Chapter 36: The Test Before the First Lesson

Looking at the longing in the eyes of the two children, Mu took out his pipe and took two puffs before telling them about this special effect in a cloud of smoke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"As you already know, Qi is born from the mighty Titans. Their inherited physique from the Father of Order, combined with their almost divine souls, allows them to easily give birth to this transcendent power within their own bodies. In a way, this power has been flowing in their bodies since the day they were born. Titans, on the other hand, have a near-infinite lifespan, and it is almost impossible for them to die a natural death. So as long as they are alive, their perfect bodies are constantly refining this power in their bodies. ā€

"When you have qi, you will understand that this is where this power is born. ā€

Mu said, pointing to his heart. At the same time, he began to release his dark blue breath like the tide of the sea. And when he was released, they clearly heard the sound of the powerful beating heart in his chest. It was like beating a thick cowhide drum, and when he could do so, the heartbeat was so thick that it was deafening.

Not only the heartbeat, but even the sound of blood flowing inside could be heard clearly. It was as if a river was flowing in front of him, and the unusually obvious rumbling made Hiko almost suspect that he was not facing his father, but a humanoid dragon.

Looking at the surprise on his child's face, Mu grinned and continued.

"The heart, the root of Qi. Like a hammer that is constantly beating, Qi is constantly being tempered by the beating heart as it accompanies the flow of blood in your body. As it is refined, the qi becomes more and more refined until the mortal body grows old and can no longer provide powerful refinement. Mortals will grow old and die, and no matter how powerful they are, they will come to naught. However, you must understand that the Titans are not mortals, they are a very special being. Their hearts don't stop beating even after they're dead. In other words, the root of their qi is still there. That's why I say that the heart of the Titan is the key that can help mortals unlock this transcendent power, because it holds treasure in itself. ā€

"But just using it as a key to open it is a bit of a waste. It can be said that if that is the case, then nine times out of ten, the treasure left behind by the long river of time has been wasted. Compared with this wasteful means, there is actually a more appropriate approach. That is to use this residual power as a spark to sublimate the qi in one's body. The result is a more powerful and purified energy called vindictiveness. And by the time you've done that, you're almost at the top of the world. ā€

It's like telling a story, and Mu ends it so simply. After listening to his words, Hiko turned his dark eyes and asked his father.

"So, Daddy. Does the Titan you are talking about still exist?"

"Almost all the Titans died in this war of antiquity, so there are few living Titans left in this world. You don't have to fight their ideas, after all, the Titans who have survived until now are probably above most gods in terms of pure combat power. Your idea of beating them is actually the same as looking for death. ā€

Rubbing his son's head, Mu dispelled the ghost idea in his head in this way, and hearing his father say this, Yan shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"I understand, I understand. After all, no one can be so generous and give their hearts. If anything, I guess his brain has been dedicated to someone else in advance. ā€

"It's good that you understand. Alright, let's get to today's practice. First of all, the dome. I wonder how far you are right now. So, I want you to fight Hiko. Do your best, as long as you can defeat him, it doesn't matter if you beat him to a bruised nose and swollen face. What I'm trying to see is your ability, so let it go, understand?"

Mu's first class made such a miraculous request. Hearing him say this, Hiko immediately shouted and complained.

"Hey, Daddy. It's not fair, why do you want this violent girl to use me to get angry. This is obviously giving her a chance to beat me up, okay?"

"Why, don't you even have the confidence to deal with a girl, or do you think you're not as weak as a girl?"

He patted Hiko's shoulder and shoved him forward two steps. Mu directly threw two sturdy wooden long swords between the two of them.

"Do it, don't hesitate, unless you want to spend the whole day in this damn place. ā€

Hearing his teacher say this, Qiong directly pulled up the two wooden swords that were stuck in the ground, and then threw one to Hiko, and said to him at the same time.

