Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 86 Dean Lu's Story
"How about it?"

Soon, Lu Mingrong finished his training and stood up. His face was not red nor he was out of breath. Instead, his face was glowing.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xuan said, "The force was powerful, the energy flowed through the whole body, and the bones rang with one punch. I guessed correctly. The bone tempering method that Dean Lu practiced is very special, with a progressive effect. It was not obvious at the beginning, but as time went by, the bones were tempered more and more. Otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand such a powerful punch just now."

"You... can see this?" Lu Mingrong looked surprised.

Even Yu Longqing praised his bone tempering method, which was terrifying. However, this set of techniques also had a fatal flaw, which was that it took a very long time. Just like him, when Chen Xiao was the fascia realm, he was already in the jade bone realm, the viscera realm, and the jade bone realm...

Now the opponent has also reached the peak of the Jade Bone Realm, and he is still... in the Jade Bone Realm!

It was as if he had died in this realm. Not to mention other things, the peak level alone had trapped him for ten years... From the beginning of entering this realm to now, it has been no less than thirty years!

It is for this reason that I feel that breaking through is difficult and hopeless.

I didn't expect that after just one set of boxing, Teacher Zhang could see through it and described it exactly. Even Lu Mingrong, who was always calm, found it a little unbelievable.

Zhang Xuan continued, "This set of skills has great benefits. It can temper all the bones in the body and reach an unimaginable level. No one in the same level can beat it. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. If the body joints are not trained properly, they will also become stiff. It takes at least two hours of soaking in the potion every day to relieve the pain..."

Lu Mingrong's whole body was shocked.

If I was just surprised just now, now I am terrified.

Everyone knew that his bones were as hard as steel, and that he could challenge the Soul Realm with the Jade Bone Realm. However, few people knew that he needed to soak in potions for a long time every day in order to keep his body moving freely.

In recent years, this symptom has become more and more serious. In order to avoid being discovered, he rarely accepts disciples and stays in seclusion all day long. He claims to the outside world that he is trying to reach the spirit realm, but in fact he is trying to suppress this disease.

When Wu Yunzhou and others discovered Zhang Xuan's genius and asked Teacher Zhou Xu to call him, he was already soaking in the potion.

"Just now your punches were powerful, but your flexibility was much less. From this, I can see that your condition is very serious. If you don't find a way to adjust, it will be almost impossible to break through the Jade Bone Realm!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head.

It's not that there's something wrong with the technique, but that something went wrong when Dean Lu was practicing, causing the joint cartilage to completely solidify.

"This……"

Clenching his fists, Lu Mingrong bowed to the ground after a while, and said sincerely, "Please help me, Teacher Zhang. If you can really solve this hidden danger and make a breakthrough, I will immediately give you the horoscope."

I had some doubts about him before, thinking that he was young and full of energy, and that what he said might not be right. But now, I have a vague feeling that I might be able to help him solve the hidden danger!
After all, even the best doctor in Baiyan City couldn't see anything about his condition, but the man in front of him just punched him a few times and he understood everything clearly, as if he had been by his side for more than ten years. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked.

"If you want me to help you, there are two things you need to know in advance."

Zhang Xuan said, "First, I want to know why you made mistakes in your practice! As the dean of Baiyan College and a teacher, you are here to teach and answer questions. You have practiced this set of skills for decades, and you must have discovered something wrong long ago. Why did you continue to practice it?"

"I……"

Lu Mingrong was silent.

Zhang Xuan continued, "Secondly, I want to read this set of bone-hardening training techniques. Only by knowing where and how the mistake was made can we find the problem and prescribe the right remedy to solve the hidden danger. If you can't do these two things, then I can do nothing to help you."

Even if the Library of Heaven's Path could see through all flaws, it was not omnipotent. It didn't know where his skills had problems, and it couldn't solve them either.

With his brows furrowed, Lu Mingrong did not answer in a hurry.

No matter why he went wrong in his training or the method of tempering his bones, they were his deepest hidden secrets and he was unwilling to reveal them. But what the other party said was also true. Without an explanation, no matter how skilled the doctor was, he would not be able to cure it.

"This set of skills is on the third floor of the academy's library. Anyone who becomes an elder can practice it. However, I am the only one who has mastered it in the past few hundred years..."

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingrong sighed, took out a book from his arms and handed it to him, saying: "It doesn't hurt to read it to you once, but it's not that easy to learn."

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Zhang Xuan nodded. As his fingers touched the book, he whispered "defect" in his heart. The next moment, hundreds of books containing the vitality of destiny quickly gathered together in the Tiandao Library, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a book.

His eyes fell on the cover - "Tidal Bone Tempering Method".

As soon as he thought about it, the flaws in the content of the technique entered his mind in the blink of an eye, allowing him to understand it completely.

