#98 - Brother Changtian, you must be strong!
Chapter 98: Brother Changtian, You Must Be Strong!
Half an incense stick later.
A group of soldiers stood around the boundary stone in utter shock, their mouths gaping wide.
They glanced back and forth between the dagger still embedded in the stone and Wei Changtian, as if they were looking at a three-legged toad.
"Changtian..."
Liang Zhen occupied the most advantageous position, touched the blade of the dagger, and asked incredulously, "How on earth did you do that?"
"Uncle Liang, I don't know either..."
Wei Changtian was also dumbfounded at this moment.
He never expected that the Returning Dust Blade technique would be so awesome.
Damn it, if I had known this, I should have held back a little...
"Maybe... it's because I'm too gifted?"
"..."
Liang Zhen choked for a moment, not knowing how to respond. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the handle of the dagger and exerted force to pull it out.
No stone fragments fell. Judging from the overall length of the dagger, the depth of penetration into the stone was about two inches.
Luckily, luckily, it's not too exaggerated...
Wei Changtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Zhen glanced at him and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he took a deep breath and ordered the personal guards in a deep voice:
"Disperse, everyone! Do what you're supposed to do!"
"No one is allowed to talk about this, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"... Yes, General!"
A group of soldiers were slightly stunned, and then dispersed.
"Changtian..."
After everyone had walked away, Liang Zhen returned the dagger to Wei Changtian and said seriously, "It seems that the martial skill you practice is quite sharp, but it's not your father's Ghost Fiend Saber Technique... I wonder where you learned it from?"
"This..."
Wei Changtian didn't expect Liang Zhen to guess half of the reason instantly. After thinking for a while, he didn't hide anything.
"Uncle Liang, this saber technique is called 'Returning Dust'. I picked it randomly from the martial arts pavilion at home."
"So that's how it is. Your luck is indeed not bad..."
Liang Zhen nodded, glanced at Liang Qin who had a longing look on her face, and then said, "Ahem, Nephew... I have a request."
"A request..."
Wei Changtian paused and immediately understood, "Uncle Liang wants me to teach this saber technique to Qin'er?"
"Yes."
Liang Zhen scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, "I know this is a bit of a tall order, but..."
"It's okay. If Qin'er wants to learn, I'm naturally willing to teach her."
Wei Changtian interrupted with a smile, "Uncle Liang has taken such good care of me along the way. Of course, I won't refuse such a small matter."
"Hahaha, good!"
Liang Zhen laughed with satisfaction. Liang Qin's face also showed a look of surprise at this moment.
"Brother Changtian, are you really willing to teach me?"
"Of course."
"Then, then let's start now! There's still some time before lunch!"
"What?"
Wei Changtian was stunned, not expecting Liang Qin's desire to learn to be so strong.
"Dad! We're going over there! Call us when it's time for lunch!"
"Got it."
Liang Zhen watched the two disappear into the woods by the roadside, and became more and more satisfied with Wei Changtian.
This kid Changtian is really good now, both literate and martial, and decisive in his actions.
The key is that he is also affectionate and righteous.
He teaches such a powerful saber technique without hesitation.
He just doesn't know how to repay such a big favor.
Forget it, we're all family in the future, why think about these things...
Um... how many tables should be set up when the two of them get married? What kind of dowry should be prepared? The Wei family has been single-handed for generations. It would be great if my daughter could give Changtian a few more sons...
......
Liang Zhen had already begun to imagine the married life of Wei Changtian and Liang Qin, while the two of them were now "attending class" in a serious manner on an open space in the forest.
Any skill is not something that can be practiced right away. You must first understand the principles and some advantages and disadvantages of the skill.
Wei Changtian is now telling Liang Qin these things.
"...The most important thing about the Returning Dust Saber is the precision of force. The power when drawing the saber needs to be concentrated on one point..."
"...The advantage of this saber technique is that it does not rely too much on internal force. As long as it is practiced well, even a person with a low realm can exert great power..."
"The disadvantage is that it is difficult to practice. You must practice swinging the saber at least ten thousand times a day to make progress, and you must do so every day..."
"Brother Changtian."
Liang Qin suddenly asked suspiciously when she heard this, "Is this what you do too? Why haven't I seen you practice in the past half month?"
"This..."
Wei Changtian only paused for a moment, and immediately said "seriously", "I usually wait until you are asleep before I get up and practice alone, so of course you can't see me."
"Ah! So that's how it is..."
Liang Qin exclaimed softly, and a scene appeared in her mind.
Under the hazy moonlight, the night wind was blowing gently. Wei Changtian stood in the empty courtyard, swinging his saber over and over again. Although there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes were incomparably firm and tenacious...
"Brother Changtian..."
A sense of admiration and emotion suddenly surged in her heart, and she lowered her head slightly and said, "In the future... I'll be with you."
"What? Together?"
Wei Changtian almost blurted out "There's no need" when he heard this.
Although he didn't know why Liang Qin wanted to "cultivate together" with him, he would definitely not be idle enough to practice saber with her.
Isn't 'Dream Dao' wonderful?
A time flow rate of one to five, and you can sleep and practice without delaying anything.
Isn't it much better than practicing hard with one saber swing after another!
"Ahem, Qin'er..."
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian quickly refused, "I understand your kindness, but I usually practice saber alone."
"After I teach you all the moves of the Returning Dust Saber, we will still practice separately, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything."
"..."
Liang Qin suddenly raised her head, her expression a little puzzled and a little aggrieved, "Brother Changtian, do you, do you dislike me?"
"Where are you thinking! Didn't I say..."
Wei Changtian hurriedly persuaded, "I'm just used to cultivating alone."
"..."
Used to it, alone.
Liang Qin stared blankly at Wei Changtian, and recalled the dagger that was embedded in the boundary stone for two inches...
Even if this Returning Dust Saber technique is so powerful, Brother Changtian must have practiced it for a long, long time to reach such a level.
Everyone is saying that Brother Changtian is a good-for-nothing playboy, but how do they know that Brother Changtian has been working hard silently...
It's just that no one can understand or agree with this process.
So Brother Changtian can only endure the contempt of the world, bear the infamy and ridicule, and persevere alone.
Until loneliness becomes a habit...
My heart aches for my brother...
"Brother Changtian, I understand."
After a long while, Liang Qin slowly tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and said softly with a very sincere tone, "I'll listen to you, but..."
She hesitated slightly, and suddenly took a step closer with a blushing face.
"But you have to promise me that you must be strong no matter what."
Wei Changtian: "? ? ?"
No, where did all this come from? ?
Why am I not strong? ?
He really couldn't understand what kind of brain circuit Liang Qin had. He was just about to speak, but he heard another sentence in his ear.
"Brother Changtian... at least, you still have me."
