Chapter 1064 Them

The next day, Zijing got up from the bed, panting heavily. Theresa, who had stretched out a hand to put on his neck, was also awakened and rubbed her eyes. "Jing, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare again?"

"..."

Zijing really had a nightmare, and it was even more terrifying than the previous nightmares. In the endless darkness, a third force joined in and tore his body apart like a rag doll.

Every power wanted to possess him, even that familiar and warm power, which essentially did not want to be snatched away by other beings.

A horrible feeling...

Zijing could no longer regard this as an ordinary dream, but there was no way to tell it to others. He had a hunch that if he mentioned the existence in the dream, they would probably immediately notice him in reality.

Therefore, Zijing could only force a smile and barely comfort Theresa who was worried about her condition. She had dinner with her and Cheng Lixue, and then went to the training ground.

"You have something on your mind?"

During the afternoon practice, Fu Hua easily saw through Zijing's current state, and she was too weak to even throw a punch.

"Um……"

Since it was discovered, Zijing did not hide it, but did not say anything more.

Fu Hua looked at him silently, without forcing him, and just took out a sword, "The practice of Cunxin Fist will be temporarily suspended. Next, I will teach you 'Sword'."

"..."

If it was before, Zijing would have shown enough interest, but now he was under psychological pressure because of the reality of the "nightmare", so he just responded politely.

Fu Hua handed the sword to Zijing. She noticed that Zijing was acting strangely, but she knew that if Zijing didn't want to say it, forcing him would be useless.

"Swordsmanship is different from boxing. It requires more concentration and calmness." Fu Hua began to guide Zijing, "When holding the sword, you must forget everything and only focus on the tip of the sword, allowing it to become an extension of your will."

Zijing took the sword, feeling the coldness of the hilt and the weight of the blade. He took a deep breath and tried to focus on the sword instead of the nightmares that plagued him.

"Come, learn my moves." Fu Hua demonstrated the basic swordplay moves, starting with the most basic sword swings and moving on to more complex sword moves. Her movements were smooth and graceful, and each strike was full of power and control.

Zijing imitated Fu Hua's movements, just like when he practiced boxing before. He was a little stiff at first, but as he practiced more and more, he began to get into the state. When he was extremely focused, he had no time to care about the fear and anxiety in his heart.

"Very good, that's it." Fu Hua encouraged, "Swordsmanship is not only a fighting skill, it is also a spiritual practice. Through swordsmanship, you can learn how to control your emotions and how to face your inner fears."

"..."

Amethyst came back to her senses and nodded slightly at her, silently thanking the gray-haired girl for her help.

The sun gradually set, and Zijing's sword practice came to an end. He felt that he was in a much better mood than in the morning. Although the shadow of the nightmare still existed, he had learned how to put it aside temporarily.

"That's all for today." Fu Hua put away her sword and said to Zijing, "You did a good job. Theresa will stay with me at the training ground tonight. If you still want to stay with me, please go to Lounge No. 14. Our classroom will be arranged there."

Zijing bowed to Fu Hua and expressed her gratitude again.

No matter what the things in the nightmare are, no matter whether they are real or not, with my current ability, I cannot change the status quo whether I am anxious or not. It is better to live a normal life, at least not to let people around me worry about me.

Zijing had dinner with everyone and came to lounge No. 14. Not long after, she saw Fu Hua leading Theresa in.

Without Fu Hua's instructions, Theresa ran over excitedly as soon as she saw Zijing and sat next to him.

"Great, Jing is back to her old self!"

Theresa held both sides of Zijing's face, looked left and right, and smiled. "Jing, you have been depressed from morning to afternoon today. I was really worried that you were feeling unwell... But now it seems that you have fully recovered, Jing?"

"I'm sorry, I made you worried after all... It's nothing serious, but it's just that nightmare that made me a little listless."

Amethyst touched Theresa's head. Facing her warm and sincere smile, the boy sincerely felt fortunate that he had brought the child out of the laboratory.

"Nightmare?"

Fu Hua noticed this term and asked, "Could you elaborate on it? How could a nightmare cause such a big reaction in you?"

"..."

Zijing opened her mouth and felt her body tense inexplicably. She changed the truth she was about to tell, "I dreamed that I was thrown into a group of Honkai beasts, and my flesh was bitten off one bite at a time. That feeling was really bad..."

Theresa held Zijing's hand to comfort him, but Fu Hua could see that he was still lying and could not get any more information.

Mei asked herself to pay more attention to this child... From what she could see so far, this boy named Zijing was no different from an ordinary clone, except for his recent behavior, which was slightly different from the past, and the nightmare he mentioned... She didn't know if it would be a breakthrough point?

Dreams, which seem insignificant to ordinary people, are the most important thing in Fu Hua's eyes.

Dreams are often a reflection of the subconscious mind. As someone who has been dealing with Honkai for many years, its importance is too clear to Fu Hua.

Just... take your time.

Fu Hua was not in a hurry and began to teach Theresa, while Zijing accompanied the white-haired girl as a reading partner.

Every course from elementary school to junior high school... Fu Hua was like an all-round teacher who knew almost everything. In a short period of time, she instilled a lot of knowledge into Theresa. Although it was very basic, the girl still showed sleepiness and confusion, and almost fell asleep on Zijing's shoulder.

"She's very smart."

At the end, Fu Hua sent Zijing out of the training ground. Theresa, who fell asleep on the table as soon as the course was over, was on the latter's back. "Maybe I don't want to disappoint you."

"I didn't put any pressure on her..."

Zijing turned her head to look at Theresa's sweet sleeping face and smiled helplessly, "Anyway, thank you for today, Miss Fu Hua."

"Well, please work harder in future training. If you have any troubles... you can also come and consult me. Maybe I can give you some advice." Fu Hua hinted.

"……I will think about it."
