(00:00):
Jacob dodged away and grabbed her dainty hand when Sophie
tried to punch him. Surprisingly, Sophie had another
strike waiting for him. She formed a fist with her other
hand and aimed it at Jacob's stomach and punched him hard.
She pulled her arm back and looked at Jacob fiercely.
There was a knock at the door right at that moment and both of
(00:21):
them straightened themselves. Come in.
Announced Sophie and Dracon pushed open the door and
entered. How's the tutoring going?
He asked as he walked over to Jacob.
Jacob said as he rubbed his aching stomach.
It it's going pretty well, Sir. Sophie's face turned red as she
(00:43):
didn't know what to say. Sophie's English is very poor.
We wanted to find her a tutor but she wouldn't agree.
That's why we had to ask you to help her study.
Dracon said to Jacob. Yeah, she's working pretty hard,
Jacob said. Sophie looked at Jacob in
(01:04):
surprise. She didn't think he would say
something nice about her. Dracon looked at Jacob and said.
How's your cultivation going? Did the Spirit concentration
scroll by Elder Liam work for you?
Nothing seems to be happening, Jacob replied.
Take your time. He put his hand on Jacob's
(01:27):
shoulder and said. Come with me.
He led Jacob to the attic on thetop floor.
Sophie was curious and followed them.
This is Sophie's mother's studioat home, but she normally
doesn't use it at night. After you finish tutoring
Sophie, you can come here to cultivate, Draycon said.
(01:50):
Jacob looked around, the studio was smaller than 10 square
meters, but it was decorated elegantly and seemed cozy.
It didn't feel small at all. Through the small window, one
could view the backyard that wasfilled with vivid greens and it
looked very eye pleasing. Dracon noticed Sophie pouting
(02:12):
and asked. What is it darling?
Daddy, do you like Jacob more than me?
I am not even allowed to enter this studio.
Why is it that he can cultivate here?
Sophie said sourly. How about you do your homework
here and he gets to cultivate inyour bedroom?
(02:34):
Dracon asked her. No way, said Sophie immediately.
That's right, go do your homework now.
Dracon meant business, and so Sophie left unwillingly.
Draycon looked at Jacob and immediately began explaining the
cultivation technique. There are actually 3 levels in
(02:57):
the Spirit Concentration Scroll.The first level is to
communicate with heaven and earth, feel the energy in
nature, and purify your body at the same time.
The second level is to guide theenergy into your body.
This process is very slow, but it really helps strengthen your
(03:20):
body. The third level is to release
the energy around your body. You can only cultivate other
more formal cultivation techniques after passing the
third level. Jacob looked at Dracon as he
listened to him carefully. He finally understood that
(03:41):
Dracon wanted to guide him with the cultivation himself and
wasn't leaving it up to Sophie. The first level of communicating
with Heaven and Earth also has some techniques to it.
Dracon faced Jacob and explainedclearly and slowly.
(04:02):
Jacob was touched because he thought Drakon took some time
out of his busy schedule to explain these terms to him.
If the elders saw that the Dragon King was himself
explaining these basic terms to Jacob, they would find this
incredibly shocking. However, Jacob was utterly
oblivious to Drakon's identity. Barring the fact that he was a
(04:22):
king, Jacob had no idea what theduties and powers his role
entailed and how revered and feared he was.
Jacob understood that swallowingthe internal core was a
dangerous act. If he didn't follow through the
Dragon Clans cultivation technique to meditate and
suppress the energy of the internal core, his body would
(04:43):
explode sooner or later. Due to the growing power of the
Dragon Core, Jacob now was more eager to cultivate than ever.
According to Dracon, the Dragon Core was also a supreme treasure
of the world. A Dragon's body was innately
born with a dragon core. It is due to the core that the
(05:04):
Dragons become so strong and powerful.
The time seemed to fly quickly as Jacob learned the cultivation
technique with Dracon, and it was 930 in the evening.
Sir, I should go back now, our dorms curfew is 10:00.
Jacob noticed the clock ticking and said hastily.
(05:25):
All right, I still have half of the technique left to explain,
but we can talk about it tomorrow.
Dracon let Jacob out of the studio.
All right, I'll come see you tomorrow then, Said Jacob.
I'll drive you back. Dracon said in an undisputable
(05:45):
tone. Jacob wanted to refuse at first,
but he nodded because he thoughtDracon had more to say to him.
They stepped out of the house and Dracon got out his black
Chevrolet from the garage. Jacob got in the car silently as
the car engine started. He waited for Dracon to begin
talking. However, Dracon focused on
(06:08):
driving the car and didn't say anything.
