Dragon Emperor, Martial God

“Young Master is not someone who would enjoy an easy life. His martial arts are mysterious and powerful, but I see him practicing hard every day! He progresses by leaps and bounds!

“He is the kind who will turn any adversity into strength!

“If you want him to return home only to be a bird in a cage, a flower in a greenhouse, you couldn’t be more wrong! Young Master will not settle for such mediocre arrangements for his life!

“Therefore, please let me go to Qingshui City and bring him home! I believe that the weaker we are and the more enemies we have, will only inspire Young Master’s fighting spirit! That could force his potential out, and he will grow up faster and stronger! The Ling Family will become powerful when he is powerful!”

Cui Lao had a very accurate assessment!

Every word from Cui Lao pounded on Ling Lie’s heart like a huge hammer, resounding throughout his whole being!

Ling Lie rubbed his head desperately, almost causing all his silver hair to fall off his head. It was such a tough decision to make!

The Ling Family’s fate, Ling Yun’s life, it all depended on one decision by Ling Lie. Ling Lie had to go over it carefully!

“Cui Lao, you know that this concerns the Ling Family’s fate, even our lineage. Can you guarantee Ling Yun’s safety?”

“Master, Young Master’s strength has surpassed both you and me. He has never put his safety and fate into anyone else’s hands!” Cui Lao smiled.

“This kid…” Ling Lie uttered as he paced around the room, carrying his hands behind him.

“But I’m really worried!” Ling Lie stopped suddenly and frowned.

It seemed like the only one with some form of talent was this illegitimate child drifting outside. Ling Lie really didn’t want Ling Yun to take the risk and be involved in this choppy family struggle.

Cui Lao continued to push him with a smile. “Master, have you forgotten, Ling Yun doesn’t only have the Ling Family’s family protection. He still has the Qin Family behind him…”

Cui Lao gave Ling Lie comfort.

“Moreover, Miracle Doctor Xue’s grandchild is Young Master’s girlfriend now!”

“Si…” Ling Lie sucked in a breath of cold air. He had forgotten in all the chaos that Ling Yun was still the adopted son of Qin Qiuyue!

Ling Lie stood still and pondered for half an hour. His eyes gleamed, and he slapped his thighs. “Alright! I’ll listen to you! Let’s fight on this time!”

“What do you need to prepare? I will personally help you with it!”

“I do need quite a number of things…” Cui Lao smiled upon seeing reignited hope in the eyes of Master Ling!

A man can have nothing, but he cannot be without hope! He could lose everything but strength!

“When are you leaving?” Ling Lie was very fast once he decided.

“As soon as possible. I have to reach Qingshui by noon tomorrow!”

“Alright. Do you need anything else? I’ll do my best to support you!” Ling Lie went all out!

“Only for Master to keep this confidential!” Cui Lao smiled.

Ling Lie’s sullen face finally broke into a smile. “That’s definite!”

…

Midnight, Qingshui Wharf, more than thirty kilometers northeast of Qingshui City.

Tie Xiaohu was brought here after Ling Yun’s careful guidance on how the energy center, meridians, and spiritual energy worked.

“The sea over there is akin to the energy center of a human. The Qingshui River is like the meridians, and this Qingshui Wharf is the connection between the energy center and the meridians.” Ling Yun pointed at the riverbank and explained patiently.

“Listen, the tide is coming!”

One could hear the tide before seeing it.

A loud bang rang through while the surface was still calm. It grew louder to the point of deafening.

Qingshui City was famous for its huge tides.

Tie Xiaohu’s Raging Waves Internal Skill was very much like this tide. Ling Yun wanted Tie Xiaohu to fully understand this, which was why he brought him here.

The lack of artificial light was no problem for either of them. Tie Xiaohu’s five senses had been heightened after he broke through the fourth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. He could see clearly just with the moonlight.

A white line appeared on the misty river surface and moved westwards. Upon closer inspection, the white line became a water dam, gradually rising. It was rushing with the power of the horses and was unstoppable!

Tie Xiaohu was born and raised in Qingshui City. He had seen all kinds of waves since he was of a young age.

