Set a goal, and the system takes over the body.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's alright, it's perfect."

Qi Wence nodded subconsciously: "Hmm, that's not bad. I'll continue to cultivate diligently in the future, and then..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, his eyes widening as he stared intently at Qi Xiuyuan.

"What...what did you just say? Perfection?!"

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly: "Yes, I just had a sudden realization, and then it was successfully completed."

He attributed everything to sudden enlightenment.

Anyway, once I get the Yin Fish Jade Pendant, there will be plenty of opportunities for sudden enlightenment in the future. With this fake enlightenment as a starting point, I won't need to bother explaining it too much when another sudden enlightenment occurs in the future.

It's an epiphany.

It's something that can't be forced; no one can predict when such an opportunity will arise.

No one can find fault with it.

Qi Wence nodded repeatedly, looking like he understood. "So it was an epiphany. No wonder. In any case, this is a great opportunity. If you can master the Hundred Battles Blade, those kids from the Zhentian Martial Arts Academy won't be able to hurt you so easily at the Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament in a few days."

He patted Qi Xiuyuan on the shoulder heavily, his face full of satisfaction.

"If your father knew, he'd be overjoyed. By the way, what about your cultivation level? Have you reached the mid-stage of the Qi and Blood Realm?"

Qi Xiuyuan chuckled softly: "Perfect."

Qi Wence was completely stunned.

Having just experienced the impact of the Hundred Battles Blade's perfect strike, he heard it exceptionally clearly this time, but he still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat and his breath catch in his throat.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Qi Xiuyuan's wrist, pressed his pulse, closed his eyes, and focused his mind on sensing.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, slowly released his hand, and looked at Qi Xiuyuan with disbelief in his eyes, shaking his head repeatedly.

"I can't believe it... I really can't believe it! You've actually reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm! Is this... is this what they mean by accumulating knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough, or achieving great things late in life?"

"Hahaha...Good, good, good! Great!"

Qi Wence laughed heartily, then looked at Qi Xiuyuan, his tone becoming more serious.

"Xiuyuan, with your cultivation speed, perhaps your father's wish can truly be fulfilled. Are you willing to help him complete that wish?"

"Second Uncle means participating in the Hundred Dynasties War?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

Qi Wence nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, but not entirely. Your father's wish is for our Qi family's Five Animal Transformation Technique to become famous in the Hundred Dynasties War. Participating in the Hundred Dynasties War is just a necessary stage to achieve this wish."

Qi Xiuyuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Second Uncle, why would my father have such a wish?"

Qi Wence hesitated for a moment: "Well... you can ask your father yourself when he comes out of seclusion."

This answer further confirmed Qi Xiuyuan's initial guess.

There must be some reason behind my father's obsession with the Hundred Dynasties War.

But they all kept their mouths shut and refused to say anything.

That really whets the appetite.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much.

The Hundred Dynasties War is one of the key ways to enter the Hundred Dynasties Palace, obtain the Sacred Bone, and strive to become a Martial Saint. It is also a top stage to witness the young masters of the world and verify one's own martial arts strength.

Moreover, it also provides an opportunity to humiliate those spineless cowards in the Haisheng Palace of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Why not?

He never intended to miss it.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will go to the Hundred Dynasties War."

Qi Wence nodded with satisfaction: "Good, it's good that you have this goal. But for now, you still need to put the Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament first. The sons of our Qi family, if they don't make a sound, they don't make a sound. But when they do, they will make a stunning impact."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded slightly, his hands hanging at his sides slowly clenching into fists.

In the past two years, every time the original owner participated in the martial arts competition, he was severely injured by the people from Zhentian Martial Arts School and carried back.

Han Zhou even declared that he would beat him to a pulp during this year's martial arts competition.

Now that he has taken over this body, he will settle all old and new scores on the martial arts stage, taking back everything with interest.

Especially the traitor Han Zhou!

How can we not beat him to a pulp and make up for the suffering he endured?

Moreover, the prize for the champion of the Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament includes the main medicine for curing Lin Hu, the Bone-Mending Flower.

We need to get our hands on this.

There's also that assassin who crippled Lin Hu back then; if we can take down the martial arts champion, we can lure him out.

Finally, there's the future of Aoyama Martial Arts School.

If Qingshan Martial Arts School is still at the bottom in this martial arts competition, it will be relegated to the lowest-ranking martial arts school.

For various reasons, Qi Xiuyuan had no choice but to participate in the Tianfu Martial Arts Tournament.

Qi Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he thought of Lin Hu.

Lin Lang is dead.

Lin Hu was already devastated by the loss of his bones and muscles, and now he had to endure the pain of losing his brother. To make matters worse, they couldn't reveal the truth about Lin Lang's betrayal of the martial arts school and had to keep it a secret.

Really good fortune.

Moreover, since being crippled, Lin Hu has often stayed indoors and rarely sees anyone.

Qi Xiuyuan calculated that it had been almost half a year since he had seen Lin Hu.

Perhaps I should take some time to visit him.

"Second Uncle, how is Junior Brother Lin Hu doing lately?" Qi Xiuyuan asked.

Qi Wence sighed softly, a hint of regret on his face.

"After Lin Lang died, I went to see him once. He was still the same as before. He didn't say anything and just pretended to be indifferent. I can only imagine how sad he was inside."

"If you have time, go see him. You grew up together, so he might listen to what you have to say."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded.

I should make time to go and take a look.

"By the way, Second Uncle, I also secretly went to Black Wind Stronghold this time and brought back some gold and silver jewelry, as well as a few secret manuals."

"What?!"

Qi Wence was startled, staring straight at him with a look of astonishment on his face.

"How...did you get in? The main force was attacking the mountain from the front, and you were all alone..."

Qi Xiuyuan didn't explain much, he just smiled and led Qi Wence towards his own courtyard.

Once inside, he took out his bundle, untied it, and the luster of gold and silver jewelry immediately shone through.

There was also a secret manual on the side.

"Second Uncle, please keep this gold and silver for now. The martial arts school has been struggling financially lately, so this will help fill the gap. I'll study the manuals for a few days before giving them to you. These two martial arts are of a much higher grade than the Hundred Battles Saber and the Five Animal Fist. You and Dad can try practicing them in the future."

Qi Wence looked at the bag of gold and silver, then at the manual, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He nodded slightly.

"Alright, I'll put the gold and silver away for now, but now is definitely not the time to take them out. We'll wait until the storm of the bandit suppression has completely passed before taking them out little by little to avoid arousing suspicion."

"As for the manual, you can keep an eye on it for now. Don't rush to give it to me. But remember, in martial arts, you can never bite off more than you can chew. Only by specializing in a particular martial art can you turn something rotten into something magical. This is an experience that countless predecessors have verified over their entire lives."

Qi Xiuyuan didn't explain, he just nodded and took out another jade box.

"Second Uncle, I got something else. Can you help me see what it is?"

As he spoke, he opened the jade box.

The black token and the folded map were then presented to Qi Wence.
