"Ah!!!" A bloodcurdling scream came from the room next door.
Chu Huai Xu rose from his cushion, thoroughly satisfied. Then, with a cheeky grin, he imitated the scream in his own room. "Ah!"
Old Chu, who'd been tormented half to death by this "period cramp," was now so thrilled he could burst! The sheer satisfaction made his scalp tingle!
"That feels better, that feels better." Chu Huai Xu said with a beaming smile as he opened the door and headed for the Cold Pool.
Inside the small room, Xu Ziqing lay sprawled on the floor, dazed and looking utterly incredulous.
"This Cultivation Method is so torturous!"
His gaze fell on the Booklet, and suddenly he understood.
"The two seniors on the first and second pages must have failed to master it! That's why they left behind those words!"
"This Cultivation Method is so difficult and torturous. Only the third senior managed to master it, so he left behind four words—Peerless Divine Art!" Xu Ziqing's imagination ran wild, and he gradually became convinced of his own theory.
Somehow, the logic seemed to hold up.
He had figured it out. If he couldn't endure the pain and circulate his energy for one full cycle, then all the pain he'd suffered beforehand would have been for nothing.
"No wonder Senior Brother told me to prepare myself." Once again, he felt his Senior Brother's kindness.
Thinking of the way his family had died, Xu Ziqing, who bore a deep blood feud, now lived solely for revenge.
He gritted his teeth and began practicing again.
Chu Huai Xu had spent Experience Points to level up as soon as he started, mastering the technique right away. His Pain Threshold had increased along with it.
Xu Ziqing, on the other hand, hadn't achieved anything in his studies.
