I haven’t seen her for a summer, and Xiao Tao has not changed much compared to before.

Her skin is very fair and delicate, and her face is full of collagen. She does not need makeup, and she is already a beautiful scenery on campus.

The two of them walked and chatted, mostly Xiao Tao talking and Zhou Xu listening.

"Your left eye before..."

"It's ready."

"Actually, you look pretty good with the black eyepatch on. You look especially like my favorite anime character."

Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue, and Zhou Xu couldn't help laughing. "Then I'll put it on again?"

"That's not necessary. It's okay now. It's just that this suit doesn't suit you very well. You look old-fashioned."

The two were talking and laughing, and it was a strange feeling. Zhou Xu felt very relaxed next to Xiao Tao.

Perhaps the fortune teller's life in the world is too stressful. He is in high-intensity training every day. He feels very good when he occasionally walks on campus like this.

However, this feeling did not last long, Zhou Xu vaguely felt as if someone was staring at him.

He couldn't explain why this happened, it was just an intuition, and Zhou Xu subconsciously observed his surroundings.

The two entered the canteen of Binhai University, and Xiaotao used her meal card to order a lot of dishes for Zhou Xu.

They are all very common dishes, but they taste really good and Zhou Xu has a big appetite.

Halfway through the meal, Zhou Xu felt someone was spying on him again. He frowned slightly, stood up, and looked around.

Soon, he noticed a familiar figure flashing past the door!

Zhou Xu immediately chased him out. The opponent didn't have time to escape, and he didn't seem to want to hide.

"Fang Xiujie? Why are you here?"

Zhou Xu spoke in surprise. The person who had been secretly spying on him turned out to be his former high school classmate.

In the past, when I was in high school, because Zhou Xu always came first and Fang Xiujie always came second in exams, we always had a bad relationship with him.

Fang Xiujie has always wanted to be a fortune teller, but unfortunately he didn't realize it during the fortune test. According to classmates in the class, he was depressed for the entire summer vacation and his overall condition was very bad.

"I'm studying at Binhai University. Isn't it normal here? You are a fortune teller. I see that you seem to have come with someone from the Department of Foreign Affairs. Don't you have to attend classes at the fortune teller academy?"

Fang Xiujie said confidently, and Zhou Xu found that he didn't seem as sluggish as his classmates said. Although gray hair appeared on his temples at some point, his overall mental state was very good.

"Now is the period of social practice. I'm studying in the Department of Foreign Affairs." Zhou Xu didn't hide it. After all, he was an old classmate.

"Internship? Being able to work in the Foreign Affairs Department shows that you are indeed quite capable now."

Fang Xiujie was thoughtful. He seemed much calmer than before, without any jealousy or ridicule.

"Zhou Xu, is this your classmate?" Xiao Tao followed.

Fang Xiujie glanced at her, a little surprised. "I never thought that a nerd like you could find such a beautiful girlfriend."

Xiao Tao's face turned red when she heard this, and Zhou Xu said awkwardly: "We are not who you imagined."

"It's none of my business."

Fang Xiujie shook his head, "When I saw you in school, I couldn't help but be curious and followed you. I had no other intention. Zhou Xu, I never congratulated you on becoming a fortune teller. To be honest, your grades have always been higher than mine. I

My heart is convinced."

Seeing Fang Xiujie grow up a lot, Zhou Xu sighed with emotion.

"But I won't admit defeat, our competition has just begun!"

Fang Xiujie changed the topic and his eyes showed determination. "One day, I will keep pace with you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhou Xu looked at his back and said half encouragingly and half teasingly. "Then come on, brother, I'll be waiting for you."

Fang Xiujie didn't get angry this time, waved his hand behind his back, and strode away.

After lunch, Zhou Xu didn't stay long, said goodbye to Xiao Tao, and returned home with a few lunch boxes.

Lu Zhiqiu's eyes lit up when he saw the rice he brought back, and he immediately opened it and ate happily.

"You have a conscience and still remember me. Since you went to the Fortune Master Academy, I haven't eaten delicious food for a long time." My aunt sighed while eating.

"Wouldn't it be delicious if you cooked your own food?"

"I never eat the rice I cook, I only give it to you."

"..."

Zhou Xu was speechless. It seemed that his aunt was well aware of his cooking skills!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Xu met Brother Qiu and Hu Xinxin to continue the work of the Foreign Affairs Department.

The work was very busy at the end of the day, but Zhou Xu also learned a lot from it.

At night, Zhou Xu came to a building based on the address left by Zhong Taiyan.

After taking the elevator to the top floor, Zhou Xu found that there was only one house on this floor, so he rang the doorbell directly.

Soon, someone opened the door. It was not Zhong Taiyan, but an unexpected person.

"Brother, how do you know I live here?"

