Chapter 140: The Provocation Before the Competition
In the next two months, Li Tian and Yun Zhi both spent their time practicing with their heads covered. In these two months, all the low-level Divine Brain Pills had been exhausted.
The second dog who was with the two of them still looked like a lazy dog. What was different from before was that it had grown up again. In just two months, it was already as high as the knees.
With its slender posture, sharp teeth, and its trademark, golden vertical pupils, and two small bumps on its head, it is still as wretched as ever, but its current appearance makes people a little frightened.
Now the wound on Li Tian's shoulder has healed, but a hideous scar remains that cannot be recovered.
After two months of unremitting efforts, Yun Zhi also broke through the second stage of the Muscle and Bone Realm and the Thoughtful Spring Realm early, far ahead of everyone in the academy, even those with less talent who had just entered the Thoughtful Spring Realm.
Li Tian, on the other hand, seemed to be going crazy in the past two months, especially in the second month, he never returned to the dormitory and stayed in the training pavilion.
This made his name known to all the first-year students.
"Is he Li Tian? The ruthless man who completed the mission of the Transcendent Realm? How long has he been staying in the training pavilion?"
Looking in the direction of Li Tian, two people kept talking, with incredible looks in their eyes.
"Today is the thirtieth day, right? He is either practicing in the reiatsu room or resting outside. It's as if he is risking his life. Is he being stimulated by something?"
"Who knows, if you look at him like that, you don't know how many days he hasn't slept. If I worked half as hard as him, I would probably be able to break through the second level of Siquan Realm."
"If you had worked half as hard as him, you would have died suddenly. Still trying to break through is like a dream."
"Look, Ling Yunzhi has come to deliver food to him. Let's break up and stop chatting. Wait until he is heard."
When the two of them saw the young man in white walking up the stairs, they immediately closed their mouths and turned to leave.
Yunzhi carried the bag and walked slowly towards Li Tian, his eyes full of worry and helplessness.
Li Tian's hair was disheveled at the moment. The hair that had not been washed for a month was already extremely dirty, like dry grass stained with oil, and there were clumps of knots. It also exuded a formidable smell.
His eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, as the two people said before, as if he hadn't slept for a few days.
"Brother, take a rest. Tomorrow is the competition."
Seeing Li Tian's sloppy appearance, Yun Zhi didn't look disgusted at all and came to sit next to him.
He put aside the food he brought and spoke to Li Tian with concern.
Li Tian was in a daze, as if he hadn't noticed Yun Zhi's arrival, and was so sluggish that he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother."
Yun Zhi shouted again.
"Practice also pays attention to the balance between work and rest. There will always be bottlenecks. Don't be too persistent. Maybe you will make a breakthrough when you wake up tomorrow? Go back and rest first."
He knew what made Li Tian so crazy. In the previous month, Li Tian basically ate, slept and practiced. However, he was already close to reaching the second level of the Siquan Realm.
He looked like he was drinking water, which made Li Tian doubt himself.
So in the second month, he plunged into the cultivation pavilion. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he refused to go back, saying that he would not rest until he made a breakthrough, until now.
Li Tian used all kinds of methods. Not only did he improve his cultivation, he didn't move at all, and he was still stuck in the same place.
Yun Zhi was really worried about him. He was really afraid that when he came over one day, he would find that Li Tian had suddenly died in the training pavilion.
Li Tian suddenly seemed to realize something. His dull eyes moved and regained some of his energy. He looked at Yun Zhi beside him.
"Huh? Zhi, are you here? Did I just fall asleep?"
"When I wake up, I feel that I have recovered a lot. You can go and do your work. Leave the food here for me to eat after I finish practicing."
After speaking, Li Tian stood up with difficulty. He almost fell back when he was unsteady, but he was still able to stabilize him. After he stood up, he slowly walked towards the spiritual pressure room in front of him. There was nothing else in his eyes.
.
"Brother! What are you doing?"
Yun Zhi's eyes were red. Seeing Li Tian's miserable state, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Cultivation, I'm about to break through, just a little bit close. I'll go back after the breakthrough, you don't have to worry about me."
Li Tian saw Yun Zhi's concerned look, struggled to squeeze out a smile, and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry.
Yun Zhi stepped forward and took Li Tian's hand.
"No, I can't watch you go on any longer. You must go back with me today!"
Feeling the force coming from his hand, Li Tian wanted to shake it off but had no strength.
"Don't make trouble, just let go. I will definitely be able to break through today. You don't have to worry about me. You can practice by yourself. Don't waste your time."
Seeing that Li Tian was still insisting, Yun Zhi felt a trace of sadness in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by anger, and he angrily scolded Li Tian.
"Can you wake up! If you could have broken through earlier, would you have waited until today? Everything you do is meaningless, and even your body has collapsed. Can you stop worrying me!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Li Tian's face instantly froze, and he stared blankly at Yun Zhi in front of him. At this moment, he couldn't even see the other person's face clearly, only a blur.
Perhaps knowing that what he said was too harsh, Yun Zhi immediately changed his tone.
"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't mean that. I was afraid that your body wouldn't be able to bear it. The competition is tomorrow. Come back with me and have a good rest."
Not long after, Li Tian seemed to have shed all his fatigue, and knelt down on the ground weakly.
"I'm sorry that I have worried you during this period. You are right. I have already broken through before I could see it. I couldn't see clearly."
Li Tian still accepted the reality. In the past two months, he had been unable to accept the fact that he could not practice, which led to him practicing day and night. He tried every means, manipulated the compass, and even kept taking Shen Nao Dan to stay in a daze.