Jacob had many questions, but somehow he couldn't muster up
the courage to ask him anything.Dracon drove Jacob to the
entrance of the dorm by 9:45. Come again at the same time
tomorrow and tutor Sophie after dinner.
Dracon said after he parked at the entrance of the dorm.
(06:32):
OK, thank you Sir. Jacob said as he got out of the
car. Dracon nodded and drove away.
Jacob dragged his feet to his dorm, he was tired.
As soon as he reached his floor,Sam and others surrounded him.
Hey man, since when do you get round trip services in fancy
(06:52):
cars? Are you dating a rich girl?
I'm not dating anyone. I just finished tutoring someone
and her dad drove me back. Jacob tried to stay as honest as
he could. How come I never meet a rich
girl? Not just rich, pretty too.
Rich girls are pretty anyhow. Sam seemed to be talking more to
(07:12):
himself now. Jacob climbed up to his bed as
Sam and the others babbled on about women.
Jacob's fortunes seem to be smiling down at him.
A lot of women have been giving him attention this year.
First a cute girl comes to meet him on campus, then the
prettiest teacher in college, Susan calls him to her office,
(07:32):
and finally the class president,Kathy, crushing on him.
Jacob didn't want the conversation to continue, so he
began pretending to read. But actually, he was feeling
enlightened after learning the cultivation technique and was
eager to try it out. He began following Dracon's
instructions and went deep into his concentration.
(07:54):
He maintained the meditative state for a while and let the
weak energy flow through the various Accu points in his body.
The energy kept flowing from hishead to toes and back till it
finally reached the center of the body.
The energy finally reached his abdomen where his internal
dragon core was situated. As soon as the energy hit the
(08:15):
internal core, the core began tovibrate and the vibration could
be felt throughout his body. Jacob felt an internal knock on
his forehead, and his body's vibrations seem to be taking in
the external energy. He felt strengthened as the
heavenly and earthly spiritual energy flowed inside him.
His whole body suddenly became light, it felt like he was
(08:39):
rising higher and higher to an inextinguishable power.
Jacob tried to enjoy this refreshing experience.
He didn't expect the breakthrough of the spirit
concentration scrolls. First level would be this easy.
Look at the glow on your face. Did your fairy godmother visit
you last night? Sam chuckled as he walked
(09:00):
alongside Jacob. Going out with a rich girl has
given him a different aura. Another roommate said as he
rubbed his chin. The three room mates were all
eyeing Jacob with a grin. He has grace and elegance in his
every move. The third roommate said in a
teasing voice. They had been teasing him, but
(09:20):
Jacob did feel his aura had changed.
Ever since he made the breakthrough last night.
It seemed he had merged with nature.
Although he couldn't absorb the essence of nature yet, he had a
faint feeling that he himself was the nature.
He had this feeling after he hadjust reached the first level of
the basic cultivation technique,but he was not a true cultivator
(09:41):
yet. No wonder Sophie's third uncle
Kenneth regarded mortals with disdain.
Jacob reflected while he savoredthe changes in his body.
Jacob and his three room mates were on their way to class when
they met some of the girls from their class who had just come
out of the cafeteria after breakfast.
Kathy was one of them. She looked at Jacob and was
(10:03):
about to brush past him to take her usual seat in the front, but
she felt something strange and she turned to take a good look
at Jacob. Weird.
He is wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
There's something different about his presence.
Kathy was a little confused by his appearance.
(10:24):
She brushed away her thoughts and shook her head.
She continued walking toward theclass.
Kathy looked at you twice. Have you 2 been seeing each
other? Sam asked Jacob with a wink.
Jacob snorted. How is that possible?
In his heart, Kathy was not onlythe class president, but one of
(10:45):
the most popular girls in the university as well.
She was way out of his league. Besides, he was engaged.
The roommates walked into the classroom just before the class
began, taking a window seat to get some fresh air.
Jacob dugout his study material and started to get ready for his
tutoring session with Sophie. Why didn't you reply to my text
(11:10):
yesterday? In the middle of class, Jacob
received a text message from Kathy.
Hurriedly, he looked down and answered her message.
You mean about the long distancerun?
I got it, you are the only participant in our class and
only 6 have been selected in ourwhole major to enter the games.
I hope you won't disappoint me. She sent another text message.
(11:35):
All of a sudden, Jacob had a palpable amount of pressure.
The biennial athletic games in the university was a competition
held among all the students regardless of age.
The most athletic students selected from the 10s of
thousands of students in the university would compete with
one another. It was a big show.
