Chapter 145 - Celestial Dragon zhen qiXiang Yun"s eyes were burning as he looked at the youth Qiao Feng. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he slowly sat back on his stool and spoke.
"Qiao Feng, let me ask you, if I didn"t rush here today, what would have happened to your family?"
Qiao Feng"s face changed when he heard this and he unconsciously clenched his fist. His eyes were inexplicably gloomy."If it wasn"t for the crown prince"s help, I would have been cut off by that Third Mad Warrior. My father and I would have died here in the near future!"
Xiang Yun nodded, "That"s right, this is your original ending, and I can"t help you all this time. Have you ever thought about how if one day I can"t protect you all …"
Would these people let you go? ""This …" The youth was momentarily at a loss for words.
Xiang Yun helped answer for him, "They will humiliate you multiple times and torture you. You"ll die just like your father!"
The youth"s expression was ugly as he clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with unwillingness."Do you know why they humiliated you and your father?" Xiang Yun continued asking.
The youth only raised his head to look at Xiang Yun, his teeth clenching together!"Of course, it"s not that you guys are unlucky, nor is it that they are too vicious, but that you guys are too weak!"
Xiang Yun emphasized the last two words!
"Whether it"s our Wind Cloud Nation or the entire Phecda Continent, the rules of this world are merely the law of the strong being respected, the weak being ants, and the strong crushing the weak. These are the laws of heaven and earth."
"You are weak, so you are humiliated. If you are lucky, then I can protect you today. However, if you continue to be weak, you will never make it out. You will only be an ant beneath the feet of experts for the rest of your lives!"
As Xiang Yun spoke to here, Qiao Feng"s face was already flushed red, his breathing became ragged, and his two small fists clenched even tighter. His tender hands seemed as if they were about to grasp his fate.
"Are you willing to be a servant for the rest of your life?" Xiang Yun suddenly lowered his head, his eyes burning as he stared at the youth!
"I … I don"t want to be a servant. I also want to become a powerhouse!"
The young man"s tender voice was sonorous and forceful at this moment, and it was filled with determination. His pair of dark and gloomy eyes were currently burning!Seeing this, Xiang Yun revealed an expression of admiration. The youth in front of him, whether it was personality or personality, was very much to his taste!
"Good!" If you really want to become strong, then I will help you this one time! ""Qiao Feng, are you willing to become my, Xiang Yun"s, first personal disciple?! "Although I am not a martial artist yet, I can a.s.sure you that if you become my disciple, you will never regret it!"
Within the shabby little house, the young man"s burning gaze met Xiang Yun"s torch-like eyes. They shined like stars, their light shining on each other!The latter stared unblinkingly at Xiang Yun, his mouth gaping a few times, but he was unable to say anything. In the end, his two hands forcefully clasped together, and he actually kneeled down in front of Xiang Yun with a "plop" sound!
"Master, please accept a bow from your disciple!"
"Buzz!"
The moment Qiao Feng knelt down, a system notification rang out in Xiang Yun"s mind!"Quest reward for completing the main mission: Heavenly Dragon"s true qi!"
In the next moment, Xiang Yun"s mind buzzed as he felt an enormous amount of information instantly being poured into it, entering his mind!
It was a mysterious technique called "Heavenly Dragon"s true qi".
The entire incantation was engraved into Xiang Yun"s mind. The dantian in Xiang Yun"s body, which was connected to the Spiritual Root of the Divine Court, suddenly caused the originally calm cloud energy to surge. It was like a calm sea of clouds that suddenly surged with waves!
"Rumble!"
Within Xiang Yun"s spirit root, it was as if ma.s.sive waves had been lifted. The heaven and earth shook and the sea of clouds churned. In the midst of a boundless blue sea, countless amounts of cloud energy rotated, condensed, and clashed against each other!The disorder and turbulence that seemed to be in disarray were somehow following some kind of law. Every collision, every entanglement, every teleportation, every tiny bit of cloud energy particles were all operating in a law of energy!
This process only lasted for a moment!"Ang!"
Suddenly, a dragon"s roar rang out from within Xiang Yun"s golden spiritual roots!
In the next moment, from within the spirit root, where the clouds" power was surging, a faint blue dragon-shaped shadow formed from clouds suddenly jumped out like a divine dragon soaring in the clouds!
