Chapter 112 – Faster than you

Liu Bingqian’s face turned red as she shyly looked at Ye Zifefng.

“Our relationship……..”

Ye Zifeng replied straightforwardly as Bingqian was hesitating, “We’re friends.”

“Friends?” Jin Peng looked deeply at Ye Zifeng. What kind of vague response was that? Do friends walk around calling the other big brother rough guy?”

He wanted to continue questioning them but felt that it was inappropriate so he stopped.

Liu Bingqian disappointingly looked at Ye Zifeng. A complicated expression appeared in her eyes.

In Jin Peng’s mind, he feels that they aren’t just friends at all.

“Alright. Follow me. The gravity multiplier room is a bit far from here so we need to pick up our pace. Why don’t we use our qi to run there?”

Transferring your qi towards your legs does make you run faster in a short amount of time. However, to a qi refining disciple, it will deplete their qi very quickly.

Of course, Jin Peng had other thoughts when he suggested this.

Liu Bingqian was shocked at this suggestion, “It’s not much of a problem to me, but big brother rough guy’s cultivation is a bit low….. I’m afraid that his qi will run out quickly.

Jin Peng took advantage of the situation and asked, “Low cultivation? What realm is he in?”

“Fifth stage of qi refining.” Ye Zifeng nonchalantly replied.

“Fifth stage of Qi Refining?” Jin Peng almost laughed out loud. However, he held it in and kept a calm look on his face. He thought that Ye Zifeng was a lot stronger since he was able to capture Liu Bingqian’s heart.

However, Ye Zifeng was far weaker than Liu Bingqian.

In the Martial Spirit Continent, strength meant everything. If a guy couldn’t even reach his spouse’s cultivation, how would he be able to protect her? He would definitely not be approved by the elders of the girl’s clan. When Jin Peng thought about this, he felt much better.

‘So that’s why. Your cultivation is a bit low so you want to cultivate in the gravity multiplier room. Alright. We’re going to use our qi to get there quickly. You’ll have to do it the hard way and walk there. Think of it as training.”

Right after saying that, he poured his qi into his feet and disappeared into the distance.

Liu Bingqian wanted to stop Jin Peng but he was too fast. He glared at Liu Bingqian and Ye Zifeng, signaling for them to follow him.

Ye Zifeng couldn’t help but sigh. He thought that the quality of these disciples in the Profound Sect would be better than the ones in Leizhou City. However, it seems like problematic people existed everywhere and cannot be avoided.

Only when he increase his cultivation and reach the peak will he be able to meet people

‘Big brother rough guy. Let’s go. If we don’t get moving, we won’t catch up to him.” Liu Bingqian had already started to move

“Alright.” Ye Zifeng smiled and nodded. He moved his qi towards his feet and followed up.

……

The gravity multiplier room is located on the audience mountain. At the foot of the mountain, many disciples gathered around and jested with each other.

“Senior brother Jin Peng. Is it true? That beauty that you’ve been thinking about every day and night has finally come?”

“And here I thought you were joking around about her. I didn’t think that she’d really exist!”

Jin Peng laughed, “Quiet down. She’s on her way here. Also, she has a guy with her. It might be someone that she likes. However, he’s only at the fifth stage of qi refining.”

“Fifth stage of qi refining?” All the disciples couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

“Hahaha…. Senior brother Jin Peng, no wonder why you ask them to run with their qi. So he was someone in the fifth stage of qi refining.”

“On top of that, senior brother Jin ran in such a loop. I bet you wanted to torture that kid.”

Jin Peng chuckled, “Somethings are better left unsaid. This is a good opportunity for me to show Miss Bingqian the difference between me and that kid. Alright. They’re here.”

From the direction that Jin Peng pointed at, Bingqian’s delicate looking figure appeared.

When she appeared, many of the disciples gasped in shock. Liu Bingqian is basically a beautiful painting!

“Senior brother Jin Peng, you have good tastes. So the person that you’ve been thinking about was such a beauty!”

“Shoo SHoo” Jin Peng smiled and then looked at Liu Bingqian.

Liu Binqian was still in the qi refining stage. She couldn’t be compared to Jin Peng who was already in the Martial Disciple realm already. It look her quite a while to get here and she was panting.

When Jin Peng saw that Ye Zifeng wasn’t with her, he felt very happy. He walked up to Bingqian and asked.

