Qin Huai and Reihom
Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Zhang Haoyue, who was smiling warmly on the futon.
“Senior Brother Zhang, you said that your dream was to unify the Nine Dragons sect?” someone from the audience shouted.
“I can’t say that I’m unifying it, but I’m trying to make the Zhang and Li families reconcile. Only by joining hands can the Nine Dragons sect become better and better.” Zhang Haoyue laughed. “Even if it’s not me, it’s fine if it’s anyone.”
“Tsk, I think this person can only be Senior Brother Zhang. To put it bluntly, I’m not convinced by anyone else in the Zhang family except for Senior Brother Zhang!” The man snorted.
However, it didn’t cause any disgust. On the contrary, a few people repeatedly pandered to it, which immediately became the response of the crowd.
Zhang Haoyue smiled bitterly and said humbly, “I’m still far from that. The bone pattern realm is just an entrance ticket to the world of the strong. I’ve only just peeked into a corner. Also, my grasp of controlling force is still very shallow.”
In the crowd, Li Buxing stood up. “Senior Brother, can you tell us about ‘force’?”
“I heard yesterday that the Twin Extreme sect recently accepted a traitor from Pingnan as their disciple. That person is only in the fifth refinement realm, but he has already mastered the control force. Does that mean that we can also control the force?”
“That’s right, that’s right. I’ve also heard of this matter. It shocked me for ten thousand years.”
“That guy seems to be called… Reihom.”
When Qin Huai, who was in the crowd, heard this familiar name, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He didn’t expect that guy to survive and even join the Twin Extreme sect. And from what they were saying, not only did Reihom survive, his level had even risen.
Zhang Haoyue’s eyes also flashed with surprise. “Then this person is indeed a genius.
“Everyone’s life is different, and because of their growth experience, they create different auras. Those in a higher position were like lions and tigers, showing their might without being angry. The rich were mostly kind, but they were as precious as mountains. A martial artist is full of energy, often killing people, surrounded by an ominous light…
“These are the imposing mannerisms that have been engraved into the bones because of the long baptism.”
His gaze swept across the crowd. When he saw Qin Huai, his gaze paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth revealed a deeper arc.
He continued, “It’s the same for us martial artists in the bone pattern realm. However, we’ve turned those businessmen and officials into cultivation techniques!
“For example, the long breath technique of the True Path sect’s Nine Dragons sect… It tries to engrave the nine white dragons in the body onto the bone armor one by one.
“This process is extremely dangerous. It’s a delicate task, equivalent to using the white dragon to attack yourself.
“If you use too much force, breaking bones is a small matter. If your aura were to be disrupted, it would explode in your body and you would most likely die on the spot.”
“How high is it?” someone asked.
“Half.”
Hearing this, the faces of the people turned pale.
Zhang Haoyue laughed and said, “Therefore, many nine refinement martial artists who cherish their lives do not dare to try to break through. That’s why the elders often tell us to be careful when we cultivate. You have to control the details of the white dragon.
“This isn’t just for you to gain battle experience. It’s also for you to be able to step into the bone pattern realm one day.”
A tall man stood up and asked again, “Doesn’t that mean that it’s possible to master control force at the first level of blood refinement?”
“Logically speaking, it’s possible.” Zhang Haoyue didn’t deny it. “One needs to have enough experience to gain momentum. Level nine blood refinement requires sufficient ‘experience,’ and only with enough ‘experience’ can one take on the momentum.
“Force is very heavy. Even if ordinary martial artists with vitality can successfully tattoo their bones, they will be crushed by force very quickly if they have a trace of force.
“So, there’s a fifty percent chance of a nine refinement martial artist dying, let alone a first refinement. It’s basically certain death.”
Hearing this explanation, there was a burst of silence and amazement in the crowd.
“Genius. That Reihom is definitely a genius.”
“They’re both from Pingnan City, but someone is only slightly better than Reihom in terms of cultivation level.”
“Indeed, I don’t think I need to explain the difference between a person who can comprehend ‘control force’ and a person’s realm.”
In the crowd, a little fatty with a token on his waist had a contemptuous look.
“Cough cough…”
Someone poked the little fatty and said in a low voice, “Qin Huai is right behind you.”
“So what if he’s behind me? Even if he’s in front of me, I would still say the same thing. If I can’t win, I can’t win. He’s a…”
The little fatty’s voice came to an abrupt end as he looked at the figure in front of him. He stammered for a long time but could not finish his words.
He blushed and didn’t even dare to look at Qin Huai.
“Brother Qin, this kid is the unruly son of my fourth uncle’s family. He’s used to being arrogant, so don’t take it to heart.” Zhang Haoyue quickly got up and walked to Qin Huai’s side. “Why aren’t you apologizing to Brother Qin? When bBrother Qin was in Pingnan City, he was the best at poisoning and killing people without anyone knowing.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
The little fatty’s apology did not have the slightest hesitation. He then straightened his back, turned around, and ran.
“Brother Zhang, please don’t believe the rumors from Pingnan. I’m not proficient in poison. I’ve only dabbled in it a little and can’t even be considered to have entered the rudiments.” Qin Huai’s face was solemn.
“Hahaha. It seems that I’ve been rude.” Zhang Haoyue put his arm around Qin Huai’s shoulder in an intimate manner. Then, he half-pulled and half-pushed Qin Huai to the front and looked at the crowd.
“Reihom’s talent is extremely high. For two years, he was the number one person in the younger generation of Pingnan. It was only when Brother Qin rose to power that Reihom was defeated by Brother Qin and gave up his position as number one.
“Therefore, everyone, please do not doubt Brother Qin’s talent.”
