Chapter 632: Breakthrough
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Clearly, Qin Chongyang was not joking for he appeared to be extremely sincere.
It appears that this time, Chengcheng’s talent test had impressive results. If this weren’t the case, being a disciple with a foreign surname, how could he have received Qin Chongyang’s interest?
Besides, Chengcheng was only four or five years old. Having received Qin Chongyang’s recognition was already a great honor.
“Wushuang, you don’t want to be apart from him? Do you want to keep your nephew as your own disciple?” Qin Chongyang asked with a chuckle.
“Of course not. With my little power, how could I teach any disciples? I am just happy for Chengcheng.” Currently, Qin Wushuang was filled with joy.
“Yes, Wushuang, no one knows that you’ve brought Chengcheng here, right?” Suddenly, Qin Chongyang asked thoughtfully.
“No, Third Chief, why do you ask?” Qin Wushuang was somewhat confused.
Qin Chongyang waved his hand and motioned Qin Wushuang to relax. He laughed and said, “I want to take this kid as my disciple, but for now I don’t want to expose his relationship with you. Chengcheng will be a kid that I’ve brought back from one of my own travels. You two will pretend to not know each other at the Aspiring Throne Mountain for now. Wushuang, do you understand my intentions?”
After a moment of thinking, Qin Wushuang nodded. “I understand. Your starting point is to protect Chengcheng and at the same time, protect me.”
Indeed as Qin Wushuang had guessed, Qin Chongyang was doing it to protect Chengcheng. He would not want too much attention to focus on his identity.
On the other hand, it was also to protect Qin Wushuang. It was to prevent meaningless jealousy from others, if they were to think that he was receiving special treatment.
Seeing that Qin Wushuang had understood without the need to explain, Qin Chongyang was satisfied. “Wushuang, go explain to Chengcheng. I see that kid dares to do great mischief. You should be able to get through to him.”
Qin Wushuang also knew that Chengcheng was a little adult. If given an explanation, he would listen and understand. If not, this kid would have to suffer the consequences.
A man should go through some hardships. Bearing hardships at a young age would definitely pay off when growing up. Many geniuses and successful people have been born out of hardships.
Indeed, Chengcheng listened to Qin Wushuang’s words well. After having listened to his explanation, the kid nodded while taking it to heart. “Uncle, I understand. You want me to pretend not to know you before and after people. And to not let people guess at our relationship, right?”
“You are smart. It’s not because I am not recognizing you, but I am afraid that if people knew you are my nephew, they would target you deliberately. I have many sworn enemies, do you understand?”
Chengcheng continued to nod. “I understand. But uncle, you must come to see me when you are free. You are my only family here.”
Qin Wushuang gently caressed the little guy’s head and laughed. “Don’t worry, all people of the Qin Clan are your family. As long as you enter the Aspiring Throne Mountain, your fellow disciples are all your friends. Of course, I am much closer to you. Chengcheng, don’t worry, as the Third Chief took you in as his disciple, others will not easily bully you.”
“Uncle, I am not afraid of others bullying me. When I grow up, whoever bullies me, I will beat them,” the little guy waved his fist and said with deadly honest tone.
Qin Wushuang smiled at his words and reminded him, “Little one, remember my words. As a man, you must take upon yourself at a young age. Now, you are been taking in as a direct disciple by the Third Chief and you are not just representing yourself, but your parents, your family, and your teacher. In the bigger context, you also represent the entire Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.”
Chengcheng nodded sincerely. “Uncle, I know. Don’t worry, I am not afraid of hardships nor hard work. I will never disgrace anyone.”
Despite his young age, he was clever and incredibly thoughtful. He was much more mature than other kids of his own age.
This also made Qin Wushuang rest assured.
To Chengcheng, it was truly a great fortuitous opportunity when a major figure as Qin Chongyang had taken in him as a disciple.
Although Mu Rong Xu was now Qin Wushuang’s fiancée, she could not follow him to enter the Ascending Dragon Slope. It was because this was an area belonging to the core disciples of the Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin clan. After all, Mu Rong Xu was still a disciple to the Floating Snow House. Therefore, only after Mu Rong Xu was married to Qin Wushuang would she be qualified to visit the Ascending Dragon Slope.
Although Mu Rong Xu was at the Aspiring Throne Mountain, she was arranged at the guest house. Of course, for a major sect such as the Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin Clan, the construction of the guest house was also exquisitely constructed.
Mu Rong Xu knew that soon her father would come to pay a visit, so she’d rather stay at the Aspiring Throne Mountain and await for her father anyway. From the bottom of her heart she hoped the Floating Snow House and Qin Clan would form an alliance.
After Qin Wushuang returned to the Ascending Dragon Slope, each day he concentrated on training. During his free time he would visit Mu Rong Xu. The two of them spent time together with proper etiquette and were rather joyous and harmonious. They were on good terms with each other.
This was also his most relaxed period of time since Qin Wushuang had stepped onto the path of martial arts. During this time, Qin Wushuang did not slack off and worked hard to consolidate the Profound Void Martial Stage.
He missed the rich spiritual Qi inside the ley lines of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Unfortunately, that circumstance could only be met and not asked for. Most likely he would not encounter such a good thing again.
