BoW: Martial World c2

After registration was done the trio started walking back.

Xiao Tian Long's name already started to spread, he noticed that the elders recorded his name and were extremely shocked to see his martial talent grade.

Anyway, he knows that he will be put in the spotlight very soon and he will be able to enjoy amazing life in a martial arts universe world.

"Before we go our separate ways there is something I wish to talk about." Tian Long spoke to the Lin duo.

Both of them looked curiously at him.

~~~

"Zhu Yan will be coming after you, and I dislike him, he will be one of those who will send minions after you, before you say anything let me explain where this conversation is going." Xiao Tian Long said as he saw Lin Ming was about to interrupt him.

"He has the background which gives him resources to progress in his pursuit in martial arts."

As Xiao Tian Long said that with a hand wave a leather pouch appeared in his hand, both Lin's looked at him with awe, they never saw anything like this!

"While my martial talent grade is only medium third, I am genius in everything else." He casually threw the leather bag up and then caught it, the duo heard the sound of some sort of pills inside of it.

"Inside this bag are medical pills which help cultivate and heal the user's exhaustion."

"I will give this to you Lin Ming, in turn, I want you to beat him, in an official duel, and show him that people with simple backgrounds have the right to cultivate and learn Martial Arts." He gave the leather pouch to shocked Lin Ming.

"I can't accept just a generous gift! Such pills are priceless!" The teenager said, and Lin Xiaodong nodded with his chubby face.

"Precious to you, but I cook them every day…" Xiao Tian Long snorted as he pulled out another bag and gave it to dumbstruck Lin Xiaodong.

"Here some for you as well, I want that stomach to be gone, or I will make it disappear, By chopping the fat off, slice by slice." He said with a sinister smile, which made Lin Xiaodong sweat buckets.

"S-Sure thing brother Long! I was thinking about starting to train seriously!" The fatty nodded quickly several times.

"Wise choice, brother Dong, remember each time you are close to giving up just remember why you practise that much, it always helps me." 

Lin Xiaodong slowly nodded, Xiao Tian Long can see a fire start to burn in his small eyes.

"While I can't help you guys achieve Xiantian, as it's something people have to achieve on their own, I can help you two achieve Houtian." He then pulled out two jade slips.

"These are Martial Skills meant for people to train in the Body Transformation stage, I have heard the ones they give away are rubbish this one will solve that issue." 

Lin Ming took it to send his essence into the jade, his eyes widened when he read the content of the jade slip.

"N-No way! What is this method!? It's incredible!" Lin Xiaodong said with a shocked expression.

"While it's okay, it's not that incredible, my one helps me understand the connection between a sword and its wielder, that's why I can use Sword Intent that early only by practising martial Arts for three weeks." He shrugged at the duo.

"You are amazing Brother Long! Are come from those mysterious families?" The fatty asked with an excited tone, it seems his fire was lid up.

Snort

"No, I come from a normal family, my mother works in the market and my father is a trader."

Both of them looked at Tian Long with utter shock.

"Then how you are got hand on these!?" Lin Ming asked with shock he had never seen anyone like this!

"I already told you that I am a genius, I made several copies of these, for this kind of situation." Xiao Tian Long shrugged casually.

Blowing both Lin's away, as they beyond one mountain there is another one! And beyond one heaven there is another!

"T-This is incredible! You truly are amazing Brother Long!" Lin Xiaodong said with awe, and his cousin slowly nodded as well.

"Good, then I suggest you guys should go and start practising the method, we have three months till the entrance test." After waving goodbye Xiao Tian Long walked away leaving the duo Lin who are staring at the jade slips they acquired.

~~~

What Xiao Tian Long gave to the duo was the original cultivation method Lin Ming cultivated in canon.

The 'Chaotic Virtues Combat Meridians', Tian Long did with this he used this method and created a sword-based method.

'Golden Sword Divine Meridians', as the cultivator progresses in cultivation following this will develops more and more powerful affinity towards sword.

Sword Intent, then Sword Qi energy, followed by Sword Qi domain.

Sword Qi energy will be manifested at Pulse Condensation while domain in Xiantian.

But for now, he decided to focus on reaching the Altering Muscle stage, he needs to hit at least 1000 jin of power.

~~~~~~ Week Later~~~~~~

"Thanks for coming with me Brother Long!" Slightly thinner Lin Xiaodong grinned at Xiao Tian Long.

"I asked brother Ming to come as well, but he is training like a machine since you gave him those pills." The fatty sighed saying that.

"Don't be shocked, he has as they say 'pure martial heart', he won't budge on such thing like this." Tian Long motioned towards the fair in front of them.

"Even so! this is Martial Fair!" Lin Xiaodong said with a huff.

'The fatty was right, the story already leaving its original route, Lin Ming should have been in this fair, but the resources I gave him made him focused on training that whole period.'

'But this is fine… After all, this is the time where I will see Qin Xingxuan…'

Tian Long internally smiled as he alongside Fatty were walking around, looking at weapons, rare herbs, pills, and Inscriptions.

"These inscriptions art looks interesting, it's similar to array art." Xiao Tian Long offhandedly mentioned that.

"Brother Long are know how to make arrays?" Lin Xiaodong asked with a shocked look.

"I do, I can make some basic ones at this moment, I need higher cultivation for better ones, once I reach Xiantian then I can make interesting ones." Tian Long casually mentioned that the fatty blinked several times hearing that, for his new friend Xiantian is something that he will reach, not if but when… he never has met someone this… either crazy or extremely confident to the point of being crazy.

"Don't look at me like that, Brother Dong. That is what it means to be a martial artist, one should not question himself can or can't he simply does." He shrugged at the fatty.

"Heaven doesn't care about your background or talent, they only care if you have the guts to chase the peak."

Once again Lin Xiaodong was awed by brother Long, from where is he pulling out these profound words!?

