Chapter 13: Chapter 12 The Future Looks Promising
Liu Lingqi saw Han Ye's hesitant expression and frowned,
"Why, you're not willing?"
It took her a lot of effort to escape from her mother's tutelage just now.
Although her mother has been married to her father for more than twenty years, her position in the family is not low. Her father's successful business relies on her mother's connections.
Her mother's words weighed greatly.
If Han Ye were to refuse her, her mother might criticize her again for her attitude, saying that a girl should not be so impetuous and so forth.
She didn't want to be nagged by her mother again.
Naturally, she hoped that Han Ye would agree quickly.
"I'll listen to the young miss."
Han Ye bowed his head and said.
In his view, Liu Lingqi's approach was obviously to train him as a confidant.
His performance on the martial arts platform had long caught the attention of Liu Manor.
He had previously imagined that he could buy back his slave contract with a heavy sum of money.
But at present, it was just a hypothesis.
The current situation did not seem to lead to his freedom.
If he were the master of Liu Manor, having such a brave warrior in the house who had also signed a slave contract, he wouldn't let go—no way!
Therefore, he could only stay here, utilizing Liu Manor's resources and connections to continually improve himself.
Once his strength was strong enough, becoming a real cultivator, no one could stop him.
He had already obtained the ticket to Dragon Sparrow Sect.
This opportunity was not easy to come by.
Next, he just needed to cultivate his foundation steadily, train hard, and he could participate in the sect entrance examination five months later.
Being a stableman was not a problem.
After all, it was only temporary, he would not be one for the rest of his life.
Seeing Han Ye agree to her proposal, Liu Lingqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This resolved a nagging concern in her heart.
"Report to the inner courtyard after dinner."
"Yes."
Han Ye watched Liu Lingqi leave, then arrived at the dining table in the main hall. Almost everyone was there, except him. The inception of this content can be traced to n0ve1bin★
"Brother Han, you are a bit slow, dinner is about to start. I saved a seat for you."
Wang Da Niu patted the seat beside him, signaling Han Ye, with a cheery smile on his face.
"Alright."
Seeing that everyone was engrossed in their conversation, Wang Da Niu scratched his head awkwardly and cracked a smile: "You guys have been to plenty of places, unlike me. The furthest I've been is the county."
"Hahaha, Brother Da Niu, don't be discouraged. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
A burly man next to him comforted him with a hearty laugh.
"Indeed, we are all training together now, and in a few months we will join the Dragon Sparrow Sect. Our futures are promising."
"Cheers!"
...
Amidst the clinking of glasses and lively chatter, many people became quite drunk.
Wang Da Niu had already passed out on the table, snoring loudly.
Han Ye decided to step out for some fresh air.
Not because he disliked the clamor.
But because the natural quietude suited him better.
Clearing the bustling foyer, Han Ye found his way to the lawn in the inner courtyard.
Looking at the wooden stakes arranged there, he suddenly felt an itching in his palms.
Ever since he found out that his body had undergone a metamorphosis and stepped into the Body Forging Realm - Third Level Internal Organs.
His desire to become stronger had turned increasingly urgent.
If it were up to him, he would have already opened his orifices, commenced his Qi Cultivation and become a cultivator.
"Poom, poom, poom!"
After surveying his surroundings and confirming that no one was around, Han Ye got into position and started practicing his fist technique.
He was practicing the same Tiger Arm Fist that he had used to kill the ferocious tiger.
Tiger Claw Pounce.
Ferocious Tiger Descends the Mountain.
Evil Tiger Heart Plucking.
He imitated each technique, standing tall as a mountain, as firm as a pine tree, and moving like a tiger.
As he practiced the Tiger Arm Fist over and over again, Han Ye felt a change in his body. His blood circulated quickly, guided by an element of Dragon and Tiger Breath. It surged through his meridians, whipping up a gust as he moved, its power surpassing his previous attempts by many times!
In an instant, blood circulated through his body nine times.
Was this the result of absorbing the Nourishing Body Soup?
Only then did Han Ye realize that reaching the Third Level Internal Organs in the Body Forging Realm meant he could introspect his body. His flesh was extremely tough, his muscles and bones were as strong as iron. His internal organs generated vital energy, vibrant and ceaseless, transporting Dragon and Tiger Breath, doubling his strength.
"Boom!"
With his full strength behind one punch, he hit the thick wooden stake, breaking it clean.
These stakes were made of hundred-year-old pine trees and were very sturdy.
With a punch like that, if he were to hit a person, wouldn't they be sent flying, spitting up three jin of blood?
"You've practiced this Tiger Arm Fist quite well. You've been secretly learning it for a while haven't you?"
Just then, a voice rang out behind Han Ye.
...
