As the saying went, an arm could never twist a thigh.
But another saying declared that it was better to break than bend.
Qin Xiao had stiffened his neck and refused Du Busi outright, leaving Du Busi no choice but to change his approach.
He brought out a vast quantity of medicines and resources.
Qin Xiao took one look and understood what they were worth.
The pills could bring him to the Soul Saint level, while the various materials used by soul engineers could help him become a Level 7 Soul Engineer.
He had to admit, he was tempted.
After accepting so many benefits from Du Busi, Qin Xiao ultimately chose to follow him into the Star Dou Great Forest to train, hoping to quickly master combat arts through this method.
"Our Body Sect's core combat art is called unity of heaven and man. It's an extremely profound ability. In this state, you can develop the connection between your body, your martial soul, and heaven and earth to a tremendous degree.
It lets every attack you make carry the power of heaven and earth.
Just imagine how terrifying that would be."
As Du Busi spoke, his face brimmed with pride.
Qin Xiao, however, curled his lip.
Unity of heaven and man was indeed powerful, but what Du Busi described was only its most rudimentary stage.
True unity of heaven and man meant becoming the will of the world, an existence akin to the plane will, able to reach across the entire Douluo Continent with a single thought.
"Boy, do you think it sounds difficult?"
At that moment, Du Busi noticed the change in Qin Xiao's expression and assumed he was feeling pressured.
Qin Xiao smiled faintly. Was he joking?
Could such a minor art possibly put pressure on me?
Regardless
