AST 1250 – Getting Ready to Leave, Yet Another Challenge Letter

Qing Shui"s most powerful aspect was still his Spirit Energy. Of course, the strength of his Nine Continents Mountain was incomparably terrifying, but in comparison, it was still his control of Spirit Energy that was the most powerful.

If the chances of his attack prowess doubling were met, the attacks of his Spirit Energy would become more powerful than ever. However, Qing Shui was more confident about the confinement strength of his Spirit Energy under the effect of the Eight-eight Divine Nebula Formation. For example, he felt more confident about the confinement strength of his Great Golden Buddha Palm Imprint and his Seventh Wave. Additionally, the binding strength of his Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines was also quite terrifying.

Both the Tidal Cloud Wave Seal and Seal of Xuantian would also increase significantly.

Qing Shui was satisfied. As long as his Spirit Energy could confine his opponent, for example, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine, it would be a lot easier for him to play his opponents to death. Another example was, he could completely cripple his enemy with the Thunderous Beast or immediately let the Treasure Hunting Pig to come out through his own body.

Hence, it could be said that his current killing prowess had increased a lot. This time, Qing Shui was really satisfied. Even though he was aware that the strongest force within the Western Oxhe Continent was around 8,000 sun, but how many of those people exist within the Western Oxhe Continent? Most probably these people are extremely rare in number.

Qing Shui"s increase in strength made the energy within his body many times more powerful. His entire body was not in the slightest inferior to demonic beasts at the same level. The Nine Yang Golden Body, even his Ancient Strengthening Technique had helped strengthen his physical body. Additionally, there was the power up provided by his Violet Gold Bloodline.

The enormous breakthrough this time meant that Qing Shui had begun taking over the top circle of strength within the Western Oxhe Continent. The refinement last time was an enormous turning point. It could be considered as something extremely crucial. However, only this time could be considered as a true huge leap he took, as the breakthrough this time have helped him completely unlocked this phase.

Now, there were a lot of things that Qing Shui no longer had to be too worried about. He could let just go ahead and do whatever he wanted to.

On the second day, Qing Sha was there for his morning practice like usual. Because of the time within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui wouldn"t normally be able to make it early. Hence, Qing Sha was always earlier than her.

As time pa.s.sed, Qing Sha got more and more powerful. She had already surpa.s.sed the Seventh Princess and Yan Jinyu. Even though her pernicious aura, baleful aura, and murderous aura were very strong, it was no longer something to be concerned about as long as her mind was awake. No one had decided that only white sword Qi would be considered righteous and that black sword Qi would be considered evil. What was evil were humans. Evil humans would still be evil even if they use white sword Qi.

Qing Shui also practiced his Taichi Fist and had a really calm mind as his chest was filled with Nature Energy. At the moment when he lifted his hand and moved his leg, the entire Heaven and Earth followed his movement and also began to move rhythmically.

After she finished her practice, Qing Sha could clearly tell the changes in Qing Shui. His entire person as well as his aura had changed. However, he was still the father which she was familiar with – the person who had treated her the best in this world.

Qing Shui seemed to really enjoyed practicing his Taichi Fist. The golden qi around his body was much more in quant.i.ty.. It was a lot more powerful than the Taichi Golden Qi in the past. Qing Sha also benefited a lot by watching Qing Shui practiced his Taichi Fist. With her current cultivation, the amount of benefits she could get from watching someone with Qing Shui"s level practicing Taichi Fist was immeasurable.

This was considered as truly touching the great gate of Heavenly Dao. As Qing Shui swayed his hand, he carried along the rhythmic movement of the Heaven and Earth. Even at the time when he swung his arms, the Qi that was released was strong enough to pressure someone to death.

"Father, you broke through once again!"

When Qing Shui stopped, Qing Sha happily approached him and embraced his arm.

"Yes, it"s considered a breakthrough. Oh yes, little la.s.s, I"m going to talk to you about something." Since Qing Shui had already refined that powerful strength, the day for him to leave was near.

