Wu Qingce, who was defeated by Yuan Xingteng, actually had no objections because he was defeated by the opponent with a casual move.
Before today, Wu Qingce had always believed that his movement skills were as fast as lightning. During sparring, the opponent would always fall to the ground before he could see his moves clearly.
However, Wu Qingce himself experienced this feeling today.
He had no idea when Yuan Xingteng rushed in front of him, but he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a sweetness in his throat.
He fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Although he underestimated the enemy, he was never careless.
There is only one reason for this result, and that is the absolute gap in strength.
Therefore, Wu Qingce has no objections. He knows that if he hits him a hundred times in this situation, he will still be knocked down by the opponent.
'Is this...a cultivator?'
Wu Qingce heard his father talk about cultivators when he was very young, and he has always longed to become a cultivator.
But his father told him that he would have to wait until he was dancing like an elephant before he could sense spiritual energy, join the sect and become a cultivator.
So he has been waiting for that day to come.
"Father." Wu Qingce, who was lying weakly on the bed, shouted.
"What's wrong?" Wu Fengmian, who was accompanying him on the bed, asked.
"Didn't you say that you have to wait until the age of the dancing elephant... to become a cultivator?"
Wu Fengmian felt quite relieved to see that his son was not hysterical or clamoring for revenge.
So he picked up a wet towel from the copper basin and wiped the sweat from Wu Qingce's forehead, and said softly: "There are always some talented people in this world. They are born to break all kinds of
The rules have become the existence that everyone looks up to."
"Is that Yuan Xingteng younger than me?"
"Well, he is one year younger than you."
"So he's the gifted one?"
"That's right. Dad has been traveling around the world for so long, and this is the first time he has seen someone become a cultivator at such a young age. It is not unfair for you to lose to him."
"Then will there be a chance to defeat him later?"
"Of course, when you become a cultivator and work hard, you will definitely be able to defeat him one day. What you have to do now is to lay a good foundation."
"Okay! I will definitely work hard! Work hard! Work harder!"
After saying this, Wu Qingce finally burst into tears. For a person who had never lost before, today's battle was a huge blow to him. At the same time, it was also the first time that his self-esteem suffered such a major blow.
.
After learning this painful lesson, Wu Qingce is no longer pretentious and arrogant.
Practice until you can't get up every day.
Three years passed like this, and Wu Qingce's strength improved by leaps and bounds. He almost learned 100% of his father's hidden weapon skills, and could easily hit a target a hundred meters away with his eyes closed.
However, he was never happy about it.
Because he still can't absorb any spiritual energy.
Wu Qingce originally thought that even if he was not as talented as Yuan Xingteng, he was still much better than the average person. As long as he worked hard, he should become a practitioner before the year of the dancing elephant.
When he wakes up every day, he fully expects that he can absorb spiritual energy, but his wish is frustrated time and time again.
Finally, he understood.
He is just an ordinary person, at least when it comes to cultivation, he is no different from most people.
What invincibility...
It's all just a big spring and autumn dream he had.
Although he had never asked his father what kind of cultivation Yuan Xingteng was at this moment, no, it was not so much that he had never asked, but rather that he did not dare to ask.
Yuan Xingteng could knock him to the ground with one move three years ago. Now three years have passed. With his talent, he may have become stronger than he could even imagine.
Such an irreparable gap once plunged Wu Qingce into despair.
No talent, no matter how hard you work...
What's the use?
From then on, although Wu Qingce could not be said to have given up on himself, he no longer had the youthful spirit he once had, and he quietly buried the dream of being "invincible in the world".
Two more years later, Wu Qingce finally reached the age of dancing elephants, and one morning he sensed the presence of aura around him.
But he didn't feel any joy at that moment.
Although compared to ordinary people who cannot cultivate in their lifetime, his ability to sense spiritual energy is already a very powerful talent.
But so what...
At best, he can only be a foil to those geniuses, nothing more.
Through his father's relationship, he entered a sect called Guixin Sect. Although it was not a top sect in Fengzhou, it was still considered top-notch.
After that, he gradually became a disciple of Luan Xing Hall and began his cultivation career.
The reality was just as he imagined. His talent was neither high nor low. Although he had established a firm foothold in the hall with his excellent hidden weapon skills, there were many people who were better than him.
