Chapter: 2827
He felt the power of the medicine slowly fading, but there was still no sign of a breakthrough. As he noticed that most of the medicine’s strength was gone, he couldn’t help but feel pessimistic.
Then, when the medicine was down to less than 20%, something changed. He suddenly felt a sense of clarity, as if he had just woken up from the best sleep of his life. It was both strange and relaxing.
In that moment of astonishment, excitement rushed over him. “Breakthrough! Yingxiu! I really did it!” he exclaimed happily.
“Really, Dad? That’s amazing! It’s… great!” He Yingxiu replied, her heart swelling with joy. Seeing her father’s bright expression made her feel relieved, and tears filled her eyes.
She knew that breaking through the four meridians had been her father’s lifelong dream. At one point, everyone, including him, thought this day might never come. But now, it was happening!
As He Yingxiu cried tears of joy, He Hongsheng’s eyes also misted over. With a trembling voice, he said, “I never thought I, He Hongsheng, would break through the four meridians and finally honor our ancestors.”
His emotions overwhelmed him, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
He Yingxiu quickly asked, “Dad, how far have you progressed with the fourth meridian?”
He Hongsheng replied, “I’ve only passed 10%, but I know I can improve more in the future! The Ren Vessel is already a great success, and my Du Vessel has increased from 50% to 70%. The Ren and Du Vessels are the most important.”
been struggling to focus on martial arts like before. She used to dedicate her life to training, knowing it was essential for success. But after losing an arm, her passion shifted.
He Hongsheng noticed her silence and continued, “Yingxiu, I believe in your talent. Even without an arm, you can still improve your cultivation. You just need to refocus and train hard again.”
He Yingxiu listened but felt uncertain. She had not completely given up on martial arts, but her dedication was not what it once was. The path of martial arts requires full commitment, similar to how professional athletes train tirelessly to reach their peak.
For example, table tennis players often train intensely from a young age to prepare themselves for success in their twenties. They put in countless hours, rain or shine, to hone their skills.
Since her injury, He Yingxiu had not been able to commit to such a rigorous training schedule, and it weighed heavily on her mind.
After being a professional athlete, he is now a retired athlete. Most of his energy goes into taking care of Su Ruoli, leaving him little time to train. He can manage to train for two or three hours a day, but that’s not enough for someone who was once at a professional level.
This time, her father asked her to start training seriously again. He wanted her to return to the same intense training she had as a professional athlete. She wanted to train hard, just like her father suggested. However, she remembered her promise to Charlie Wade to go to Jinling and also needed to take care of her daughter, Su Ruoli.
So, she told He Hongsheng, “Dad, Master Ye said that if I agree to cooperate, I’ll need to take the ten best masters from the He family to Jinling. They will have to follow his orders at all times. Because of this, it will be tough for me to train as much as I used to.”
She quickly added, “But I will do my best to find time for training, so don’t worry about that!”
