Chapter 235: Mid Secound-stage Martial Artist
Lu Zhen sat in a meditative position as he slowly went into meditation, and the vision of the tree appeared.
Seeing the vision, his gaze turned tender as he looked at the tree with a familiar expression. While he had comprehended some of the true form of his martial arts, he also gained a sense of familiarity with it; after all, it was slowly becoming a part of his body.
Without wasting much time, Lu Zhen touched the tree, closed his eyes, and began to comprehend it.
To his surprise, he progressed as fast as before, completely as if he were walking, comprehending everything about his true form from birth to death and the recycling of nature.
While his plant Qi had a strange resonance with the true form, the more he comprehended the true form of his martial arts.
The strengthened and condensed Qi gradually resonated with the true form, and a mutation occurred. The plant Qi had theoretically been condensed to the limit and couldn't be strengthened any further. However, the green Qi in Lu Zhen's body flashed with a blue light, indicating a type of mutation as if it were being combined with a strange force.
The more Lu Zhen comprehended, the faster the combination took place.
Boom!
Lu Zhen's eyes snapped open as the combination was finally completed, and his crimson eyes flashed with a green and blue mixed light.
"Have I comprehended this so easily?" he thought, shock evident on his face.
He stood up from the ground and casually looked at the wall.
Lu Zhen raised his right hand and punched with the smallest amount of strength he could muster.
His fist slowly travelled to touch the wall, and Lu Zhen lightly touched the surface.
Boom!
The wall was directly crushed into bits and pieces, leaving a faint blue damage around it.
"Hmm..." Lu Zhen nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
"My strength has increased once again." However, he didn't get too excited just because of this and went back to his deep thoughts.
He could already guess that since his intelligence levelled up, he has gained a terrifying comprehension. The most terrifying thing about his increased consciousness wasn't his meticulous planning but his terrifying comprehension.
"Maybe I should learn the formation as well…" However, these thoughts went to the back of his mind the moment they came up. After all, the terrifying sense of urgency still crept into his heart, and although this formation might be useful, it took time to fully understand it, even with his comprehension.
Lu Zhen has already read it once, and while he could learn it if given time, he didn't have time right now to spare.
"Let's search about souls in the book again.." A frown marred his face as Lu Zhen thought bitterly.
While the bloodline extraction was on hold for now, his body cultivation was also stagnant. The Nihility didn't work for him anymore, and nothing else worked except for the waters.
But he had already faced the consequences when he went to the river and had no interest in going anymore, especially after facing it.
Lu Zhen was pretty sure he would instantly die the moment he walked into the deep water of either river or sea. He barely escaped with his life previously and he wasn't stupid enough to go again.
"Even if I become a first-stage martial artist, I must not go…" Lu Zhen thought, horror reflecting in his eyes with a burning desire for revenge.
Revenge was a sweet dish that could either result in your own destruction or make you more powerful. It could destroy a person as well as drive them to success if used well as a motivating force for progress.
Everything depends on your perspective and how you perceive things in your surroundings, as well as how they might affect you in the future. It all lies in the hands of the individual. That's what makes individuals unique in their own light.
For example, if one fails an exam, some may despair under societal pressure, possibly even giving up on life. However, others see it as a challenge, a goal, and work hard as if the exams were their sole enemy. They push themselves to achieve stunning results, surprising everyone.
In the end, the moral perspective of an individual in different situations is what defines how capable a person is and what they are shaped to be in the future.
…
Lu Zhen flipped through the pages and relatively easily found the method to increase his soul power. However, as he read the book, a frown marred his face.
In the end, Lu Zhen's expression was ugly, with wrinkles forming on his forehead.
The condition to strengthen his soul seemed relatively simple: he needed to be a Tier Five Mage, a step greater than a first-stage martial artist. However, this was an impossible condition for Lu Zhen at the moment. He didn't even know what came after the first-stage martial realm.
This was one of the reasons he spared Shang Luo, hoping that she could provide him with information about the surroundings, cultivation methods, and, most importantly, what came after the first-stage martial artist.
The other method mentioned in the book was to cultivate in a formation set up by a Tier Five Mage and be strengthened with the help of a fifth-stage martial artist. This, too, seemed even more impossible for Lu Zhen in his current state.
However, suddenly, a glint flashed across his eyes as he thought of a person's name: "Elv, she can help me." Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes, expressing his reluctance. He didn't really want to meet with this old monster.
Every time he was with her, Lu Zhen felt like she was gazing into all his secrets. His back would sweat just from talking to her. With every conversation led to Lu Zhen revealing something, and though she was helpful, he couldn't see through her.
Sometimes she acted like a child, and sometimes like an adult, while at other times, she seemed emotionless.
