Cosmic Demon

Chapter 282 The Road Ahead!

In the interior setting, Qin Shi observes Lao He creating a second personality.

"This 'honey badger' attitude of attacking anyone he sees is exactly like Lao Qi's, completely lacking my gentle and easygoing nature."

Qin Shi couldn't help but grin, looking at his own arrogant and cocky demeanor as he slashed at people with a sidelong glance. He felt a strange and subtle feeling.

It's like creating an account in a game and leveling up a secondary character; the experience is completely different.

"Let's see if this 'Qin Wuxiang' is really more ferocious than me."

Qin Shi squinted his eyes, settled comfortably in the interior setting, and waited for Qin Wuxiang's performance.

boom!
With a disdainful look in his eyes, as if he were defiant to everyone, "Qin Wuxiang" was thrown into the spiritual world evolved from "The Only Way Through the Ages".

"interesting."

This "Qin Wuxiang" always held his head high and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"A natural-born powerhouse like myself is truly only worthy of being my own opponent."

Don't you feel ashamed to say such things?

Qin Shi silently grumbled to himself, finding it hard to look Lao Qi in the eye, his illusions about the original Ten Heroes shattered once again.

Thinking back to the finals of the Stars Challenge, Lao Qi and Lao He were trash-talking each other and couldn't stand each other.

"Who would have thought that the peerless hero who would become a God of War would be like this?"

Qin Shi shook his head, feeling deeply moved.

Back then, I secretly lingered in video arcades, watching the Star Cup matches with blurry video quality. I never imagined that one day I would be taught a lesson by two of the top martial arts masters.

The spiritual world evolved from "The Only Way Through the Ages" was touched, and flesh and blood automatically split, condensing into a living incarnation.

Two crimson figures slowly stepped out of the portal, their life force bursting forth like enormous fireballs, radiating intense heat.

"They probably both have a third level of energy, one specializing in 'Military Strategy' and the other proficient in 'Hundred Aspects of Form Refinement'."

Qin Shi assessed that if it were him, he would probably have to fight a tough battle to win.

I wonder how Qin Wuxiang will perform?

"Such pure vitality, such a perfect physique, such powerful stats, yet it's impossible to complete the speedrun."

Qin Wuxiang, who looked down upon all around, smiled coldly:
"Having mastered so many inheritances, we should make good use of them! As long as we are not killed, they will transform and evolve!"

Qin Wuxiang first activated the "Military Strategy", mobilizing all his life force to attack the node and burn his foundation.

The once perfectly balanced core was shattered, and the indestructible platinum aura was instantly tainted, turning as black as ink.

"The key to victory in all battles is lethality! As long as my attacks are powerful enough, as long as I can kill the enemy before they can hit me..."

Qin Wuxiang grinned, his eyes looking down at the world with disdain, like a cold statue cast in steel.

Faced with the two blood-red figures approaching him, he slowly clenched his fists.

Pure and incomparable vitality, like inexhaustible firewood, is continuously poured into the furnace of mortal bodies.

Field unfolds!

It was as if a pitch-black curtain had fallen, covering the surroundings and assimilating them!

"No matter how powerful the opponent is, they are nothing more than a puppet that split off from 'me'!"
When it comes to willpower and spirit, who can compare to the Venerable One!

As the pitch-black field unfolded, Qin Wuxiang strode forward, his life force roaring like a torrent, rushing towards the two blood-red figures.

boom!boom!
Two loud bangs!

The blood-red figure was like a plump fruit that had been crushed, splattering drops of juice!

"Become my nourishment, so that I can go further on the path of evolution."

Qin Wuxiang remained expressionless, spreading his arms wide. Under the control of his will, the dark field refined and absorbed the two shattered blood-red figures, bringing them into his body!

"Is this Old Qi's cultivation method? Killing oneself in an extremely brutal way, refining everything with absolute willpower!"

Qin Shi seemed to be deep in thought. No wonder Lao He said that he lacked the mind to be invincible and that it would be difficult for him to master the "One and Only Way Through the Ages".

The path pioneered by Qi Wuxiang does not require exceptional comprehension or unparalleled talent.

Rather, it is a madman's obsession and ego, and a terrifying determination to pursue evolution and power.

"The inheritance of the Martial God is not precious; the seed of the Martial God is rare."

Qin Shi gained a deeper understanding of what Lao Chen had said.

Whether it's Qi Wuxiang, He Lanchan, Yan Haishan, or Ning Yuanhai.

These legends, whose light illuminates the Milky Way and shines over the starry sea, have all left their own paths.

However, very few people have been able to catch up with and replicate the legend.

“Every legendary path is inevitably the culmination of their hard work and the burning of their spirit and will.”

"If the Monument Panel hadn't absorbed He Lan Chan's martial arts essence, the Void Meditation Technique wouldn't have been so easy to learn."

Qin Shi sat cross-legged in the inner landscape, delving deeper into himself and beginning to contemplate his future path.

Once he surpasses the professional level and heads towards the fourth stage of the Heavenly Gate, he will need to forge his own path.

Seniors like Lao He and Lao Qi can only serve as guides.

Unless Qin Shi wants to become the second Qi Wuxiang, or the second He Lanchan.

"Following Super Little He, there is now Super Little Qin."

Before breaking through to the first level of the professional level, I still need to really squeeze money out of Lao Qi and Lao He.

Qin Shi rested his chin on his hands, and the spiritual world evolved by "The Only Way Through the Ages" resonated deeply with "Qin Wuxiang," as clusters of blood-red figures were refined.