"Oh, father is leaving. Bring me along!" Qing Sha smiled and looked at Qing Shui.

"Little la.s.s, maybe later on, I might have to move around and the current you is unsuitable for going with me. Your cultivation is at its most crucial moment. Do you not want to continue increasing your strength?" QIng Shui asked Qing Sha as he walked.

"Daddy, do you not want me anymore?" Suddenly, Qing Sha"s face turned pale. She looked at Qing Shui seriously.

"How could I not? Little la.s.s, why would you think that way?" Qing Shui rubbed her head when he saw her expression.

"I am scared that father will never come back ever again once you leave." Qing Sha said in a sad tone.

"Little la.s.s, you still have them here. Why won"t I come back? I am still hoping for Sister Su to become the headmaster here. The thing you need to do now is to cultivate hard." Qing Shui said patiently.

Qing Sha rolled her eyes. "Father, do you like her?"

"Why do you ask?" Qing Shui knew that Qing Sha was talking about the Eldest Princess.

"Why can"t I ask this? I just feel that father treats her differently. You will hold her hand from time to time and even hug her." Qing Sha pouted.

"Erm, does this mean I like her then?" Qing Shui was stunned and asked with a smile.

"Don"t treat me like a child. You guys are already like this, is this still counted as being normal friends?" Qing Sha said in an unsatisfied tone.

"Well then, little la.s.s, do you want me to like her?" Qing Shui never expected for Qing Sha to think this way. Since she was already thinking like that, Yan Jinyu and the Seventh Princess most likely also had the same thought.

"It is useless whether I am willing to do so or not. You need to ask your wife." Qing Sha chuckled.

Qing Shui softly knocked her head and smiled. "Promise me to cultivate here well. Do you want to join the Heaven Secrets Academy? Forget it, this is still your choice. One more thing, if you need any help, you can look for her okay?"

Qing Sha hesitated for a while. "I"ll listen to father as long as you take out some time to visit me.."

"I will promise you this. Don"t worry, it"s very easy for me to come back." Qing Shui had the Nine Continents Boots. He wouldn"t need that much time to come back with his Nine Continents Step Effect. Even tho the Divine Might Dynasty might be really far away from the Heaven Secrets Academy, it was still within Qing Shui"s acceptable range.

In the morning, Qing Shui headed off to the Heaven Secret Court. The other two old men from before were also there. Now, Qing Shui"s formidable Spiritual Sense was able to vaguely feel Headmaster Cao"s strength. It was around 5,000 sun, or roughly a little less than that.

Headmaster Cao was considered as one of the few Deputy Headmaster of the Heaven Secret Academy. As for the strength of the other old man, Qing Shui could only sense it vaguely. He was unable to feel his actual strength, however, what he could sensed was even stronger than Headmaster Cao"s.

Upon seeing Qing Shui, the two old men were shocked. The old man in gold dragon gown smiled happily. "Qing Shui, indeed I am right, I wonder how much strength can you fight against now?"

Actually, the old man was really curious. After all, there was a time where Qing Shui was able to fight equally with the Saint Child who possessed a strength worth 2,100 sun, with his own 500 sun of strength and 1,000 sun of strength of the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant.

"I can kill warriors with 4,000 sun worth of strength easily. As for 5,000 sun, I won"t be so sure about that, but I"ll still be able to protect myself!" Qing Shui knew that at this moment, he needed to say things like these to demonstrate his strength.

The old man didn"t really look that shocked as he nodded. "The Heaven Secrets Academy will be your strongest s.h.i.+eld. At least for now, it still can qualified to be that. I will try my best to let the girl in the Breezing Wind Veranda to grow stronger. By then, I will leave the Heaven Secrets Academy to her."

Qing Shui looked at the old man with a strange look. "Old man, do you really believe me that much? Are you not afraid that I may steal away your Heaven Secrets Academy? Or are you not afraid that I am a spy sent by the other two dynasties?"

