25 Sincerity (1/2)
The training of Dean didn't stop until noon time, he had rested for a total of 6 times and read a total 117 pages out 365. He was almost half done with the book, Gilet who was giving him this training was truly amazed when he saw this, he was shocked then delighted because the more capable Dean was the more he had the confidence for the future.
As Gilet shrouded Dean with his heavenly qi to protect him from the residual heat that remained in the library, Dean focused on recovering his heavenly qi and as he was doing this Gilet put out the flames that he was putting out and said ”Dean, what page did you reach this time around?”
Dean with his heavenly qi returning in him sat straight on the chair and said ”Currently I am on page 117 of 365.” He lifted the book in front of him and checked if he got that right and after confirming that what he said was right he nodded his head for confirmation.
”So you're at page 117, but like I told you before you have to comprehend and understand what you are reading in order for it to be effective, with that said recite what's the content of chapter 2 page 43 to 67 and tell me what you understand about it.” taking the book from Dean Gilet kept it on his hands to make sure what Dean was about to say was from his memory alone.
Clearing his throat Dean didn't hesitate and started reciting the contents of the given chapter and page ”Basic of the Spirit Cultivation: chapter 2: page 43 to 67 states that the mind is something that needs to strong and with the strengthening of the mind the spirit follows.
”The spirit must be strong to create a strong artifact, cultivating the spirit is hard and arduous and would need a lot of time, if the spirit of the artificer is weak then the divine inscription will also become weak and unstable so training the spirit is important.”
”Page 43 to 67 have long and words and paragraphs but comprehending those words and reciting those words only needs to be short, the shorter you comprehend them the better because that means you're able to understand it to the point of simplicity.” Gilet didn't even check what was written oin the book but he already that what Dean said was correct.
”You did good kid, but don't let this get in to your head, with your speed of reading and control your heavenly qi you won't even be able reach the 7th level of Body Refinement before 6 months, in this little training of yours I already know what you're missing.” Gilet stood up from the chair and went out of the library.
Dean was about to stand up and follow but his mind and body was too exhausted to even stand up, he was feeling the hunger in him and it's unbearable for him to keep it down, he needed to eat something for him to regain his strength.
Not long after Gilet went back to the library and saw Dean trying to stand up ”Don't try to stand up, your mind is still tired and you have no energy in you, eat this and regain your strength.” Gilet threw a fruit the shape size of an apple with a color of peach, the fruit like object smelled sweet making Dean's mouth to water.
Without hesitation he threw the fruit inside his mouth and after he did a bitter taste spread in his mouth which caught him off guard, Dean coughed and was about to spit the fruit but found a hand was covering his mouth.
”Don't, that ”Bitter Peach Apple” will make your body feel full for a while, that is the only thing that I can give you for now before going back. If you spit that out I will burn you with my flames.” Gilet said as he waited for Dean to swallow the fruit back in.
Swallowing the fruit Dean glared at him and shouted ”What was that!? Are you trying to kill me? I was unable to breathe for a minute there what we…” his mouth was once again covered with an arm which made him unable to speak.
Gilet returned the glare that was given to him and said ”Watch your tone Dean, you are my disciple so listen to me I am not doing this to make things hard for you, I need you to become stronger and I know you also want to.”
Gilet took his hands off Dean's mouth and went to the chair that he was originally seating on. Dean lowered his head and said ”Sorry about that… Master, I was just caught off guard.” Dean realized his wrongs and apologized, Gilet was his Master and a master is someone like a parent to anyone, they hone their disciple for the future and guide them to a path for the future and Gilet said that it was for him so he didn't have anything to say about it and he was in the wrong.
