Chapter 174: Sea of Chi (Part 2)
Lu Shu felt that he had not seen a different prize in an extremely long time… It was stinky tofu everyday, so much that he had subconsciously treated this lottery as a tofu buying system!
But just as this fruit appeared, Lu Shu’s surprise felt like a floodgate which just opened, and clear fresh water flowed through .
The mysteriousness of the refresher fruit aside, the celestial fruit was practical for training . This experience in the remains had taught him that training diligently was an act which complemented his development . The most effective was still annoying other people!
Lu Shu opened his system’s inventory and saw the name of the fruit – Chi fruit .
He was stunned . He understood what a celestial fruit was, but what was a chi fruit?
Lu Shu ate this white fruit in one bite and suddenly felt the fruit melt into a cloud of chi energy which entered his body . The chi flowed to his four limbs like a waterfall and it flowed back from the four limbs, eventually settling below his navel area . The settled chi swayed gently and it felt like a bundle of strength .
This was actually pure feeling, and it wasn’t practical, but Lu Shu felt extremely comfortable . Although nothing had changed, it seemed like some sort of pure energy was slowly dissipating and stabilizing!
He was rather curious as to what use this chi fruit actually had . After eating it, there didn’t see to be any obvious use, just like that flame in his heart . Although he acknowledged the existence of it, he didn’t know the use of it .
Lu Shu entered the lottery another 49 times, and he managed to obtain two chi fruits after 50 tries . The rest were all, as usual, stinky tofu .
Two chi fruits but no evident change in himself .
At 3am in the morning, Li Xianyi was already holding onto the middle school math book in his yard . He also had aunty Liu install a lamp outside their house so that he could conveniently read his

The moment Li Xianyi saw Lu Shu, "Continue to practice your picks . "
Lu Shu thought for a moment before asking, "When I was running around the remain for two days, it felt as if I could achieve the same effect as practicing swords . "
Li Xianyi nodded, "vitality is extremely wonderful and mysterious . Normal practitioners use magical energy to improve their physical aspects while what we use are will and determination . "
"So when can I breakthrough?" Lu Shu asked curiously .
"You?" Li Xianyi narrowed his eyes at him before reverting his attention back at his math book, "It’s still early, don’t look so far . Why not you shout the word breakthrough and see if you breakthrough? For things such as training, actions speak louder than words . "
Li Xianyi felt that he couldn’t allow Lu Shu to feel that his own training was too smooth . After all, teenagers had to have their characters tested . This was much better now compared to when he was younger . In the past, when he asked his master when he could attain aurablade, his master’s first words were twenty years for the foundation . . .
And that felt really sour . . .
But Li Xianyi also considered Lu Shu’s words seriously . Lu Shu never liked to ask people for help and he wanted to see if this kid could control his temptation to ask him how he could breakthrough earlier . To be honest, he didn’t have big tips but he did have small shortcuts which he felt he couldn’t reveal to Lu Shu yet .
"Okay," Lu Shu nodded his head and didn’t speak anymore .
What did okay mean?
Now that he had met Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, the old man was much more tolerant and this sort of minor incident didn’t agitate him .
He was clear that a person with determination and calm character could go far in terms of vitality . In the past, he spent two years to unlock his sea of chi using his will, and Lu Shu seemed to have more potential than him so perhaps a year and a half would be enough .

Looking at Lu Shu’s training reminded Li Xianyi of his past . In that era, Li Xianyi was so skinny that his teacher had to search the mountains for herbs to provide nourishment for his body’s foundation . Magical energy was scarce during that time, and without the help of herbs and medicinal baths, training wouldn’t have been possible .
At that time, his master loved toying with him .
"Little Xianyi, the day you unlock your sea of chi, I’ll buy you candy and bring you to a show in the city!" This was Li Xianyi’s greatest motivation at that time . The sooner he could unlock his sea of chi, the sooner he could eat candy and watch shows .
"Little Xianyi, you’re the cream of the crop in terms of aptitude . Unlocking your sea of chi will probably take about twenty years…" Li Xianyi never understood how other students were treated as unique and the best while he felt like he was being toyed with?!
"Little Xianyi, Master is getting old . Whenever there’s meat, let me eat more . One more for me and one less for you…" At that time, Li Xianyi didn’t dare to take a single piece of meat for half a year . But his master’s body was in great condition, radiating with a glow every single day .
But with the bare magical energy at that time, even the strongest could not withstand the test of time . In a blink of an eye, the young man had journeyed with his sword and managed to become the leader of the Golden Foundation, while all that was left of his master were memories and ashes .
"Little Xianyi, if you still don’t unlock your sea of chi, I’d get angered to death by you even if I don’t die of old age . All you do is play everyday instead of training with your sword . Seems like I must teach you a secret . Make a shout for every swing you make! Make ten thousand shouts and your sea of chi will be unlocked!"
So Li Xianyi gained motivation immediately after listening to the advice and after ten thousand swings later, nothing happened . When he looked for his master to question him, his master gave him another technique to stall him, saying that the previous technique didn’t suit him . After all, it was normal for different techniques to have different effects on different people .
Only after he grew up did Li Xianyi know how sly his master was . . .
Li Xianyi then realized that he himself was very old, to the point that he was living through his memories .
He remembered the past and said jubilantly to Lu Shu, "I’ll teach you a secret . Shout for every swing you make . Use your breathing to move your body, it could help with the breakthrough . "
Lu Shu took it with a pinch of salt and tried it with his sword, "Open!"
Just then, Li Xianyi who treated this as a joke initially realized that under this sudden shout, there were indeed thin clouds of chi flowing around . That chi was rather thick and real . The sea of chi was really opening!
Damn, how long did he take to unlock his own? Two whole years!
How long did Lu Shu take? Two months? Did his master not lie to him? He felt that his world had been a lie . . .
Lu Shu felt that after his pick, the originally silent and traceless chi started flowing again . He was curious as to what happened but all he saw was Li Xianyi angrily returning to his house to sleep upon dumping his math book on the table!
"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +999!"
Lu Shu felt rather strange, what happened?

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story. Cover art was done by: Micaiah William If you'd like to consider supporting my work, there is a link to my Patreon.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.

Reincarnated as a Warlock with zero skill
My previous life was just as boring as yours. I was a marketing manager for a flooring company. The biggest challenge? Would the latest colour be called "Grey Oak" or "Oak Grey". Then, tragedy. I was struck down in the prime of my life by a negligent delivery driver and a pallet of laminate flooring - which is significantly heavier than you think. So there I was, smeared on the floor, absorbed in my own self pity. Where would I go? Heaven? Hell. Did I care? Apparently that was not what fate had in store for me. Reborn in a world of dragons and fantasy, I became a Warlock. A pretty darn important one too. The problem, I had little to no affinity to magic and I spent most of my time doing my best to avoid danger. Danger however, would not avoid me. So, with my new life as an amazing Warlock you'd think it would be easy street right? Wrong. Forces gather to move against the Kingdom I am sworn to protect and, whilst my inward allegiance is to whomever is the victor, outwardly I must lead the resistance against the invaders. With my skilled companions Asha - a mage that can actually do magic and Torg - a swordsman sworn to protect me, I can only hope that they distract the enemy long enough for me to run away.
