BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16
Ordinary Qi-sensors can’t contain or hold onto Qi within their bodies.
They can only passively accept the refining effect of Qi on their flesh, thus enhancing their physical fitness.
Storing Qi in the body, and even manipulating Qi,
Those are things only a Heavenly Person can do.
Could it be!!
“He’s a Heavenly Person?!”
Li Chenghu frowned, speaking in a deep voice.
Heavenly People are terrifying entities that surpass humans, surpass Qi-sensors, and dominate over individual lives.
Since joining the Wu’an Bureau, although Li Chenghu has never come into contact with a Heavenly Person, he has read several documents about them.
After these Heavenly People awaken, their minds are often twisted by powerful forces.
They even consider themselves gods, above all beings, not caring about the lives of ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Chenghu instinctively dislikes Heavenly People.
“Not a Heavenly Person, but not an ordinary Qi-Sensor either.”
Li Xingwu seemed to enjoy his son’s shocked reaction, his eyes slightly narrowed, full of laughter.
“Wu Ran’s body has an unprecedented compatibility with Qi, to the point that it can spontaneously store Qi.”
“Though he can’t actively control Qi, such high compatibility naturally enhances his physical fitness daily.”
“As for the one you brought along…. What’s his name, Chen something.”
“If you want to accept him as a disciple, go ahead, I will have people teach him what he should learn.”
“But don’t expect me to give him any special treatment.”
The implication was that he didn’t think much of Chen Sheng.
Li Xingwu chuckled while stroking his white beard, ready to continue enjoying his son’s shocked expression.
However,
Things didn’t go as he wished.
After listening to his father’s boasting, Li Chenghu simply nodded expressionlessly.
He withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to Wu Ran.
His purpose for coming today was to bring Chen Sheng to acknowledge a master.
As for how talented Wu Ran is, it doesn’t really concern him.
“Since you agree, I’ll formally accept Chen Sheng as a disciple.”
“Starting tomorrow, he will come to the Martial Arts Hall to learn.”
With that said,
Li Chenghu gave Chen Sheng a look and turned to leave the Hall.
“Goodbye, Master Li.”
Chen Sheng politely bowed, then turned to follow Li Chenghu.
If the other party didn’t care about him, he didn’t care either.
After all, the person he was acknowledging as a master was Li Chenghu, not the Grand Master standing in front of him.
He believed that Li Chenghu would not harm him.
Their reactions left Li Xingwu feeling like he had punched cotton.
Thump!
His white beard bristling, his eyes glaring, he slapped the tea table and chastised Li Chenghu.
“Little rabbit, you’d better not come asking for my help next time.”
“ill-mannered, ignorant of etiquette, I really don’t know who taught you!!”
“My dad taught me!” Li Chenghu stated loudly without looking back.
This made Li Xingwu so angry that his face turned red and he almost fainted from holding his chest.
“Master, are you okay?”
Wu Ran quickly came up and patted Li Xingwu’s back.
Watching his talented and considerate disciple, Li Xingwu felt slightly better.
He stood up from the chair and called Wu Ran to follow.action
“Forget it, I won’t bother with that little brat.”
“Today I made nourishing soup, you can start practicing after drinking it.”
“Thank you, Master!”
Upon hearing that,
Wu Ran beamed and quickly helped Li Xingwu towards the back door of the practice martial field.
He didn’t care about the interruption by Chen Sheng and the others earlier.
After two months of practicing martial arts, Wu Ran had already realized how terrifying his talent was.
There are vast differences among Qi-sensors.
In the Martial Arts Hall, the remaining disciples are basically Qi-sensors.
Among them, except for a few direct disciples,
No one was a match for Wu Ran.
And he, has only been practicing martial arts for two months.
In three months at the least, and half a year at the most,
The people in this dojo will be left far behind by him.
He and these people are destined not to be in the same world.
Wu Ran was very clear about this.
————-
“Little Chen, I’m sorry.”
As soon as they left the training ground, Li Chenghu looked at Chen Sheng with a slight apology.
“With your talent, you can shine regardless of who your master is.”
“If you don’t want to go to the Xingwu Gym, I can help introduce you to other gyms.”
