Chapter 2006 - 2009: Transcendent Martial Arts
As the airplane tore through the night sky and soared into the clouds, the petite girl who Shen Qiang had only glimpsed briefly did not travel with Shen Qiang and the others. Therefore, Shen Qiang still did not know if her beauty matched her face, but the exquisite ankle chain around her snow-white ankle left a deep impression on him.Though only three days had passed, everyone accompanying Shen Qiang to the Alchemy Conference was already quite fatigued.
Thus, it was very quiet on the airplane.
Shen Qiang sat quietly in his seat, holding the Jade Scroll left by the Dragon Group War God. The events of the past few days flashed through his mind like a movie.
In the Cultivation World, if you're not strong enough, nothing you say matters.
Some people think that a friendly face will earn respect, but that's not the case. Wang Dama at the village mouth smiles all day, yet no one respects him seriously, while the village chief maintains a stern face and is always held in high regard.
Thus, whether in the ordinary world or the Cultivation World, strength is the only standard that speaks.
The same words uttered by a weak person would just invite sneers and ridicule.
But if spoken by a strong person, the reaction would be completely different.
Wise, valiant, foresight—even at the least, those are the reasonable evaluations.
This is reality!
Shen Qiang had no enmity with that Abyss Noble.
In fact, before the Alchemy Conference, the two had never even met.
Yet he intercepted Shen Qiang midway, with no disguise of his intent to kill.
In such circumstances, the Dragon Group War God showed up personally, and yet the result?
The Dragon Group War God advised Shen Qiang to stay far away from that fatty, unless absolutely necessary.
This actually left Shen Qiang a bit disappointed.
Because deep down, Shen Qiang hoped that people in the Cultivation World could be reasonable, and everyone would be harmonious.
But clearly, that was a pipe dream.
The power behind the fatty is strong indeed, strong enough to remain fearless even before the Dragon Group War God, strong enough that even though Shen Qiang is already a Medicine King, and despite Heshenghe's three hundred Great Demons and the impending merger with Qingyun Sword Pavilion, he still dares act recklessly in front of Shen Qiang.
In such situations, it is clearly impossible to expect that fatty from the Abyss to suddenly turn over a new leaf and become a well-behaved good person; not only that, but there are many others like him in this world.
They never consider themselves; any slight inconvenience is always blamed on others.
Trying to reason with them is merely self-humiliation.
To resolve friction with such people, there is only one solution.
Become strong!
Strong enough that a mere glance would frighten them into silence, and the world would be peaceful.
They would turn around and reason with you.
Examining the Jade Scroll closely, the words of the Dragon Group War God before his departure emerged in Shen Qiang's mind.
"I will publicly declare you as my disciple, which will make many secretly plotting harbor concerns. If you wish, you can call me master; if not, you can call me senior. Keep at it; I look forward to the day when a single snort from you will make the entire Cultivation World tremble."
"Got something on your mind?" Sitting beside him, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu gazed tenderly at Shen Qiang.
Looking at her, Shen Qiang smiled: "No, rest a bit. Once we return to the Provincial City, the day will already break, and there will be much more to busy ourselves with."
Ke Bizhu nodded and then said: "You should rest early too, don't overthink things; rushing won't make a fatty overnight, don't force it for anything."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang fell silent.
Gazing again at the Jade Scroll in his hand, Shen Qiang candidly didn't really covet the War God's cultivation techniques.
Because both the Medical Saint inheritance, the War God himself, and Shen Qiang himself already realized it.
Everyone is different, no cultivation technique can fit everyone.
And right now, in terms of cultivation techniques, the Longevity Technique and Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra clearly fit Shen Qiang better, or else the Dragon Group War God wouldn't say that his own method of cultivation would be useless for Shen Qiang, as would his combat moves.
Thus, inside Shen Qiang's heart, he felt some resistance to Dragon Group War God being a convenient master.
After all, in this world, the Dragon Group War God is a peak power, an Earth Immortal, astoundingly strong.
Yet in the Immortal Realm, his status likely wouldn't even match that of the Medical Saint's doorkeeper, let alone Qingxuan or the Central Province Empress.
So practically speaking, being the Dragon Group War God's disciple is an unmatched honor for others, but for Shen Qiang, it's actually a downgrade, a regression in status.
"Boss."
While Shen Qiang was pondering, the burly swordsman sneaked his head over with an eager look, saying, "The Dragon Group War God is your master? He is the one I admire most; he is a legend in the Cultivation World and the only unprecedented mighty one who doesn't know Techniques yet is terrifyingly powerful."
His words casually reminded Shen Qiang of the advice to keep away from that fatty, leaving him irritable: "Just a reputation, he's not all that powerful anyway."
No sooner had Shen Qiang spoken.
At the back, Zhan Deyuan turned around in astonishment, looking at Shen Qiang: "Boss, are you joking? The Dragon Group War God never uses Spells, yet hasn't been defeated in a hundred years. He never loses—whether against one or many. In battle, his Martial Arts prowess far exceeds his cultivation!"
These words left Shen Qiang startled.
Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu also nodded upon hearing this, saying: "Correct, the Dragon Group War God is obsessed with Martial Arts and doesn't know any Spells. Frost, rain, snow, lightning, earth, wood—all kinds of magic, he doesn't use them. He only knows Martial Arts, but he's truly never lost. In terms of cultivation, few in the Cultivation World could rival him, although not nonexistent—but in Martial Arts, there's absolutely no one stronger."
The burly swordsman's eyes lit up, saying: "Yes, Boss, it's said that ever since the Dragon Group War God entered the Mixed Element Realm, he has never lost. Whether facing Dao Fruit Stage or Harmonization Stage powerhouses, the most astonishing and discussed fact is that he won against a peak Mahayana Realm powerhouse right after entering the Dao Fruit Stage!"
Their words made Shen Qiang's heart skip a beat. Even though Shen Qiang is incredibly formidable, he has no confidence in defeating Earth Immortals right upon entering the Dao Fruit Stage.
Moreover.
Shen Qiang's unbeatable streak is related to his Thunder Element True Essence Techniques.
Yet the Dragon Group War God knew no Techniques, meaning his Martial Arts likely had long surpassed mortal imagination.
"So Boss, could you talk to the Dragon Group War God for me? I'd like him to take a look at my sword technique, and if he can offer a few pointers, I will surely soar to greatness!" the burly swordsman looked at Shen Qiang expectantly.
Shen Qiang furrowed his brows, hesitating momentarily: "I'm tired, let's discuss it later."
Disappointment instantly crossed the faces of the burly swordsman and Zhan Deyuan.
Meanwhile, gripping the Jade Scroll, Shen Qiang poured True Yuan into it.
"Transcendent Martial Arts? If that's truly the case, calling you 'master' is no harm!"
