About half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On the rooftop of Zhou Ze's villa, Luo Hua came to explain his situation to Zhou Ze after encountering a bottleneck.
"A Hua, you're quite diligent. In less than half a year, you actually forced your way up to Planetary-level third rank..." Zhou Ze said with slight surprise. "And you can endure loneliness pretty well, too."
Luo Hua scratched the back of his head, still as shy as ever. "I don't have much else to do now. I consume Muya Crystals every day and cultivate twenty-four hours a day."
Luo Hua smiled. "I'm used to it. When I was little, I got into a car accident and lost my legs. My parents and my brother were never home during the day, so I passed the time by reading books on stock investing."
"Honestly, cultivation is much more enjoyable than reading. I don't feel lonely or bored at all. I really enjoy this... feeling of growing stronger every day!"
Zhou Ze nodded with a smile. "Mm, being able to enjoy cultivation is something only the finest people can do."
"Patience is a good quality..."
After a pause, he added, "The step from third rank to fourth rank is a minor hurdle. There's no need to rush. From now on, spend half your time reading every day..."
Luo Hua froze. He had thought Zhou Ze would have him train Force Emission, blade techniques, movement techniques, and the like. He hadn't expected it to be reading.
"Teacher, reading?"
Zhou Ze nodded. "Read ancient texts. Read them every day, and understand their meanings through practical experience. Don't remain on the surface. Once you enter the first realm of heart cultivation—clarifying your heart and seeing your nature—you can begin cultivating my method."