In the reiatsu room, it still didn't help, and now, his last bit of will collapsed.
Tears slowly fell from the corners of his eyes, and he covered his face weakly and cried.
Some things really cannot be obtained through hard work.
Yun Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up.
"What I just said is nonsense. Brother, you are just too tired. You will be fine if you go back and rest. Come on, I will help you back."
Finally, with the support of Yun Zhi, Li Tian finally left the training pavilion.
Behind them, many people were looking at them and talking about something.
Li Tian's deeds of practicing for a month continuously were widely circulated in the academy and became the idol of countless people.
Even some people who come to hang out have the idea of cultivating hard.
When Li Tian woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums.
He didn't know how long he slept this time, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky outside the balcony was still bright.
At this time, Yun Zhi ran off somewhere, while Er Gou, for the first time, did not lie down in bed and play with the communicator, but ran to the balcony, lay down on the fence and looked outside.
"What are the people beating gongs and drums doing outside?"
Li Tian put on his clothes and got out of bed, curiously walking to the balcony.
Hearing the sound, the two dogs turned around and looked at Li Tian.
"There's a college competition today, don't you know?"
Li Tian, who hadn't seen Ergou for a month, was surprised when he saw Ergou.
"Why do you look like this?"
Ergou looks ugly and evil.
Unexpectedly, Ergou grinned.
"Handsome?"
"You are handsome."
Li Tianbai ignored it and looked outside.
The crowd was like a long queue, walking from the entrance of the college. The leader was beating gongs and drums, and many people were following behind holding red banners. There were countless onlookers.
"The Lingtian Academy competition is about to begin!"
"The participating students move to the battle pavilion!"
"Registration will end at 12 noon!"
The leading boy held a big loudspeaker and shouted to everyone in the academy.
He didn't expect that the competition would start so soon, Li Tian sighed with emotion. He also didn't expect that he would squat in the training pavilion for a whole month. Even he himself would become dizzy after practicing.
Li Tian asked, kicking Ergou on the side.
"Where is your second brother?"
"He went out early in the morning, probably to register at the Battle Pavilion. He has told me many times this month that he wants to win first place, so he can't wait."
The two dogs pinched their noses and laughed.
Li Tian chuckled when he heard this. With Yun Zhi's talent and strength, there is really no one in this class who can defeat him. The first one should be safe.
"Let's go and see the excitement."
Seeing the lively crowds in the college, Li Tian felt a little itchy in his heart.
"I won't go, you can go by yourself."
Ergou refused without thinking. What does this noisy world have to do with Master Gou? Master Gou is just a quiet and beautiful man!
Li Tian turned to look at it maliciously.
"It seems that after not seeing each other for a month, your Brother Tian's prestige has been lost. It's time to re-establish it. Otherwise, when Brother Tian talks to you in the future, you will feel that he is discussing with you!"
Ergou felt the danger and quietly leaned back a little.
"Ahem, Brother Tian is joking. Wherever Brother Tian goes, there will always be two dogs accompanying him!"
Yun Zhi is not here at this time. If it is beaten, it will not even have anyone to call for help. It is not worthy of being beaten. It is not worth it.
Li Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Then, after washing up, he took the two dogs out.
In fact, it's not just Li Tian who hasn't seen the academy for a month. As he has been practicing in the Xiangzhan Pavilion for a month, the two dogs have not gone out. They are lazy and wait for Yun Zhi to feed them every day. Yun Zhi is feeding them this month.
People are both father and mother.
The two of them cast curious glances at the large procession on the street, watching them wandering around beating gongs and drums.
At the same time, many people pointed at Li Tian.
"Look at how strange that person is. He brings a dog with him when he goes out. That dog is so ugly, haha."
"That person seems to be Ling Yunzhi's friend. I've seen that dog before, next to Ling Yunzhi, but it was ugly and weird-looking. Do you think it can bite? Hahaha
.”
The two passed by Li Tian and talked curiously in low voices.
Li Tian didn't hear it and had no idea.
But the two dogs on the side moved their ears twice.
"Hey, those two idiots over there, look at your horse! Did you eat shit this morning? Your mouth smells so bad!"
Two people "..."
They never expected to be scolded by a dog, and scolded so harshly!
One of them looked at Li Tian with a gloomy face.
"Brother, what's the matter with you dog? Why are you scolding us?"
Li Tian was also puzzled as to how these two good-looking dogs could spit out fragrance.
He looked at Ergou beside him and asked.
"Why are you scolding others?"
"Brother Tian, they were the ones who scolded me first. They said I was ugly!"
How could these two dogs let the villain of the other party file a complaint first? He quickly explained.
Li Tian turned his attention to the two of them again.
"Did you scold it?"
Although Ergou was just a dog, he followed him anyway. It would be fine if he was wronged, but since he was the one who scolded him first, he couldn't sit idly by and watch.
"Which of your ears heard us scolding it? Besides, it's just a dog, so how about scolding it? Now let your dog apologize to us, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
The man refused to give up and asked Ergou to apologize to them, which made Li Tian's face suddenly turn bad.
Seeing this, the other person quickly pulled over the person who wanted Ergou to apologize and whispered something.
"They are Ling Yunzhi's friends, that's alright. If they offend Ling Yunzhi, the gain will outweigh the losses."
But when the man heard this, not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more outrageous.
"What's wrong with Ling Yunzhi's friend!"
He yelled and looked at Li Tian, his face full of arrogance.
"Oh, I remembered, it turns out you are the loser who stayed in the cultivation pavilion for a month and still couldn't break through the Siquan realm!"
"What? You want to bully others just because of Ling Yunzhi's momentum?"
