Inside the room, Shu Guan watched as his master and fellow senior brothers and sisters began to meditate and adjust their states in preparation for the battle that night. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, realizing he was probably the most nervous one among them.
Following their example, Shu Guan closed his eyes and silently practiced his cultivation techniques, soon feeling calmer.
"It's almost time."
He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard his master Li Zhixia's voice and opened his eyes. Feeling refreshed and clear-headed, his state of mind was as peaceful as the lake in their temple, no longer touched by any trace of nervousness.
He had completed eleven Small Circulations. If not for his master's interruption, he might have been able to break through to the twelfth Small Circulation.
