Chapter 1061 - 1060: Breaking Through the First Layer
Watching the white tiger in the void, Chu Ge's eyes twitched violently. This can't be real, right? Is this white tiger that he almost killed just now going to instantly revive in full status?Although Chu Ge felt that this idea was absurd, too many ridiculous things had happened to him recently, so he couldn't help but suspect this possibility.
As Chu Ge's thoughts ran wild, the white tiger in the void quickly took its complete form.
Looking at the massive white tiger, Chu Ge secretly decided that if the white tiger showed any sign of attacking him again, he would immediately return to the real world. Just as he made this decision, the white tiger started to change again.
The white tiger faced Chu Ge, lowering the head that once arrogantly confronted him. When it raised its head again, silvery streams started shimmering on its tiger body, and its form began to glow brighter and brighter. Within seconds, the glowing silver light was so bright that Chu Ge could hardly keep his eyes open.
What's going to happen now?
Even though the white tiger's bow looked like a sign of submission to Chu Ge, the sudden change made him uneasy.
As the silver light on the white tiger became blindingly bright, Chu Ge's eyes finally couldn't remain open, leaving only this stretch of silver light in the entire void.
Seconds later, Chu Ge opened his eyes again.
The white tiger in the void had disappeared, replaced by twelve dazzling characters; yes, twelve. The character that had never reacted to Chu Ge finally lit up as well.
Apart from this change, Chu Ge realized that he had regained that close connection to the real world, looking as if he no longer had to worry about not returning.
Sigh…
Chu Ge let out a long sigh, fixing his gaze on the last character of the first level cultivation technique. That long-awaited feeling of information feedback reappeared, indicating that he had finally mastered the first level of this cultivation technique!
Additionally, in the feedback from this character, Chu Ge sensed a lingering awe akin to the tiger's might that had just emanated from the white tiger.
If this first level cultivation technique were akin to a game, would the white tiger count as the first level's boss? After defeating such a tough boss, shouldn't it at least drop some loot?
The corner of Chu Ge's mouth slightly twitched; despite knowing his thoughts were quite fanciful, he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation.
Unfortunately, the world calmed down without any new changes.
Chu Ge sighed and glanced over the eleven characters he had already cultivated successfully. What surprised him, yet felt reasonable, was sensing a growing presence of tiger might from weak to strong in those characters.
Considering the mediocrity of Su Yuanzhou and Su Yuanke's skills, how did they manage to subdue this great white tiger? Theoretically… they certainly can't defeat this white tiger, right?
Damn, did only I encounter this big white tiger, and they didn't even go through this step?
Hmm… it seems I should find some time to probe the Su family.
Also, if this counts as clearing the first level, then the second level of cultivation technique is the second level? When reaching the last character in the second level, will another fierce and difficult creature appear?
Filled with chaotic thoughts, Chu Ge focused his mind and left his spiritual world, returning to the real world.
"Hiss..."
Back in the real world, Chu Ge clenched his teeth and inhaled sharply, almost crying out.
The exhaustion and pain from the spiritual world hadn't vanished because of returning to reality; it all came back completely, though, thankfully, there were no bloody wounds on his body.
Carefully getting into bed, despite the pain in his body feeling like it was about to fall apart, Chu Ge quickly fell asleep. He was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Chu Ge slept straight through to noon the next day, and luckily, the sleep was quite refreshing. Thanks to his rapid recovery ability, the pain and exhaustion had mostly dissipated.
After checking out, the three of them left the hotel, grabbed a bite nearby, and headed to the bus station, boarding the coach back to Lidou.
On the day they returned to Lidou, Qin Ruojing didn't go to the company, Qin Ruoying didn't go to kindergarten, and the three of them enjoyed a restful night at home.
Because Chu Ge planned to have a good talk with Chu Chengrui, that night he tried the second level of that cultivation technique.
Although it wasn't as fast as cultivating the first level, he managed to complete the first two characters of the second level. He was quite satisfied with such a result.
The sun rises, ushering in a new day.
Qin Ruojing went to Tianjiao Building, Qin Ruoying went to kindergarten, and Chu Ge left Lidu and headed to Kyoto alone.
