Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 9 What is practice?

When the words fell, you could hear a pin drop in the class.

The students looked at Lin Heng with a hint of fear in their eyes, and at the same time, the beautiful fantasies in their hearts seemed to have suffered a great impact.

Lin Heng looked at them, knowing full well that this might cause some students to develop a fear of cultivation, but sooner or later they would understand the horror of the cultivation world.

If you realize this at the beginning, you may be able to get out of it early and choose a path that suits you better.

However, what surprised Lin Heng was that after experiencing the initial fear, his classmates looked at him with even more enthusiasm!
All eyes were fixed on Lin Heng who was on the podium.

It seemed that at this moment, they were all deeply attracted by the person on the stage.

Lin Heng underestimated the strength of the hearts of today's young people and also underestimated their yearning for power.

Although his intimidation made people feel shocked, after they came to their senses, they wanted to practice even more and become as powerful as Lin Heng, or even stronger!

Seeing this scene, Lin Heng was a little dazed.

Because when he thought back to his past self, he seemed to have the same desire to become powerful as these little guys.

Practice!
If you don’t want to become stronger and don’t aspire to be powerful, what’s the point of practicing?
As for the future character of these children, isn’t this the meaning of the existence of these spiritual mentors?

A spiritual practice mentor guides spiritual practice and also guides the cultivation of the mind!
"Becoming a practitioner can gain mysterious and powerful powers, but correspondingly, this road will also be full of thorns and dangers!"

"Death and separation will accompany every practitioner's daily life!"

Lin Heng walked down the stage slowly. Although he was not good at speaking, he had an inexplicable attraction at this moment.

"Today, the reason why you can still sit here and attend classes peacefully, longing for the seemingly beautiful world of cultivation, is because someone is standing in front of the abyss, blocking the ugliness of the world!"

Lin Heng's face was serious, and he said word by word: "There has never been a peaceful time in this world! There are... but countless people carrying heavy burdens behind you and me!"

When saying this, Lin Heng seemed to remember something, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Instructor Lin... Instructor Lin!"

At this time, a classmate couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you are a member of the Dragon Court?"

"Not bad!"

Lin Heng replied.

The classmate asked again: "Then... the person who was killed yesterday was also..."

silence.

Lin Heng looked at the student who asked the question with an indifferent expression.

When the student saw Lin Heng's eyes, his head shrank immediately and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But Lin Heng didn't care, he looked away, lowered his eyes and said: "He is my teammate!"

The classroom fell silent again.

Because everyone also noticed Lin Heng's abnormality.

Their comrades died, and no matter how heartless these students were, they could vaguely feel Lin Heng's sadness at this moment.

"Instructor..."

"Can you tell us about Dragon Court?"

Lin Heng paused slightly when he heard this.

He looked at the person who spoke, and found that it was Zhang Junmo.

Lin Heng looked at Zhang Junmo deeply, then looked at the other classmates in the class. Seeing that everyone had an expectant expression, he did not refuse and began to introduce Long Ting to everyone.

Naturally, everyone knows the nature of Dragon Court.

However, what the students want to know most is naturally what kind of powerful people Longting has, or what kind of people the leaders of Longting are.

Although all those present were ordinary students, Lin Heng did not deliberately conceal anything and revealed some information that could be made public.

Many heroic deeds of the powerful people in Longting were told through Lin Heng's mouth, which caused the students to be amazed.

Finally, Zhang Junmo suddenly raised his hand, and when he saw Lin Heng looking at him, he started to ask.

"Coach Lin, can you tell us how many people die in Longting every year?"

"Why ask this question?"

Lin Heng's eyes looked at Zhang Junmo calmly, and the latter did not avoid his gaze at all and looked into the former's eyes.

"Because of curiosity!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the class, which had previously been filled with heated discussions, suddenly fell silent.

Lin Heng's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"I know the word 'curious' may sound disrespectful to the victim, but I am curious."

"It's not that I don't respect them. On the contrary, I respect every member of the Dragon Court and every sacrifice. In my eyes, they are all heroes."

"But that's why I think their sacrifice shouldn't be unknown, so I want to learn as much as possible about them."

"I want to know what they fought for, I want to know why they died!"

After hearing this, the students in the class, who had been tense, finally relaxed a little, and some even breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Junmo’s words “out of curiosity” almost made the students’ hearts stop.

After hearing what Zhang Junmo said, Lin Heng's eyes relaxed a little, and at the same time he recalled the information about Zhang Junmo in his mind.

B-level supernatural qualifications, good talent.

Maybe... it will be a good seedling!
"Every year, the Dragon Court recruits up to a million people, and the sacrifices..."

“Nearly 200,000!”

"Thirty percent of the victims died while performing border defense missions."

“The remaining 70% met with misfortune during law and order operations across the country.”

"In addition to these 200,000 casualties, there are countless more seriously injured and disabled!"

Many people were confused when they heard this.

Because words like this may sound scary at first, but it's just like seeing the casualties reports after some disaster on the news.

For most people, the number of casualties is just a number, and at most it can only cause a sigh of regret or a moment of silence in their hearts.

