The Rumbling Thunder Sixteen Sword Moves.
Baili Qingfeng read it for a while but did not feel that it was anything mysterious.
Fast, precise and brutal?
No!
Just fast and precise was enough.
Brutal?
It was unnecessary.
Hit the enemy and kill him in one attack. Simple as that. Such ordinary sword arts did not have too many tricks.
If he wanted tricks, he had to wait until the vibe of his sword could rage to thirty thousand kilometers away.
As for now…
He only needed his sword to be fast!
In the meantime, he realized that the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves and the other information he found earlier were from the same address.
Tracking the address, Baili Qingfeng discovered that it was a forum.
Anybody could register on the forum for free, but they had to submit their background information.
Baili Qingfeng wrote the Jiang Martial Arts Club as his background and browsed through the forum as a guest.
It was a forum made of martial fighters, mostly young ones.
The older ones probably did not know the Internet at all.
It had only been three months since the forum was established. For better popularity, a lot of arts and techniques had been uploaded.
When Baili Qingfeng read the information, his identity passed vetting. He discovered that there were almost a thousand techniques on the forums in all kinds of categories such as body training, spirit refining, sword arts, mecha arts, etc.
Also, the techniques were not just from the Kingdom of Shea but also from other countries, except that those from Shea were the majority.
“Beep.”
Baili Qingfeng received a short message while he was reading.
“Are you from Sumen City? We’re in the same state. Why don’t we talk about martial arts sometime?”
Baili Qingfeng accepted the friend request of the man named Worldly Boy and sent a reply, “Do you know who created the forum?”
“I do. You know the famous Tower of Natural Mysteries, right?”
Tower of Natural Mysteries?
He did know a certain club with a similar name, but as for the Tower of Natural Mysteries…
He was not a professional martial fighter. How could he know the Tower of Natural Mysteries?
“I do.”
“This forum, ‘Storm of Swords’, is created by Bai Yuxiao, the sixth son of the master of the Tower of Natural Mysteries. He established the forum to break the boundaries of sects and their obsolete rules so that everybody can practice martial arts. What a noble cause. Look. There are a thousand books of breathing and body training techniques here. It’s a shame that Bai Yuxiao’s legs were broken by his father later and is still in the hospital. Otherwise, there could have been much more,” Worldly Boy said. His regrets could almost be smelled through the screen.
“The Tower of Natural Mysteries.” Baili Qingfeng nodded.
The Tower of Natural Mysteries had collected many techniques. The Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves and the Thunderous Breathing Technique were both there. Even the Thunderous Juggernaut Method, which the Baili family lost, could be found there. He had reached level five, divinity revelation, thanks to the image of the thunder beast he found online.
However, level six probably would have to wait for a few more months.
…
A week soon passed.
Baili Qingfeng spent most of the week immersed in martial arts.
He did not know how many times other people practiced the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves each day, but he did it fifty to six times every day.
It couldn’t be helped. Thanks to his recovery abilities, he did not know his limits at all without dozens of exercises. Sometimes, he had already recovered before he was exhausted. How could he approach his limits in this case?
He was rather helpless and desperate too.
Thankfully, daily strenuous training proved worthwhile. He could sense that his body had digested the herbs and that his blood was forty percent thicker.
The change of blood was a sign that his whole body was much stronger. Other than anything else, he could finish the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves four times in thirteen minutes, and he was only three minutes away from the ten-minute threshold for a level three fighter.
After a week, Baili Qingfeng’s new semester began.
Baili Qingfeng had decided to be a good student morally, intellectually and physically.
Morally speaking, he had the perfect outlook. Although he hadn’t accepted the new world entirely, he was certainly a promising young man for the country.
Intellectually speaking, his top ten grades last semester were enough to prove his merit. He was also considering applying for a few scholarships.
As for the physical aspect…
His strong body close to that of a level three fighter was already enough to intimidate the other students.
Although he was so excellent, it was not enough.
His goal was to become one of the Ten Most Distinguished Young Men of the Continent, bring the world to the age of nuclear energy, and then…
Well, one thing at a time. He had to apply for the war-level certification first.
After bidding farewell to Baili Hong, Baili Qingfeng took the bus to the port and left for Shire City on a boat.
Shire University was located at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain. It was only a dozen kilometers away from the old district that Baili Qingfeng lived in. So, he did not need to set off a few days earlier, as the other students did.
Shire City was trying to build the new district into the greatest university down south with Shire University, the Blue Ocean Music College, and the Orchid Shadow Art Academy. It was also pushing for integrating Shire, Wuhe and Kanong. If the plan was accomplished, the population of the city would reach ten million.
“Qingfeng.”
Baili Qingfeng went to school after the boat arrived. He suddenly heard somebody calling him. “Here.”
Baili Qingfeng looked over and saw a man who was of his age but had dark skin.
It was Gu Le.
He was refused by the girl he loved, who said that she did not like pretty boys. So, he basked in the sun for two months to make his skin darker, but by the time he approached the girl again, she was already with another tall and handsome man.
Dark or fair was not the criteria; the key was being handsome.
“You’re right on time. Huh. You seem much taller after the holiday, don’t you? You’re more energetic, too.” Gu Le eyed Baili Qingfeng.
“I’ll put my stuff down first,” Baili Qingfeng said.
“Let’s go together. They have both come. Mo Mier is engaged after just one summer holiday, can you believe it? His girlfriend is a freshman student!”
Baili Qingfeng smiled.
He was not in a bad relationship with his roommates, but…
It was just at ‘not bad’.
They pursued different things. Naturally, they couldn’t be real friends.
Because they were already sophomores and knew the way well, Baili Qingfeng and Gu Le took a shortcut that saved them a hundred meters.
“Huh. A store for musical instruments?” Baili Qingfeng raised his head and looked.
The rent of the store couldn’t be high since it was not by the street. It was rather spacious, with an area of four hundred square kilometers.
“Qingfeng, I remember that you can play music, right? If you know music, it will be much easier for you to find a girlfriend in our school.”
“Only a bit.” Baili Qingfeng said, “Let’s go back and put down the luggage.”
“You only have a small suitcase with you…”
“A suitcase is still luggage. I don’t feel comfortable when I carry things.”
Gu Le shrugged. “Whatever you say.”
“Wu… Wu… Wu…”
At this moment, the pleasant sound of the flute came from upstairs in the store.
Baili Qingfeng was stunned and stopped.
He could tell that the performer…
The performer was rather skilled.
That was definitely not an amateur.
Right when Baili Qingfeng appreciated the music in silence, the flute stopped.
Baili Qingfeng looked at the second floor where the sound came from. Vaguely, he saw the lines of a blue dress.
Pausing for a moment, Baili Qingfeng had an epiphany and said, “Let’s take a look.”
They entered the store as they talked.
A woman around twenty-five greeted them. She was wearing an elegant dress.
“What would you like to buy, sir?”
“Are the ancient instruments upstairs?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll take a look at them.”
“Alright, sir, this way.”
Thud… Thud…
Baili Qingfeng gave the suitcase to Gu Le and went upstairs.
There were three people upstairs.
One attractive young lady was helping two girls to pick flutes.
One of the two girls was wearing a white long skirt that was covered by a denim jacket. She looked young and vigorous.
The other girl was wearing a blue dress with a belt of the same color around her slim waist that was tied into a bowknot. Her body figure was curvaceous and graceful. Her long black hair dangled from her shoulder, dotted by headbands. At that moment, she was holding a flute that had just been adjusted. When she smiled, she looked like an orchid flower was blossoming in an empty valley.