"The teacher is right, don't hesitate to attack me like a Nord man. I don't want to waste my time waiting for this pointlessness. ā€

"Hey, can you act like a little bit of a girl? Look at your temper, you're like a she-wolf who has been hungry for a week. ā€

Taking the wooden sword with bared teeth, Hiko cautiously took two steps back. At the same time, he said to the dome in a mocking tone. Hearing him say this, the dome not only did not show any anger, but grinned at him with a big smile. Of course, she didn't mistake Hiko's words for any compliment, but she just found a reasonable excuse for her next behavior.

"You know, I heard you say that. I'm a lot more relieved all of a sudden, at least when I beat you to the point of bruising your nose and face, crying and begging for mercy, I won't feel guilty in my heart!"

"Wait, wait. We probably don't have to listen to my old man's nonsense, you know? He might just want to see us. So, I mean, we can't just sit down and have a good talk?"

Hearing Dome say this, Hiko felt his little liver tremble. He didn't want to be beaten and bruised, so he began to try to weave a better ending in his own words.

But for his statement, the dome does not have the slightest sense of agreement.

"You know? I don't think so. All I want to do right now is to give you a good beating, don't worry. I won't be too heavy, at most it will hurt you for a few days. ā€

"How many days does it hurt?" Hearing this keyword, Hiko's voice was raised a few points. As soon as he heard his tone, Dome immediately said apologetically.

"Sorry, maybe my words are a little inaccurate. I thought, maybe a month?"

"A month, are you planning to break a few of my bones?" At first glance, Hikoko held his sword and flinched a little. "Are you planning to murder me? Don't forget, what you ate this morning was made by me? ā€

"Oh, yes? Thank you for the breakfast, and I can give you the same for some time to come, if you allow it. Of course, before I do that, I need to correct you a little. Are you sure we don't have any festives between us? Don't forget, what kind of adjective did you use to describe me before that? ā€

"Oh, please, it's just a monotonous adjective, and if you can change your mind, I can praise you a hundred, a thousand times more beautifully. It's like, you are the flower of the rock wall on the snowy mountain, and the moment I see the morning light reflects, my heart sways or something. ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, the dome froze as if it were a sculpture. She was still for a moment, but the moment quickly dissolved.

"I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a poet, but right now, you're in the Icefield of Arest, so I'll tell you that your words are far less powerful than your movements. Are you ready? I'll ...... when you're ready."

As soon as she finished speaking, her whole body shot out like a sharp arrow. The rough and blunt tip of the wooden sword magnified in Hiko's eyes at a rapid speed, causing him to turn sideways almost subconsciously and avoid the rapid blow. And when he held the wooden sword in his hand, put on a posture to face the battle, and stood firmly in front of the dome, the dome immediately smiled.

"Interesting, the first standard of swordsmanship of the Iron Corps. It's not bad, but it's not enough. At the very least, in the eyes of our Nords, it is completely inadequate. ā€

With that, Dome stepped forward, and at the same time, with a powerful shout, he swung the wooden sword in his hand at Hiko's shoulder and neck at a straight angle.

Her speed was so fast that Hiko didn't have time to dodge at all, so he could only carry his weapon hard and use the wooden sword in his hand to take the blow hard. And when he took the blow, he immediately bared his teeth and screamed.

"Nord's avalanche swordsmanship, it's really terrible, I think a girl like you should learn to be gentle, like this kind of savage move, it's really not suitable for you at all. ā€

"Really? I don't think so. You know, since you were born a Nord, you should make yourself brave. Avalanche swordsmanship is one of the swordsmanship that best embodies the Nord people, and by mastering it, you are equivalent to mastering our lives. ā€

"That's a nice thing to say, but can you do it lightly?"

As he spoke, he slid the weight off his shoulders with the spine of the wooden sword, and as he unloaded his strength, he also twisted his body violently, allowing the blade to sweep towards the dome with his twist.

Of course, Dome dodged very quickly and said to him with a smile.

"That's not going to work, it's my hobby. Also, you're out of shape!"
