(First Update to Celebrate My Birthday)
"You're in the Force Training Realm, yet you're following a junior in the Qi and Blood Realm. Aren't you demeaning yourself?"
On the road from Martial Wind City to Small Lake Town, within a small forest, Elder Wei stopped a person wearing a grey martial attire and a black mask. His tone was solemn and dignified without being angry.
"Get out of my way, or I'll kill you too." The masked man purposely lowered his voice, making it a little hoarse.
"Try me then." As soon as Elder Wei finished his sentence, he leaped forward like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain. His hand formed into a tiger's claw, shattering the air in front of him. A vacuum wave blasted towards the masked man, producing a whistling sound like the crashing waves.
"You're courting death, I'll grant you your wish." The masked man took a step forward, crossing a distance of more than ten meters. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed the air violently, creating a hole that was extremely sharp.
With a bang, a terrifying shockwave rippled out, and the ground was split open. Dust and sand flew everywhere, and a small tree nearby was directly broken.
Both of them were in the Force Training Realm, and their strength was many times stronger than those in the Qi and Blood Realm. The scene of them fighting was even more intense.
Elder Wei was still stronger after all. He continuously attacked, using the Chen Family's Tyrannical Tiger Force. Every punch and every claw was like the roar of a ferocious tiger, gradually gaining the upper hand.
With a bang, Elder Wei's Splitting Tiger Claw hit the masked man's chest. The terrifying Tyrannical Tiger Force directly entered the masked man's body, causing destruction. As the masked man retreated, he spat out a mouthful of blood, drenching his mask. He had already suffered internal injuries from that attack.
Not only was he not a match, but he also suffered internal injuries. The masked man had no choice but to retreat. He recklessly released his Inner Force, relying on his outstanding Qinggong, and fled towards the direction of the mountain.
After Elder Wei chased for a distance, he could only watch as the masked man left. He had no choice, speed was not his forte.
"Who is this guy? What's his background? Why is he following Chen Zong? Judging from his purpose, he must be up to no good. "Elder Wei frowned and looked worried.
This time, Chen Zong was returning to Xiaohu Town. Elder Wei didn't know what was going on, but he was worried that Chen Zong would be intercepted by the Drizzle Gang, so he secretly followed him. He didn't expect to meet a Qi Refining Realm expert who was following Chen Zong closely. He was glad that he followed him, or else Chen Zong would be in danger.
Fortunately, this Qi Refining Realm expert had taken his Rending Tiger Claw head-on, so his internal injuries were definitely not light. Furthermore, he had also used his Inner Force to escape, so it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time.
Anxious to return home, Chen Zong did not know that he had just walked through the gates of hell.
After entering Little Lake Town, he headed straight for the Chen Clan.
"That person looks very familiar."
"Isn't that Chen Zong?"
"Chen Zong? That Chen Zong who was accepted by the Seven Lights Martial Institution?"
After recognizing Chen Zong, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Soon, Chen Zong stopped in front of the door. Naturally, he was excited to meet his father. His aunt and Yang Lie were also there, and they were very happy.
His aunt looked younger, but that was because of her mentality. Here, there was not much pressure, and the days were smooth and prosperous. Naturally, she was relaxed, and her mental appearance was better.
His father, Chen Zhengtang, also looked to be in a good mental state. However, due to the decline of his Qi and blood, there was more white hair, and his face was paler.
Yang Lie was born with superhuman strength. With the Energy Pill left behind by Chen Zong and his own talent, his cultivation had stepped into the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. His arm strength was even more frightening, and it could reach one thousand and five hundred kilograms. He completely surpassed many martial artists. Of course, this did not include the increase of his Qi and blood.
Chen Zong estimated that Yang Lie's physical strength would have an obvious increase once he reached the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm. He could definitely exceed one thousand kilograms.
Since he had returned, Chen Zong did not plan to leave immediately. He wanted to wait until his father had completely absorbed the Seven Leaf Blood Lotus.
At noon on the second day after his return, Chen Zhengtang began to consume the Seven Leaf Blood Lotus.
After chewing and swallowing a lotus leaf, Chen Zhengtang's skin quickly turned red and steamed. He hurriedly circulated the Fierce Tiger Skill to digest the medicinal effects.
After two hours, most of the medicinal effects of the lotus leaf had been absorbed. A portion of it was still hidden in his body, and he could only slowly digest it in the future.
"Good." Chen Zhengtang revealed an excited expression. He felt the declining Qi and blood in his body gradually become vigorous. A long-lost strength began to flow in his body. He clenched his fists, punched, and kicked.
Chen Zong could clearly feel the excitement in Chen Zhengtang's heart.
It had been many years. His body had gradually weakened, but Chen Zhengtang's heart had never weakened. Now, it was finally going to recover.
Every day, other than reuniting with his family, Chen Zong would go to the lake to practice his sword.
On the third and fourth day …
Chen Zhengtang's complexion became better and better, and his Qi and blood became more vigorous. He no longer looked as weak as before.
On the eighth day, the last lotus leaf was consumed by Chen Zhengtang. There seemed to be an astonishing roar of a tiger coming from Chen Zhengtang's body, one roar after another, continuous and unending. The power of his blood and Qi was like a ferocious tiger rushing down the mountain.
