For the next two months, Qin Lin stayed by Xu Qing's side, combining vacation with cultivation and receiving guidance from Xu Qing.

Then, Xu Qing would send her to the island to hunt monsters and strengthen her power.

After two months, Qin Lin had mastered the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to the sixth level, and her power was nearly five times greater.

At this level, their physical fitness has basically reached the standard for breaking through to the War God Level. Most War God Level Warrior have cultivated the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade are at roughly this level.

The remaining three levels are even more difficult, especially emphasizing physical fitness and comprehension. Many High-level War God are stuck at the seventh and eighth levels.

It seems that no Warrior has ever fully mastered the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, which is why the Thor was the Warrior with the highest power level back then.

That day, Qin Lin was practicing her swordsmanship on the island when she suddenly heard a beast's roar.

"Hmm? It's Xiao Qing's side," Qin Lin looked up in that direction.

This beast's roar was quite peculiar; unlike the cries of those monstrous beasts, which were sharp and violent, it was filled with majesty, as if it were some ancient sacred beast.

Filled with curiosity, Qin Lin walked over and came to the other side of the island.

On the beach, a figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless colorful lights. These colorful lights converged and transformed into eight colorful arrows.

Eight colorful arrows circled around Xu Qing, slowly rotating like a Divine Halo.

A blazing light emanated from the eight arrows, which, like miniature suns, emitted different auras and shook the atmosphere.

Roar!

A soft yet resounding roar rang out, causing Qin Lin's soul to tremble slightly.

"That is..." Then, Qin Lin saw that the eight small suns began to change.

One after another, majestic beast shadows emerged from the small sun, as if hatching from a shell, and their bodies rapidly grew larger.

A White Tiger strode through the void, roaring to the sky, its golden pupils gleaming, its sharp aura slicing through the void. A green Azure Dragon coiled and meandered, its body surrounded by blooming flowers and plants, brimming with life.

A Black Tortoise stirs up rivers and seas, commanding all waters; a Qilin sits in the center of the four directions, and with a single step, mountains and rivers shift, and land and sea alternate.

Phew!

Bird calls followed closely behind, one divine bird after another flapping its wings, raising its head and crying out to the sky, shaking the heavens.

One divine bird was surrounded by lightning, its wings like lightning blades, its eyes like purple lightning, sharp and incomparable; another divine bird was engulfed in raging flames, as red as clouds; another divine bird rode the gale, traversing the nine heavens; another divine bird was shrouded in light, its pupils having four eyes.

Upon seeing this, Qin Lin's mouth dropped open in utter shock. "What is this?"

Even if she didn't understand them at all, she could tell that these creatures were ancient mythical beasts from Huaxia mythology.

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin; the other three are a bit harder to identify," Qin Lin murmured.

She couldn't understand how Xu Qing could produce these things; it was simply too fantastical.

Eight mythical beasts, each with a distinct and lifelike appearance, surrounded Xu Qing, as if they were real living beings.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Lin saw the eight divine beasts roar in unison, transforming into patterns that resembled murals imprinted in the void, full of divine charm.

These eight patterns glowed and floated behind Xu Qing, forming a ring. The ring consisted of two concentric circles: an outer circle with five patterns and an inner circle with three patterns, rotating clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.

This appears to be a true Divine Halo, radiating brilliant light and exuding a chilling aura.

Xu Qing in this state looked like a true deity, surrounded by Divine Halo, possessing a faint divine quality, untouched by worldly affairs.

Brush!

Xu Qing opened his eyes, his gaze brightening, and a look of joy appeared on his face. "Finally, I've taken the first step on the Arrow Path."

After reaching the Planetary Level, Xu Qing has been working on refining his archery skills, transforming them into Arrow Path archery, a path that will lead him to success.

Now, he has taken the first step, a step he calls the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path.

The Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path are a technique in which Xu Qing integrates all eight natural forces he can control into his archery skills, transforming them into divine beast forms and endowing them with spirituality.

The reason he was able to do this was because Xu Qing had gained insights into, understanding of and mastery of these eight natural forces.

Among them, the inspiration from the Natural Pure Land enabled Xu Qing to successfully combine the power of nature with archery, thus creating the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path.

"Xiao Qing, what is this?" Qin Lin walked over when she saw Xu Qing wake up.

"Haha, Linlin, this is a technique I created, the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path. How about it, isn't it cool?" Xu Qing said with a proud expression.

A strange light flashed in Qin Lin's eyes, "The Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path?"

From the name, she could vaguely understand that archery was combined with those mythical beasts.

