Chapter 9, Five Years Later, Transformed.

In a daze, Dong Bo Xue Ying saw a towering giant, barefoot and clad in a skirt made of animal skin, roaring towards the sky on the desolate land

On the bare upper body of Dongbo Xueying, a faint crimson aura rises, vaguely taking the shape of a towering giant

A boy dressed in thick clothing shouted loudly from a distance

Oh. The young stone obediently placed its small hand on top.

Snowflakes fell upon the skin of Dongbo Xueying, each movement becoming increasingly attuned to the surrounding world.

Qingshi. Dongbo Xueying smiled and leaped down from a height of over 6 meters, landing on the thick layer of snow below. Now that his younger brother has grown up, Dongbo Xueying has changed the way he addresses him, directly calling him by his name, 'Qingshi', instead of the childhood nickname 'Shitou'.

Because being a mage requires a high level of cognitive ability, especially when it involves the soul during cultivation. If one is too young and acts recklessly, it could even harm the soul and lead to idiocy. Conversely, those who are older, with more life experiences and the accumulation of years, can start their cultivation in their forties or fifties and ultimately achieve great success, even reaching the extraordinary.

Dong Bo Xue Ying has already faintly touched the threshold of complete mastery of his powers and the unity of his knowledge.

Since the age of six, up until now at fifteen during winter, he has practiced shooting for nearly ten years! His level of diligence is likely more remarkable than that of an average person who has trained for twenty or thirty years

One can enter the academy before the age of thirty

At the age of thirteen, the marksmanship had already reached the level of "unity of man and gun"

But in fact

Dong Bo Xue Ying was puzzled

Dong Bo Xue Ying could no longer suppress his pain, kneeling on the ground, his hands supporting himself on the earth, the intense heat radiating from his body causing the surrounding snow to begin melting

Mages and knights are not the same

A young man dressed in a black garment stands before the railing, gazing at the snowflakes falling from the sky. His facial features are chiseled as if carved by a knife, and years of training have imbued him with a chilling aura, characteristic of a master marksman.

Dong Bo Xue Ying was continuously practicing his martial arts amidst the heavy snowfall, each move appearing slow, yet the power of his body flowed and transmitted like water.

yet has never been able to generate fighting spirit to become a knight

There is no need to worry about marksmanship, but why have I not developed any fighting spirit until now?" Dong Bo Xue Ying picked up a long spear placed beside him and began to casually demonstrate the spear techniques he had studied. The spear and Dong Bo Xue Ying seemed to merge into one; the spear moved like a dragon, surging powerfully. As the spear thrust forward, countless spear shadows enveloped the area. When the spear swept across, it was even more unstoppable.

You always stay within the Snow Eagle territory, rarely going to the city even once a year. Don't you find it boring?

According to the initial estimate, one should develop fighting spirit by the age of 10! By the age of 15, one should have already entered the ranks of Earth Knights.

As Dong Bo Xue Ying was skillfully demonstrating his marksmanship, he suddenly felt a faint itch deep within the most subtle parts of his body

Ah

Hmm? Dong Bo Xue Ying sheathed his long spear, and every bone in his body felt an itch deep within, every muscle was tingling; this sensation was uncomfortable even for his level of endurance. Following that, every part of his body began to feel a wave of heat, as if being scorched, and it seemed as though his bones were melting. His skin started to turn bright red, becoming tougher, and a layer of fascia began to grow beneath the skin.

In the past two years, he has frequently practiced martial arts, reflecting on himself, seeking that spark of inspiration in tranquility, desiring to achieve a harmonious and complete physical strength.

My current body is more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person, and hetushu.com is still absorbing the power of heaven and earth

However, this is still not enough... It is necessary to have the strength of the entire body unified, with every ounce of power being controlled with utmost precision and finesse, only then can one be qualified to be called a 'Master of Marksmanship' and be able to master the first level of the 'Xuanbing Spear Technique', Snowfall!

The snow, as thick as goose feathers, is falling.

Knights must begin their training from a young age, with the maximum age for admission to Changfeng Academy set at ten years old. In contrast, mages are subject to different requirements. They are not allowed to train during their childhood; typically, those from well-off families start their training at around ten years old, while some may not begin until they are sixteen, seventeen, or even over twenty. The age requirement for mages to be admitted to Changfeng Academy is a full thirty years.

Dongbo Xueying and the others all displayed expressions of joy

In this situation, even Zong Ling and the others, who are well-informed and experienced, do not understand the reason behind it

Dong Bo Xue Ying smiled and said nothing

"Great Mage, come here, give me a kiss." Dong Bo Xue Ying happily kissed his younger brother.

I will practice my martial arts for a while longer," said Dong Bo Xue Ying, as he simultaneously removed his upper garment, exposing his bare torso. While wearing clothes, it was not apparent, but once he took them off, one could immediately feel his remarkably strong physique. Clearly, years of rigorous training had made his body astonishingly robust.

Bang

"Take your time practicing, I am off to play." Qing Shi dashed away

Time passes day by day

The younger brother no longer has much impression of his parents, and he does not remember the night they were taken away, living a carefree life

At the age of ten, Dongbo Xueying's physical strength had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person. Over the following five years, his body continued to grow stronger. He was constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth, which resulted in an inability to generate fighting energy.

Follow the dissipating crimson flow

"Brother, let's go to Yishui City for some fun. There are many interesting places in Yishui City. It's so boring to stay at home and feel restless," said Dong Boqingshi excitedly

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed

Dong Bo Xue Ying, Zong Ling, and Tong San were not disappointed; instead, they found it strange

Dongbo Xueying and his younger brother Qingshi, along with Zongling, were gathered together. Dongbo Xueying took out a crystal ball the size of a watermelon from a nearby package, which was also left by their mother

"Brother, how can there be light?" Qing Shi asked curiously

It is fast

Brother

"Come, Stone, place the book in your hand on top of it," said Dongbo Xueying.

The internal changes within Dongbo Xueying's body have intensified significantly

"Brother, what is this? It's so beautiful." The younger brother, Qing Shi, is handsome and adorable. If Dong Bo Xue Ying's appearance leans more towards their father, then the younger brother's looks are more akin to their mother. It is evident that he will grow up to be a handsome young man. In comparison, Dong Bo Xue Ying cannot match his younger brother's charm.

As Dongbo Xueying walked on the snow, he began practicing the "Flame Three-Section Technique," which is a method of fighting energy and also a set of boxing techniques

The long spear suddenly struck the ground, crashing onto the stone slab beneath the snow, then rebounding with force, thrusting forward with a terrifying shriek.

Let Uncle Zong accompany you," Dongbo Xueying said with a smile

After dinner

What is the reason after all

The principle of the Douqi method is to absorb the forces of heaven and earth to nourish the body. Once the body reaches a certain limit and can no longer absorb these forces, they will form Douqi within the body

... ...

As the palm made contact with the crystal ball, the spiritual fluctuations contained within the human body naturally triggered a response within the crystal ball, which immediately emitted a hazy crimson glow that spread throughout the entire room
