An Zheng thought, it was most likely because of Qu Liuer's comprehension of medicine, which had blended into her Cultivation Power. If this kind of Cultivation Power was strong to a certain degree, it might be able to return everything to its true nature.
Qu Liuer blushed and then moved towards the right. "I think I can try again."
She picked a wooden stake that was slightly thicker than the one from before and threw another punch. The fist landed on the wooden stake, exactly the same as before. The wooden pile didn't change at the beginning, but as a gentle breeze blew by, it began to split and peel off. However, in the end, the wooden threads were a little tangled, so a wooden stake with a diameter of about thirty centimeters was Qu Liuer's limit.
Du Shoushou said: "So powerful... Xiao Qi Dao, come over and try it. "
Xiao Qi Dao walked over with his little bottom moving, then mimicked Du Shoushou as he took a horse stance and punched forward with her little fist. Unfortunately, the distance was not calculated and the punch did not hit the wooden stake. Du Shoushou laughed out loud. Just as he was about to say Xiao Qi Dao, your arm is too short … He just laughed twice and a small hole appears on the wooden stake that had a diameter of forty centimeters. The hole is as big as Xiao Qi Dao's fist.
The wooden stake did not move, but it was pierced by the Xiao Qi Dao's fist wind.
"Fist wind!"
An Zheng's eyes immediately widened.
Logically speaking, it was almost impossible to produce external qi, which was also known as inner qi. Once he reached the Sumeru Stage, he would be able to cultivate sword Qi that was able to injure others from a certain distance and the Qi from his body such as the fist wind. The realm of Ascension was in fact still constantly tempering the physical body. To let the strength displayed by his muscles reach their limits, coupled with the Cultivation Power, he was able to unleash the power of his fists.
However, if they did not come into contact with it, it would be difficult for them to cause much damage. The Xiao Qi Dao was only at the Second Rank, how could he use fist wind?
An Zheng was startled for a moment, then asked: "Xiao Qi Dao, have you gotten drunk again?"
Xiao Qi Dao nodded with his childish voice: "Last night when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt dizzy. Lying on the bed, I felt like I was on a boat."
An Zheng laughed, "You are a peerless genius, you are only four years old. After four months of cultivation, you have already reached the third grade of the Elemental Realm."
Xiao Qi Dao became proud: "Big Brother An Zheng, I know something else."
He staggered to the front of a thicker wooden stake, raised his arm, and swung it downwards. That white and tender arm was actually like a knife as it cut off the wooden stake in unison. The cracks on the wooden stake were extremely flat.
Du Shoushou inhaled a breath of cold air, his face turned a little pale: "Xiao Qi Dao, I will leave Big Brother Fatty's safety in your hands in the future."
This was absolutely out of the ordinary. Even if the most basic level cultivation realm was the pure realm, it would speed up the rate at which a genius could be promoted to a fourth rank within a year. But Xiao Qi Dao is too young … Only four and a half. For a cultivator of the third grade, their physical body would become stronger, so using the form of a palm to form a blade was not difficult at all. This was because the palm was originally where the Cultivation Power was released to. Furthermore, after a long period of training, the palm had become tough.
But Xiao Qi Dao didn't use his hands, he only used his arms. How did that white and tender arm split the wooden stake? Moreover, he was actually able to transform the Cultivation Power into external energy, this was simply unimaginable.
An Zheng said seriously: "During the competition, Xiao Qi Dao will definitely not go on stage."
The others nodded, they knew what An Zheng was worried about. Once Xiao Qi Dao's talent was exposed, it would be a disaster for him. There would be a lot of people coming to snatch him, and the Xiao Qi Dao might very well become a sacrifice.
Xiao Qi Dao felt wronged: "Why can't I go and fight."
An Zheng thought for a while and said: "Before your mother left, she told me to not let you fight until I was eight years old."
Xiao Qi Dao replied with an 'oh'. His nose and eyes were red.
