Chapter 3: The Strange Father and Son

"These few killing techniques, did you create them yourself?" Chu Yun silently approached Chu Xiong from behind, devoid of any emotional hue.

Indeed, among the strongest of the sixteen tribes, Ling Meng, the chieftain of the Cangfeng tribe, possesses only a second-tier killing technique. Relying on this second-tier killing technique has allowed Ling Meng to hold a prominent position among the sixteen tribes

Even so, Chu Yun nodded and said, "Very good! Being able to create a third-tier killing technique is already quite impressive! Even the strongest among the sixteen surrounding tribes possess only a second-tier killing technique. However, do not become arrogant; remember that there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens"

Faced with this seemingly reticent yet profoundly mysterious father of the present life, Chuxiong felt somewhat perplexed. Having undergone three reincarnations, Chuxiong adapted quickly. Moreover, as the saying goes, one’s body and skin are bestowed by one’s parents; Chuxiong held great respect and cherished each of his biological parents in every life. It is indeed rare to have the fate of being father and son in a single lifetime.

The moon is bright and the stars are few, and the air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh

I have long since become accustomed to it; let it be as it may! Chuxiong smiled calmly and continued to practice the third level of the "Xuantian Blade" mental technique. As long as I can master this third level, I should have some ability to protect myself, right? After all, it is equivalent to a third-tier killing technique in this world

The strength of one's Star Soul Power signifies the level attained by a practitioner. However, if a practitioner masters higher-level killing techniques, they can compensate for the deficiency in Star Soul Power during actual combat. The level of killing techniques can surpass that of the *manual*, even allowing them to eliminate opponents of a higher rank. Generally speaking, a killing technique that is one level higher is almost equivalent to an actual combat power increase of one "rank" in Star Soul Power.

Indeed, those who can harness star soul power and become soul warriors are few in number. The majority of practitioners remain at the level of martial artists. Only by breaking through the ninth rank of martial artists and possessing the peculiar methods of star soul cultivation can one become a powerful soul warrior

Monsters are rampant, how difficult it is for the people; Heaven has sent forth the Soul Warriors, to sweep away the demonic flames

This mysterious old man! Chuxiong helplessly smiled and shook his head

In summary, the mutual curiosity and yet the restraint from excessive interference characterize the relationship between this father and son over the years. However, Chu Yun's concern for Chu Xiong indeed comes from genuine feelings and nature, a fact that Chu Xiong is well aware of. True paternal affection cannot be fabricated or feigned.

Chu Yun turned to look at Chu Xiong, a hint of barely perceptible amusement appearing on his stern face, which then returned to its usual coldness. "He is still just a child. As for what the future holds, who knows? Let us hasten our journey; there are still dozens of miles to go to the training ground."

Indeed, the origins of Chuxiong himself are even more enigmatic. This father and son appear to be two clouds of mist, and once they merge, they become increasingly elusive.

But what about you, Father? Chuxiong watched the majestic figure depart, speaking to himself in his heart

Moreover, both the book and the person know that this is a third-rate killing technique, yet they remain completely unfazed. Could it be that you are entirely indifferent to such a level of killing technique? If so, what kind of cultivation must you possess? How could you have endured under Ling Meng all this time?

is not

Even so, the reputation of Chuxiong has already become quite prominent among the surrounding sixteen tribes. After all, Chu Yun, who is known as the first warrior of the Qingqiu tribe, is merely an eighth-tier martial artist in the eyes of others. As for the so-called strongest of the Cangfeng tribe, Ling Meng, he has only barely stepped into the realm of Soul Martial.

In the Soul Martial Realm, there lies a vast yet obscure mountain range, lush and green, known as Mount Da Wu. At the waist of the mountain, a group of hunters clad in animal skin garments and wielding crude weapons are spiritedly shouting their rugged chants, regardless of whether they are in tune or not

Behind him stood a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy carried a low-quality long sword on his back and held a docile blue fox in his arms, remaining silent as well

In this Soul Martial Realm, there exist powerful beast demons, as well as formidable Star Soul Warriors, collectively known as Soul Warriors. The comprehensive strength of Soul Warriors derives from two aspects: one is "Star Soul Power," and the other is "Killing Techniques"

Do not underestimate this "reluctant entry". It is important to know that in the Soul Martial Realm, many practitioners remain at the level of martial artists. Those who can attract Star Soul Power and become Soul Warriors are exceedingly rare. In addition to possessing the Star Soul Technique to draw upon Star Soul Power, there are also certain limitations regarding one's innate qualifications.

