Chapter 18 - Reverse Guidance, Mutual Assistance, "Sword Steps"!
Chapter 18: Reverse Guidance, Mutual Assistance, “Sword Steps”!
In the Southern Region, each province had its own Dragon Ranking.
There were a total of one hundred spots.
As one of the major forces within the Tianling Prefecture, losing six disciples at once was indeed a significant loss.
No wonder they decided to open the secret realm early, to strengthen the disciples’ strength.
“The secret realm is opening, and the geniuses in the inner sect should also be going.”
Meng Changqing’s lips curled slightly.
For him, while natural talents and treasures were important, making friends came first.
On normal days, these geniuses usually secluded themselves for cultivation and rarely came out.
But now, he finally found an opportunity.
However, before the secret realm opened, he still needed to quickly improve his strength.
As mentioned before.
Strength was the key to making friends.
“Thank you, Senior Qin, for letting me know. Otherwise, I might have missed it,” Meng Changqing said as he snapped back to reality.
He had just been about to return to his family. If he indulged for too long, he might have missed it.
Actually, the family estate was not far from the sect.
It was just over ten days round trip.
“It’s just a small matter. Junior Meng, don’t worry about it,” Qin Fang said with a smile.
In his heart, he was even more delighted. It seemed that his reminder was quite right.
Bonus points!
All his impressions of Meng Changqing had come from Sun Haishan’s account before.
But today, seeing it with his own eyes, he had no doubts in his mind anymore.
This Meng Changqing was extraordinary.
He was still in the budding stage now, not receiving much attention from the sect yet. But in the future, he would definitely become a dazzling figure in the sect.
So, he had to quickly improve their relationship.
Otherwise, in the future, he would truly be a “nobody” in his eyes.
Meng Changqing didn’t know what Qin Fang was thinking.
If he knew, he would definitely burst out laughing.
Goodness, they were really boosting each other up, weren’t they?
He needed to improve his friend’s favorability, but his friend was also boosting his favorability.
Truly amusing.
A mutual boost?
“Oh, by the way, Junior Meng, I have a somewhat awkward request…”
Qin Fang’s smile faded, looking a little embarrassed.
“Senior Qin, please feel free to speak,” Meng Changqing said.
“It’s just… uh…”
Qin Fang seemed to struggle to speak, then finally gritted his teeth, “I have some doubts about the Wind and Thunder Sword Art. Could you teach me?”
As he spoke, Qin Fang clenched his fists under his sleeves.
To be honest, he felt a bit ashamed in his heart.
After all, he had mainly come to guide Meng Changqing.
But who would have thought that it would be the other way around.
His comprehension was limited, and the Elder of the Scripture Pavilion couldn’t teach him every time. Now, there was a perfect opportunity right in front of him. If he missed it, he would regret it.
Although opening his mouth was embarrassing, it was a loss of identity as an elder of the sect.
But!
Wasn’t face just a matter of strength?
Moreover, this person was Junior Meng!
A monstrous figure, he had to admire him!
“Of course,” Meng Changqing was slightly stunned, then smiled.
Is this considered repaying the favor?
He had received the Wind and Thunder Sword Art at the Mastery level from Qin Fang, and after reaching perfection, he turned around to teach him.
“Thank you, Junior Meng,” Qin Fang suddenly looked delighted.
Then he brought up his doubts one by one.
With Meng Changqing’s current level of swordsmanship, it was easy for him to answer these questions.
He could even extrapolate and extend them.
Giving Qin Fang some considerable inspiration.
A moment later, Qin Fang’s face was filled with a clear and open expression.
He clasped his hands together and bowed to Meng Changqing.
The attitude was sincere, coming from the heart.
“Thank you, Junior Meng, for enlightening me. If it weren’t for you, I would have been stuck at this level for at least five or six years.
“Now, it will only take half a year. After half a year, I will definitely step into the realm of perfection!”
Although he understood some things, it’s only some. Meng Changqing explained a lot, and there were still many things he hadn’t fully comprehended. It woud take time to ponder over them.
“Senior Qin, you’re being too polite. Aren’t we friends? Why bother with such words between friends?
“If there are still things you don’t understand in the future, feel free to come to me.”
Meng Changqing smiled faintly.
Seeing this, Qin Fang was quite touched.
Having spent so many years in the inner sect, he had actually seen quite a few geniuses.
But most geniuses were arrogant.
They were like clouds in the sky, rarely deigning to look down upon the creatures below.
But this Junior Meng was different.
Clearly possessing such high talent, yet so approachable.
He even patiently explained his doubts about swordsmanship for so long.
Truly… rare.
Ding!
[Friendliness increased to two stars!]
[Acquired skill: ‘Sword Steps’ Partial-Mastery!]
[Would you like to fuse immediately?]
The voice of the system sounded in his mind.
“No.”
Meng Changqing chose to refuse.
He hadn’t thought much about it during the explanation, just clarifying doubts.
He didn’t expect his friendliness to increase directly.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
What he said was all the essence of the matter.
The help to Qin Fang was definitely significant.
Qin Fang’s increase in friendliness was also reasonable.
Although he hadn’t come into contact with the skill “Sword Steps” before, judging by its name, it was a footwork technique, which happened to be the part of martial arts he was lacking.
It was like a pillow coming when one was feeling sleepy.
Fulfilling what was lacking.
Moreover, martial arts in the inner sect were not something one could learn just because they wanted to.
Apart from the initial martial art “Wind and Thunder Sword Art,” if you wanted to learn others, you had to rely on contribution points!
Qin Fang probably did a lot of tasks to exchange for this skill.
He hadn’t done any tasks himself.
Yet, he got it in advance.
