Chapter 264 - Absolute Talent"Mmm, Master?" Xiang Yun was stunned. He turned his head around, and suddenly came to a realization!
He saw an eight or nine-year-old child squatting at the corner of the wall outside his own courtyard. The child"s skin was slightly black and his face was dirty, but his eyes were bright and clear like two inlaid gems!It was early spring and still cold, but the child was only wearing one. He had a thin jacket over his chest, and his thin arms were exposed to the cold air. His palms were constantly rubbing against each other to keep warm.
"Qiao Feng!"
Xiang Yun instantly recognized this child in front of him. Wasn"t this child the person he had taken in as his personal disciple!?
"Master, I"ve been waiting for you. You"re finally back!"
When Qiao Feng saw Xiang Yun, he was instantly overjoyed as he ran towards him.
He had originally wanted to reach out and tug on Xiang Yun"s sleeve, but then he was worried that he would dirty Xiang Yun"s robes. The little fellow could only reveal a nervous smile as it stood in place and looked at Xiang Yun.
Seeing the strong looking little fellow standing in front of him looking at him, Xiang Yun felt somewhat ashamed. He had almost completely forgotten about this disciple of his in this trip to the Silvermoon Mountain Range.
He squatted down and pulled Qiao Feng before him, patting the little fellow on the head. Xiang Yun smiled and asked, "Have you been waiting for me this whole time?"
"En!" Qiao Feng nodded his head!"Every day, I come to the mansion to wait for Master. However, a few days ago, Fourth Uncle Zhao, who was watching the horses, said that you were probably eaten by the Cloud Beasts in the Silvermoon Mountain Range."
Qiao Feng couldn"t help but choke as he spoke. Thinking about it, when he heard this news, this little fellow had cried a lot!
"Then why are you waiting for me?" Xiang Yun joked.
"But I don"t believe it! I feel that my master is much stronger than those Cloud Beasts. He will definitely beat those Cloud Beasts and make them run away. He definitely won"t be eaten!" At this point, the little guy felt that his image was not enough, so he brandished his fist and put on a very mighty appearance.
Then, he continued in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "But I come and wait for master every day. Master is always away, and has been waiting for more than half a month. Fortunately, master is finally here today!"
"Of course Master will come back!"
Xiang Yun was also affected by this little fellow"s emotions. At the same time, he began to blame himself more and more.
His master was indeed incompetent. When he accepted a disciple, he casually found a manual for her and started to play missing, making his disciple wait for nothing.
Immediately, Xiang Yun patted Qiao Feng"s shoulder and asked, "Last time, Master instructed you to look for me whenever I let you feel Yun Li. Did you sense Yun Li now?"
"Yes, I feel it!" Qiao Feng nodded his head vigorously. "When I went home to cultivate the night master taught me the Earth Dragon Tactics, I felt it."
"Oh so fast!" Xiang Yun couldn"t help but exclaim in surprise.
One had to know that the speed at which one perceived Yun Li"s Yun Li was also a manifestation of a martial artist"s talent. For an ordinary martial artist to sense Yun Li for the first time, they would need at least several days, even 10 days, or even many years!Qiao Feng was actually able to feel the power of the clouds that night, which meant that his talent was not weak. It was a pity that he was not at home that day. Otherwise, he could have immediately taught Qiao Feng the Circulatory Cycle Revolution on the second day.
Immediately, Xiang Yun brought Qiao Feng back to the courtyard and closed the door. Xiang Yun made Qiao Feng sit down cross-legged, wanting to teach him how to circulate his skills. However, Qiao Feng was sitting there cross-legged.
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, clearly discovered that the little fellow"s expression had changed as it bent its body and crossed its legs. The energy within its body was in disarray!
"Are you hurt?" Xiang Yun asked, puzzled.
Hearing this, Qiao Feng lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiang Yun."What happened? Tell Master, who injured you? Your mother?" Xiang Yun"s tone had clearly become a little stiff.