"Haha, you have truly underestimated my old eyes. After ten years, or it may not even take that long, the Heaven Secrets Academy will be something you will no longer pay attention to. Besides, I am still quite confident when it comes to a.n.a.lyzing people. Or else, I would have eliminated you sooner. In any case, it is also a good thing that the Heaven Secrets Academy is in your hands."

The old man spoke calmly.

When Qing Shui heard the old man"s words, not only was he not angry, but on the contrary, he felt that the old man was very honest. This was an old man who had dedicated his whole heart to the Heaven Secrets Academy. He nodded with a smile and said: "I will try my best to help develop the Heaven Secrets Academy."

The three started to drink tea and talk about some bizarre things. Qing Shui on the other hand, also had things to ask on his visit this time. Hence, he asked about all of the questionable things which he prepared before coming.

"How do people from Western Oxhe Continent travel to the other three continents?"

"Half of the Western Oxhe Continent is the one we"re currently located in, other than this, it has another half. The other half of the continent is very dangerous. For example, after pa.s.sing through the Desolate Mountain Regions, you"ll arrive in the other half of the continent. The only way to the other three continents is through the other half of the Western Oxhe Continent. One could travel to it by walking past the other half of Western Oxhe Continent. It may sound easy, but the journey is incomparably dangerous." The old man in golden dragon gown said slowly after thinking for a while.

"Is this the only way?" Qing Shui asked, confused.

"At least based on my knowledge, this is the only way. Actually, the World of the Nine Continents is just too big. The continents are separated by oceans and mountain regions. However, there are still the Ancient Great Formation that connect the other five continents with the Western Oxhe Continent. Legend has it that a long time ago, the Western Oxhe Continent used to also have another Ancient Great Formation to link with the other three continents, just like the other five. However, legend also said that later on, the three continents destroyed the formation. In a way, it can be considered that they have completely destroyed their link with the Western Oxhe Continent."

"Has anyone been to the three continents throughout these years?" Qing Shui asked after he thought for awhile.

"Yes. Actually, there should be people that came from the other three continent in the Western Oxhe Continent. It"s very easy for legendary warriors to travel back and forth between the continents. However, there are only very few people from the Western Oxhe Continent who managed to travel there. Hence, it already became a legend.

"What kind of strength do I need to travel smoothly to the other three continents?" Qing Shui had a feeling that he would definitely go there in the future. Hence, he felt that it would be best if he got a rough idea about it now.

"A strength worth 3,000 sun should be able to endure the journey. However, you will still need speed, for example, a powerful flying beast. Otherwise, the amount of time this journey will consume isn"t something which a normal human can take." The old man in golden dragon gown smiled as he looked at Qing Shui.

"This journey seemed to be really far." Qing Shui laughed

"It"s indeed far. You will need 20 years time travelling at your full speed. Even if you possessed a long lifespan, you may not be able to stand the exhaustion during your journey."

Twenty years?

Qing Shui was shocked. He might have achieved this level of strength and have a long lifespan, but 20 years was still not a short time. Let alone during his journey, the loneliness, as well as the danger he could ran into, weren"t something which normal people could take. Since it was such a long time, the journey could be said to be filled with constant danger. The places which he would come across had a huge ocean included in it. It was incomparably dangerous. If he didn"t run into any deserted island, then he would need a few flying beasts to take turns on his journey.

"Qing Shui, if you are planning to head off to the three continents, I would recommend you to do so a bit later." The old man gave Qing Shui an advice out of good intention. He didn"t speak anymore than that.

"Yes, I know. I still plan to stay here for a few more years."

Qing Shui left after he asked again about the things regarding the Divine Might Dynasty. The main reason he came was to show the old man his hidden potential and increase his influence in the Heaven Secrets Academy. Other than that, he also asked a thing or two about stuffs which he would like to know himself.

However, not long after Qing Shui reached home, he had received a challenge letter. This was a challenge letter delivered by a group of people together. The names on the list included Fu Yantian, Tian Jianxian, Zuo Baidong, Ya Fengshui and Yu Huwu in it.

