Chapter 78: Fissure Wind Palm

  The prince's fingers moved unconsciously, and then slowly opened his eyes to see the familiar pattern on the ceiling, muttering: "How did I end up in my own room? Shouldn't I be on the grass?"

  "It was one of the lower-ranking people who discovered you!" a stern voice came over.

  Upon hearing the sound, Wang Zhen's mind cleared and he immediately woke up. He turned his head to find that his father, Wang Tiancheng, was sitting in a chair looking at him.

  "Dad!" Wang Zikong hastily sat up, "How are you here?"

  "I'm afraid you'll die!" Wang Tiencang's tone was somewhat angry: "How can you alone in the backyard use such a dangerous method to impact the four heaviness of the post-heaven, don't you know that if you're not careful, your meridians will be severed and you'll die?"

  "Cough...cough..." Prince Wang just said a sentence and couldn't help but cough, "Haven't I succeeded? To get something, you always have to give up something else!"

  Looking at his son's pale face, Wang Tienciu felt a little heartache. "Why did he suddenly become so desperate? Cultivating step by step, reaching the Fourth Heaven of the Post-Heaven Realm is just a matter of time."

  "But I'm precisely short on time!" Wang Ziqing lowered his head, "The Tianling Mountain Grand Competition is approaching soon, and my current threefold strength can't even stand a chance in it, let alone the fact that I don't have any matching skills to go with it! That would only drag down Tianming!"

  "Tian Ming? You're referring to Gao Tianming?" Wang Tiangcheng's eyebrows rose slightly, "He's just a minor figure who only became prominent later on. When you told me you wanted to go to Tianshan with him back then, I had my doubts!"

  Wang Zi Kong raised his head and smiled lightly, "He's no longer a Post-Heaven First Order cultivator, he's now a Post-Heaven Second Order!"

  "Tomorrow again?" Wang Tienceng was slightly surprised, "Even if that's the case, it's him dragging you down, how can you drag him down!"

  "But if he can defeat a 2nd rank ability user with the 'Willow Shadow Body Method', wouldn't that be of even greater assistance to the two brothers of the Tanimoto family in defeating Hibari, who has half a foot into 3rd rank ability?" Wang Ziqing's face turned somewhat strange.

  "Was it he who helped the Duanmu family defeat the Heibei?" Wang Tianding asked in surprise.

  The prince looked at his father with a somewhat strange expression and said, "Have you already heard this news?"

  Wang Tiancheng shook his head, "I only heard others say that someone collaborated with the Duanmu family to defeat Heber who was about to break through, but I didn't know he was Gao Tianming! He's only a postnatal second-order cultivator, how could his strength be so powerful!"

  "Heh heh! If I told you that he could dodge bullets on the second day of the lunar new year, what would you think?"

  "Tomorrow, one heavy... bullet..." Wang Tiencity stared blankly for a moment, muttering the two words to himself, his mind struggling to keep up. If helping the Du Mu family defeat Xi Bei Lie was accomplished through high-level martial arts, then how could he explain dodging bullets during the second day of the Heavy?

  "So you invited him in the first place?" Wang Tiancheng asked with a wry smile.

  The prince nodded, gazing out the window at the scenery and sighed: "I just didn't expect him to grow up so quickly, with today's strength enough to defeat ordinary acquired fourth-level masters, and also contend with general acquired fifth-level masters! And what can I do? So I don't want to hold him back!"

  Upon hearing his son's words, Wang Tienceng lowered his head and pondered for a moment before seemingly making a major decision. "You've now successfully reached the Fourth Heaven of the Post-Heaven Realm; it's time I told you some things!"

  "What's wrong? Is there something else you haven't told me?" Wang Ziqian asked with some curiosity, looking at his father's expression.

  "Heh heh, there are some things!" Wang Tiancheng smiled, "Did you always think that our family didn't have any skills or martial arts?"

  "Isn't it? Could it be......" Upon hearing Wang Tian Cheng's words, Wang Zi Cong felt his heart suddenly beating violently.

  "Haha!" Wang Tiancheng slightly nodded his head and smiled, saying: "Actually, our family possesses a set of intermediate-level martial arts that combines offense and defense, the 'Fissure Wind Palm'!"

  "Prefectural intermediate!" Wang Ziqing's eyes widened, his pale face flushing with excitement, "You never told me that before!"

  "Of course, I can't tell you!" Wang Tiancheng stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the distant mountain peaks. He sighed: "My grandfather and I are only at the sixth level of acquired power. Without any extraordinary encounters, we'll probably be stuck at this level for our entire lives. If outsiders find out that our family possesses middle-grade earth-level techniques, how can we resist their greed?"

  "Why are you telling me this again now?"

  "Haha!" Wang Tiancheng turned around, his eyes shining brightly: "Just as you said, to get something, one must always pay the price! I'm betting that you'll make a big splash on Mount Tiān Líng and be taken in by the Hidden World Sect. By then, even if your cultivation method is exposed, you'll still become a factor they fear!"

  The prince looked at his father, the flush on his face from learning the truth had returned to normal, he could feel a weight he had never felt before pressing down on him.

  …………

  "You must remember, the level of the 'Feng Lie Zhua' technique is too high. With your Fourth-Grade cultivation base, you can only practice it to a small extent, that is, the 'Sui Feng', 'Gen Ying', and 'Lie Feng' states in the 'Feng Lie Zhua'. And once you release the big move 'Sui Feng', your internal energy will be completely depleted!" With his father's words echoing in his mind, Wang Ziyun slowly began to move in the backyard of the mountain villa.

  "A gentle breeze seemed to be caressing, drifting aimlessly around Wang Zixu's body, a wondrous feeling echoing in his heart, as if he had become the wind itself, yet a thread of rationality reminded him that he was just a person."

  Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came into his ears. Wang Zi suddenly opened his eyes and saw a servant quietly walking towards him.

  "Haha! This set of skills is really interesting, but I just casually tried to comprehend it and was able to produce so many strange feelings. It seems that mastering this skill won't be easy!" Wang Ziqing thought to himself.

  "Master!" Seeing his master deep in thought, the servant couldn't help but call out.

  "Huh?" Hearing someone call out to him, Wang Ziqian snapped back to attention, "What's up?"

  "The Duanmu family has just arrived at the mountain villa, informing you that you and one of your friends are invited to visit the Duanmu Mountain Villa tomorrow as a gesture of gratitude for their previous assistance!" The servant replied cautiously.

  "A friend of mine?" Wang Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You're talking about Tian Ming! Haha, just tell the people of Duanmu's family that I know!"

  The servant received the order and immediately turned around and left the backyard.

  "Hehe! I wonder what kind of expression Ming will have when he sees my greatly increased power! Every time it's me who is shocked, this time let him be shocked for once!" Wang Ziqing's mouth corners couldn't help but slightly curve upwards.
