Chapter 31 – Merging of the soul (3) (2/2)

Ye Lang knew this principle, and thus he would cultivate bit by bit, improving himself bit by bit, and slowly advance towards his goal of being unequalled under the heavens.

Actually, he did not really want to be unequalled under the heavens. He just wanted to have enough strength that he was able to absolutely protect himself, and that would be enough for him. This was a certain strategy of his to set his goal higher, so that this way, he would strive unceasingly, and would not slack off.

This was a little trick in his life, and of course, it was also a little trick of many others. To want to get 80 points, you would have to set your goal to be 100 points.

Right now, he was currently cultivating inner strength and martial arts. From the day he regained his memory, he had already begun to cultivate.

Although this body of his needed to cultivate from the start, but because he already had the prior experience of cultivating, his cultivation speed this time was very fast, and these three months time were comparable to three years cultivating in the past. After all, at that time, most of his time was spent on learning and comprehending things.

Just that, this kind of standard was at most only enough for him to be able to protect himself, and wasn’t enough to be arrogant in front of other people. And also because he felt that one must be low-profile when conducting themselves, thus there existed no possibility of him being arrogant. Of course, this was just on the aspect of martial studies and there were no guarantees on other aspects.

He also did not choose to cultivate magic and douqi at the same time, and become some cool person who cultivated magic and martial arts at the same time. He merely cultivated ancient martial arts and inner strength.

Firstly, he did not want to divert his attention as he remembered one sentence which was left behind by the ancestor of the martial arts treasury – Do not bite off more than one can chew, keep to the working routine.

Secondly, he knew that no matter if it was douqi, magic or inner strength, they were all actually the same thing, cultivating one’s body and bringing out the potential within one’s body. What was different was that douqi emphasized on the cultivation of the physique, magic emphasized on the spirit. And as for inner strength, using his own words to say, it could be said to be a kind of douqi, just that inner strength was much more meticulous that even the arteries and veins needed to be cultivated too.

Of course, this was just the rough sketch of the situation. Actually using his words to explain douqi, the majority of it belonged to outer strength and minority belonged to inner strength, and there were very few parts where both inner and outer strength were cultivated. But without exception, there was completely no cultivation of arteries and veins.

Other than the above reason, there was actually also another very important reason, which was also the most main reason. Which was that this body of his had no innate attribute at all, and no matter whether it was cultivating douqi or magic, there would be no additional benefit at all. Like this, he might as well just cultivate inner strength, where there would be no additional benefit from innate talent.

These were all Ye Lang’s thoughts, but sometimes, the development of things would often become very weird, and even he himself would not expect it. And as to what he will become after he cultivated to the end, only by walking down the path step by step would he then be able to know the result. Perhaps, in the middle of the path, there may be a roundabout route, there may be obstacles, but about all those, he had at an earlier time had already been aware of them.

If he did not have any awareness for this, he basically would not need to cultivate anymore, and would just go and be a prodigal son only, where there would not be such a huge crisis to his life. Just that, once he loses the protection of Ye Family, he would not have any ability to protect himself anymore.

And about the martial arts prowess of Ye Lang, no one knew of it even after many years passed. This was not due to Ye Lang trying to hide it or anything, but it was just because the achievements he had for another aspect were just too outstanding and completely did not need to reveal the martial arts prowess he has. This was also a thing which he did not expect.

For him, there was a certain feeling he had towards his martial arts, like he unintentionally planted a seed and it grew into a marvelous plant. And about others knowing of his martial arts prowess, it was a thing which would happen many, many years later. The current Ye Lang was just conducting with low profile. Being a very ordinary prodigal son, a small little hedonistic son of rich parents where no one knew what kind of ability he actually had, because there was no chance for him to exhibit it, and he was also too lazy to exhibit his abilities.
