Chapter 94 - Training Space
Chapter 94 - Training Space
Unedited cough cough
Lin Yi felt a little awkward upon hearing Jiao Yazis words- he was most likely conscious. A guy in a dream wouldnt be asking himself if he were dreaming, at the very least.
So where am I right now? Lin Yi asked curiously, convinced that he wasnt dreaming. Where was he? He was lying in Mengyaos villa one second, and transported to this weird place the next!
This is the fourth dimensional space within the jade. Yazi said with a hmph. I really cant imagine how someone can be as stupid as you are- Youve finally come! Ive been waiting in this jade for many years
What? Im in the jade? Lin Yi wasnt a coward or anything, but he couldnt help but drop his jaw in surprise upon hearing the words.
That is correct. Yazi frowned. This guys the fated one..? This is a little too much
Then how did I get in? Lin Yi asked as an important issue crossed his mind. Didnt this Yazi guy say that hed been waiting in the jade for years?
Naturally, you gained entry right after falling asleep. Yazi answered faintly.
Hah?! Lin Yi blinked in disbelief. That simple?
How complicated did you expect it to be? Yazi rolled his eyes at Lin Yi. Im absolutely speechless- so many years, and youve never, ever fallen asleep You You You Youre really amazing. Absolutely amazing, as my mentor would say.
Lin Yi didnt know what to say Hed found a scroll for the Art of Dragon Mastery the same time hed found the jade, so naturally he followed the instructions on the scroll and replaced sleep with training Years just passed like that.
I Ive been practicing the Art of Dragon Mastery Lin Yi explained embarrassedly as he scratched at his head.
I know that, I can see you from the jade. Yazi hmphed coldly in response. Honestly, I must say- its quite impressive for you to train for nothing all these years. Really amazing kid you are, what commitment.
Ugh For nothing..? Thats a bit much, dont you think Im even at the late phase of the first stage Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
Oh? It was Yazis turn to be surprised. He shot an arm out and Lin Yi dodged in response, only for it to be fruitless- the man tapped his hand on Lin Yis arm much faster than Lin Yi couldve imagined. The guy looked like he freaking teleported! What confused Lin Yi, however, was the fact that he felt nothing from the movement- the guy was like an illusion or something.
Youve managed to get to the late phase even under those circumstances? I must say, you have talent. Yazi said, not expecting this.
Haha A soft grin crept across Lin Yis lips as Yazi praised him. The guy kept calling him stupid since the moment they met, even mocking him by saying how amazing Lin Yi was The praise this time around sounded genuine, and it felt nice.
But what a pity! Yazi shook his head. You wouldve been able to get to this point after just a few months, but you used up a long ten years! A waste of both talent and youth
Ugh Lin Yi didnt expect another blow from Yazi like that, and didnt know what to say. Yazis words got him thinking, however- was he destined to never make the breakthrough? He couldnt help but feel sad at the notion. Are you saying that I cant break through the first stage and into the second?
Break through the first stage? Is your goal just about getting to the second stage? Yazi asked, stunned- he never expected the guy to have such low expectations.
Are you saying theres more stages I can reach? Lin Yi asked in turn, stunned as well.
If only youd entered the jade ten years ago, working hard without talking big Youd have broken through the third stage already!! Yazi said, his eyes full of pity as he looked at Lin Yi. Though, its not difficult for you to achieve that at your age, except theres only one problem: it gets harder the older you get!
...... Lin Yi was stricken with grief and regret- he felt like crying! Who wouldve thought that his years of hard work would turn out like this? Hed started training with all his heart without delay the night after finding the Art of Dragon Mastery, and look where that got him?! It was a complete fuck up! Hed have jumped in bed for a good sleep from the very start if he knew about this!!
The old man sighed. Dont look so down. You wont be able to be an outer space walker like my mentor, but its really good too if you manage to break through the third stage. Yazi said as he looked at the disappointed Lin Yi, intending to cheer him up. There might even be a genetic change youre not expecting, making you super strong instantly You never know.
Lin Yi lit up a little at the words- if what Yazi was saying were true, then it wasnt that bad. He thought about how strong hed gotten with just this last phase of the first stage, and concluded that breaking through the third stage would turn him into an absolute beast. Lin Yi decided that hed settle with just that- he didnt want to be too greedy.
Are you saying Ill be able to break through the first stage right now? Lin Yi asked, a little excited after having cheered himself up.
Naturally. Yazi nodded. The energy within this space is many times and even tens of times higher than the energy youd find in the outside world- meaning that the training taking place here would be tens of times more effective than any training you do outside. Its especially so if a breakthrough is imminent; the outside world has too many unfavourable circumstances and surroundings pitched against you, thinning the energy- youll never have a supply of energy with a magnitude immense enough for something like breaking through stages... This is also why you always fail at breakthroughs.
Ah? This was the first Lin Yi heard about this talk of energy. He did understand his training as absorbing a portion of qi from the natural world- hed just assumed it was qi because of the wuxia novels hed read. It was termed as energy, apparently, according to Yazi.
Although, Id suggest that we cut the chit-chat. Youd better get training soon, that set of stone doors was set up by my mentor a long time ago, and even I myself wouldnt be able to force it open, even if my physical body were here! Yazi said faintly. Dont waste your time with any more bullshit if you dont wanna miss this opening.
Lin Yis eyes widened as he remembered the time- it was almost five years, and the doors were opening! He never expected to discover a secret like this within the jade right before that took place!
Hed only seen the jade as a premonitory warning system that protected him from harm, but as things turned out- it was a full fledged training space, with a Jiao Yazi guy just waiting for him in there!
Lin Yi got the general gist from Yazis words- the Art of Dragon Mastery was left behind along with the jade by Yazis mentor. He didnt know what kind of a powerful character this mentor was, but he understood one thing- he got lucky big time!!
(I translated what Yazi calls his master as mentor, but its actually mentors mentor)
