In the Inner Realm, Qin Shi observed as Old He crafted a second personality.
"This 'Wild Brother' with a temper to fight anyone is just like Old Qi, nothing like my own suave and gentle demeanor."
Qin Shi couldn't help but grin, observing his own haughty and arrogant manner. It felt very peculiar, very odd.
It was like creating an account in a game to level up a secondary character, experiencing something entirely different.
"Let's see if this 'Qin Wuxiang' is really more formidable than I am."
Qin Shi squinted his eyes, comfortably staying in the Inner Realm, waiting for Qin Wuxiang to perform.
Boom!
With a disdainful gaze, seemingly unyielding to anyone, 'Qin Wuxiang' was thrust into the mental world evolved from "The Sole Path Through the Ages."
"Interesting."
This 'Qin Wuxiang' always held his head high, his arms crossed over his chest.
"A natural powerhouse like me is truly my only worthy opponent."
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say something like that?
Qin Shi silently griped, slightly unable to face Old Qi, once again shattering the halo of the first generation's top ten.
Thinking of the Star Cup Finals at the peak of the stars, where Old Qi and Old He were trash-talking each other, disapproving of each other.
"Who could have thought that the unparalleled genius destined to become a Martial God could have such a character."
Qin Shi shook his head, full of emotions.
Back then, secretly crouching in the video hall, relying on blurry images to watch the Star Cup matches, he never would have expected that one day, he would be taught alternately by two Martial God reserves.
The spiritual world evolved by "The Sole Path Through the Ages" was touched, flesh automatically splitting, congealing into a lively avatar.
Two blood-colored figures slowly stepped out of the doorway, their life force bursting forth intensely like massive fireballs, radiating scorching heat.
"Approximately both at the third energy level, one specializing in 'Warfare Strategy,' the other mastering 'Hundred Forms Refining Stance.'
Qin Shi assessed, if it were him, he might have to fight hard to win.
Unsure of "Qin Wuxiang's" performance?
"Such pure life force, such a perfect physique, such strong stats, yet unable to clear the stage quickly."
With a disdainful smile, Qin Wuxiang said coldly:
"With so much legacy at my disposal, it should be maximized! As long as I'm not killed, I will transform, evolve!"
Qin Wuxiang first activated "Warfare Strategy," recklessly mobilizing all his life force, striking the nodes, burning the foundation.
The originally perfectly balanced core was shattered, the indestructible platinum aura suddenly eroded, turning pitch black like ink.
"In all battles, the key to victory is destruction! As long as my attack is strong enough, as long as I kill the opponent before they hit me..."
Qin Wuxiang grinned, eyes disdainful, like a cold statue forged of steel.
Facing the two blood-colored figures approaching him, he slowly clenched his five fingers.
Pure, inexhaustible life force, like endless firewood, continuously fed into the furnace of the mortal body.
The domain unfolded!
Like a curtain as black as thick ink falling, covering the surroundings, assimilating them!
"No matter how strong the opponent, they're merely puppets split from 'myself'!
When it comes to spiritual will, they cannot compare to the original!"
As the black domain unfolded, Qin Wuxiang stepped forward, his life force roaring like a torrent, charging towards the two blood-colored figures.
Bang! Bang!
Two explosive sounds!
The blood-colored figures burst like ripe fruit being crushed, splattering drops of juice!
"Become my nourishment, let me go further on the path of evolution."
Qin Wuxiang, expressionless, opened his hands, the black domain under his will controlling and absorbing the two shattered blood-colored figures, integrating them into his body!
"So this is Old Qi's cultivation method, killing yourself in an extremely brutal way, refining everything with absolute self-will!"
Qin Shi pondered, no wonder Old He said he lacked an invincible mindset, making it difficult to learn "The Sole Path Through the Ages."
This path pioneered by Qi Wuxiang required not exceptional wisdom and unmatched talent.
But rather a madman's obsession and selfhood, and a terrifying determination to pursue evolution and strength.
"The Martial God's legacy is not precious; the Martial God seed is rare."
Qin Shi more deeply comprehended Old Chen's words.
Whether it's Qi Wuxiang, He Lanchan, Yan Haishan, or Ning Yuanhai.
These legends shining across the Galaxy and Star Sea, left their own paths.
But the later generations who could chase and replicate such legends are indeed few and far between.
"Every legendary path is inevitably crafted from all their efforts, burning through their spiritual will.
If it weren't for the Monument Panel absorbing He Lanchan's Martial Arts aura, the 'Void Meditation Technique' wouldn't be so easy to learn."
Sitting cross-legged in the Inner Realm, Qin Shi delved deeper into himself, beginning to contemplate his future path.
Once he surpassed the Specialized Level and advanced to the Celestial Gate Fourth Stage, he would need a path of his own.
Old He and Old Qi, these seniors, could only serve as guides.
Unless Qin Shi wanted to become a second Qi Wuxiang or a second He Lanchan.
"After Super Little He, now there's Super Little Qin.
Before breaking through the First Rank of the Specialized Level, I still have to thoroughly exploit Old Qi and Old He."
Qin Shi rested his chin in his hands, the spiritual world evolved from "The Sole Path Through the Ages" resonated highly with "Qin Wuxiang," absorbing the blood-colored figures.
