Chapter 252: Dual Cultivation (2/2)

'Ignore the pain. You've felt it many times already. Ignore it,' Alex said to himself and started focusing back on the cultivation.

He ignored the pain as much as he could, but as soon as he let his mind slip away, the ignorance would slip away as well and the pain would bring him jolting back to awareness.

He kept on trying to cultivate Qi many times after that, however, most of the time he would forget to ignore the pain.

'I can't keep on doing the same thing and fail without changing my approach.' He decided to try something else.

He started to split his consciousness. His mind was capable of focusing on 10 different things at once, although it was a little difficult. 2 things were a piece of cake.

He used a small part of his mind into ignoring the pain and the other big part to start meditating. He took deep breaths in and out. Soon, he was starting to feel like letting go of all control and just fall asleep.

But Alex kept the ignorance in check and made sure to never let go of it.

He failed to do that. In the end, he let go of the ignorance and the pain was back. Fortunately, this was enough time to fall unconscious.

Alex slowly opened his eyes as pains creaked throughout his body. ”OW! OW! OW!. Pearl stop,” he ordered. ”Meow,” Pearl said as he stopped cultivating.

The cuts all over his body disappeared and the body returned to its pristine state. In fact, it looked like he got a little bit stronger.

”Wait, did I miss the match?” he quickly turned his eyes towards the top right to check the time. It was 6:12 am.

He had woken up on time. ”Woah, so master was right. But why? Damn, if only she explained to me straight and didn't say anything convoluted like 'it's better if you find out on your own' sh*t,” Alex thought.

”Damn, isn't it time soon for us to leave for the tournament? I must be getting really hungry outside. I will eat something fast and return back,” Alex thought and quickly logged out.

He freshened up quickly and went to the kitchen as fast as possible. He reheated some of the foods that remained from yesterday's party and started eating them.

'I can't get hungry prior to 12 pm,' he thought and ate. After eating, he returned back to the game. Wan Li was still reading his book.

”Brother Wan, I think you should get ready to leave,” Alex said. Wan Li was distracted by Alex and looked up from his book. ”Did you say something brother Yu?” he asked.

”Aren't you going to leave? It's time for the competition,” Alex said.

”Huh?” Wan Li immediately looked towards the window and saw the morning light.  ”Oh, it's already daybreak,” Wan Li said.

”Yes, Brother Wan. So get ready, we are leaving for the competition.”
