The Blood Transference Realm. It was a realm Qian Hai had failed to enter despite training his entire life.
Yet in Qin Yang's mouth, it sounded as simple as eating and drinking.
"Young Master, are you really confident?" Qian Hai could not help asking one more question.
"Probably."
"But I don't know how to advance yet, so I wanted to ask Elder Qian for advice first."
Qin Yang abruptly changed the subject and chuckled.
"Young Master, you..." Qian Hai nearly failed to catch his breath.
"Don't get so worked up, Uncle Qian."
"I mastered the Arhat Fist in one month. Give me another month, and I'll definitely advance to the Blood Transference Realm."
"I'm a one-in-a-hundred martial arts prodigy."
Qin Yang declared confidently.
"This..."
Qian Hai thought of the Qin Yang from a month ago and found himself speechless.
Breaking through to Condensing Force in a single month—calling himself a one-in-a-hundred martial arts prodigy was indeed no exaggeration.
He steadied his emotions. "Young Master, if you want to break through to the Blood Transference Realm, you must at least cultivate the Arhat Fist to great accomplishment. Only then can you accumulate enough qi and blood."
"After that, you'll need a Blood Moving martial art before you can break through to the Blood Transference Realm."
"Furthermore, cultivating Blood Moving martial arts is extremely dangerous. You must circulate your qi and blood once successfully for it to count."
"When I was young, I was too impatient and failed at Blood Moving, damaging my meridians. I never had another chance to enter the Blood Transference Realm."
Qin Yang's expression turned serious. "Then Uncle Qian should know a Blood Moving martial art, right?"
Qian Hai said gravely, "I know one. But I recommend that you cultivate your Lineage's inherited Blood Moving martial art."
"You must understand that the Blood Moving realm is also known as the martial path's Foundation Establishment realm."
"Because on the path of martial arts, one moves qi and blood to strengthen oneself."
"The more vigorous one's qi and blood, the smoother the road of martial arts will be in the future."
"At this realm, one can rapidly enhance one's qi and blood. Some even deliberately suppress themselves, only breaking through after reaching their own limits."
"And your Lineage's inherited Azure Wave Blood Transference Method is exceptionally formidable."
Qin Yang nodded thoughtfully. "Then I'll look for this Azure Wave Blood Transference Method first. If I can't find it, I'll come ask Uncle Qian for guidance."
Qian Hai nodded, unable to resist another warning. "Young Master, you must be cautious."
"Even if you fail to break through, it's no great matter. We can leave Linjiang City first."
"With your talent, you'll soon rise again like a storm returning to the land."
Qin Yang agreed on the surface.
But inwardly, he did not take it seriously.
The reason he cultivated so quickly, aside from the Proficiency Panel, was that the Qin Family had deep enough foundations to provide him with all the meat and herbs he needed.
It was foreseeable that as his cultivation grew higher, the money he needed to spend would only increase.
If he lost the Qin Family's foundation and went elsewhere, he would have to start all over again.
Besides, how could Qin Yang possibly hand over what belonged to him to others?
After Qian Hai left.
Qin Yang did not rest for even a moment. He went to the small courtyard and continued training.
He still needed 120 repetitions before the Arhat Fist reached great accomplishment. He had to seize every moment.
He trained until deep into the night. Exhausted to the bone, Qin Yang did not go to sleep. Instead, he hid in a corner by the back gate.
Before long.
Another furtive figure appeared silently and slipped out through the back gate.
"So it was you, brat."
Inside the Twin Snake Gang's main hall.
The lamps burned brightly.
Gang Leader She Qing was a middle-aged man with a bluish birthmark resembling snake scales on his left cheek.
He sat in the seat of honor, his face dark and gloomy.
The corpses of Huang Dazhou and the others lay neatly arranged in the hall.
Besides She Qing, the Twin Snake Gang's other two Hall Masters were also present.
One was Zhao Mengzhuang, a brawny man nicknamed Black Snake.
The other was an ugly woman—Jiang Mei, known as Poison Snake.
"Gang Leader, was Huang Dazhou really beaten to death by that rich young wastrel Qin Yang with three punches?"
