Yu Sheng was surprised—there was a cultivation method that could be completed without pills. His cultivation was laborious though with the help of pills. It was hard to believe that Shi Hu could be so formidable.
The System became more speechless: "You're to blame for ignoring it after the exchange! Unlike products of rapid completion, products of information depend on your own apprehension."
On hearing the System's words, Yu Sheng hastened to take out his Unfettered Ferry. As expected, unlike evil martial arts, the first page was meridian-collateral diagram, with a set of breathing methods.
He sat cross-legged, and tried to cultivate according to it.
His distant breathing made Shi Hu worried and abruptly darted from water. Shi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu.
"You're cultivating! I'm scared. Your breathing suddenly appeared just now, I thought you have an accident. What's this? It seems to be formidable." Shi Hu didn't stand on ceremony. He directly jumped on shore and picked up the Unfettered Ferry before Yu Sheng.
Shi looked through two pages of it and felt sparks flew before his eyes. He was completely speechless: "What the hell? I can't understand it at all. Just pictures and characters, and characters on pictures. Forget about it! I'm going to cook fish soup."
He was depressed--he hadn't gone to primary school, no, not even kindergarten, so he could not read at all. But he recovered after a second of depression, and made a fire to cook in high feather.
Gather pneuma to the conception vessel and governor vessel as well as to heart and lung, and cultivate the eternal body through spirit of the Heaven and the Earth.
Yu Sheng abruptly opened his eyes after cultivating for a whole Sunday, and felt his body was much lighter.
Shi Hu was speechless with his two hands pressing the stomach. Seeing Yu Sheng awake, he said: "Brother, you've finally waked. Drink some fish soup…"
Yu Sheng took up the bowl of fish soup and was ready to drink, only to find Shi was staring at him eagerly.
Yu Sheng was speechless and took a sip of the delicious soup. He handed over the remaining soup to Shi, and said: "I shouldn't eat too much after cultivation."
"What? Really? What a pity!" Shi Hu delightedly looked at Yu Sheng and hurried to drink up the remaining soup in the pot.
Yu Sheng was completely speechless. He asked Shi with confusion: "You're formidable, but why do you live such a miserable life?"
Shi was slightly stunned, and gazed at Yu with puzzle. He scratched his head, "Is my life miserable? I think it's great, except for the lack of money. It would be wonderful if I could eat roast duck every day."
"I…" Yu Sheng didn't know how to answer, and suddenly felt that Shi's state of life seemed to be great. "Yeah! It would be perfect if I could live my life as yours."
But Shi shook his head, "Why do you want to live like me? You're not me; and you're also formidable, brother."
"I'm formidable?" Yu Sheng was speechless—he couldn't even take one blow from Shi.
Shi said earnestly: "Yes, I can feel that you're very formidable. How to say? You're different from other people I've fought with. Everything is normal at the beginning, but then cowardliness would appear on their faces. But you're different…You didn't admit defeat though you know you were no fighting match for me."
"Didn't admit defeat…Can this be considered as formidable? The reason why I didn't admit defeat is I've left the room for manoeuvre, and it could at least save my life even if I could not defeat you." Yu Sheng was speechless.
He felt he was much more courageous due to the System's existence.
But Shi Hu said affirmatively: "No, no. This is not about your remaining movements, but born. It seems you have no intention to be defeated from the very beginning, and you've never thought about the sense of defeat. Bravo! I cannot do it. I just cried when I was a little boy and was bullied by others in my village, and then I strived to become strong but be beat again. I'm a man who knows clearly I'm no fighting match for the opponent but quietly makes efforts until I could defeat him; you're a man who knows clearly you're no fighting match for the opponent but still fights with him."
"Am I?" Yu stared at Shi with surprise for it was beyond his expectation that the slapdash Shi could find it. Gazing at his own hands, Yu was also puzzled: "Yeah, but why do I fight even if I know I'm no fighting match for them? The reason is probably…I know I couldn't defeat them even if I make efforts, so it's better to fight them now. This way, I could at least gain momentary gratification."
Shi stared at Yu with confusion, and asked after elaborate thinking: "Really? But I don't agree with you. You're interesting. Let's sleep early today. And we'll continue the exercise tomorrow."
"Continue tomorrow…" Yu Sheng's heart quivered and he directly fell to the ground.
