Big Beard is less than sixty years old this year, but he seems to be only about forty years old because of cultivation. At this age, it is absolutely a genius to reach the eighth level of Houtian realm.

Qin Shaofeng, after hearing Big Beard"s words, smiles lightly and then he says to Big Beard, "One year, give me a year, then I will compete with you. If I can defeat you, then I will stay. Otherwise, I will be at your disposal."

At Qin Shaofeng"s words, not only is Big Beard stunned, but all the other pract.i.tioners are shocked as well. It is impossible for him to defeat Big Beard in a year"s time. These people have been practicing here for twenty or thirty years, but no one dares to say that they can defeat Big Beard.

After a short silence, everyone in the room bursts out laughing. Even Big Beard"s thick black beard is constantly shaking. It seems that it is very funny.

At this moment, a tall strong man who is nearly two meters tall strides to Qin Shaofeng, looking down at Qin Shaofeng, who is only about one point six meters tall and very skinny, and says to Qin Shaofeng, "Boy, you want to defeat the commander in a year"s time? If you can defeat me in a year"s time. I, Heita would like to regard you as my big bro. How about that?"

This big man is really tall and black, so the name Heita fits him perfectly.

Looking at Heita standing in front of him, Qin Shaofeng looks up at him, and thinks that this guy has grown so black in this icy and snowy environment that he can be regarded as an exception. At Heita"s words, Qin Shaofeng says to him, "What is your cultivation?"

Hearing Qin Shaofeng"s words, Heita grins with a big mouth opened and then says to Qin Shaofeng, "I joined Blood-Cabinet when I was 3, and I am fifteen years old. Now I am in the eighth level of strength training. I can lift stone lock, weighing four thousand kilograms easily. I can slap several persons just like you to death once a time."

Heita raises his palm towards Qin Shaofeng as if he daunts Qin Shaofeng. But after hearing Heita"s words, Qin Shaofeng is surprised. Heita is two meters tall. How could he just be fifteen years old, who looks in his twenties or thirties, but just as old as himself?

In others" eyes, achieving the eighth level of strength training must be a proud thing and the qualifications are also good, but in Qin Shaofeng"s view, Heita"s qualifications are a far cry from his. Qin Shaoyang, when he was only 11 years old, had already reached the peak of the ninth level of strength training, with a force of 5,000 kilo grams.

Compared with his own situation, Qin Shaofeng says to Heita, "One month, one month later, let"s have a compet.i.tion. If I win one month later, I will stay. If I lose, I will go to Shadow-cabinet according to what you said."

The former part is for Heita, while the latter part is for Big Beard. However, after hearing Qin Shaofeng"s words, all the people present laugh loudly. Looking at the contrast between Qin Shaofeng and Heita, everyone could see that Qin Shaofeng has no chance to win at all.

Before Big Beard could say anything, Heita has already consented and says to Qin Shaofeng, "Haha, boy, I promise you. I really want to see how you can defeat me next month."

People around are all whispering when they hear Heita"s words. It"s a good thing for those who are bored and practicing here all day to see such a good compet.i.tion.

Seeing this situation, Big Beard did not want to reject Qin Shaofeng, and also wants to give Qin Shaofeng a chance, so he promises him, "Okay, I"ll give you a month. It"s just one more person"s food, but you may not eat too much, considering your slim figure."

After hearing Big Beard"s words, Qin Shaofeng nods and bows his hand to Big Beard. Seeing Qin Shaofeng bowing his hand like a scholar and Big Beard responds awkwardly, and all of the people present laugh loudly. They have never seen Big Beard do such action before, which is naturally funny.

"Worth laughing? Go practicing. n.o.body needs to eat today unless they spare no efforts to practice." Seeing disciples laughing, Big Beard seems embarra.s.sed, so he roars like a lion, shocking Qin Shaofeng"s ears painfully.

Many of the disciples present shrink when they hear the words of Big Beard. They are reluctant to practice again. And in a corner of the training ground, a small figure, wearing a black dress, black veil mask, is looking at what happened on the training ground, with eyes focusing on Qin Shaofeng, and he seems to be very interested in Qin Shaofeng.

