Chapter 160: Hesitation of Liu Jianli
After settling matters with the Manager Peng, Qin Feng left the main hall. Hearing the questioning tone of the Second Mother behind him towards his father, he felt extremely comfortable.
A smile played on his face.
Arriving at the Qin residence’s lakeside pavilion, he could see from a distance two graceful figures, one in blue and the other in white, standing on the water.
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow; this seemed to be the practice of controlling Qi.
Once a martial artist reached the sixth rank of the Divine Martial realm, they could gather Qi, concentrating it on a point to unleash astonishing power.
However, this was just the threshold for entering the sixth rank.
Truly formidable martial artists, at the sixth rank, should be able to control his Qi freely.
Gather Qi for a powerful strike, shattering rocks with force.
Withdraw Qi, light as a feather, leaving no trace on the snow.
In theory, his younger brother should also be learning to control his Qi.
However, in the days before Senior Zhen Tianyi left, the most important thing for him it grasp the essence of Dao Of Blade.
Qin Feng watched quietly as the two practiced. Suddenly, he noticed a detail.
Although Lan Ningshuang seemed stable standing on the water, careful observation revealed occasional ripples under her feet.
This indicated that she had not yet reached a level of complete control over her Qi.
“If she were to face some external stimulus right now, she might very well fall into the water,” Qin Feng thought, rubbing his chin.
On the other hand, Liu Jianli seemed to be floating in the air rather than standing on the water.
Her feet were clearly an inch above the water’s surface!
Liu Jianli’s talent was exceptional, and her control over her Qi had reached a state of perfection. For her, this level of proficiency was as easy as drinking water.
Just as Qin Feng was thinking this, he saw the beautiful woman suddenly frown sightly.
Her black hair fluttered, and her white dress billowed. Qi surged from her body, stirring up a strong wind that created huge waves on the lake in an instant.
This sudden scene surprised Qin Feng greatly.
Then came a cry.
Splash!
Lan Ningshuang’s Qi dispersed under her feet, and she fell into the water.
Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, revealing an expression that said, “As expected!” just like his earlier speculation.
“Huh? Now doesn’t seem to be the time to think about these things.”
With a light tap of her toe, Liu Jianli, in her white attire, leaped high into the air. With a wave of her right hand, Lan Ningshuang, who had fallen into the water, was lifted out and landed in the lakeside pavilion.
Qin Feng hurriedly took out a towel from his storage ring and approached, expressing concern, “How are you?”
“I’m fine, Young Master.” Lan Ningshuang shook her head, took the towel, and began to wipe away the water on her body.
At this moment, her clothes were completely soaked.
Although it was winter, the martial artist’s body was vigorous, far more adaptable to extreme temperatures than ordinary people.
So Lan Ningshuang still wore only a blue long dress without adding any other clothing underneath.
The tight-fitting dress revealed her smooth and fair skin.
And the white chest wrap, containing the dreams and wicked desires of many men, slowly became visible.
Adding a touch of peculiar temptation.
Qin Feng thought of the bright moon that night again. He coughed, averted his gaze, and moved away from the scene.
Lan Ningshuang also noticed that her current appearance was a bit inappropriate, and her face immediately turned crimson.
“Miss, Young Master, I’ll go change my clothes.” Her voice was as light as a mosquito. After leaving these words, she hurriedly left as if running away.
A powerful martial artist can use internal force to disperse the moisture around them, but Lan Ningshuang obviously couldn’t do that yet.
In the pavilion, only Qin Feng and Liu Jianli were left.
I didn’t look at her much just now, so she probably didn’t notice, Qin Feng thought, stealing a glance at the beautiful woman in white beside him.
The latter’s brows remained furrowed.
This is bad!
Qin Feng immediately changed the topic, trying to distract her attention. “Guiding internal force by standing on the water’s surface, indeed, can quickly improve a martial artist’s control over internal force. This method is good; I’ll have my younger brother try it later. How did you come up with it?”
Liu Jianli seemed to be in a daze, and after a moment, she reacted. She turned her head and replied, “This is the method taught by my Master. First, stand on the water’s surface without causing ripples. Then, rise one inch above the water, standing in mid-air. Only when you can stand in mid-air as easily as walking will you be close to the realm of the fifth-grade martial artist, the Divine Movement Realm.”
Qin Feng pondered, “Were you intentionally releasing pressure just now? To help Miss Ningshuang quickly control her internal force?”
Liu Jianli shook her head at the question, not answering it. Instead, she asked, “What is your current cultivation level?”
Qin Feng was taken aback, then answered truthfully, “Recently, my cultivation has increased quite a bit. Given the current situation, I should be able to reach the eighth-grade Bright Heart Realm soon.”
“And the seventh-grade?” she asked with a soft voice. Liu Jianli blushed, but quickly regained her composure.
Qin Feng scratched his cheek, looking a bit embarrassed. “The seventh-grade is the Righteous Qi Realm. Unlike the ninth and eighth grades, it doesn’t require much accumulation of Literature Qi but needs to refine the Literature Qi within the body into Righteous Qi. Although I have obtained a treasure that can speed up the process of entering the seventh-grade Righteous Qi Realm, I haven’t started practicing yet, so I don’t know how long it will take.”
Liu Jianli nodded slightly, saying no more.
“I’ll wait for you at the main gate. When Miss Ningshuang comes back, just ask her to find me directly.”
“Okay.”
Qin Feng bid farewell and left.
Not long after he left, Lan Ningshuang returned to the pavilion in her changed clothes. “Miss, where’s the Young Master?”
“He’s waiting for you at the main gate,” Liu Jianli said softly. Just as she finished speaking, her brows furrowed again, and the internal force uncontrollably emanated from her body.
Lan Ningshuang covered her mouth. “I felt something strange on the lake just now. Miss, are you about to break through?”
Liu Jianli crossed her arms in front of her chest. After a moment, the scattered aura returned to calm.
In fact, she could have activated the confirmation of the domination of heaven and earth long ago, and started the tribulation to enter the third realm.
However, before she stepped into the realm of myriad gods, the heavenly tribulation she encountered was the ninefold thunder tribulation.
This time, upon entering the realm of myriad gods, the heavenly tribulation that is bound to descend will surely be even more dangerous! So, she is not confident that she can successfully overcome the tribulation.
Throughout history, countless people have died under the confirmation of the domination of heaven and earth.
Until the end, no one knows how the results will turn out. In the past, in her pursuit of a higher realm and the supreme path of the sword, even if the path ahead was a situation of life and death, she was fearless.
But this time, a trace of hesitation arose in her heart.
For someone with a clear sword heart like her, this is simply unimaginable.
With her powerful strength, she continuously suppressed the signs of breakthrough, thinking that she could keep going like this.
However, after the disaster of the invasion of Jinyang City, the signs of breakthrough became even more intense, to the point where they were vaguely uncontrollable!
Liu Jianli raised her head and looked at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
“Ningshaung.”
“What’s the matter, Miss?”
“Later, tell me more about Granny Liu from the Liu family and what she taught you.”