~~~

As they arrived at one of the squares they saw a disturbance in the crowd, he closely observed the behaviour, it was as if someone is approaching.

What they saw was a luxurious white carriage pulled by similarly white horses, but these horses looked similar to qilin, well more like a combination of horse and dragon.

"That emblem, a knight with golden spear, that's the Marshal Quarters." The fatty pointed out.

"Heh, that the big shots of Sky Fortune Kingdom, I doubt that the Marshall himself with come to a simple fair, it means one of his family members." Tian Long reasoned and fatty agreed.

Not long after that, the carriage stopped and a girl around their age came out, she was dressed in a white dress and had hip long black hair, with pure jade skin.

Tian Long's eyes widened seeing how beautiful she was, never before had he seen someone this beautiful.

He did see some pretty girls in the city for the past three weeks, but this girl takes the top.

This one was truly perfect, it seems the world just got more colourful whoever she passes through, followed by bodyguards and maids.

"That's Qin Xiao's Granddaughter Qin Xingxuan, truly… perfect." The fatty praised the girl, Xiao Tian Long just nodded as if what he said was the truth.

"She is Grade six martial talent." Lin Xiaodong offhand mentioned that.

"Not bad, that means she already in Seven Profound Valley Martial House?" Xiao Tian Long's words made the fatty nearly choke on his saliva.

Not bad!? The girl was the best that Sky Fortune Kingdom had to offer! And it's only 'not bad' for him!?

"Yes, I believe she is a core disciple and she will be cultivating in Seven Profound Valley in not so distant future." Fatty explained with a praiseful voice.

"I say, Brother Long, don't you think in comparison with her Grade six talent, her looks are even more amazing?" 

Xiao Tian Long smirked and then replied." I know what you mean Brother Dong, that white dress with her black hair, what a contrast." 

The fatty quickly nodded with a dreamy look.

"Well, we should go, otherwise we going to look like idiots standing in the middle of the road."

He snapped out the Lin Xiaodong and they continued walking.

~~~

After seeing Qin Xingxuan, Tian Long started to think about how to meet her properly, he knows that she is attending the Zither department.

But for that, he needs to understand inscriptions, for that he bought a bunch of books on it, a quick read later he already got basics down.

Since Sky Fortune Kingdom only has a certain level of understanding in that he later assimilated some of the memories from the cube, he learned the 'overbearing rune' which will be quite nice on his sword.

The thing about inscriptions is that they need a bunch of resources something, he can easily acquire after all he creates these resources, but there are over twenty different types of similar resources and the zither department should have extensive knowledge of the sky silkworms.

So, his destination is the zither department, the public lecture hall, for that he needs a pass and his new fatty friend has the connections to get one.

"You going to watch some beautiful girls in the zither department brother Long?" Fatty said with a knowing look.

"Indeed, but same time I going to get some research on the material they use for zithers, did you know that there are twenty different Sky Silkworms they use for zithers?" 

The fatty raised his eyebrow." You started learning inscriptions?" Lin Xiaodong asked with disbelief.

Tian Long nodded and pulled out a single piece of white paper with a rune on it, a fancy-looking golden fire was inscribed on it.

"Yep, did some basic ones, this one here increase essence flow in a weapon by 20%."

He then handed one to the fatty.

"You can put this one on your weapon if you want, I going to zither department to do double research brother Dong." He swirled the entry pass between his fingers before leaving dumbstruck Lin Xiaodong.

"What a monstrous genius…" he said with awe as he looked at the paper piece where the inscribed rune was.

"Pity, that Brother Long is an unknown inscription master otherwise I could make a fortune by selling this!" Lin Xiaodong sighed in small disappointment, before storing the paper in his pocket, now he needs to get his hands on a proper sword.

While fatty was thinking about a weapon, his cousin was training like a machine, leaving Xiao Tian Long who was walking towards the Zither pavilion with a whistle.

He is interested in how does the place look like, a place where jade beauties learn to play music.

When he arrived at Seven Profound Valley Martial House Zither department public lecture hall, which is a very mouthful, and long name which needs shortening.

It's a three-floor building with a spacious hall, full of females, while he knows that's its practically females only, there are no signs that no male can enter, it's as if he simply had to know…

What a bunch of weird girls...
