Chapter 142 Re-Recognition

  Endless darkness! Endless perversion!

  In the vast ocean of knowledge, one can't feel the passage of time at all. As long as one's mind is not focused, they will fall asleep at any moment and wake up again after a while, repeating this cycle over and over.

  Since Hu Gao crossed over, he had been tense and felt extremely tired. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply exiled himself, allowing his body and mind to thoroughly relax.

  At first, this feeling was especially wonderful. I didn't have to think about anything or do anything. This is the best thing that has happened to Hu Ge in over 20 years!

  However, gradually, every time it was his turn to wake up, Hu Gao would discover that loneliness is a kind of illness.

  If the brain is an endless ocean, then Hu Gao has studied every drop of water in it. Their faces, shapes, characteristics, and even names are all etched in his memory.

  After that, Hu Gao could only moan in pain, unable to find anything to do. This mood began to constantly torment his consciousness, like the sea eroding the land. As endless years passed, Hu Gao found that his frequency of waking up began to increase, but each time he woke up for an extremely short period.

  At this time, even if he wanted to recall something, he found it hard to do so. He even hoped that he would never wake up again and just sink forever.

  "Awesome! I'm convinced by you!"

  A burst of thunderous sound, like a bolt of lightning, shocked Hu Gao awake. The towering waves that were pounding the earth suddenly disintegrated in an instant and transformed into a pool of gentle water.

  Hu Gao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that if it weren't for the influence of his fellow villager, he might have lost consciousness and truly died.

  Human consciousness is sometimes really strange. No matter how calm a person is when facing death, at the moment of true demise, there is a resistant psychology in every person's subconscious, which is instinct!

  "Judging from your catchphrase, fellow countryman, it seems like we're from the same era." Hu Gao smiled subconsciously in his heart. Being able to come back from death gave him a sense of survival after a disaster, which made him feel that his mental strength had been strengthened to some extent.

  "Put away your boring black humor, I think even if Wang Baoqiang traveled through time, he wouldn't be worse than you! You didn't even use the meditation techniques I taught you, and yet you're willing to sink into darkness! If you can't even bear this little bit of loneliness, do you think I've been spending these dark years in a good way?"

  The old countryman's voice calmed down, as if his previous speech had been too strenuous and left him somewhat spiritually weakened.

  Hú Gāo Lěng le, he indeed forgot this time. In fact, whether it was the law or the original decision, he had sorted them out in his mind before, but human inertia made him overlook that the meditation law didn't need a physical body to cultivate.

  Watts, scolded himself, he knew his problem was still due to the lack of a truly strong heart! Fortunately, there was a reminder from his fellow countryman, which allowed him to whip himself up at any time. It seemed that having someone living in his brain wasn't such a bad thing after all.

  "Alright, I take back what I said earlier, I want to become stronger!"

  "Are you no longer concerned about the issue of face?" Old fellow Wanwan didn't expect that Hu Gao would suddenly become soft, earlier in their confrontation, he couldn't help but speak up first, preparing to tell Hu Gao some answers.

  "It doesn't matter anymore, ants don't need to know how the universe was born. From this moment on, I will work hard to cultivate myself and never let you see me again, being beaten until I'm unconscious and appearing in front of you!"

  "In the morning, you smell fart; in the evening, you stink to death! Remember, no matter what kind of secret method you get, the meditation principles I teach you are the key points. As for everything you saw in the Yao Mu tomb, all I can tell you is that not all of it is true!"

  "Do you also know about Emperor Yao's tomb?" Hu Gao found himself actually having no secrets at all.

  "Idiot! I'm right in your mind, do you think you can hide anything from me?!" The old man's voice unconsciously rose by eight degrees, "Alright, hurry up and roll back now, the fact that you woke up earlier is thanks to the people outside, not me!"

  "Who's outside?" Hu Gao wondered to himself, and the next moment a white light suddenly shot towards him, his eyes reflexively closing instantly.

  When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of Hu Gao was a cold and terrifying face. The two eyes were almost squeezed together with the bridge of the nose, and sweat dripped from the forehead onto Hu Gao's face, wetting it.

  "Cloud Abundance?"

  Hu Gao never thought that the person who saved him, as spoken by his fellow villager, would actually be Yun Feng!

  "Hu Gao!" Hearing Hu Gao's voice, Yun Feng's tense face suddenly relaxed, instantly turning from anger to joy. "Wutzefack, Hu Gao really woke up!"

  The white-clothed swordsman couldn't help but utter a classic phrase from Hu Gao, the tail tone of which was too heavy, and the echo resonated in Hu Wushuang's boudoir, lingering on.

  Of course, this was no longer Hu Wushuang's boudoir. She had set up a new bedroom in the west wing as her resting place. Hearing Yunfeng's shout, she furrowed her brow and hesitated for a moment before hurrying over.

