Martial Master

"Is there any hope?"

With a worried expression, Wang Qiming couldn't help but ask.

"There is, but..."

"Please, Young Master Chen, save me."

Thud!

Kneeling on both knees, Wang Qiming's expression was resolute.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Chen was taken aback.

He never expected that a big man like Wang Qiming would kneel down just like that.

"I don't want to become a useless person. I want to become stronger, to be a true top-tier swordsman."

Wang Qiming's gaze was firm, his eyes resembling a proud eagle ready to soar into the sky.

The determination he displayed even shocked Qin Chen.

"Get up. Since I’ve spoken, I naturally won’t ignore it."

"Thank you, Young Master Chen." Wang Qiming stood up, his face filled with excitement.

Taking out a box of gold needles, Qin Chen said sternly, "Don't move."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Swish, swish, swish!

Several piercing sounds echoed as a few gold needles shot out from Qin Chen's hand. Before Wang Qiming could react, several needles had already pierced into his arm, instantly bringing a sensation of numbness.

Wang Qiming was startled, his pupils constricting.

So fast! These gold needles from Qin Chen were almost instantaneously thrust out, so quick that he didn't even have the time to react before they pierced into his body. Luckily, these were just gold needles; if they had been hidden weapons, he wouldn't have been able to dodge at all.

"Alright!"

Putting away the wooden box, Qin Chen spoke calmly.

"Really?"

Wang Qiming was dumbfounded. How could he be healed so quickly? Moreover, he felt nothing at all.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a wave of coolness spread from the spots where the gold needles had pierced him, immediately filling his entire body with refreshing relief, causing him to involuntarily let out a groan.

In an instant, his entire arm felt like it was reborn.

As if he had been reborn.

Whoosh!

He drew his sword from its sheath and slashed out.

His speed was at least twenty percent faster than before.

Moreover, there was no pain or numbness in his fingers at all.

Incredible.

Wang Qiming stared wide-eyed at his own hands, unable to believe what was happening.

The injuries that had troubled him for so long... were they really healed just like that?

"The injuries on your body have not completely healed; I merely unblocked all your damaged meridians so that your true energy can flow through every meridian and capillary. Normally, you would still need to take medicinal pills for a few days to fully recover."

"But in two days, it will be time to enter the Blood Spirit Pool. Since the Blood Spirit Pool can enhance physical strength and alter a martial artist's talent, it can naturally heal the remaining injuries on your body."

Wang Qiming was filled with excitement, clasping his hands together, "Thank you, Young Master Chen. If you have any commands in the future, please speak freely. If I, Wang Qiming, hesitate even slightly, let the Five Thunders strike me down, and may I die a terrible death."

Shaking his head, Qin Chen said, "I just don’t want to see a talented swordsman go astray. Show me your sword technique once more."

"Yes."

Without hesitation.

Wang Qiming immediately performed his sword technique. As he did, a myriad of sword lights surrounded him, creating a feeling of solitude and indifference.

With his arm restored, Wang Qiming felt rejuvenated; every strike was cold and sharp, and his power was at least fifty percent greater than when he fought against the sect master before.

"Young Master Chen, please guide me."

No longer daring to underestimate Qin Chen, Wang Qiming finished his set of sword moves and cupped his hands.

"Your Solitary Peak Sword Technique has indeed been cultivated to perfection. It’s a pity that 'the absolute peak turning back is the shore, and the dark willow has flowers blooming again.' Your sword technique contains the sentiment of an absolute peak, but lacks the intent of rebirth."

"Intent of rebirth?"

Qin Chen smiled gently, breaking off a nearby branch and suddenly transforming it into a magnificent circle of light. The circle layered upon itself, turning into a solitary peak; majestic and towering, yet full of life.
