After witnessing all this.

Xu Ying realized how narrow his own horizons had been.

Chen Sheng, whom he once worshipped and considered to be an unparalleled strong person, what did he really amount to in the eyes of these strong people in Kyoto?

In the past month.

Xu Ying and Zhou Li had actually had several opportunities to meet Chen Sheng.

But they did not choose to take the initiative to meet.

It includes the times when Chen Sheng came to Yihe Gate previously.

Zhou Li was worried about disturbing Chen Sheng’s important matters.

Xu Ying… After seeing the wider world, deep down in his heart, he somewhat looked down on Chen Sheng.

Even though in his heart, Chen Sheng was once unattainable.

But that was just Rabbit Fist Sect’s Xu Ying.

Just Fuhai Province’s Xu Ying.

Just the past him with his inner thoughts.

Not the present Xu Ying who has seen the vast world.

Seeing Chen Sheng,

Would remind him of the weak self he once was.

The self that was treated as a forbiddance.

Therefore,

Xu Ying deliberately resisted meeting him.

However,

What Xu Ying didn’t expect was,

More than a month later,

When he saw Chen Sheng again,

The other party had become so powerful.

Standing in front of Chen Sheng,

That terrifying momentum made him feel frightened.

Moreover,

He heard vaguely,

The reason why the Kyoto incident could be resolved,

Was because of Chen Sheng’s intervention.

Those top martial artists whom he admires,

Those who he regarded as gods,

The things they couldn’t do,

Were easily done by Chen Sheng.

That’s why,

Facing Chen Sheng, Xu Ying always seemed somewhat weak.

He was like someone who had done something guilty, fearing that Chen Sheng might find out his past thoughts.

The other party’s world,

Had long been beyond his reach.

If he displeased the other party,

Just a casual remark could…

Xu Ying’s thoughts raced in his mind.

But at this moment,

“Focus!”

The scolding voice beside him instantly pulled him back from his thoughts.

The one who spoke was none other than Zhou Li.

“Practice your skills well.”

“No matter how capable Chen Sheng is, he has his own world and things he needs to do.”

“He’s too lazy to bother with you.”

“Don’t you know the current situation?”

“Fretting over those trivial things every day, you won’t even know how you died when the time comes.”

Zhou Li took Xu Ying as his disciple and taught him Eagle Body Sect’s cultivation techniques.

How could he not know the psychological changes of his own disciple?

At this moment, speaking out was a reminder to Xu Ying.

Unfortunately, though.

Even though he barely collected his thoughts,

Xu Ying still looked somewhat absent-minded.

Just like in the past month.

Seeing this,

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhou Li’s eyes deep down.

“Practice well, and don’t let me see you slacking off.”

When he spoke again,

The tone was no longer as harsh as before.

The old man turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

He prepared to go to the small wooden house not far away.

That was where the two of them temporarily stayed.

Raising his head,

He looked at the storm vortex on top of the main peak mountain.

Zhou Li let out a silent sigh.

He still remembered the scene when he first met Chen Sheng.

Following Shen Ziming’s guidance, he wanted to inherit the Eagle’s Breath.

Later, under some negotiations,

Not only did he get the Breathing Technique,

Chen Sheng also stayed at the grocery store he opened.

Thinking about it,

Zhou Li couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

If he had to say,

Those days with Chen Sheng were undoubtedly among the few happy times in his life.

The elder stewing medicine and the youngster practicing martial arts.

Out of ten conversations, nine of them were just bickering.

About Chen Sheng,

Others were just amazed by his terrifying strength,

Astonished by the speed of his improvement,

Only Zhou Li,

Recalling carefully,

It seems from the moment he met Chen Sheng until now,

This youngster had always been practicing martial arts like crazy,

It was as if there was always something behind him, forcing him to become stronger without stopping for a moment.

This was inevitably… a bit too tiring.

But Zhou Li also knew,

Even if he tried to persuade Chen Sheng to relax a bit, he would be brushed off casually by him.

Thinking of this,

The old man collected his thoughts,

Turned his head and looked at his disciple.

“I’ll cook in a while, you watch the mountain up there. If it gets quiet, call Chen Sheng down to eat with us.”

Hearing this,

Xu Ying’s face immediately fell.

“Master, you’ve called him down several times already, but Brother Chen has never come down.”

