Chapter 206: Concentration & Willpower
The next day, Li Lang interviewed his companions and Xiao Dong about his theory of what made The Lingering Impact Technique special.
“I know you previously told me you were in a dream-like state during the latter parts of your breakthroughs and that you can’t really recall the details of what you dreamed about, but how challenging would you say it was?”
“Hmm, like I said, I don’t really remember. It really was just like a dream where I only have a fleeting memory of it,” Long Yi answered. “It’s the same for you, right Xiao Dong?”
“Yes. It became harder and harder to hold myself together the longer it went, so I barely remembered what happened towards the last half.”
“How were you feeling during the days leading up to the breakthrough?” Li Lang inquired despite having asked this same question regularly. Previously, Xiao Dong had always answered curtly with an “I’m fine.” For someone of his age, it was understandable that they would be embarrassed to show any weakness.
“Um, nothing out of the ordinary, as I had said. Just more focused, as I wanted to live up to expectations.”
“I see. I assume it was frustrating having failed for the previous few months?”
Xiao Dong carefully nodded.
“Well, everything turned out fine in the end,” Long Yi added. “Told you not to stress about it. Are you done with the questions, Li Lang?”
Li Lang gave a dismissive shrug to Long Yi before turning to regard his student more carefully.
