Chu Lingguang knew there was always someone better. He wouldn't be surprised if someone surpassed him in the Heart Guarding Skill, or in any other area for that matter, even leaving him completely in the dust.
He had dull aptitude, and in an academy teeming with talent, trying to come out on top was little more than a pipe dream. The only thing he could do was guard his heart when others surpassed him, not letting their glory disrupt his mind or affect his cultivation.
So, when that glimmer of hope re-emerged within him, Chu Lingguang immediately returned to his cultivation, searching for the key to the Connection. He hoped to use the Day and Night Breathing Technique to create a current inside his body that could run a full Circulation.
Although he couldn't find that subtle feeling and no current was generated within him, Chu Lingguang, his mind now clear, remained focused on his search.
That evening.