Moreover, Xu Qing was surrounded by a halo, truly like Divine Halo, exuding an aura of grandeur.

"That's right, the Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path. How about this, Linlin, I'll demonstrate it for you and you'll see," Xu Qing had finally figured out this technique, so how could he not want to show off in front of Qin Lin?

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing wrapped his arms around Qin Lin's waist, a thought flashing through his mind.

Phew!

In an instant, the cry of a bird rang out, and within the Divine Halo, the image of a divine bird lit up.

Xu Qing and Qin Lin were immediately enveloped by a blue divine bird. With a slight flap of its wings, it instantly transformed into a blue streak of Flowing Light, accompanied by a gale, tearing through the void and reaching a height of a thousand meters.

"So fast!" Qin Lin was shocked. She hadn't even reacted yet, and they had already flown to such a high place. The whole process took less than a second, in the blink of an eye.

"Hehe, that's right. If it weren't amazing, why would I have bothered to figure it out? And this isn't even the most amazing part. The most amazing part is like this," Xu Qing laughed.

As he spoke, he unfurled the Azure Cloud Bow, drew back the bowstring, and a blue arrow swiftly materialized, carrying the aura of a raging wind.

"Linlin, watch closely, this arrow will tear the sea apart," Xu Qing chuckled, but his eyes were sharp as lightning.

Before Qin Lin could react to his words, she saw the arrow fly out and transform into a gigantic, hundred-meter-tall azure divine bird in mid-air.

The bird's cry shook the heavens. The azure divine bird had sharp eyes, as if it were alive, and its wings whipped up endless gales that tore everything apart.

It was like an arrow that never turned back, plunging headlong into the sea.

Boom!

The sea was ripped open with a huge gash, and the azure divine bird, carrying endless celestial winds, tore through the seawater and surged toward the seabed with unstoppable force.

Qin Lin was stunned, her mouth agape. Before the arrow had even finished its trajectory, a massive tsunami erupted in the sea, as if an earthquake had struck.

Hundreds of meters high waves surged and crashed in all directions, one after another.

Not far away, some small islands were completely submerged.

As for the sea monsters, they were just like tiny insects, powerless to control their own destiny; some were even crushed by the seawater.

Looking at that arrow again, the azure divine bird had already torn open the deep sea, continuing downwards, with the seawater behind it beginning to flow back in.

"Tsk, the power is still far from enough," Xu Qing said, dissatisfied, as it was much less than he had expected.

This is likely because his Eight Divine Aspects of Sword Dao, is still in its infancy, and there are many aspects that need further refinement.

Otherwise, in Xu Qing's imagination, this arrow could truly tear the sea apart, create a rift in the sky, and prevent seawater from flowing back in for a short time.

Seeing Xu Qing's dissatisfaction, Qin Lin didn't know what to say. Indeed, the world of geniuses is hard for ordinary people to understand.

At this moment, the azure divine bird had already rushed to the seabed, destroyed everything around it, and then exploded.

"It's alright, at least it reached the seabed, and its power is decent," Xu Qing said, neither satisfied nor disappointed with the result. He would just continue to improve it in the future.

"What is that mythical beast?" Qin Lin asked curiously.

"Azure Phoenix, harness the power of the wind," Xu Qing replied.

Qin Lin thought for a moment, "What about the other two?"

"Sky Roc, harnessing the power of thunder; Chongming Bird, harnessing the power of light," Xu Qing knew which two she was asking about.

"Are there different attributes?" This was the first time Qin Lin had heard of this.

Xu Qing nodded. "That's right, beings Beyond War God will awaken abilities of various attributes."

"I see," Qin Lin understood. No wonder Xu Qing was able to summon those mythical beasts.

However, what she didn't know was that, generally speaking, when Warrior reaches the Planetary Level, they can only awaken one ability, but Xu Qing has eight, which is a special case.

"This Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path is still too weak in its initial stages. It seems I need to hurry up and perfect it, or I'll be laughed at," Xu Qing muttered.

Fortunately, he had some clues in mind, so he wasn't completely clueless.

Qin Lin was both amused and exasperated. "Who would dare to laugh at you?"

Moreover, she felt that the power alone was already terrifying enough; how many Warrior on Earth could pierce through the ocean with a single arrow?

At this point, the tsunami began to subside slowly.

Moo!

Suddenly, a cow's roar came from afar, and several thousand meters away, a huge creature emerged from the sea.

It was a King Level manatee, its entire body covered in gray scales, with a single black horn on its head.

Xu Qing's arrow just pierced the sea, causing a tsunami that destroyed the burrow of this King Level manatee. Naturally, it was furious and wanted to know what had happened.