Back then, Qiao Feng"s stepmother had adulterated with an outsider and murdered this father and son. Xiang Yun had wanted to send this woman straight to jail so that she would never see the light of day ever again.
However, thinking that after all, Qiao Feng and his son still needed someone to take care of them, he left them behind and deterred her. At the same time, he also let Second Master Mao take care of Qiao Feng.
Faced with Xiang Yun"s questioning, Qiao Feng did not dare to conceal anything. He hurriedly said.
"No, no, Mother didn"t hit me. It was one of the subordinates of Mao"er. When they heard that you had gone missing, they ran over to our doorstep and scolded us.""They said my father was crippled and that my mother was a s.l.u.t and that I was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I couldn"t hold it in anymore and fought with those people and got injured."
As he finished speaking, Qiao Feng"s voice was so low that it could not be heard. He lowered his head and had a face full of guilt, as if he was a child who had caused trouble for his parents."Phew!"
Xiang Yun"s breathing grew a little heavier as his expression turned slightly cold, killing intent emitting from his eyes. "It"s nothing, master will help you find them to "discuss" your argument!"
"No, no, no, master!" Qiao Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Are you afraid they will take revenge?" Xiang Yun was a little suspicious. Qiao Feng"s personality was not so timid.
Qiao Feng could only scratch his head in embarra.s.sment. "That teacher, his injuries are much heavier than mine!""What? They were hurt? You, you did it?" Xiang Yun looked at Qiao Feng in surprise.
"Mhmm, none of them hit me. They were all knocked down by me."
Qiao Feng seemed to recall his appearance in the gentle breeze from back then and his face revealed a trace of pride. However, as if he was afraid that Xiang Yun would get angry, he immediately lowered his head again.
Only then did Xiang Yun lower his head, staring straight at Qiao Feng. The power of his spiritual will penetrated Qiao Feng"s body, slightly probing him!
"Hiss!"
Xiang Yun was shocked, his face filled with disbelief. He could clearly feel that within Qiao Feng"s body, there was an undispersed stream of energy. Although it was extremely weak, it was still detected by Xiang Yun. It was clearly the sign of Yun Li gathering!"Could it be that this boy has already become a Cloud Warrior?"
"Qiao Feng, try throwing a punch at me with all your might!" Xiang Yun instructed Qiao Feng."Ah …" Qiao Feng was stunned and hesitated a bit as he said, "Teacher, my fist strength is really great. Those bad guys were all knocked down by my fist."
Xiang Yun gave a faint smile and said, "It"s fine, your master is very strong, so just relax and punch!"
"Alright!" Qiao Feng nodded and hurriedly got up. He first walked to a spot that was 10 feet away from Xiang Yun, and then crossed his arms in front of his chest, making a nondescript fist stand.
"Master, are you ready?""Punch!"
Qiao Feng heard this and didn"t waste any time. He shouted and fiercely took a step forward. His feet were like iron plates stepping on the ground, emitting a light bang sound!
Qiao Feng"s short body leapt high up into the air as a fist shot out from his waist. His body was instantly stretched into a straight line with a crackling sound. Qiao Feng"s fist smashed towards Xiang Yun"s outstretched hand!
"Bam!"
As the fist and palm met, there was a faint m.u.f.fled sound, not even a slight movement of his palm. When Qiao Feng"s fist landed on Xiang Yun"s palm, he felt as if his fist had smashed into a mountain.
Xiang Yun"s feet moved, his figure turned into a series of afterimages as he instantly appeared behind Qiao Feng. Reaching out his hand, he pressed it against the little fellow"s back. With a slight shake of his hand, he cleverly deflected all the force, gently placing his body on the ground!"Wow, Master, you"re so awesome!"
Qiao Feng landed on the ground and immediately shouted out excitedly, his face full of worship as he looked at Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun gently smiled, his expression calm, but his heart was filled with shock. This was because this little fellow was actually a martial pract.i.tioner of the Cloud Palace.
