287 Chapter 280: The lecture of a true expert! (1/2)

”This... Was such a thing really possible?” Le Cenglei could not help but to feel like he was inside a fantasy dream!

He could still accept it if the other party was a peerless genius, able to identify objects and artifacts with a single lick of their finger. However, even if he was beaten to death, his entire clan whipped harshly and his life's savings was threatened to be sold out, he would still refuse to believe that anyone could cultivate the other two dantians inside their body, much less all three of them!

Just what in the world was going on?!

Was cultivation by defying both the heavens and nature so blatantly like this even tolerated?

As far as I know, everyone who tried to do so, either died from Qi deviation or crippled their cultivation entirely to become a wastrel!

”Pu!” Shen Long that was previously shocked could no longer suppress his emotions and laughed out loud, his long braided beard also seemed to dance wildly as well.

”H-Huh? Why are you laughing?” Both Le Cenglei and Ding Ziqing threw a horrified look at the other party, afraid that the sheer mental shock had made this powerful expert become retarded!

After all, that would be a great loss for the Jiu Empire!

”I could hardly maintain my act seeing how surprised you guys were! Ah! My heart feels content now!” Shen Long gave out a huge sigh of relief as he felt emotional.

He was also shocked to the extent of spurting out blood when he knew Duan Li cultivated using all three of his dantian back then. As someone who stood on the top-level of the Jiu Empire in terms of battle prowess, the humiliation of being seen with a hideous face like theirs now could never be washed away, no matter what brand of soap he tried to rinse it with!

Thus, making others experience the same thing was the best way to soothe this heart of his!

He turned to the Vice-Principal Zhang Xi that was standing proudly with his hands clasped behind his back. Nodding their heads together, it felt like some sort of bond was created between them!

From this point onward, they would eventually create a small circle comprising the elites of the cultivation world, naming themselves the 'Shocked to the Death' group, where solemn experts that would usually carry themselves with an air of authority and influence succumbed to the might of Duan Li's!

”He... had turned mental...” Le Cenglei swallowed his saliva, before shaking his head over the loss of a capable expert that was currently laughing out of his character.

Hais!

While they were indeed rattled to their core, they were already experts with a strong foundation in their state of mind. Thus, it didn't take them long for their emotions to become stabilized once more.

After all, this was the Tian continent where bizarre phenomenon occurs every so often. However, after seeing this, their world view was renewed into a clean slate, and their disposition grew more mysterious. They felt like even if the other party claimed that he could slap a mountain to pieces, they would no longer be shocked, as long as the other party could not turn a mere chicken into a formidable cultivator.

”Incredible...” Ding Ziqing could not help but to utter this word of praise subconsciously from her mouth.

”En. I'm glad that you guys understand now. Being one with nature is fine and dandy, but if one wanted to go a step beyond their limits, then they must take that leap of faith and forcefully cultivate with all their dantian, even if heavens themselves forbid!” Duan Li finished his sentence with a dashing look, as if an ethereal expert that descended from the immortal plane!

”I... I see..!!” both Le Cenglei and Ding Ziqing were moved by this as they gritted their teeth.

”During my younger days, I would stop at nothing to reach greater heights. However, after I achieved the Nascent Soul realm and hit my current bottleneck that doesn't seem to budge no matter what I did, I have grown complacent and comfortable, thinking that I did enough! Duan Li is right, if I wanted to go beyond my limit, I must defy my bodily limits first!” Le Cenglei thought to himself emotionally as a newfound determination burned defiantly within his heart!

”I was blinded by my status and disdained this young man because of his low cultivation. But who could have actually thought that his insights towards cultivation was even more profound than the top scholar within the Jiu Empire? His words deep and unfathomable, every sentence he said seemed to hit the fabrics of truths itself that was previously hidden from my eyes and senses! He is right, in order to push through the next stage in my cultivation, adhering to the natural limit of one's potential is but the perspective of a small, unambitious person!” Ding Ziqing's eyes flashed with agitation!

Thud!
