My Martial Arts Level Never Drops

Chapter 459: Chapter 209: Killable?

Qin Fang was not only younger than him, but his tongue was also incredibly sharp...

...And that line was the result of him exercising restraint upon restraint upon restraint.

He was only mocking his opponent for picking on the weak, for not daring to face a truly strong foe.

If he had truly let loose, Qin Fang was afraid his opponent might have coughed up blood on the spot...

...However, he was representing the Sect in this battle, so naturally, he couldn’t be too uncivilized.

The dignity of a Guiyuan True Inheritance disciple had to be maintained.

Even so, the phrase ”Golden Rainbow Sharpness” spread like wildfire.

...It was estimated that in the future, if disciples from the two sects were to get into a verbal dispute while out in the world... a disciple from the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect would only need to casually drop that line, and any Golden Rainbow Disciple who knew the context would probably have a complete meltdown.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Qin Fang. He had already returned to Guiyuan Valley, where he was receiving a hero’s welcome.

Qin Fang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It took him a considerable effort to get the disciples to disperse.

Senior Sister Wen’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Fang, sighing with admiration. ”I’d never seen you fight before, Junior Brother. I never expected... that when you did, it would be so earth-shattering. I don’t think I would even be a match for you.”

Of course, Senior Sister Wen had also been at the scene to watch today’s battle.

Hearing this, Qin Fang was exasperated. ”Senior Sister, don’t make fun of me...”

Wen Suxin’s Cultivation was at the Fifth Realm of True Essence, the Guizhen Realm!

...Qin Fang could fight and win against someone one realm above him, like Zhao Yuanling, but there was absolutely no way he could leapfrog three realms.

The difference in the quantity and quality of their True Essence was just too vast.

His speed, strength, and defense would all be completely crushed.

Even his Profound Nether Nature would find it difficult to erode a True Gang that was three realms higher...

Seeing Qin Fang’s wry smile, Wen Suxin chuckled softly, then sighed. ”But honestly, if I were at the True Essence Third Realm, I definitely wouldn’t be your match, Junior Brother...”

’This junior brother of mine is terrifying,’ she marveled internally.

’His talent for comprehension, in particular, is simply inhuman!’

’...Watching him use those Leaf Skills today, it was obvious they had all broken through the First Layer and entered the Second Layer!’

’You have to understand, Leaf Skills aren’t that easy to cultivate.’

’If they were easy... how could so many disciples be stuck, unable to even reach the entry-level of a Body Technique Leaf Skill?’

And it’s the combination of ’Root and Leaf’ that determines a person’s actual combat prowess.

Today, that Zhao Yuanling was clearly superior to Qin Fang only in the density of his True Essence... In every other aspect, he was completely crushed.

Body Technique Leaf Skill, Attack Leaf Skill, Defense Leaf Skill, and even his True Essence Nature...

That was why his defeat was so swift and decisive.

And none of these various Leaf Skills were easy to cultivate.

Each one required an enormous amount of time and energy to comprehend and practice.

’...Under these circumstances, when you look at Qin Fang, who joined the Sect just three years ago, he hasn’t just cultivated the Body Technique, Attack, and Defense Leaf Skills all to the First Layer.’

’Even his Root Skill has reached the Second Layer, and his Cultivation has reached the True Essence Second Realm.’

But Wen Suxin knew that he wasn’t just cultivating these four things... he was also simultaneously cultivating the Investigation Leaf Skill and the Concealing Breath Leaf Skill!

And his attainments in both were extremely high!

For instance, right now, she could no longer see through to Qin Fang’s specific Cultivation level.

As for his Investigation Leaf Skill... he had demonstrated it in full when he was guiding the Inner Sect Disciples on the Mirror Flower Water Moon!

...Actually, that Elder Lu really hadn’t been wrong.

Qin Fang, compared to the Guiyuan Lineage... was actually a better fit for the Jinghong Lineage!

...His talent for Leaf Skills was too heaven-defying.

Wen Suxin had never seen anyone besides Qin Fang who possessed such terrifying talent in the way of Leaf Skills.

...Even the current Jinghong Hall Master probably couldn’t compare!

...The Jinghong Hall Master was a peerless expert polished by the passage of time.

If one were to only consider talent for cultivating Leaf Skills, he was probably a level or two below Qin Fang!

Wen Suxin’s praise made Qin Fang increasingly embarrassed, until he finally fled in a panic.

”Senior Sister, I’m going to see Master!”

He then shot into the air and was gone.

Senior Sister Wen burst out laughing.

When he arrived at the Peak Vein where his Master was in seclusion, his Master had already detected him and told him to come directly to the summit.

Before the familiar tea table.

”Greetings, Master.”

Qin Fang bowed in salute.

”Come, sit.”

His Master beckoned to Qin Fang with a gentle smile.

Qin Fang walked forward.

His Master poured him a cup of tea, and Qin Fang quickly and respectfully stood up to receive it.

His Master watched him with a smile. ”I already know about what happened today. You did well... That display of your ’Sharpness’ was just right.”

Qin Fang scratched his head sheepishly. ”This disciple didn’t actually intend to show off, it’s just... that Zhao Yuanling was too brazen. As an outsider, he was acting arrogantly in our Sect and bullying our fellow disciples... As a member of the Sect, this disciple couldn’t just sit by and do nothing...”

His Master’s gentle gaze filled with even more approval. ”Mm, that’s very good. Actually, I could see your hesitation before... That’s normal. When I was your age, I was the same. Hidden Blade and Simple-mindedness. Unwilling to reveal your trump cards and true strength unless absolutely necessary.”

”But...” His Master paused, then said softly, ”Only much later did I understand that there are some things... if you don’t protect them at the moment, when you think back on it later... it’s already too late.”

These words left Qin Fang stunned. His Master’s speech seemed to carry a profound, hidden meaning.

His Master stared at the horizon, a rare, dazed look on his face, as if recalling something from the distant past.

After a long while, his Master came back to his senses and smiled. ”In any case, this time, you did very well... I am very satisfied.”

Qin Fang was slightly dazed, but in the end, he could only nod.

The master and disciple chatted for a few more moments before the Master asked if Qin Fang had anything else... It was clear that their earlier conversation had touched upon something in his heart, and he needed some time alone.

But Qin Fang said, ”Actually, there is one more thing I need to ask you, Master.”

”Oh? Go ahead.”

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Fang asked, ”Master... that Zhao Yuanling... can he be killed?”

His Master started, looking at Qin Fang with astonishment.
