Chapter 1905: Chapter 336: The Rising Wave

No one can predict what the next scene in life will be; those you think are just a temporary transition may accompany you for a lifetime.

What you believe can last forever might vanish in an instant. So someone said that the only constant in the world is perhaps change.

Nearing February, restless emotions started spreading among the Tang Clan disciples in the back mountain.

The indescribable irritation turned into nameless anger, and as the weather grew warmer, the friction in the back mountain increased.

Not only was there tension between the two groups of different origins, but even among the Tang Clan brothers, there were some unpleasant encounters.

Especially after the instructor’s mediation and punishment according to the academy’s rules, the dissatisfaction intensified.

Late night, Room Two, Courtyard A of the back mountain

Tang Tianyu, with his exhausted body, stepped into the small courtyard and saw the bright lights in his house. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly, and the fatigue on his face seemed even deeper.

He took off his soaked clothes, rolled them into a ball, and squeezed out the water. Muttering to himself, he shook his head and moved to the large water jar in the courtyard, scooping up water with a gourd and pouring it over his head.

Spring water flowed down his bronze-colored muscular physique, washing away not only sweat but also his irritability.

Using up half a jar, Tang Tianyu threw aside the gourd, rubbed his face with the dried clothes, and finally walked into the house.

Opening the door, Tang Nianfan was sitting with a chair, arms crossed, directly facing the entrance, while on the bed inside, two young boys sat together, clearly sleepy but still worried about something, unwilling to lie down—Tang Ziqi and his brother.

"If you’re tired, go to sleep. There’s heavy coursework tomorrow."

Without glancing at Tang Nianfan, Tang Tianyu directly commanded the sleepy boys as he entered.

The two brothers, as if granted amnesty, burrowed into the bed without even taking off their clothes, peeking out with four eyes but met Tang Nianfan’s cold gaze, shrinking back in fear.

Seeing the brothers’ amusing look, Tang Tianyu shook his head with a smile, casually tossed the clothes on his shoulder, and prepared to lie down.

"Buying people’s hearts all day outside, being amiable with those foreign disciples, yet back in the house can’t even greet your clan brothers?"

Before Tang Tianyu could lie down, a sarcastic cold voice came from behind.

’Here we go again...’

Tang Tianyu rolled his eyes, then adjusted his expression and turned back, smiling, "How could I, Brother Fan? It’s just that I’m really tired today. Can’t we talk about it tomorrow?"

"If you know you’re tired, then you should stop being so complicated!"

Tang Nianfan still gave no pleasant expression, "You’re explaining and demonstrating to those Inner Sect Disciples every day, pulling in clan brothers, so much so that even your own brothers don’t know who to consult when seeking guidance! And you, yourself! Tell me, since you broke through, spending all day with those guys, how much coursework on the Emotion Deprivation Technique have you neglected, and how much has your True Spirit cultivation fallen behind?"

"It’s not that serious."

Tang Tianyu explained lightly, "The demonstration area is just in the back mountain, just a few steps away. How could it be difficult to find someone to consult? As for coursework... it has fallen behind a bit, but I’ve been practicing more at night, so the progress shouldn’t be too far behind."

"Not too far? Today you’ll know just how far you’ve fallen behind!"

Tang Nianfan looked at the clan brother still unaware of the seriousness and raised his palm, igniting Sunburn to form a little figure practicing punches in his hand.

"Amazing!"

"Brother Fan is mighty!"

The spectacle elicited two exclamations. It was Tang Zilin, the brothers supposed to be asleep, sneakily revealing their eyes again.

Suddenly breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room, being glared at by Tang Nianfan, the two little guys quietly shrunk back into the covers.

Although the interruption was untimely, the exclamations were precisely what Tang Tianyu thought in his heart. Watching the fire figure in Tang Nianfan’s hand, he sincerely praised, "Taming fire like a colt; Brother Fan’s cultivation and combat power have become incomparable after discovering the True Spirit. I admire you."

"Bang"

Tang Nianfan crushed the fire figure angrily, "Showing you this isn’t for your admiration, but to make you understand what you’ve wasted! Your talent and aptitude surpass mine by far; in this courtyard’s first lesson, you are the second among the entire back mountain. If there’s anyone among our batch with a chance to surpass Yang Fan, it’s you."

"But look at what you’re doing now, mingling daily with that group who haven’t even found their True Spirit, wasting coursework in vain! How can you surpass Yang Fan like this? Do you want that foreigner to always overshadow us?"

Tang Tianyu remained silent, his expression complex.

He knew what he’s doing would delay his coursework progress, but there were things he had to do.

As for surpassing Yang Fan... honestly, if solitary cultivation could surpass someone as monstrously gifted in comprehension, constitution, and resilience, then the senior disciple selected by the Martial Arts Monarch in the inner courtyard would be rather worthless.

Thinking of this, he instead strengthened his resolve, and after a long sigh, his expression became calm.

Seeing his brother’s face change, Tang Nianfan assumed he had understood his words upon realizing the facts. He also softened his aggressive tone, speaking kindly, "Your martial arts aptitude surpasses mine. Although slightly behind now, with your capabilities, catching up isn’t difficult. From tomorrow, you’ll train alongside Duan Yue and Duan Hai; they also have the Metal Element True Spirit. You can verify with each other and accelerate your progress..."