The days passed like this, and soon it was time for him to go down the mountain for the first time.
He didn't have any Iron Seal that he wanted to designate, so he was randomly assigned to a training team and saw his Iron Seal in the square.
"division……"
The moment he saw the iron seal, Wu Qingce felt himself shaken. Just as he was about to blurt out these two words, he suddenly forgot who the other person was.
But the iron seal suddenly walked up to him and smiled: "Have you forgotten who I am?"
"boom!"
When Wu Qingce heard these words, he felt as if his brain was exploding. The next second, his "life" seemed to be in acceleration mode.
It jumped to the time when I was issuing a challenge to my senior brother, and during the battle with my senior brother, I learned another way to become stronger.
That is to learn all kinds of mysterious arts!
Although I am not as good as you in cultivation, I can defeat my opponents with endless means.
In the next year, Wu Qingce kept wanting to go to other schools to learn Xuan Yi, but found that his talent in Xuan Yi was also very average, and he was slow to learn everything.
And because he didn't practice properly, his cultivation also fell behind.
This made him become more and more "ordinary", and he was not even considered an outstanding disciple in Luan Xing Hall.
'Is it really... that there is no way I can take it?'
Just when Wu Qingce was confused, Jiang Beiran appeared.
"You are eager to become stronger, right?"
When listening to his senior brother asking this question, Wu Qingce suddenly realized that there seemed to be two senior brothers overlapping in front of him.
And asked myself this question at the same time.
"yes!"
Wu Qingce answered loudly.
He doesn't want to annihilate everyone, and he doesn't want to spend his life in an ordinary way.
What he wants is vigorous, what he wants is...
Invincible!
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingce felt that his life had "accelerated" again.
The moment he took the Thunder Flame Body Tempering Pill, Wu Qingce clearly felt that his ordinary physique was finally no longer ordinary.
He finally stood on the same starting line as those geniuses!
Finally, his efforts will no longer be in vain!
"Thank you, senior brother!"
Wu Qingce expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he had already made up his mind to spend his whole life repaying his kindness.
"Looked up."
After hearing the senior brother's words, Wu Qingce slowly raised his head, but although the senior brother in front of him was a senior brother, he didn't seem to be a senior brother.
"Qing Ce, you have to remember that you have to become stronger for yourself, not to repay my kindness."
"Senior brother...I..."
Just as Wu Qingce was about to speak, life began to speed up again.
After possessing Lei Lingqi and Wanjun, Wu Qingce's strength increased by leaps and bounds, defeating Mu Yao and Mu Jiuri, a brother and sister known as geniuses.
Among them, Mu Jiuri was the best in the entire youth competition, showing terrifying suppressive power from the beginning.
But in the end he won!
Better than everyone's recognized genius.
From that day on, his reputation as the leader of the Youth Association spread throughout Fengzhou, and everyone recognized him as the most talented person among the younger generation in Fengzhou.
Just like when he was a child, people from all over the country have heard of his name Wu Qingce.
'I...can become as strong as them, no! I can become stronger than them!'
After this battle, Wu Qingce could be said to have completely restored his confidence, but this time, he did not become as arrogant as before, but cherished this hard-won opportunity.
After possessing the talent he most desired, Wu Qingce began an almost masochistic training.
Even if the body is overstretched, even if the spiritual energy is exhausted, even if the scene in front of you has become blurry.
But he still won't stop.
Even if it's just a little bit, he still wants to help his senior brother as soon as possible. He once had the dream of being "invincible in the world"...
He has also become the "right-hand man" who can become his senior brother as soon as possible.
For this reason, Wu Qingce not only risked his life during training, but also never missed the opportunity to challenge the strong every time.
The famous genius Xuan Ling, the Rentu who has killed thousands of cultivators under his command, the Xuan King who dominates an area, even if the opponent is Xuan Huang, Wu Qingce will risk his life to go up and break off two of his teeth.
He was too eager to become stronger, especially when he felt that his senior brother no longer needed him less and less, his desire to become stronger became even more urgent.
The opponents in the memory quickly passed before Wu Qingce's eyes one by one, and finally stopped in front of a man wearing a red and black robe.
"Cough...cough!" The man in the Luo robe had been dispelled of his mysterious energy at this time, and he could only squat on the ground with his sword in hand.
