Chapter 78: Qi Gathering Minor Success

【Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan · Minor Success (100/500)】

Once he comprehended the Explosive Xiong Jin, the progress of the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan increased by a large margin; he remembered it was only eighty-something before, and now it had directly reached one hundred.

"Senior Brother Xu, congratulations!"

Qiu Wenjie, Zhang Hong, and the others stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

The Explosive Xiong Jin was a milestone sign of the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan; being able to comprehend it was definitely something worth being happy about.

Being at the same level of just entering Qi Gathering, someone who had comprehended the Explosive Xiong Jin could easily defeat someone who hadn't.

"Junior Brother Xu, congratulations."

Sun Tao also stepped forward to offer congratulations, but he had a look of sighing on his face.

Xu Yang's comprehension was not inferior to Lu Ren's, but it was a pity that he had some arrogance and was unwilling to marry into the Liu family; otherwise, a year later at the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent, he might have been able to obtain the title of Martial Scholar.

If he could obtain the title of Martial Scholar, this comprehension that was not inferior to Lu Ren's might have had a time when it was truly put to use.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a muffled sound came from afar.

Everyone's expression couldn't help but change, because the place where the muffled sound came from was the courtyard where Lin Cheng was.

Sun Tao couldn't care about talking to Xu Yang and immediately walked over quickly.

"What happened? Why would Master be angry?" Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

After a while, Sun Tao returned with a livid face.

Without waiting for the many disciples to ask, he took the initiative to speak: "News just came that an A-minus innate talent disciple has appeared at the Fierce Wind Hall, and was personally accepted as a disciple by the Hall Master, Ji Yun."

As soon as these words were spoken, a crowd of Qi Gathering disciples couldn't remain calm.

Lu Ren's B-plus innate talent was something Weiyuan Martial Hall might not even receive one of in a year, while this A-minus innate talent was something the entire Qingyuan County might not produce in several years.

The main thing was that the Fierce Wind Martial Hall and Weiyuan Martial Hall were at odds, targeting each other for many years; even when serving as retainers for wealthy families, disciples of the two martial arts halls would not serve the same family.

An A-minus disciple appearing at the Fierce Wind Martial Hall was definitely not a good thing for Weiyuan Martial Hall.

However, from another perspective, this matter could still be considered a good thing for the disciples of Weiyuan Martial Hall.

Because from this day on, everyone discovered that Lin Cheng spent more time teaching his disciples, and sometimes even personally stepped onto the field to feed moves to the disciples—of course, mainly to disciples like Lu Ren, Gu Fang, and Jiang Ping.

Disciples like Xu Yang who didn't have much potential were mostly just auditing.

Xu Yang didn't care; he had cultivated the Diamond Body Technique, and his true qi was gradually converting into Diamond True Qi. He really didn't dare to spar with Lin Cheng, worrying that the clues would be discovered.

Time passed in peace, and in the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed.

Xu Yang went to the Liu residence to wait for orders in the morning and came to Weiyuan Martial Hall to cultivate in the afternoon, practicing the Turtle-Snake Stance, Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist, and Diamond Body Technique in turns, without neglecting any of them.

This day, Xu Yang was meditating when he suddenly felt a heat in his abdomen, his dantian vibrated, and immediately after, his true qi boiled like water, surging out from his dantian and roaring through his meridians.

"Qi Gathering Minor Success!" Xu Yang couldn't help but be happy.

This level of cultivation could already be considered a small expert in Qingyuan County.

Unknowingly, he had been practicing martial arts for nearly half a year, and it had been nearly four months since he broke through to Qi Gathering.

Four months to reach Qi Gathering Minor Success was nothing compared to people like Lu Ren who had factions supporting them from behind, but among the crowd of bitter strugglers, this speed was absolutely astonishing.

Many people gathered Qi for two or three years and might not even reach Minor Success.

"I don't have ordinary true qi, but Diamond True Qi, which is more overbearing than ordinary true qi. Ordinary Qi Gathering Minor Success is definitely not my opponent."

【Comprehension: 45】

【Innate Talent: 48】

【Cultivation Base: Qi Gathering Minor Success】

【Cultivation Method: Turtle-Snake Stance · Minor Success (60/300), Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan · Minor Success (170/500), Diamond Body Technique · Entered (45/1000)】

【Skill: Mining lv. 3 (283/400)】

【Remaining Lifespan: 61】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 9】

Xu Yang looked; with Qi Gathering Minor Success, his lifespan increased by one year.

The data in all aspects was also steadily rising, with Comprehension and Innate Talent both approaching fifty.

What gave him a headache was the Diamond Body Technique; his Comprehension and Innate Talent were always improving, but the progress speed of the Diamond Body Technique had almost no change. It was indeed a matter of grinding, and the progress had little to do with Comprehension and Innate Talent.

Xu Yang walked out of the room and punched into the void.

A white true qi shot out and dissipated three feet away.

"Qi Gathering Minor Success, true qi leaving the body to kill the enemy. For an ordinary person who has just reached Qi Gathering Minor Success, true qi can leave the body for at most two feet, but mine is three feet.

Everything is because of the Diamond True Qi, which is more condensed and overbearing; this counts as a small trump card."

"Let's test how the lethality is!"

He walked quickly to the vicinity of a large tree, stood still at three feet, and punched out.

The true qi shot out, and with a bang, the tree trunk exploded, appearing a pit the size of a fist.

"If this hit an ordinary person, they would definitely be blown up directly. Diamond True Qi is indeed overbearing."

Of course, the benefits of Diamond True Qi didn't stop there. Now, the hardness of his body was also terrifying; his muscles were like cast fine iron, looking fierce and powerful, and the strength was definitely not much weaker than the Jade Butterfly's body.

According to his speculation, the Jade Butterfly should have only cultivated the Diamond Body Technique for a short time. If they had cultivated it for two or three years, the several Qi Gathering Major Success experts from the Gu family might have been counter-killed by them.

"Xiao Qing, I'm leaving!"

After greeting Xu Qing, Xu Yang braved the cold wind and rushed to the Liu residence.

Unknowingly, it was already the dead of winter, and in another month, it would be the New Year.

The world was white, and the accumulated snow had already covered his insteps.

He rushed to the Liu residence and found Zhang Bo immediately, then demonstrated his Qi Gathering Minor Success cultivation base.

"I didn't expect you to have some talent, reaching Qi Gathering Minor Success so quickly. It's a pity that there are only nine months left for the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent; it is almost impossible to reach Qi Gathering Major Success within nine months."

Zhang Bo couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Yang started practicing martial arts somewhat late, starting cultivation at nearly eighteen, and now he was already over eighteen.

And the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent was every two years; if Xu Yang missed this time, he wouldn't have another opportunity to participate in the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent, because the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent had an age limit, and one could not participate after the age of twenty.

If Xu Yang had started practicing martial arts at sixteen, he could definitely have participated in the Martial Examination's Dragon Ascent and won the title of Martial Scholar.

Martial Scholar was not a useless title; it represented an opportunity to step out of Qingyuan and advance further in the martial path.

"It's fine, Brother Zhang, just help me report it." Xu Yang laughed. ===== CHAPTER 79 =====
