The young man thought and thought but still couldn't figure it out. He turned around and ran in the direction Su Qingyu had left. Since he couldn't understand it, he had no choice but to go and ask her for an explanation.

Before long, the young man caught up with Su Qingyu, who was walking ahead, and hurriedly called out:

"Who have you been waiting for all this time? It's not that black-haired kid who didn't make the cut, is it?"

The young man knew that Su Qingyu was proud and arrogant, so he knew that asking her questions would be useless. Therefore, he deliberately spoke with a gloating tone.

"What's it to you?"

Su Qingyu coldly stared at the young man who had caught up with her.

Upon seeing Su Qingyu's expression, the young man immediately backed down.

He knew that when Su Qingyu didn't call him by his name, it meant she was serious.

But no one dares to mess with the serious Su Qingyu! The young man immediately put on a wronged look, lowered his head, and muttered softly:

"I stood with you for three hours, and I was just showing concern. Is it really necessary to take this so seriously?"

Su Qingyu stopped talking and her expression softened considerably. Clearly, the young man's words made sense. Perhaps she was being too sensitive. She was just asking a question, so why was she so nervous?

"Li Qiu is just an ordinary friend, no need to worry about her. Also, I won't be participating in this year's re-examination!"

Su Qingyu said calmly.

The young man called Li Qiu nodded in agreement:

"Looks like I don't need to participate this year either!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, clearly their previous unpleasantness had vanished. Li Qiu looked at Su Qingyu, who had a slight smile on her lips, her gaze complex, and murmured to herself in a barely audible voice:

"Ordinary friends?"

Li Sisui lay in his residence, still unable to face the fact that he had failed.

Recalling how he had put all his strength into striking the light shield of the preliminary examiner with his fist, which was covered by a thin layer of light, the bursts of hisses that erupted around him seemed like demonic sounds entering his ears and constantly swirling in his mind, to the point that Li Sisui began to doubt what all his efforts of the past six months had been for.

How did you cultivate such a shimmering light veil that's as fragile as paper, crumbling at the slightest touch?

Li Sisui couldn't help but recall Su Qingyu's words. It seemed that her prediction about him was indeed accurate. He wondered how Su Qingyu would mock him again when they met again, calling him a "good-for-nothing dog."

He's really bad. Originally, a punch had no effect, and Li Sisui was even planning to try kicking him.

Enduring the tidal wave of boos from those around him, he gathered the shimmering veil around his feet, only to see the predatory gaze of the preliminary examiner. His eyes twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth, speaking each word with venom:

"Next!"

Li Sisui then withdrew his outstretched foot and awkwardly disappeared into the crowd.

On the way back, I kept thinking that I must try it with my feet next year!

Three months have passed since the outer sect trial.

Li Sisui was quite discouraged after failing the preliminary examination.

However, this only made Li Sisui realize his shortcomings, and he worked even harder in his cultivation.

What used to be a routine of pretending to cultivate at noon but actually just dozing off has now become a real cultivation practice, with no opportunity to improve one's cultivation level being missed.

Li Sisui had not seen Su Qingyu since the outer sect trial, which made him feel a little disappointed. Had he disappointed her?

Perhaps, but all Li Sisui can do now is to devote himself 100% to cultivation and improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.

After three months of tireless and selfless cultivation, Li Sisui finally raised his cultivation level to the Initial Stage of Harmony, and his other foot finally gained a veil of light.

The further Li Sisui progressed in his cultivation, the more he realized that the vague descriptions of the cultivation techniques meant that, in reality, the results varied from person to person.

So far, Li Sisui has discovered that the light veils condensed by each person vary in thickness, brightness, and density.

Some people's shimmering light only covers their wrists, while others' shimmering light extends all the way to their arms.

Although they are at the same level, their defensive and offensive capabilities are incomparable in battle.

What's more, although their cultivation level wasn't much higher, the thickness of the light veil was almost tangible, and it covered their hands perfectly, like a pair of tailor-made gloves, making them follow them like a shadow whether they were striking with their palms or throwing punches.

However, the light veil that Li Sisui condensed could still be vaguely seen within the veil. Not only that, but the light veil was also like a boxing glove on his hand, making it look from a distance like he was holding a huge light bulb, which was simply unbearable to look at.

If it weren't for the extraordinary power of this shimmering veil, Li Sisui would have been too embarrassed to use it.

Now that he has broken through to the initial stage of the Harmony Realm, it's like having two light bulbs under his feet and holding a light bulb in his hand; it looks quite intimidating.

However, after failing the initial test, Li Sisui knew that this thin layer of light would hardly be effective in actual combat.

The fact that it shatters with a single blow is more symbolic, while the three light bulbs represent Li Sisui's cultivation stage, which is the Initial Stage of the Harmonious Realm.

As for the next stage, Pulse, it's still a long way off for Li Sisui.

Not to mention that the prerequisite for the pulsating stage is to cover the whole body with light gauze, the most crucial step is to guide photons into the body's meridians and circulate them. This step is the most critical and dangerous step in the pulsating stage.

Many clansmen stopped here, after all, the pain of body tempering and marrow cleansing is unbearable for ordinary people.

Many people are surrounded by a shimmering aura that seems almost tangible, yet they still cannot enter the pulsating stage.

Li Sisui realized that if he really followed the cultivation formula step by step, he probably wouldn't make much progress even by the time the Tu tribe reached the end of its lifespan.

It seems that matters of cultivation are a matter of opinion, and different people have different views on them.

Within the broader framework of cultivation, one must summarize a cultivation path that suits oneself.