The Old Huo sitting in the doorway sighed, thinking that this child, Xiao Qi Dao, would definitely have a difficult time in the future. This child's physique was too strange and special. If he was nurtured and used by bad people, he would become a great demon in the future. If he could always follow An Zheng around, that would perhaps be the best choice. Old Huo was very clear about the expressions and attitude of those martial artists. If he was in any sect, he would be treated as a treasure, but that kind of preying on others' hearts and minds was very likely to ruin this child.
"Big brother An Zheng, why don't you give me a punch too?"
Xiao Qi Dao sniffed, but his face still looked like he had been wronged.
An Zheng laughed, "I... Hahahahaha … How awkward, can I not fight? "
Chapter 41 - No one moves him
In order to comfort the Xiao Qi Dao, An Zheng still threw a punch. With his current strength, breaking a wooden stake that had a diameter of over ten centimeters was already his limit. However, when Xiao Qi Dao saw this, he applauded exceptionally happily. In his opinion, Big Brother An Zheng was the strongest person in the world. Qu Liuer carefully looked at An Zheng, afraid that he wouldn't feel good about it. However, An Zheng had already adapted to it, so he did not think much of it.
"It's a bit strange."
Mad Qu leaned on the gatehouse door and took a sip of Old Huo's wine gourd: "Pei, why is it water!"
Old Huo rolled his eyes at him. "Who said that gourds need to be filled with wine?"
Mad Qu put the bottle gourd back and frowned: "I have seen the recipes that Xiao Liu'er made. They are all very good. I don't know much about cultivation and I don't know how to refine pills, but I do know a bit about the basics of pharmacology. The same recipe that was given to Du Shoushou had an effect and improved his physique. But why is it that even though An Zheng was still drinking, there isn't the slightest change to his body. "
Old Huo shrugged his shoulders. "If you don't know, how would I know?"
Mad Qu said: "Stop pretending, I know you are a master beyond this world."
Old Huo curled his lips: "Are you blind?"
Mad Qu said: "To be honest, I like this child An Zheng a lot. He is upright and honorable. It was a pity that although he was confident, his physique was too weak. Sometimes, I always feel that the world is unfair to people, how those people with bad hearts can enjoy better things, have a better future. And a good child like An Zheng will most likely remain unknown for the rest of his life. "
Old Huo: "If you like him, then are you willing to marry him to Xiao Liu'er?"
"Of course not!"
Mad Qu said in all seriousness: "Xiao Liu'er is able to cultivate, and can be considered a genius. But for An Zheng, his physique was so weak, he might never become stronger. What's the use of being a good person? I can't wrong my disciple, Xiao Liu'er will definitely find someone to do as you wish in the future. He is a peerless hero, and is extremely wealthy. "
Old Huo laughed coldly, "Is that the happiness she wants?"
Mad Qu said: "What does she know about happiness, isn't it because she wants me to make the decision?"
Old Huo said: "If I wasn't physically crippled, I would have knocked out your teeth."
Mad Qu: "I know you look down on me and feel that I am realistic. But I was preoccupied with the beautiful words in my heart, what about life? Everyone knew how to dream, and everyone was willing to have beautiful dreams. But after waking up from the dream, what should he do? Could it be that the Xiao Liu'er will follow An Zheng and drink the wind? Even if Xiao Liu'er didn't care, he was willing to be with An Zheng when he grew up. But what did An Zheng think? He needs the Xiao Liu'er to take care
of him at all times, what about his self-esteem? "
The Old Huo was silent, not knowing what to say.
The Mad Qu sighed: "So, sometimes, a person in charge of a sect is not the one and only wish of the elders, but the result of reality. If making a big wish can change the world, I would like the world peace, but what's the use. The world was still the same. The strong did not stop there, and the weak did not survive. So Old Huo … Everyone came here when they were young. When they were young, they always pursued freedom, but when they became old, they always became the kind of people that they hated when they were young. Why? "
"Because I'm old and have experienced a lot, I realized that the actions of the people I hated back then were actually correct …"
Mad Qu sighed heavily, who knew what kind of past he had experienced.
