Young Man, Do You Want to Become Strong? (3)

"But I like you too..." Jiang Nannan sighed, hesitated for a moment, but kept those words to herself and didn't say them out loud.

For a girl, especially a six-year-old girl, in her most difficult and helpless time, a male friend saved her mother's life and her uncertain future by imparting knowledge. Even if she didn't know the price of that knowledge at the time, it still didn't stop her from feeling a warm sense of security.

However, faced with that marriage agreement and the pursuit of those two Inner Court students, she really thought she needed to think carefully about whether she had a tolerant enough heart to forgive Ye Qingcang's clear statement of infidelity.

Being devoted ≠ being unfaithful ≠ being promiscuous.

Some people just have a lot of luck with Peach Blossom Luck.

There's no stopping it.

Being devoted to only those you are unwilling to wrong is called being faithful.

Being willing to invest your heart in someone you like is called being unfaithful.

No one wants to be indebted to anyone, nor is anyone willing to put their heart into it; such behavior is called being promiscuous.

Ye Qingcang is at most unfaithful.

It's a far cry from being promiscuous.

The truly promiscuous type is like Dai Mubai, who falls in love with every woman he meets, finds twins to amuse himself, and indulges in debauchery; he is completely driven by lust.

So, feeling she needed to think things over, Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment before changing the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and gently smoothed things over for Ye Qingcang, saying, "By the way, you said before that you wanted to teach Junior Brother Huo a couple of tricks. How about it, do you need me to find you a quiet place?"

"Besides Yuhao, who else wants to learn?" Ye Qingcang noticed Jiang Nannan's hesitant reaction and understood that Jiang Nannan needed some time to process this fact. Therefore, he didn't press her further. "As I said before, anyone who wants to learn can learn a few tricks; now, I'd like to gather your opinions."

"Me!" Xiao Xiao raised her little hand. Being personally taught by a God Trial Taker was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "I'll learn whatever Brother Ye teaches!"

"Count me in?" Wang Dong raised his hand somewhat guiltily, his furtive manner suggesting he was hiding some unspeakable secret. "Although our Clear Sky Sect is descended from Deity, we don't actually receive the privilege of being personally taught by Deity. A little trick personally taught by a future Deity shouldn't mind if I learn it, right?"

"Of course I don't mind." Ye Qingcang casually lifted Jiang Nannan's arm, indicating that Jiang Nannan also wanted to learn. Even though everyone knew he was just going through the motions, this perfunctory approach still made Tang Ya and the others both laugh and cry, "What do Tang Ya and Bei Bei think?"

Tang Ya and Bei Bei exchanged a glance.

They exchanged glances.

Then, on behalf of Tang Ya and herself, Bei Bei made a serious promise, "If we learn it, we promise not to tell anyone!"

"It's alright, it's just a little trick."

"Whoever can learn it, that's their skill."

"If most Soul Master need to use these two insignificant tricks to widen the gap, then the Soul Master system is far too fragile."

"It's not that bad, it really isn't."

Ye Qingcang waved his hand, not taking Bei Bei's promise seriously.

Take a walk along the shore of Poseidon Lake.

He was also asking for Huo Yuhao's opinion, "I know a lot of things, and they're quite diverse; I have two ideas. The first is to learn according to your own needs, and the second is to teach you what I think you need. So, would you choose what you need or what I think you need?"

"Choose what Lord Ye thinks you need!" Sky Dream Ice Worm shouted in the Spiritual Space, "Don't question the judgment of a God Trial Taker!"

"I..." Huo Yuhao hesitated.

But hesitation itself is a form of response.

"Listen to yourself." Ye Qingcang heard Sky Dream Ice Worm's shouts and saw Huo Yuhao's reaction, but he still gave Huo Yuhao the choice. "What you need and what others think you need will always be different, just like you have to walk your own path. Anyone can only guide you but cannot do it for you."

