Chapter 46: Don’t Want It Even If It’s Free

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

By the looks of his age, this new young man should be a newbie who didn’t know his limits.

To think that he’d dare to come to the cultivation chamber exclusive to them, the Lone Cloud’s Four Heroes. It wouldn’t take long before he found out about the prowess of the fire qi here.

Thinking of this, the young man closed his eyes and continued with his cultivation.

Two days passed by. He had reached the limits of his cultivation.

In addition to the 18 days he had spent cultivating here, he had stayed here for a total of 20 days.

“20 days. I’ve already exceeded Xingliu’s record.” The young man smiled, feeling satisfied.

Xingliu was ranked third amongst the Lone Cloud’s Four Heroes, while he was ranked fourth.

“Hehe, if Xingliu was to find out about this, he’d probably be so angry that he’d lose his appetite,” the young man thought as he opened his eyes.

However, his pupils contracted immediately.

Xia Qingchen, who was opposite him, hadn’t left.

“Hmmm? Not bad! I thought that you’d be running off after one day. I hadn’t expected that you’ll be able to persist even after two days have passed!” The young man stood up in surprise.

He walked up and carefully assessed Xia Qingchen’s cultivation.

Although he didn’t have the discerning abilities of the martial legend, he could still sense the profoundness behind Xia Qingchen’s cultivation art.

“His cultivation art isn’t bad!” The young man stroked his chin as he assessed Xia Qingcheng.

When one was practicing their cultivation art, the thing they feared the most was external disturbances from others.

With him speaking up twice, Xia Qingchen was finally woken up. Xia Qingchen asked calmly, “Can you be quiet?”

There was a mutual understanding between martial practitioners to not disturb each other when they were training in their cultivation art.

“Hehe, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was just feeling excited.” The young man quickly waved his hand, not showing the ruthlessness he had shown two days ago.

It was because Xia Qingchen’s endurance was beyond his expectations, and it managed to gain his recognition somehow.

“But bear with it a little longer. I just finished my training and need to perform my martial skills to check my results,” said the young man as he started performing his martial skills.

What he performed was a fist attacking-type martial skill.

It was a rare mid-grade yellow-tier martial skill.

Only a few people in the entire Lone Cloud City had the right to cultivate mid-grade martial skills.

This was sufficient to prove that this young man’s identity wasn’t simple.

However, as the fist techniques were launched out, the air currents would seethe like there were rumbling thunder.

Xia Qingchen was unable to cultivate in peace and could only wait until the young man was done with his training.

After going through one round of his martial skill, the young man scratched his head, feeling perplexed. “That’s strange. My inner force has become stronger, but why am I still unable to reach my ideal state?”

Therefore, he continued with his training.

However, things still didn’t turn out as he wanted it to.

One time, two times, three times…

Four hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

His head was covered in sweat, but he still refused to give up. He gritted his teeth, wanting to cultivate until his martial skill reached the great circle of perfection.

Xia Qingchen’s patience gradually wore thin and he said, “Stop!”

The young man stopped, feeling sorry. “Brother, bear with it a little longer. I have this bad habit that would make me feel uncomfortable all over if I can’t attain the goal I had set!”

“Give me one more hour!”

He was going to start once again, but Xia Qingchen stood up, saying, “That’s enough. With your full-of-flaws stances, you won’t show any progress even if I were to give you another ten days!”

“Hey!” The young man turned, feeling both angry and amused. He pointed at his own nose. “Brother, do you know who you’re talking to? I’m Shen Jinghong, one of the Lone Cloud’s Four Heroes!” The Four Heroes were the four strongest young men in the martial pavilion.

Every single one of them had deep and unfathomable cultivation.

Shen Jinghong was one of them.

His [Seven Stars Cloud Breaking Palm] was recognized as one of the strongest fist techniques in Lone Cloud City.

His grandfather had personally guided him in his cultivation.

However, he was being criticized by someone younger than him that his training was full of flaws?

Xia Qingchen couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He walked to the center of the training chamber, assumed his stance, and said, “Take a good look!”