In just a short moment, the man in front of him had completely mastered the martial arts he had practiced for decades. After Lu Mingrong made a decision, he no longer concealed it and explained, "As for why I made a mistake, it was probably a momentary impulse when I was young. It's been so long, and it's nothing to tell you about it."

"About forty years ago, a genius suddenly appeared in Baiyan City. He was ranked first in the Yuanchi evaluation for a hundred years. After he began to practice, he made rapid progress. In just half a year, he broke through the accumulation of energy and successfully impacted the physical body. In five years, he practiced to the peak of the internal organs realm, and in six years he entered the jade bone realm!"

"At the age of 24, he had no rivals among the younger generation. He was even ranked among the top three in the surrounding ten cities. He was extremely popular for a while... He attracted the attention of countless people. It was really impressive."

"This……"

Zhang Xuan showed admiration, "I didn't expect Dean Lu to be so talented. No wonder he can manage an entire academy..." Lu Mingrong shook his head, "This genius is not me, but City Lord Yu Longqing!"

"Huh?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.

Just as he was wondering, Lu Mingrong continued, "At that time, I had average talent and was not very famous in the academy. When I was the same age as City Lord Yu Longqing, I was only in the early stage of the fascia realm. No one paid attention to me. I was considered a nobody! Until one time, when I went to Huaiyuan Mountain for a trial, I encountered danger and was saved by a girl from my family."

"She is very beautiful, gentle, and very simple. She treats me very well and always puts me first in everything... As we get along, I gradually fall in love with her."

"But I was very poor at the time, and I didn't have any power or family support. I wasn't the best among the many teachers in the academy. But I really liked it and was willing to give everything for it."

At this point, Lu Mingrong fell into deep thought: "She said... if she wants to be together, she must at least have the cultivation of the peak of the internal organs realm, and must have a dowry of tens of millions to be a match for her. So I practiced day and night, participated in the most dangerous trials, and killed the most ferocious source beasts, just to improve quickly and accumulate the resources needed to propose marriage..."

"Four years later, I prepared everything and finally reached the peak of the Viscera Realm. Just when I was planning to propose marriage, I discovered that while she was having an affair with me, she was also living with someone else..."

"Ah this..."

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

No wonder he didn't want to say it. After all the trouble and four years of hard work, he created a grassland...

"Could it be..."

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized, "The person with her is Yu Longqing, City Lord Yu?"

It is normal for a young hero with unparalleled talent to be cheated on.

"of course not!"

Dean Lu Mingrong: "If it was him, I would have accepted it if he knew he couldn't win, but he is a cowardly and frustrated little guy. He followed me in the trials before. I took him hunting and helped him pass the assessment. His cultivation is only at the fourth level of the Source Pond Physical Realm. If he was thrown into the crowd, he would not be noticeable..."

"Then..." Zhang Xuan blinked.

Since they are not as good as you, why would the other party look for him?

Lu Mingrong: "I was also very confused and wanted to ask her about it, but she just didn't show up and was avoiding me on purpose!"

Zhang Xuan guessed: "It seems that she must have some unspeakable secret, either due to family reasons or other reasons..."

Lu Mingrong nodded: "Yes, I thought so too, but unfortunately her family is very powerful and I couldn't meet her by force, so I had to force my way in. But my strength at the time was far from enough, so... I used the secret method to forcefully break through the Jade Bone Realm!"

"You've seen my method of tempering bones. It requires a little bit of patience to become stronger and stronger. But at that time, I was eager to find her and didn't care about so much. I directly tempered it with violence..."

Zhang Xuan sighed.

He had already memorized this Tidal Bone Tempering Technique by heart and was naturally aware of its flaws.

A little bit of practice can have amazing power, but if you rush for quick results, it will easily lead to solidification in the joints. Once it is formed, it will be too late to regret.

Unless you can break through the soul realm and slowly nurture it with the power of the soul, maybe it will take ten or twenty long years to solve this problem. Otherwise, don't count on it in this lifetime.

But... he had been practicing incorrectly, and his state of mind had been affected. It would be extremely difficult to break through his spirit and soul.

"My reckless and crazy training made me extremely powerful even in the Jade Bone Realm. I relied on brute force to break into her family and finally met her..."

Lu Mingrong's face turned pale and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but speculate: "Could it be... that she is seriously ill and bedridden, so she is making all kinds of excuses and not wanting to meet me?"

"no!"

Lu Mingrong turned his head and looked at him, his eyes full of sadness: "She is already pregnant with that guy's child, and... has already given birth! And... the child is already three and a half years old!"

"???"

Zhang Xuan could not help but stand there in a daze.

I thought it was a love story, but after all this trouble, the hat is really well tied...

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan realized: "You mean, you prepared for four years to be worthy of her, and she had a child with that guy who was weaker than you, who is three and a half years old?"
