nZhao Luo was very satisfied by feeling the changes in his body. The surge of power after this first assimilation was noticeable.

nThe happiness of achieving his first assimilation was already very overwhelming.

nEven though it was an accomplishing moment for Zhao Luo there was a worry that Zhao Luo had no way to solve.

nIt wasn’t like he was already out of ideas rather it was just Zhao Luo not even thinking much about it. He was just waiting for a way out without doing Anything at all.

nOne may think

n‘What could he be waiting for?’

nIt’s because Zhao Luo was waiting for an external factor to help him get rid of this worry as he never gave it a serious thought.

nThis worry was on top of his list right now and it was a very concerning obstacle.

nIt was moving his body once again.

nThe other was getting out of this cursed capsule.

nJust thinking about this was making him angry.

nEvery time he thought about getting out of this capsule he would remember a man.

nA man who was wearing a golden coat. The last glimpse of the disturbing face of this man before losing his consciousness.

nIt was the face of Takuma that would emerge in the mind of Zhao Luo whenever he would think about getting out of this capsule.

nZhao Luo had a fit of exploding anger written all over his face when the old man noticed the angry expression on the face of his disciple.

nWhat is troubling you?

nThe old man asked.

nZhao Luo was brought to present by his master’s question. He felt touched because his master realized his minute change in expression and was worried for him. So Zhao Luo forgot about Takuma and calmed down.

nHe didn’t know how he should explain to the old man about the things that he went through and what he is worried about. But he still started.

nMaster I am trapped in this capsule. Even though I was somehow able to achieve this in my mind and do so much. Sadly in the end all of this is just going on in a small world inside my mind. I want to go out. Meet new people and travel around the world as I used to before some idiot trapped me here. I just want to be Free.

n‘Sniff sniff.’

nZhao Luo poured all his sadness into the ears of his master.

nZhao Luo looked at his master to see if the old man was crying or if his beard was drenched in his tears but the old man was an Empera.

nAn extraordinary individual.

nA leader from the world of Gods as proclaimed by him.

nThe old man was scratching his right ear and yawning while reading from a book.

nAfter looking at this scene Zhao Luo was astonished.

n‘Why did you even pretend to be worried? Why did you even ask me for my troubles? Damn this master of mine.’

nZhao Luo wanted to punch the old man but he had already accepted him as his master.

n‘What is he even reading?’

nSo Zhao Luo waited and waited but the wait continued and turned into a soundless moment that prolonged for a while till Zhao Luo couldn’t bear it anymore and broke the silence.

nMaster what are you reading?

nZhao Luo couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

nSomething that you will be reading soon.

nThe old man replied.

nZhao Luo had succeeded in getting the old man’s response.

nSo did you hear what I said before?

nZhao Luo asked his master another question.

nYes I did.

nThe old man answered with a short reply.

nThen Then Then What is with your boring response?

nZhao Luo was quite hurt by the reaction of this old man.

nIt’s because your current state is better for you. So instead of being thankful you are complaining about your state. What a disappointment.

nThe moment the old man completed his sentence Zhao Luo fell on his knees.

nSomething popped into his mind. It was the last thing he could remember related to Takuma.

nThe talk he had with Takuma before he lost his consciousness was somewhat similar.

nZhao Luo couldn’t believe that the old man called his ‘worries’ a ‘Disappointment’.

nHe was hurt. He wanted to know how he was wrong.

nZhao Luo wanted answers. He wanted to know his fault.

nHow being unable to move my body is better for me? How is this state better? How?

nZhao Luo asked and it didn’t end here.

nIn this heated moment he said something which he would regret.

nDo you even know how is it like to lose the feeling of your younger brother for years?

nZhao Luo looked at the old man.

nThe old man after hearing his disciple talk about his younger brother shifted his gaze towards the area between the legs of Zhao Luo.

nThat action lasted for not even a single second but it was sufficient to let Zhao Luo have this thought

n‘Should I just kill myself?’

nThe old man didn’t want to be too harsh with Zhao Luo.

nSo that is the thing which my disciple was worrying about. You want to play with your younger brother who is trapped in an icy cave. Hahaha

nThe old man teased the young man. He joked around. He didn’t miss the chance of shaming his disciple.

nZhao Luo had never felt so embarrassed.

nThe old man stopped laughing after a while and looked seriously at Zhao Luo.

nWhy do you think you can achieve Naoli this easily? Even though for you it was a long time it is indeed nothing compared to the time it takes for one to master just a single stage of Naoli.

nThe old man asked Zhao Luo.

nYet he didn’t let Zhao Luo answer his question.

nIt’s because of this state where you can think for a boundless duration. You have already made a mental realm. The reason is that you don’t have to focus on your body. Just your mental state is conscious and your physical state is at rest. With all the concentration at one point the time it would take you to learn these things is reduced by so much that you can not imagine.

nAs a master is supposed to be. The old man lectured Zhao Luo.

nColour could be seen returning on the face of Zhao Luo after listening to his master’s answer.

nIndeed I was wrong master.

nZhao Luo was already reflecting on his wrong thinking.