"I..." Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, his resolve hardening. "I still want to choose what I need, not what others think I need!"

"Very good." Ye Qingcang nodded. "Then do you know what you need right now?"

"Physique!" Huo Yuhao recalled his fight with Wang Dong when he entered the academy, the fierce and narrow victory, and the pain of running while relying on willpower to drive his body. He continued to ponder, then thought of his Soul Skill. They had no offensive or defensive capabilities, only a support-oriented map-opening effect. "I need an offensive method that surpasses my current level, or a means to protect myself. I have the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, so dodging isn't a problem, but if I can't dodge, I'll definitely be met with my opponent's Thunderclap Academy strike..."

"Offense as defense, or defense as offense..." Huo Yuhao had a comprehensive understanding of himself, so Ye Qingcang didn't need to add anything unnecessary, "Regarding physique, that is, physical fitness, I will pass on two secret techniques to you later. If you can master them, your physique will definitely be comparable to Beast Spirit Soul Master of the same realm; as for techniques, considering that your current physical fitness is just average, and your Martial Soul Spirit Eyes is not Martial Soul that is good at close combat, I don't need to worry about your mental strength. So, that leaves non-physical techniques..."

"We're here." Jiang Nannan stopped and interrupted Ye Qingcang. Pointing to the circular training ground with a diameter of over 150 meters, she explained, "This is one of the training grounds of the Shrek Academy's Outer Court. I've already booked this training ground with my credits, and I use it as a place to practice my qi and blood and martial arts."

Ye Qingcang followed Jiang Nannan into the training ground.

Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and the others followed Ye Qingcang in.

He looked around and surveyed his surroundings.

Then, he turned his attention to Ye Qingcang.

"A long time ago, I learned four techniques for harnessing the power of heaven and earth."

"Later, because I found that the driving force of these four techniques was missing some necessary elements, I revised these four techniques again."

"It has become a cultivation technique that can be driven by Soul Power."

Earth, water, fire, wind.

"It corresponds to the four types of boxing techniques, and it is also the stance for performing the techniques."

"Even though I haven't used these for many years."

Ye Qingcang stretched his limbs, raised his foot and stomped the ground. A spherical boulder as tall as a person rose from the ground. Ye Qingcang pinched it from a distance, and two steel balls shattered the boulder, falling into Ye Qingcang hand and swirling around. "Earth Control, the movements are mostly based on Hong Family Fist, with a few variations, but not many. The advancement path is Metal Control, and there is another advancement path, which is to combine it with Fire Manipulation Art to advance to Lava Control."

The two steel balls trembled in Ye Qingcang's hand, transforming into a short dagger like flowing water. Following Ye Qingcang's will, it constantly changed shape. "When you master the Earth Control Art, you can control it without a fist stance. The upper limit depends on your Soul Power. Level 10 Soul Power Soul Power you to control about 50 jin of earth, level 20 allows you to control about 200 jin, Soul Power 30 allows you to control about 800 jin, and Soul Power 40 allows you to control about 3200 jin. Each time, it increases by a factor of four. This is my limit, but I'm not sure if it's your limit..."

Before Ye Qingcang could finish speaking...

He changed his boxing stance.

With the power to swallow rivers and seas, it embraces Void.

Strands of water were created by Soul Power.

Following Ye Qingcang's moves, it transformed into a water ring and floated beside Ye Qingcang.

Ye Qingcang simply pressed down, and dozens of ice shards as sharp as blades flew out, piercing through the steel plate Ye Qingcang had previously formed using the Metal Control Art. With a flick of his wrist, the water rings surrounding him instantly transformed into dozens of high-pressure water guns, shattering the steel plate to pieces. "Water Control Art, the movements are like Tai Chi Fist, and there are two advancement paths: one is Ice Control, and the other is the more forbidden Blood Control. The upper limit also depends on your Soul Power, and the steps can also be simplified, without the need for a fist stance, a glance or even a thought is enough to drive it."
