<strong>Capítulo 1240: Chapter 1252</strong>
Yuwen Kangli sat on the ground, slowly closing his eyes. He didn’t know what awaited him, but he knew what path he had to take in the future.
After learning he would be an Ancient Martial Artist, he specifically searched online, but found nothing. Finally, he had no choice but to brace himself and ask Lin Zhao to tell him what their life would be like after stepping into Ancient Martial Arts.
Fortunately, Lin Zhao didn’t mind past issues and shared his experiences with Yuwen Kangli, immediately filling Yuwen Kangli with fantasies of the future.
He actually started to feel excited and expectant. He felt that his current life was too mundane, with no motivation at all. But after listening to Lin Zhao, even though life would continue as usual, it would now be filled with anticipation and many challenges.
Moreover, he had always envied those characters in martial arts dramas on TV, who could fight and endure.
Chu Ge watched his shoulders tremble incessantly. He raised his hand to press on them, then asked, “Yuwen Kangli, are you nervous now?”
Yuwen Kangli opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, “No, I’m not nervous, I just…”
He was just excited.
Chu Ge raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying, “Rx, don’t be nervous or excited. Just maintain your usual mindset.”
Yuwen Kangli nodded but couldn’t suppress his excitement. He couldn’t help but be excited. The thought of soon walking the path of cultivation like Chu Ge, and bing the first in the Six Major Families to cultivate, made him excited and restless.
At this moment, he even imagined what he would do after learning martial arts – to strengthen himself and show those who looked down on him that he wasn’t a worthless person!
Yuwen Kangli took a deep breath, slowly closing his eyes again, waiting in Jingjin.
Chu Ge lowered his head to look at Yuwen Kangli, then slowly raised his hand to channel a wisp of True Qi into Yuwen Kangli’s body.
Yuwen Kangli felt a pin-prick sensation at the top of his head. He muffled a groan, pressed his lips together, and felt a stream of energy flowing ceaselessly within him, spreading an indescribable sensation.
He couldn’t articte what it felt like, but slowly realized his body felt different. Yuwen Kangli wanted to ask if it had already begun, but when he tried to speak, he found he couldn’t open his mouth at all.
It even felt as if his body was bound, unable to move.
What’s going on?
As Yuwen Kangli hesitated, he suddenly felt the energy inside him be more domineering, crashing around within, bringing a faint sense of pain. Gradually, as it crashed about, he felt the energy inside his body bing uncontroble.
Yuwen Kangli furrowed his brow, and the pain in his body became increasingly evident.
He clenched his teeth, unable to cry out. He was the elder brother, with two younger ones watching; he had to set a good example.
He didn’t know how long he held out, but eventually, he couldn’t help but cry out. The pain persisted without cessation.
After crying out, Yuwen Kangli fell unconscious, his clothes soaked in sweat, his face wrought with pain.
Seeing Yuwen Kangli like this, Third and Lao Si were both stunned.
They exchanged a look, then hurried forward to help Yuwen Kangli from the ground, only to be stopped by Chu Ge.
“Leave him be,” Chu Ge said. “He’s fine, and he’ll wake up shortly.”
Third swallowed nervously, asking worriedly, “Mr. Chu, what happened to our eldest brother? Did he faint from the pain?”
Chu Ge nced at him, nodded slightly, and said, “It’s a necessary process.”
For a person’s governor and conception vessels to be opened, one must endure the apanying pain.
Third pursed his lips, resistance flickering in his gaze.
Seeing his hesitance, Chu Ge asked, “After seeing your brother like this, do you still want to learn Ancient Martial Arts?”
Third didn’t respond to Chu Ge’s question. Did he want to learn? Initially, yes. But he had always lived a pampered life, never having faced any hardships, let alone physical pain. Seeing Yuwen Kangli’s pained expression, fear crept into his heart.
“If you’re afraid, you can quit,” Chu Ge said.
During their cultivation, if someone hesitated, Chu Ge generally didn’t want to bring them into the fold of Ancient Martial Arts. Such peoplecked firm resolve; even if brought in, they would likely give up halfway. In the world of martial arts, a love for Ancient Martial Arts itself was their daily motivation. Those who quit halfway were particrly looked down upon and even ostracized.
“Think it over carefully. Since you’re hesitating, you can’t continue,” Chu Ge told Third. After speaking, he turned to Lao Si and asked, “What about you? Are you ready?”
Lao Si appeared simple and honest. Although his eyescked Third’s fear and hesitation, they held an unfathomable emotion that Chu Ge couldn’t decipher.
Lao Si remained silent for a while, then looked up at Chu Ge and gave a firm nod, saying, “I’ve decided. Let’s start.”
Seeing the determined look in Lao Si’s eyes, Chu Ge smiled slightly.
Lao Si’s experience was not much different from Yuwen Kangli’s. In the critical moment, he too couldn’t help but unleash a roar, nearly straining his voice. Although he didn’t faint like Yuwen Kangli, hey on the ground in pain, not daring to move.
Chu Ge quietly observed Lao Si, then nced at Yuwen Kangli. By now, Yuwen Kangli had awakened, lying on the ground with a dazed expression, lost in thought.
“Yuwen Kangli, are you alright?” Chu Ge curiously asked as he approached.
Yuwen Kangli gently shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, “I’m fine. I’m just perceiving, perceiving my body.”
He clearly felt his body was much lighter than before, and even sensed a warm current flowing within.
After a while, his eyes moved slightly, curiously looking at Lao Si and asking, “Lao Si, how do you feel now?”
Lao Si nodded, “Feels like a newfound freedom in my body!”
Yuwen Kangli chuckled at Lao Si and said, “How about this? Let’s go downstairs for some sparringter?”
Lao Si looked at Yuwen Kangli speechlessly, “Big brother, there are too many reporters outside.”
