Chapter 1108 - 1107: A Perilous Moment!
But Ba Lv is always the same, although she completes the assignments Jiang Cheng gives her every day, she does nothing but eat and wait for death, which Jiang Cheng finds unbearable. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Thus, he decided to prescribe a remedy for Ba Lvluo from the ground up, hoping to inspire confidence in her in front of Yanran.
Now, after listening to Jiang Cheng’s enlightening words, Ba Lv started to reflect.
Who doesn’t have self-esteem?
As a young girl, Ba Lv is an important figure within the Black Exhaust Group at a young age; though Black Exhaust Group is not the biggest or the most formidable organization, it is definitely a top-tier organization within the Dark World.
In such an organization, there are many various talents.
And Ba Lv within this organization surpasses most people and ranks just below the elders of the Black Exhaust Group, her status is already high enough.
Many older veterans within the group are ranked lower than her, and they must respectfully consult her when they meet her.
All of this, coupled with her exceptional abilities, led to her arrogance.
If she hadn’t met Yanran, she might have thought she was one of the most powerful figures in her world, not the very top, but still extremely formidable.
But she met Yanran, and in her usual interactions with her, she witnessed her fellow disciple’s astonishing skills; a few months ago, during their fight, they were evenly matched.
It has only been a few months, and she is no longer Yanran’s adversary.
The contrast compared to her time at Black Exhaust is too great for her to accept at once.
So she gradually became depressed and started to procrastinate.
And she found a good excuse: compared to Yanran, she is just a normal person, it’s natural to fall behind her.
So she became increasingly complacent.
Now her teacher’s words gave her a wake-up call.
She used to be someone others admired, even those picky teachers couldn’t stop praising when training her, they said among the students they trained, she was the most outstanding.
Her once cherished pride? Did she just trample it underfoot?
Initially, she not only sweat for her dignity but also shed her blood.
Should she let all this pass so easily?
Ba Lv raised her head, looked at her teacher, although she had many things she wanted to say in her heart, she suppressed herself and said just one sentence: "Teacher, I understand. Rest assured, I won’t disappoint you."
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, this was the very result he had been painstakingly talking toward.
A strong hint needs no repeated striking.
He believes once his promising disciple identifies the root of the problem, she will quickly resolve it from the ground up, reawakening her own human brilliance.
Listening to Jiang Cheng’s words, Ba Lv re-recognized herself, she was indeed talented in ways far beyond others.
Though she may not match Yanran in certain areas, the gap isn’t as large as she imagined, as long as she works hard, Yanran won’t be able to leave her far behind.
Confidence returned to her heart, Jiang Cheng’s words were like a beacon, pointing the way forward.
That teacher, rest assured, I won’t let you down, wasn’t something she said impulsively.
In her recent reflections, she thought back to her childhood, recalled her experiences within the Black Exhaust Group, remembered her performance after becoming Jiang Cheng’s student.
She is filled with confidence about her future, which is why she said those words to her teacher.
"Oh dear, why do I feel somewhat uneasy?" Yanran interjects playfully.
"You just wait, Yanran," Ba Lv replies: "I will continue to chase you, as long as you dare relax, I’ll keep you on your toes, hmph!" Ba Lvluo issues a challenge to her senior.
"Alright, I wish someone would pressure me, and not let me relax," Yanran responds with a laugh.
She’s delighted, the Ba Lv in front of her is the person she once cherished.
Back then, during their first duel in the outskirts of a small town on Delmar Planet, Ba Lv’s eyes held a hint of defiance even when she gazed at people.
Facing her teacher-student pair, she even dared to fight one against two, filled with a fighting desire.
Back then she was like a small mother living in the jungle, both proud and filled with combat passion.
Yet, somewhere along the way when they were together, unknowingly she became a cat.
The once haughty and ambitious aura had vanished.
Yanran looked worriedly, but she is not someone who loves to talk, or rather, she is not good at speaking, so she doesn’t know how to start.
What she could do was show more warmth and care for her.
Now things are better, after her teacher’s guidance, the Ba Lv she used to know has returned.
Seeing Ba Lvti raising her head, Yanran is genuinely happy for her.
Ba Lv mentions that since Jiang Cheng counseled her that day, Ba Lvluo has visibly become diligent, taking advantage of the ample time during the lengthy trip, she continuously practices.
As time has passed, they have been flying continuously for a long time, they spot a small planet ahead, without humans or supplies, yet they decide to stop and rest for a moment," Jiang Cheng spontaneously suggests.
Over these days, his two female disciples have been diligently practicing, which delights him as he recalls himself once training hard like this, without such diligence, how could one find footing in a universe filled with strong competition?
Nonetheless, constant practice isn’t necessarily beneficial, everything has a limit, crossing it can be counterproductive.
Spiritual Power training especially requires relaxation.
Determination is commendable, but overdoing it isn’t.
Thus, Jiang Cheng hopes Yanran and Ba Lvti can relax a bit.
"Alright, after consecutive days of nonstop training, I indeed feel a certain sense," Yanran remarks.
"You’re just feeling it? Just now, my Spiritual Power almost couldn’t retract, if not for the teacher tapping lightly on my forehead in time, I nearly went crazy," Ba Lvti sticks out her tongue, the recent incident was indeed dangerous, thankfully Jiang Cheng had been watching them closely.
Upon noticing Ba Lvti’s abnormal expression, he promptly intervened to stabilize her condition.
Yanran and Ba Lv are flying slowly in mid-air, searching for a suitable place to land.
Manifesting in front of them is a planet mostly covered in ice and snow, despite a long search from above, all they see is white.