These were nearly the people from the five strongest forces among the Heaven Secrets Academy. Saint Child"s Band, Lord Sect, Zuoyue Hall… Furthermore, it was very likely that they were the main lords of their respective forces.

AST 1251 – Before The Battle, Accepting The Challenge

Qing Shui never expected for someone to come and challenge him as soon as he broke through. Was this a coincidence or a scheme? However, he was still really happy. Before he left, he was still worrying about how he should make fame for himself. This was almost like someone giving you a pillow when you want to nap.

However, Qing Shui didn"t understand why they wanted to unite and challenged him? Could it be that he was really close with the Eldest Princess last time? Or was it that he was really close with the higher-ups in the Heaven Secrets Academy and that his name as the Guest Custodian had been spread?

Qing Shui"s heart was moved as soon as he saw the Saint Child"s name. It might be that he felt that he had been careless last time and he wanted to fight again. Or, it might be that the challenge this time wasn"t suggested by the Saint Child. This was just pus.h.i.+ng somebody to do something way beyond their ability. For example, if Qing Shui got beaten by the Lord Sect or by other people, wouldn"t that in a way say that he himself was inferior to them?

In just a moment, Qing Shui"s thoughts spun about in his head quickly. Different ideas constantly flashed across his mind, but he wasn"t worried for now. However, he also didn"t want to offend all of them at once. Even though he wasn"t scared of them, there were still the Eldest Princess, Qing Sha and others here.

When someone loved their house, they would love their crows too. (chinese idiom) Similarly, when someone hated it, they would also hate the crows together. Hence, if one of them were insane, who could guarantee nothing would happen? If he really wanted to fight, he would have to make sure to smash them completely and make sure that they couldn"t stand back up forever.

At the moment when Qing Shui was indulged in his thoughts, Tian Jiange came. Compared to before, he seemed to be a lot more calm and steady. However, his brows were slightly knitted at the moment. As he saw the challenge letter in Qing Shui"s hand, he said helplessly: "This was elder brother"s wish. I couldn"t stop him."

"Why stop him? Are you confident in taking over the Lord Sect?" Qing Shui suddenly asked Tian Jiange.

"I don"t understand?" Tian Jiange seemed panicked. He stared at Qing Shui very tightly.

"I"m saying, if your brother lose the match this time and that you end up taking over the Lord Sect, will you be able to control it?" Qing Shui pinned the challenge letter on the stone table.

"Brother, my current strength is still insufficient to control the Lord Sect." Tian Jiange let out a sigh.

"Don"t rush. We will wait a bit longer then." QIng Shui smiled and said.

Tian Jiange felt that the current Qing Shui was a bit unpredictable. He didn"t know what exactly he should say. Even though he could roughly guess it, he couldn"t really believe it either. This time, a few people had united to challenge him. A lot of people could tell that the Saint Child had been careless last time. Hence, if Qing Shui accepted this challenge, things definitely wouldn"t end well for him.

"Elder brother, please help me pa.s.s the message. Just tell them that I accept the challenge, but we will need to bet on something by then." Qing Shui smiled and said.

"Brother, even if you don"t accept it, the outsiders won"t say anything. Why don"t you reject it?" Tian Jiange tried to convince him.

"Don"t worry, I"ll be fine. Just help me pa.s.s the message to them. As long as they promise that, I will accept the challenge. By then, the conditions of the bet will satisfy both sides. Tell them to not worry about it." Qing Shui smiled. This time, he had considered to helped the Eldest Princess paved ways.

Tian Jiange stopped convincing him. He knew that Qing Shui normally wouldn"t change his minds on things which he had decided on. Besides, from the way he knew this man, he knew that Qing Shui wouldn"t do things he wasn"t confident with.

When he first came, he had already noticed that Qing Shui felt different than before. Even though he wasn"t really sure, but it must have a huge relation with the breakthrough in his strength.

"Tomorrow noon at the Heaven Secrets Arena!" Qing Shui confirmed the time as he smiled and told Tian Jiange.

