Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality

Chapter 1389 - 697: Conflict Arises (Part 2)

The previous sense of dissatisfaction had long since disappeared. Seeing this, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity. He walked up to Hu Yi and persuaded her, "Alright, that’s about enough, stop practicing, and go learn something else."However, Hu Yi turned a deaf ear to Zhou Yi’s words, intent only on following Lin Beichen’s instructions. No matter what Lin Beichen told her to do, she would execute it without hesitation, and without his orders, she would not easily stop.

Zhou Yi looked surprised and advised once more, "Didn’t you hear what I said? Stop practicing, take a break."

Gasping for breath, Hu Yi firmly replied, "No way, don’t disturb me here. Without master’s orders, I won’t leave."

Zhou Yi did not expect Hu Yi to be so resolute, continuously practicing squats, completely ignoring his advice.

Lin Beichen, though in discussion with the elder, kept his gaze on Hu Yi. Seeing her so tenacious, he was quite surprised. Hu Yi had been practicing for hours without any intention of stopping.

Worried her body couldn’t take it, Lin Beichen walked up to her and said, "Alright, given how persistent you are, I promise you, as long as you persist in practicing squats for a month, I will teach you Daoist Art. Do you understand what I mean?"

Hu Yi was overjoyed when Lin Beichen finally agreed to teach her Daoist Art. Although her body was exhausted, the joy in her heart was beyond words. She resolutely said, "Thank you, Master, I will definitely persevere and not let you down."

Lin Beichen was somewhat surprised and shocked by Hu Yi’s efforts. He hadn’t expected this seemingly frail girl to have such a stubborn personality. Though she appeared a bit careless usually, she displayed a certain tenacity when doing things, which Lin Beichen greatly appreciated.

He believed that as long as Hu Yi could study diligently, she would quickly become different from other disciples. With his personal guidance, Hu Yi was sure to stand out and achieve great things in the future.

After dealing with Hu Yi’s matter, Lin Beichen returned to the elder. The elder had witnessed the scene just now.

The elder also admired Lin Beichen’s disciple, looking at Lin Beichen and saying, "Not bad, you have a good disciple there. She must be a great potential. If you nurture her well, she will definitely become outstanding and exceptional."

"I see her determination will surely satisfy you. Keep working hard."

Lin Beichen just smiled slightly at the elder’s words and didn’t say much. He also didn’t discuss Hu Yi further with the elder, and seeing this, the elder refrained from saying more.

However, the elder understood that Lin Beichen’s disciple was not an ordinary girl. Seeing her determination and perseverance, she was bound to learn a lot from Lin Beichen. The elder couldn’t help but feel hopeful for Hu Yi.

Hu Yi continued to practice there, undeterred by Lin Beichen’s words. In order to learn Daoist Art from Lin Beichen, she was willing to endure any hardship.

She knew the opportunity was rare. To become Lin Beichen’s disciple, she had exhausted all her means. She even used tactics like acting coquettishly and playing dumb to secure this chance. She had to cherish it and seize it firmly.

In no time, it was dinnertime, and everyone gathered to eat, but Hu Yi was nowhere to be seen. Lin Beichen looked around but couldn’t find Hu Yi. He turned to Zhou Yi and asked, "Where has Hu Yi gone? Why didn’t she come for dinner?"

Zhou Yi was also surprised, shaking his head and saying, "I haven’t seen her. Could she still be practicing? That’s too diligent."

Lin Beichen then asked Zhou Yi to find her. After a while, Zhou Yi finally returned with Hu Yi.

However, seeing Hu Yi, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but feel worried. He looked at Hu Yi in confusion and asked, "What’s going on here?"

Zhou Yi also shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Seeing Hu Yi drenched in sweat and exhausted, Lin Beichen understood the situation. No wonder she was missing at dinner, she had been practicing to the point of obsession.

He walked up to Hu Yi and gently asked, "It’s dinner time and you weren’t there, still practicing?"

Hu Yi immediately nodded and replied, "Master, I’ve been practicing nonstop. I can definitely persist for a month and not let you down."

Hearing this, Lin Beichen’s heart softened. He truly hadn’t expected Hu Yi to be so determined, forgetting even to eat dinner and ignoring her body’s fatigue.

Looking at Hu Yi, he solemnly said, "Alright, it’s time to eat, go quickly. You need to organize your time sensibly, you can’t just bury yourself in it and forget everything else, that’s not good."

Upon hearing she could eat, Hu Yi joyfully ran off. Although she was tired physically, her heart was elated. Thinking about how she’d soon learn Daoist Art, she was full of anticipation, eager to study by Lin Beichen’s side every day, looking forward to each day in the future.

Watching Hu Yi’s cheerful silhouette, Lin Beichen couldn’t help but shake his head, filled with mixed feelings. He understood that Hu Yi’s desire to be his disciple was not a momentary impulse, but a genuine intention. Her past behavior, while a bit unseemly, was all in pursuit of her goal. This spirit of disregarding everything for her dreams made Lin Beichen look at Hu Yi in a new light.

He suddenly called out to Hu Yi, "Hold on a moment..."

Hu Yi stopped and looked at Lin Beichen nervously, "Master, is there anything else?"

Lin Beichen smiled slightly and said, "In the future, there’s no need to practice so hard, neglecting sleep and meals isn’t good. Practicing two hours a day is sufficient, everything should be done gradually, you have other things to attend to, understand?"

Hu Yi listened and happily nodded, "I understand, Master, I will follow your instructions. Starting tomorrow, I will practice squats daily until the month’s end."

"Good, off you go." Lin Beichen nodded.

Hu Yi was overjoyed, discovering another lovable side of Lin Beichen. To her, Lin Beichen was both smart and skilled, and his gentle side made her even happier. She increasingly liked her master, believing she had chosen the right person.

After Hu Yi left, Lin Beichen also returned to his room to continue meditating and cultivating. He knew his most important task now was cultivation, as his current strength was still far from adequate.

Thinking about this, Lin Beichen was more determined to improve himself. He had to work harder than others to quickly enhance his cultivation.

In his room, Lin Beichen meditated and practiced while writing Talisman Papers. He integrated the knowledge learned from the elder into practice. He felt much more at ease now than before, feeling quite delighted inside.

Recalling the days of cultivating with the elder, Lin Beichen felt immensely grateful and nostalgic. Those joyous times and the knowledge he acquired made him feel that his decision was absolutely right.

He was grateful to the elder, for if not for the elder’s firm attitude, he might have refused the opportunity due to misunderstandings, and then he wouldn’t have learned so much.

With these thoughts, Lin Beichen focused even more on his cultivation. He was burdened with great responsibilities and had to become strong to meet expectations.

The next day, Lin Beichen continued meditating and cultivating in his room. Followers and missionaries in the Daoist temple were also in their respective practices. However, it was at this moment that a loud commotion suddenly arose outside, accompanied by the sounds of scuffle, breaking the morning serenity.

Lin Beichen was startled, unsure of what was happening outside, but he clearly heard the sounds of disputes, which seemed to be worsening.

Just as he was feeling restless, Zhou Yi hurried in. Lin Beichen looked at him displeased and asked, "What’s going on? Why is it so noisy early in the morning instead of practicing? What exactly happened?"

With a troubled expression, Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment before saying, "There’s been a bit of an issue, Zhou Baoguo and the missionaries got into a dispute, and it’s quite serious. They’re now at a standoff, and it’s turned physical. I couldn’t calm them down, so I came to find you."
