Chapter 187: Start Line on the Horizon
The children all stared with their mouths agape at the unexpected turn of events. Their teacher’s Qi spontaneously increased in intensity. It hadn’t directly affected or hurt them in any way, but it didn’t change the fact that it caught them all off-guard.
“Teacher Long, what is happening?” Xiao Dong shouted from amidst the shocked flock of students.
“Keep moving back. Li Lang is breaking through!”
“Isn’t that a good thing? Why do we have to retreat?”
“When he finishes, he probably won’t be in complete control of himself after breaking through. He’ll likely jump up and release his pent-up power. It could easily hurt you, so you kids can’t approach him!”
Without a word, Wei Ping had already begun dragging one student after the other back into the house. If he wasn’t so mindful to be gentle with them, he likely would’ve picked them all up at once.
Despite his efforts, the curious children still poked their heads out from the building to continue spectating. Instead of pushing them back inside, Long Yi and Wei Ping positioned themselves between them and Li Lang.
Everyone then watched as they felt the ambient Qi twirl around them, rushing toward the man experiencing an untimely breakthrough.
It wasn’t exactly Li Lang’s fault, though. Spontaneous breakthroughs happened when one had adequate accumulation and luck. Some said it was when a cultivator had an epiphany. It was the preferable method of breakthrough, as opposed to the forcefully induced method. The only downside was that once it started, it couldn’t be stopped. Otherwise, it could cause severe damage to the cultivator.
After all the training he had done in the past few years, combined with the creation of his first artifact, Li Lang obviously met the first condition. However, right now, Li Lang’s mind was racing to understand what the trigger was. At the same time, he tried to memorize his experiences.
They do say teaching is the best way of learning. Is that simply it, or did my accumulation hit the limit, causing this breakthrough?
With so many thoughts going through his head, Li Lang visibly frowned with a scrunched-up expression.
