God Slayer Chronicles 23 Fighting Spirit!

"Young Master, we've been at it all day and night. We aren't your match; please have mercy!" One of the guards that were holding a wooden pole at his waist said while panting.

"Useless all of you! I've only formed my first Qi river this morning, yet all of you who are peak Qi River pract.i.tioners and are unable to give me a challenge?!" Yang Chi shook his head, as small droplets of sweat fell down his body.

The day after he'd woke up, he began his cultivation in Qi cultivating. He'd been cultivating throughout the night, producing his foundations for his cultivation base! Finally, in the morning he'd created his first Qi River!

The Qi River is a bizarre stage of cultivation, as while its easy to advance into Qi Sea Realm it wouldn't be advised to rush it! This is because one must secure their foundations and make sure the Qi River is as refined and large as possible so that that they could have better future potential.

First Qi River, then the river of Qi (Or rivers depending on technique) flows into the Qi Sea.

Qi becomes infinitely harder to refine at the Sea stage, which is why it's so important to have st.u.r.dy foundations. This is because the quality of Qi in the Sea stage will not only determine your strength compared to other cultivators, but also the quality of the Qi Core!

The Qi core was, of course, split into different stages of quality as well, ranging all the way from Mixed to Golden and the legendary Inextinguishable!

Even in the divine realm, it was scarce to have an Inextinguishable Core, fortunately for Yang Chi's father – Yang Fu, he'd been given the Nine-Suns Fury Technique, which was kind of a cheaters method of creating nine cores and merging them.

Of course, if this method was leaked to some super sect in the divine realm and given to a genius with a pure yang bloodline with Ultimate Yang Qi readily available one could only imagine how terrifying the results would be!

Yang Chi got s.h.i.+vers just thinking about it!

Trying to push this deadly thought to the back of his head, he turned to inspect his cultivation!

Currently, he had one fully fledged Qi River, with a strong Yang Attribute running through it. To his surprise though, it wasn't as powerful as he'd of liked. Unfortunately, his bloodline would need purifying, or he'd need to seek natural resources to increase his Yang Attribute!

Unfortunately, this meant that he'd have to find a Yin strengthening resource as well, as his blood-line needed to be in perfect harmony. This was incredibly frustrating to Yang Chi, as the Yang Clan had neither Yin nor Yang strengthening items, yet somehow, he needed to obtain them!

This made his desire to leave the Yang Clan even stronger! He needed to go into the outside world and explore, find resources for both his body and Qi cultivation and temper himself against real opponents, not some peons!

Ahhh!

He screamed out loud in frustration as he charged at the three Yang Clan guards, lifting his wooden sword up.

They gather what resilience they had gathered into a formation, two men at the back, one spear-heading their attack!

The first one struck downwards with his staff.

Yang Chi followed his instincts allowing the staff to charge downwards at his body, until the final moment, pivoting his body and his sword, he redirected the staff with a light strike to the top.

Bang!

The staff struck the ground, making the guards hands shudder, wincing in pain.

Smack!

Yang Chi drove his wooden sword upwards, straight into the guardsman's throat, causing him to huff and heave, falling over clasping his throat.

Taking two swift steps backward avoiding the staffs of the final two guardsmen in green and blue sashes, his anger increased.

"How can I ever be expected to improve if I spar without you two using techniques?! Now with all your might, otherwise I'll switch to live steel!" Yang Chi growled, and the other two showed visible shock.

'Live steel in the practice yard?! Is this young master a butcher?!?!' they both thought in unison.

Quickly one after another they both executed their most formidable techniques, "Cobras Strike!" the blue sashed one yelled out while lunging with his staff!

The other screamed, "Monkey Kings Sweep!" as he swept his staff out for Yang Chi's legs!

While they both had formidable looks Yang Chi could only smile, this is what he'd been waiting for, "A chance to execute my martial arts!" he cackled on the inside.

"Shadowless Steps" he whispered, leaving a figure in the middle of the courtyard to get struck by the two guardsmen.

Bang!

Bang!

The two staffs went through the outline of Yang Chi's figure, which both caused them to gape.

"Gentleman's Tyrannical Swipe!" Yang Chi emerged from behind their backs, swiping out with his wooden sword!

Boom!

"Ahhh!"

The guards were both blasted off their feet and created small dents in the courtyard wall as they were slammed face first into it!

"Hahaha! What a rus.h.!.+" Yang Chi was exhilarated, twirling his sword about in his hand with a giant smile on his face.

"Young Master?!" An old man from outside come rus.h.i.+ng in, this man was Caretaker An, he was an old man, who helped younglings of the Yang Clan with their training.

He'd heard the banging from outside, and naturally thought that his Young Master would be in grave danger, yet never in his life had he expected two b.l.o.o.d.y dents in the wall and a man clasping for breath on the floor.

"Oh, caretaker An you're here? I'm done with today's training, I hope that you can reward these guards appropriately. They've had quite the time." Yang Chi smiled with his lips and closed his eyes as he put his hands behind his back, sword still gripped and walked off out of the courtyard.

Needless to say, Caretaker An was flabbergasted at the sight! His young master had the combat proficiency of three peak Qi River cultivators?!

No! This was impossible, wasn't it?! This Caretaker An wasn't some green boy in cultivation either, he'd been part of a major sect in the Central Plains of the Forgotten Valley!

He only joined the Yang Clan after he was crippled, but he'd only seen one or two cultivators with such talent when he stayed in the Central Plains!

A thought suddenly thought, if he could introduce Yang Chi to his sect, then perhaps the current elders would give him something good?!

Perhaps they could give him something to repair his cultivation!

Caretaker An rubbed his old wrinkly hands, starting to salivate about the possibilities!
