Chapter 233
After identifying his three targets, Lin Hui kept to his usual routine. He attended classes on time, helped Teacher Song Xinyan supervise martial arts training, and occasionally disciplined students who broke the rules.
The Body Tempering phase of his Typhoon Sword Technique remained incomplete. He had also begun attempting to cultivate the Star Breath Sword Canon, but its difficulty proved far more daunting.
Even though he had absorbed all the foundational knowledge and cultivation experience necessary to create the technique, practice revealed just how thoroughly idealistic the martial art's design was.
Only after feeling the planet's breathing and entering that state can one truly begin cultivating this method... On the drill grounds, Lin Hui stood watch over several students running punishment drills, turning his bottleneck over in his mind.
The Star Breath Sword Canon demanded entry into that wondrous state before cultivation could even begin.
During the memory infusion, Lin Hui had slipped into the state with ease. Achieving it independently, however, proved exceptionally difficult. He had tried for a month without a single success.
Is the planet's breathing the pulse of the earth? The flow of the air? Or the rise and fall of the atmosphere? Lin Hui sifted through the infused memories again and again.
The question had nagged at him for a long time, yet he remained utterly at a loss.
"The weather's been getting colder lately," one of the punished students muttered between reps. "When I went back yesterday, the roads were frosted over. Even fetching water at night is a hassle."
