Chapter 129 Preparations
When Ho Ming got back to his room in Sword Peak, he pondered on the difference between himself and Lin Fan.
He was always only able to chase behind Lin Fan.
The mission wouldn't have been successfully completed if not for Lin Fan's quick thinking.
Was he what his father had been saying all along? He thought.
But after a few moments, he knew that wasn't true.
Everyone has their own trajectory in life.
Some are born with silver spoons.
Some are dealt the worst hand they could ever imagine.
The only thing that matters was what they did with what they had.
Lin Fan came back from near death and had even surpassed him in cultivation level.
Ho Ming clenched his fist and vowed to catch up to Lin Fan.
Ho Fu's words pushing him hard reverberated in his mind.
With his newfound determination, Ho Ming sat in lotus position and meditated.
Time is of the essence.
He was at Qi Concentration Level, stage nine.
Just one stage short of trying to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Level.
It didn't last long as someone knocked on the door.
Ho Ming sighed and said, "Come on in, the door isn't locked."
Creak.
The wooden door creaked open, and Zhao Rui stood at the door.
She had two swords in her hands.
"These are your rewards; the sect master had asked me to hand them over to you personally."
Zhao Rui said as she passed Ho Ming the swords.
"This sword with its bright red blades is made from special steel from a thousand-year-old fire pit.
"It should work well with your Thunderous Exploding Sword Technique.
"The other is made with the demonic beast core of the Wind Streak Lion.
"It shall enhance the strokes of the Qing Feng Sword Style.
"Both are Spirit Level weapons, much better than what you have right now."
She explained the attributes of the swords to Ho Ming.
"Thanks, senior martial sister. I'm afraid I might not be worthy of them," Ho Ming looked down and said.
Zhao Rui shook her head, smiled and said, "Why the sudden loss in confidence?
The last time she did so, she nearly had to call him 'Pa Pa'.
But when Lin Fan handed her his wooden slab, she regretted it when she saw the balance.
Five hundred contribution points.
What in the world did he do to gain so many contribution points.
Most disciples could only get thirty contribution points in a month.
This Lin Fan was able to get more than they could in a year.
"Done?" Lin Fan had to try and pull his wooden slab away from her hands.
Zhang Xi had to let go of it unwillingly.
She could only console herself that Lin Fan, as the Physique Peak's disciple, will help it to be prosperous again.
...
With the Blood and Qi Restoration Pills settled, Lin Fan went back to the wooden hut.
Previously when he tried his Eight Trigram Beast Transform strike, he didn't have enough Qi to sustain the projected beasts.
Now that he is at the Foundation Establishment Level, it's time for him to try again.
He stood outside the open clearing in front of the wooden hut and took out his hammers.
Focusing on his dantian, he directed his Qi into one of the hammers.
The hammer glowed red, and Lin Fan swiped it at a tree trunk.
An illuminated Ember Wolf leaped out of the hammer and lunged at the tree trunk.
With its heat, the tree trunk got charred and the smell of burning wood filled the air.
The Ember Wolf then bit on the tree trunk.
Causing it to break and the tree fell.
Success.
This time still with enough Qi left for four more strikes.
The leap from Qi Concentration Level to Foundation Establishment Level was huge.
Lin Fan then took a Blood and Qi Restoration pill and recovered his Qi.
After his Qi was fully replenished, he tried to practice the Eight Trigram Hammer Throw next.
He directed his Qi to stick to the hammers and threw one of them.
With the Qi he directed it to change direction mid-flight and went at the ground.
Thud.
The mud splattered all over as the hammer plunged deep into the ground.
Success again, but this time it took half of his Qi.
So, he had better be careful with using this strike.@@@@
