Chapter 86: Disturbances out of the Building

The thin Primary exploration on the Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow was now like a mountain pressing in his hand. He took a deep breath and turned to watch the green trees outside the window for a while. The green stained his tired and dry eyes, and he once again bowed his head to continue the silent reading. Soon, he then looked up again to the white roof to have a rest.
When he started to read these cultivation books, he could only do so for a short while, several sentences at a time; while now his reading time got longer and longer. He still didn't know what he had read when back at Lin 47th Street, but he could vaguely but clearly felt that he was able to read more day by day.
It was not his resistance to the Martial Arts of Talisman or the ink words in the books becoming stronger and stronger that helped him read longer, but that, his willpower was sharpened tougher and tougher in this war. Moreover, he kept looking for an appropriate time to stop reading and rest, and for probable means that might allow him to maintain longer reading time.
”If you keep reading like this, you will die.”
Said the female professor who had been tracing the regular scripts in small characters at the clean table by the side of the window. She slowly raised her head and put her elegant pen on the inkstone to look at Ning Que's shakey body.
Ning Que slowly closed the book and struggled to turn to the female professor by the window, he then gave a deep bow. Xie Chengyun at the end of the bookshelf also gently closed the book to give a polite nod to the professor with a perfect courtesy.
As the only two students left on this floor, they knew there was always a female professor sitting by the window who seemed to be depicting her own regular scripts in small characters. Whether someone passed out or anything else, she would not raise her head. This gradually became the landscape in the corner and eventually became a non-existent existence.
Yet, today the female professor finally put aside her pen and began to speak.
”The Cultivating books on this floor are all written with ink by the Grand Cultivators accumulating Psyche Power. That is to say, each letter in these books is the best of the Divine Talisman Masters.”
The female professor looked at Xie Chengyun sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said, ”Both of you are of great perseverance, and you are even the most perseverant students in the past decade, but you must know that it's useless to see through the Divine Talisman Masters' fine works only by perseverance. What you need to do is to immerse yourselves in the books, to see through the books, and to understand the books. You must have the ability to learn the Seethrough upper state.”
And then she turned to Ning Que, and slightly pityingly said, ”Xie Chengyun has passed the Perception State and will step into the No Doubts State so that he can maintain for a longer time. Besides, what he comprehends in the library is more or less beneficial for his cultivation, while your physique is not suitable for the cultivation. It isn't good for you to struggle to hold on, only relying on perseverance. Why not... leave earlier?”
Ning Que stood motionlessly, keeping silent for a long time. He suddenly deeply bowed down to the female professor, and sincerely asked, ”I want to ask you, professor, are you at the Seethrough upper state?”
The female professor shook her head.
Ning Que understood and continued to ask, smiling gently, ” Could you ever reach the Seethrough upper state when you entered the Academy at the very beginning?
The female professor smiled, understanding what he meant.
Ning Que again deeply bowed down and sincerely said, ”I would like to continue reading for a couple more days.”
The Professor glanced at him in admiration, and said, ”You still have to study within your ability after all. If you blindly persist, don't mind my stopping you in due course.”
”Yes, professor.”
Shortly after this dialogue, Ning Que and Xie Chengyun again fainted one after the other. The four diaconates wearing Academy robes had long before become accustomed to them. They even clearly knew their weight. They picked them up respectively with stony faces to go downstairs, too lazy to call out anything.
Visible from the second-floor window of the old library, the forest was dense and green in deep spring. The female professor viewed the scenery through the window and shook her head with a smile, and continued to trace her regular scripts. At that time, the old library's instructor came up, gave a respectful salute, and said, ”Professor, I have something unclear.”
”Recently I've also found something wonderful that I could not understand,” said the professor, looking at him mildly.
The instructor sighed and said, ”I have observed both of the two students for some days. Xie Chengyun has a basis for the cultivation, and with his heightened willpower he is able to stay for many days upstairs. Though it's not simple, it's, after all, not rare. While Ning Que, he was indeed vulgar, why is he allowed to stay for such a long time? This is unreasonable ah.”
The female professor stared at the ink on the pen on the inkstone, and after a moment of silence, she said in a soft voice, ”I remember that the professor once said many years ago if a person's willpower was strong enough, then even God would be frightened... The child named Ning Que is probably one of those people with strong willpower.”
