Chapter 414: Are You Hiding Some Good News?
Song Tian felt the hand providing support on his back slowly move away. Unable to suppress the urgency in his heart, he opened his eyes impatiently, turned around quickly to look at Lu Yu, and asked with a hint of trepidation in his tone, stuttering: "Brother Lu, I... have I succeeded?"
"Yes." Lu Yu had already stood up at some point. Hearing Song Tian's question, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly at him, saying: "Chairman, you have now undoubtedly become a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist."
"Really?!" Upon hearing this, Song Tian's breathing became rapid in an instant. His excitement was like a bursting dam, impossible to hold back, and immediately after, two lines of hot tears welled up and spilled from his eyes uncontrollably.
"I... I have actually really become a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist, a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist..." He was so excited that he became incoherent, his heart so full of joy that he didn't know how to express it for a moment.
Lu Yu watched quietly from the side, a smile on his face, saying nothing.
At this moment, the image of Wang Liang could not help but surface in his mind, and he pondered to himself: If Uncle Wang were to break through to the Pulse Refining Realm, he would surely have this same excited reaction, right?
It was just that he had some faint misgivings in his heart. When Uncle Wang was still a Dark Energy Martial Artist, was it perhaps too hasty to consider clearing his meridians for him?
After all, the Chairman Song before him, although also an In-Jin Martial Artist, had already reached the Transformation Energy Realm, and was actually only one final step away from a breakthrough.
"Just in case, it is better to wait until Uncle Wang becomes a Transformation Energy Martial Artist before helping him break through." Lu Yu made up his mind in his heart.
Just at this moment, Song Tian also gradually sobered up from his extreme excitement.
"Brother Lu, I..." Song Tian was just about to open his mouth to express the gratitude in his heart.
Lu Yu waved his hand lightly and said: "Chairman, there is no need to say words of thanks. Just now, I only helped you clear the first few acupoints. After the True Qi in your body recovers, you can try to control this True Qi yourself to strike at the next acupoint.
However, Chairman, you must be extra careful. You must not be overly hasty, and you must maintain a peaceful, humble, and patient heart.
Besides waiting for the True Qi to recover on its own, you can also spend some resources to purchase True Qi Pills in the Association to supplement your True Qi; this will make it more convenient when performing Meridian Opening."
"Good, good, Brother Lu, I have remembered it." Song Tian nodded repeatedly, the gratitude in his heart like a surging river, and for a moment he did not know how to put it into words.
"Yes, those are the main points for now. If you encounter any problems during your cultivation later, Chairman, you can come and ask me at any time," Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, then I will go back first to ponder it carefully." As Song Tian spoke, he stood up, thanked Lu Yu several times in succession, and only then slowly pushed open the door and walked out.
At the very moment he closed the door, Song Tian could not help but wave his fist forcefully, as if he wanted to release the irrepressible excitement in his heart through this action.
"Chairman?" Suddenly, a voice came from ahead.
Song Tian looked up and saw Jiang Yao and Chang Lei looking at him with a strange expression of slight confusion and curiosity.
"Ahem." Song Tian placed his fist to his mouth in some embarrassment, coughed twice, and said: "What a coincidence? Are you two going to train?"
"Yes, I want to ask Brother Chang for some advice on cultivation," Jiang Yao replied.
"We are just going to spar and exchange pointers." Chang Lei smiled, and immediately after, he stared closely at Song Tian with a curious gaze and pressed: "Chairman, what were you just doing...?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing, hahaha." Song Tian gave a dry laugh, trying to cover up his unusual behavior. "You two are going to spar, right? Then go ahead, don't mind me, hehehe." After finishing, he walked quickly toward the front.
Jiang Yao and Chang Lei exchanged a glance.
"Something isn't right," Jiang Yao said first.
"I also feel the Chairman is a bit abnormal," Chang Lei nodded in agreement.
The two nodded in tacit understanding almost simultaneously, then quickly followed after him.
"Chairman, Chairman." Jiang Yao trotted over to block Song Tian's path, a cunning smile on her face as she said: "Chairman, do you have some good news you're hiding from us?"
Song Tian was slightly startled.
"Jiang Yao is right," Chang Lei mused thoughtfully. "Chairman, I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you so excited that you lost your composure like you just did."
"Really, it's really nothing." Song Tian hurriedly waved his hands to deny it, but his attempt to cover it up only further stirred the curiosity of Jiang Yao and the other.
"Chairman, that's not very nice of you, is it?" Jiang Yao said, feigning anger.
"That's right, Chairman. In the past, we told you about everything the first chance we got, but now that you have good news, you're keeping it all to yourself. That's not very good, is it?" Chang Lei also chimed in from the side.
The two kept at it, one after the other, questioning him relentlessly.
"Good news? What good news?" At this time, Kang Yuan walked over from not far away and asked with a curious look on his face.
"The Chairman won't say, and we are just questioning him," Jiang Yao responded.
"Chairman, that's not very loyal of you, is it?" Kang Yuan shouted. "What could there be that you can't tell us?"
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Song Tian sighed helplessly and said: "Do you really want to know?"
"Needless to say!" Kang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he urged eagerly: "Chairman, with our friendship, if you have any good news, tell us, and we will all be happy for you."
"That's right, that's right, hurry up and tell us."
"Chairman, stop keeping it a secret."
Everyone chimed in one after another.
"Alright then." Song Tian sighed helplessly again, looked at the crowd gathering more and more around him, and said: "Let's go, let's go into the conference room to talk."
Jiang Yao, Chang Lei, and Kang Yuan exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
The few of them walked into the conference room. Song Tian walked in last, and after entering, he specifically leaned out to look around outside, and only after confirming no one was eavesdropping did he gently close the door.
"Chairman." Jiang Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes and teased: "Did you go out to be a thief? Why are you acting so suspiciously?"
"I wouldn't go so far as to say I was being a thief, but it did feel a bit strange."
"It really did."
"Just like being a thief..."
Everyone joked back and forth.
Song Tian felt a bit helpless, walked to a chair and sat down, saying: "Actually, I hadn't planned on telling you all so soon; I was thinking of waiting a while longer."
"Hurry up and tell us," the three urged impatiently.
"Alright then." Song Tian looked at the three of them in turn and said slowly: "Just a moment ago, I broke through."
As soon as the words fell, the conference room went quiet instantly, as if time itself had frozen.
Jiang Yao, Chang Lei, and Kang Yuan looked at Song Tian as if their souls had been sucked out, dumbfounded, their faces full of shock.
