Cultivation itself is not pleasant.
The depletion of body and spirit is often the prerequisite for improvement, and most of the time one struggles without seeing any achievements... even frequently injuring oneself in the process.
Many people who are obsessed with cultivation are not actually obsessed with the process itself, but with the feeling of constantly becoming stronger... an illusion?
Reality has already proven that the pleasure derived from normal cultivation is mostly a false illusion, and that the feeling of becoming stronger every day is probably also an illusion.
"I can even see the growth of my experience points; it can't possibly be an illusion, can it..."
Yet at this moment, Lu Ping'an might truly be the exception.
The duel is scheduled for the seventh day, so he has at most two days to make adjustments and a final "sprint to the front". His training time is once more maxed out, and the rapid experience gain is like a testament to his accomplishments.
