Gang Qi! Lufan never expected that he would inadvertently create this thing. This is a legendary entity, a form of divine power in Taoism.
According to the records in Taoist scriptures, those who cultivate the Dao go against the heavens, and thus their path is fraught with tribulations. A moment of carelessness could lead to death and the complete loss of their efforts.
Therefore, cultivators must possess powerful protective means to safeguard their cultivation. Gang Qi is one such method of protection.
Once a cultivator reaches a profound level, they can master Gang Qi, which is divided into internal and external forms. Internal Gang Qi protects the body, while external Gang Qi is used to attack enemies. The two serve as both offense and defense, wielding immense power.
According to the Nine Yang Divine Skill manual, when one reaches great mastery, they can cultivate internal Gang Qi, which provides the indestructible protection of a diamond.
Unfortunately, Lufan is still far from this realm; he cannot yet comprehend what such an existence entails.
It is said that external Gang Qi can destroy anything. However, what Lufan has currently grasped is still far from that level. Not only is his attack range short, but it also requires a long buildup to unleash even a trace of Gang Qi's effect. In the ever-changing dynamics of battle, its practicality is limited.
Yet it is clear that he has already begun to exhibit some characteristics of Gang Qi. Given time, as Lufan's strength and control improve, he may truly be able to cultivate the legendary Gang Qi.
At that time, his attack power could increase significantly!
Moreover, although Gang Qi is domineering, it has a flaw: its attack range is very short, only a few inches. It can only exert its power in close combat.
However, Lufan primarily practices martial arts and excels in close combat; thus, Gang Qi is evidently more suitable for him. After all, this is a form of divine power!
Furthermore, inadvertently cultivating Gang Qi has opened another avenue for Lufan. Myths and legends may not be as lofty as they seem; those legendary powers are not entirely out of reach.
In the past, he was limited by his thinking and always regarded legends as mere tales. Those ethereal deities were merely constructs of human imagination, and the various powerful divine abilities seemed entirely unreasonable—products of imagination alone.
But now that he thinks about it, with his own strength and rapid enhancement, he may not be inferior to those legendary figures in the future. To the people on Earth now, isn’t he already akin to a being at the level of an immortal?
If that’s the case, why shouldn’t he be able to achieve what those legendary immortals can do?
Crack!
As thoughts flowed, Lufan felt a jolt, as if he had grasped something important.
Divinity is not aloof, and divine powers are not entirely unattainable. He sensed that within those words lay something very significant for him.
Unfortunately, he could not seize that fleeting inspiration at the moment.
Just as Lufan was deep in thought, someone suddenly interrupted his train of thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lufan was startled awake and looked up to find Duanmu Xue and her five companions standing in front of him, gazing at him curiously.
"Good morning. It's nothing much; I was just pondering some Martial Arts Techniques."
"Oh." Duanmu Xue paid no mind; for a Martial Cultivator, contemplating martial arts is quite normal.
However, Lufan's next question made her a bit flustered.
"What about you all? Coming over so early, is there something going on?"
The group suddenly felt awkward, unsure of what to say.
Lufan found it strange: "Is there something you can't talk about?"
After a brief moment of awkwardness, Zhao Xingjian forced a smile and said, "It's still because of you."
"What does that have to do with me?" Lufan felt confused.
"Your performance yesterday was so astonishing that now the entire Qingyang City is talking about it. Qingyang Academy has produced a once-in-a-lifetime genius. When we got home, we were almost immediately summoned by the elders of our clan to inquire about you.
Of course, we only shared what we could; there are many things we did not disclose, so you can rest assured."
Lufan smiled. He trusted these companions with whom he had shared life and death experiences.
Zhao Xingjian continued, "After that, we were repeatedly reminded to befriend you and to hold on tight to this future golden opportunity.
And here we are, being rushed out early this morning just to get closer to you."
Zhao Xingjian's words were blunt and straightforward, making everyone feel a bit embarrassed. It seemed that such talk would mix something into their friendship, making it less pure.
Especially the three girls, who recalled how their elders had strongly encouraged them to develop a relationship with Lufan. They felt shy, even Duanmu Xue, who usually acted carefree.
Lufan was somewhat speechless but not surprised. Given the potential he had displayed, it was normal for those families to want to establish goodwill.
An excellent family seeks long-term inheritance; in addition to maintaining a good internal operating mechanism, they must also know how to cultivate broad connections. In many ways, connections can be a family's greatest wealth.
And a genius is the highest quality connection.
The usual practice of families is to first recruit those talented individuals with potential. If recruitment fails, they maintain a good relationship, especially when the genius has not yet matured; this often leads to substantial returns in the future. It can be considered a form of long-term investment.
Since Lufan had openly showcased his strength, he anticipated that such situations would continue to arise.
"And then? Are you still burdened with some mission to invite me to a banquet?" Lufan asked.
Duanmu Xue's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know?"
Lufan shook his head. "It's obvious."
"Are you going or not?" Duanmu Xue asked with a hint of anticipation, and the others looked at him in the same way.
Lufan shook his head again. "I have more important things to do and don't want to deal with this for now."
Although the others felt a bit disappointed, they didn't mind too much. They understood Lufan well enough to know that he preferred to be alone and didn't like such gatherings.
However, they were curious about what he considered more important. What could possibly be more significant at this moment?
In response to their confusion, Lufan directly said, "I am preparing to meet the Master."
The others were taken aback. To them, the Master was a mysterious figure. Although they had all received guidance from him, they still knew nothing about his true identity.
Now that Lufan mentioned he was going to see the Master, it immediately drew their attention. Even for them, meeting the Master was not something that could be arranged easily.
"You’re going to see the Master? He’s not that easy to meet," Duanmu Xue remarked.
As far as they knew, countless people in Qingyang Academy wanted to meet the Master but couldn't. Even those from the city lord's mansion would often find themselves turned away. Lufan was just a servant; it seemed unlikely he would be able to see the Master.
However, thinking about Lufan's exceptional talents, they felt somewhat reassured. Perhaps even the Master would be curious enough to meet him.
Duanmu Xue and the others were unaware that Lufan could meet the Master at any time.
"I have some doubts in my heart, and I fear only the Master can answer them," Lufan said solemnly.
