Although she knew that the path she wanted to walk was a long and difficult one, Qing Shui was very confident.
“15 years.. It's been 15 years since he was born in Qing Village, maybe it's time to explore Kyushu's world. Reaching the peak of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, Qing Shui could feel that the current strength he was able to exert, was over 10,000 jin based solely on the strength of his body alone. Moreover, with his hidden weapon techniques as well as his disbelieving body condition, he had no doubt that he was more than competent enough to protect himself!” Qing Shui pondered deeply. If he had not experienced the trials of the world, and faced real danger through life and death situations, he would not have been able to control himself. The peak congestion of the 3rd layer Ancient Strengthening Technique, would only be harder to break through.
“Mother will be back in a few days, I will say goodbye to her,” Qing Shui decided, convinced that his choice to explore the world outside Qing Village is the right choice.
“Why do people in legends that transcend dimensions always have god weapons or storage rings but I don't even have a single thing (-_-). The main character of the legend was always a genius but here I am, a living example of someone who has transcended dimensions, yet I am just trash.” Despite the fact that Qing Shui had never recognized himself as trash, he had no choice but to admit it now.
“It is very inconvenient to carry items without a storage ring, but at the very least, I still have the Ancient Strengthening Technique. Thanks to that, my body's toughness had reached an unimaginable state, capable of exerting a force of over 10,000 jin. Moreover, my strength is now roughly equivalent to the realm of Martial Soldiers, Class 7, mwehehe. Through my observations over the past few years, I, I dare say that I can send most 3rd generation disciples lying on the ground with injuries that will take them 2 weeks to a month to recover with just one punch! Qing Shui confidently stated.
“In the face of absolute power, all strategies are meaningless. Using strength to counteract the intricacies of the technique, and not to mention Solidary Rapid Fist was definitely a top-tier martial technique, if I could execute horses with a strength of 10,000 jin, he said, attacking the weaknesses and acupoints of my opponents. , I will definitely make them paralyzed with every move I make.” Qing Shui sneered.
Qing Shui muttered to himself after he left the Qing Hu residence. He was extremely arrogant when he thought of the many things he had learned. However, Qing Shui had matured from before, and was able to control his ego.
“I must not be arrogant and overestimate myself, this world is huge, the only way to progress on the path of cultivation is constant improvement!” Qing Shui silently reminded himself.
Reaching the peak of the 3rd layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique felt incredible, but being unable to make a breakthrough made Qing Shui feel helpless. In his heart, he longed for the strength he could use in the 4th layer. However, the 4th layer represents a crossing to another realm. Entering the 4th layer meant crossing the intermediate level threshold for the Ancient Strengthening Technique. At that time his body and strength would probably be further refined by a crazy margin. Qing Shui also wanted the skill he would unlock in the 4th tier heaven Ancient Strengthening Technique.
“Ai, Qing Shui, it's you!”. A voice called out his name just as he was contemplating.
Raising his head, Qing Shui realized that it was the eldest grandson of the Qing Clan, Qing Zi, who called out to him. Qing Zi was basically very friendly, although she rarely interacted with Qing Shui. However, every time they interacted, Qing Zi was quite friendly to him.
This 25-year-old Qing Zi, with an upright appearance, she was also extremely large, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, giving off a fearless giant appearance..
“Brother Qing Zi, how could you find the time to come here today?” Qing Shui found it a bit strange for Qing Zi to be here today. After all for the disciples of the 3rd generation who had broken through to Martial Soldiers, the 6th Grade were all busy spending their time honing their martial techniques.
“keke, can't I take a breath after making a breakthrough?” Qing Zi scratched her head and said straightforwardly. Seeing Qing Zi's cute action, Qing Shui felt the distance between them shorten. After all, their age difference was not too great, there would still be interesting topics to discuss between them.
