บท 8: Aren't You Tired?
If it was the usual Luo Jiutian, he would have gone back to rest by now. Her talent was higher than others, her strength was stronger than others, and even her hard work was not inferior to others.
In the past, she was often the last to leave the training room, but she never knew that a girl called Xiang Xiaowan would come to the practice room to secretly cultivate in the dead of the night.
But this time, Luo Jiutian's heart was in a mess. Although it was said that outer sect cultivation methods like sword cultivation were more physically demanding than other inner sect cultivation methods, the spiritual power consumption of inner sect cultivation was extremely terrifying. Therefore, those who cultivated inner sect cultivation techniques would often enter a state of fatigue earlier than Swordsmen.
However, Xiang Xiaowan didn't seem tired at all. It even gave people a feeling that her mental state was better.
How could Luo Jiutian not be surprised? She really wanted to go up and ask, but she didn't do so. Firstly, Luo Jiutian felt that it was selfish to disturb the cultivation of others in order to solve the doubts in his heart. On the other hand, Luo Jiutian couldn't bring herself to do so.
She was used to being the first place and had long been used to leaving only a distant back view for others. Now that she was asked to ask others for advice, she felt very embarrassed.
Luo Jiutian hesitated for a moment before leaning against the wall with his sword. While she was recovering her strength, she was also waiting silently. After Xiang Xiaowan pulled out of the state of cultivation, she would probe Xiang Xiaowan as if nothing had happened.
An hour later, Luo Jiutian had fully recovered.
Two hours passed, and a trace of anxiety appeared in Luo Jiutian's heart.
Four hours had passed, and Luo Jiutian was stunned.
Six hours passed, and it was dawn.
As the bell for the morning class rang, Xiang Xiaowan bounced up from the ground, her face full of panic: "I'm going to be late again!"
At this moment, Luo Jiutian, who was holding her sword, had fallen asleep.
Xiang Xiaowan was slightly surprised to see someone sitting in the corner. Wasn't this…Was she the First Senior Sister of Combat Class One, Luo Jiutian? How did she fall asleep in the training room?!
Xiang Xiaowan was in a mess. She had casually made up a lie yesterday, and there was actually someone who would do it. Moreover, she was a super genius recognized by the entire Yunlai Academy.
She could not accept this at all.
After a short daze, the morning class bell once again pulled Xiang Xiaowan back to reality. Only then did she realize that she had no time to think about other people's matters. She should hurry to class!
Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaowan hesitated for a moment. She took off her coat and gently covered Luo Jiutian's body. Then, she left the practice room in a hurry.
A few minutes later, a low voice came from the practice room. Although the voice wasn't loud, it made Luo Jiutian, who was already in a deep sleep, slowly open his sleepy eyes.
When he saw the faces of his classmates, Luo Jiutian was stunned:
"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What am I doing?"
The students were dumbfounded. Even teacher Shi Yunsong was a little surprised: The number one genius in the entire academy actually fell asleep in the training room?!
Although no one said that, this thought was written on everyone's faces. Luo Jiutian could tell right away. She stood up in a panic and quickly explained:
"I, I practiced all night last night. When it was dawn, I thought I might as well not go back to sleep.
"So I sat here for a while…"
Upon hearing this explanation, the students immediately revealed expressions of realization.
"So Senior Sister Luo cultivated for the entire night!"
"Nonsense, Senior Sister Luo must be cultivating. Do you think she's that idiot Xiang Xiaowan?"
Even his teacher, Shi Yunsong, immediately believed this explanation. He nodded slightly and said:
"Luo Jiutian, although you have always been very hardworking, I have to criticize you today.
"The body is the foundation of cultivation. If you cultivate with all your might like this, you're neglecting the essentials and pursuing the trifles."
"Recuperating your body is the long-term plan. Don't aim too high and pursue trifles."
Although Shi Yunsong was a narrow-minded person, he wasn't wrong when he reprimanded Luo Jiutian. He didn't want the best genius in his class to overtrain and cause the opposite effect.
If he could successfully teach Luo Jiutian this year, he would definitely be promoted to the position of dean. At this critical moment, he couldn't let Luo Jiutian do anything reckless!
Hearing Teacher Shi's words, Luo Jiutian nodded in shame. In the eyes of the crowd, Luo Jiutian had taken Teacher Shi's words seriously. But only Luo Jiutian knew that she was ashamed because no one questioned the lie she had just made up and immediately believed his words. It made her feel even more ashamed that she had fallen asleep in the practice room.
Seeing that his words had touched the depths of Luo Jiutian's soul, Shi Yunsong nodded with satisfaction and smiled:
"Go back and have a good rest today. Don't go to class for now. Anyway, you've already learned it a long time ago."
Luo Jiutian didn't decline. He nodded slightly and prepared to leave the training room.
She had been sitting here for the whole night just to wait for Xiang Xiaowan to finish cultivating. Who knew that she would fall asleep while Xiang Xiaowan had not finished cultivating?
As soon as she lifted his foot, Luo Jiutian kicked something and looked down.
This was... Xiang Xiaowan's jacket?
Luo Jiutian's face turned red. Obviously, she had already guessed that the jacket was originally meant for her. Not only did he fall asleep, but Xiang Xiaowan also saw her. Moreover, she even covered her with a "blanket". It was simply embarrassing!
Luo Jiutian quickly picked up his coat and walked toward the All-round class. She had to explain clearly to Xiang Xiaowan that she really didn't fall asleep, she just dozed off. Moreover, she would not allow a third person to know about this!
..
At All-round class, Zhang Xuan finally stopped writing.
Xiang Xiaowan, who had been waiting silently, saw that Zhang Xuan had stopped writing. She immediately sat down respectfully and pricked up her ears to listen to today's lesson.
After a night of cultivation last night, Xiang Xiaowan's Holy Light Control Technique actually broke through again and directly reached the third stage. Even a fool would know that he was lucky to have a truly awesome master!
Seeing Xiang Xiaowan's serious and expectant look, the loyalty level above her head had already risen to 71, Zhang Xuan smiled:
"You should have already reached level 3, so I'll tell you something important today."