Currently, Chuxiong has already reached the realm of a ninth-tier martial artist by utilizing the cultivation methods from his previous life as detailed on https://wwwhetushucom.com. Chuyun has long been aware of this. However, the father and son have always maintained a low profile, publicly claiming that Chuxiong has attained the strength of a sixth-tier martial artist

In the distance, Chu Yun watched his son tirelessly practicing, a fleeting glimmer of paternal love shining in his eyes before it faded into indifference. This burly man sighed inwardly: "Alas, what a pity for such a delicate heart. A genius capable of creating killing techniques on his own at such a young age is fewer than three in a thousand years. Unfortunately, he possesses a body that is inherently severed from the root of the star soul. Ah Xiong, your path in soul martial arts is destined to be more arduous than others." A genius capable of creating killing techniques on his own at such a young age is fewer than three in a thousand years. Unfortunately, he possesses a body that is inherently severed from the root of the star soul. Ah Xiong, your path in soul martial arts is destined to be more arduous than others.

Indeed, it must be so! Chuxiong has always believed this.

For example, a rank 8 martial artist, if they master a rank 3 killing technique, would be able to fight to a draw with a rank 9 martial artist who has mastered a rank 2 killing technique. Furthermore, it is even possible for them to kill a rank 9 martial artist who has mastered a rank 1 killing technique

Suddenly, a group of strong men also began to murmur their admiration in unison

"Chu Yun, tomorrow will depend entirely on you!" A person who appeared to be a leader said to a burly man with a thick beard, "We do not expect to seize the position of the leader among the tribes, but we should not lose too disgracefully. If we can rank higher than the bottom among the sixteen tribes, our Qingqiu tribe will not be considered a disgrace. After all, our tribe is small and has few members. Fortunately, you joined our Qingqiu tribe two years ago; otherwise, the disastrous defeat from three years ago would surely repeat itself, haha.

The man named "Chu Yun," a burly figure with a thick beard, nodded but did not speak. He was in his forties, with a robust physique, and his muscular limbs were covered in blue veins, indicating immense explosive power.

However, what has always puzzled Chuxiong is that, judging from various signs, his father, Chuyun, should also be a Soul Warrior. So why did he not teach him the Star Soul Technique? Could it be that he wanted him to remain in the warrior stage for a longer period, thereby laying a more solid foundation? Chuxiong's cultivation in his previous three lives was quite high, and he understood the importance of the foundational stage.

Regarding his father's sudden appearances and disappearances, Chuxiong felt no surprise at all. He slowly retracted his sword stance, turned around, and revealed a calm smile, saying, "Hmm. Father, do you think these few moves are acceptable?"

This young man is Chuxiong, and the one ahead, "Chuyun," is his father in this life, as well as the foremost warrior of the Qingqiu tribe. Two years ago, the father and son moved from a certain forest to the Qingqiu tribe.

The members of the Qingqiu tribe, exhausted from a long day, have all fallen asleep. However, not far away, in a cluster of small trees, Chuxiong is still wielding his long knife. Although the knife is crude, it does not diminish the brilliance of his techniques. At times fierce and aggressive, at others light and elusive, he exudes the demeanor of a master.

... ...

The leader laughed again, saying: "I am not belittling you, Chu Yun! Although you are currently the number one warrior of the tribe, once your son A Xiong grows up, he will surely be stronger than you! At such a young age, he is already a sixth-tier martial artist, tsk tsk!"

In fact, this is the "Xuantian Blade" that Chuxiong learned in his previous life, and it is merely the lower-level skills from the "Xuantian Blade". However, in this life, Chuxiong's strength has not yet reached the required level to wield the profound techniques of the "Xuantian Blade". Of course, it goes without saying that he cannot even compare to the "Dragon Soul Profound Spirit Blade" that brought him fame in his previous life.

One can immediately discern that this sword technique is a third-rate killing skill; what remarkable insight that is

However, this father in the present world is somewhat peculiar. Even though Chuxiong has already reached the age of fourteen and possesses nearly two hundred years of life experience, he still cannot discern the true nature of his father, Chuyun. This is undoubtedly a rather strange matter

Such questions are actually something Chuxiong has long been accustomed to. Of course, Chuyun, as his father, finds it quite strange that Chuxiong has rapidly ascended to the ninth rank of martial artist and occasionally displays powerful killing techniques. However, since Chuxiong claims that these abilities are spontaneous, Chuyun has no way to intervene.

"Still the same saying, unless absolutely necessary, do not expose your killing techniques, lest you attract trouble!" After Chu Yun finished speaking, he turned and left, adding, "Rest early, as we have to continue our journey tomorrow"

Ultimately, we were unable to reach the so-called training ground before sunset, and the group had no choice but to camp in an open area. Traveling at night is a major taboo for these tribespeople, as countless ferocious beasts often lurk in the mountains and forests. If luck is not on their side, they may even encounter powerful beast spirits! Nighttime is precisely when these ferocious beasts and beast spirits roam freely.
