't you send it?" Yan Zheke glanced at him and asked casually.
Lou Cheng smiled and said,
"I haven't broken through yet. It's too early to congratulate me."
"Okay." Yan Zheke didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic.
That night, in the dead of night, the girl was sleeping soundly. She turned over in a daze and glanced to the side out of habit.
This glance woke her up immediately. She saw Lou Cheng staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. She didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't change his expression for a long time.
Biting her lip, Yan Zheke didn't say anything. She pretended to be asleep and snuggled up to Lou Cheng. She gently held his arm and curled up her delicate body, pressing her face against his as if she wanted to fill his body and mind.
Lou Cheng slowly closed his eyes, raised his head, and kissed his fairy on the forehead.
…
That night, Yan Zheke took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She walked into the room with light steps.
In the bedroom, Lou Cheng was looking at the darkness outside the window with his side facing the door. He was abnormally engrossed.
"Cheng?" Yan Zheke tried calling him in a low voice.
Lou Cheng turned around and looked deeply into his fairy's eyes. He smiled and said,
"Ke, don't you have a week of spring break in March? Why don't we go see the aurora? We talked about this a long time ago, but we haven't gone yet. "
In Yan Zheke's eyes, Lou Cheng seemed to have returned to his uninjured state. He was high-spirited and energetic, without any haze.
She put away her doubts and worries and nodded solemnly.
"Okay."
