Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 211: Discovered but not sought

Yuan Liangtuo and Yuan Li obviously understood that Lu Shu was just toying with them. Which youth could tolerate this?

With a natural temper that’s not the best, coupled with the pride gained from entering daoyuan class, their university classmates had always given in to them. Occasionally, when they got into arguments with other students in school, others would usually give in the moment they know they’re from daoyuan class…

In reality, when normal students got into arguments, they would get into brawls easily as everyone’s physical abilities were similar.

But daoyuan students were different. Even novices with an increased strength of 100 pounds could cause devastating damage to their opponents, with their opponents having no chance of retaliation.

When there’s such a huge disparity in physical abilities, normal students would realize that giving in wasn’t so embarrassing… they indeed stood no chance against these practitioners!

But just as they were growing used to commoners giving in to them, this teenager, who did not seem older than a high school kid, was giving them a horrid time!

This was an absolute insult to them!

They realized, at this moment, that there was a huge disparity in terms of evil intent between themselves and the other party.

Yuan Liangtuo was about to make his first move but at this moment, the ticketer came over to Lu Shu, “can I see your tickets?”

Usually, ticketers would swap the red tickets of passengers for a card. When they were approaching their destination, the ticketer would come and swap the card for the ticket again. The main purpose was to make sure they had tickets, and another purpose of it was to prevent passengers from missing their stop if they were asleep.

Yuan Liangtuo’s initial rage gradually dissipated as he saw the ticketer. He obviously couldn’t start a fight in front of him.

When the ticketer left, his anger also cooled off.

How could there be so much to fight over during times of peace? Most people would just argue or squabble, but who would really fight? Only a small minority did.

The ticket exchange was like a break. When the ticketer left, everyone fell silent.

Lu Shu placed his pink luggage in the storage compartment while Yuan Liangtuo and his friends squeezed at the lower bunk opposite them, watching as Lu Shu used his phone to watch downloaded movies with Lu Xiaoyu.

The two of them shared earphones, with one bud in each ear. No one knew what they were watching, as no sound came from it. All they could see was that the two of them laughed occasionally.

Yuan Liangtuo and his friends were squeezing on a lower bunk, and he was absolutely furious. He really yearned a fight now, but because they didn’t fight previously, it was difficult to pick a fight now without any reason…

“I’ll go up to sleep,” Yuan Liangtuo said coldly before climbing up. He belonged to the upper bunk.

The four originally excited daoyuan students just dispersed to sleep like that and as they did, they thought, shouldn’t this be the time for them to be haughty and mighty now that they have trained so hard into powerful practitioners. Why did things turn out like this suddenly?

Yuan Liangtuo still had anger contained within him. If there happened to be some sort of conflict the next day…

…

Everyone was asleep, even the four daoyuan students chose sleep over training. People who gave up sleep to work hard on training still belonged to the minority. After all, they have been sleeping for decades, and they wouldn’t get used to not sleeping all of a sudden.

To everyone, it was currently an era of peace and training wasn’t considered an essential or pressing necessity. Although the heavenly network always imposed comparisons, the problem was that the students were not used to this and there was bound to be weaker students.

Being lazy was a bad habit, and being a practitioner did not guarantee that students would stop being lazy and start to be motivated.

And Lu Shu’s hard work and motivation were innate and undying.

The lights on the train were already turned off, but Lu Shu was lying on his bed trying his best to control his chi and chi droplets.

When it was late at night, he felt as if he could hear the droplets streaming down outside his chi cloud.

And as the stream built up, it felt more and more draining to be in control.

Lu Shu didn’t know how much longer he had to always be on alert and he didn’t know when the stream would turn into a river. And when the river would turn into sea.

This felt as if there was no end to it, it was too long and arduous.

But he still wanted to try. Lu Shu thought that he would reach that stage one day, and all he had to do now was to constantly train and break his limits.

Sometimes he would wonder subconsciously… if the old man was merely toying with him. But his calm demeanor made it seem unlikely.

When it was 3 in the morning, Lu Shu went to the linked area between two carriages alone. Usually, this was a place where people would have a cigarette but at 3 in the morning, the entire train was silent as everyone was in deep sleep.

Swordplay was something which required perseverance and until today, he had only just learned the fourth technique, the poke.

Li Xianyi had said that the poke and the stab had similarities but they were used to entirely different objectives. The former was like a dragonfly, swift and stealthy while the stab was powerful and direct.

Only when the poke was trained to mastery could it be formally used with effectiveness.

At this moment, Lu Shu had no sword in his possession and he could only imagine himself practicing with that sword at the old man’s yard, flailing his empty hands around.

Moreover, he had to consider that there were other passengers sleeping. This area he was in had metal floorboards. If his steps were heavy, loud sounds would be emitted, which would wake others up. It was definitely not a good idea to have the ticketers or workers onboard come to him.

Lu Shu started to slow down his movements. He controlled all of his muscles with precision, executing a poke with absolutely no sound.

Suddenly, Lu Shu felt the feeling he first experienced when he saw the old man for the first time. He really felt as if there was a sword in his hands!

Lu Shu flailed his wrist forward with the imaginary sword in his hand. At this moment, the chi and stream within him surged forward in his arms.

‘Ka’, a crack suddenly emerged on the glass in the train door in front of him. And at this instant, the distance between Lu Shu and the glass was about half a meter!

Lu Shu was stunned. He was certain that this was his own doing. He actually cracked glass without touching it?!

This sort of feeling could be discovered but not sought!
