Ancient Strengthening Techniques: Chapter 17 - The Eldest Grandson of the Qing Clan
Although she knew that the path she wanted to walk was a long and difficult one, Qing Shui had the most confidence in himself.
“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 was able to sense that the current strength he was capable of using, 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 state of body, he had no doubt that he was more than competent enough to protect himself! " Qing Shui was very pondering. 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 hold back. The barrier from the peak of the 3rd tier Ancient Strengthening Technique, would only be harder to break through.
"Mother will be back in a few days, I will say goodbye to her later," Qing Shui decided, convinced that his choice to explore the world outside Qing Village was the right one.
“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 nothing but trash .. ”Despite the fact that Qing Shui never admitted himself as trash, he had no choice but to admit it now.
“It is very inconvenient to carry an item 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 strength 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 take 2 weeks to a month to recover with just one punch! ” Qing Shui confidently stated.
“In the face of absolute power, all strategies become meaningless. Using strength to counteract the intricacies of the technique, and not to mention the Solidary Rapid Fist the most certain one is a top-tier martial technique, if I can execute a position with my 10,000 jin strength level, then, 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, the world is so vast, the only way to progress on the path of cultivation is continuous 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 cross to another realm. Entering the 4th layer meant passing the mid-level threshold for the Ancient Strengthening Technique. Back then 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 layered sky of the Ancient Strengthening Technique.
"Ai, Qing Shui, it's you!". A voice called out her name just as she was in the middle of her reflection.
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 with him.
This 25-year-old Qing Zi, with an upright appearance, she was also extremely large, with a tiger back and a bear waist, giving off a brave giant-like 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 Warrior, Cla.s.s 6 were all busy spending their time honing their martial techniques.
“Keke, can't I take a break after making a breakthrough?” Qing Zi scratched her head and said somewhat straightforwardly. Seeing Qing Zi's comical actions, Qing Shui felt the distance between them getting shorter. After all, their age difference is not too big, there are still interesting topics to talk about between them.
“Ah, another breakthrough? Congratulations to Qing Zi! ” Qing Shui is happy to congratulate Qing Zi. Qing Shui knew that if it was another 3rd generation disciple who made the same statement, there would definitely be mockery clues hidden inside, though, secretly and cynically hinted to Qing Shui that he was nothing but trash. But Qing Zi was different. She was known for her honesty, she also found Qing Shui to be a straightforward person so they really got along well together. 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 have to work hard too! 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'm sure you'll 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 her 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, competition among 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 become a follower of a large clan.
Qing Shui asked this was very normal, Qing Zi, after his current breakthrough was the strongest within the 3rd generation disciples of the Qing Clan. At least, it was visible on the surface. He was the person with the highest possibility of becoming the Clan Head! Furthermore, even though Qing Zi was honest and forthright basically, she had the ability to look far and think ahead, and knew Qing Luo's intelligence, she said, 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 disappointed by it? After all, the person who broke through to the Xian Tian realm is my own cousin ” Qing Zi said straightforwardly.
Qing Shui didn't know if Qing Zi was saying this honestly or if it was 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.
"Brother Qing Zi, 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, far 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 color and excitement, hopes and dreams of young men who paint the sky with its radiance. " Qing Shui had always diligently focused on his cultivation and had never come out of Qing Village before. He had never even been to Hundred Miles City; a pink color dyed his cheeks as he thought sadly. Although airplanes and cars do not exist in this world, there are other means of transportation such as horseback riding. Traveling to Hundred Miles City only takes 2 hours on horseback.
“I heard Grandpa declare that the outside world is full of 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 remain in the Qing Clan, rather than go to waste your life. " Qing Zi said quietly, obscurity filled 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 across continents easily and have a name that will resonate across generations!
"There will definitely be a day, when we have a foothold in the cultivation world, we will become like kings and kings who look down on this piece of land with disdain," qing Shui said firmly with a cold hint that passed through his eyes.
Qing Zi glanced at Qing Shui, startled. He never thought that Qing .Shui would have the courage 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! Strange…
