THE RISE OF THE DRAGON.

5. FINISHING THE LAST CIRCLE.

Ui Yong Jiang immediately tried to circulate the energy, he realized it had become easier than when he had tried it before, and the pain was significantly reduced.

“Wow, I guess I shouldn't have stopped my practice” Ui Yong Jiang muttered happily.

He immediately began to feel regret when he thought of the days he had to go through the pain just to make his energy move.

“Why they didn't announce it on that roll, I won't go through the days of pain”

Ui Yong Jiang complained bitterly. Even though he knew it wouldn't change anything, it did,

he didn't want to blame himself for not continuing his training, so he simply shifted his mistakes.

Humans are strange creatures, though,

if something happened to them, they were always looking for someone to blame, including this Ui Yong Jiang.

Sometimes they clearly know they are guilty, but few will admit it. Okay, now back to the story

Ui Yong Jiang was able to complete the second circulation shortly afterwards. He was exhausted from hard work and fell asleep.

The next day, Ui Yong Jiang woke up during the day. Although it was not yet midday, it was not far from it.

“Ah, an incredible night” Ui Yong Jiang woke up with a big smile on his face, he said,

after experiencing a breakthrough in circulation, he felt fantastic about himself.

Although it was not something big, Ui Yong Jiang felt it was a great achievement.

He refreshed himself before descending down. He saw Tan Lie Hwa just walked into the house.

When he saw Ui Yong Jiang, he gave him a sweet smile.

For some reason, when Ui Yong Jiang saw that smile, he felt a chill run down his spine.

‘I haven't done anything wrong lately, kan’ Ui Yong Jiang started thinking about everything he has done lately and can't remember making his mother upset at every turn.

“How are you doing?” ask Tan Lie Hwa

Ui Yong Jiang walked over to him.

Ui Yong Jiang stopped instinctively and slowly retreated to a distance that he considered quite safe.

“I'm fine Ma, thank you. How are you today?” Ui Yong Jiang asked with a smile.

“Should I admit, Mama looked so beautiful this morning” Before Tan Lie Hwa had time to answer the question asked Ui Yong Jiang, she heard him speak again.

‘He has a fluent tongue. Just like his father, Tan Lie Hwa sneered coldly in his heart.

He knows why he completes himself. Every time he does something wrong, he,

he always does this to get on his good side. Although she had never been in love, she reduced the punishment she had in mind for him subconsciously.

“How was your training yesterday?”

Tan Lie Hwa asked with a smile.

“It's okay, I noticed my stamina has increased since I started cultivating, although I haven't started cultivating fully yet, I think it won't be much longer.

Oh, and I made some progress in the second circulation, now all that is left to do is continue until I reach the tenth”

Ui Yong Jiang spat out everything he did yesterday. He forgot about what happened with De rek because he was too excited over the success of his cultivation breakthrough the night before.

Tan Lie Hwa looked at him fixedly, ‘Why did he hide it from me, or did he forget about it?. No need, I'll just ask him’.

“I was told that you sneaked attack De rek yesterday when you returned from the forest” Tan Lie Hwa observed Ui Yong Jiang's reaction closely.

Ui Yong Jiang was surprised when he heard that, then everything clicked, no wonder he was acting strangely, so it was because of the small conflict I had with De rek.

“I did not secretly attack him, he attacked me and I replied openly.

I even warned him, but he wanted to bully me because he thought I was weak” Ui Yong Jiang said proudly as he stuck out his chest.

Tan Lie Hwa looked at him not knowing whether to laugh or cry, ‘This child’.

“Well, that's not what he said. He said he was alone on the side of the road when you suddenly sneaked attacking him while he was distracted.

He said you attacked him probably because you were mad at him when he jokingly called you lame”

Well, not for that particular reason. ‘With his character, he will definitely sneak attack his enemy’. De rek could not be counted as an enemy, he was not even worth Ui Yong Jiang's time.

“He lied” Ui Yong Jiang defended himself confidently. He knew his mother knew he was right,

he was just trying to scare her. Even if he was wrong, he knew he would definitely protect her.

Tan Lie Hwa stared at him for some time, “Tell me what really happened”

Ui Yong Jiang recounted the entire incident, from the moment he headed outside to the moment he was confronted by De rek.

Tan Lie Hwa was also stunned when she heard how Ui Yong Jiang could defeat De rek easily.

De rek is someone at the 8th stage of the Collection Plane, just a little away from the Fusion Plane.

However Ui Yong Jiang was faster than him, what was even more surprising was the fact that De rek was a Wind Elementalist.

He looked at his son, pride filled his heart, but he did not show it.

If Ui Yong Jiang knew he was proud of him, he had no idea what he might do next.

“Oke, don't worry about this. I'll take care of it. I don't want to hear anything like this happen again.

Focus fully on your cultivation and try to complete the circulation as soon as possible,

so that you can start the actual cultivation” Tan Lie Hwa said seriously.

He really did not want her to waste time with all these little things. As long as he can start cultivating for real, I will be happy.

“Yes mother, I will work extra hard” Ui Yong Jiang declared with determination.

Tan Lie Hwa looked at him and nodded in agreement when she saw how determined Ui Yong Jiang was.

Ui Yong Jiang continued his training that day, only now, his routine had changed. He would practice during the day, and meditate at night.

Slowly, time passed and a month passed quickly.

Ui Yong Jiang did not hear from De rek or anyone later.

He was given a rare moment of peace. He is happy because now all his focus is on his training.

During this week, he was able to reach the seventh circle. The more circles, the harder it was for him.

He was determined, so he did not stop or give up halfway because he felt it was too difficult.

He kept pushing himself to the edge of the abyss and beyond himself.

Whenever he wanted to train, he would set himself as a target to defeat.

If he could do more than what he usually did, then he had managed to surpass himself before.

Another week passed without any major events happening. Ui Yong Jiang continued his frenzied training and Tan Lie Hwa even started to worry about him.

There was one time Ui Yong Jiang went home looking like someone who set foot on the door of death.

He had to make her stay at home for a week to rest before she was allowed to continue her training.

Even while staying at home, Ui Yong Jiang focused entirely on meditation.

During these two weeks, Ui Yong Jiang had been able to complete 9 circles. Now there's the last circle,

after he finished it, he would officially enter the Elementalist realm and he could already cultivate choosing his preferred element, whether fire, ice, wind and others.

Ui Yong Jiang was very excited about it and could not wait to start manipulating each element.

Ui Yong Jiang took a break, before going to the last circle.

He noticed that he had to always rest sometimes, so that his body would not be damaged.

After the break, he immediately started the exercise and he started to move the energy according to the instructions of the tenth circle.

Each circle had a different route, so he had to be careful while studying it to avoid mistakes.

Although almost identical, there are always different routes for each circle.

Ui Yong Jiang worked hard and after 2 days of hard training, one night, he finally finished the final circle.
