Chapter 108: Betting Everything Twice._4
"How intense?"
"With broken legs, split body, crippled hands and only a head remaining, still using the mouth to bite the enemy to death."
"Is that true?"
"Couldn't be truer."
"Understood." Zhao Dezhu stood up, his face serious as he bowed to Chen Qiu, "Thank you, brother, for passing on the technique. I won't stay here longer. Feel free to visit the Caotian Sect whenever you are free."
"As long as I am in the Capital, no one dares to touch you."
...
...
Fat Long looked at the flying boat, which had turned into a beam of light and started heading back oddly, "This Sect Master of the Caotian Sect, why does he seem so odd? It feels a bit...inappropriate."
Though the idiom wasn't quite apt, he really felt like using it at that moment.
Being a Golden Core and the master of a sect.
That status could allow one to strut around Da Xia Country, but he didn't seem conceited at all, which was peculiar. There's an old saying, "Position brings vanity."
Just by sitting in that position, even if you are normally a gentle person, you would involuntarily become pretentious.
"Not sure."
Chen Qiu shook his head. After throwing a few pieces of silver on the table, he got up to leave the shop and headed towards the street, planning to return to the inn and let Fat Long gather some intelligence. He also wanted to check if there was an auction nearby selling entry jade slips.
He had not finished his advice to the Sect Master of Caotian Sect.
Maintaining intense battle intent indeed could make it possible to breakthrough to the fourth level, but just having intense battle intent wouldn't suffice for the fifth level.
But now wasn't the time to discuss this; after passing the levels, there would be a Nascent Soul body, which was what he needed. This matter would need to be slowly strategized later, at least for now, it wasn't suitable to tell the Sect Master of Caotian Sect.
Moreover...
Even having intense battle intent, it would still be hard to reach the fourth level, let alone the fifth level. Intense battle intent is merely a technique, and not a guaranteed way to pass; Body Cultivation inheritance definitely includes extremely harsh challenges.
Exactly what challenges he didn't know; he only knew some little tricks that some old fortune tellers had told him.
...
"Sect Master?"
Zhao Yishi, sitting on the Flying Boat, looked puzzled at the Sect Master resting on his shoulder, "Didn't you say we were going to challenge the Body Cultivation inheritance?"
"Not going yet."
The Sect Master of Caotian Sect remained silent with a stern face. Chen Qiu had no reason to lie to him; hence, to attain the Body Cultivation inheritance one definitely needs intense battle intent.
It actually makes sense.
As a practitioner of Body Cultivation, one should indeed embody the belief that bare fists can break any spell.
Ironically
His Direct Disciple hardly had any battle intent. The 'Invisibility Technique,' a spell that becomes harder to cultivate with a larger body type, Zhao Yishi managed to cultivate it to the Great Perfection Realm.
That was hard-won.
He needed to think of a way to take Zhao Yishi back to the sect, call everyone in the sect to perform a play to stimulate the latent battle intent in Zhao Yishi's heart.
For instance...
The sect being slaughtered!
All his former brothers meeting their death at the hands of an enemy!
His senior sister violated and killed by the enemy!
The Sect Master he dearly loved, also miserably killed by the enemy because he wasn't strong enough! Continue reading stories on empire
Even the Supreme Elder cut down by the enemy in one stroke!
Only by making Zhao Yishi feel the crisis of insufficient strength and intense hatred, could the battle intent be stimulated, thereby seizing the Body Cultivation inheritance opportunistically!
However...
The Sect Master sitting on Zhao Yishi's shoulder turned his head slightly towards Zhao Yishi with some inner trepidation. He faintly worried whether this might backfire and make the inherently timid and battle-shy Zhao Yishi even more fearful upon witnessing such a scene.
That would truly be a disaster.
By the way, why have so many new phrases been popping up in the Capital recently? And they all seem pretty catchy.
