At the Daoless Sect’s gate, beside the stone..

Upon hearing his Master’s words, Zhang Han stared at the mark on the stone, his face flustered.

He could not tell what was on the rock. His mind was completely blank.

This was the second time his Master had asked the same question. Yet, his answer was still a definite no.

How could he not feel embarrassed?

It was said that his Eldest Senior Brother had directly comprehended it. In comparison, would his Master feel that his perception was inferior?

“M-master, this disciple is slow-witted and did not comprehend anything.”

Zhang Han lowered his head, not daring to look at his Master, and felt very ashamed.

Chu Yuan had a face that said, “I knew it.”

If you can still understand this, then I’ll twist my own head off and let you kick it like a ball.

This was what he thought. He still wanted to hoodwink this disciple into staying in the sect for a year, so how could he say that?

historical

Chu Yuan shook his head, seemingly very disappointed.

He looked at Zhang Han and said slowly, “It seems like your comprehension ability is lower than I thought. Forget it..”

Chu Yuan sighed faintly. His voice was filled with disappointment.

Thump..

Zhang Han was even more embarrassed when he heard his Master’s words.

He knelt in front of Chu Yuan with a thud.

“Master, I am not qualified to be your disciple. Please let me go down the mountain.

“If possible, Master, please help me settle the matter of the spirit root. After I leave the mountain, I will always remember your kindness. If I can survive in the mortal world, I will definitely not forget your kindness!”

Zhang Han was ashamed to the point he felt that he should just leave the sect. He had been a good-for-nothing for ten years. In these ten years, he had not been idle. He had been studying, making him gentle and refined.

It also made his ego high.

He felt deeply ashamed that he was unable to comprehend anything. He was not worthy of being Master’s disciple!

On the other side, when Chu Yuan heard this, he almost tripped over himself.

Hey, hey, hey, that’s not how it’s supposed to go.

This is not how you should respond. I haven’t even finished hoodwinking you, and you’re already thinking of leaving the sect!?

If you leave the sect now, what will happen to me?

No, no, I have to stabilize this disciple.

Chu Yuan suppressed his mental state that was about to collapse. His face remained calm and collected.

Chu Yuan said softly, “Giving up just like that?

“Han’er, cultivating is difficult, harder than ascending to the heavens. If you want to cultivate, you must have an indomitable heart.

“There are countless geniuses in this world. Master did not choose them as disciples but chose you. Naturally, that is because you possess talent that ordinary people cannot possess. You have certain talents that ordinary people do not possess. You must remember this.

“Remember, self-confidence is of utmost importance. No matter the situation you are in, don’t ever give up. Be more confident.

“Take your time to comprehend this mark. If one day is not enough, then take two days. If two days are not enough, then take three days. Only through perseverance will you succeed!

“Although your perception isn’t good, Master believes that you can figure it out!

“Study it well. I believe in you.”

Then, he turned around and left. Clouds formed under his feet as he headed up the mountain.

Of course, he didn’t really leave. Instead, he hid in the sky and observed Zhang Han.

Chu Yuan clenched his fists so tightly that his palms were sweating, afraid that Zhang Han would really insist on leaving.

In this day and age, it was hard to find a trash disciple without a spirit root. If Zhang Han escaped, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry. He was also blaming himself for hoodwinking too much.

Beside the stone..

Zhang Han’s ears were filled with his Master’s words.

He stood there in a daze.

In the next moment, his eyes reddened. He did not expect his Master to comfort him like this.

When his Master found out that his comprehension ability was low, he didn’t choose to expel him from the sect. Instead, he chose to make him work hard.

Zhang Han had been a cripple for ten years. He knew that in this world, self-interest was the most important.

In an ordinary sect, if the Elders knew that their disciple’s comprehension was low, they would either order them around like a slave or kick them out of the sect.

However, his Master had chosen to let him stay and encouraged him to work hard.

One must understand that his Master’s sect was an extremely powerful one.

Zhang Han silently wiped his eyes and sat in front of the rock.

His Master’s kindness would forever be engraved in his heart.

Since he could not repay his Master’s kindness now, he could only use all his strength to become stronger to repay his Master’s kindness in the future!

Zhang Han quickly calmed down and looked at the mark on the stone with determination.

Chu Yuan, who was riding his magic cloud in the sky, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Finally, the situation had stabilized. He could still get the reward of an increase of a small realm.

Fortunately, he was smart enough to use words to comfort his second disciple. Otherwise, this disciple would have left the sect.

Fortunately, this problem was resolved in time. Everything was still under his control.

Chu Yuan released his tightly clenched hands, feeling refreshed.

After working for so long, I’d better get some rest.

There was no need for him to keep an eye on Zhang Han for the time being.

For at least the next two or three days, he did not need to pay constant attention to Zhang Han.

“Time to relax. I’m going to Silvermoon City to eat since it’s free to eat there,” Chu Yuan muttered to himself.

He rode the clouds and flew toward Silvermoon City excitedly.

..

After Chu Yuan left, the cultivators in the Daoless Sect continued their pursuit of the Dao.

Ye Luo stood on the square in the main hall, observing the Dao of heavens and earth and comprehending the golden chains.

Zhang Han stood beside the stone and looked at the traces on it, comprehending loneliness.

..

Soon after, the sun set, and the crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Under the night sky, the Daoless Sect was silent.

Beside the mountain gate..

Zhang Han was still staring at the mark on the stone.

He looked determined as he wanted to become stronger faster. This was so that he could repay his Master.

He couldn’t care less. He wanted to comprehend the Dao of Array Formations from this trace as soon as possible.

He wanted to tell his Master that he did not let him down and had already comprehended what he had asked him to.

However, how could he comprehend it?

Even after staring at it for so long, he still could not comprehend anything.

No matter how patient Zhang Han was, he could not help but feel frustrated. This trace of frustration was like maggots attached to his bones, making him gradually lose all of his patience.

Da da da..

At that moment, a series of footsteps sounded.

Zhang Han turned around.

On the mountain path, the Eldest Senior Brother, Ye Luo, who wore a green flowing crane robe and held a longsword in his hand, walked down with a proud and aloof bearing like a sword immortal.

When Zhang Han saw Ye Luo walking over, he quickly stood up.

“Junior Brother Zhang Han greets Senior Brother.”

Zhang Han bowed.

Ye Luo was surprised to see Zhang Han here. “Junior Brother, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?”

He had just finished practicing his swordsmanship and was going to catch some venison for dinner.

Who knew that his new Junior Brother would actually be there?

When Zhang Han heard this, he pointed at the mark on the rock and replied, “Eldest Senior Brother, Master left behind Dao marks here for Junior Brother to comprehend. However, Junior Brother is slow-witted and cannot comprehend it even after a long time. Thus, Junior Brother can only use diligence to make up for my stupidity. That’s why I’m still comprehending the Dao here late at night.”

The Dao marks left behind by Master?

Ye Luo’s interest was piqued. He looked at the mark on the stone using the Heaven’s Viewing Technique.

Nothing..

There were no traces of Dao at all..

Junior Brother, are you kidding me? Are you trying to comprehend loneliness!?