Jacob had been a renowned long distance runner in high school,
(11:58):
but he had never entered any inter school competitions.
In the evening, Jacob again tookthe bus to Sophie's home.
No longer a stranger, Jacob was not as reserved as last time.
However, he still remained silent on topics about their
family. After dinner, Helen declined to
Jacob's offer to clean the tablefor her and asked him to tutor
Sophie. Reluctantly, Sophie followed
(12:20):
Jacob up to the second floor. Time went by quickly.
Sophie wrapped her brains and finally finished the quiz.
Are you sure you were really good at it?
With her chin propped up in her palm, Sophie was spinning a
ballpoint pen with the other hand and watched Jacob mark her
paper earnestly. She had changed out of her
(12:41):
school uniform into a short T-shirt with a kitten print on
the front and a red Plaid skirt.Jacob was trying not to get
distracted by how unbelievably cute she looked.
If you learn earnestly with me, it won't be too difficult for
you to be one of the top three in your class.
Jacob scrawled a big red score of 30 on the paper before
(13:01):
returning it to her. Jacob had seen the books in
Helen's studio and knew her English was excellent.
He wondered how her daughter didn't pick up the language from
her. At the end of the one hour
tutoring session, the upper end of Sophie's ballpoint pen was
almost chewed off, showing how much she resented studying.
(13:22):
Jacob, follow me upstairs. Dracon showed up by the door
promptly after the study session.
OK. Putting down the papers, Jacob
followed Dracon up the small stairs into the studio.
It seems that you have broken through level 1.
Draycon asked when they were inside the studio.
(13:46):
It seems so. I feel that my body has been
unlocked. Well, good job.
However, the first level is quite simple.
Today I will teach you the next part.
Draycon looked calm, without anysigns of surprise or joy.
(14:06):
Jacob sat down and listened to him patiently, wondering what
realm Dracon had reached. Whatever realm Dracon was in, it
couldn't be low. Jacob had never dreamed of
flying in the sky, entering the earth, shattering the mountains,
and tumbling the oceans. Saving his own life was his
purpose, and if he achieved someaccomplishments in his
(14:28):
cultivation, he would be more confident in helping Sophie
survive the crisis when the timecame.
Of course, he knew that Sophie'sfamily was trying their best to
help him, though strictly speaking, Sophie had caused all
this trouble. However, they would rather place
their own daughter at risk than sacrificing innocent Jacob.
That alone showed more wisdom and fairness than most parents
(14:50):
could ever have. Soon it was 930, and Dracon had
explained every point of the Spirit Concentration scroll in
detail. You can come back at the same
time tomorrow, then you can cultivate by yourself and ask me
whenever you have any questions.Glancing up at the clock, Dracon
(15:13):
instructed. Jacob nodded.
Walking out of the studio to thesecond floor, he entered
Sophie's room and found her working hard on her homework.
Not wanting to interrupt her, hegathered his tutoring materials
and quietly left the room. I'll drive you back.
Dracon appeared at the door and offered.
(15:34):
Thank you. Jacob accepted.
On the way back to school, Dracon suddenly asked.
Can you drive? I got my license last summer,
but I'm still a beginner. Jacob answered.
How about I buy you a car so youcan come and go with ease?
(15:55):
Which one would you like? A Chevrolet or a Volkswagen?
Draycon asked casually, as if hewas talking about a $10 toy
instead of a car worth thousandsof dollars.
It's not necessary. I can always take a cab back to
my college. Jacob said in a hurry.
Draycon didn't pursue the topic.He drove Jacob to the dorm
(16:18):
building in silence. OK, please tell Sophie that I
have to participate in the athletic games next week, and
I'll have to practice. I'll resume the tutoring
sessions next Tuesday, OK? Dracon restarted the car with a
steady hand and disappeared around the corner.
(16:39):
A calm father-in-law. A gentle mother-in-law.
A willful young fiance. What more will come my way?
Inhaling deeply, Jacob walked into the dorm building.
When he got into his dorm room, his three roommates were still
out. Apparently they were at an
Internet cafe playing games. Opening his backpack, Jacob was
(17:01):
in the progress of reorganizing the tutoring material and saw
that a big pig head had been drawn on the title page of his
high school English test bank. A coarse nose, bulging eyes,
droopy ears and thick lips on the side were the words I'm the
pig head owner of this sad book.Gazing at the caricature of the
(17:22):
pig head that was meant to look ugly but actually looked a bit
like him, Jacob chuckled. Is Drake and really fond of
Jacob? Are things as simple as Jacob
assumes? What does the future hold for
him? We will find out over the next
few episodes. Stay tuned.
