In the training room, Zuo Dao sliced open his finger, watching droplet by droplet of fresh blood fall, slowly drawing complex runes along the white lines on the ground.
As he drew the runes, Zuo Dao felt waves of intense irritation rising from the bottom of his heart, flashes of past memories continually appearing in his mind.
Zuo Lu stood beside him and said, "Focus and calm your mind, do not be disturbed by external forces. Resist the distortions of the Heavenly Dao."
Zuo Dao's eyes narrowed, the blood flowing from his fingertips as if alive, gradually twisting and leaping like a Spirit Snake.
Seeing this, Zuo Lu rushed over, grabbed Zuo Dao, and severed the connection between him and the runes on the ground.
Zuo Lu glared and said, "What are you thinking about? I told you to focus and ignore those illusions."