“Ah, another breakthrough? Congratulations to Qing Zi's brother!” Qing Shui happily congratulated Qing Zi. Qing Shui knew that if there were other 3rd generation disciples making the same statement, there would definitely be signs of ridicule hidden within them, he said, secretly and sarcastically hinted to Qing Shui that he was nothing but trash. But Qing Zi was different. She was known for her straightforwardness, she also found Qing Shui to be such a straightforward person that they really got along well. If Qing Zi had been in Qing Shui's world before, he would have been known as a fool who was easily deceived.
Qing Zi smiled reproachfully, as if the breakthrough had happened just out of luck and not her own efforts..
“Qing Shui, you also have to work hard! Let me know if you need help, I'll do my best to help you. ” Qing Zi said simply. Just from these simple words, Qing Shui could feel the sincerity in Qing Zi's heart.
: I believe you will be able to achieve it. If you succeed in surpassing me, I'll be happy for you. The stronger you are, the happier I am!” Qing Zi laughed as she patted Qing Shui on the shoulder.
“Why? Why would you be happy if I was stronger than you? Qing Shui curiously asked. He knew that especially in the larger clans, the competition within the clan members was fierce. After all, the strongest disciples in that generation had hopes that they would become the clan head someday..
Nevertheless, the tail of a phoenix could not compare to a chicken head! One would rather be the head of a small clan than be the retainer of a large clan.
Qing Shui asking this was very normal, Qing Zi, after his breakthrough was currently the strongest among the 3rd generation disciples of the Qing Clan. At least it appeared on the surface. He was the person with the highest possibility of becoming the Clan Head! Moreover, even though Qing Zi was basically honest and straightforward, she had the ability to look far and think ahead, and know Qing Luo's intelligence, she had the ability to look far and think ahead, Qing Shui was able to deduce that it was just a matter of sooner or later, the position of the Clan Head would be given to Qing Zi.
“Because it is simple .. we are one family, if one day, you manage to enter the Xian Tian Realm, you will become the pride of our family, how will I be angry because of it? After all, the one who broke through to the Xian Tian realm was my own cousin” Qing Zi said bluntly.
Qing Shui didn't know if Qing Zi was saying this honestly or because he was an idiot. But still, he felt very happy to have Qing Zi as someone he could rely on.
Qing Shui and Qing Zi chatted as they walked side by side.
“Qing Zi Brother, are you going to get out of Qing Village?” Qing Shui asked indifferently.
Qing Zi was not surprised by Qing Shui's question. He scratched his head and smiled, “The furthest I have ever visited is the Hundred Miles City, it is much more prosperous and flourishing than our Qing Village in this remote region.”
“Brother Qing Zi, have you ever thought of going see the outside world before? A world full of colors and excitement, hopes and dreams of the young men who paint the sky with its radiance.” Qing Shui had always focused on his cultivation and had never come out of the Qing Village before. He had never even been to the Hundred Miles City; a pink color dyed his cheeks as he thought sadly. Although planes and cars do not exist in this world, there are other means of transportation such as horseback riding. The trip to Hundred Miles City only takes 2 hours on horseback.
“I heard Grandpa declare that the outside world is filled with danger, betrayal of your friend can come at any time, You can only trust yourself. If you have not reached a certain level of strength, it would be better to stay in the Qing Clan, rather than go out to waste your life. Qing Zi said grimly, mist filling her eyes.
From the misty look in Qing Zi's eyes, it could be seen that she too, was eager to stand in the world outside of Qing Village. Which young man is not filled with dreams? One day to become an expert, travel through the continent easily and have a name that will resonate across generations!
“There will definitely be a day, when we have a foothold in the world of cultivation, we will be like nobles and kings who look down on this piece of land with disdain” Qing Shui firmly said with a hint of coldness that flashed in his eyes.
Qing Zi glanced at Qing Shui, surprised. He never thought that Qing Shui's trash would have the guts to say such words.
At this moment, Qing Shui gave Qing Zi an unfathomable sensation, emitting a deep and immeasurable feeling. Qing Zi really felt inadequate in front of Qing Shui! Weirdo…..