He glared at Wu Qingce with a sinister look and said, "If it weren't for this thunder spirit, you would never be able to defeat me!"
Hearing this sentence again, Wu Qingce was stunned again, just like the first time he heard it.
The man in the robe laughed loudly when he saw this and said: "Without this thunder spirit, you are nothing! You are just a little more talented than me, but remember, there are always people more talented than you.
Then the end will be the same as mine! Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!"
Listening to the hysterical laughter of the man in robe.
Wu Qingce seemed to see himself who had been defeated by Yuan Xingteng.
But Wu Qingce quickly shook his head, put away Wan Jun and said: "Talent does not determine everything, I will defeat them all through hard work!"
After saying this, Wu Qingce knocked out the man in robes when he tried to speak again.
…
Wu Qingce thought that he did not take the words of his defeated general to heart, but when he heard these words again, Wu Qingce found that these words had actually been stuck in his heart like a thorn.
Yes, since he was a child, he has firmly believed that hard work is worthless in the face of powerful talent.
Therefore, my rebuttal seemed so weak, and I knocked him out immediately because I was afraid that if he continued to speak, I would not know how to retort.
A person who has believed in the theory of innateness since he was a child actually said that he can defeat them through hard work.
joke……
'It doesn't matter... I have a senior brother, and he will definitely give me stronger talents!'
But when this idea came up, Wu Qingce shuddered all over again.
'Then what is my value...'
If senior brother can improve his talent, he can also improve other people's talents, so why him...
…
In the formation room, Jiang Beiran, who was playing the piano, suddenly frowned because he found that the lotus lantern burned faster, much faster than he expected.
'Inner demon...'
As long as you are a cultivator, you will inevitably have inner demons. No matter whether it is Xuanzun or Xuansheng, every promotion is actually to break through the inner demons.
It's just that Wu Qingce is not advancing this time, but reshaping his body and changing his fate against the will of heaven.
So he has no way out. If he fails, he will explode and die.
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Jiang Beiran changed his style of music, from calming his mind to inspiring.
'The rest is up to you.'
…
At this moment, Wu Qingce's "life" fast-forwarded again, and came to the moment when he and Qu Yangze broke arms.
He lost so completely.
Although in order to maintain the demeanor of a senior brother, he covered up all his losses.
But the thought couldn't help but start to grow in his heart.
He had obviously worked so hard, but he was still easily surpassed by this junior brother who started his career later than him.
This is talent.
And senior brother will definitely find more apprentices with this kind of talent.
So has he become a burden to his senior brother? Would it be more effective to use these elixirs and materials on others?
At this moment, his life not only did not continue to fast forward, but also stopped.
He was frozen on the eve of waiting for his senior brother to host his promotion ceremony.
'Am I really worthy...'
As this thought appeared, he suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain sweeping through his body. He raised his right hand and saw a black fire burning and gradually spreading throughout his body.
Wu Qingce wanted to put out the black fire, but the black fire grew stronger and stronger until there was only blazing black fire in front of him.
‘Is that the end of it… I really am… nothing more than that?’
"boom!"
Just when Wu Qingce lowered his hands, preparing to wait for his ending, the "life" that had stopped began to move again.
The formation door was pushed open, and the senior brother walked slowly to him, smiled and shook his head.
Then he reached out and hit him hard on the forehead.
"When did you learn to think so much?"
This "heavy blow" was like a strong wind blowing away the black fire on Wu Qingce's body.
"Think about what I said to you."
After hearing what his senior brother said, Wu Qingce raised his hands and scratched his head and asked.
"Senior brother, you have said so many things to me, which one did you say?"
"Think about it carefully, you can remember it."
At this time, Wu Qingce seemed to see three senior brothers overlapping each other, and they spoke together.
"Qing Ce, you have to remember that you have to become stronger for yourself, not to repay my kindness."
'For myself...'
Wu Qingce clenched his fists. He felt that his senior brother's words were very meaningful, but he didn't know how to understand them.
So just like usual, Wu Qingce smiled slightly.
'Why do you think so much? Just listen to your senior brother.'
"Brother! I'm going to become stronger!"
After bowing deeply to his senior brother, Wu Qingce walked towards the formation room.
