Chapter 43: 043, [Breaking through is as natural to me as eating and drinking]

The ink smoothly glides across the talisman paper. Its speed is not fast, but its flow is smooth, like a black line of water, then absorbed by the talisman paper.

This line is very straight, especially compared to the wavy lines drawn earlier!

Sudden exclamations erupt, for this change happened unnexpectedly!

How did the Young Elder breakthrough so suddenly?

His pen strokes seemed so difficult before, how did he managed to draw such straight lines all of a sudden!

Harboring these doubts, the naive outer sect disciples concluded in their hearts: “Young Elder, as expected, is Young Elder!”

Although they have not tried drawing it themselves, no one is foolish.

The moment the Young Elder drew a straight line, Elder Qiu Shui’s expression became brilliant.

From Elder Qiu Shui’s expression, it could be seen that the Young Elder must have done something extraordinary again!

In fact, it appears that Lu Xun has a talent for precision or perhaps his ability to increase his level instead of relying on practice might be the trick.

He was no longer just obsessed with duration now. He not only wanted to draw for 25 minutes, but he also wanted to try and draw out what he envisioned!

If he could truly achieve this, it would be considered an advancement in precision!

“Straight lines might be the simplest, curves might be more difficult,” Lu Xun pondered.

He tried to draw a round arc, like a ripe peach.

The image has already formed in his mind, but his hand wouldn’t cooperate.

Soon, the line became wavy again.

Others did not know that he was trying to draw curves and believed the Young Elder was unable to hold his pen steady after drawing a straight line once.

After one failure, Lu Xun began to try for the second time, third time, fourth time…

The curves he drew started to look better and finally, the spectators figured out what Lu Xun was aiming for.

Shen Yan, sitting on Evergreen Peak, smiled wryly. The “barren” fierce face squeezed out unflattering creases. In a voice akin to a screaming chicken, he said:

“The Young Elder can indeed make good use of opportunities. He is no longer treating this as a trial examination but is continuously breaking boundaries and improving.”

Yue Heshan, who is not very neurotypical, immediately added on, “That’s why the Young Elder is definitely a prodigy. That day, observing his Qi Sea, it must have been a great river! So, I’m sure I won!”

Until today, he was still thinking about the unresolved bet.

Everyone was a group of fellow disciples who grew up together, knowing each other well. As a result, everyone ignored him and were discussing where exactly Lu Xun’s limit lies.

Even if nobody gave Yue Heshan any attention, he would continue to sulk on the side for half a minute and then promptly rejoin the group chat.

These indomitable elders discussed fervently, quickly being re-engrossed by Lu Xun as he successfully drew his first curve!

It seems like he truly has a talent for precision.

Looking at this smooth curve, Lu Xun was very satisfied, even having the leisure to joke in his heart: “Should I try drawing a dragon on the left and a rainbow on the right?”

He took the time to check the task progress. Earlier he was too absorbed in drawing so he didn’t pay any attention.

By this time he had been drawing for 17 minutes, and the task progress had reached 60%!

Three thousand experience points had already been credited, very delightful!

Although he was overjoyed internally, he was feeling a bit out of it and his right hand was becoming numb.

In this state, he felt oddly intoxicated.

A crazy thought sprung up from the depths of his heart: “Where exactly is my

limit?”

Lu Xun couldn’t wait to test it out.

He picked up the brush, no longer concerned about time or task progress, only focusing on drawing.

He no longer cared about whether this line was straight enough, or if the curve was smooth enough, he just kept drawing!

When his spiritual power ran out again, he didn’t hesitate to click on the upgrade!

2000 experience points immediately disappeared, and Lu Xun directly rose to the fourth level of Qi Consumption Technique!

Not to mention Elder Qiu Shui in the audience, even the old and the indomitable on Evergreen Peak seemed restless!

Breaking through two realms in such a short time!

The path of cultivation is indeed mysterious, consecutive breakthroughs aren’t impossible.

To be precise, which of Shen Yan and the other Peak Masters were not talented prodigies or people harboring great fortunes?

Their journey to this point involved numerous miracles and numerous breakthroughs to become strong players in the Seventh or Eighth Realm.

But breaking through two realms during Sect Trials, that was a first.

Lu Xun seemed to be declaring with his actions: breaking realms for me is as easy as eating and drinking!

At this moment, Lu Xun, with his replenished spiritual power surged in him, drew faster and more freely.

His pen and ink danced and dashed across the paper!

He kept pressuring himself and relentlessly testing his mental limits.

The expressions of the outer sect disciples became more serious. In their eyes, this was not just a trial anymore but a lesson from the Young Elder.

If it were them, let alone breaking through two realms, even a single realm was difficult.

They didn’t know how Lu Xun did it, but for the outer sect disciples who had not seen much of the world, this didn’t affect their admiration for the Young Elder!

As expected of the disciple noticed by the teacher, indeed a prodigy!

The mountain breeze blew, billowing Lu Xun’s black robe. He held the brush in his hand, sketching across the talisman paper. The outer sect disciples looked at his silhouette with admiration. They felt it was intoxicatingly free-spirited! An unexpected trial became a joyful celebration for the Young Elder in his ink splattering frenzy!

Everyone quietly watched his writings and drawings and surprisingly, they did not find it boring or tiresome.

The outer sect disciples began to contribute reputation value again. Ji Li, standing in the front row, was not only contributing reputation value but also her growing favorability towards him.

Her eyes gleamed brightly, as though they were alight.

Everyone watched for a whole hour!

Everyone waited without getting bored, instead, they felt an excitement building up!

By now, Lu Xun was nearing his limit, his vision going dark. If he continues to draw, he might faint on the spot. “I’m close to my limit.” he said to himself.

An hour had passed, a full sixty minutes!

And the one hundred percent completion for this examination task was merely 25 minutes!

Exhausted, Lu Xun was barely able to hold his brush. He mustered the last bits of his spiritual power to keep the brush steady, then turned around and respectfully placed the brush back on the table.

Time seemed frozen at this moment as everyone watched Lu Xun, unable to take their eyes off him.

The mountain wind blew up his forehead, fluttering some strands of hair. His black robe and the thick ink on the talisman paper seemed to merge into one being.

He was the embodiment of aesthetics.
