His hand froze, holding onto the Contemplation Map, not letting go.
Mo Hua held the Contemplation Map with both hands but saw Elder Master Xun’s reluctance, feeling puzzled, "Gentleman?"
Elder Master Xun snapped back, looked at Mo Hua with a subtle expression, hesitated for a moment before solemnly saying:
"Remember to return it."
"Do not, by any means, damage it for me..."
"Mm, mm." Mo Hua promised earnestly, "Gentleman, rest assured."
Though until now, any Contemplation Map seen or touched by him hadn’t remained "intact."
But those were others’ Maps.
And the ones from his own Sect, surely, would be different.
Receiving Mo Hua’s assurance, Elder Master Xun no longer hesitated and temporarily handed the Contemplation Map to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua solemnly accepted it and treasured it carefully.
Then Elder Master Xun gave a few more instructions before getting up to leave. Before departure, he said:
"Take care these days, recover well before returning to class, but make sure to catch up on any missed lessons."
"Cultivation is like rowing upstream, if you don’t advance, you will regress, do not slack off."
"Okay, Gentleman." Mo Hua responded obediently.
"By the way..."
Elder Master Xun was already standing, took one last look at Mo Hua, recalled something, hesitated repeatedly before confirming:
"Your Divine Sense, has it strengthened again?"
Before, when Mo Hua lay in bed afflicted by evil spirits, his Divine Thought was weak, thus his aura wasn’t apparent.
After chatting for a while, Elder Master Xun could clearly sense that Mo Hua’s Divine Sense was evidently more profound and refined compared to before.
"Yes, my Divine Sense accidentally broke through again..." Mo Hua said.
Even though anticipated, Elder Master Xun couldn’t help but his heart stirred.
Another breakthrough.
Though Cultivation doesn’t grow much, the Divine Sense keeps breaking through consistently, truly...
"Good, good,"
Elder Master Xun nodded cheerfully.
With this, his arrangements have taken a step forward.
The previously impossible seemed now, to have some prospects.
Elder Master Xun felt deeply gratified, full of hope and said:
"Recuperate well, wait till your Divine Sense is fine again, then come find me, I’ll teach you the eighteen-pattern formation..."
Mo Hua, however, shook his head, "Not eighteen-pattern."
Elder Master Xun was taken aback.
"I accidentally broke through a bit more..." Mo Hua said quietly, "Now it’s nineteen patterns..."
Nineteen...
Elder Master Xun felt a tightness in his chest, nearly lost his breath.
Divine Sense at nineteen patterns?
From seventeen directly to nineteen, breaking through two realms in one go?!
Elder Master Xun took a deep breath, filled with disbelief.
The Cultivation just reached the Foundation Building Middle Stage, yet the Divine Sense already neared the Foundation Establishment Peak level?
That boy named Zhuang... where did he find such a disciple, one who remains low-key, yet possesses such "defiant" Divine Sense talent?
