I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1123 - 590: After Cultivating a Spiritual Technique, I Feel Much More Energized
The cultivation quickly began. Before, he had tried it outside the academy, but never operated it completely like this time; instead, he only tried a part each time to verify its authenticity.
Now that everything has been verified, he dared to operate it completely.
However, the feeling of operating it was entirely different from before.
It gave him the illusion that his whole body was about to be torn apart.
Just when he thought about stopping, he suddenly realized that because it was in complete operation, and had already completed one small cycle, he couldn't stop at all now.
He must complete a whole Grand Circulation to stop.
Otherwise, if he forcibly interrupted it, he would definitely become possessed, which could vary in severity. In a light scenario, the injury might last a few days without being noticed.
If it's severe, then the problem would be bigger; even if the injury was serious, it would definitely be discovered.
'No, stay steady, I must stay steady!'
'Damn it, why didn't the book mention this? It must have been a deliberately left trap.'
Green Sorrow was extremely anxious inside, but he remained very calm while operating the "Yin Yang Formless Divine Skill."
Indeed, he couldn't stop, but fortunately, the operation was error-free. He was scared because the whole process was not within his control.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been worried at all.
As the operation continued, coupled with the experience from previous segmented experiments, the whole process became increasingly smooth.
He could even feel the powerful force the energy brought as it circulated within his body.
The only downside was the tearing sensation, but it didn't affect him much as it diminished while approaching the end of the operation.
"Withdraw the skill!"
After a Grand Circulation, the unusual feeling disappeared. Now, not only did he feel fine, but he was also refreshed, with a slight increase in his power.
As for the tearing feeling, he guessed it was because Yin and Yang within him were separating, and once mature, they would turn into the Wuxiang force, which would mean he had reached entry level.
He wasn't sure what Wuxiang force was as it wasn't written in the book, evidently deliberately hidden by Gu Shanhai in his eyes, but it's okay; once he entered, he would know.
"With my speed, to accumulate enough Yin and Yang to turn into Wuxiang, even with such intense Magic Power, would still take half a year." Green Sorrow sighed. He never expected the real time to be so long.
Bear in mind, this is just getting started; there's still a lot to go, such as Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Perfection, Great Perfection, Peak Great Perfection, and Grandmaster Perfection, etc.
Therefore, achieving cultivation success isn't easy.
"So, the best way is to wait for the main shareholder to go out next time and get auxiliary Magic from him." Green Sorrow knew that if he wanted to gain power far beyond Gu Shanhai's, he couldn't just slowly become stronger; he must get cultivation-accelerating technique from him again.
"Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens during this period."
At this moment, he sincerely wished the academy could remain as peaceful as before, not create any waves out of nowhere.
Actually, his impression of Gu Shanhai was not deep; the most he could remember was the mystery, as he rarely saw him, and if you didn't ask Little White, you wouldn't even know whether he was in the academy or had left.
So, his understanding wasn't much, leading to both fear and disdain, especially after acquiring the "Yin Yang Formless Divine Skill," this conflicting situation intensified.
"However, I always feel something's off somewhere." Green Sorrow had two thoughts in mind: one said everything was fine, while the other suggested he was ignoring something wrong.
The two thoughts quarreled, making Green Sorrow feel oddly strange, but he quickly suppressed it, feeling more clear-headed.
"Is this demonic possession?"
He read that demonic possession sometimes doesn't just cause bodily harm, but also mental injury.
However, thinking it through, that's impossible; if he really had a mental injury, how could he suppress it? A forcible suppression would have backfired long ago.
"It should be overthinking; a little rest will do." He didn't think too much about it.
Just ascribing it to being too tense from before and his own suspicious nature, resulting in two thoughts forming.
"If so, better to rest a bit first." Green Sorrow quickly lay flat in the guard's pavilion, which was actually a small room equipped with everything from bed to cupboard.
As for security, no need to worry due to the existence of barriers, and since the only threat, Ruben, was dead, there were no dangers present.
As a security guard, he was more of a token gift of allegiance rather than really tasked with security.
...
"So, they say a mentally ill person doesn't think they're mentally ill, perhaps it's this logic?" Gu Shanhai glimpsed at Green Sorrow's situation and couldn't help but smile.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Little White recalled a question, asking Gu Shanhai how a sane person could prove they're not mentally ill if they ended up in a mental hospital.
"How would I know? I've never been in one." Gu Shanhai thought it was an unsolvable problem.
After all, you really can't prove you're not mentally ill.
Little White, hearing this, pondered whether sending Gu Shanhai to a mental hospital would grant it some peace.
"I say, can't you hope for something good for me? Why think about sending me to a mental hospital?" Gu Shanhai couldn't help but retort, as the recent training intensity even stirred rebellion in Little White.
"Oh!" Little White wasn't the least bit guilty, insisting it wasn't a mental hospital but a sanatorium.
"A sanatorium? What sanatorium?" Gu Shanhai was somewhat curious.
Then, Little White revealed it was called Arkham Sanatorium.
"..." Gu Shanhai wanted to ask which Arkham Sanatorium it was, but whether it's the one from the DC universe or the Cthulhu universe, neither seemed friendly.
"Ha, you think of sending me to Arkham Sanatorium; let alone if you can afford it, going in with your deer head to handle the admission, you might end up staying a while first." Gu Shanhai scoffed.
At least he could prove he wasn't sick, but if Little White went in, it wouldn't dream of coming out for life.
Little White rolled its eyes, uninterested in dealing with Gu Shanhai, knowing it couldn't possibly actually send Gu Shanhai in; if it could, it wouldn't have to meet Gu Shanhai's training demands.
"Alright, stop chatting nonsense, you've only completed half of today's training, hurry up and finish it." Gu Shanhai sent Little White away.
Recently, under his urging, Little White's overall strength improved rapidly.
But Little White didn't move immediately, thinking how with its current extra training unfulfilled, it would have to roll into Yu Wang Jiu Ding in the evening as compensation.
Then, if it directly skipped the interim process and rolled into Yu Wang Jiu Ding at night, it could skip the extra training.
The more it thought, the more sense it made.
It felt like being scammed by the middleman and resolutely lay down in a corner of the lab, refusing to move.
"Your idea is nice; have you thought about one thing? If you don't train, what waits at Yu Wang Jiu Ding is filling up all proficiency, making it harder, not easier." Regarding Little White's line of thought, Gu Shanhai was somewhat speechless.
"Oh~" Little White didn't care anyway; after all, it wasn't a big deal, needing a roll anyway, so why not relax a bit.
"Good, I didn't expect you to spot this issue; the hardship these days wasn't wasted!" Gu Shanhai praised with words, but in reality, that meant the original share of ten thousand proficiency, once Little White was in Yu Wang Jiu Ding, he would raise to one hundred thousand.
In any case, Little White didn't know the truth, and it was Gu Shanhai's call; as for the proficiency panel data, he had backend access to modify it directly.