Every time Qin Wuxiang approached the critical point of overexertion, the blood-colored figures became nourishment, pushing him forward.
"Truly the limit, like walking a tightrope."
Qin Shi silently studied, enriching his experience, occasionally comparing the two legends, Old Qi and Old He, in his thoughts.
Old Qi was born with a silver spoon, yet was rather wild, opening his eyes just to act. As long as there was an thirty or forty percent chance of evolving, he'd dare to charge ahead.
Old He, on the other hand, was well-versed in the art of concealment. He became a dominant force late in life, and only in middle age did he start to show his brilliance, akin to a black horse emerging halfway and almost overthrowing Qi Wuxiang, who had been invincible since youth.
"In the end, the reckless ones who are daring and combative have lived till now.
Those cautious planners, adept at developing slowly, have died young, early entering the state of nirvana."
Qin Shi sighed, feeling as though fate truly had a predetermined way.
Could it be that only after crossing the end of one's path and ascending to the throne of the gods, becoming a pillar of the Great Cosmos, can one transcend?
No longer be manipulated by so-called fate?
...
...
Outside the Huangquan Training Camp, the yellow dirt road leading to the inner-ring city was swirling with dust.
In the middle of the convoy, in a military jeep, a civilian-looking Commissioner Zhou said:
"What's going on with Fu Lei! Knowing full well the leader is inspecting, yet not arranging anyone to greet us?"
Yao Guodong waved his hand, indifferent:
"Hey, Old Zhou, we don't engage in formalism. This trip was on a whim. I want to see what the 'Soldier King' who broke through the Human-faced Spider's nest looks like."
Commissioner Zhou sighed in relief. Although Yao Guodong, as the highest administrative official of the White Poplar Barrier City, was famously unpretentious and liked to get deep into the frontline to understand the situation,
being long in the system, Commissioner Zhou still had some concerns about being picked on for not having details in place.
"Fu Lei is a stubborn man. Given his skills, he shouldn't be tucked away in the Huangquan Training Camp as a mere instructor."
Yao Guodong lamented, stating that too many people's blood and lives had been buried in border frontlines like Heng Province.
It is precisely because Dongxia was constantly charging forward that the current Galactic Civilization and strong races were formed.
"City Lord, what about young Qin and that person from the Tai'an Metropolitan Area..."
Commissioner Zhou suddenly asked.
"Unclear. The rear hasn't notified us, so there's no need for us to speculate further. Everything should be based on Central City to avoid causing trouble."
Yao Guodong squinted his eyes and spoke lightly.
Commissioner Zhou understood immediately, realizing the implied meaning.
Since Central City hadn't provided notifications, it meant they didn't want young Qin Scorching Sun's presence at the frontline to become public. White Poplar Barrier City definitely shouldn't oppose the Governor's Mansion.
"We've arrived."
Yao Guodong, still young and vigorous, maintained his past military style, putting on a coarse eight-point cap and was the first to jump out of the vehicle.
Even before the guard could speak, Commissioner Zhou handed over the credentials.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to the training camp in a long time. I used to go to the grassroots to guide new recruits..."
Yao Guodong reminisced fondly, eager, as Fu Lei and Song Xing arrived late when he reached the office building.
"Little Fu, your expression seems not very welcoming to me, huh? Why, you think I'm bringing you trouble?"
Yao Guodong laughed heartily, patting Fu Lei's shoulder, which was wrapped like a dumpling:
"I'm just passing by to see the promising seedlings; I won't interrupt your training. Where are they? Don't keep them hidden."
Commissioner Zhou echoed:
"Instructor Fu, young Qin made Huangquan Training Camp quite prominent. Quickly bring him over to meet the leader!"
Fu Lei winced in pain, exchanging a glance with Song Xing, who pretended not to see it.
The leader came over eagerly wanting to see the Soldier King. How could he explain that young Qin had become a vegetable?
That would be courting disaster!
"Ah, leader."
Fu Lei racked his brains, thinking of ways to evade the situation.
"That young Qin, he hasn't been back long from the polluted area, after several battles, and was ambushed midway by Esotericists. It was thrilling!
In terms of spirit or physical strength, he's spent a lot... why not wait until he recovers, then I'll have him meet you, leader?"
Yao Guodong frowned, showing displeasure:
"Little Fu, I remember you didn't deal with such flattery before, why the change now?
Is young Qin injured? If so, I have military doctors accompanying me, and they brought high-quality nutrition products."
The leader was well-prepared!
Fu Lei felt even more headache.
"Young Qin isn't injured; he's in good condition. He just exchanged for Black Medicine and Phantasmal Crystal, intensively developing his life force, preparing to break through to a higher rank."
Song Xing, helpless, also helped cover up.
They begged the top brass of the military hospital to come to Huangquan Training Camp.
"Young talents indeed. Back in my day, as soon as a task was done, I'd be fully immersed in cultivation..."
Yao Guodong nodded approvingly.
"In that case, let's not disturb him..."
Fu Lei and Song Xing let out a long sigh of relief, finally getting through this stage.
But just when they thought their racing hearts could settle, they heard Yao Guodong say:
"Old Zhou, let's not keep up appearances. Having come all this way, how can we not take a look at the top young Soldier King among the three training camps of White Poplar Barrier City!
Little Fu, lead the way!"
