Book 2 Chapter 24: Seeing Dad Again

Lintian’s eyes peeks open and he saw that he was in a hospital bed. Why am I in a hospital? Lintian wonders. I feel great. My body feels so light but strong and my head feels so clear but somehow my soul feels weak.

“!!!!” Am I in the Masters realm!? Lintian wonders to himself.

He remembers going into the woods and to that cave last night and that was it. He did not remember the excruciating pain that he went through.

Kyuri sensing Lintian confusion mentally reached out to him. “Hey boss you awake? Something weird was happening with you two night ago. I felt part of your excruciating pain. It happened when you were making a breakthrough.”

I don’t remember any of it, Lintian said mentally.

“Well you destroyed a whole cave and forest…”

“How?”

“I don’t know I just felt your body qi spike intensely and then it exploded. I also felt this weird qi too but I don't know how to explain it. It felt so dark. Like it would absorb and destroy anything it touches.”

Lintian was shocked by what Kyuri said.

“Oh you’re awake. Kyuri had to bring you back two days ago. Check your dantian and see what is new. I will unlock a portion of your memory so you know what happened a couple nights ago without remember all that pain that came with it.”

“Okay,” Lintian replied obediently.

Lintian decided to look within himself to find the answer.

His mind enters into his dantian and searched around. He saw that another one of the Nine Suns reserve divine ability’s seed turned into a dantian. As of now he has two other Dantians besides his original. Lintian then felt his Master Realm qi. He could feel the density of the qi and it he could feel that comparing Martial realm qi and Master Realm qi was the equivalent of comparing heaven and earth.

Next he looked closer at the dantian and saw traces of fire and lightning qi swimming around like fish in an ocean. Lintian then began to look for his qi dan. Since all Master Realm cultivators have a qi dan. Once Lintian saw his qi dan he was surprised. It didn't look like any qi dan that he has seen in books before. A normal qi dan is a mix of black and white. A grade 10 qi dan would look like a yin yang symbol sphere with a perfect mix and purity of yin qi and yang qi. His qi dan however was completely different. It felt like he was staring into the soul of the universe. The qi dan looked like a galaxy with the tiny dots of light and blue, red, yellow, and even green aurora swirling around. If once word was to describe it the word would be transcending.

It also gave off an oppressive atmosphere that was suffocating Lintian. Lintian wanted to test it out, but fear kept him from doing so. Kyuri just told him that this qi literally blew up his apartment. Who knows what it will do here in a hospital.

Lintian decided not to mess with it and return back to his body.

“Lintian my boy I am going to unlock your memories now.”

Flash after flashes of memories and conversation were looped through Lintian’s brain as he remember everything leading up to it like watch a movie. He saw himself in massive pain but thanks to Rashu the pain was blocked.

“Oh I nearly forgot I still have talk to Dr. Harris about something.”

Lintian got off his bed. His body felt so light but was as immovable as a mountain. He strolls out the door and meets a nurse at the doorway and she greeted Lintian.

“Lintian are you ok?” the nurse asks.

“Yeah, I’m fine Ms. Henna,” Lintian replies, “actually I feel better than ever.”

Seeing Lintian as optimistic as ever she decided not to bother him. “Well, you go ahead then and I’ll sign you out.”

“Thank you,” Lintian waves good bye and leaves the hospital. Over the 3 and a half years that he has been awake he has been in this hospital at least 30 to 50 times. Some of the doctors and nurses practically thinks he lives here sometimes.

Mhmm, Lintian thought. He decided to gather his Master realm qi and Emperor Step his way to Doctor Harris’s office. His qi began to gather then when he was about to use the Emperor’s steps his consciousness slips and brought him to a separate place. He was in the necklace again looking at his Dad.

His dad still looking as lazy as ever lying on the ground like a sloth. Lintian didn't bother talking since it doesn’t matter. Due to the fact this is a memory imprint and nothing more.

“Ah Xiaowei your back again hahaha,” Lintian’s dad Xiaotian chuckles happily.

Lintian didn't react at all.

“Alright, like I said before once you reached Martial realm I will teach you a new Martial art but I lied since there are a lot of things to consider but ya so you know I didn’t.”

Yeah I noticed Lintian rolls his eyes. Get on with the martial skill already. He doesn't know why but he feels a little irritated with his dad.

“So lets get started. Since you just enter into the Master Realm your soul is probable pretty weak but your qi is stronger than ever. Are you thirty this year? 15 maybe if you're a genius. Maybe your 20 something if you are a little above average.”

“Just get on with it,” Lintian groans. I like talking to mom better.

“So I am in a bit of a rush so I haven't really thought through which techniques to pass onto you so I am letting you choose from three,” Xiaotian said grinning from ear to ear.

My dad is definitely stupid why have me pick one of the three? If your in a rush why would you have time to do this?

Three screens appeared in front of Lintian.

[wiggling away technique]

[Rapid Qi Bullets]

[Qi Shock]

Well, I don't think I will need a wiggling away technique and my soul penetrating fist is probable similar to a qi shock. So, I am left with the Rapid Qi Bullets. To be honest distant attacks use up to much qi but since I have three dantians I guess it doesn't matter. This technique seems like such a low tier skill through. Lintian thought in his head.

Lintian was just about to click on the Rapid Qi Bullets when Xiaotian laughter echoes out, “Hahahaha, just kidding. My son can’t learn these cheap skills but you really should learn the wiggling away technique. It works wonders when you want to sneak out in the middle of the night. Come over here. I’ll impart you a distance martial skill. It has a long name through but it is a tier 5 skill called Armament of the Thousand Transformation . Just like the name suggest it is a qi manipulation technique that allows you to manipulate your qi into any form.”

“Not bad,” grinned Lintian. Lintian saw his dad’s arm raised. A beam of light directly hits Lintian’s forehead and information upon information leaked into his head. Qi manipulation, direction manipulation, and string theory. All the information Lintian needed to use the technique.

“Alright let me show how it is done,” Xiaotian said as he stood up and crack his neck back and forth. Qi begins to leak out of his body. Then these qi began to separate themselves into their own individual little balls. Next its shape turn into a blazing arrow. Lastly it began to rotate extremely fast and it looks like a very smooth rocket. “Use your dragon eyes if you have enter the Master realm. You should be able to see qi visibly now.”

Lintian activated his Dragon eyes and he literally can see the qi visible. The qi that his father was releasing was like a beautiful blue lake. He could also see a dark blue qi in the center of the arrows. Then at the tip of the arrows he saw a blue qi that was equivalent to the size of a fishing line. Lintian followed that line to four different target dummies.

“Ready?” Xiaotian asks and releases the arrow.

BOOM! FWOOSH!

There was a sonic boom and Lintian saw those arrows follow the fishing lines. It was so fast Lintian barely had time to react. One zipped pass his face. He could feel the full force of those arrows and felt extremely lucky it missed him.

“Even through this technique looks simple it is not. It took me at least a whole month to comprehend it to the ultimate form. The initial parts are easy but it lacks power. The more you understand the stronger it becomes. Right now I am at the creation level insight. I am sure you have learn this in school already. If not go ask the teacher,” Xiaotian said calmly. “Anyway there is another technique I want to pass on to you but this martial art technique even I cannot use. So I can only pass on the information and show you inside this necklace. Your mother should have been the one to teach you this honestly.”

Lintian’s eyes grew to the size of a watermelon. What kind of sacred martial art skill is this, that his father can’t even learn it. His father was a genius in the family. He was also known as the phantom thief. He would be able to steal his opponents martial skill in the middle of battle. There were no martial arts he couldn’t learn just ones he doesn’t like to learn.
