Chapter 766: Chapter 769: The Power of Qi Chapter 766: Chapter 769: The Power of Qi “Give it a try!” the Ghost King laughed, “Try attacking it.”
Xiao Han took a deep breath, swung his fist, and smashed it ferociously toward the camphor tree.
Rustle…
The resilience of the camphor tree was significant. A fist sent the trunk nearly bending to the ground, yet it didn’t break, and instead sprang back, though many leaves did fall.
“Hehe…” the Ghost King chuckled, “Now, try channeling the Qi from inside your body into your right arm.”
“Okay!” Xiao Han nodded.
Under the guidance of the Ghost King, Xiao Han exerted an imnse amount of effort—comparable to that of the strength of two bulls—to channel a trace of Qi into his right arm.
Whoosh…
Xiao Han quickly threw out his fist again.
Boom…
A loud crash echoed as the camphor tree instantly snapped and collided with another tree behind it; both trees nearly broke at the sa ti, then fell to the ground.
“My God!”
Xiao Han was dumbfounded, his eyes wide and mouth agape. With the first punch, Xiao Han had used nearly his utmost strength, but the camphor tree barely showed a sign of cracking; it rely bent slightly. However, with the second punch, when he had intentionally held back so strength for comparison, both camphor trees unexpectedly broke, leaving Xiao Han utterly stunned.
“This is the power of Qi!” the Ghost King chuckled.
Gulp…
Xiao Han swallowed, asking, “How can I accumulate more Qi inside my body?”
“Cultivation!” The Ghost King looked at Xiao Han earnestly, then said, “Only through continuous cultivation can you accumulate more Qi within your body. Right now, you are just an entry-level cultivator, barely considered a cultivator, but I believe your future holds much more than this.”
“Okay!” Seeing the power of that punch, Xiao Han suddenly had a new understanding of the pursuit of strength. Moreover, this understanding seed to open a new door for Xiao Han. If he could elevate his strength to a new level, then… would his great plan of revenge still lack hope?
Xiao Han took a deep breath, then said, “I must beco stronger!”
The Ghost King chuckled, “There are many thods to beco stronger, so are shortcuts, and so are arduous paths!”
“There are shortcuts?” Xiao Han exclaid.
“Of course!” the Ghost King nodded, “You can make a trade with the master of the Ghost City.”
“How to trade?” Xiao Han asked.
“Sell your soul in exchange for powerful strength,” the Ghost King said seriously, “That’s the shortcut.”
“Oh.” Xiao Han shook his head, “That won’t work.”
“Then you must cultivate slowly.” the Ghost King spoke.
“Okay!” Xiao Han nodded, “I must enhance my cultivation through my own efforts.”
“I believe in you!” the Ghost King chuckled.
“But, I want more Yellow Talismans!” Xiao Han hurriedly said.
“I’ll help you get them!” the Ghost King grinned, “I have so old friends nearby. I’ll ask them, and they are likely not to refuse . So, just wait for .”
With that, the white cat swished its tail, quickly disappearing into the nearby greenery.
Watching the Ghost King leave, Xiao Han felt a sense of relief indoors.
He had managed to cultivate Qi in just one morning, which was indeed a surprise for Xiao Han. Although he was a descendant of a cultivator, his father was rely an alchemist. Therefore, his so-called genetic inheritance was basically non-existent. Reaching this level of cultivation already satisfied him plenty.
Upon returning to the dormitory, class was over.
“Xiao Han, you… you’re back?” Zhang Dagou looked at Xiao Han in surprise.
Just having co from class, the three friends had no appetite and were still figuring out how to save Xiao Han, feeling downhearted at the ti, when suddenly, Xiao Han himself returned, which greatly shocked them. Xiao Han asked with a smile, “Why aren’t you guys going to eat?”
“Damn, you were taken away by the police, how could I eat?” The three of them spoke almost simultaneously.
“Haha, co on, it’s on !” Xiao Han waved.
“Damn it, we must eat up big today!” Li Bin cursed loudly.
“Right!” Zhang Dagou nodded, “I’m going to eat heavily indeed.”
The three of them were very angry, having completely forgotten to ask Xiao Han how he had escaped from police custody.
……
At night, the lights were just coming on.
Xiao Han and Lan Yudie were walking on the campus when suddenly, a white cat blocked their path.
“Is it you?” Xiao Han exclaid.
ow…
The cat let out a lazy sound.
“Wow, what a cute kitty!” Lan Yudie exclaid as she hurriedly cradled the cat in her arms. The white cat rubbed against Lan Yudie’s chest and then looked at Xiao Han with a smug expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Han’s face darkened. He quickly snatched the cat from Lan Yudie’s arms and threw it to the ground, saying, “Get lost, or I’ll kick you to death!”
ow…
The Ghost King let out a protesting roar, but eventually disappeared into the Green Lake Belt.
Seeing it leave, Xiao Han finally sighed in relief.