However, the waves seemed to be different after he learned the Raging Waves Internal Skill!

Ling Yun let the first tide pass quietly. “So? Did you learn anything?” Ling Yun turned towards Tie Xiaohu and smiled.

“I think I understand now!” Tie Xiaohu replied excitedly.

Ling Yun nodded his head approvingly. “Try activating your Raging Waves Internal Skill now…”

Tie Xiaohu sat cross-legged without any hesitation. He closed his eyes slightly with the image of the waves in his mind and concentrated on activating his Raging Waves Internal Skill.

This time, he felt a faint stream of current flowing in his lower abdomen below his energy center.

Tie Xiaohu was overjoyed. He activated his Raging Waves Internal Skill excitedly and channeled it all through his meridians.

It was a pity that he lost the feeling after only one round.

“I failed…” Tie Xiaohu opened his eyes with frustration.

Ling Yun had the opposite reaction. “No, you didn’t fail. You have attained the fourth minor realm in the Stellar Condensation Technique. Your energy center is many times bigger than normal people, and your meridians have grown thick. You don’t have enough spiritual energy, which is why you have yet to feel the impact on your meridians.”

“And you’ve forgotten the most important thing, the continuity of your spiritual energy. You only guided the first trace of spiritual energy but didn’t force the newly produced spiritual energy into your meridians. Without it, it’s impossible to create a never-ending loop of spiritual energy to course through your body!

“Nonetheless, I didn’t waste two hours guiding you tonight. You managed to create spiritual energy on the first day. It’s something to be proud of!

“Get in the car, the second wave has just gone by, let’s chase it!”

The Land Rover flew along the Qingshui River at 120 miles per hour. It caught up with the second wave in no time and then caught up to the first wave they saw.

“Drive carefully and chase this wave!”

Ling Yun opened the car door and flew out of the car. The tips of his toes touched the ground briefly, and his arms opened like a bird as he jumped more than a hundred meters into the sky. He then landed on top of the waves!

“F*ck! That’s so cool! Big Brother Yun…” Tie Xiaohu was absolutely stunned!

Ling Yun was standing on the waves without a surfboard! Ling Yun’s figure followed the wax and wane of the waves all the way to the west!

Ling Yun’s body became extremely light with the activation of his Yin-Yang harmony balance and the Yin-Yang Qi. Every water droplet became a resting point for his foot. He borrowed strength from there and utilized the True Qi in his body. It was impossible for him to fall into the water.

This was the current limitation of Ling Yun’s Qinggong. He activated it because he was extremely happy and to broaden Tie Xiaohu’s horizons.

“Incredible, he is even better than the gods in legends…”

Tie Xiaohu enjoyed it so much that he almost forgot to drive.

After two kilometers, another dam appeared on the horizon, forming a spectacular retreat.

The wave deflected back after it hit an obstacle and instantly became a “snow mountain” as it roared back eastwards!

Ling Yun wasn’t afraid in the face of this magnificent force of nature. He breathed in, stepped on the ripples of the wave, and punched both his fists!

The Tiangang Demon Fist!

One yin and one yang, one hot and one cold. Qi of both types shot out at the same time and landed on the wave loudly!

“Bambam!”

The sound was far louder than when they were near the shore. Even Tie Xiaohu could hear it very well from the car!

He could see everything!

“F*ck, Boss is so brave!”

Tie Xiaohu stepped on the brakes and couldn’t tear his eyes from the sight!

Ling Yun activated the Stellar Condensation Technique, Yin-Yang harmony balance, and Tiangang Demon Fist to their maximum!

The Yin and Yang True Qi formed two curved, transparent walls, which the waves slammed into. The waves that hit the yang wall evaporated immediately, while the waves that hit the yin wall became a wall of ice!

The wall of ice was instantly shattered by Ling Yun! White spray was everywhere!

“Whoosh!”

Ling Yun’s body came to land in the distance with a smug smile. The corners of his mouth lifted up, sending charming trembles to his left dimple.

“At the peak of Physique Tempering Stage Seven, True Qi can be materialized outside the body and used against the enemy. This is the true form of the Tiangang Demon Fist!”
