As the fall passed by, the winter and the Great Trial got closer and closer.
The Tradition Academy again welcomed a long period of peace. Chen Chang Sheng cared about the peace so much that he used all his time on xiu xing and studying. Xuan Yuan Po did the same. Although Tang Thirty Six missed the prosperous world outside of the school a lot, he was forced to work hard because of his two friends.
Inside the library, Chen Chang Sheng absorbed starlight to purify every night. Although there wasn’t any change in his body or any progress in his xiu xing, he was not frustrated at all. From meditation to absorption, he did every step seriously and without error.
Xuan Yuan Po’s right arm gradually healed and the healing became faster and faster. If he could recover before the winter and begin practicing the xiuxing methods under Chen Chang Sheng’s guidance, he might actually catch the Great Trial.
Tang Thirty Six never stopped xiu xing. The amount of his qi and the purity consistently increased. His xiu xing became more and more stable. He had already arrived at the Gate of Heartseeking Stage, yet just like the other youngsters on the Honor Roll of the Green Cloud, before being fully prepared, he absolutely would not take the risk to take that step.
From the upper stage of Meditation to Heartseeking Stage was the most hazardous and dangerous barrier in xiu xing. No matter how talented the xiuxingists were, they still had to prepare for a long time. Even Qiu Shan Jun used one full year, and that was on top of the foundation that the Li Mountain Sword Sect gave him.
As of right now, Tang Thirty Six was definitely the first person in the Tradition Academy to face the dead or alive test. As the first student in the Tradition Academy, Chen Chang Sheng of course wouldn’t watch him fight alone. In fact, Chen Chang Sheng already prepared a lot.
