Chapter 232

: 232?Lone Journey?Part three?
Since Wang Shuli wanted them to leave, Yuan Li and company had no reason to stay and left unwillingly.
In the past, they would have lost their temper. But their impressions of Lu Shu was that of a Class D expert and 4 beginner Class Es may not be able to beat him.
The reason was simple. In the heavenly network, Class D and above practitioners were imparted the true art of Dao. They were also given swords to be kept within their body as a training for creating their own soul sword. Furthermore, they all carried two magic spells along.
If Lu Shu was to fight them seriously, they would definitely lose.
Previously, Lu Shu asked Old man Li about the average quality of the swords distributed by the heavenly network. Wouldn’t using these average swords for the training of the soul sword result in a normal soul sword?
The old man explained: This is solely for the initial creation. After the general shape of the sword is created, other qualities can be added and the sword can be further refined.
The old man’s training method revolved around manifesting one’s will into the form of a sword.
On the other hand, the heavenly network’s method was similar to sword-eating. After eating one sword to create the basic form, other things could then be eaten to achieve a continuous progress.
The old man was rather solemn when explaining this. Shi Xuejin was indeed a genius that could achieve the unthinkable.
Lu Shu was still puzzled. How did this person achieve so much when he can’t even train? The old man never explained this as though he didn’t understand it himself.
Li Xianyi sighed,
How do you reckon this training regime was first discovered? How did the first practitioner know that this method would work?

Lu Shu didn’t understand, the first practitioner… did not have any reliable training method.
The first practitioner would have to face criticisms from everyone and keep moving forward in such an unfavorable situation. Regardless of storms or rain, he would have to persevere to complete the road of training.
Li Xianyi added,
Shi Xuejin is extremely talented. The current world emphasizes on aptitude and it is impossible to succeed without any. But this man has no aptitude and managed to forge an alternative method for those like him. In fact, there are many unthreaded roads waiting to be discovered in this world.

Speaking till this point, Li Xianyi paused,
Lu Xu once said something like this…

Lu Shu nodded,
But how does he continue on this path. Isn’t he unable to train?


He wishes to understand all the three teachings and using them to explore the foundation of this world. Shi Xuejin once said that he would make use of what he understood about this world’s foundation,
Li Xianyi recalled,
He sounded very confident when he said this as if this was how the world should be.

But it was a lonely road ahead, Lu Shu pondered. Every time you take a step, the footprints around will become lesser.
As you enter the mountains, fields, rivers, snow ridges, and forests, the people traveling with you will start to decrease until you’re all alone.
Looking back, there might not be many co-travelers but many followers.
When humankind took its first step onto the moon, when Armstrong first stepped onto the moon, no one else had ever done it.
Lu Shu suddenly felt that Shi Xuejin was like a sharp blade piercing into his mind and an existence he can no longer ignore.
Regardless of whether he would succeed, Lu Shu admired his courage.
But Lu Shu wasn’t destined to do something so brave. His objective was to light up his celestial map.
Wang Shuli smiled at Lu Shu,
How did your conflict with them happen?


Oh, it happened on the train. They were in my bunk playing cards and I told them to get up but they refused… Just this stupid thing,
Lu Shu replied frankly.
Wang Shuli nodded,
What’s the big deal about daoyuan class? Does it mean they can occupy other people’s space?

Lu Shu was rather embarrassed… After all, he was a daoyuan student himself…

But it’s alright,
Wang Shuli added,
Let me ask those daoyuan students in my school and see if they have any tips for you. Maybe you can enter the daoyuan class too.

To Wang Shuli, Lu Shu seemed to be interested in joining the daoyuan class but was unable to and so she wanted to help.
Lu Shu thought that Wang Shuli was rather generous and there wasn’t a need for him to reject her good intentions. After this trip, everyone would go their own ways and probably never meet again. So why treat it so seriously?
Although Lu Shu didn’t need tips to enter daoyuan class since he was already in it, it was impossible to explain himself at this point…
Speaking of which, the heavenly network treated aptitudes seriously and if not for Li Xianyi’s help in swapping the test-tube, he would still be troubled.
Wang Shuli tilted her head over Lu Shu’s shoulders as her hair brushed past his ear,
Lu Shu, do you know how to sing?


I don’t
Lu Shu shook his head.

He knows,
Lu Xiaoyu insisted,
I heard him singing Twinkle Stars!

Lu Shu was shocked, is the sound insulation of the walls at home so poor?! Lu Shu rebutted,
I never! You must have heard wrong!


Haha,
Lu Xiaoyu laughed sarcastically. She had questioned Lu Shu many times regarding this but he never admitted!
At this moment, Yuan Liangtuo walked out of the rapeseed field while holding up his pants and bumped into Li Dian.
Yuan Liangtuo was taken aback and checked the direction Li Dian was facing. Wasn’t that the place where I took a dump? Could this scum be following me?!
Fck! Yuan Liangtuo’s felt shivers down his spine!
Li Dian was being cautious of Yuan Liangtuo using his head-twisting gourd but he never did. In fact, Lu Shu had planned to use it but going to the rapeseed field would be too obvious.
Li Dian smiled,
Seems like you’re planning to reconcile.

Yuan Liangtuo was puzzled. This scum was totally harassing him and now saying something that didn’t make sense, he scolded,
Reconcile my ss!


From Yuan Liangtuo’s distress, +299!


From Li Dian’s distress, +499!