Qin Shaofeng comes to this corner of the training ground, where there is an open s.p.a.ce. There are hundreds of large and small stone locks in the open s.p.a.ce, among which the lightest one is a 10-kilogram stone lock, while the biggest one is as tall as a person, which is a 5,000-kilogram stone lock.

On the strength-training stage, the general method is to practice lifting stone locks to enhance strength. Of course, there are many martial arts that can be practiced to increase strength. On the edge of this small place, there is a stone tablet with some pictures and words on it.

Qin Shaofeng comes to the front and finds that a martial art called Crack Whale Boxing is depicted on it. As the name implies, if Crack Whale Boxing is trained to the highest level, it could tear a giant whale with one"s bare hands.

These martial arts are practiced by all the disciples here. Although Qin Shaofeng has many skills in his memory, among which there are many skills used to enhance strength, he can not practice them in public. Qin Shaofeng knows that it is dangerous to expose one"s wealth.

If he lets people know that he has so many mysterious feats, then it"s hard to say whether others have evil intentions. After a death, combined with all the monastic experience of the free demon, Qin Shaofeng naturally becomes cautious a lot.

Crack Whale Boxing is also a good way to practice strength, so Qin Shaofeng starts to learn. With Qin Shaofeng"s abnormal memory ability, it is only once that he recites the whole piece of Crack Whale Boxing. Then he leaves the stone tablet and comes to the front of the 10-kilogram stone lock and lifts the stone lock.

Although it"s only a stone lock of 10 kilograms, he has to lift it with his hands because of his weak body. Seeing Qin Shaofeng, people present laugh loudly.

For the laughter of the crowd, Qin Shaofeng does not care at all, but still stands there, figuring out the essence of the Crack Whale Boxing in his mind. But in less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Shaofeng feels his arms begin to ache and become heavy.

A sense of fatigue attacks Qin Shaofeng. However, this sense of fatigue is swallowed and absorbed by Qin Shaofeng"s demons of Seven Emotions and Six Desires in an instant.

Yes, this is the reliance of Qin Shaofeng. He practices the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and with the existence of Touch Demon Qin Shaofeng will not feel tired and painful at all, for which Qin Shaofeng can persist, constantly breaking through the limits of the body and increasing his strength.

On the fifth level of body, it is necessary to constantly challenge the limits, so that one"s body can constantly break through the limits of strength.

Because of the existence of the Great Law of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, all of Qin Shaofeng"s fatigue and sore feelings will be swallowed and absorbed by demons of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and that"s why Qin Shaofeng can persevere. In this way, breaking through the limit for Qin Shaofeng is very simple, and it is also why Qin Shaofeng dares to say that in one month he will defeat Heita and in a year he will defeat Big Beard.

When the feeling of ache of arms is coming to Qin Shaofeng, demons directly swallow up those painful feelings, making Qin Shaofeng continue to stand there with his ten kilograms of stone locks in his hands, and then half an hour pa.s.ses, and then one hour pa.s.ses.

Those who secretly watch Qin Shaofeng on the training ground are greatly surprised. They do not believe that the body like Qin Shaofeng could stand for an hour with a stone lock of ten kilograms.

Ten kilograms of stone locks is nothing for the people present. People here have practiced for at least ten years. Their hands can lift at least thousands of kilograms" weight. But that is the power of instantaneous explosion. Like Qin Shaofeng, standing there with a stone lock of ten kilograms for an hour is surprising enough. And even Big Beard is surprised to look at Qin Shaofeng incredibly.

"d.a.m.n, go on practicing. Really do not want to eat ?" Big Beard looks at Qin Shaofeng standing there and roars at the people around him.

Then he walks to Heita, who is practicing Crack Whale Boxing and says to him, "Heita, see it? That kid is not that simple. He may be able to beat you in a month.

Heita also notices the situation of Qin Shaofeng, but does not pay attention to it. Now he hears Big Beard"s words. He also curls his lips, saying to Big Beard, "Do not worry. That kid is definitely not my opponent. Wait for a month and see a good play."