“Sister Bingqian, how come I don’t see the person that was with you? Is it because he doesn’t have enough qi to maintain his speed? Damn. It’s my fault. His cultivation is low so I should’ve looked after him more.

Bingqian was confused and looked at Jin Peng with some doubt, “That’s not right. Big brother rough guy was in front of me…… Did you guys not see him?”

Jin Peng stared at Bingqian with a shocked expression.

“Sister Bingqian. What did you say? He was in front of you? This…. How is this possible?”

Liu Bingqian looked around and suddenly started waving her hands toward the other side of the mountain.

“Look. Big brother rough guy is here already.”

Jin Peng was dumbfounded, “This…. What’s happening here?”

Ye Zifeng was already halfway up the mountain already. He was even closer to the gravity multiplier room than he was. Could he have arrived before Jin Peng?

Ye Zifeng walked over slowly with a calm and collected expression on his face. No one could tell that he was actually panting on the inside. Jin Peng and all of the other disciples were shocked.

“Brother Jin, Bingqian, you’re here.”

Hearing this, Jin Peng’s expression turned very ugly, “You…..How did you get here so quickly? That’s not possible. You’re only at the fifth stage of qi refining. How can you be faster than me?”

Ye Zifeng laughed as he replied, “From what I can see, Brother Jin probably took the long path to show us some sights. I thought about it and figured that I shouldn’t bother you guys and take a shorter route since I don’t have as much qi as you guys.”

Seeing how calm Ye Zifeng was, Liu Bingqian was startled, “Big brother rough guy. You’re incredible. This is your first time here in the Profound Sect but you can already get your way around. If it was me, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.”

“This…..” Jin Peng looked at Ye Zifeng with shock. This guy’s sense of direction was way too good….It was as if someone was guiding him….

Afterall, there were many hidden paths and traps in the Profound Sect. If one didn’t know their way around, they could even die to these traps.

However, no matter how hard Jin Peng thinks about this, he would never guess that the one guiding Ye Zifeng around was Elder Zhao, someone who treated the Profound Sect as if it was his own backyard.

Ye Zifeng chuckled, “What happened brother Jin. You’re not looking too good. Is it because you’re feeling a bit tired from taking the long way?”

“I……”

Liu Bingqian giggled and stared at Ye Zifeng, “Big brother rough guy is sure awesome. You’re only at the fifth stage of qi refining and yet you arrived way before us. You’re not even out of breath either!”

Jin Peng’s face turned green. This time, not only was he unable to embarrass Ye Zifeng, he had embarrassed himself instead!

“Alright Bingqian. Since we’re already here, we’ll take care of ourselves from now on. There’s no need to bother brother Jin anymore.” Ye Zifeng turned towards Bingqian.

Bingqian listened to whatever Ye Zifeng said and nodded, ‘Okay. Whatever you want. Let’s go.”

The two turned around, cupped their hands and slightly bowed, “Many thanks to brother Jin for escorting us.”

“Hold on.”

Jin Peng quickly returned to his senses. If he let them go like that, then he wouldn’t have any chance to get close to Liu Bingqian at all!

Ye Zifeng raised his brow, “Brother Jin, do you have some advice for us?”

Jin Peng’s mouth twitched, “That’s right. We’re in front of the gravity multiplier room right now. However, do you think that you can get inside so easily?

Liu Bingqian furrowed her brows and pointed towards a group of disciples, “But, aren’t they going in easily?”

“They’re formal disciples of the sect. Everyone here is given a ranking and were assigned to a certain room so that’s why they can freely enter and exit. However, you guys are outsiders. Before entering, you should be tested first.”

Jin Peng made up some random things and shot a few glances at his brothers.

“If you don’t believe me, then you can ask other people. Say, Ah-Qiang, there’s a rule like this right?”

Ah-Qiang was startled but immediately answered, “That’s right. We have to test you first. Otherwise, if someone in the low qi refining stages enter a top room, wouldn’t they be crushed to death?”

“That’s right. Jin Peng is right. There’ is something like this. All outsides must be tested before they enter the rooms.”

Jin Peng believed that it was due to luck that Ye Zifeng was able to make it to the mountain before he did. This time, he was going to make use of the Testing Stele. It was almost impossible for them to cheat or get outside help.”

Thus, this was the best opportunity to embarrass Ye Zifeng!

Liu Bingqian looked towards Ye Zifeng, “Big brother rough guy, what do you think?”

Ye Zifeng smiled back, “Brother Jin makes a lot of sense. Since this is the rule, then we just have to follow it……”
