Chapter 5 Capturing Qi and Blood
Song Zhen noticed that Song Shen was eating in an increasingly hurried manner every day.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Song Shen quickly finished the meal and said, "I'm in a hurry to cultivate."
"Still practicing?"
Song Zhen was stunned. "Wasn't it already over?"
Song Shen shook his head and said, "No, it's not over yet. Today is the last day."
I said…
Song Zhen hesitated, then said, "The money is gone, so don't blame yourself too much."
Song Shen gulped down the last mouthful of rice and swallowed the water, then asked softly, "If you thought it would be a waste, why did you give it to me?"
"If I don't give it to you, will you hate me for the rest of your life?"
Instead of answering, Song Zhen asked a question, her clear black and white eyes staring directly into Song Shen's eyes.
Song Shen remained silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Fool, just wait and see, I will succeed."
"..."
Song Zhen thought her younger brother had really gone mad. If it were going to work out, it would have happened long ago. Why wait until today?
"No matter what, don't take it too seriously, okay?"
Song Shen said earnestly, "Sister, I understand, you don't need to worry about me."
Song Zhen nodded solemnly before leaving.
Song Shen went to the training courtyard alone.
The courtyard was almost deserted. As soon as Song Shen entered the courtyard, Song Chengzong walked in behind him. When he saw Song Shen, he was clearly taken aback.
"Ah Shen, are you really here?"
In fact, Song Chengzong had already given up. Ever since Liu Zhan and Lu Shan were taken away, those young people stopped coming. The reason was simple: although the Tonifying Soup was a good thing, Zhang Long would be watching them, and they could only get it after a day of training.
As a result, those who gave up all went away.
Those who had been clinging to naive fantasies eventually had no choice but to give up as the final day arrived.
Good fortune did not ultimately befall them.
"It's all fate," Song Chengzong lamented.
However, the guy who had been inseparable from him since childhood kept clinging to that lifeline, which initially worried him greatly. But as time went on, an inexplicable sense of disdain gradually emerged.
What good is being unwilling to admit defeat? It's all the more pathetic to fail after giving everything. On the contrary, giving up early, like he did, seems more composed and wise.
If he doesn't see Song Shen give up now, he will truly die with regrets.
Song Shen chuckled, "It's not over yet, why don't you come?"
"..."
How awful! Just give up already!!!
Such naive persistence infuriated Emperor Chengzong of Song.
Song Shen acted as if this person didn't exist, completely immersing himself in cultivation.
【Hun Yuan Zhuang (Da Cheng 98%)】
……
"Only 2% away from perfection."
Song Shen was meticulously carrying out his final cultivation.
He is not panicked at all, but calm and confident, because he has a complete understanding of this stance training and is just waiting for the last bit of experience to fill in.
The sun was beginning to set in the west.
Zhang Long arrived late; he wasn't there to teach martial arts, but to close the door.
When Zhang Long got closer and saw that there were still people inside, he was stunned.
"Is there anyone else?"
Zhang Long was somewhat astonished. Yes, it must be that kid. If there is anyone still cultivating, it must be that kid.
Once inside, I realized there were two people, one watching and one practicing.
"You two brats..."
Zhang Long was speechless. He slowly stopped and was stunned when he saw Song Shen's actions.
"This kid... he's got a real talent for this."
Even if a young man from humble beginnings is exceptionally talented, his stance training will still be full of meaningless movements and minor mistakes.
No one is perfect.
This will not affect the cultivation of Qi and blood.
But Song Shen is different.
Even with Zhang Long's most critical eye and the strictest standards, he would find that Song Shen's stance training was flawless.
Is that even possible?
Zhang Long was shocked. Now, in the field of Hunyuan Zhuang, which he had personally taught, he was already qualified to become Song Shen's disciple.
Song Chengzong looked at Zhang Long, "Master Zhang, can A-Shen do it?"
Zhang Long gave the boy a cold look but didn't say anything.
The autumn wind is howling.
Song Shen completed the last movement of the stance training.
【Hun Yuan Zhuang (Complete)】
……
As the last bit of experience was filled, the word "Perfect" appeared next to the stance training on the panel.
[Path Fruit: None]
……
"Why is it still not working???"
Song Shen was speechless. How exactly did he obtain this Dao Fruit?
Never mind, let's celebrate the success we've achieved first.
Now, that warm current surging in his blood, when he threw the last punch, Song Shen clearly felt a burst of sound from the tip of his fist.
A single sound is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!
Liu Zhan's strength increased greatly simply by sensing the flow of qi and blood; Song Shen's standing meditation was now perfected, so they were naturally incomparable!
"When the breath and blood are perfectly in harmony, the power of the whole body is twisted into one, and that is the effect."
Zhang Long said in a deep voice, "Good lad, I never thought you'd make it this far!"
There was also some respect in his voice.
It's not easy for one person to persevere like this, and he knew how difficult it was for Song Shen.
He had no family left, only an older sister who was a servant, and they relied on each other. He wasn't particularly talented and never received any attention or resources from the beginning.
Under these circumstances, he persevered until the last day and successfully reached the other side of the chasm.
Crossing this chasm meant that Song Shen was no longer a slave.
Song Shen turned his head to look at him, "It still comes down to Master Zhang's tutelage!"
Zhang Long laughed heartily, "Training? I haven't taught you anything. I, Zhang Long, am shameless and wouldn't take credit for something like that! This credit belongs solely to you. Be sure to thank yourself for your persistence and perseverance!"
Song Shen smiled, a genuine smile.
But he wanted to say no, because another person was the one most deserving of gratitude.
On the other side, Song Chengzong felt a strong sense of unreality. Could this really have happened? How could this be? How could such a thing have happened?
He couldn't help but think of another possibility: what if he, like Song Shen, persisted relentlessly and never gave up...?
He himself actually had more resources than Song Shen, because he had been saving money since he entered the Cao family. Moreover, if he went home and begged his father and elder brother, he might be able to get some financial assistance, since his elder brother had been doing quite well over the years.
But he dared not go all in, because if he lost, he would lose everything.
however,
When he saw someone else go all in and succeed, the pain in his heart was indescribable.
What's more, this person is his friend, making the pain all the more intense. If he had supported his friend back then, wouldn't he have gained more than if he had supported Liu Zhan? This was almost a no-brainer, because he knew his friend deeply.
But from now on, the two are no longer on the same level, nor are they the close friends they used to be.
He felt utterly hopeless.
"Today is your last day here. Someone will come looking for you tomorrow."
Zhang Long said this with a smile.
Song Shen clasped his hands in a fist salute.
it is more than words.
"Ah Shen..."
Song Shen smiled calmly at his younger brother and said to Zhang Long, "Master Zhang, I'll go pack up."
"Okay, go ahead."
