There was a small canteen in the valley. The food was very sumptuous, and there was also wine. However, the wine was limited, and the food was unlimited.
Luo Kai had always been very fond of food and was very gluttonous. However, these days, his appetite had been decreasing bit by bit. Sometimes, he even felt nauseous. It was as if his body was reminding him that these ordinary foods were no longer beneficial to him. Instead, they were harmful.
Fatty, who was sitting opposite him, was bragging about how good his marksmanship was while eating, his saliva flying everywhere.
Luo Kai had a smile on his face, and he ate the food as if he was chewing wax. He seemed to be listening, but in fact, a strange ancient book in China flashed in his mind. There was a passage in the book: "The water-eater is good at swimming and can withstand cold. The earth-eater is unintentional but intelligent. The wood-eater is strong and brushes. The herbivore is good at walking but stupid. The leaf-eater has silk but is a moth. The carnivore is brave and tough.
The passage described the origin of all living things. Since ancient humans entered the era of collecting grains, wisdom began to evolve without limit. Modern science has shown that seeds such as nuts and grains are full of trace elements that promote brain development. Generation after generation, human wisdom became higher and higher, until they created a brilliant human civilization.
The elemental energy deeply affected all things in the world. The water-eater fish was good at swimming and was resistant to cold. The earth-eater earthworms had no heart but was very intelligent. The wood-eater bears were strong and bad-tempered. The herbivore deer was good at running but had no wisdom. The leaf-eater silkworms spun silk to make cocoons and finally became moths. The carnivore tigers, leopards, eagles and eagles were fierce and cruel. The grain-eater humans were smart but had a short lifespan.
Had he reached the stage of eating "Qi"?
This "Qi" represented external energy. The energy of the earth came from the stars, which could be called the essence of the sun and the moon. The sun and the moon belonged to Yin and Yang, and could be refined into the energy of heaven and earth. When the cultivator reached a certain level, he could only rely on the essence of the sun and the moon to maintain the operation of his life. When he did not need external energy, it meant that the cycle of his own small universe had been completely completed.
…
After an unknown period of time, all the people in the cafeteria had left, and the kitchen maids began to come out to clean up. Luo Kai was awakened. He apologetically smiled at the auntie in front of him, got up and left.
Luo Kai's smile was incredible. The cafeteria auntie stood there as if she had lost her soul. Since then, she had been guarding the cafeteria door all day long. However, Luo Kai never went to the cafeteria to eat again.
Late at night, Gan Zhi tossed and turned on his hard bed, unable to fall asleep. Luo Kai's words during the day kept echoing in his mind. Should he go or not?
Originally, he should have laughed it off. What ability could a junior who had just entered the school have? However, he always had an impulse in his heart …
He came from a humble background. When he was young, he was sold by his parents to a big family as a servant. Every day, he had to curry favor with those repulsive adults, even if it was the most lowly of things. Coincidentally, he came into contact with physical skills. This was the only chance to change his fate, and he seized it. From then on, he secretly learned during the day and practiced at night. He even stole the gene medicine to drink. Gradually, his talent was revealed. At a young age, he advanced into a physical warrior, and even passed the examination of Shang Jing University.
However, after entering the school, he found that his talent was nothing at all in the school. Moreover, the most important thing about physical skills was not talent, but resources. The children of the big families in his class almost drank low-level gene medicine like water, and soaked in expensive medicinal baths every day. No matter how hard he practiced, he could not be compared to them.
… …
Luo Kai stood in front of the hut with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the cold moonlight in the sky. Ever since he achieved resonance with the wood element energy, he would often fall into an indescribable feeling. Sometimes it was a breeze, sometimes it was the flow of water, sometimes it was the soil and gravel under his feet, and even the moonlight in front of his eyes. Everything in the world gave him a different feeling, as if they all had a life of their own …
"Luo Kai." On the ridge of the field, Gan Zhi stealthily revealed his figure and called out tentatively.
Luo Kai turned his head and said indifferently: "You've come."
Gan Zhi looked around the hut and found that Luo Kai was the only one there. Only then did he relax. If others knew that he came to seek guidance from a junior, it would be very embarrassing. He carefully asked: "Can you help me?"
Luo Kai pulled out the Severing Blade beside him and said indifferently: "I'll only teach you one move. Watch carefully."
After saying that, he held the blade with both hands and slowly slashed out. This slash was extremely simple, but it contained the principles of the world. Everything was simple, no matter what kind of technique it was, it was just for the sake of exerting more power.
Along with this slash, the air seemed to become heavy. An invisible pressure enveloped the surroundings. Gan Zhi's legs went soft and he almost knelt on the ground. Large beads of sweat continuously slid down his forehead. His body was stiff, and he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating. His hands and feet were not listening to him, and even his mind was in a state of chaos. Just looking at this slash made him feel as if his mind was about to shatter.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Gan Zhi swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice: "No."
Luo Kai patiently said: "My slash looks simple, but it exerts the human body's mechanics to the extreme. First, the foot grabs the ground, relying on the force of the earth to increase the forward momentum. Then, the leg muscles rush up, and the waist muscles as a foil to exert the torque through the chest to the arm. This slash uses all the strength in the body …"
Luo Kai explained in detail. He casually unbuttoned his long gown, revealing his smooth jade-like muscles. Those slightly undulating muscles were like silver waves, bringing a huge visual impact and extreme beauty.
He slashed out again, this time at a slower speed, allowing Gan Zhi to clearly see the assistance of every muscle. After he withdrew the blade, he repeated the action just now, but the speed was a little faster. In this way, he continued to slash out, increasing the speed a little each time. In the end, the slash formed a silver chain. The sound of rolling thunder resounded in the air. A dark cloud gathered and the moonlight dimmed.
Gan Zhi stood in place with a dull face. His mind and will had been deprived by Luo Kai's slash.
Luo Kai suppressed the urge to continue using his slash. He withdrew the blade and stood there. He faintly felt that if he continued, the mighty force that existed between heaven and earth since ancient times would no longer be like before. It would also be helpful.
"The path of martial arts is not only about one's own strength, but also about the spirit, Qi, and Spirit. Spirit is the spirit, Qi is the energy, and Spirit is the will. When the three are combined with one's own strength, one can break through one's own limitations and reach the highest realm of martial arts."
Luo Kai looked up at the stars in the sky. He had a feeling in his heart, so he left these words and returned to his room.