The divine dragon rose from his dantian, spiraling upwards along the golden spiritual roots before rushing out from the top of the Divine Temple. In the next moment, the divine dragon swooped down and swam rapidly through Xiang Yun"s eight extraordinary meridians.
The originally narrow meridians within Xiang Yun"s body had turned into a river channel for the divine dragon to travel. When they encountered a wide area, the divine dragon would roam about like the wind and waves.
When he encountered a narrow area, the latter would push himself forward in one go. The rich cloud energy magically widened his meridians. During this process, not only did his meridians not get torn apart, they had actually become tougher!In the blink of an eye, the Divine Dragon had roamed Xiang Yun"s entire body. His meridians had expanded by more than a fold.
After a full cycle, the divine dragon did not lose any of its momentum. Instead, it became stronger and the cloud energy became more solid!
Finally, the divine dragon charged into the Spirit Root at the Dantian. The latter spiraled around the Dantian, raising its mighty dragon head. The cloud energy within the Spirit Root all surged toward the divine dragon, continuously merging into the divine dragon"s body!
Just like this, the cloud energy that had been filling Xiang Yun"s body instantly condensed into the image of a divine dragon. It radiated an aura several times more powerful than before, hibernating within Xiang Yun"s body!
"Is this the Heavenly Dragon"s true qi?!"Xiang Yun"s consciousness had already returned to his body, his eyes immediately revealing an expression of disbelief!
At this moment, Xiang Yun could sense that even after his cloud energy had taken the shape of a dragon, the quality of his cloud energy had not changed in the slightest. However, its power and aura had abruptly risen by more than a level!
Before, the cloud power within Xiang Yun"s body had been a group of roaming soldiers. Now that it had turned into a dragon, it had turned into a pair of iron and steel horses. They were unrivalled!
Xiang Yun was even able to believe that, at this moment, even if he was only at Wuyun"s level of cultivation, he would still be able to win against a Six Cloud martial artist. Even if he faced a Seven Cloud martial artist head on, he would not be afraid!
At the same time, the youth standing in front of Xiang Yun seemed to have also sensed the sudden rise in Xiang Yun"s aura. The latter subconsciously raised his head and looked at Xiang Yun!Xiang Yun also lowered his head to look at the latter, his face revealing an uncontrollable joy!
"Since you"ve acknowledged me as your teacher, why aren"t you serving me tea?"
"Oh." Qiao Feng hurriedly got up. He first wiped his hands on his clothes, then picked up the teacup on the table and knelt in front of Xiang Yun once more. He served the tea with both hands and brought it in front of Xiang Yun.
"Master, have some tea!"
Seeing the youth"s clumsy movements and his pair of bright, clear eyes, Xiang Yun could not help but laugh out loud!
"Hahaha!" Qiao Feng, you are the first disciple of my Xiang Yun. I will definitely help you become a strong person from now on and not be humiliated anymore! "At this moment, Xiang Yun was feeling extremely joyful in his heart. Other than obtaining the Heavenly Dragon"s true qi, he was even more excited about the fact that he had actually taken Qiao Feng as his last disciple!
It had to be known that in the novels of Jin Yong, Xiang Yun"s favorite character was Wei Xiaobao. However, the person Xiang Yun admired the most was the famous hero, Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng, who had relied on the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to sweep away all martial forests in the world, was even more enchanted by Xiang Yun. Just thinking about how he had actually mistakenly taken Qiao Feng as his disciple, Xiang Yun felt a wave of disbelief!All of this seems to have a heaven"s will. Could it be that he wants me to nurture this young man into a peerless hero like Qiao Feng in the world of Jinyong Wuxia?
Since the mission mentioned four disciples and Qiao Feng was his first disciple, then who could the other three be? Could they also be the main characters of Jin Yong"s martial arts novels? Xiang Yun was momentarily unable to guess.However, thinking about how his four disciples from now on were all top-notch figures in the martial arts world, each of them possessing a peerless martial art and becoming his four great protectors, Xiang Yun couldn"t help but feel somewhat excited!