Regarding Chu Ge's behavior of leaving right after returning, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying didn't say much, after all, he said he was going to invite Chu Shiyao and Chu Chengrui for a meal, and this reason was quite reasonable.
Upon arriving in Kyoto, Chu Ge got off the car and immediately dialed Chu Shiyao's phone number. After a few rings, Chu Shiyao answered.
"Yaoyao, I've arrived in Kyoto, is everything still the same today?" Earlier, Chu Ge had already contacted Chu Shiyao to schedule the meal for today.
Chu Shiyao replied with a smile: "Ha, you came all this way, even if we had plans we'd have to put them aside, otherwise wouldn't it be letting down your good intentions?"
"Hey? Really growing into a lady, your speech is getting more pleasing," Chu Ge joked playfully and then asked, "So what do you want to eat? I'll go book a restaurant right away."
"Let me think... what do both Old Chu and I love to eat..."
Hearing Chu Shiyao say this, Chu Ge had mixed feelings.
Although Chu Shiyao still called Chu Chengrui "Old Chu," her tone had become affectionate, indicating that unknowingly, Chu Shiyao was increasingly accepting and recognizing Chu Chengrui, perhaps she already regarded Chu Chengrui as family?
If Chu Shiyao knew that the seemingly always kind old man could very well be the mastermind behind the murder of her parents... even committed to experimenting on live humans in a mad research aiming to turn people into near-monster existences, how would she feel?
Forget it, not to mention this matter hasn't been confirmed, even if it's true, whether or not to tell Chu Shiyao depends on the situation.
"Yaoyao, are you on the phone? Seems like my timing isn't great, should I step away for a moment?"
While Chu Ge was thinking, a very doting voice came through the receiver— it was Chu Chengrui's.
"No need, nothing to avoid about, it's a call from Brother Chu, didn't I tell you the other day that Brother Chu wants to invite us for dinner, you really don't miss a beat, just mentioned you and here you are, anyway, what do you want to eat?"
"Oh? A call from Chu Ge? Has he already arrived in Kyoto? Is it convenient for me to say a few words to him?"
"It should... not be inconvenient, I'll ask him for you."
After that, Chu Shiyao brought the phone to her ear and asked Chu Ge, "Brother Chu, Old Chu wants to say a few words to you, is that okay?"
Chu Ge chuckled, "Haha, no inconvenience at all."
With Qin Shiyao's affirmative reply, a few seconds later, Chu Chengrui's voice was heard by Chu Ge.
"Little Chu, arrived in Kyoto?"
"Haha, yes, actually I've been wanting to invite Mr. Old Chu for a meal, but with everything happening, it got delayed until now, hope Mr. Old Chu won't mind."
"Little Chu, speaking so formally is too polite, why would I mind, you've helped me quite a bit, and we both share the surname Chu, I've long considered you as family."
"Thank you, Mr. Old Chu, for your kindness."
"Alright, let's not be so formal, where are you now, I'll send someone to pick you up, come over to the house and we can chat more?"
Hearing this, Chu Ge feigned some politeness before agreeing, giving his location, and just as well he wanted to see Chu Shiyao's current living environment.
Not long after, Wu Qing appeared in Chu Ge's view driving a Mercedes, with Chu Shiyao sitting in the passenger seat, she got out of the car before it fully stopped, smiling and waving at Chu Ge.
Though this visit to see Chu Chengrui might not be totally pleasant, seeing Chu Shiyao lifted his spirits.
In the time they hadn't seen each other, Chu Shiyao seemed to exude more grace, though still with the same doll-like face with a bright smile and a figure envied by countless women.
Wu Qing also got out of the car, waiting aside to open the door for Chu Shiyao when she got back in, although seeing Chu Ge made his expression less composed.
After all, Chu Ge had dealt with him more than once, even giving him nicknames like "Spider Erlang God" and "Spider-Man Erlang God," which despite everything, Wu Qing found frustrating.
Unfortunately, despite his dislike for Chu Ge, he didn't dare show it.
Firstly, because Chu Ge's skills are obvious, handling him would be effortless, and even if he did, it's futile, secondly, Da Shan had also advised him that Chu Ge wasn't merely skilled physically.
The other thing being, Wu Qing wasn't sure if it was his own misconception, but seeing Chu Ge this time, he felt something had changed, although he couldn't pinpoint what.