After saying that, he performed the complete set of the [Seven Stars Cloud Breaking Palm] in front of Shen Jinghong.

Not only was the [Seven Stars Cloud Breaking Palm] he demonstrated of the highest quality and had smooth movements, but he also exuded the natural charm of a grandmaster.

Shen Jinghong’s eyes opened wide and he stood there, stunned.

It was only after Xia Qingchen had finished the demonstration that Shen Jinghong pointed at Xia Qingchen in astonishment. “You… you secretly learned the inheritance attacking-type martial skill that has been passed down in our Shen Clan?” This attacking-type martial skill was something that only their Shen Clan had!

“I don’t want such an inferior martial skill even if you were to give it to me for free.” Xia Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, saying, “I only learned it after seeing you practicing it for a few times.”

There was no way that Shen Jinghong could believe this.

If it was possible to learn a martial skill by looking at it a few times, then how could it be possible for there to be inheritance martial skills in this world?

Everyone in the world would be able to learn it from just one demonstration.

Moreover, Xia Qingchen’s demonstration clearly seemed to have a high level of mastery. It didn’t seem to have come from a person who had just learned it.

“I don’t believe it!” Shen Jinghong shook his head and said.

Xia Qingchen said indifferently, “There are ten major flaws in the way you trained. Firstly, the flow of your inner force isn’t smooth. This should be because you’ve overindulged in lust, and your body is weak as a result of that! Secondly, the coordination between your fists and elbows aren’t smooth. This should be due to your habits! Thirdly…”

Xia Qingcheng listed them out in succession, and Shen Jinghong’s expression turned from that of disbelief to surprise, to astonishment, and then to the eventual shock.

He had been given guidance by martial legend Zhen Nantian before, but to speak the truth, Zhen Nantian’s guidance was a far cry from this young man’s.

“You… who are you?” Shen Jinghong felt that the person he was facing wasn’t someone of his age, but a martial ancestor.

“Someone who wishes for you to leave quickly! Someone who wishes for you to give him some peace!” Xia Qingchen waved his hand impatiently. “If you understand, then go back and adjust your condition!”

Shen Jinghong’s gaze when looking toward Xia Qingchen changed completely.

He looked at him as if he was looking at a God.

“Teacher, you’re really a godly existence!” Shen Jinghong had heartfelt admiration and didn’t even mind being shameful to address Xia Qingchen as his teacher. “Teacher, I will be holding a martial exchange meet next month. I hope that you’ll be able to grace us with your presence, giving guidance to me and my friends.”

“Not interested!”

He was in no mood to give guidance to someone completely unrelated to him.

Shen Jinghong pleaded with him repeatedly, pestering him non-stop.

Xia Qingchen wanted to cultivate and couldn’t stand Shen Jinghong’s pestering, and thus said, “Alright, we’ll see after I come out from my training! But the duration of my cultivation isn’t fixed, and I might not be able to come out in a month.”

“It’s alright. I can change the time of the exchange meeting!” Having seen how extraordinary Xia Qingchen was, Shen Jinghong’s heart was felt with great yearning.

Xia Qingchen’s head started to ache.

The type of person he wasn’t scared of the most was the evil one, since he could suppress them with his martial prowess.

What he feared of the most were nice people like Shen Jinghong. He couldn’t use his martial prowess against them, and it was hard to break free from them.

If this person showed his ruthless side to the very end, he could make a move and chase him away.

However, although this person was eccentric and unreasonable, he wasn’t considered evil. He was only someone who had a great yearning for improvement in martial arts.

Therefore, Xia Qingchen couldn’t find an excuse to chase him away.

“That’s enough, that’s enough! Leave quickly!” Xia Qingchen waved his hand, sending him off!

It was only with this that Shen Jinghong left with great joy.

Xia Qingchen finally got some peace and started cultivating.

Ten days passed by very quickly.

This excellent environment had three times the essence qi of the outside world, and he had cleared his 70th minor meridian in advance.

However, he wasn’t planning on stopping.

The opportunity was hard to come by, and he wanted to train all the way until he reached his limits.
