Chapter 303: Meditation
Old man Tian looks impatient. His hands were itching to take Lu Chen down again. Lu Chen nods as he brings his hands closer to his body.
"No! Like this, you brat!" Old man Tian gets into the stance again, showing it to Lu Chen. His body becomes much smaller than before. He looks 2 times smaller than before.
However, Lu Chen felt it. There was a lot more pressure coming off of him. He went back to normal and looked at Lu Chen, "Now you do it."
"Alright." Lu Chen gets into position, compacting himself. Old man Tian nods, "Now throw out a punch!" The moment Lu Chen punched, it was quick and accurate. Like a spear!
"You got the form down. But you're only- never mind. You got other baggage that needs to be dealt with." Old man Tian scoffs and sits on the bench.
"What do you mean baggage?" Lu Chen didn't look irritated as before. He was more confused.
Old man Tian glares, "Can't you see the bloodlust leaking out of you every time you get angry?" Never did he expect Lu Chen to be so oblivious to what's going on around him.
"Bloodlust?"
"The amount of bloodlust you release is crazy. You're going to kill somebody if they make the smallest mistake." Old man Tian shakes his head at this. Even when Old man Tian called out to him, he could feel a large amount of bloodlust coming out of his voice.
"..." Lu Chen didn't say anything. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
"Don't you dare think what you did was wrong. I'm warning you, kid. The more you go down this path, the more you become lost" Old man Tian shakes his head.
"...Why should I let those people live?" Lu Chen didn't understand. Lai Dingxiang shouldn't be alive. If he lets people like that roam around, they'll definitely cause problems later on.
Why not just end them right then and there.
"There's a limit to how much you can do. How can you be the one to judge those people? If you keep killing them just because you think they're bad, then you'll become like them."
Old man Tian's expression was emotionless. Like he was reminiscing about the past.
'I become like them?' How could he become like Lai Dingxiang? Lu Chen didn't believe it. He was the one taking out the garbage. How could he become one?
"Do you think you're some superior being that can kill anybody you want and get away just because they're evil?" Old man Tian shakes his head, "If you're going to continue this way, don't bother training. All of it will go down the drain."
'All of it was worthless?' How could his training be worthless? He had grown a lot more powerful than before.
"If you want to change, follow me then." Old man Tian sat on his knees. He starts meditating.
Lu Chen didn't think about it as much. He was going to leave too. However, he was hesitant. Hearing about what old man Tian said, it wouldn't hurt to try.
"I'm going to do it. This is only for myself and myself alone!" Lu Chen sat next to old man Tian and got into the same sitting style as him.
Old man Tian instructs him, "Control your breathing. Keep a pace you can manage." Giving him the instruction, Lu Chen slowly regulates his breath. Elder Wu had told him how to do this before.
"Feel everything that's around you. Notice every single thing and vibration throughout your body." As Lu Chen follows his instruction, Lu Chen starts to grow deeper and deeper into his body.
The wind was all around his body.
The ground vibrated around him.
Lu Chen's body felt so calm and easy.
After a few minutes, the two of them stopped.
"Keep doing that for a few more days, and whenever you feel the bloodlust rising, do it again." Old man Tian sighs and then scowls, "Now get out of here! Stop bothering with my sleep!"
Old man Tian didn't say more as he went back to sleep. Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't say more. He felt his head has cleared up a lot more now.
As Lu Chen left the park, old man Tian grunts, "What? Do you want to have a fight with me as well?"