But not many people can understand what this number means.

People always subconsciously avoid questions about death and tell themselves that such things are too far away from them.

Lin Heng's face showed a look of reminiscence.

"Once upon a time, I was sitting in a classroom like you, listening to the spiritual teacher talk about the spiritual world, and my heart was full of expectations for the future."

"When we graduated, a total of fifteen students including me joined Longting!"

“Today, five years have passed.”

Lin Heng looked at the classmates in the classroom, as if he was looking at his former classmates.

His voice was a little low. "Of the classmates who joined Dragon Court with me back then, only three are left now..."

At this point, he paused and said, "There are only two left!"

After hearing this, if everyone was still very confused before, it is completely different now.

Zhang Junmo looked at the classmates around him.

Suddenly, it occurred to me to compare it with Lin Heng's experience.

If all the students present today joined Dragon Court, then in five years...

The originally lively class suddenly became quiet.

Of the students who were packed into the front row, only a few were left in the end.

A sense of sadness rose in everyone's heart.

Zhang Junmo thought of the pause when Lin Heng spoke earlier, and immediately realized that the other party wanted to say three people at first, but changed his words to two people.

That is to say, the Dragon Court member who was killed by the beast spirit before was the third person!
Thinking of this, Zhang Junmo couldn't help but feel awe in his heart when he looked at Lin Heng again.

We have been classmates for four years, brothers for five years, how deep can this relationship be for nine years?
However, the other party had just died the night before, and today Instructor Lin was already standing at his post, fulfilling his duties.

He is working hard to be a spiritual mentor, and he is earnestly using his personal experience to teach this group of young people in front of him.

Such a person deserves his admiration!
At this time, Lin Heng's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Having said so much, I think everyone should have realized one thing."

"That's the world. It's not as peaceful as you see it!"

"The hundreds of thousands of victims of Longting's security operations every year are the most powerful proof of this."

"So, the moment you embark on the path of cultivation, you will be faced with a problem."

"When secular laws and moral principles can no longer restrain practitioners, what should you do?"

"Practice..."

"What exactly is it?"

Lin Heng's voice gradually became a little higher, and at the same time, it also brought the students' thinking to new problems.

"There are many systems of cultivation. For example, cultivators, psychics, magicians, physical cultivators, ascetics, etc."

"And the two main cultivation systems in our Celestial Empire are the cultivators and the supernaturals!"

"Objectively speaking, each cultivation system has its own merits, and there is no question of which is stronger or weaker."

"It's just that some cultivation systems may not be perfect in many aspects because they were created not long ago."

"However, whether it is for a long-standing cultivation system or a system that has not yet been perfected, the core concepts of our Heavenly Kingdom cultivators can be applied."

"The so-called practice is to cultivate the truth!"

"Seek your true self, discard the false and retain the true!"

“No matter which system you choose, you will gradually find your own path through learning and imitation. Everyone is a pioneer on his own path of cultivation!”

"..."

The content of this class seemed quite boring, but everyone listened very carefully.

Zhang Junmo wrote down every word of Lin Heng. Through his explanation, he gradually gained a clearer understanding of cultivation.

As the bell rang, everyone's first training class came to an end.

Seeing that Lin Heng was about to leave the classroom, Zhang Junmo hesitated slightly and suddenly stood up and called him.

"Instructor Lin!"

When Lin Heng heard someone calling him, he immediately stopped and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Excuse me, why did you join Dragon Court in the first place?"

I didn't expect Zhang Junmo to ask this question suddenly, but Lin Heng didn't think much about it and answered directly: "I used to be the same as everyone else, yearning and looking forward to entering the mysterious and cool cultivation world and becoming a powerful practitioner!"

"When I am able to do so, I will marry a beautiful wife and protect my dear relatives and friends!"

“So, I joined Dragon Court with a group of like-minded classmates.”

"what about now?"

Zhang Junmo asked again, "If you were asked to choose again now, would you still choose to join Dragon Court?"

"meeting!"

"why?"

Lin Heng took a deep breath, his expression became a little solemn, and he said: "Because of glory!"

Zhang Junmo looked at Lin Heng for a long time, then he smiled and asked, "Then, instructor, how can I join Dragon Court?"

"You want to join?"

"miss you!"

"why?"

Zhang Junmo was silent.

In my previous life, I was a muddle-headed otaku, and I was confused until my death.

Now that I have a new life, even if it isn’t a glorious one, it should at least have some value, right?

At the very least, people should have a goal in life and a clear path in life.

Only in this way will my second life have meaning!
Zhang Junmo said solemnly: "There is no special reason."

"I just think it's boring to be alone in this life!"

"It would be interesting if I could meet more respectable and lovely people, wouldn't it?"

When Lin Heng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

The smile was gentle and natural, and looked much friendlier than during class.

"A lovely, respectable person?"

"It seems like you are quite interesting."

Lin Heng walked out of the classroom, but the voice came from afar.

"However, if you want to join the Dragon Court, you can't just talk."

"You should awaken your superpowers first!"

"It's too early for you to talk about joining the Dragon Court now!"
