Chapter 71: Su Bai Is Treating! (1/2)
Wei Hao was a martial arts fanatic, but to his misfortune, his ordinary talents in the field made it impossible for him to practice most of martial arts techniques. This was a problem which even the Duke of Wei was helpless before.
As such, Wei Hao held an intent craving for power!
Wang Chong giving him a martial arts manual was completely out of Wei Hao’s expectations. One must know that in this era of martial arts, other than those commonplace martial arts techniques which were publicly known, all martial arts manuals were worth a ton. No power would easily impart their secret arts to an outsider.
Thus, Wei Hao was honestly surprised by this matter.
Flipping through the pages, Wei Hao was initially browsing through it casually, but it didn’t take long for him to be absorbed into it.
Even though he hadn’t tried cultivating it yet, Wei Hao sensed that the technique which Wang Chong had given him was much stronger than the one he was cultivating.
Seeing Wei Hao slowly getting engrossed into it such that his breathing grew faint, Wang Chong nodded his head with a smile.
Wang Chong had always felt guilt toward Wei Hao.
Wei Hao had always regarded him as his best buddy, but due to several misunderstandings, Wang Chong fell out with him, losing this precious friend of his.
Even so, Wei Hao didn’t give up on him. During this hardest times in his previous life, he chose to help Wang Chong despite the disapproval of his clan.
The Wang Chong back then couldn’t be of assistance to Wei Hao at all. He could only watch as Wei Hao was swept away by the catastrophe like the many others.
Thus, upon given a chance to do it all over, Wang Chong wanted to do something for him.
Martial arts has always been Wei Hao’s weakness. His ordinary talents had limited his growth, and this wasn’t something the Duke of Wei could solve despite his power and wealth. Thus, even at his very last breath, Wei Hao had never grew strong.
Wang Chong had always wanted to give him a hand on that, but it was difficult to find a suitable cultivation technique for him. After spending a long time recalling all of the cultivation technique in his head, he finally found one which was the most suitable for Wei Hao.
This was also the reason why Wang Chong took so long to pass this on to Wei Hao.
Time slowly ticked by and Wei Hao’s attention was completely into the manual. Wang Chong didn’t interrupt him and sat quietly in the carriage.
Hu!
After a period of time, Wei Hao exhaled a huge breath and finally lifted his gaze from the book.
“《Mountain Ascension Formula》? Such a weird name. Why haven’t I heard of it in the past? Wang Chong, where did you obtain such a powerful martial arts manual from?”
Wei Hao stared at Wang Chong in shock, as though he had become a complete stranger.
For some reason, from the moment Wei Hao started flipping through the manual, he felt extremely fond of the cultivation technique. It was as though a mysterious energy was tugging on him, prompting him to read on.
Thus, only when he finished reading through the entire manual did he finally turn his gaze away from it and exhale deeply.
Wei Hao didn’t know where Wang Chong got this cultivation technique from, and with a single look, it felt wild, completely different from the other martial arts of the Wang Clan. But for some reason, Wei Hao liked it a lot. While flipping through the manual, he had a feeling that it was tailored for him, and this made him feel extremely excited.
“Why, you don’t like it? Return it to me then!”
With an impassive face, Wang Chong stretched out his hand as he said.
“Scram! Since you’ve given it to me, it’s mine now. You stinky brat, don’t even think about getting it back!”
Wei Hao held the 《Mountain Ascension Formula》 tightly in his embrace, as though saying that Wang Chong would have to get past him before getting back his manual.
“Hahaha!”
Wang Chong retracted his right hand and burst into laughter.
Seeing Wang Chong laugh, Wei Hao couldn’t help but chuckle as well. The two brothers seemed to have gone back to the times when they were extremely close to one another, and the slight estrangement in their relationship that arose from Ma Zhou’s incident vanished completely.
“Stinky brat, this 《Mountain Ascension Formula》 shall be my reward for the effort I have put in for the past few days, so don’t even dream about getting this back! Right, if you have any more of such stuff in the future, make sure to tell me.”
“Dream on!”
Wang Chong reprimanded him with a smile. Wang Chong wasn’t surprised that Wei Hao would become so fond of this cultivation technique. This cultivation technique was created for people with average talents like Wei Hao.
As everyone knew, rather than geniuses, ordinary humans with ordinary talents were the most populous in the world.
Even though they were destined to achieve little, there were always exceptions to the rule. Regardless of what it was, there was always hope.
《Mountain Ascension Formula》 was such a ‘hope’.
This cultivation technique didn’t demand much of one’s talents, but one had to put in ten times or even hundred times the effort to make up for it.
As the saying goes, ‘the dumb bird learns to fly first’. If one’s talent couldn’t match up with the others, one had to put in much more effort than them!
This was the concept behind the 《Mountain Ascension Formula》!
There was no limit to this cultivation technique. From Origin Energy Tier to True Martial Tier, then to Profound Martial Tier, and on to Emperor Martial Tier, one could continue cultivating this cultivation technique upward, but one would have to put in much more hard work than the others. The further one advanced, the more hard work one had to put in, sometimes even up to a thousand times more.
For this cultivation technique, ‘hard work’ was probably the only limit!
Even so, Wang Chong didn’t have too great of an impression of this cultivation technique. In fact, he nearly failed to recall its existence. That was because even though this cultivation technique had ‘mystical’ effects, it wasn’t compatible with Wang Chong.
Everyone had a cultivation technique that was compatible with them. This cultivation technique may be ‘formidable’ for Wei Hao, but to Wang Chong, it couldn’t even compare up to an ordinary cultivation technique.
Furthermore, no one had been able to complete this cultivation technique in his previous life. The reason was simple:
Lack of time!
One needed a huge amount of time to practice this cultivation technique. Furthermore, there were less diligent people than geniuses in the world.