Whenever Qin Wuxiang was close to the point of exhaustion, the crimson figure would become nourishment, pushing him away. "It's truly the limit, like walking a tightrope."

Qin Shi silently studied and accumulated experience, occasionally letting his thoughts wander as he compared the two legends, Lao Qi and Lao He.

Old Qi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he was rather reckless. He was always ready to do anything, and he would dare to try anything as long as he had a 30-40% chance of evolving.

Old He, on the other hand, was a master of the art of survival of the fittest. He was a late bloomer, only beginning to show his true colors in middle age, like a stunning dark horse that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, almost overthrowing Qi Wuxiang, who had been invincible since his youth.

"In the end, it is the reckless and daring person who has survived to this day."

Those who meticulously planned and cautiously developed their abilities died young, passing away prematurely.

The Qin Dynasty was a time of sighs, and it seemed as if fate truly held sway over everything.

Is it only by crossing the end of the path, ascending the throne of the gods, and becoming a pillar of the universe that one can transcend?

No longer at the mercy of so-called fate?

……

……

Outside the Huangquan Training Camp, the dirt road leading to the inner ring city was shrouded in billowing dust.

In the middle of the convoy, in a military jeep, a member of the committee, who appeared to be an administrative officer, said:
"What's wrong with Fu Lei! Knowing that the leader is inspecting the area, why didn't he arrange for anyone to greet him?"

Yao Guodong waved his hand dismissively.
“Hey, Lao Zhou, let’s not be formalistic. This trip was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I wanted to see what the ‘King of Soldiers’ who broke through the Spider-Man’s Nest really looked like.”

Committee Member Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Yao Guodong, as the highest administrative official of Baiyang Fortress City, was known for being down-to-earth and liking to go deep into the front lines to understand the situation.

However, having been within the system for so long, Committee Member Zhou still had some concerns, worrying that any shortcomings in handling the details would be used against him.

“Fu Lei is stubborn. With his abilities, he shouldn’t be stuck in the Yellow Springs Training Camp as an instructor.”

Yao Guodong lamented that in frontier areas like Hengzhou, too many people's blood and lives have been lost.

It is because of the relentless efforts of the Eastern Xia that the current Galactic Civilization and powerful races have been created.

"Lord, that young Qin and that person from the Tai'an metropolitan area..."

Committee Member Zhou suddenly asked.

"I don't know. There's no official notification from the rear, so there's no need for us to speculate. Let's rely on the information from the central city and avoid causing any trouble."

Yao Guodong narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

Committee Member Zhou immediately understood and grasped the meaning.

Since the central city didn't issue a notice, it meant they didn't want to make it public that Xiao Qin Jiaoyang had come to the front lines. Baiyang Fortress City certainly couldn't go against the governor's office.

"arrive."

Yao Guodong, in his prime, still maintained the style he had worn when he was in the army. He put on an octagonal cap made of coarse cloth and was the first to jump off the vehicle.

Before the guards at the post could speak, Committee Member Zhou had someone hand him the pass.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been to the training camp. Years ago, I even went to the grassroots level to guide new recruits..."

Yao Guodong was filled with nostalgia and high spirits. When he arrived at the office building, Fu Lei and Song Xingshan were already late.

"Xiao Fu, judging from your expression, you're not very welcoming. What, do you think I'm causing you trouble?"

Yao Guodong laughed heartily and patted Fu Lei, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, on the shoulder:

"I just happened to be passing by and came to check out some promising talents. I won't interfere with your training. Where are they? Don't hide them away."

Committee Member Zhou echoed:

"Instructor Fu, Xiao Qin has really made your Yellow Springs Training Camp stand out. Bring him over here quickly so the commander can see him!"

Fu Lei winced in pain and exchanged a glance with Song Xing, who pretended not to notice.

The commander came all this way in high spirits to see the king of soldiers. Was he going to tell him that Xiao Qin was already in a vegetative state?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?

"Ahem, sir."

Fu Lei racked his brains, trying to figure out how to dodge it.

"That Xiao Qin had only been back from the contaminated area for a short time. He had gone through several battles and was even ambushed by the cultists halfway through his journey. It was a thrilling experience!"
He's suffered a great deal, both mentally and physically... Perhaps I should wait until he's fully recovered before allowing him to meet with you, sir?"

Yao Guodong frowned, his face showing displeasure:

"Xiao Fu, I remember you never used to do these fancy things, what's gotten into you?"
Is Xiao Qin injured? Perfect timing, I have a military medic with me, and I've brought plenty of high-quality nutritional supplements.”

The leader came prepared!

Fu Lei felt even more troubled.

"Xiao Qin is not injured. He is in very good condition. He just exchanged for black medicine and afterimage crystals and is working hard to develop his vitality in preparation for breaking through to a higher level."

Helpless, Song Xing also helped cover for them.

They managed to get the head of the military hospital to come to the Huangquan Training Camp.

"The younger generation is truly formidable. I was the same way back then; as soon as the mission was over, I devoted myself entirely to cultivation..."

Yao Guodong nodded in approval.

"In that case, let's not bother them..."

Fu Lei and Song Xing breathed a long sigh of relief, finally having survived this ordeal.

But before the heart that had been in her throat could settle, she heard Yao Guodong say:

"Old Zhou, let's not put on airs. Now that we're here, how can we not take a look at the most outstanding young soldier king among the three training camps of Baiyang Fortress City!"
"Xiao Fu, lead the way!"
