Chapter 1082: Chapter 1081: Progress
At this moment, Yanran was in a great mood. She stood up from her seat and stretched leisurely.
Done, Jiang Cheng?" Ba Lv greeted her from the side.
Sometimes, she really admired her senior sister, even though she was only a few years older, she was always so diligent in her pursuit of strength.
Ba Lv realized that this was precisely where she herself was lacking.
Walking around every day wouldn’t tire her, but sitting for long periods was something she found really hard to endure.
Even when it came to piloting various aircraft, something she loved, she preferred short, thrilling flights full of tricks and excitement.
Not like this monotonous, long-term travel they were currently on.
She couldn’t endure sitting still for her favorite sports, let alone her teacher’s spiritual power training.
Ba Lv never really understood this teacher from Earth, reportedly from the distant Milky Way Galaxy, a place she had never even heard of.
Yanran also came from an extraterrestrial planet, but there was nothing about her that felt strange to Ba Lv.
On the contrary, they were very happy together, and got along quite harmoniously.
Her teacher was another story. For example, one day when her teacher was lying in bed and Xuran’s shift ended, she naturally lay down beside him.
Unexpectedly, her teacher immediately got out of bed. Watching his actions, Ba Lv was momentarily confused, she even sniffed herself to see if there was some unnoticed dirt or smell on her clothes.
But of course, nothing like that had happened, after all, Ba Lv was a very clean girl.
When she told her teacher that the bed was big enough for both of them, he responded with some unintelligible words, which sounded like gibberish to her, only remembering some random phrases.
Later, when she told Yanran about it and asked if her teacher had any issue with her, Yanran also found it odd.
Eventually, one day, Yanran also tried Ba Lvluo’s method, and her teacher reacted the same way, immediately getting out of bed and leaving the room.
Though Ba Lv’s heart was somewhat comforted, it wasn’t because her teacher disliked what she did, but she still couldn’t figure out why.
The two of them whispered about it for a long time, unable to come up with any conclusions, and could only bury the suspicion in their hearts.
Yanran and Ba Lv’s ship continued to fly tirelessly through the boundless space, and for quite some time, they had not encountered any other aircraft.
In the vast universe, it felt as though their ship was alone in existence.
Yanran was piloting on this occasion, with Ba Lv sitting next to her, entering a meditative state to train her spiritual power.
Seeing Ba Lv deep in meditation, Yanran’s face involuntarily broke into a smile, remembering the previous scene.
She knew how much Ba Lv disliked sitting still. When she wanted to go out and play without completing her daily lessons, her teacher would sternly reprimand her without mercy.
Though her teacher didn’t say much, the weight of his words was heavy.
Without great strength, don’t even think about venturing alone in the universe; even following her teacher, she would be a burden, just dragging her teacher down.
To gain great strength, spiritual power training is crucial. Without the support of adequate spiritual power, even strong power is superficial. Against real experts or dangerous situations, one would realize their power isn’t as strong as imagined.
Ba Lvluo’s current strength barely warranted her teacher’s disdain. In the battles on the Erma Planet, those special individuals were already formidable opponents.
Although fundamentally, their strength was indeed slightly above those individuals.
But in the universe, individuals like them were as common as sand, and their target was not individuals like those on the Erma Planet.
That was an existence they couldn’t even imagine, at least for now.
If Ba Lvluo didn’t strive in her spiritual power training, Yanran clearly remembered how severe her teacher’s tone had been.
If Ba Lvluo didn’t push herself harder, once they reached Earth, Jiang Cheng would let Ba Lv live freely there instead of following him.
Though Jiang Cheng didn’t explicitly mention expelling Ba Lv from the apprenticeship, the implication of his words couldn’t have been clearer.
Because Ba Lv was alone in the world, with no family, considering her circumstances, Jiang Cheng, having become her teacher, surely wouldn’t abandon her to fend for herself, as that would be too irresponsible.
So, he remained her teacher, and she, his disciple, but it was merely a nominal recognition Jiang Cheng gave her. Leveraging Su’s influence on Earth, no one would be careless enough to offend his disciple.
Their teacher-student relationship stopped here.
Ba Lv had never seen Jiang Cheng so furious before. Seeing her teacher’s stern face, the young girl was genuinely frightened.
And when Yanran attempted to comfort her, she too was scolded by Jiang Cheng, leaving Xuran no choice but to obediently stand still, listening to Ba Lv’s sobbing hiccups.
After Jiang Cheng left, Yanran still didn’t dare approach Ba Lv or speak to her, only watching her silently from the side.
After sobbing in her seat for a while, the young girl got up, washed her face, and when she returned to the cockpit, her expression had calmed down. Taking a few deep breaths, she settled her mind and slowly entered a meditative state.
This time, Ba Lv meditated much longer than usual. During that time, Jiang Cheng quietly came in twice to check on her, standing silently by her side for a while before leaving.
Yanran did what she could, steering the ship more steadily, not wanting any ripple to disturb Ba Lv.
After an indefinite time, Ba Lv emerged from her reflection, opening her eyes to find Yanran and Jiang Cheng standing in front of her, observing her.
Startled by their presence, she momentarily didn’t know what to say.
"Take a look inside." Jiang Cheng suggested to Ba Lv, intuitively feeling that his disciple might have made a significant breakthrough in her spiritual training.
Ba Lv lowered her head, then after a moment, raised it joyfully, "I think I’ve broken through to the third stage of spiritual power training."
"And it’s nearing the fourth stage, right?" Jiang Cheng prompted her.
Ba Lv lowered her head again, "Yes, I can vaguely see the fourth level of my spiritual power, though it’s not very clear."
"Hmm." Jiang Cheng nodded, quite pleased with Ba Lvluo’s progress.
"Oh my god!" Yanran exclaimed, "You were only at the second stage, how did you make such tremendous progress?"