Chen Zhengtang felt as if his body was on fire. His Qi and blood were boiling, and his skin was completely red. The tyrannical power filled his body, and he couldn't help but let out a loud roar. The roar shook the roof, and the dust rustled down and spread far and wide.
"Father is finally going to recover." Chen Zong's face was filled with joy. The seven leaves of the Seven Leaf Blood Lotus contained a shocking amount of power. He had to consume all of them in order to completely heal his injuries and restore his declining Qi and blood.
Not only did he have to recover, but he also had to break through.
Chen Zong knew that his father's cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Qi and blood realm. He was once again the number one martial artist in the Chen Family of Small Lake Town.
"How can this be?!" Chen Hu Zhan and the others were attracted by the commotion. When they saw Chen Zhengtang's appearance, their expressions changed drastically, and they were extremely dissatisfied.
Seeing that his father had not only recovered, but his cultivation had also broken through to the eighth level of the Qi and blood realm, Chen Zong breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the nerves that had been secretly tense all this time had finally relaxed.
"From now on, I can wholeheartedly pursue my own cultivation path." As he muttered to himself, an indescribable feeling spread throughout his body. Countless inspirations emerged one after another. Chen Zong hurriedly stepped forward and quickly headed toward the small lake.
As he approached the small lake, Chen Zong's footsteps did not slow down at all. Instead, he sped up and took a step forward. His foot landed directly on the surface of the lake, and layers of ripples spread out. If someone were to see this, they would definitely be extremely shocked. This was because Chen Zong did not fall into the lake. Instead, he took a second step and created layers of ripples, followed by a third and fourth step.
Every step was separated by a distance of two meters. He stepped directly on the lake water and landed on the opposite shore. Only his shoes were soaked.
Chen Zong looked back and was instantly shocked. He had unknowingly stepped on the surface of the small lake that was dozens of meters long. It was unbelievable.
One had to know that humans had weight, especially when he was wearing heavy iron arm guards on both of his arms. They added up to a total of three hundred kilograms. Including his own weight, it was more than four hundred kilograms.
Although footwork and body movements could increase one's speed and lighten one's body, they needed something to support them. That was the ground, stone, or wood, or other hard objects. Otherwise, how could it withstand the impact of the force and allow the body movements to be executed as desired?
Things like grass, leaves, and water could withstand very little force. It was said that only martial artists at the Qi Refining realm could use their body movements and body movements to leverage the force. No martial artist at the Qi and blood realm had ever done it. However, Chen Zong had done it. Although it was very difficult and his feet and shoes were soaked, he still managed to do it.
"Let's do it again."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong once again grasped the state he was in earlier. He used his body movements and stepped on the water surface. He walked on the water surface and once again crossed the water surface and landed on the opposite shore.
He really did it. It was not an illusion or a dream.
"Good, good, good." Chen Zong was very excited.
Just now, when he saw that his father had recovered and made a breakthrough, he had fulfilled his wish, which was his biggest goal. His whole body relaxed, and his mind relaxed as well. The essence of the Wind Stepping Steps appeared unconsciously, and he entered the True Secret Realm.
The Wind Stepping Steps at the True Secret Realm was completely out of Chen Zong's expectations.
After repeated attempts, Chen Zong came to a conclusion. After the Wind Stepping Steps reached the True Secret Realm, it was equivalent to evolving into another body movement. It was completely different from the Wind Stepping Steps.
The Wind Walking Step would allow one to instantly burst out with the power of qi and blood, continuously taking steps. It was very useful whether it was for fighting or escaping. However, after reaching the True Secret realm, the Wind Walking Step would have another application. It would make one's body lighter, which would naturally increase one's speed as well. It would not consume too much qi and blood and stamina.
To put it simply, compared to his normal fast running, the Wind Stepping Steps would only consume more Qi and Blood power. It belonged to the kind of body movement that could allow him to travel for a longer time. However, it was better than other body movements because his body was light enough to walk on water.
He tried again and again until his Qi and Blood power was almost used up.
"After performing the Wind Stepping Steps at the True Secret Realm, my speed would be twice as fast as normal running. Not counting the recovery of the Blood Jade Essence, my stamina and Qi and Blood power would last for about an hour."
Originally, Chen Zong already had some of the essence of the Wind Stepping Steps when he was running. Within a certain period of time, his speed would be comparable to that of a horse. Now that it had doubled, he would be able to compete with the Red Flame Horse. It was just that his stamina was not as good. However, there was one advantage that the Red Flame Horse did not have, which was its lightness and the ability to walk on water.
"With the natural recovery of the Blood Jade Essence, my Qi and Blood power would last longer. The only thing I need to consider is my stamina. If I take energy pills in time, I would be able to run for two hours." Chen Zong thought to himself.
After deducting the rest time, the Red Flame Horse could easily run a thousand miles in a day. In two hours, it would be able to run three hundred miles.
"Since it originated from the Wind Stepping Steps and allows me to walk on water, I will call it Wind Stepping Water." Chen Zong gave a name to the True Secret Realm Wind Stepping Steps.
Although Chen Zong's Wind Stepping Steps had reached the True Secret Realm, it did not directly increase his power. However, it had greatly increased his survivability.