Li Chenghu was well aware of his father’s character.
However, he originally thought that as long as Chen Sheng showed his talent in martial arts, he should be valued.
Who knew that someone named Wu Ran would appear halfway through his six-month hiatus from his father, which led to Chen Sheng being overlooked.
Even though he had already agreed with his father,
If Chen Sheng didn’t want to acknowledge a master, Li Chenghu wouldn’t want to force him.
However,
Chen Sheng seemed not to hear Li Chenghu’s words.
“Tiger Bro, how is the master-disciple ceremony done?”
He answered Li Chenghu in his own way.
With the panel, whoever he makes his master only changes where he trains.
Since Li Chenghu has helped him, he felt obliged to return the favor.
Even though this might not be the most beneficial choice.
But all Chen Sheng wanted was to be true to himself.
Upon hearing this,
Li Chenghu was initially taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face.
“Call me master.”
“Master!”
“Good, I accept you as my disciple.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Then they left the martial arts hall together.
“Get in the car, I’ll drive you home.”
Upon reaching the parking lot, Li Chenghu opened the car door and indicated for Chen Sheng to get in.
But Chen Sheng remained still.
“Tiger Bro, you go ahead.”
“I want to run home, to get in some exercise.”
Chen Sheng waved goodbye.
He wasn’t going to pass up on any opportunity to train.
“Wait.”
Just as Chen Sheng was about to start running, Li Chenghu stopped him.
He took a backpack from the car and tossed it to him.
Chen Sheng reached out and caught it,
and opened it for a look.
Inside were some herbs that Chen Sheng didn’t recognize.
“This is vitality soup, used to replenish your Qi and blood. It’s more effective than eating a bunch of stuff every day.”
“Use two bowls of water and two bottles of yellow wine, simmer on low heat to make one bowl, this should be enough for you to brew six times.”
“Drink one bowl every day and you’ll have enough Qi and blood to practice the Three-body Stance.”
“But!”
At this point,
Li Chenghu raised his voice, his expression becoming serious.
“The Three-body Stance is not like ordinary exercises. It involves utilizing your entire body, converting Qi and blood to enhance your strength.”
“Don’t think that because you have the vitality soup, you can go home and practice Three-body Stance nonstop.”
“A few hours of practice every day should be enough. The rest of the time can be used for other exercises, to give your body time to recover.”
“Otherwise, once your Qi and blood are depleted, mild cases would need half a month of rest, serious cases might cause organ damage, remember this!”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng felt a shiver in his heart.
Only then did he realize that he almost made a huge mistake practicing as hard as he did yesterday.
“I understand now, Tiger Bro.”
He immediately responded sincerely.
Seeing this,
Li Chenghu nodded and then got into the car.
With the sound of the engine starting, the police car drove off into the distance.
After he left,
Chen Sheng attentively looked at the backpack in his hands, silently remembering this kind gesture in his heart.
Afterward,
He put on the backpack and started to warm up on the spot.
Twenty kilometers was a new challenge for Chen Sheng.
But he believed that with his current physical attributes, it should be no problem.
With this in mind,
Chen Sheng started his stride, running towards home.
Two hours later.
“Huff”
Chen Sheng stood at the roadside, his calves cramping.
He was still about five kilometers away from home.
In the past two hours, he ran about fifteen kilometers.
His panel was brought up.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 1.12]
[Agility: 1.01]
[Constitution: 1.20]
[Skill Points: 0.55]
This run resulted in a 0.01 increase in both Strength and Agility.
As for his Constitution, it increased by 0.04.
His Skill Points also reached the points needed to upgrade the Three-body Stance.
The gains were quite satisfactory.
But not being able to run the whole distance, Chen Sheng felt a little regretful.
It wasn’t that he was out of energy,
but the long, continuous run had left his calves feeling sore to the point of being unbearable.
Regarding this,
Chen Sheng attributed it to his muscles not being strong enough.
But he believed that after tonight’s exercise, the increase in his attributes would surely be enough for him to conquer the distance from his home to the martial arts hall.
Thinking thus,
Chen Sheng began to stretch out his legs on the spot.
Only after the soreness had slightly subsided did he hail a moto-taxi to take him home.
