Chapter 178 Improvement of Strength.
The fierce battle between Jun Luochuan and Lin Yu had just ended, the lingering smoke of battle filling the air like a thin veil, shrouding the entire space in a hazy, indistinct mist. The aftershocks of the battle rippled across the land, recounting the breathtaking intensity of the fight. Jun Luochuan was breathing heavily, his breath rapid and labored, like a worn-out bellows struggling to operate. Beads of sweat, like broken pearls, streamed down his resolute face, yet his eyes still burned with an indomitable flame, fiery and unwavering.
Su Yao rushed to Jun Luochuan's side like a gentle breeze, her eyes filled with concern and worry, her gaze like a clear lake reflecting her inner anxiety. "Jun Luochuan, how are you?" Her voice trembled, like a leaf swaying in the wind.
Jun Luochuan took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently as if a bellows were being pulled hard. He forced himself to stand upright, like a pine tree standing firm in a storm, and said in an unwavering tone, "I'm fine, but this Lin Yu is truly formidable, like an insurmountable mountain. If we want to defeat him in this life-or-death struggle, we must use this precious remaining time to rack our brains and do everything we can to improve our strength, like a phoenix rising from the ashes."
Su Yao nodded vigorously, her movements decisive and resolute, her eyes revealing a determination like lightning piercing the night. "Yes, I'll listen to you. I'll face any danger, no matter what."
Jun Luochuan's gaze swept across the surroundings like lightning, finally locking onto a relatively quiet corner with a rich spiritual energy. That corner seemed like a hidden sanctuary amidst the hustle and bustle, radiating a mysterious allure. "Let's start here. We must begin our cultivation immediately; time waits for no one." His voice was deep and powerful, like the booming of war drums.
The two sat down on the ground. Jun Luochuan slowly closed his eyes, trying to calm his heart, which was as turbulent as a stormy sea. He silently recalled the various spells he had learned, which twinkled in his mind like brilliant stars.
“Every spell has its unique trajectory and source of power, much like winding rivers, each flowing its own course. If they can be skillfully combined, like rivers converging into a vast ocean, they will surely unleash earth-shattering power.” Jun Luochuan pondered to himself, his thoughts like fluttering willow catkins, complex yet orderly.
Su Yao sat to the side, her brows furrowed like a knotted rope. She tried her best to do as Jun Luochuan said, but her heart was like a wild horse that had broken free, unable to calm down completely.
"Oh dear, why am I so stupid? I can never concentrate." Su Yao muttered in frustration, her voice like the mournful cry of a lost bird.
Jun Luochuan opened his eyes, his gaze as warm as the sun. He looked at her and encouraged her, "Don't rush. The path of cultivation is like a long journey, never something that can be accomplished overnight. Take it slow. As long as you persevere, you will eventually reach the other side of victory."
Su Yao took a deep breath, like a sailboat that had been billowing in the wind, and readjusted her state.
Jun Luochuan closed his eyes again, focusing entirely on sensing the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy, like playful and agile sprites, hesitantly and slowly entered his body under his guidance. But the process was not smooth; each wisp of spiritual energy required immense effort and concentration, as if he were taming a herd of unruly wild horses.
"Hold on, you must hold on." Jun Luochuan gritted his teeth, encouraging himself in his heart, his voice like a battle song from the depths of his soul.
Time flowed silently, like a gentle stream, passing by second by second. Jun Luochuan's body was like a furnace being forged in the heat of summer, bearing immense pressure. Every inch of his skin trembled, every cell screamed. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, the sweat pouring down like a torrential downpour, yet he remained motionless, like a meditating monk, steadfastly maintaining his inner peace.
On Su Yao's side, although progress was as slow as a snail's crawl, she never gave up. Her tenacious will was like a burning flame as she tried again and again to guide spiritual energy into her body.
Just as Jun Luochuan was about to be crushed by the immense pressure, reaching the limits of his body and mind, he suddenly felt a strange power slowly awakening within him. That power was like a long-dormant dragon beginning to stretch its body.
"Could this be the opportunity for a breakthrough?" Jun Luochuan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness. But he quickly calmed down, knowing that he could not be careless at this moment, and carefully guided this power as if he were protecting a newborn baby.
This power was initially very weak, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment. But under Jun Luochuan's careful guidance, it gradually grew stronger, like a raging fire that could not be stopped. It traveled through Jun Luochuan's meridians, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling wherever it went, like a spring breeze sweeping across the frozen earth.
"Great, keep going!" Jun Luochuan shouted in his heart, the sound like a bugle call to charge, encouraging him to forge ahead.
After a period of arduous and painstaking effort, Jun Luochuan finally succeeded in guiding this power to circulate throughout his body for one full cycle. At that moment, he felt as if he had been reborn, and could clearly feel that his strength had significantly improved, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, radiating brilliant light.
"Haha, I did it!" Jun Luochuan opened his eyes excitedly, his eyes filled with joy and pride, as if he were a king who had conquered the world.
Hearing his laughter, Su Yao opened her eyes, a joyful smile spreading across her face, a smile as radiant and captivating as a blooming flower. "Jun Luochuan, you're amazing! I need to work harder too."
Jun Luochuan stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt an unprecedented surge of strength coursing through his body, as if he could lift the entire world. "Su Yao, don't be discouraged, you can definitely do it."
Su Yao nodded heavily, closed her eyes again, and continued cultivating, her expression firm and focused.
Just then, a strange light streaked across the sky, dazzling and brilliant, like a meteor falling to earth. Immediately afterwards, an immense pressure descended like a mountain crashing down...
