As Zhang Weiyu slept on the kang, Lü Shu picked up some hay and laid it out on the ground. Not long after, Zhang Weiyu fell asleep.
Lü Shu did not fall asleep as he rested his head on his arms. He had experienced so many things on the first day he came to this world. He forced himself to quickly sort out his thoughts, hoping to figure out what this world was like.
He only ate one cornbread a day, half at noon and half at night.
His muscles began to ache, just like when he had just come out of the orphanage to do heavy work.
However, back then, he still had Lü Xiaoyu. Lü Xiaoyu would wash his clothes properly, and Lü Shu would feel calmer when he saw the clothes hanging outside the window.
Now, he could only search for a glimmer of hope to return to this dangerous world alone.
He wondered how Lü Xiaoyu was doing now. Would he be very sad?
Lü Shu wanted to check if there was anything about Lü Xiaoyu in the records of his negative emotions. It would be too comforting if he could add a sentence to it. Even if it was just a complaint from Lü Xiaoyu, it would be good.
However, he realized that the barrier of this world seemed to have cut off all negative emotions.
Lü Shu got up and stood quietly in the courtyard. Then, he slowly began to do push-ups on the ground. He persevered even though his arms were trembling.
Drops of sweat dripped from his chin to the ground until Lü Shu could no longer support his own weight.
When he could no longer do push-ups, he simply sat on the ground with his legs crossed to rest. At this moment, Zhang Weiyu leaned against the adobe wall with his arms crossed. "Do you really want to become stronger that badly? Actually, it doesn't matter if you're strong or not. Didn't someone as powerful as the Old Divine King die? Just be an honest commoner. If you really can't take it anymore, you can become a slave. Isn't that still living? "
Lü Shu glanced at Zhang Weiyu and said, "That's not to live for a lifetime, but to live for a few moments. If you live just to eat, then what's the point of living?"
There was something that Lü Shu did not say. He wanted to go home. He wanted to go back to find Lü Xiaoyu.
Lü Shu didn't have any suitable cultivation technique at the moment, so he could only cultivate in such a simple manner. However, he thought that since other living creatures could strengthen their bodies by absorbing spiritual energy, why couldn't humans do the same?
Lv Shu had once thought about this problem. Ordinary people on Earth had discovered that the physical fitness brought about by exercise after the Spirit Energy Revival was far better than before. Therefore, in the two years after the Spirit Energy Revival, there were even athletes who achieved speed and strength close to F-level.
The spiritual energy here was even denser. In that case, could he achieve the same goal through pure training? Lü Shu didn't need to be strong, as long as he could break free from the shackles. By then, with his strength, even if he hadn't reached the first class, he could still start to find his way home with peace of mind.
Zhang Weiyu glanced at Lü Shu and turned back to the house without saying anything. "If you want to train, then train. Just don't delay your work. You look so fair and clean, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel to yourself. Train, train, train. In this world, only the winner takes all. Those who can succeed are all ruthless people. "
Lü Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu and said, "Big brother, you're just a commoner. Your life is worse than that of a slave. Don't be so full of yourself, okay?"
"Negative emotion points from Zhang Weiyu, + 399!"
Zhang Weiyu was so angry that he went back to sleep. He had wanted to praise this kid for being so hardworking, but he couldn't bring himself to do so!
Lü Shu stood up after resting. He found a piece of firewood and began to recall the scene of him practicing with Li Xianyi. However, just as he was about to start from the beginning, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The extremely fast sword slash slowed down. When the firewood was halfway down, Lü Shu lowered his waist and raised his wrist, switching from the slash to the flick.
Although Lü Shu's strength was gone, his sword intent was still there. Other than Li Xianyi, there was probably no one else on Earth who had a higher sword intent than him.
The myriad changes of the Thirteen Words Formula were in his heart. Back then, when he practiced with the sword like Li Xianyi, the speed at which he slashed his sword became slower and slower. That was the process of merging the sword with the Path.
But now, Lü Shu's sword was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Sometimes, even his body couldn't keep up with the 'Dao' that he had comprehended.
However, every time he couldn't keep up, it was as if he had become one with the world. Spiritual Qi would be gently injected into his muscles and bones, nourishing everything.
In the past, spiritual Qi couldn't enter his body at all because the star chart was too domineering.
At this moment, Lü Shu's sword intent was even above his actual strength. It was the result of him waking up at 3 am every night to practice his sword. It was the world's reward for his sweat.
The first grade realm was the realm where one could communicate with the world. Lü Shu thought that he had the realm but no strength. Then what was the deal with the spiritual Qi that entered his body during the process of merging the sword with the Path? Was it the world helping him to slowly fill up what he lacked?
The spiritual Qi wasn't under his control. It was only slowly increasing his physical attributes. Lü Shu felt that this was more like a process of body tempering. His physical body was getting stronger.
After suffering a great loss this time, Lü Shu felt that he was really lacking in body tempering and wanted to make up for it.
But no matter what, what he needed the most right now was a means to protect himself and secure his life.
At daybreak, Zhang Weiyu went out and stretched his back. When he saw Lü Shu, he was shocked. "You've been practicing the entire night?"
Lü Shu gave it some thought and said, "I was too tired and fell asleep in the yard."
"I knew it," Zhang Weiyu said with a smile. "It's better for an ordinary person like you to stop dreaming about cultivating."
In fact, Lü Shu had indeed practiced the entire night. Most importantly, he realized that the more he practiced, the more energetic he became. The fatigue that he had felt after a day of farming had also disappeared without a trace.
He felt that it was all thanks to his fearless sword practice back then that he had such a turnaround today. Although he hadn't even seen the threshold of the sixth grade, Lü Shu knew that it was only a matter of time. At the very least, in this world where cultivation methods were controlled by different levels, he, Lü Shu, had a shortcut that he could take!
Just then, a group of people suddenly galloped in. When they arrived at Zhang Weiyu's house, the person in the lead said impatiently, "My clan head has asked me to send you a gift. That handsome lad over there, do you accept it?"
Before everyone came out, the clan head had actually instructed that people with integrity might not accept these gifts. If Lü Shu didn't accept them, then they would bring them back in their original state. So everyone came here just to go through the formality. They didn't want to waste too much time.
Lü Shu looked at their marks- they were from House Yu. Lü Shu frowned- the image of a man with integrity that he'd just established yesterday couldn't just crumble just like that, right? "Is there anything to eat inside?"
'Received negative emotions from Zhang Weiyu, + 666!'
'Received …'
