The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 187: Change in Temperament


Luo Chao never expected that his attempt to alleviate Zuo Dahai's inner pain by infusing his own energy into Zuo Dahai's heart would inadvertently lead Zuo Dahai to have a sudden realization and, in turn, enlighten him!

Despite years of hard cultivation without advancing the Second Layer of his Cultivation Technique, it was his spontaneous action today that allowed him to break through effortlessly!

At this moment, Luo Chao truly understood the saying of the ancients: "You can plant a flower intentionally but it won't bloom; unintentionally plant a willow and it will grow into shade."

Actually, Luo Chao was being somewhat presumptuous.

One must know, there's no pie falling from the sky. Although it seemed that Luo Chao relied on his unintentional willow planting to achieve enlightenment and successfully advance to the Second Layer of his Cultivation Technique.

In reality, if Luo Chao hadn't accumulated experience during his cultivation of the First Layer, and explored and cultivated the Second Layer with talent and understanding, how could Luo Chao have broken through so easily?

Thus, what appears as someone succeeding through coincidence is actually backed by unseen efforts, as the saying goes: ten years of practice behind the scenes for three minutes on stage, sudden realization after deep accumulation, this is what it means!

After Luo Chao's breakthrough, it took him quite a while to recover from the joy of advancing to the Second Layer of his Cultivation Technique.

Now, Luo Chao was beaming with happiness, at ease, his every gesture subtly imbued with a hint of divine intention, and even Tang Tianyi and Zuo Dahai, two people who had never cultivated, could feel it.

"Luo Chao, brother, you..." Zuo Dahai glanced at Luo Chao in the rearview mirror, struggling to find words.

To be honest, Zuo Dahai didn't know exactly what he wanted to say. He just felt that after Luo Chao listened to him, his entire demeanor changed completely!

Unlike the trustworthy aura Luo Chao gave off before, now his demeanor unconsciously exuded a comfortable feeling that's hard to describe.

While the specific reason for this comfort is unclear, Zuo Dahai and Tang Tianyi felt that being close to Luo Chao emitted a blissful sense of happiness!

This feeling was akin to the emotion one would have returning to their hometown after thirty years or like a devoted woman finding the love of her life!

"Hmm? Brother Zuo, what are you trying to say?" Luo Chao asked Zuo Dahai with a slight smile.

"Oh...nothing, I just feel, I just feel like you seem kind of..." Zuo Dahai stammered, unable to articulate the comfortable feeling with words.

After all, if Zuo Dahai said as a grown man to Luo Chao, "I feel really comfortable being around you," it might make Luo Chao think he's a freak!

However, while Zuo Dahai hesitated, Tang Tianyi's voice suddenly chimed in.

"Luo Chao, I can clearly feel that your demeanor is completely different than before! If I must say, I now feel an inexplicable comfort simply being near you, and oddly, my mood has suddenly improved!"

Tang Tianyi's tone remained icy, but her words conveyed her true feelings.

"Oh? Is that so?" Luo Chao was somewhat taken aback by Tang Tianyi's remarks.

"It's true, I feel it too!" With Tang Tianyi speaking first, Zuo Dahai felt no hesitation in echoing her sentiment.

The two hadn't realized that, for the first time, they were in sync and shared the same stance concerning Luo Chao's change in demeanor.

Seeing Zuo Dahai and Tang Tianyi's expressions and hearing their tone, Luo Chao discreetly nodded.

Others might not be aware of what happened to Luo Chao earlier, but he himself knew full well.

Luo Chao guessed that the apparent change in his demeanor had to be tied to his recent advancement to the Second Layer of his Cultivation Technique.

Though Luo Chao didn't know why his cultivation advancement sparked such mystical changes in his demeanor, he understood that he must protect the secret of the peerless Cultivation Technique handed down to him by his master; no third person aside from himself and his master must know!

This was an oath Luo Chao swore long ago before he started cultivating this technique under his master.

With this in mind, Luo Chao quickly concocted a plausible explanation to temporarily address Zuo Dahai and Tang Tianyi.

"I think, maybe the car is too stuffy, and you're experiencing hallucinations. How could a person's demeanor change suddenly? Unless…" Luo Chao deliberately paused here to pique Tang Tianyi and Zuo Dahai's curiosity.

"Unless what?" As expected, Luo Chao's trick worked perfectly, with both Tang Tianyi and Zuo Dahai falling for it and asking in unison.

"Hehe." Luo Chao chuckled mischievously and didn't rush to answer.

Tang Tianyi, being sharp-eyed, sensed a hint of foreboding seeing Luo Chao's wicked smile.

Tang Tianyi anticipated that Luo Chao was about to say something indecent!

"Hehe." Luo Chao glanced at Tang Tianyi, then turned to Zuo Dahai, and after a few odd laughs, suddenly said, "Unless... you two have fallen in love with me!"

"Love you? Nonsense, you pervert Luo Chao! Always messing around, talking gibberish!" Tang Tianyi expected Luo Chao's words, so she was mentally prepared and wasn't fazed by his sudden outlandish words, she just angrily cursed at him.

As for Zuo Dahai, he seemed peculiar, as he blushed awkwardly after hearing Luo Chao's comment, which took Luo Chao by surprise, prompting him to silently clench his backside.

Imagine a fifty-year-old middle-aged man giving you a shy smile on a reddened face; it would be unsettling even for Luo Chao, who was a man himself, and frightening for a young girl!

Thus, Luo Chao being cautious to protect this aspect, cherished for twenty-two years, seemed quite reasonable!