Qing Shui accepted the challenge. He once again spread it around the Heaven Secret Academy.

People were already talking about all kinds of things after just a while. Now, no one dared to look down on Qing Shui anymore. In any case, how many people were there that could force the Saint Child to the extent that he united with other people to challenge someone? Furthermore, Qing Shui also held the position as the Guest Custodian.

"Brother Sui, are you still going to spectate it this time?" The old man with surname Cao chuckled as he spoke.

"Do you think that it"s still something to look forward to?"

"Most likely not, the gap is too wide."

"Yes, by the way nurture that little la.s.s well. In the future, the Heaven Secrets Academy will be in her hand. It"s only by her ruling that the Heaven Secrets Academy will be the strongest existence within the Western Oxhe Continent. The Heaven Secrets Academy may be able to spread out its force across the entire continent earlier than expected. It may even have hope of making its way into the other three continents. This is an opportunity."

"You are saying that the brat likes Sunu?" The old man with surname Cao asked in a slightly strange manner.

"Haha, is this even something to be questioned about? Just watch, in the future, Sunu will definitely get together with this brat." The old man in gold dragon gown said while he laughed.

"You"ve changed!" the Eldest Princess got shocked after she saw Qing Shui.

"I look more handsome now, don"t I?" Qing Shui quickly went with the flow and said.

"You have become even paler. Your skin also looks smoother. You look a bit like a girl now." the Eldest Princess said seriously.

Qing Shui felt black lines hang above his head. He angrily clenched his teeth and hugged her: "Do I seem more manly now……?"

"Pu!"

As she saw Qing Shui"s face, the Eldest Princess laughed. She softly opened up his arms, let out her hand and rubbed his head. She only stopped after she messed up his hair.

"You are fighting again? Are you confident you can win?" the Eldest Princess turned around and went forward.

"Have you ever seen me before doing something I"m not confident with?" Qing Shui said as he showed off.

"Good then, inform me when you"re about to leave. I"ll send you off!" the Eldest Princess smiled and looked at Qing Shui.

"Going to miss me?" Qing Shui took two steps forward towards her.

"Who do you think you are? I won"t even remember you." the Eldest Princess smiled and said.

"Can I ask you a question?" Qing Shui asked strangely.

"What question?" the Eldest Princess felt that Qing Shui"s expression looked a bit weird.

"I have said before that everyone has emotions regardless of whether they are guys or girls. Have you ever thought of a man throughout these years? For example, have you ever had any wet dreams?" Qing Shui said patiently while he looked at the Eldest Princess. If the Eldest Princess" expression changed very quickly, he would immediately stop.

"What kind of answer do you want?" the Eldest Princess wasn"t mad, nor was she angry. It was as if she was emotionless. Instead, she asked back another question to Qing Shui.

"I want the real answer."

"Can you distinguish between the real and fake answer?"

"No!"

"Well that explains it. What answer do you want to hear? I"ll answer you that, wouldn"t that be better?" The Eldest Princess responded with a faint smile.

"Yes, that makes sense too. Well then, you can say you have emotions. You have also had a lot of charming and gentle dreams before. In those dreams, you were having fun with Qing Shui and you almost died from the overwhelming pleasure after I fulfil your s.e.xual desir……"

Before Qing Shui could finish his words, the shy Eldest Princess immediately covered his mouth.

She also never expected this tactless little brat to become more and more daring. Qing Shui, whose mouth had been covered, already experienced this before. He let out his tongue and licked it around her palm. The Eldest Princess retracted back her hand as if she just got shocked.

"You are not respecting me." the Eldest Princess slightly lowered down her head and said depressingly.

Qing Shui felt as if his heart stopped for a while. With both of his arms, he held her shoulders which felt like blades and said seriously: "No, I have always respected you. It"s just that for some reason, I really enjoyed looking at your shy face. I am treating you like my soulmate, a soulmate whom I can share everything with. Since you say that you are not getting married, I want to give you another kind of life."

