Chapter 20 (1/2)

The life of a practicing cultivator was repetitive and dull Each day was akin to having to collect enough dewdrops to create a streah lakes to collect it all into a vast ocean

The process was much easier said than done

It was easy to understand that a person would not becoht could only be accu Xing had h Qi over time, but for some reason he had remained within reach of the second tier for the pastthe next tier; what he needed noas just to find the key to the door and open it

There was a sense of helplessness The door was right in front of hiress any further

It was also within these few days that a ht everyone's attention

Apparently there was an outer court disciple with the na He'd been stopped by three third-tiered disciples in front of Danxia Valley when he wanted to visit a feirl also rumored to be an old friend of his The three disciples saw that Hou Qing was not only a new face but also alone; with hi from his belt, the three disciples had wanted to try their luck with such an easy-looking, affluent target

Without sparing a word, Hou Qing defeated all three men with a wave of his sword He left the scene behind with a sor to spare

This feat left all of the outer court disciples astonished

It was all thethat this o With only sixbe in order to be able to defeat three third-tiered disciples with such ease?

Within only a enius' a the outer court disciples Ruh into the fourth tier within a year and become the first inner court disciple from this batch of new recruits

”Hou Qing? Wasn't that the guy who caught me before?”

As Yu gossiped away, Fang Xing suddenly remembered who this uys were like peas and carrots back then You even let him skip the line, didn't you?”

”shi+di Fang, stopme… Someone like me, I would not even dare to make friends with so a bitter smile ”He was nice to me outside of the sect, very polite and all, but when he was accepted into the sect it all changed A while ago, I was on a job froht it would be a good idea to say hi, but he didn't even bother noticing me…”

”So if he noticed you then, you'd go and lick his boots, huh?” Fang Xing wasted no ti Yu further Yu, on the other hand, did not answer hi Xing's wine bowl instead

Receiving no response, Fang Xing proceeded with a loud curse: ”That son of a bich kicked ood as dead!”

Startled by Fang Xing's sudden change in an to panic but still tried to console hi, you need to calm down I-if you're still upset about that day… you can beat et yourself involved with him in any way…”

”How do you knoon't?” Fang Xing angrily replied as he jumped to his feet

Even though Fang Xing began kicking Yu to release his anger, Yu didn't mind Within these four 's personality and—while Fang XingXing was not awas young, but he still fully understood the code of brotherhood; not everyone would be willing to give out two Spirit Stones without a second thought otherwise

Fang Xing kicked Yu out of his cottage as soon as they had finished the et to practice his Qi fluctuations

For so when he heard of Hou Qing's latest achievements

'I've already used twelve Stones in the past four months but still couldn't break into tier two… and that bastard Hou Qing is almost at tier four? Am I so stupid that there's no comparison between us? No! I have to be better than that bastard! I MUST break into tier two today!'

Holding back his full te took out the thirteenth Stone

Fang Xing breathed with the specific te his meridians with an abundance of Qi from the Spirit Stone

Soon, it happened again

Every ti attempted to spread Qi evenly across his entire body, his control would be hindered by an unknown force until the Qi had fully dissipated He had failed to break through yet again, but this time he see up, Fang Xing started again fro the speed of his control

Unfortunately, the result was the same as the previous attempts, even if the speed of control and anificantly increased
