As Li yuan tian is experiencing the new found power in him after the fight with the blood beasts
Zhao qilin asks him about the strength as confused as Li yuan tian "this...is this a sub realm?, like the half step blood opening realm?"
"Dosen't feel like the half step although they are similar they have their own differences, like gu tian shen he has explosive power but he can't harness blood qi in the sub realm"
Replies Li yuan tian
Zhao qilin was a bit taken aback this is the first time since they met that Li yuan tian has said something like a normal human like having a proper conversation instead of 1 line sentences
He asked yuan tian again " Then what do you think is the main difference between the 2 sub realms??"
Li yuan tian just smiles and says " it's better to just show you than say it "
He looks at a tree a few meters away
It was a tall tree almost 10 meters tall with branches and all spaning a few meters
Li yuan tian goes upto the tree and punches it
The tree falls off and there is a crimson hue on li yuan tian's fist
He says "this is the main difference" he continues "although the half step blood opening realm is more powerful than body tempering realm it can't harness the power of blood qi...this crimson art allows me to harness blood qi in the body tempering realm although I can't use it for a long time I can use it to surprise attack my opponets"
Zhao qilin is shocked because as an early stage blood opening martial artist he himself knows how difficult it is for any body tempering martial artist to feel and utilize blood qi
Although blood opening realm can be achieved through various means it does not mean that it is easy to achieve.
The prefecture city geniuses were able to achieve this as they have ancestor in meridian expansion realm and the resources they can get is not something the likes of li yuan tian can obtain
Zhao qilin himself also achieved the realm in this same way but he is still 21 years old now
He began thinking about something then said to Li yuan tian " this martial art of your can be of various uses to many martial researchers as they can use this to experiment and create a new way to easily become blood opening martial artist.....this is a opportunity"
Li yuan tian smirks pats Zhao qilin on his shoulders and says " if you dare leak this I will hunt yoy down"
This send a shiver down Zhao qilins backbone
Then he remembered that this boy is a madman how can he forget this just because he had a normal conversation with him
He dares venture into this forgotten valley alone with body tempering stage
He truly is an absolute madman
The following days were peacefully gone
We dont know if it was because of the martial art or that Li yuan tian found Zhao qilin trustworthy he was now having normal conversations with him and he had let his gaurd down against him or atleast it seemed as though he did
Li yuan tian after a great circulation of his martial arts asks Zhao qilin about his family background as they were now could be known as friends
Zhao qilin replies to his inquiry " I am from the capital" then he proudly says while patting his chest to say that he is superior " I am the 2nd son of the patriach of the Zhao clan a meridian expansion realm martial artist" he continues " my Zhao clan is one of the 9 great clans in the Xianlin kingdom and we have 3 pseudo qi core ancestors" " even the royal lin family have to give us some face"
" Now do you understand my status? I know that you would have until now--" " enough now" said Li yuan tian cutting whatever Zhao qilin was saying
Then he asks " I know your ancestors are strong fine? Now tell me what really matters and what I am interested in how is the martial arts competition and how it is conducted and the potential rivals or threats i have to look out for"
"Okay okay" "the martial arts competition you say has a name 'the rising star competition' it is conducted once every 30 years or 50 years depending on the royal lin family"
"It is conducted diffrently every time it is held but it mainly used number to pair up opponents to fight or compete" "as for people to look out for ? Every single one of the prefecture qualifiers is atleast a peak body tempering realm of not blood opening stage martial artist i cant name these many people"
"Whatever....thinking and worrying about the future isn't like me"
" I will just get the info about them in the city then formulate ways to defeat them"
" let me continue my practice go out of the cave or sleep" says Li yuan tian
"Blah blah blah why did you ask if you were trying to be nonchalant and were going to do this" zhao qilin whispered to himself and started practicing
