Dared to go against my master’s word

Two days Quickly passed,

In those two days, Zhu Shen mainly focused on healing his external injuries. His master specifically prohibited him from using his breathing technique while he is injured.

'This should be enough…'

Looking at his injured body finally healed, Zhu Shen couldn't wait and sat cross-legged on a mat.

"Haaa…. Huff…"

Zhu Shen started to practice the dragon breathing technique. To his surprise, he was able to practice dragon breathing much more easily this time. While practising, his body got heavier and heavier as more and more Qi entered into his body.

Old man Ao looked at Zhu Shen's felt something as he saw a massive tornado of Qi above Zhu Shen's room.

'This brat is getting more and more devoted to his practice…'

Looking at his disciple's performance, old man Ao became quite happy. For any cultivator, devotion was key to achieving a higher realm more easily. With enough devotion, cultivators with poor talents are able to surpass the geniuses.

He waved his hand and the formation inside Zhu Shen's room got activated absorbing more Qi from the surroundings.

Zhu Shen inside the room had no idea what was happening outside as his whole attention was on his breathing. He soon felt all his senses improving. As his breathing got heavier and heavier, all the sounds around him become more and more clear. This continued until Zhu Shen could feel his heartbeat like a thunderous boom.

"Boom… Boom…"

In Zhu Shen's hearing, his heartbeat got louder and louder. This made Zhu Shen distracted a bit, but his master's voice came into his mind clearing all the distractions.

'Let go of you thinking. Feel the empty darkness inside and outside you…'

Zhu Shen cleared his mind as he felt the darkness inside and outside of him as per old man Ao's guidance. Without his mind to distract him, Zhu Shen started to progress in his breathing technique. One could see black fumes coming out of Zhu Shen's nose as he exhaled.

After about 25 minutes, Zhu Shen opened his eyes. He felt quite a bit weak. This weakness was just like he just donated a lot of blood to someone.

"Huff…"

Zhu Shen exhaled as he tiredly got up from his meditation spot. Tumbling, he walked towards old man Ao's room. He knocked on old man Ao's room.

"Master… I have few doubts regarding the cultivation technique…"

Zhu Shen was quite scared when he first saw how weak his body became after just a few minutes of meditation. He wanted to know why this happened.

Old man Ao opened the door and invited Zhu Shen inside his room. Zhu Shen walked inside Zhu Shen's room and told everything that he experienced during his meditation session.

The look of shock appeared on old man Ao's face. He quickly grabbed Zhu Shen's hand and felt his heartbeat. The blood pressure in Zhu Shen's body became so low that old man Ao's face became restless.

He took a red pill from his storage ring and fed it to Zhu Shen. He also ordered servants inside the kitchen to prepare extra meat dishes tonight.

"Master this…"

After eating the red pill, Zhu Shen could feel his body regaining strength as he looked at old man Ao for more explanation.

"This happened because you reached minor accomplishment in the dragon breath chapter."

Old man Ao explained absentmindedly. the confusion in Zhu Shen's eyes increased. Suddenly,

"Hahahaha… I can't believe this…. genius…"

Old man Ao's hysterical laughter can be heard inside his room. Old man Ao patted Zhu Shen's shoulder as he explained further,

"Minor accomplishment in dragon breath chapter means that your body power is equivalent to a disciple in spirit sensing stage…"

"Since your actual cultivation is not in the spirit sensing stage, dragon breathing technique will get energy from your blood to perform itself."

Old man Ao looked at Zhu Shen like some treasure. This made Zhu Shen feel really uncomfortable.

"So I have to stop practising the dragon breathing technique until I reach the Qi sensing stage..?"

Zhu Shen asked the old man in front of him, clearly disappointed. He just felt a real fulfilment after performing the dragon breathing technique. He was excited to perform it again.

"Why not… I will allow you to use the dragon breath chapter once a week… but I will not give you any blood replenishing medicine… you have to replenish all your lost blood energy naturally."

Old man Ao gave Zhu Shen strict order. Though with blood replenishing pills, Zhu Shen could use dragon breathing multiple times a week but rely on medicine was never a good thing.

After getting some answers related to cultivation, Zhu Shen felt satisfied and got up to leave the room.

"Thank you for your teachings master…"

Zhu Shen gave a bow to his master and said respectfully. Old man Ao nodded at Zhu Shen but suddenly remembered something.

"In tomorrows tournament, I want you to crush every single genius of the dragon palace… They dared to go against my word and set up this tournament…"

An angry look flashed in old man Ao's eyes. He was clearly unhappy with the sect master's decision to hold a tournament instead of giving direct place to his disciple.

This was the first time Zhu Shen saw old man Ao angry like that. He nodded firmly to old man Ao.

"In tomorrow's tournament, I will crush everyone…"

With those words, Zhu Shen left the room heading towards the training ground. Though his master was quite harsh on him, Zhu Shen knew that his master cared about him a lot too.

'They dared to disobey my master's order….'

ZHu Shen clenched his fist as he felt his blood burning.

'I will show them tomorrow… my master's teachings…'

Zhu Shen started practising on the training grounds.
