He jumped to the time when he issued a letter of challenge to his senior brother and comprehended another way to become stronger in the battle with his senior brother.

That was to learn all kinds of mystic arts!

Although I’m not as good as you in terms of cultivation, I can rely on endless methods to defeat my opponent.

In the following year, Wu Qingce constantly wanted to go to other halls to learn mystic arts, but he realized that his talent in mystic arts was very ordinary and he was very slow in learning everything.

Moreover, because he did not cultivate properly, his cultivation had fallen behind.

This caused him to become even more “ordinary”. He could not even be considered an outstanding disciple in the Chaotic Stars Hall.

‘Really…ls there no path I can take?

Just as Wu Qingce was lost in his thoughts, Jiang Beiran appeared.

“You want to become stronger, right?”

As he listened to his senior brother’s question, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that there seemed to be two senior brothers overlapping in front of him.

At the same time, he asked himself this question.

“Yes, sir!”

Wu Qingce replied loudly.

He didn’t want to obliterate everyone. He didn’t want to live a dull life.

What he wanted was something spectacular. What he wanted was…

Invincible!

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingce felt that his life had accelerated again.

The moment he took the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, Wu Qingce could clearly feel that his ordinary constitution was no longer ordinary.

He finally stood on the same starting line as those geniuses!

His efforts would no longer be in vain!

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”

Wu Qingce expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, he had already made up his mind to repay the debt of gratitude for the rest of his life.

“Raise your head.”

Wu Qingce slowly raised his head at his senior brother’s words. Although the senior brother in front of him was his senior brother, he didn’t seem to be his senior brother at all.

“Qing Ce, you must remember that you must become stronger for yourself, not to repay my kindness.”

Wu Qingce, who had been defeated by Yuan Xingteng, did not have any complaints, because he had been defeated by Yuan Xingteng with a casual move.

Before today, Wu Qingce had always thought that his movements were as fast as lightning. During sparring sessions, his opponents would always fall to the ground before they could see his moves clearly.

But today, Wu Qingce had experienced this feeling himself.

He had no idea when Yuan Xingteng had rushed in front of him. All he felt was a tightness in his chest and a sweetness in his throat.

He fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Although he had underestimated the enemy, he was not careless.

There was only one reason for this result, and that was the absolute difference in strength.

Therefore, Wu Qingce was not unconvinced. He knew that even if he fought a hundred times in this situation, he would still be defeated by the other party in one move.

‘This is…cultivators?

Wu Qingce had heard his father talk about cultivators when he was very young. He had always wanted to become a cultivator.

However, his father told him that he would have to wait until the year of the dancing elephant before he could sense the spiritual energy and join a sect to become a cultivator.

Therefore, he had been waiting for that day to come.

“Father.” Wu Qingce, who was lying weakly on the bed, shouted.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Fengmian asked.

“Didn’t you say that when the Year of the Dancing Elephant… Only then can it become a cultivator?”

Seeing that his son wasn’t hysterical or clamoring for revenge, Wu Fengmian felt quite relieved.

He took a wet towel from the copper basin and wiped the sweat off Wu Qingce’s forehead. He said gently, “”There are always some people with extraordinary talent in this world. They were born to break all kinds of rules and become an existence that everyone looks up to.”

“Is that Yuan Xingteng younger than me?” “Yes, he’s a year younger than you.”

“So he’s the kind of person with extraordinary talent?”

“That’s right. I’ve been in the martial world for so long, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone become a cultivator at such a young age. It’s not unfair that you lost to him.”

“Then will we have a chance to defeat him in the future?”

“Of course, when you become a cultivator and work hard, you will definitely be able to defeat him one day. What you need to do now is to lay a good foundation.

“Good! I will definitely work hard! Work hard! Work harder!”

After saying this, Wu Qingce finally burst into tears. For someone who had never lost before, today’s battle was a huge blow to him. At the same time, it was the first time his pride had suffered such a huge blow.

After this painful lesson, Wu Qingce was no longer arrogant.

Every day, he would train until he could not get up.

Three years passed like this. Wu Qingce’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. He had learned almost all of his father’s hidden weapon skills. He could easily hit a target a hundred meters away with his eyes closed.

However, he had never been happy about it.

This was because he still could not absorb any spiritual energy.

Every day when he woke up, he was full of hope that he could absorb spiritual energy, but his wish came to nothing again and again.

Finally, he understood.

He was just an ordinary person. At the very least, when it came to cultivation, he was no different from most people.

Invincible…

It was all just a dream.

Although he had never asked his father about Yuan Xingteng’s current cultivation level, no, rather than saying that he had never asked, it was more accurate to say that he did not dare to ask.

That Yuan Xingteng was able to flip him to the ground with one move three years ago. Now that three years had passed, with his talent, he was probably already so strong that he could not even imagine it.

This irreparable gap caused Wu Qingce to sink into despair.

Without talent, no matter how hard you work…

What was the use?

From then on, although Wu Qingce did not give up on himself, he no longer had the youthful spirit he once had. He also quietly buried his dream of being invincible.

Tvvo years later, Wu Qingce finally reached the year of the dancing elephant. One morning, he sensed the presence of spiritual energy around him.

But at that moment, he did not feel any joy.

Compared to ordinary people who could not cultivate for their entire lives, it was already a very powerful talent for him to be able to sense spiritual energy.

But so what…

At most, he could only become a foil to those geniuses. That was all.

Through his father’s connections, he had entered a sect called the Returning Heart Sect. Although it was not a top-notch sect in Feng Province, it was still considered first-rate.

After that, he became a disciple of the Chaotic Stars Hall and began his cultivation life.

The truth was just as he had imagined. His talent was neither high nor low. Although he had a firm foothold in the hall with his excellent hidden weapon skills, there were only a few people who were better than him.

The days passed like this. Soon, it was time for him to go down the mountain for his first experience.

He didn’t have anything that wanted to specify the Iron Seal, so he was randomly added to a training team, and he saw his Iron Seal in the square.

“Mas…”

The moment he saw the iron seal, Wu Qingce felt his entire body tremble. He was about to say the word, but he forgot who the other party was.

However, Ironseal suddenly walked up to him and smiled,””Have you forgotten who I am?”

“Bang!”

Wu Qingce felt as if his brain had exploded when he heard that. In the next second, his ” life ” seemed to have been accelerated.

He jumped to the time when he issued a letter of challenge to his senior brother and comprehended another way to become stronger in the battle with his senior brother.

That was to learn all kinds of mystic arts!

Although I’m not as good as you in terms of cultivation, I can rely on endless methods to defeat my opponent.