On the side of the Martial Arts Academy, An Zheng said loudly: "Just now, everyone already knew the limit of our attack, so we can roughly guess the limit of our opponent's attack. The Xiao Qi Dao is at the third stage of the Ascension Realm, if my guess is correct, the Zhou Mushan that came last time is already about the strongest disciple in the Phantom Institute. So his ultimate attack power is actually not comparable to Xiao Qi Dao's. "
"The realm of Ascension is actually a competition of strength and speed. In terms of strength, we are unable to surpass the other party, because that is the difference in strength. As long as the other party is unable to hit us, so what if their realm is stronger? "
An Zheng said: "There is no absolute difference between the Genuine Force and the Genuine Force. After reaching the Sumeru Stage, cultivators could transform the Cultivation Power into external Qi, blade Qi, sword Qi, fist wind, palm wind … But in the pure land, there was no need to worry about these things. Not everyone was an unparalleled genius like the Xiao Qi Dao. So from today onwards, everyone will temporarily give up on raising their cultivation level and switch to training speed and reaction time. "
Qu Liuer said: "But, it's only three months away from the competition, is there still time?"
An Zheng nodded, "There's still time."
He asked the Old Huo from afar: "If you don't use the Cultivation Power to enter that place, will it be alright?"
Old Huo nodded: "Yes."
An Zheng said: "That's good, now everyone can go to sleep. From now on, every day we eat, drink, and have fun. At night, I will take you guys to a place to cultivate. "
Heaven Defying Seal were indeed dangerous, and could provoke Sky Law. However, An Zheng had thought about it carefully, as long as he did not cultivate the Cultivation Power, and only train the muscles, how would he sense the Heavenly Dao? Furthermore, as long as they did not use the Cultivation Power, they would only train the body. This way, their time in the Heaven Defying Seal would not change. Three months could become thirty years, three hundred years, three thousand years. As long as An Zheng and the others were willing, they could train their body's speed and reaction time to the maximum.
This was also the only method that An Zheng had thought of after pondering for the past few days and was the only way he could defeat the Phantom Institute.
"The opponent is strong. If he hits us once, we'll lose."
An Zheng said: "We are weak, maybe we will hit the opponent ten times before we can lose. But it doesn't matter. All we have to do is make sure the other person doesn't hit us, and we can easily hit them. Remember, don't be unconfident. In the realm of Ascension, anything could happen. "
Du Shoushou waved his fist: "F * ck him!"
In the next few days, the performance of Tianqi Martial Arts School made people puzzled. Originally, every day, he would be able to see those children entering the classroom or sitting cross-legged on the martial arts practice field to sense the world. However, from this day onwards, the few of them would be having fun everyday, as if they did not care about the upcoming competition at all. This change made everyone in the Phantom Institute suspicious.
"How is that possible? Are they roasting meat? "
Standing on the third floor of the academy, Zhen Zhuangbi put down the clairvoyant in his hands. "They keep making trouble all day and do not cultivate. Impossible, these children have ordinary talent and they don't have proper teachers to guide them, how can they surpass our disciples in such a short time? Or did you give up? "
The dean of the academy, Qiu Changchen, walked out from another room, bare-chested. He had a perfect build, and the muscles of his upper body could make anyone jealous. A slender woman with a thin layer of gauze draped over her shoulders snuggled against his chest. She had a charming smile on her face. Through the gauze, one could vaguely see the beautiful scenery. Some places were like the bud of a flower, while others were like the stream of a mountain. The scenery was tempting everywhere.
After Qiu Changchen left him in Phantom Institute, he completely let himself go, and he looked like he was no longer the same vice general Tie Liuhuo.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Martial Arts Academy on the opposite side and then smiled. Zhuang Bi, it's just a few kids, what do you care so much about? "
The girl giggled, looking as seductive as a fox. Qiu Changchen's hands did not follow the rules as they moved up and down, continuously kneading. She moaned in pain, and Qiu Changchen immediately laughed, looking somewhat pleased with himself.
