Translator: 549690339

Wu Qingce, who had been defeated by Yuan Xingteng, did not have any complaints, because he had been defeated by Yuan Xingteng with a casual move.

Before today, Wu Qingce had always thought that his movements were as fast as lightning. During sparring sessions, his opponents would always fall to the ground before they could see his moves clearly.

But today, Wu Qingce had experienced this feeling himself.

He had no idea when Yuan Xingteng had rushed in front of him. All he felt was a tightness in his chest and a sweetness in his throat.

He fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Although he had underestimated the enemy, he was not careless.

There was only one reason for this result, and that was the absolute difference in strength.

Therefore, Wu Qingce was not unconvinced. He knew that even if he fought a hundred times in this situation, he would still be defeated by the other party in one move.

‘This is…Cultivators?

Wu Qingce had heard his father talk about cultivators when he was very young. He had always wanted to beca cultivator.

However, his father told him that he would have to wait until the year of the dancing elephant before he could sense the spiritual energy and join a sect to beca cultivator.

Therefore, he had been waiting for that day to come.

“Father.” Wu Qingce, who was lying weakly on the bed, shouted.

“What’s wrong?” Wu Fengmian asked.

“Didn’t you say that when the Year of the Dancing Elephant… Only then can it beca cultivator?”

Seeing that his son wasn’t hysterical or clamoring for revenge, Wu Fengmian felt quite relieved.

He took a wet towel from the copper basin and wiped the sweat off Wu Qingce’s forehead. He said gently,””There are always speople with extraordinary talent in this world. They were born to break all kinds of rules and becan existence that everyone looks up to.”

“Is that Yuan Xingteng younger than me?” “Yes, he’s a year younger than you.”

“So he’s the kind of person with extraordinary talent?”

“That’s right. I’ve been in the martial world for so long, but this is the first time

I’ve seen someone beca cultivator at such a young age. It’s not unfair that

you lost to him.”

“Then will we have a chance to defeat him in the future?”

“Of course, when you beca cultivator and work hard, you will definitely be able to defeat him one day. What you need to do now is to lay a good foundation.”

“Good! I will definitely work hard! Work hard! Work harder!”

After saying this, Wu Qingce finally burst into tears. For someone who had never lost before, today’s battle was a huge blow to him. At the stime, it was the first this pride had suffered such a huge blow.

After this painful lesson, Wu Qingce was no longer arrogant.

Every day, he would train until he could not get up.

Three years passed like this. Wu Qingce’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. He had learned almost all of his father’s hidden weapon skills. He could easily hit a target a hundred meters away with his eyes closed.

However, he had never been happy about it.

This was because he still could not absorb any spiritual energy.

Wu Qingce had thought that even if he wasn’t as talented as Yuan Xingteng, he was still much stronger than the average person. As long as he worked hard, he should be able to beca cultivator before the Year of the Dancing Elephant.

Every day when he woke up, he was full of hope that he could absorb spiritual energy, but his wish cto nothing again and again.

Finally, he understood.

He was just an ordinary person. At the very least, when it cto cultivation, he was no different from most people.

Invincible…

It was all just a dream.

Although he had never asked his father about Yuan Xingteng’s current cultivation level, no, rather than saying that he had never asked, it was more accurate to say that he did not dare to ask.

That Yuan Xingteng was able to flip him to the ground with one move three years ago. Now that three years had passed, with his talent, he was probably already so strong that he could not even imagine it.

This irreparable gap caused Wu Qingce to sink into despair.

Without talent, no matter how hard you work…

What was the use?

From then on, although Wu Qingce did not give up on himself, he no longer had the youthful spirit he once had. He also quietly buried his dream of being invincible.

Two years later, Wu Qingce finally reached the year of the dancing elephant. One morning, he sensed the presence of spiritual energy around him.

But at that moment, he did not feel any joy.

Compared to ordinary people who could not cultivate for their entire lives, it was already a very powerful talent for him to be able to sense spiritual energy.

But so what…

At most, he could only beca foil to those geniuses. That was all.

Through his father’s connections, he had entered a sect called the Returning Heart Sect. Although it was not a top-notch sect in Feng Province, it was still considered first-rate.

After that, he beca disciple of the Chaotic Stars Hall and began his cultivation life.

The truth was just as he had imagined. His talent was neither high nor low. Although he had a firm foothold in the hall with his excellent hidden weapon skills, there were only a few people who were better than him.

The days passed like this. Soon, it was tfor him to go down the mountain for his first experience.

He didn’t have anything that wanted to specify the Iron Seal, so he was randomly added to a training team, and he saw his Iron Seal in the square.

“Mas.. ”

The moment he saw the iron seal, Wu Qingce felt his entire body tremble. He was about to say the word, but he forgot who the other party was.

However, Ironseal suddenly walked up to him and smiled, “‘Have you forgotten who I am?”

“Bang!”

Wu Qingce felt as if his brain had exploded when he heard that. In the next second, his ” life ” seemed to have been accelerated..