To be honest,

Xu Ying really didn’t want to face Chen Sheng.

“Just go when I say go, stop with all the nonsense!”

“I’ve noticed that you, my young disciple, really are-”

As he said this,

Zhou Li seemed ready to roll up his sleeves and “spar” with Xu Ying again.

Seeing this,

Xu Ying could only shrink his head, reluctantly replying,

“Alright, alright.”

It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat Zhou Li,

On the contrary,

Zhou Li’s body wasn’t much stronger than ordinary people.

The so-called “sparring”

was actually him getting one-sidedly beaten up.

Even if it didn’t hurt, it was a unique kind of torment to his mentality.

Seeing Xu Ying agree,

Zhou Li snorted coldly and returned to the wooden house to cook.

At the mountaintop,

Chen Sheng, who was seated at the center of the vortex, slowly opened his eyes.

The pupils that were supposed to be pure white were now swirling with strange colors,

just like that Seven Demon Mental Method’s heritage stone.

After a short adjustment,

Chen Sheng had begun cultivating the Seven Demon Mental Method, attempting to pass the entry stage of the technique.

As he had anticipated,

Under the pressure of the forty points of spiritual power, the activation desires were far less solid than before.

Chen Sheng tried a little bit,

and there were signs of loosening,

even to the point of… jostling for position.

Most of the desire energy seemed in a hurry to infiltrate Chen Sheng’s body, as if trying to possess it.

However,

Chen Sheng merely willed it, and easily suppressed them.

He concentrated his attention on the Sloth Desire,

the only one that had been lying motionless in Chen Sheng’s mind from the very beginning.

Moreover,

It was the easiest and most convenient desire to perceive among all the desires.

Furthermore,

The power of Sloth could continuously increase body strength while remaining still,

mosaicactly matching Chen Sheng’s current cultivation method, so that his basic attributes could grow more quickly.

Both emotionally and logically,

It was the most suitable desire for Chen Sheng to use to enter the Seven Demon Mental Method.

With this thought,

Chen Sheng didn’t delay further.

He quickly released the stored desires within his body,

The invisible force quickly entered his consciousness.

Just as it sounded with a plop,

Chen Sheng directly lay down on the ground, his expression extremely lazy.

The thought of laziness filled his mind, urging him to abandon cultivation, get some sleep, or just lie down and die.

Entering the state of Sloth,

Chen Sheng closed his eyes and immersed himself in his consciousness.

All his spiritual power was mobilized, suppressing the other desires while pulling out the activated Sloth from deep within his consciousness.

“Ah-”

“Why…why are you pulling me out?”

“Actually, you could let someone else come.”

“Either way, one day you will die, and so will I.”

“For you, death can come from being beaten or losing your consciousness to other desires.”

“As for me…no matter what.”

Desire filled his mind, seeping into his body one step ahead of his emotions.

It blended with Chen Sheng’s previously released emotions, causing the desires to increase several times over in an instant.

Fortunately,

Chen Sheng hadn’t been idle during the previous two days,

He was already familiar with how to control the release of emotions and how to maintain his cultivation during laziness.

Now that his consciousness was being affected…

Although it made it harder for him to mobilize his spiritual power,

He wasn’t on the verge of lying down and dying like he had been the first time.

The storm didn’t disappear, and the thunder continued to roar,

This was the best proof.

Just like that,

Chen Sheng slowly guided the power of Sloth, trying to let it seep into his body.

Time trickled by,

Two hours passed,

It wasn’t until the desires had completely filled his mind,

That controlling his spiritual power became extremely difficult,

Chen Sheng barely managed to let the power of desire infiltrate his body.

However, at that moment,

Something terrifying occurred,

Just as Sloth infiltrated his body,

Chen Sheng’s body tissues were also affected.

His heart’s beating,

His blood’s circulation,

All the organs and tissues,

Even to the very basic nerves, they all fell into a state of sloth,

Everything in them came to a complete halt,

Chen Sheng’s eyes snapped open,

In his pure white eyeballs, it seemed that he had lost even the most basic sparkle,

Everything inside Chen Sheng’s body went silent,

Only his consciousness still existed.

But due to the influence of Sloth, he was now too lazy to stop the process,

Once the process began, it couldn’t be stopped,

This was the first time Chen Sheng had experienced the repeatedly emphasized aspect of the Seven Demon Mental Method.
