Chapter 73 Adjusting Mindset.
On the eve of the final, the night was like an endless, heavy black velvet curtain, completely enveloping the world. Jun Luochuan sat alone in his room, the surrounding silence so profound that time seemed to have frozen, and he could almost hear the rapid, drum-like pounding of his own heart echoing in the empty space.
He knew very well that facing an opponent as powerful as Mo Yunxuan, whose mindset was as firm as a rock, he would be like a ship without a helmsman in a raging storm, and would capsize at any moment. However, the burning expectations of his sect members and the thunderous reputation of his opponent weighed heavily on his heart like massive boulders, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"I must not be easily crushed by this mountain of pressure. I must stand tall and proud in the wind like a green bamboo!" Jun Luochuan said to himself. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the courage in the world into his chest, trying to calm his restless heart, which was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He closed his eyes, recalling the arduous journey he had taken, filled with thorns and obstacles. Those nightmarish setbacks and the joy of overcoming difficulties, like spring flowers blooming, appeared clearly in his mind like scenes from a movie.
“Every time I’ve been in trouble, I’ve been like a phoenix rising from the ashes, stubbornly pulling through. This time will be no exception!” Jun Luochuan’s fists clenched unconsciously, as if he were holding all his determination in his hands, cheering himself on. His voice was like a roar from the depths of his soul.
Jun Luochuan stood up and paced slowly around the room, his steps seemingly measuring the scales of fate. Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a long and solitary shadow on him like a veil, making him appear like a warrior exploring the darkness.
"I cannot let fear and anxiety creep into my heart like weeds. I must firmly believe in my strength, just as I firmly believe that the sun will rise at dawn!" he murmured softly, his voice gentle yet firm, as if he were waging a life-or-death battle against the ferocious monster of fear deep within his heart.
At this moment, Su Yao, like a light butterfly, quietly pushed open the door. Seeing Jun Luochuan's solemn expression, as heavy as a dark cloud, her heart ached suddenly, as if pierced by a sharp thorn.
"Jun Luochuan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter the outcome, in my heart, you will always be the most dazzling star." Su Yao's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze gently caressing Jun Luochuan's heart.
Jun Luochuan glanced at her and smiled slightly, a smile like sunlight breaking through the dark clouds. "I know, I will try my best to adjust my mindset and not let you down."
Su Yao stepped forward and took Jun Luochuan's slightly rough hand in her soft, delicate one. "I believe in you. You will definitely be able to perform at your best on the field and shine the brightest."
As Jun Luochuan felt the warmth from Su Yao's palm, the pressure in his heart seemed to lessen, like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.
"Yes, I will do my best." Jun Luochuan nodded heavily, his eyes gradually becoming firm as iron, as if they could pierce through all the fog.
He sat down again and began meditating, trying to calm his mind like a still lake, where even a gentle breeze wouldn't cause a ripple.
However, his thoughts, like mischievous sprites, would involuntarily drift towards the upcoming final, full of unknowns and challenges. He had to pull them back again and again, like taming a wild horse.
"Concentrate your mind, discard distractions, and keep your heart clear; even if the sky falls, you will not be alarmed!" Jun Luochuan repeatedly told himself this in his heart, the voice sounding like an ancient incantation, full of power.
Time passed quietly, and Jun Luochuan's breathing gradually became steady and long, like a soothing melody. His state of mind also slowly became peaceful and tranquil, like the deep night sky.
"I am fully prepared to face any challenge, no matter how fierce!" Jun Luochuan opened his eyes, his gaze shining with confidence, a light as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.
He stood up, forcefully pushed open the window, and gazed at the vast, boundless starry sky outside. His heart was instantly filled with unwavering courage, as if he could conquer the entire universe...