  "Unparalleled Young Master, the method of the Nine Elders is indeed effective! It's truly inconceivable!" Yun Feng exclaimed excitedly after seeing Hu Wu Shuang, unable to contain his agitated emotions.

  "I told you, the successor of our Hu family is not so easily killed." Hu Wushuang's face was cold as frost. Earlier, she had secretly discussed recent events with several elders and also learned that Hu Gao had been further confirmed by the family as the successor. Although this result made her a bit uncomfortable, she knew she was powerless to change it!

  "What? Now you admit that I am the successor?" Hu Gao still remembered that Hu Wushuang was unwilling to marry him back then because she looked down on him. He did not expect this guy to say such a thing today.

  "What's the point, you made the bet yourself and can't back down now. You only have seven days left, so think carefully about how to win against me with your current physical condition." Hu Wushuang later learned from Yang Le about Hu Gao's performance in the martial arts competition. As a renowned Tongtian realm warrior, he couldn't even defeat three late-stage Condensation realm warriors. It was really unknown where his confidence came from to challenge himself.

  "Seven days?" Hu Gao was taken aback. He remembered that there should be more than ten days left, had he been unconscious for so long?

  Yun Feng had been staying at the clan leader's house to take care of Hu Gao. It was from Yang Lei's mouth that he heard some things about Hu Gao and Wuxiang. He thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go find Yang Lei. If she knows Hu Gao has woken up, she'll definitely be very happy. You two chat first."

  Hu Gao was speechless, when did this wooden guy Yun Feng become so worldly?

  Hú Wúsuǒ's face changed slightly, earlier when she came back, she had heard people in the family talking about her marrying Hú Gāo, she knew these things were all spread by her father to force her to marry Hú Gāo, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

  Confucius and Mencius once said that a gentleman does not transfer his anger. But she was just annoyed at Hu Gao, "You've been asleep for ten days, why don't you just die and be done with it?"

  "Ten days?" Hu Gao was also surprised to hear this number, the previous few times he had fainted hadn't lasted this long, this time it really was extremely dangerous, "So you think I almost died because you were afraid?"

  "You're neither Qing Gao nor the Guardian Deity, I just want to know who you really are?" Hu Wu Shuang sighed, looking at this familiar yet strange face, her emotions were extremely complicated.

  As the young master of the Ning City Hu family, she has never lacked admirers since childhood. Even Bai Xiaodao, a genius from the Ze White clan, had expressed his affection for her in the past. However, for someone who was influenced by her father from a young age, family came first, and she did not want personal relationships to become an obstacle on her path to martial arts.

  It was precisely because of this that when her father let her marry the so-called Guardian God, her heart was filled with contradictions! She had not expected that for the sake of the family, the ability she truly valued was actually to entice the successor, and in fact, regardless of whether Hu Gao was true or false, she could not accept this arrangement.

  But just before seeing Hu Gao's impending death, as a woman's nature, Hu Wushuang felt her heart soften, she was somewhat unsure of how to face this greatly changed Hu Gao, and in the depths of her heart, she actually began trying to want to understand him...

  "I don't know who I am either." Hu Gao felt a bit down, and he could sense the emotions that Hu Wushuang was conveying. "Maybe I'm just some kind of spiritual incarnation of the Guardian God you've been talking about, or maybe I'm something else entirely strange. But what does it matter? I exist, so it's reasonable! No matter how you look at me, I'll live a good life and make myself strong!"

  "Is existence reasonable?" Hu Wushuang repeated Hu Gao's words over and over again, as if he had come to some sort of realization.

  "That's right, I know the Hu family has many secrets that haven't been told to me, and you don't really consider me as one of your own, but I think someday, you will accept me." Hu Gao smiled self-deprecatingly. He came alone to this strange continent, with no memories, no relatives, destined to be lonely, yet he also yearned for recognition from others.

  Hu Wushuang never thought she would have such a long and peaceful conversation with Hu Gaoping. She suddenly discovered that this sharp-tongued person wasn't as annoying as she had imagined. "I'm curious, what's your relationship with Yang Le's father? He's come over several times in the past few days, looking like he's worried about you."

  "Her father? Worried about me?" Hu Gao was somewhat perplexed.

  "Luo Luo's father is the head of the War Institute. After you were ambushed that day, he personally chased after the killer, but was still outrun by him."

  Hu Wushuang's explanation only made Hu Gaoyi more confused: "Yang Le's father is actually the head of the War Institute? I've never seen him before!"

  "Don't you really know the Dean?" Hu Wu Shuang was also somewhat puzzled, "Forget it, you've just recovered, don't think about these things. Wait until the Dean comes later, and the mystery will naturally be revealed."

  "En." Hu Gao nodded his head.

  *Cough*

  The door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a middle-aged man in a brown robe led Yang Le and Yun Feng into the room.

  When he saw the middle-aged man's face, Hu Gao was so surprised that his mouth opened wide, like a cracked open melon, and it didn't close for half a day!