“What are you doing!” Lan Yudie fud. “Why are you so angry at a cat?”
Won are naturally fond of such furry animals. Yet, Xiao Han had just casually thrown the cat away, which naturally infuriated Lan Yudie. Xiao Han helplessly said, “Didn’t you see the cat rubbing against your chest just now?”
“You… you’re actually jealous of a cat?” Lan Yudie was dumbfounded.
“No… no!” Xiao Han awkwardly explained. “I’m not jealous, I… I an, that cat is a stray cat. What if it transmits a virus to you, then… then what would we do?”
Upon hearing this, Lan Yudie imdiately relaxed. “Where would such bad luck co from?”
“You never know!” Xiao Han hastily said. “Don’t touch these stray cats and dogs in the future. They have many germs on them. Better to be safe than sorry, and it would be troubleso if you caught sothing.”
“Yes, yes, I won’t touch them anymore,” Lan Yudie said.
Xiao Han smiled slightly, then said, “Be good.”
“Hmm!” Lan Yudie nodded slightly, then leaned against Xiao Han’s shoulder like a little bird.
In the academy’s shaded path, they playfully kissed, and Xiao Han pinched her perky buttocks. Satisfied, Xiao Han happily returned to the dormitory.
In the dormitory, Liu Bin was playing gas, Zhang Feng was reading, and Zhang Dagou was reading online novels; each busied themselves with their tasks.
Xiao Han returned to the dormitory, but the three of them didn’t notice.
ow…
At that mont, a cat’s ow ca from outside the window.
Xiao Han imdiately knew it was the Ghost King returning. He had just reached the dormitory when he imdiately turned around and walked back out. Outside, the little cat imdiately jumped onto Xiao Han’s shoulder and whispered in his ear, “You just got jealous!”
“You keep away from her in the future,” Xiao Han warned.
“Haha…” The Ghost King laughed. “This king has three thousand beauties in his harem. That woman is not pretty, next ti you co to my domain, I’ll show you my won.”
“Show off…” Xiao Han retorted irritably.
“I brought you sothing nice,” the Ghost King chuckled.
Reaching a small grove, which was deserted,
The Ghost King flipped his cat’s paw, and a rectangular box appeared in front of Xiao Han. Xiao Han eagerly opened the box, which quietly lay filled with Red Talismans and several Gold Talismans.
“Wow!” Xiao Han’s eyes widened.
He had never cared much for these things before, but after visiting the Ghost Market, he ca to appreciate the value of the Red Talisman and the priceless nature of the Gold Talismans. If the Yellow-robed Taoist saw them, he might drop his eyeballs, and might even try to snatch them from him; murder and robbery weren’t out of the question.
“These things need to be well kept,” the Ghost King cautioned. “I’ve gone to great lengths to get them. Don’t waste my goodwill!”
“Yeah!” Xiao Han nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, I need to go back to the Soul Bead to rest,” the Ghost King said.
Whoosh…
A flash of white light passed, and the Ghost King imdiately disappeared into Xiao Han’s chest. The Soul Bead was always carried close to Xiao Han’s body; he even dared not keep it in the Qiankun Bag, fearing it might be stolen. Only by keeping it close was Xiao Han reassured.
Looking at the stack of Red Talismans and the three Gold Talismans, Xiao Han was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth.
With these things, he would no longer worry about his cultivation. A re Yellow Talisman could bring him such great benefits, so… what about a Red Talisman? Xiao Han looked around, originally planning to use a Red Talisman for cultivating here.
Um… ah… oh…
Suddenly, gasping sounds ca from the small grove.
Xiao Han furrowed his brow. Unexpectedly, there was a couple making love in this little grove. Xiao Han’s eyes, more sensitive than ordinary people’s, scanned around and imdiately pinpointed the couple’s location. They were under a tree at two o’clock to Xiao Han’s right.
“Damn it, what bad luck!” Xiao Han spat, imdiately leaving.
A perfectly good place had been taken up by these wild lovebirds. Xiao Han had no choice but to leave the grove and then turned to head elsewhere. After looking for a long ti, he couldn’t find a suitable place.
Suddenly, Xiao Han longed for a quiet place to cultivate.
Unfortunately, living in the dormitory wasn’t conducive to cultivating. If he rashly moved out, he didn’t know what the other three in the dormitory would think of him. Thus, Xiao Han decided to find a suitable place. Ideally, it would be quiet and secluded, free of disturbances and wouldn’t disturb others either.
Xiao Han drove around the suburbs for a while, but couldn’t find a suitable place.
He was very frustrated and ultimately had no choice but to drive back to school. The morning’s cultivation had been risky; if soone had encountered him in the middle, it would have been trouble. Xiao Han seed very dejected. Such a large area, yet he couldn’t find a proper place to cultivate. This greatly troubled Xiao Han. Helpless, he had to return to the dormitory.