No wonder he was able to defeat a group of hoodlums with his eight or nine year old body. It would not be difficult for a martial artist from the Cloud Sky Sect to fight a few normal strong men.
If it wasn"t for the fact that Qiao Feng"s body hadn"t fully developed and that his bones, meridians, and muscles hadn"t reached their peak, he wouldn"t have injured them at all.
Immediately, Xiang Yun seriously asked, "Qiao Feng, Master is asking you, in these past few days, have there been any other people who have taught you martial arts?"
"Nope, I actually want to find master everyday to teach me how to cultivate." Qiao Feng blinked his large eyes as he looked at Xiang Yun.
"Then how did you cultivate it?"
"I was just following the instructions on the cultivation method and looking at the meridians on the pictures, I was imagining the meridians in my own body. I was just randomly cultivating anyway, I don"t know if that"s right or not." Qiao Feng said somewhat embarra.s.sedly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, genius of the f * cking origin!"
Although Qiao Feng was only a martial artist of the Eryun realm, this was enough to shock Xiang Yun.
One had to know that he"d only left for less than a month and Qiao Feng had no one to teach him and was actually able to learn the Circulatory Cycle Revolution. Moreover, he"d even broken through two stages.
Fortunately, Xiang Yun had already antic.i.p.ated this. In his previous life, in Jin Yong"s cla.s.sic <><>< eight="" heavenly="" dragons=""> >, Qiao Feng had been accepted as a secret disciple by Shaolin Temple Master, taught all sorts of Shaolin consummate skills, as well as the martial arts of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
This kind of profound martial arts, logically speaking, would not be able to create a climate without decades of hard work.
However, Qiao Feng relied on his extraordinary talent and perseverance to obtain the t.i.tle of "South Murong, North Qiao Feng" in the world in the first place, becoming one of the top experts in the world.
Afterwards, in the Sage Gathering Manor, he gathered all the heroes of the realm and used a set of Taizu long fist techniques to turn the tides and turn the tides into miracles, defeating several experts of the current world.
At the Shaolin Temple Hero a.s.sembly, Qiao Feng fought alone against three of the world"s top experts, Ding Chun Qiu, Mu Rong"s family, and Zhuang Juxian. He fought against three of them, not losing!
All sorts of incidents had shown that Qiao Feng was definitely a martial arts genius. There was no doubt that this was the reason why Qiao Feng had such a talent for martial arts in this world. Xiang Yun was not too surprised!
This time, he had picked up a treasure. A disciple who could teach himself without teaching others was truly rare. Xiang Yun could only helplessly smile wryly in his heart, but at the same time, he was also rather happy.
In the future, he would establish the number one sect in the world.
Naturally, he had to be an outstanding disciple as well. It would seem that the first disciple, Qiao Feng, would surely be able to stand on his own in the future!"Disciple, now that you have condensed the Cloud Power Qi Vortex, you can be considered as a Cloud Realm warrior!" Xiang Yun informed him of Qiao Feng"s cultivation.
"What!" Qiao Feng was stunned at first when he heard this, then he jumped up in excitement!
"Wah! I"m already a Cloud Warrior! I"m a Cloud Warrior! Hahaha, I can protect my dad and Master!" The child"s innocent laughter filled the courtyard.
The young man who grew up in an alleyway didn"t know the rank of a Yun martial artist. All he knew was that once he became a Yun martial artist, he would not be bullied by others and would be able to control his own fate. He would protect the people he wanted to protect and make his family proud!
Xiang Yun"s heart was rather moved as he thought back to his grandfather who was far away in another world, his only family.If the two worlds were in parallel universes, how was the little old man on Earth who liked to smoke, tell stories, and brag normally?
"Human Realm Upon Heavens!" Xiang Yun suddenly thought of the divine land that Old Liang had mentioned. They were in another world above this land, yet they were able to communicate with the Seven Stars Continent.
If the Human Realm Upon Heavens was a hinge, would he be able to return to Earth? For a moment, Xiang Yun"s eyes glowed with a brilliant light before he buried it deep within his heart!
