C7 (1/2)
At dawn, the cocks chirped and the morning dew began to congeal.
The next day, Qin Shi woke up very early. Ever since his spirit vein had recovered, he had been full of motivation. He made full use of his time to cultivate and began to prepare for the Qin family's inheritance half a month later.
Currently, there were only less than ten days left before the Qin family's inheritance. This made him feel extremely anxious.
”Qin Liuyu, sixth level of the Spirit Tempering Stage, huh …”
Qin Shi sat cross-legged as determination flashed through his eyes. ”No matter what, no matter what, I must obtain the inheritance of the Qin family. I must bring my parents back to the Qin family!”
Thinking of this, he seriously circulated his Spiritual Energy a few times within his body as he thought to himself, ”The current me has already reached the peak of the third level of the Spirit Tempering Stage.” However, he had never practiced any martial arts. For me, I will definitely suffer a great loss when the Qin family inherits. ”
Martial arts, as its name implied, was a technique that visualized the spirit energy.
”If it was in the past, I could go to the Qin family's library and look for a few suitable martial arts. But now, on this gravel street, where can I look for martial arts?”
Qin Shi thought for a while before hopping off the bed helplessly. He then got up and walked out of the room.
Just as he walked into the courtyard, he saw his father practicing a mysterious boxing style beneath an ancient mulberry tree.
Looking at his father's fist technique, Qin Shi couldn't help but lose his composure, ”At first glance, this fist technique doesn't seem outstanding or have any gorgeous patterns, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that the fist art is like a dragon or a tiger. Every move is overbearing and hard to guard against.”
”What's even more serious? Father clearly doesn't have spiritual power, but he's actually able to unleash such powerful strength with just his fist strike?” After realizing this, Qin Shi became even more curious.
”Shi'er, you're up?”
Upon seeing Qin Shi, Qin Tianqing stopped his fist arts.
Qin Shi snapped out of his daze and replied with a nod. He ran forward and said, ”Father, what fist technique did you just perform? It's actually this profound? ”
”Of course. This is one of the three great martial arts of the Zhenqi clan, the Sky Cracking Fist Art.” Qin Tianqing grew proud: ”Even in the Qin Clan, only those with outstanding talent and who have reached the sixth level of the Spirit Tempering Stage can train.”
”So this is the Qin Clan's Seism Martial Arts, the 'Sky Splitting Fist'? No wonder he's so powerful. ” Qin Shi drew in a breath of cold air. He had heard of the Qin Clan's three great martial arts: one sword art, one movement technique, and one fist art.
The sword art was called the Nine Sword of the River Styx, the movement technique was called the Sky Cracking Fist Art. I heard that back then, the Qin family took root in Wasteland Town and became famous for their three sets of martial arts.
”The heavens are truly helping me.”
Qin Shi, who was still worrying about where he could find a martial art, immediately became excited. ”Father, look, ever since I've recovered my Spiritual Pulse, I haven't cultivated martial arts for a long time. Can you …”
”Brat, take it.”
Qin Tianqing could already guess what Qin Shi was going to say without even thinking about it. In fact, he had long since realized that Qin Shi didn't have any martial arts techniques, which was why he purposely performed the Sky Splitting Fist early in the morning.
After obtaining the fist technique, Qin Shi was overjoyed. After laughing foolishly at his father, he forgot to thank him and ran out of the manor.
”This stinking brat.”
Upon seeing this, Qin Tianqing shook his head with a bitter smile. His expression immediately became much more serious as he thought, ”Sky Splitting Fist Technique, Inferior Grade Martial Arts. Based on his current strength, it would be impossible for him to learn them without any guidance. But it's also good this way, let's poke at his spirit first. ”
After Qin Shi ran out of the house, about an hour later, he arrived at a forest not far from the outskirts of Wasteland Town.
He couldn't wait to start practicing the Sky Splitting Fist. Hence, he found a secluded corner and started to study the fist technique, ”Breaking the Heavens with Power, shattering the Universe with one strike, and punching like thunder, like the strong gale …”
After studying for a while, Qin Shi started to try.
Following the instructions on the fist technique, Liu Ming gathered all the Spiritual Energy in his body into his palms and clenched them into fists as he punched in the air in front of him.
However, there was no reaction at all when the punch was thrown out.
”Ripping apart the heavens with force, shattering the universe with a single point, punching out like thunder, like a strong gale …” As he waved his fist, Qin Shi was still humming the boxing style of the Heaven's Fist Art. However, the result was still unsatisfactory and did not have the slightest effect.
”I can't believe I saw a ghost. When father danced this morning, he clearly didn't have any spirit energy, and his killing power was even a bit stronger than mine. Where did he make such a mistake?” After continuously waving it a few times, Qin Shi discovered that his spirit power was unable to fuse with this boxing style at all. There seemed to be an opportunity missing between the two.
But this opportunity, what exactly was it?
As Qin Shi pondered, he was extremely puzzled. However, this did not affect his fighting spirit. Not only did he not give up, but he also trained even harder.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
However, Qin Shi still did not succeed. No matter how much he swung his fist, there was no reaction. This made him go crazy as he thought to himself, ”How strange, I was obviously practicing according to the instructions written in the fist technique, but why is there no reaction?”
”It seems like I can only continue tomorrow!”
