Chapter 8: The Apprentice Enters

  After nearly half a year of crazy practice, Han Li finally stood in front of Mo Da Hu and accepted his test.

  Zhang Tie's hands and feet were in a flurry as he stuck close to Han Li, which was no wonder, for Han Li had long since learned from his mouth that he had made no progress in this set of incantations over the past half year.

  Han Li knew that Zhang Tie's dedication to practicing the mantra was not inferior to his own, although he couldn't compare to his own desperate and crazy energy, but the effort he put in was by no means small, and it could be said that he was diligent and conscientious.

  But strangely, this incantation had no effect on Zhang Tie, no matter how hard he worked at it, and it seemed that this set of incantations was not destined for him.

  Han Li's heart was also uncertain, and he didn't feel very confident. He knew that this time Zhang Tie would probably not pass the assessment, and although he had a bit of an advantage in this regard, it wasn't much better than Zhang Tie's situation.

  He had been working hard to cultivate himself, and as a result, the strange energy in his body was now more vigorous than before, having grown from the thickness of a hair to that of a cotton thread. But whether this would be enough to pass the test set by Mo Daifu, he really had no confidence in his heart, so Han Li couldn't help but feel anxious and uneasy, with his heart hanging in mid-air.

  "Are you both ready? Show me the results of your cultivation." Mo Tai Fu narrowed his eyes, sitting coldly in the armchair as he looked at the two.

  "We're ready." Han Li and the other replied stiffly.

  The doctor slowly got up from his chair and put that book which had been with him every step of the way on the table.

  "Put out your hand."

  "Let me see your skills."

  Mo Daifu grasped Zhang Tie's right wrist with one hand and placed the other on his Dan Tian.

  After a while, he withdrew his hands from Zhang Tie's body and carefully examined him up and down with an expressionless face.

  Zhang Tie's face turned bright red, he hastily put his hands behind his back and lowered his head, not daring to look at Mo Dafu again. He knew that Mo Dafu must have already noticed that he had no results from practicing the incantation, and estimated that he would not be given a good expression from now on.

  "It's your turn."

  Surprisingly, Mo Dafu didn't show any intention of scolding Zhang Tie at all. He only revealed a hint of disappointment in his eyes and turned to face Han Li again.

  Dr. Mo once again grasped the pulse of Han Li's right hand.

  "It's so cool, icy cold, it doesn't feel like a living person's hand at all." Han Li's mind was a bit noisy.

  The skin on Mo's hands was a bit dry and rough, with calluses all over, which slightly pricked Han Li's skin as he grasped it. This was the first sensation Han Li felt when Mo grabbed his hand.

  Perhaps due to external stimulation, the energy inside Han Li's body started running on its own without him even moving. It flowed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, passing through various acupoints throughout his body, from the Dan Tian to the head and then to the limbs, completing a rapid cycle before returning to the Dan Tian. As soon as this energy circulated, the slight discomfort on Han Li's skin immediately disappeared.

  "Huh!" Mo Dafu involuntarily cried out in surprise, apparently having discovered the energy within Han Li's body.

  "Hurry up and recite the incantation again." Mo Dafu's face tried to suppress his excitement, but the fervent look in his eyes still left Han Li somewhat stunned.

  "Come slowly, let me take a closer look." Dr. Mo added another sentence, his usual cold tone also becoming urgent, and put his other hand on his dantian.

  Han Li felt that Mo Daifu's hands were slightly trembling, apparently he was very excited in his heart, so he followed the words and let the energy in his body run again.

  "Not bad! Not bad! This is it, this is what I want. No mistake! Won't be wrong! Haha......"

  The doctor, after a thorough examination, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He grasped Han Li's shoulders tightly with both hands, his narrowed eyes wide open as he stared at him intently, as if looking at a rare treasure. His gaze seemed to hold a hint of madness.

  He heard Mo Daifu's loud laughter echoing in his ears, felt a slight pain on his shoulders being grabbed, and saw the crazy look on his face, which made him feel afraid.

  "Alright, alright." Dr. Mo noticed a hint of fear on Han Li's face and realized he had gotten a bit too carried away, immediately stopping his loud laughter.

  "From now on, you must work hard like this. From today on, you are my direct disciple." He let go of his hands and patted Han Li's shoulder to encourage him.

  The doctor's face regained its usual calmness, as if the previous crazy movements had never happened. However, from his occasional eager glances at Han Li, it could be sensed that he was still in a state of excitement.

  "As for you..." Mo Dafu finally shifted his gaze back to Zhang Tie.

  Zhang Tie had already been stunned by what had just happened, and it wasn't until Mo Daifu turned to him that he snapped out of it.

  Thinking of being expelled if he didn't pass the assessment, Zhang Tie looked at Mo Daifu with a gaze that couldn't help but reveal a bitter and pleading expression.

  "You're not qualified, after such a long time, you haven't even managed to cultivate anything, being my disciple is really a bit of a stretch." Mo Dafu shook his head nonstop.

  Zhang Tie's heart also sank with his shaking head.

  Both of them heard from Mo's words that he didn't want to accept Zhang Tie.

  But suddenly, Mo Dafu seemed to have thought of something interesting and looked at Zhang Tie with a strange expression.

  "But I just checked your bone structure, and there's another technique that suits you better. Are you willing to learn from me?" Mo Tai Fu's words suddenly took a turn, and he actually meant to let Zhang Tie pass.

  Zhang Tieyi heard it and thought there was a reluctant tone, so he agreed on the spot.

  "Alright, very good. You two can go down now, I'll pass on the new mental technique to you tomorrow." It can be seen that Mo Daifu's mood is quite good now, another "good, very good" slipped out of his mouth.

  Han Li and the other person looked at each other, both feeling that today's test was full of twists and turns. To their surprise, they had both passed the assessment, which made them feel very relieved.
