“Seven or eight isn’t a low number It’s a lot! Do you have any idea how much it costs to train a Xian Tian Warrior? An unthinkable auarantee of the desired outcome even with this kind of an investment A very few people are able to reach the Xian Tian level,” Aunt Zhen sighed and spoke with a bitter smile
The boy sank into a deep silence
“Well, there’s still a lot of time for that The entire nation would be at your service if you ever e to reach that level Even the Emperor of Da Qi would be polite and favourable to you That’s why… the top-most warriors are called the National Guardians Let’s discuss the Art of Body Te for now Which level are you on?” the woman asked
“The seventh level,” shi+ Mu replied with pride
shi+ Mu with his talent and abilities would indeed benefit if he could learn soet enrolled into the Kai Yuan Martial Arts School
“The seventh level? That’s a decent achievement The enrolment process at the Kai Yuan Martial Arts School will start next year You ible for that Do you think you can do that?”
“I wasn’t sure earlier… but now I’ to realize that I can… at least to a certain extent” shi+ Mu thought for some ti the ninth level and sensing one’s Real Qi are the basic requirements for everyone Besides that… you’ll also have to prove your worth by co fiercely with the other candidates,” the woe’ tone
shi+ Mu listened carefully
“I’ve heard that the number of talented candidates this year is more than usual Some of them have already tempered their bodies to the ninth or even tenth level It’s true that the higher levels are able to sense Qi more successfully It has been seen in the past that less than one-tenth of the total candidates are able to sense Qi even with the aid of the Qi Ling pill
“Mostly the Martial Disciples in their thirties or forties are able to reat difficulty… and with the help of innu pills
“The applicants at the Kai Yuan Martial Arts School need to be between the age of ten and fifteen It’s because one is unable to tee of ten as the body’s bones aren’t yet shaped properly Fifteen is the age at which one loses one’s potential for further acco would be in vain if one hasn’t te City boasts of many accomplished warriors But, less than a hundred of these warriors have the opportunity or the talent to make it to the upper levels Our Jin Family was blessed to have an advanced Hou Tian Warrior as our ancestor It’s partly because of his reputation that the Jin Faed to assert its prominence in Quan Zhou,” a wave of pride appeared on the woet the wo with the words that ‘reaching higher levels ure ‘one-tenth’ stayed with him He took a deep breath to calm himself down He hadn’t assu pill successfully achieved Qi-sensing But, he hadn’t expected that the chances would be this low
“You can still change youryour decision” Aunt Zhen looked at the boy and smiled
“No! I’ve made up my mind,” shi+ Mu shook his head and said
“In that case… take this suburb– our butler – will live with you there… and assist you if you need anything The Qi Ling pill that the Jin Family has ordered will come in a year’s time I’ll let you knohen it arrives You should take it upon yourself to learn– in order to duel in the real fights for the enrolment test The Jin Family has a unique martial arts manual in its possession But, only the Jin family members are allowed to learn from it,” Aunt Zhen nodded and advised
“Thank you, Aunt Zhen,” shi+ Mu said with gratitude
shi+ Mu left the manor after a quarter-of-an-hour He held a wooden case in his hand; he seemed quite puzzled
The wooden case contained his late father’s properties and belongings – including the deed to the bigof silver notes, forty-five or sixty hectares of fine farmland near the one fro ed man paid a visit to the manor shortly after shi+ Mu’s departure He seery He started to question Aunt Zhen in a violent ive the only Qi Ling pill to an outsider over your nephew?”
“Father had promised me this in person Do you have any objection to Father’s decision?”
“I do have objections with our dealings with the Biao brothers But, that’s not the cause for my visit That boy isn’t a Jin Why should an outsider benefit from the pill that we’ve obtained with so much difficulty? Father will not refuse you… if you were to change your mind You’re aware that your nephew couldn’t achieve Qi-sensing last tie of this opportunity He has finally reached the peak of his development It’s also the year of the enrolrets his entire life if heface expressed his anger and frustration His eyes seee
“Humph! An outsider…? He’s the only flesh and blood of my husband – the same man who saved half of the Jin Family’s properties Does this answer satisfy you, Brother Wu?” Aunt Zhen retorted bluntly
“Well… if you still wish to favour an outsider… who has no blood relation with you… then I’ve nothing more to say I’ll not plead with you any pill for your nephew e
“Mother, will you let Uncle Wu disrespect you… and walk away so easily?” Yu Huan eed from a hidden spot after the man’s departure She then blinked her eyes and asked
“No harm has been done You’re aware that your cousin’s talents as a warrior aren’t quite up to thethe nu A Qi Ling pill wouldn’t help hi Your uncle had to ask me for it since this was his last hope”
“That’s true shi+ Mu is far more talented than Jin Tian Jin Tian would have a very low chance at being enrolled even if he were to loated and clapped her hands