Of course, what was even more exciting was that after taking in a disciple, there was still a generous reward. He only took one disciple from Qiao Feng and obtained the Heavenly Dragon"s true qi, then what if he took the other four? Would the rewards be even more bountiful?At this moment, Xiang Yun did not stay any longer. Instead, he instructed the Huang Family to take care of the potter while he brought Qiao Feng back to the Crown Prince"s residence!
Since he was now a teacher, Xiang Yun naturally could not treat his own disciple unfairly. After Xiang Yun brought Qiao Feng back to his own residence, he brought Qiao Feng to the crown prince"s study room and chose a cultivation technique for him.
Xiang Yun did not know about Qiao Feng"s cultivation talent, nor did he know how many spiritual roots he had. However, for the latter to be able to become one of the objectives of the Wuxia Jin system, it was no doubt that his cultivation talent was not weak.
Qiao Feng was not tall enough, so Xiang Yun arranged all the cultivation techniques on the bookshelves for the latter to choose for himself. Thankfully, Qiao Feng had still read the private school for two years, so he could still recognize these characters.
The Crown Prince"s Palace didn"t have many cultivation methods, only a dozen or so. However, they were all high quality cultivation techniques with all sorts of attributes.
Qiao Feng took a quick look and realized that he really couldn"t pick any of these manuals in front of him. And Xiang Yun, this half-baked master, was a martial artist not even in the Yellow Cloud Realm. Naturally, he couldn"t give any advice.The pair of teacher and disciple looked at the cultivation technique on the ground, then looked at each other. Their eyes were wide open, unable to make a decision for the moment.
"This …"
Xiang Yun looked at the youth"s pleading gaze and could not help but feel a little diffident in his heart. He had just recently come into contact with martial arts, how could he be a good teacher? For a moment, Xiang Yun scratched his head."Oh, right. Why don"t I ask him to cultivate the Art of Creation as well?" For a time, Xiang Yun could not think of a way, so he wanted Qiao Feng to cultivate his own cultivation technique.
However, just as Xiang Yun had this thought, the system"s voice resounded in his mind.
"Other than the host, no one else is allowed to cultivate the Karmic Creation Art."
"Ah, there"s such a restriction?"
Xiang Yun felt rather surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood. Since the system"s core mission was to cultivate the Art of Creation to perfection within a hundred years, then it must have been designed for him. It was normal for others to not be able to cultivate it.
But since he couldn"t pa.s.s on Qiao Feng"s cultivation and the Manifestation Art, what cultivation technique should he choose for him?
Just as Xiang Yun was puzzled, Qiao Feng suddenly extended his hand to pick up a cultivation technique. He said to Xiang Yun, "Master, how about I practice this cultivation technique?"
"Hmm?" Xiang Yun looked down and saw that Qiao Feng was holding an earth attribute cultivation technique called "Earth Dragon Tactic". It had the word "Dragon" in it, and it complemented the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."Fine, then you can try out this cultivation method and see if you can cultivate it. In the next few days, go back and try sensing Yun Li. If you can sense Yun Li, then come find me. I"ll choose a martial skill to help you cultivate."
"Yes, master!" Qiao Feng forcefully nodded, his eyes were filled with grat.i.tude.
If Xiang Yun had not taken him in as a disciple, then his future ident.i.ty would have meant that he would have to toil all his life for a hearty meal. Not to mention his talent in cultivation, he would not have had a chance to come into contact with any cultivation technique!
The moment he had taken Xiang Yun as his master, the latter had secretly made up his mind. In the future, no matter what, he would repay his master even if it meant his death.
After Qiao Feng had taken his cultivation technique away, Xiang Yun did not return to his room. Instead, he walked towards a small square in the southwest direction of the mansion. Before he even had the chance to approach, he could already hear loud shouts coming from that direction!At this moment, a group of robust figures were on the square, their upper bodies bare as they sweated like rain under the sunlight!
Some of them were practicing their punches while others were swinging their swords. There were also a dozen or so people sitting cross-legged and cultivating under the guidance of a guard captain in the mansion!
This was the training ground of the crown prince"s residence. Normally, these guards would either patrol or cultivate here.With so many martial pract.i.tioners gathered together, they could not only spar with each other, but also discuss their own insights. Thus, such a lively scene gradually formed.