The little girl Jiang Xing opened her big and bright eyes and asked in surprise.

Zhou Xu was surprised. "Isn't this the residence of Dean Zhong?"

"You mean uncle? Oh, you are here to see uncle."

Jiang Xing pouted, turned around and entered the room, not wanting to talk to Zhou Xu anymore.

"Come over here."

Zhong Taiyan's voice came from a room nearby, and the door was open.

Zhou Xu walked into the room and realized that it was a training room. It was very large. The walls and floors seemed to be specially customized. He didn't know what material they were made of.

"That Jiang Xing..." Zhou Xu asked curiously. He remembered that Jiang Xing said that she went to the Fortune Master Academy as a guest, and she didn't go there for a long time. Zhong Taiyan had not been the dean of the academy for long.

"She is my guest, don't worry about her."

Zhong Taiyan was wearing practice clothes and seemed to have been meditating cross-legged for a long time.

Zhou Xu nodded, closed the door, and found that the sound of Jiang Xing and the cat playing in the living room could no longer be heard. The sound insulation here was very good.

"Continuing with the previous course, last time I taught the advanced application of [San] [Convergence], have you mastered it?" Zhong Taiyan asked.

Zhou Xu did not answer. He stood in front of Zhong Taiyan, closed his eyes, first radiated the life energy in his body, and then took it back bit by bit.

[Convergence], as an advanced application of [San], one of the four basic skills, refers to converging the life energy of the whole body and completely sealing off its communication with the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, the life energy in the human body is not completely closed. During intense exercise such as running and jumping, some life energy is often emitted unconsciously.

This little bit of life energy is not much, but it can be detected by powerful life masters or keen dangerous species.

And [Condensation], completely condensing one's life energy and hiding one's aura, is an extremely clever means of sneaking, and is a very powerful means of self-protection in the wilderness where dangerous species are overflowing.

At the same time, if you can learn to "gather", it proves that your control of life energy is already quite good, and you are one step closer to the requirement of "gathering and dispersing at will".

Zhou Xu recalled what Zhong Taiyan taught, and the life energy in his body quickly converged into his body.

This is not enough. To truly collect your breath, you must cut off the interaction with heaven and earth.

Zhou Xu imagined that he fell into a swamp and his body sank little by little.

During this process, the communication between the life energy in his body and the outside world was completely closed, and his breathing seemed to have disappeared. He was just an object standing there.

Zhong Taiyan nodded. Zhou Xu's understanding of cultivation was indeed very high. He did not let him down. He actually mastered [Leng] in such a short time.

"You have learned [condensation], but there are still some problems. Before condensing the breath in your whole body, you will subconsciously release your life energy."

"I know that doing this may make your convergence smoother, but when your life energy temporarily increases, it may attract the attention of experts. This problem must be solved, otherwise your [Convergence] practice will still be ineffective."

Zhou Xu listened carefully and reflected carefully. The master's eyes were very vicious. He did have this subconscious action when condensing his life energy. It should be that when he first started learning [Scattering], he was used to [Gathering] first. Over time, he developed this problem.

"In addition, don't be proud if you have learned [Leng]. On top of [Leng], there is a more advanced application called [Fan]."

"[Convergence] is to isolate the interaction between the life energy in your body and the heaven and earth, so that the enemy cannot detect your breath. And [Fan] is to converge the life energy to the extreme, converge it into the blood, and converge it into the cells, so that

Even if you stand in front of the enemy, they will not see that you are a fortune teller, they will only think that you are an ordinary person who has truly returned to your original nature."

"Using my ancient Daxia philosophy to explain the relationship between [San], [Leng], and [Fan], it means that a mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, and a mountain is still a mountain!"

Zhou Xu tried hard to write down what Zhong Taiyan said. With his current level of cultivation, he can't understand it very well, but as his master said, he doesn't have much time, so he can only teach everything. As much as he can comprehend and master, the whole thing will be determined.

Look at his own creation.

Zhou Xu tried to understand and memorized the things he didn't understand. When the time comes to practice in the future, he believed that he would naturally understand them.

It's like doing math problems. If you don't understand the formula, you can just write it down first. After you have done more problems, you will naturally understand the meaning of the formula.

"Master, when I was at Binhai University today, I felt someone was spying on me. It turned out that someone was really there. Is my feeling related to the growth of [Consciousness]? If someone uses [Collection] or [Fan] to get close to me

, does it mean that I can’t have this feeling?”

Zhou Xu thought of today's experience and asked for advice.

"Oh? Have you been able to feel this way? Yes, having this kind of experience means that your [consciousness] has become stronger again. Those who are peeping at you today should only be ordinary people or low-level life masters, right? If you master [

[Lian], with your current level, you really can’t detect it, he can even touch behind you and give you a fatal blow!”