Zhen Zhuangbi said: "President, you might not know this, but Gao Sanduo has already made a huge gamble. This matter has now become known to the entire city. If we lose even a single match, our Phantom Institute's reputation would be ruined. "
Qiu Changchen: "Gao Sanduo is just a businessman. He knows how to use everything to earn money. However, how could he not know his limits and offend the academy for a few kids? He's not that stupid. Therefore, he must have created a fake image so that many people would think that those kids in the martial arts academy would win without a fight. That was why he had made such a big bet. But he also knows that once the people from the Martial Arts Academy win, the conflict between the academy and his casino will be irreconcilable. "
Zhen Zhuangbi: "In the end, you have to admit that you have understood everything, I cannot do it, I see too little of it."
As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the woman's chest.
"You like it?"
Qiu Changchen laughed, then pushed the woman back to Zhen Zhuangbi: "This is for you."
Zhen Zhuangbi said in fear, "I don't dare, I don't dare, I really don't dare."
Qiu Changchen: "Why would I not dare? It's just a woman. Magnificent Bey, remember, the relationship between brothers is very strong. Women are just one thing. If you like it, then take it, don't mind it. "
Zhen Zhuangbi: "Then … "Then I won't be rude."
Qiu Changchen laughed out loud, "Go on, go on."
When Zhen Zhuangbi took the woman and left, Qiu Changchen's face turned cold: "I actually dared to take it away …"
In the academy's backyard, Chen Zhou stood by the side of the road, staring blankly at a wild flower. Only when the sound of footsteps rang out did he come back to his senses. Then, he looked at the several disciples that had walked over. "Among you all, who is Zhou Mushan?"
Zhou Mushan frowned, "I am, you are that newcomer?"
Chen Zhou nodded his head. "I've heard that you are one of the candidates the academy has decided to compete with those people across from you?"
Zhou Mushan raised an eyebrow, "What? You want to challenge me?"
Chen Zhou said, "I don't want to."
Zhou Mushan laughed, "A person like you has strength and a backer, so I won't lower myself to your level. If it was anyone else, do you know that I've already crippled them? But let me tell you, do not try to provoke my position. In Phantom Institute, I have the final say. You know your own limitations and you don't dare to challenge me. "
Chen Zhou shook his head. "No, I don't want to challenge you because you're not my opponent and aren't worth my while."
Zhou Mushan's expression immediately
changed. "You look down on me?"
Chen Zhou said, "There is nothing to look down on. You are just at that level, and are not worth my attention." But since you are the one who is fighting those people on behalf of the academy, it has nothing to do with me. Remember, you can fight anyone you want but only you can't fight against someone called An Zheng. He's mine, no one can touch him. "
Zhou Mushan was so angry that he started laughing. "You little thing, don't think that your family is so powerful that you act so arrogantly. Maybe the family broke down and you ran out to take refuge, I give you face and you take it. "Who is laozi fighting with? Why should laozi listen to you?"
Chen Zhou stepped forward, and without any reaction from Zhou Mushan, his shoulder struck Zhou Mushan in the chest. Zhou Mushan was nearly a head taller than him, but he had no meaning. With this collision, Zhou Mushan flew at least ten meters away before heavily crashing into the ground. Seeing that he couldn't move, it was unknown just how many bones he had broken.
"Since you are disobedient, I can only cripple you and change you to an obedient person. Remember, in the future in Phantom Institute, I will speak my mind. Whoever disagrees can come to me. If one comes, I'll cripple it. "
Chen Zhou turned around, as if nothing had happened.
Chapter 42 - The Final Competition
An Zheng had already implemented everything that he could think of to the best of his ability, so it all depended on Du Shoushou and the rest. An Zheng was confident in his own strategy, the only uncertain factor was the Xiao Qi Dao. If the Xiao Qi Dao's physique was discovered by him, he might fail to live up to the Great Mother Ye's request. It was clear that the Great Mother Ye did not wish for the Xiao Qi Dao to appear in front of the soldiers, otherwise, he would not leave alone.
