Chapter 102: The Hard-working Youth in the New Era

Right now.

Li Zang had already arrived beside Zhang Xuanguang, who was thousands of miles away, and said lightly, "Old Zhang, what are you looking at?"

"Alas!"

Zhang Xuanguang was frightened and turned around. Seeing that it was Li Zang, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was wondering who it could be, who could appear beside him silently, and it turned out to be the Emperor... This was not surprising.

“Emperor…”

Zhang Xuanguang seemed ready to kneel, but the next second he found that his old legs were too straight to bend. Seeing Li Zang's nonchalant look, he immediately changed to bowing and bent at 90 degrees: "Emperor, what do you want?"

"No instructions, I just came out for a walk because I was bored at home, and I saw you by chance, so I came over to see what you were doing."

Li Zang was really just walking around. In fact, before he set off, he was thinking about going to the beach of an island on the South China Sea to bask in the sun, but that would be quite boring. He happened to see Zhang Xuanguang, so he strolled over here.

The Earth is too small... The spiritual energy supply of the Exiled Land alone is still too little...

Going abroad is just like walking out of your room into your living room. You can stay anywhere.

"Um...Emperor, actually, I was watching people practice swordplay."

As Zhang Xuanguang spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to a few thousand meters away, on top of a small hill, on a piece of snow, there was a young man practicing sword.

Li Zang followed Zhang Xuanguang's gaze and saw it.

On a small hill, under a bare tree, a boy of about twelve or thirteen was holding a straight wooden stick made by breaking off the end of a broom, and was waving it seriously.

He held his breath and used the wooden stick in his hand as a sword. Every swing of the stick was like swinging the sword, and every swing of the sword was taken very seriously, as if he was treating the most pious thing in his life!

Li Zang could tell at a glance that the boy was practicing swinging the sword seriously a thousand times in one breath to get the knack of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique.

This sword is wielded quite well!

The so-called seriousness is really idealism, and all you need to do is pay your respects sincerely.

However, the boy’s cultivation was not enough. After only a dozen sword strikes, his face turned blue and he was on the verge of collapse.

Li Zang could see that this young man had already mastered the practice of Fa Tian Jue and his spiritual power was quite pure, but his level was not yet high enough. According to the young man's level, he would have to practice Fa Tian Jue for at least more than a month before he would have any hope.

The young man endured the pain of holding his breath and forced himself to swing out with the sword again. In the end, he could not hold on any longer and fell backwards into the snow.

After falling down, the young man couldn't get up for a long time. His chest heaved violently and he was gasping for breath. His hands were still shaking as he gasped.

Judging from the traces on the snow around him, the boy had failed at least dozens of times, and there were human-shaped pits everywhere...

Li Zang looked appreciative.

It is indeed difficult to do it in one breath, and swinging the sword requires even more seriousness, which makes it even more difficult.

With more than a dozen swords, the boy's performance was already quite impressive. It was enough to show that he was serious and had broken through his limits at least several times.

The diary about the four skills has only been out for a short time, and the boy’s performance is quite eye-catching!

Look at others, so vigorous at the age of twelve or thirteen... I also played with sticks when I was twelve or thirteen, but I could only destroy flowers and plants.

"This young man is very determined." Zhang Xuanguang said with emotion.

Li Zang watched the young man rest for a moment, stand up, adjust his state for a moment, take a deep breath, and then start swinging the stick again, nodding in approval.

"Are you planning on taking in a disciple?"

"I have...somewhat of this idea."

Zhang Xuanguang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Now the spiritual energy is revived, but if I want to practice, the little spiritual energy that has been revived is really not enough. In one breath, the spiritual energy in the area of ​​several miles will be exhausted, which will easily affect other people's practice."

"So, I'm thinking about whether I should accept him as an apprentice and teach him seriously. This young man has a tenacious spirit. It's quite rare for someone to have such a character at this age."

Zhang Xuanguang didn’t accept disciples before because the world was in the Dharma Ending Age and it would be useless to accept disciples.

The tiny amount of spiritual energy in the world is only enough for ordinary people to break through to the Qi training stage. The Qi training stage does not increase lifespan much at all. At most, it can only nourish the body and keep away from disasters and diseases.

A hundred years later, he will have to see his loved ones off again.

Only a fool would do such a thing.

But in this new era, everything is different.

Everything is getting better and better, the spiritual energy is reviving, and all things are full of vitality.

Everyone has the possibility to embark on the path of spiritual practice and gradually make progress.

Although not everyone will achieve success, there will always be a small group of people who stand out and keep up with the footsteps of this old guy.

Zhang Xuanguang still remembered Li Zang's instructions, so he was not in a hurry to practice. However, after resolving the life crisis, it would be too idle if he did not practice.

If you can live several hundred more years, then it is not excessive to take in an apprentice now while you have free time to honor yourself and to relieve your boredom.

“To do something knowing it’s impossible and to persist despite repeated failures is truly what one can call perseverance.”

Li Zang said softly: "Future success must be built on the basis of countless failures in the past. The current failure will help him master the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique at the fastest speed in the future."

Zhang Xuanguang nodded and murmured, "Yes, you know, there are always some people who are born different. The same sword moves will shine more brightly in the hands of such people."

"Old Zhang, accept him. This disciple is not bad, but as a master, you can't be too stingy. You have to prepare a good sword for him."

Li Zang looked at the boy with a smile, and couldn't help but recall the ordinary days he had experienced.

It can be seen that the boy's family is ordinary, otherwise he would not be practicing with a broom handle. If he had money, he should at least buy a sword. As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Swinging a sword is indeed much simpler than swinging a stick.

This is really a bit like myself when I was a child.

You know, it was not easy to find a straight stick when I was a child. Apart from breaking the broom at home, it was almost difficult to find a better target.

Zhang Xuanguang was quite happy to hear that Li Zang also had high hopes for this young man he favored.

What does this prove? It proves that great minds think alike!

Zhang Xuanguang suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Li Zang, and asked, "Emperor, this Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is your work, right?"

"Um, what's the problem?"

Li Zang was not surprised at all that Zhang Xuanguang could see it.

This old guy is very fashionable and is very proficient in using electronic products. He can watch TV series, read novels, and look up information.

How did Li Zang know? The old man went online on the first day he came back. He watched him the whole time with the Eye of Eternity. How could he not know...

Why are you staring at an old man?

It's because he was afraid that this old guy would not be obedient. When he saw the spiritual energy revived, he couldn't help but swallow all the surrounding spiritual energy in one breath.

Nowadays, anyone who can use the Internet and is not illiterate can easily obtain the contents of those middle school diaries from various channels.

In one of the articles, Lao Zhang should be the person who felt the most involved, although the role he played was the cultivator who was struck by lightning.