"This is... a King Level monster," Qin Lin exclaimed in surprise, apparently alarmed by the tsunami.

"You've come out here to die," Xu Qing said, drawing back the bowstring once more. A purple arrow, crackling with lightning, materialized.

Sizzle!

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall purple Sky Roc with sharp eyes, looking down upon the Heaven and Earth. It soared through the heavens and arrived before the King Level sea cow in the blink of an eye.

The bird's cry pierced through gold and split rocks. The purple Sky Roc seemed to have been resurrected from mythology, its divine power overwhelming. Its sharp claws cracked the head of the King Level manatee.

Its purple wings, like blades, tore its massive body apart, staining the sea with blood.

Thus, a King Level sea monster perished.

Qin Lin watched this scene with astonishment; it was truly breathtaking.

She had previously been taken by Xu Qing to the deep sea to observe how he sniped King Level monsters, but it was still not as shocking as seeing Xu Qing kill a King Level monster with a single arrow.

Simple, brutal, and extremely domineering.

Unbeknownst to many, the monsters that were considered catastrophic and even King Level monsters in the eyes of humanity have become so weak.

"Xiao Qing, you are my pride," Qin Lin cupped Xu Qing's face and kissed her forcefully.

Xu Qing has fulfilled all the things she once said to Xu Qing and the expectations she had for him.

"This is a one-time thing, and it won't happen again," Xu Qing muttered. He had to take the initiative in this kind of situation.

Qin Lin smiled radiantly, "Okay."

Afterwards, Xu Qing took Qin Lin back to the island, and the Divine Halo behind him disappeared at his will.

By the end of August, Qin Lin's vacation was over, and it was time to return to the Jiangnan Base City.

"Xiao Qing, be careful when you're on the move," Qin Lin hugged him.

"OK, don't worry. By the way, Linlin, how about we have a baby? I heard kids are quite fun," Xu Qing said.

Qin Lin rolled her eyes at him. "Who told you kids are fun? Besides, I think you're trying to distract me with the kids. Don't even think about it. You're still a kid yourself."

Xu Qing wasn't embarrassed at all when his little scheme was exposed. "I disagree with that. I'm twenty, a grown man, with two wives. How could I be a child?"

"Yes, you're only twenty. You're definitely not a child anymore, you're more like a big kid," Qin Lin said, looking at him teasingly.

Xu Qing curled her lip, "Then you and Ruoruo are bad women, liking a big kid like me, you should be arrested by the police."

"Pfft... Alright, I'm going back now. Don't worry about the baby for now. I'm busy. I have to go to work, cultivate, and keep an eye on my naughty little husband," Qin Lin kissed him and turned to enter the cabin.

The silver-gray Smart Fighter Jet sped away into the distance.

"Tch, I'm doing this for your own good, okay? If you don't want it, then don't," Xu Qing shrugged. He was finding it increasingly difficult to fool them these days.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo were both incredibly clever in his presence.

"Never mind, I'm going to continue my journey as the Sea King of the Sea! A man should conquer the stars and the sea!" Xu Qing looked at the boundless ocean, his spirit soaring.

Moreover, he must continuously refine his Eight Divine Aspects of the Arrow Path, making it a supreme art of Arrow Path.

Beep beep!

Suddenly, a message came through the Communication Watch from Hong, the Master of the Dojo of the Limit Martial Arts Hall Academy.

"Why did the Master of the Dojo suddenly message me? Let's see what's going on," Xu Qing said, opening the email with a surprised expression.

The message says that some treasure has reappeared on the island in the lake that was previously abundant with Spirit of Vegetation.

Now, the five major powers on Earth, along with other top forces such as the Limit Martial Arts Hall, the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and the Underground Alliance, have all focused their attention on that place.

Furthermore, it was said that a Beast Emperor had appeared there, and that there was a great secret.

"Beast Emperor? It must be the strongest monster. Currently, there are only two Beast Emperor on Earth, one is the Octopus Beast Emperor, whose true form is an octopus, and the other is the Thunder Dragon Beast Emperor, which evolved from an electric eel and is of a higher level."

"These two Beast Emperor are at least at the fifth level of the Planetary Level, and may even be at the sixth or seventh level, but they cannot exceed the seventh level, because the Master of the Dojo said that he and Thor were confident that they could kill these two Beast Emperor."

"A Beast Emperor actually appeared there, the third Beast Emperor, indeed not simple," Xu Qing rubbed his chin.

First there were so many Spirit of Vegetation, then Long Vine creatures, and now a new Beast Emperor —there must be something underground.
