Guidance

After exchanging blows for a while, Xu Qing, perhaps feeling bored or thinking it was enough, called a halt.

"Brother-in-law, your foundation is actually not bad, but how should I put it, your other aspects are too poor," Xu Qing said to him while yawning.

"Could you explain it more clearly?" Luo Feng knew that he must have noticed his problem.

"Well, let's put it this way, brother-in-law, do you think the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade is essentially a sword technique or a martial arts method?" Xu Qing asked him this question.

"Is it a sword technique or a cultivation method?" Luo Feng pondered. "It should be both."

"That's the objective fact, but what is your understanding of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade? Or rather, what do you think is its core and essence?" Xu Qing asked again.

Luo Feng fell into deep thought; clearly, he had never considered this question before.

After Luo Feng pondered for a while, Xu Qing finally spoke, "It's about how to better control and utilize power. Extending that further, it boils down to two words: exerting force."

"The key and essence of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade lies in exerting its full power."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Luo Feng felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.

"Being able to unleash power exceeding basic strength using basic strength is a Force Application Technique. The Nine-Fold Thunder Blade is like that. Now that you've reached the third level, you've already mastered this technique."

"However, brother-in-law, your grasp of this technique is too poor, or rather, your understanding is inadequate. Do you think that you can't unleash the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade without using a sword?"

"If I told you to use your hands and feet instead of a knife, would you still be able to generate so much force? That's your problem; your understanding is too one-sided."

"Even without a sword, the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade is still the Nine -Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. It can also be transformed into the Nine-Fold Fist Technique or the Nine-Fold Leg Technique. It's the same thing. As long as the core and essence remain unchanged, it's called the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade regardless of whether you use a sword or not," Xu Qing explained patiently.

It can be said that Xu Qing's explanation enlightened Luo Feng, as if he had seen Heaven and Earth.

"So that's how it is. My understanding was so one-sided. I didn't understand the true Nine-Fold Thunder Blade at all," Luo Feng finally realized.

"Haha, well said," Yang Hui walked over, "With this level of skill, you could already be a mentor in the Training Camp."

"I'm not going to be a mentor," Xu Qing said with a look of disdain. He preferred to sleep in until he naturally woke up every day.

Yang Hui smiled and shook his head, then looked at Luo Feng, "Was the harvest big?"

"I've learned a lot," Luo Feng said, looking at Xu Qing. "Thank you, Xu Qing."

Sometimes, a single conversation with a wise person is worth more than ten years of study. His discussion with Xu Qing had indeed benefited him greatly.

If he had to rely on his own hard work and endless practice, he would probably have taken many detours.

"Don't mention it, after all, you're my future brother-in-law. Good luck, I have high hopes for you," Xu Qing patted his shoulder.

Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated; this future brother-in-law was truly quite likable.

"Senior Brother Xu Qing, could you give me some pointers?" Heng Xia seized the opportunity to ask Xu Qing for guidance.

"Sure, I'm free right now anyway, let's go," Xu Qing agreed.

Heng Xia was very excited, and then she and Xu Qing also practiced together.

Afterwards, Xu Qing pointed out his problems and offered some suggestions.

After everything was settled, Xu Qing and the other two were about to head back.

As Xu Qing walked out of the Limit General Hall building, he greeted Luo Feng, "See you later, brother-in-law!"

After saying that, Xu Qing got into his car and left.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, so you're Senior Brother Xu Qing's brother-in-law?" Heng Xia asked in surprise.

"It's still a long way off," Luo Feng shook his head.

Heng Xia smiled and said, "Once you, Senior Brother Luo Feng, enter the Elite Training Camp, many things will be different."

"Maybe. Speaking of which, what is Xu Qing like at school? Does he always spend time with his sister Xu Xin?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

When Xu Xin was filming with him, she rarely mentioned Xu Qing's situation.

"I'm not too sure about that either. After all, we're in different majors and different colleges, so we basically never see each other. But I do know one thing: Senior Xu Qing has a girlfriend, and she's a teacher in the college."

"In that case, Senior Brother Xu Qing must be spending a lot of time with his girlfriend," Heng Xia said.

"Teacher and student?" Luo Feng asked in surprise.

He had only heard Xu Xin mention it briefly, saying that Xu Qing had a girlfriend at school, but he didn't expect her to be a teacher.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, are you surprised? Actually, I was quite surprised when I first heard it, especially since it was that teacher who pursued Senior Brother Xu Qing."

"That teacher is very beautiful, and she's also Warrior, War General Level, and a member of the Limit Martial Arts Hall. I heard that she fell in love with Senior Brother Xu Qing at first sight, and they got together afterward," Heng Xia said with a smile.

"Love at first sight..." Luo Feng sighed, thinking to himself, "Wasn't that how it was for Xu Xin too?"

However, that teacher won Xu Qing's heart in no time, while he, due to various factors, couldn't even establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Xu Xin.

Strength and status are the two things he lacks most right now.

"Just wait, I will stand before you squarely, and then no one will be able to stop us. Elite Training Camp, don't let me down," Luo Feng said, a sharp glint in his eyes.

By this time, Xu Qing had already returned to his residence.

"What should we have for dinner tonight? Let's just have the same thing as yesterday. Linlin probably won't be back until tonight, so it looks like I'll have to eat all the good food by myself," Xu Qing said with a regretful expression, though that wasn't really the case.

As a result, Qin Lin returned in the evening.

"Linlin, why did you leave work early today?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.

Qin Lin looked at him with a half-smile, "Did you think you could eat something delicious all by yourself today?"

"No, absolutely not, look into my eyes," Xu Qing blinked, speaking without the slightest hesitation.

"Trying to get away with being cute? Dream on. There's something about you I don't know," Qin Lin cupped his face, rubbed it, and then kissed his pouty little lips.

"Really, no, you should trust your husband a little, okay?" Xu Qing continued to play dumb, refusing to admit anything.

Qin Lin smiled, too lazy to call him out on it; he was acting like a child.

"When are we going to headquarters?" Qin Lin changed the subject.

"I'll arrive at the airport at 2 PM on the 28th of this month," Xu Qing replied.

Qin Lin nodded. "Then there are only about twenty days left. Don't go to class anymore. I'll ask for leave too, and I'll stay home and spend some time with you."

"Okay, okay, Linlin, you're so sweet," Xu Qing kissed her.

"Who else would I treat well if not you, my little husband?" Qin Lin hugged him and sat down.

Once Xu Qing goes to the Elite Training Camp at headquarters, they will only be able to meet on their phones and won't be able to reunite until January or February next year.