The Sky Pilfered Pill had stayed inside Qin Wushuang’s body and he was in no rush to refine it. Qin Wushuang also had an incredible rational mind. Under the circumstance where he could achieve something with his own efforts, he did not wish to use outside power to achieve a breakthrough. For someone with a long-term training plan, these outside aids were not necessarily a good thing.
Therefore, for now he did not wish to refine that Sky Pilfered Pill. Unless in the situation of a crisis, he would only consider to refine this pill at that time.
Unconsciously, half a year had passed and another early spring had arrived. In these six months, although Qin Wushuang had not achieved an actual breakthrough, he had consolidated the Profound Void Martial Stage to its full extent. At the same, the collaboration between him and the ten sealed spiritual beasts had matured even more.
Now, these ten sealed spiritual beasts had become Qin Wushuang’s most competent assistants.
Bao Bao and Lone did not slack off either as they also trained hard. On the surface, these two guys were the same as Qin Wushuang’s contracted spiritual beasts. Since their identities were not as sensitive as Mu Rong Xu, they could enter and leave the Ascending Dragon Slope as they wished.
The environment of the Ascending Dragon Slope had of course, allowed Bao Bao and Lone to be like fishes in the water. They had benefited a lot by training at the Ascending Dragon Slope.
On this day, suddenly, Bao Bao received a response from his heart as he let Lone defend him. It was because he had a strong premonition that he seemed to be upgrading to the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Compared to Qin Wushuang’s training speed, Bao Bao felt that he was too slow. Yet before Lone, Bao Bao’s speed was apparently on the faster side.
This time, Lone was incredibly calm. Ever since Qin Chongyang spoke of mutated spiritual beasts, Lone had become calmer.
Deeply inside his heart, he was already forming expectations.
Bao Bao’s blood flowed at a rapid speed as a surge of strange power travelled inside his body making him feel as if he was about to explode.
Now, the entire slope was covered by a pile of golden lights. Unconsciously, Bao Bao’s breakthrough had caused a violent change to the surrounding environment.
When Lone saw this scene, he was also incredibly astonished; however, he knew that this was Bao Bao’s critical moment during a breakthrough. He would not want to disturb him.
Boss was not far away from them either. If any accident were to happen, he could just call his boss to come help. He would not worry about anything since this was his own territory.
One after another, golden lights kept shooting towards the sky from the slope. Under the golden light, a shadow ball danced and transformed in the sky.
This was Bao Bao enduring the ordeal of the Profound Void Martial Stage.
Now, the Profound Void Martial Stage was arriving. Bao Bao was enduring the last test. To spiritual beasts, each breakthrough was in fact, an extremely painful experience.
Especially for Bao Bao, since he had the bloodline of the Ancient Spiritual Monkey. The bloodline inside him flourished much more than ordinary spiritual beast. Therefore, during the breakthrough, the ordeal and test at the later stage was much more powerful.
However, Bao Bao was still Bao Bao. He did not gain the bloodline of the Ancient Spiritual Monkey out of nowhere, despite how the breakthrough process brought endless pain to him.
It did not pose any substantive harm to his own body in the end.
This golden light seemed to showcase a somewhat imposing manner. At such time, something was bound to happen. Just as the golden lights became dim, a few figures suddenly dropped from the sky above the Ascending Dragon Slope. As fast as ghosts, these few figures kept dropping down.
Lone concentrated his attention and immediately blocked them before the hill where Bao Bao was at solitary training.
“Stop there!”
When Lone looked at these four people, he secretly grumbled inwardly. Among these four people, the two weakest ones were at the same level as him, the Transformation Void Martial Stage.
One of them was at the Profound Void Martial Stage. With one look, the last one was clearly the leader of this little circle. He was indeed, at the Perfect Void Martial Stage!
When they saw the transformed image of Lone, a forthright guy standing on top of the slope, a guy with short build among the four of them asked with curiosity, “Young Master Hong, who is this blockhead?”
If it were during usual times and someone had called Lone such a name, he would have already split them into two halves. For your information, Lone was not someone easy to deal with. He was widely known as a ferocious and war hungry character.
Lone did not act on impulse this time. He knew that now was not the time to be impetuous. Not to mention how he was not the opponent of these four people, even if he could deal with these four, he could not create a major disturbance to influence Bao Bao’s breakthrough process.
The young leader revealed some coldness through his brows. He sized up Lone while asking, “Who are you? Don’t you know that not anyone could enter this Ascending Dragon Slope?”
Upon seeing the powerful strength and the imposing grandeur of this person, Lone knew the other three would listen to all of his commands. At the moment, he also lacked confidence. Yet, he still opposed each other with equal harshness. “Even though not anyone can come, it does not mean we cannot be here! Are you a disciple of the Qin Clan? If you are, please don’t disturb my friend’s breakthrough.”
Breakthrough?
Those four frowned and looked around. They could not but help to feel somewhat frustrated. “You guys seemed to have chose the wrong place?”
“Chose the wrong place? Why would you say that?” Lone was also somewhat confused. He felt this was a good place. Why would they say they had chose the wrong place?
However, when he saw that these four did not seem to show much understanding through their general features, he secretly prepared himself to be more on guard.
