Chapter 108: Chapter 91 Half-Step Martial God Stand-In, The Real Losers Make Their Entrance (Second Update!)_2
Qin Shi was panting heavily, even in the Palace of Thought, where there was absolutely nothing like a "Physical Strength Bar," he still felt a massive sense of exhaustion.
It was like a feeble scholar who never exercised suddenly ran ten thousand meters, an unprecedented fatigue and lethargy overwhelmed his body, making him want to lie down immediately and rest, even unwilling to move his fingers.
"The universe respects only me, fears only me, obeys only me. Beyond me, there is no respect, any respect is driven by me; beyond me, there is no fear, any fear is driven by me; beyond me, there is no obedience, any obedience is driven by me... I am the center of all things and all thoughts... How can one follow the gods without following oneself, oneself is the god..."
Over and over again, not knowing how much time had passed, Qin Shi repeatedly drained his spirit, like a weight-training fanatic who rests immediately after exhaustion and then continues to exercise after a moment, just to complete the training volume.
Finally, he had memorized the entire text of the Void Meditation Technique in his heart!
Reaching this point was already the limit.
But to go one step further, to chew over its essence, to grasp its spirit, would be as hard as ascending to the heavens!
The method created by He Lanchan with his life’s blood was too profound and inscrutable; every word, every sentence contained immense weight, requiring extremely strong spiritual cultivation to refine.
"Unless I sink my heart into it, research day and night, think deeply and meditate, spending three to five years’ time might just be achievable."
For the first time, Qin Shi experienced the weight of words.
The road to Martial God is truly not easy!
"Fortunately, I am a cheat."
Qin Shi was not discouraged, he memorized the entire text of Void Meditation Technique and then looked at the Dao nature incarnate:
"Count on you!"
The cold and aloof young boy, looking like He Lanchan but actually another Qin Shi, suddenly opened his eyes, and in his pupils reflected one by one golden words morphing like dragons and snakes.
...
...
"Dad, what were you chatting about with Little Qin?"
Chen Yun returned home, couldn’t hold back her curiosity, and asked.
"Just some casual talk between elders and juniors."
Chen Ruofu sat behind the desk, back straight, holding a brush:
"I asked him to share the credit of his achievements with you, ensuring you get into the General Affairs Office and rise to Senior Inspector."
Chen Yun’s face changed abruptly, she spoke urgently:
"Isn’t this stealing credit! Little Qin saved the day and solved the crisis, why should the credit fall on me? Dad, how could I face him again!"
Chen Ruofu remained calm, his brush tip didn’t even tremble:
"Look at what you’re saying, would I, Chen Ruofu, stoop so low as to suppress a student, steal his credit, and cultivate my own daughter? In major matters, you need composure, your temperament needs more training."
Chen Yun crossed her arms, stayed silent, waiting for her father’s explanation.
"Alright."
Chen Ruofu’s brush strokes were swift, and he finished in one go, said in a deep voice:
"Your Little Qin brother has sharp insight. Do you know why Qin Lihao has forbidden items contaminated with the Electronic Demon in the storage container of his warehouse? It’s to cloak the martial arts family qi; the Qin Family in Yan City somehow found He Lanchan’s Void Meditation Technique.
This legacy was originally the ’textbook’ of the Dangyang East Suburb Students School, lost due to a major explosion at the military factory. The Qin Family found it, didn’t learn it themselves, and wanted to gift it to me. What kind of scheme do you think Qin Renying is playing?"
How is this involving Stone Buddha He Lanchan again?
Chen Yun was slightly stunned, thought for a long time before saying:
"Building a good relationship with the Chen Family to help them enter the Urban Circle and break free from the confines of Yan City?"
Chen Ruofu put down his brush, his energy and spirit slightly relaxed:
"This is only a superficial meaning. Since the New Martial Sect came to power, they have been pushing the activity of reclaiming old martial textbooks, as a demonstration of victory. He Lanchan was one of the initial top ten, his name and reputation are immensely high, obtaining the Void Meditation Technique and sealing it signifies the New Martial Sect’s comprehensive victory."
Chen Yun furrowed her brows slightly, was the internal strife within the Martial Arts Association between the new and old martial sects already so intense?
"Where there are people, there are disputes, this is an old saying from the Old Era. Unless you are a Martial God, overlooking the Star Sea, it is hard to remain unaffected."
Chen Ruofu dried the ink, and calmly said:
"I guess, on the one hand, Qin Renying wants to build a good relationship, giving a favor that allows the Qin Family to enter the Urban Circle; on the other hand, he also wants to pass the hot potato to me, to see if I, Chen Ruofu, would take the bait, and if I can keep it, it’s a kind of test."
You old folks think so convolutedly?
Chen Yun felt dizzy from listening, subconsciously asked:
"Does this have anything to do with Little Qin’s credit..."
She suddenly realized halfway through her words, looked sharply at Chen Ruofu:
"Little Qin knows the circuit board contains He Lanchan’s legacy?"
Chen Ruofu nodded:
"He didn’t know whose it was specifically, but he probably sensed it was extraordinary, so he thought about keeping it secretly."
Chen Yun’s eyes were sharp, knife-like, stabbing at her cunning father:
"You threw the hot potato away and conveniently exchanged it for a big credit that promoted me... No wonder Uncle Lin calls you ’Strategist,’ saying he admires your cunning."
Chen Ruofu didn’t deny it, unfolded the writing:
"This is your one flaw, always thinking that benefit exchange and human relationships are too dirty. We are not martial artists solely focused on cultivation, but officials within the Dongxia system, up and down, advances and retreats, all are negotiations.
I didn’t treat Little Qin unfairly, he is from the Old Martial Sect, how precious is a legacy leading to the Martial God? Enough to make millions fight for it!
Moreover, with He Lanchan’s Void Meditation Technique in my hands, the Martial Arts Association can make use of it; if it falls into the hands of a high school student and he miraculously gets initiated, thereby embarking on the Martial God Road, can the New Martial Sect say anything? Don’t they want Dongxia to produce good seedlings?"
