"You still remember him? You used to run into him at Dean Wan's place all the time?"
Ronan knew that Raven and Du Yong were theoretically both students at Zhi Xing Institute, but one was in the university division and the other in the middle school division, and neither went to school much anymore. That Welfare Institute run by Dean Wan was the only place they could have met.
Sure enough, Raven nodded. "Mm. He asked me about the 'Breathing Method' twice. I taught him, but neither time worked."
"..."
She was still somewhat hung up on it.
Ronan immediately laughed it off. "Yeah, he has a pretty bad temper and is a little neurotic. He really isn't suited to the Breathing Method."
Du Yong, the former president of the Mystic Studies Society at Zhi Xing Institute, was a mysticism enthusiast who had entered Dean Wan's tutelage alongside Xie Junping. He was currently a "Precept Holder" of the Creation Order. As Ronan had said, he was deeply passionate about mysticism, but his cultivation aptitude was fairly average. His mind was restless, and he could not settle down. Even under Dean Wan's guidance, and with such a wonderful opportunity as the "Dream Game," he had failed to awaken Extraordinary Power in the first wave.
In the end, he had crossed that threshold only by relying on the "Aromatherapy" invented by Octopus.
Ronan had targeted Du Yong because he matched the state of a "Rational Awakened"... though only at a relatively basic level. Had his repeated failures to break through, followed by borrowing Octopus's external aid, made him realize his own limits? Was that why he had now developed a taste for it and wanted to keep using this method to make rapid progress?
Du Yong was still busy at the moment.
