Chapter 14: Plan to Trap Qin (1/2)

'Well, being low key is not a bad idea. As she said, I basically don't have any background or someone to support me. Those days I refused to show my talents for cultivation because I feared they might use me.'

'So, why do I want to be high-profile now? Is it because of arrogance and pride? I shouldn't drown myself in pride. Alright, for now, I should simply focus on learning Soaring Dragon Art. As for the rest, I would think about it when the time comes.'

Qin thought to himself and started reading Soaring Dragon Art.

It was a simple movement step that needs him to understand the flow of the wind and use it to propel himself. He needs to strengthen his legs using qi so that he can strike the air. And, he needs to coat his leg with qi as well.

This means it requires a lot of qi and if he doesn't have enough, he will suffer for sure. Qin was seriously considering whether to practice this now or later. After all, he doesn't want to take some serious risk here.

But, suddenly his eyes shrunk.

'Those men will probably guard this place for a long time. The only way to escape is by using movement art. If I learn this movement, I can use the lightning bolts to distract them as soon as I go out. Then, using this art, I can escape far.'

'But, after that, I must do everything to hide from them until I recover my qi. With one piece of Essence Stone, it won't be hard. I have two Essence Stones. Hmm! I think I should train my Qi Sense. Although I don't have the art in my hands, I have some general ideas.'

'As long as I can escape from those guards, I will be able to hunt other guards who are at the lower stage.'

As soon as those thoughts rang on his mind, he shook his head and muttered ”I can't do that. If I do something like this then they will definitely send stronger people to fight me. It could get ugly. I must not do anything reckless.”

”But, what should I do about the resources? I need Essence Stone to cultivate faster.”

If others were to hear him, they would definitely slap him to death. In just a few days, he has gone from none cultivator to the second stage of Qi Gathering Realm. It is a huge improvement in itself.

”I never said that you would need to act low like that. It seems you don't understand the meaning of acting low. There are three essential components for acting. One is your performance, second is your audience and third is your stage.”

”If you try to act low in front of the audience that is not willing to watch that performance then your efforts will be wasted. So instead of using fist, try to use your brain. Look at your surroundings and find a perfect way to acquire essence stones.”

”Don't forget you can bring people inside this space whether dead or alive!” Suddenly, Claire's voice rang from the room which startled him.

But, this also got him into thinking about his own situation. He must act low but there are ways to get benefits from acting low-key. Suddenly, an idea struck his brain. Without wasting more time, he started learning Soaring Dragon Art.

This martial art was divided into three levels.

Dragon Steps- In this level, a person can condense the qi below his foot. Then he needs to step on air using that qi. He needs to train his qi to make it light as air and also make it buoyancy enough to float on air. To move, the person must keep on walking.

Soaring Bird- In this level, a person can step on-air and also manipulate wind to push him faster. This step requires a certain level of comprehension of the wind elements. Once a person comprehends this level, he can float on air and move with the help of wind. This means he doesn't need to move his foot.

Soaring Dragon- This level is the final level and in this level, one needs to comprehend Wind Intent. Once a person comprehends wind intent, he can condense wind on his foot and shoot wind to move. This step is faster than previous steps because one can travel fifty to a hundred meters in a single step.

But, before even comprehending first, second or third level, he must train his leg with qi. He must kick thousand times after condensing a large amount of qi in his leg.

Qin stood up and closed his eyes. His Qi sense entered his dantian. First, he separated the qi inside his dantian based on the amount. He separated all of his qi into five square shapes and equally. He did that so that he can train without using a large amount of qi or with utilizing a small amount of qi.
