The Pursuit

After arriving at the Elite Training Camp, Xu Qing only took four months to cultivate from Junior War General to a junior War God.

He skipped three levels.

Other Warrior might never achieve such a feat in their entire lives.

"I was originally planning to stay for the full five years, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore. One year should be enough," Xu Qing thought to himself.

The Elite Training Camp was originally designed to cultivate War God gods, so it is also called the War God Preparatory Camp.

"Linlin said she hoped I could also protect others. With great power comes great responsibility. It would be a waste to just stay comfortably training in the Elite Training Camp all the time."

"So, I'd better go out and hunt monsters, go to the places where monsters are most rampant, and become a true guardian," Xu Qing muttered to himself.

He remembered everything Qin Lin said and never forgot it.

Strength is for protection.

With power, one can choose to protect only those close to them, or to protect more people; it's up to the individual.

"When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven." This was Xu Qing's philosophy.

"Oh dear, even a lazy person like me is thinking about this kind of thing one day. Is this... growing up?" Xu Qing chuckled.

Footsteps sounded behind me.

Xu Qing glanced back and said, "Future brother-in-law, there's no one else here, you don't need to show off your physique."

At that moment, Luo Feng, shirtless, had just come out of the basement.

"I wasn't showing off my physique," Luo Feng chuckled.

After using the Dragon Blood, his strength increased greatly, and his physical attributes were close to those of War God Level, so he was naturally in a great mood.

"Future brother-in-law, you weren't just using Dragon Blood in the basement, were you?" Xu Qing guessed what was going on.

Luo Feng nodded. "That's right. Now that we have the Dragon Blood, we should use it first, lest something unexpected happens and it gets stolen."

"Who dares to steal anything? I'll beat them to a pulp..." Xu Qing jumped down from the railing.

He paused, then asked, "Future brother-in-law, you spent the whole night in the basement, didn't you? Did you smear all the Dragon Blood on yourself at once?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect the Dragon Blood to be so potent. It hurt so much I almost passed out," Luo Feng nodded, still feeling lingering fear when he thought about it.

If you asked him to do it again, he might not be willing.

"Future brother-in-law, you are amazing!" Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, giving Luo Feng a thumbs up.

"Xiao Qing, didn't you use it too? Was it when you were singing in the bathroom that day? I didn't expect you to pull through. You're more capable than me," Luo Feng recalled.

That day, Xu Qing was yelling in the bathroom, and he thought Xu Qing was in a good mood and was singing, even though it wasn't very good.

Xu Qing rolled her eyes. "It wasn't singing, okay? I was applying Dragon Blood. It hurt, and I applied it in four separate applications, not all at once, so of course I didn't faint from the pain."

"Huh? You can do that?" Luo Feng was stunned.

"Otherwise, what do you do, like applying it all over your body at once? I can't stand that," Xu Qing shrugged.

Even if it was done four times, he was in excruciating pain, because he was genuinely afraid of pain.

Luo Feng looked constipated. He should have used it in several applications. Anyway, the instructions didn't say it was wrong or that it had to be applied all at once.

As it turns out, he was still not as smart Xu Qing.

"So, Xiao Qing, what level has your physical fitness reached now?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

"I just broke through to the War God Level," Xu Qing replied, there was nothing to hide.

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, but not utterly astonished.

Since Xu Qing obtained the Dragon Blood two months earlier than him and cultivated in the Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber for so long, it's normal for him to break through to the War God Level before him.

His own physical abilities have also approached the War God Level after using the Dragon Blood, and he believes he will break through it soon.

"I'm finally going to catch up with this freakish brother-in-law. Although I'm still far behind in terms of physical fitness and skill level, I'm confident I can catch up completely," Luo Feng said with high spirits.

It has to be said that having a formidable competitor ahead of you is quite motivating.

"Hey, hey, future brother-in-law, what are you spacing out for? Are you starting to copy me?" Xu Qing waved her hand in front of Luo Feng spacing out.

Luo Feng snapped out of his reverie and coughed lightly. "Xiao Qing, what are your plans now? You've already broken through to the War God Level, are you going to stay in the Elite Training Camp?"

"I want to graduate early and then go to a place where monsters are rampant to hunt them," Xu Qing said.

Luo Feng frowned. "You've only just broken through to the War God Level, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

He understood what Xu Qing meant: to go to the front lines and fight the monsters. But that was too dangerous; it wasn't hunting, it was slaughter.

"Besides, you're not a legitimate Spirit Controller either," Luo Feng added.

A true Spirit Controller can manipulate weapons to fight, but Xu Qing doesn't follow this path, meaning he hasn't fully utilized the most powerful aspects of Spirit Controller.

"Even if I'm not a proper Spirit Controller, I'm still very strong at controlling the God-Splitting Silk, okay? Future brother-in-law, don't underestimate me, okay?" Xu Qing's eyes widened, clearly unconvinced.

Luo Feng shook his head. "Why do you insist on going to the front lines now? Cultivate for a few more years, and once you become Invincible War God, you can go to the front lines too."

"Because I'm already very strong, don't worry, I'm not going to die. I'm Archer, okay? I'll rarely fight head-on. I'll snipe, do you understand?" Xu Qing said, arms crossed.

"It's still dangerous. That's a battlefield, not a hunting ground. What are you thinking?" Luo Feng stared at him.

"Oh dear, what Warrior doesn't encounter danger? It's normal. I'm a War God now, and I have the Black God Set. What danger could I possibly encounter?"

"Besides, with great power comes great responsibility. I'm strong enough to protect those around me, and I can protect others as well."

"Look, Sister Xin is safe, Linlin is safe, and everyone around me is safe. This way, I can protect other people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste?" Xu Qing said slowly and deliberately.

After listening to Xu Qing's words, Luo Feng fell into deep thought. He had always cultivated and struggled for himself, for his family, and for love.

With great power comes great responsibility—a phrase he used to consider just an empty saying.

But now, he had a slightly different idea.

"Perhaps he is right. With great power comes great responsibility. I was too weak in the past, so I was indifferent to these words. But now, I have become stronger," Luo Feng pondered.

Xu Qing's words deeply affected him and made him think about many things.

"Hehe, future brother-in-law, don't you think I'm right? Aren't you impressed with me?" Xu Qing laughed.

Luo Feng looked at him, his gaze softening considerably. "We'll talk about it after you've convinced your Sister Xin and that Teacher Qin."

Xu Qing patted his chest confidently, "Simply put."
