CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: I WANT TO BE THE DRAGON KING’S SON-IN-LAW

Three weeks later, as the Sword Fighting Competition approached, Ye Qingzhou’s first Martial Dao tutoring session also drew to a close.

Thanks to the "sponsorship" from Xu Yuebing and Leon, Ye Qingzhou, who had purchased a large number of rare treasures, saw a significant boost in power. The Fire, Mountain, Forest, Yin, and Thunder Techniques of the "Six Military Techniques" were mastered one by one.

Moreover, the Wind Force, which was his initial major focus, had reached the realm of Perfection, perfectly solving the problem of needing to gather strength for the Sword Qi Slash.

This meant that although Ye Qingzhou had not yet become an official Professional Martial Artist, he possessed Professional Level combat strength.

With the sword unsheathed, the wind rose, and the techniques moved at will. At this moment, Ye Qingzhou could manipulate the airflow within a ten-meter radius with just a thought.

In the backyard of the villa, Ye Qingzhou wielded the Famous Sword Flying Frost, practicing swordsmanship on the Plum Blossom Stance.

His movements were agile, his sword techniques sometimes light and graceful like flowing wind, sometimes swift and fierce like blazing fire, sometimes solid and strong like a tall mountain, sometimes orderly and structured like a forest, sometimes obscure and unfathomable like dark Yin, sometimes tempestuous and violent like thundering lightning.

The essence of the Six Techniques had been completely analyzed and mastered by him. Now, he could perform them with effortless transitions, moving from one technique to another like clouds and flowing water, without hindrance or obstruction, achieving the pinnacle of fluidity.

Xu Yuebing and Leon were dumbfounded, showing expressions of disbelief.

"Ye Qingzhou, you’ve mastered all the ’Six Military Techniques’ in just three short weeks?"

"Master Ye is truly a peerless genius! I, Leon, am convinced!"

Once Ye Qingzhou had fully absorbed the Primordial Qi within him, he sheathed his sword, satisfied as he examined his body: "It seems that the higher the skill level, the more efficient the physical enhancement, and now my reaction speed, muscle strength, bone density, and transmission of power have all been comprehensively optimized. Even my control over Inner Breath has seen a tremendous improvement."

Casually swinging a sword, without the need to gather strength, the Dragon-Shaped Sword Qi manifested instantly, and where it reached, posts as thick as a bowl could be cut cleanly, already possessing practical combat value.

"Sword Qi Slash!"

Leon instinctively felt a chill down his spine, clearly reminded of a not-so-pleasant memory from the past.

Xu Yuebing walked up to Ye Qingzhou with a complex gaze. For the first time, she sensed a seemingly insurmountable gap in talents and aptitudes between herself and Ye Qingzhou: "How did you achieve this?"

"Achieve what?"

"Mastering all Six Techniques."

"Actually, my Wind Force isn’t Mastery; it’s Perfection."

"..."

Xu Yuebing suddenly didn’t feel like talking!

In fact, she didn’t know that one technique reaching Perfection and five techniques reaching Mastery weren’t even Ye Qingzhou’s limits, but rather the limits of Ye Qingzhou’s wallet.

If it weren’t for spending the entire 750,000 tuition he earned from her and Leon, with Ye Qingzhou’s aptitude, understanding, and insight, so-called bottlenecks in cultivation simply did not exist.

"It’s a pity, I still can’t get the Bone Forging Secret Technique."

Ye Qingzhou was apparently still preoccupied with this matter.

Seeing him cast his gaze towards her again, Xu Yuebing guessed what he was thinking and gave him an annoyed and disdainful look: "Don’t even think about it, our Xu Family’s Ice Skin Jade Bone is only suitable for women."

Well, the path of being a son-in-law to the Dragon King is completely unfeasible.

"Is there no other way to obtain the Bone Forging Secret Technique?"

Ye Qingzhou humbly inquired.

Xu Yuebing thought for a moment and decided to tell him the truth: "The Bone Forging Secret Techniques of Martial Arts Schools and Martial Arts Families all originate from the relic explorations within the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm. They are incredibly precious and strictly controlled. You can’t get them through normal channels. Even if someone is willing to sell them, believe me, you absolutely cannot afford it."

"Obtained from the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm?"

Ye Qingzhou stroked his chin, becoming more and more intrigued by the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm.

But the exploration missions in the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm aren’t available to just anyone. At the very least, one must possess the strength of a Professional Martial Artist. Without it, survival would be difficult once inside, let alone treasure hunting. If anything, it would be courting death.

......

After school, at the gate of First High School.

"Where’s Leon?"

"He said there’s something going on at home, so he won’t be joining the special training."

"What are we practicing today?"

"Before the competition, I’ll help you elevate your Wind Force to the Mastery Realm."

"Really?"

Xu Yuebing’s delicate face lit up with joy, her bright eyes sparkling. Clearly, Ye Qingzhou’s words resonated with her heart.

Reaching the Mastery Realm in any Basic Stance before the age of 18 is the hallmark of Genius Level, something Xu Yuebing ardently aspires to achieve.

If she just followed the regular path, she would certainly reach Genius Level within a year and shouldn’t be too hasty.

However, in reality, time is of the essence on the path of Martial Dao. The faster Xu Yuebing masters the Wind Force, the greater her potential for future development. Hence, Ye Qingzhou’s proposal was highly appealing to her.

"What should I do?"

"Just obediently follow my instructions."

Ye Qingzhou began earnestly guiding Xu Yuebing: "Starting today, I want you to incorporate the techniques of Wind Force into all your actions..."

Following that, Ye Qingzhou took Xu Yuebing to the park and started jogging along the road.

Slap~

"Ah~"

"You got the rhythm of your breathing wrong, you shall be punished!"

Slap~

"Ah~"

"You got the distance of your steps wrong, you shall be punished!"

Slap~

"Ah~"

"How dare you glare at me, you shall be punished!"

Along the way, Ye Qingzhou would occasionally take out a small bamboo stick and forcefully slap Xu Yuebing on her peach-like rear, producing loud snapping sounds, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Xu Yuebing felt extremely aggrieved at heart and took a mental note, secretly vowing: Ye Qingzhou, just you wait, one day I’ll make you...

Slap~

"Ah~"

Before Xu Yuebing could decide how to handle Ye Qingzhou, her train of thought was interrupted by the swinging bamboo stick.

Little did they know, a deadly danger was silently approaching them.

......

In the Lingyun Grotto Heaven, the Secret Realm Teleportation Array flashed with brilliance, and two figures dashed out. With masks on their faces, they acted furtively and were clearly up to no good.

"Head towards the city area. Once there, blend into the crowd, and the Martial Arts Association’s enforcement team won’t dare to make a move!"

"All right!"

As soon as they finished speaking, an overwhelming brilliance of moonlight descended from above. The biting sword light brought with it a sudden drop in temperature, making one’s breath turn to frost, chilling to the bone.

"Invisible Sword Qi, Moonlight on the Cold River! Damn, it’s that bitch Xu Yunxi chasing us!"

"Blood Crow, you take the stuff and go. I’ll stay behind to hold them off."

"Take care."

Upon hearing this, Blood Crow didn’t hesitate. He immediately turned and headed straight for the city, thinking that once he got into the city, he could blend into the crowded areas, where someone from their organization would come to aid his escape.

Ignoring his injuries, he swiftly ran along the road, nearing the city more and more, and soon encountered two figures: one male and one female, Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing, who were in the midst of training.

"Bad luck for you to encounter me,"

Blood Crow revealed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth. To avoid exposing his whereabouts, he evidently planned to silence them.