Zhao Mengzhuang remained deeply suspicious.
"Hmph. I wish it were fake too."
"But it happened in full view of everyone. Hundreds of pairs of eyes saw it."
"What do you think?"
She Qing's face was icy.
"We originally only wanted to test whether Qin Dongsheng had truly gone missing."
"Who would have thought Qin Yang would suddenly jump out?"
Jiang Mei frowned.
"Now, we can only hope Qin Dongsheng really has gone missing."
"Otherwise, we'll truly be in trouble."
She Qing's gaze flickered.
Who could have imagined that Qin Yang had hidden himself so deeply?
That level of scheming alone was enough to make people wary.
"Gang Leader."
A trusted subordinate entered and whispered several words into She Qing's ear.
"Let him in."
She Qing snorted coldly.
Not long after.
A black-clad man wearing a conical hat entered the hall.
"Sun Erhu, I thought you didn't dare come."
She Qing sneered.
The man in black removed his hat as well, revealing a young face.
"Gang Leader, I really didn't know..."
"Qin Yang deceived everyone!"
"You have to believe me!"
Sun Erhu was extremely agitated.
"You've been in Qin Manor for three years. You didn't even know Qin Yang practiced martial arts?!"
She Qing slammed his palm onto the table.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Sun Erhu and seized his throat.
His fingers were long and bony, knotted with strength like an eagle's talons.
With that one grip, Sun Erhu felt as though his neck were about to be snapped.
"Gang Leader, I have another piece of news."
"Let me... first."
Sun Erhu spoke in broken gasps.
"Gang Leader, let's hear what he has to say first."
"He's here already. He can't run away anyway."
Jiang Mei said softly.
Only then did She Qing loosen his grip.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Sun Erhu coughed violently.
Bang!
Zhao Mengzhuang kicked him again.
"Spit it out!"
"Otherwise, I'll twist your head right off!"
Sun Erhu scrambled up from the floor and hurriedly said, "This afternoon, I overheard a conversation between Qin Yang and Qian Hai."
"It turns out Qin Yang only appeared to be going to the pleasure quarters to listen to music. In truth, he was cultivating a Dual Cultivation Technique."
"He broke through to the Blood Transference Realm not long ago!"
As soon as those words came out.
She Qing's expression changed. "Qin Yang is already Blood Moving?"
"You brat, are you lying to us?!" Zhao Mengzhuang viciously grabbed Sun Erhu by the collar.
"I heard it with my own ears."
"He was even planning to ambush Gang Leader She when you came to his door."
Sun Erhu said urgently.
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
"Are you certain Qin Yang is a Blood Moving Martial Artist?!" She Qing stared fixedly into Sun Erhu's eyes.
"I heard him say it. I can't be sure whether it's true or false."
"But I remember that a month ago, he would faint just from practicing his fists."
Sun Erhu's mind was in complete chaos as well.
Zhao Mengzhuang said disdainfully, "You think someone who killed Huang Dazhou with three punches would faint from practicing fists? He was obviously putting on an act."
Jiang Mei added, "If we hadn't gone to make trouble at his door, no one would have known Qin Yang knew martial arts. His scheming is far too deep."
She Qing rubbed his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Go back to Qin Manor. Don't concern yourself with Qin Yang. Just keep watch for news of Qin Dongsheng."
"He has been missing for a long time. If he still doesn't show himself in the next few days, then something probably really happened to him."
"Remember, don't expose yourself."
Sun Erhu nodded hurriedly, put his conical hat back on, and only then left.
"Gang Leader, are we really going to clash head-on with Qin Yang?"
Zhao Mengzhuang frowned.
"It's fine. I've heard a little about Dual Cultivation Arts."
"Such arts are crooked and wicked paths. Their qi and blood are hollow and floating. They may be enough to bully those at Condensing Force, but against a true Blood Moving Martial Artist, they are bound to lose."
She Qing sneered.
After Qin Yang killed Huang Dazhou, there was no room left for reconciliation between the two sides.
Even if Qin Yang truly was a Blood Moving Martial Artist, they could only fight to the death.