As the Eldest Princess heard Qing Shui"s words, her beautiful body shook. She lifted up her head and looked at the serious expression of the man in front of him. Then, she smiled gently: "I am not getting married. If I were to do so, I"ll get married to you."

"Do you not mind about the fact I have wives anymore?" Qing Shui looked at the Eldest Princess, confused. Women"s thought were indeed unpredictable.

"I don"t want to stick around with you everyday. Besides, I am just saying if. Don"t try to come up with any crooked intentions or else I will ignore you for my entire life." The Eldest Princess revealed a relaxed smile.

"Crooked intention? What crooked intention?" QIng Shui asked as he pretended like he didn"t know what she meant.

"Do not take off my cloth……" It seemed like the Eldest Princess also didn"t know how she should respond to make it sound appropriate. However, she knew that Qing Shui was only teasing her. Hence, she was also playing with him as she was also aware of the schemes of men.

"Oh, I know now. So as long as I don"t take off your clothes, I can do whatever I want, right?" Qing Shui asked with a smile.

It was as if the Eldest Princess also heard something wrong with what he said. "Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you are becoming more daring now!"

"I"m about to engage in a fight with other people. Sister Su, please give me some motivation." Qing Shui said with a smile.

The Eldest Princess was helpless. However, she still stepped forward and gently hugged Qing Shui. From what she said before, it could be already considered she have made a promise with Qing Shui. Hence, she didn"t feel that any of the close interactions they had with each other were repulsive. She realized that she didn"t really hate this kind of sensation but rather, it seemed that she even started to look forward to them.

As Qing Shui looked at her, he was a bit stunned. He gently kissed her jade-like face. It smelled really fragrant, felt really smooth and soft. He quickly separated away from her after he kissed her. Despite so, this still stunned the Eldest Princess.

The impact was still really huge. After she looked at Qing Shui for quite a while, she dug her head into his chest. The two of them hugged each other very tightly.

Qing Shui felt the firmness of her breast and wonderful softness of her body. He couldn"t resist the erection of his little brother. It pressed against a tender spot, causing the beautiful body in his arm to immediately weaken.

He was aware which part of her body he had b.u.mped into. Compared to himself, the Eldest Princess" slender body wasn"t really that short. She had long and slender legs, as she also tiptoed back then when she hugged him. And now, the firm object below Qing Shui already pressed itself against her wet spot.

Qing Shui inhaled some cold air. This was a kind of comfortable sensation. It has been a long time since he had last "eaten any flesh". As he embraced that beautiful waist, he unknowingly exerted a bit of force. Qing Shui didn"t know when, but his hands were already on her upright and beautiful b.u.t.tocks. As he touched it, it felt smooth like jade and also felt incredibly tight. Without himself noticing, he had already grabbed it.

"If you try to do anything more than that, I will leave right away."

The Eldest Princess" weak and soft voice came through.

Even though Qing Shui wasn"t moving, the firm and upright object below him got stimulated. It felt as if it was moving up and down slightly.

Qing Shui"s arms embraced her alluring b.u.t.t. He lowered down his head and looked at the her blurry eyes. The Eldest Princess, whose entire face had turned red, was tightly embracing Qing Shui"s neck with both of her arms. She wanted to lift up her body a bit higher to avoid the interaction down below which made her fl.u.s.tered.

However, she didn"t know that the higher she tried to lift up her body, the more awkward the angle looked. Even though she had her clothes on, he still had a really strong desire to make his way in. Right now, Qing Shui was feeling both comfortable down to his core, but was also feeling tortured. He was just like a person that was about to starve to death who saw a piece of fresh, cooked meat. However, the only thing he could do was to lick it, he couldn"t bite it or eat it.

It had only been roughly about half an hour and the only thing Qing Shui felt was the woman in his arms being stiff. Following that, he felt something very wet below him. However, it didn"t really come from him. The woman in his arms on the other hand, was still twitching.

She was actually this sensitive……
