Heavy Snow

Creak.

Yang Chen opened the door and looked at the thick snow on the ground, feeling inexplicably refreshed.

"What a world draped in silver."

He praised, taking a step out into the vast white world.

The snow was still falling, and in the freezing cold, Yang Chen and the other disciples seemed oblivious. Some rolled in the snow, others skied, and some, filled with playful energy, had snowball fights and built snowmen.

After eating, Yang Chen found two wooden boards, tied them to his feet, and grabbed two wooden sticks as poles. He wanted to try the advanced sport of skiing.

"Excellent, today I will be the skiing champion!"

Yang Chen looked at his simple attire and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Senior Brother Yang, what are you dressed as?"

"Senior Brother is going skiing, but judging by how excited he looks, it seems like it's his first time."

"I'm not bragging, Senior Brother, but if you want to learn the technique, you have to look at me."

"I don't like the sound of that. Shall we have a competition?"

Seemingly influenced by Yang Chen, many disciples who saw his outfit also felt the urge to try.

Someone's eyes flashed with shrewdness, sensing a business opportunity. They immediately called over a few close friends, whispered for a moment, and decided to pool money to sell high-quality snowboards.

A clever male disciple realized this might be a good chance to get closer to the soft and sweet junior sisters.

Yang Chen was unaware of this. He had already stepped onto his board and was speeding away.

Standing on the board, feeling the extreme rush of the biting wind against his face, Yang Chen burst into laughter.

At first, his movements were a bit clumsy, but with his strong physique, after skiing for four or five li, he could already attempt some more difficult maneuvers.

The residential area was tens of li from the spirit fields, and the terrain sloped downwards. When he encountered a small hill, he let out a whoop and boldly charged up it.

The board leaped off the small hill, soaring several zhang into the air. Yang Chen controlled his body, performing several consecutive 360-degree spins in mid-air, before landing steadily on the ground.

"What was that?"

On the way to the spirit field area, Xu Qingqing was advancing at an elegant pace. Hearing the commotion behind her, she turned and was stunned.

Yang Chen didn't notice her and whizzed past.

"Why is he acting like a child who hasn't grown up?"

Xu Qingqing had this thought, and soon felt a hint of temptation, wondering if she should try playing like that tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen had arrived at the spirit field area. After a quick inspection, he returned to his wooden cabin to cultivate.

Cultivation in the Qi Martial Realm emphasizes fullness, where "qi" refers to strength. Martial artists at this level primarily use qi to control their strength, but qi is finite. When the breath in their heart dissipates, their strength wanes.

So, how can one make their qi last longer and improve a martial artist's sustained combat ability?

It is by integrating qi into the blood, allowing qi and blood to merge. This is the Blood Martial Realm. After reaching the Blood Martial Realm, a martial artist's sustained combat ability significantly increases; as long as qi and blood do not decline, they can continue to fight.

A month had passed since Yang Chen broke through to the Qi Martial Ninth Level, but he still hadn't reached the point of "qi fullness." This required patient effort and time to build up.

However, this did not affect his strength growth. To date, his punching force had reached over 15,000 kilograms, and he was not far from reaching the state of "qi fullness."

After cultivating for a long time, Yang Chen walked out of the wooden cabin and began to practice his sword techniques on the snow.

His talent for swordsmanship was extraordinary. Both of his current sword techniques could be applied in combat, significantly boosting his fighting power.

However, both sword techniques were still in the introductory stage, still some distance from the minor accomplishment stage.

The day passed quickly. After inspecting the spirit fields, Yang Chen returned to the residential area.

He actually didn't want to make the round trip, but with Zhou Han's threat looming, he felt it was better to be cautious.

As soon as he returned to the residential area, he was dumbfounded.

Outside the mess hall, several disciples were selling snowboards. He walked closer and saw many sets of ski equipment laid out on the ground. The designs were exquisite, far superior to what he had made himself.

At this moment, many people were gathered nearby, inquiring about prices.

"How much are these snowboards?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother. The main body of these snowboards is made of high-quality spirit wood, and the quality is quite excellent. Today's special offer is only 1 Spirit Crystal per set."

"What are you talking about? 1 Spirit Crystal! You might as well rob me."

"Senior Brother, you jest. Just now, several Senior Brothers bought a few sets, some of which were gifts for Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters. I saw that the Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters were very happy after receiving the snowboards."

The disciple inquiring about the price's eyes lit up. Painfully parting with 2 Spirit Crystals, he said, "Give me two sets!"

Yang Chen looked at the exquisite designs and couldn't help but recall a scene:

'Senior Brother is also skiing?'

'Yes, yes.'

'Has Senior Brother's snowboard been around for a while?'

'...'

He let out a cold snort, refusing to allow himself to see such a scene. He stepped forward and said loudly, "Give me a set too."

Seeing Yang Chen arrive, the disciple selling skateboards' eyes lit up. He immediately said, "Senior Brother Yang! We were inspired by you to come up with this idea. How could we possibly charge you Spirit Crystals? Senior Brother, just pick whatever you like, take whichever one you want!"

So considerate!

Hearing this made Yang Chen feel very comfortable. He pointed to one of the skateboards, and the disciple selling them immediately brought it over to him.

"Senior Brother, take it. Junior Brother will give you another set."

The disciple selling skateboards directly gave Yang Chen another set of skateboards.

Yang Chen was a little surprised. "Are you giving me two sets so I can switch between them?"

"No!" The disciple selling skateboards winked. "These are prepared for Senior Brother to give as gifts."

"Nonsense!"

Yang Chen feigned anger, but inwardly, he protectively shielded the skateboards behind him. However, he naturally wouldn't take them for free. He took out 3 Spirit Crystals from his bosom and handed them over.

"Junior Brother, you have a bright future. Consider these 3 Spirit Crystals my investment in you. I hope you grow bigger and stronger!"

The disciple selling skateboards was visibly moved, his eyes even reddening a little.

Yang Chen turned and left. But after walking not far, he saw Xu Qingqing walking towards him.

Their eyes met, and Yang Chen instinctively shielded the skateboards behind him.

Xu Qingqing's mouth twitched. She said irritably, "Senior Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid I'll ask for a skateboard?"

Yang Chen's face felt a little hot. He gave a dry laugh and placed the skateboards openly in front of him. "Junior Sister, they're selling them over there. Hurry up and go buy a set. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."

Saying that, before Xu Qingqing could speak, he had already vanished in a flash.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Xu Qingqing's eyes. This Yang Chen was truly detestable. She hadn't intended to ask him for one at all, but seeing his stingy demeanor made it seem as if she were someone who would forcefully take things.

It was too much.

She walked forward, also intending to buy a skateboard. But to her dismay, in the short time she had hesitated, the skateboards had already sold out.

The disciple selling skateboards said awkwardly, "Ahem, well, Senior Sister, Senior Brother Yang has two sets. Why don't you go find him and buy one?"

"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, I'll give you mine!"

"Yours isn't nice-looking. Senior Sister, use mine!"

Some male disciples volunteered, but Xu Qingqing politely declined their offers and left, somewhat dejected.
