Is my state of mind... out of balance?

Chu Zihang sat there in confusion.

He also noticed something was wrong with him, but he didn't know where it was.

The fatigue that seemed to have accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out and could not be suppressed, or it could be said that it had been suppressed to the point where it could no longer continue.

He seemed to have returned to six years ago. The world was filled with the sound of rain. He did not hold an umbrella and stood soaked in the rain. But no matter how hard he punished himself, the most precious things that had been lost could not be recovered. coming.

Chu Zihang suddenly had an enlightenment.

That's right...

It was not just two failures, but something born from the heart, six years of accumulated fatigue, so tired that it seemed like my heart could no longer beat.

The fear and powerlessness that had been suppressed in my heart finally came out.

He once thought that he had driven away powerlessness and cowardice from his life.

But when he faced the gods again, he realized that the powerlessness had always been rooted in his heart, and he was just waiting for the opportunity to explode.

He is far from as powerful as he thought.

But it’s far from the point of giving up!

The warrior who had a new understanding of himself regrouped and took the second and third steps out of a world filled with the sound of rain.

"Let's continue."

Chu Zihang clenched the handle of the knife and looked out the car window at the black shadows that gathered around him again.

He is his son, and in order to protect the most precious thing, even death is not terrible.

"Oh, this is my junior brother!" Fingel sat firmly in the driver's seat without any sign of moving.

Xia Mi said suspiciously: "Brother Fingel, where did you go before?"

Chu Zihang also looked over.

Fingel disappeared without a trace at some point before. Although this guy couldn't be of much help if he was present, his and Xia Mi's Word Spirits were enough to clear the place. The key to dealing with Loki was also the "scabbard".

"I'm going to investigate the enemy's situation!" Fingel looked serious.

"?"×2

"How can I still lie to you?"

"?"×2

"What I said is true! Liars are just puppies!"

"?"×2

The cheerful atmosphere in the van relieved a bit of depression, and the three of them didn't even pay attention to the black shadows surrounding them.

"We need to find a way to break the situation." Chu Zihang whispered, "Otherwise, the same process will be repeated every time. The most important thing now is Kungunil, who must win."

"You still can't use this thing?" Fingel pointed to the scabbard on his knee.

Chu Zihang shook his head: "I can feel the existence of its spirit, but I cannot awaken the spirit of the scabbard."

The core of alchemical weapons is spirit, and spirit is the key to building the alchemical field.

Fingel scratched his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a look."

Chu Zihang handed the scabbard to Fengel.

He suddenly remembered that this guy belonged to the vice-principal, and the vice-principal was the secret party's exclusive great alchemist.

Maybe this guy can really...

Fingel squinted and looked towards the gap in the scabbard. After looking at it for a while, he put the scabbard to his ear and tapped the scabbard in a professional way to identify watermelons.

"It's really mysterious. I can't tell." He sighed sincerely and handed the scabbard back to Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang's face was expressionless.

It's my own fault for having expectations for this guy, I can't blame him.

"But..." Fingel seemed to have thought of something, "I personally think the key to using this scabbard is hidden in the last words of Norns."

"In the last words?" Chu Zihang whispered.

"If I guessed correctly, the secret key that guy was talking about is something similar to the dragon script. The dragon script is the key to using the spirit of speech, so the secret key is the key to opening the door of power. The Norns were a prehistoric civilization that used

The power is different from that of Longwen. To awaken this weapon, you naturally need a different key. After all, the keyholes don’t match up!”

Fingel continued,

"You have all learned how to extract keywords. The guy said a lot, but the most important things are two points. One is to help us refine our spiritual power, and the other is the soul."

"Needless to say the former, junior brother, you are the first to feel it, and the key is the second one. Norns calls their ability [Heart Wall]. From a literal meaning, it is a kind of power that originates from the soul.

Strength, maybe you should dig into it from this angle."

Chu Zihang pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Brother, you summed it up very well. Maybe the power of the mind is the key to breaking the situation."

"But the power of the mind is too vague, isn't it?" Xia Mi complained.

"I don't know the specifics, but I think it has something to do with spiritual power, otherwise Norns wouldn't have gone out of their way to improve our spiritual power." Chu Zihang guessed.

"Psychic power is mental power?" Xia Mi frowned.

"It's definitely not that simple, but there must be a connection. I will make more attempts." Chu Zihang thought for a while and said, "Brother, we don't have to fight, let's run and buy more time."

"Yes, yes, but you have to go down and clear the field first. The Kassel Racing God is already online."

When Chu Zihang got out of the car, the world was still still. The suspended raindrops were strangely frozen in the sky, but the distance between these black shadows and the van seemed to be closer than last time.

He frowned, as if he had guessed something in his mind, but had no time to think about it.

After clearing the way with [Jun Yan], the van sped away.

The sound of the roaring engine was extremely conspicuous in the deserted city. Countless black figures peeked out from all corners of the city, and pairs of golden eyes locked on the vans running rampant in the driveway.

Fingel glanced outside the car. He had already increased the speed of the car to 230 kilometers per hour, but more and more figures were chasing after him outside, peeking at the fresh flesh and blood inside the car through the still rain curtain.

Mercury-silver light shines into the car from all directions, and countless dark shadows are clustered around the van in the light, like hyenas preparing to hunt on the grassland.

"It's really difficult to deal with."

Fingel continued to speed up, and the pointer of the engine speedometer kept trembling, already pointing to the dangerous red zone.

Logically speaking, the car's body would shake violently if it exceeded 120 yards, but the car that had already exceeded twice the speed per hour was as stable as a rock under Fingel's hands.

He drove the van and performed various drifts on the city streets, leaving behind the hunting shadows time and time again. His driving skills were worthy of the title of the self-proclaimed "Kassel Car God".

Xia Mi sat in the back, using [Wind King's Child] to guard around the car, reducing wind resistance and blocking the deadpool who accidentally rushed up.

The two of them built a safe haven for Chu Zihang so that he could safely try to awaken the spirit of the scabbard.

Chu Zihang is entering a meditative state.

Yoga practitioners usually subdue their minds through meditation. Chu Zihang learned from a specialized yoga master and mastered the basic meditation method.

In his opinion, there is not much difference between meditation and Zen practice. They are both seeking oneself in silence.

The essence of meditation is to divert attention, curb the generation of distracting thoughts, make thoughts diverge and extend through self-guidance, enter an ethereal realm, and explore a deeper self.

This is a very mysterious realm, and advanced people often claim to have seen different worlds.

Chu Zihang can understand this realm.

Not to mention different people, even in the eyes of one person, the world can be different at different times. If you calm down and experience the quiet world carefully, an unprecedented feeling will spontaneously arise in your heart.

And now Chu Zihang is exploring a deeper self.

If you want to conquer your own mind, you must first understand yourself.

When he was awakened by Fingel, he had a deeper understanding of himself.

The noisy sounds in his ears slowly faded away, and it seemed as if he was being withdrawn from this world.

Suddenly ripples appeared in his steady thoughts.

He is going to meditate...

Then.

Meditation failed.

Chu Zihang opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.

Meditation is a very focused thing and does not allow for any distracting thoughts. The ripples in his mind were equivalent to him breaking his kung fu at the last moment.

"What's wrong, junior brother? Are we too noisy?" Fingel looked at him through the rearview mirror, "Okay, I'm going to shut up now, you keep working hard!"

"Brother, take your time, we have plenty of time! Come on!" Xia Mi encouraged him.

Chu Zihang cleared away his distracting thoughts and tried to meditate again.

Time passed bit by bit.

My mind gradually becomes empty, and I calm down the distracting thoughts...
To be continued...
