Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 227 Summer Vacation

As soon as Qin Xiaochuan entered the dining hall, he saw Guo Shiyi waving and greeting him. After getting his food from the window, he went over and ate at the same table as her.

Seeing that Guo Shiyi was just smiling at him without saying anything, he asked, "What are your plans for the afternoon?"

Guo Shiyi said, "We just arrived today, so we won't go far. I'll just show you around the neighborhood. After lunch, you can take a nap, and then I'll take you to see your master. He wants to meet you."

"Your master wants to see me?" Qin Xiaochuan asked incredulously.

Guo Shiyi nodded, then chuckled and said, "Why are you so nervous? He probably thinks you're quite talented and has potential, so he wants to give you some pointers to prevent you from taking the wrong path."

"I'm not nervous at all," Qin Xiaochuan said awkwardly. "It's just that I often hear you talk about your master. He's a very knowledgeable person, and I'm afraid I won't be able to answer his questions."

"No, my master is very approachable," Guo Shiyi said with a smile, trying to reassure her.

"That's how he treats you. He's not like that with your senior brothers," Jiang Zhujun said from the side, then turned to Jiang Han and asked, "Jiang Han, am I right?"

Jiang Han nodded at first, then immediately shook her head and said, "Master did it for our own good."

"You're all quite filial," Jiang Zhujun said with dissatisfaction.

After lunch, Guo Shiyi went back to her room for a nap. Just as Qin Xiaochuan was about to return to his room, a man dressed as a Taoist priest in his twenties suddenly walked up to him and asked, "You must be Qin Xiaochuan?"

He nodded, looking at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"Are you free now? Shall I take you for a walk in the back mountain?" the man said.

Qin Xiaochuan saw Jiang Han repeatedly winking at him, but before he could speak, he heard the man ask Jiang Han with a stern face, "Jiang Han, are you coming over too?"

Jiang Han quickly waved his hand with an embarrassed smile and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, I live here permanently, so I don't need to go over." After saying that, he ran off in a flash.

Seeing Jiang Han walk away, the man gestured to Qin Xiaochuan with his eyes. Qin Xiaochuan still remembered what Jiang Han had told him before the meal, but judging from the other party's posture, it was clear that he could not refuse. He had no choice but to nod in agreement.

So he followed the man toward the back of the mountain. As they walked, the man introduced himself to him, and he realized that the man was actually Guo Shiyi's seventh senior brother, Luo Hao.

As they talked, they turned a bend in the mountain and arrived at the back of the mountain. Qin Xiaochuan saw a waterfall cascading down the mountain, with water vapor filling the valley, like a fairyland. There was a small pool at the bottom of the waterfall, with several stone pillars in the pool. Several young people dressed in white Taoist robes were standing or sitting on the stone pillars, practicing their skills with their eyes closed.

As soon as Qin Xiaochuan stepped into the back mountain, Luo Hao said, "I've often heard Junior Sister Shiyi say that you have extraordinary talent and are progressing rapidly. How about we have a match here today?"

Before Qin Xiaochuan could reply, the opponent launched a "Sun and Moon Palm" attack at him.

The situation changed suddenly. Qin Xiaochuan almost instinctively reached out to block the opponent's move, but the opponent failed to land the first move and the next one followed immediately. Qin Xiaochuan was forced to fight back.

Before long, the two had exchanged more than ten blows, and clicked to begin their wondrous journey in "The Revelation of Heaven's Path." Although Qin Xiaochuan had been practicing physical skills for some time, it was almost entirely focused on strength and agility. The physical skills he had learned, Blood Surge and Swiftness Technique, were the same. In terms of moves, he had practically no formal training and was just throwing out moves randomly based on instinct.

Unlike Qin Xiaochuan, Luo Hao had been cultivating here for many years, and his Wudang Chunyang Fist was already at a high level. Every punch he threw carried the force of wind and thunder, and in less than ten rounds, he had already forced Qin Xiaochuan to retreat step by step.

Qin Xiaochuan was increasingly strapped for cash and felt deeply distressed. He wanted to use his skills to retaliate, but seeing that his opponent was only using physical skills, he dared not act rashly and could only rely on his strong defense to barely hold on.

Finally, when he managed to hold on for the eighteenth move, his opponent used a move called "Python Emerging from its Cave" to send him flying. The place where he landed was a stone pillar in the pool.

A person who had been cultivating with their eyes closed was standing on the stone pillar. When they saw him flying over, they lightly leaped up, did a slight somersault in the air, and when they landed, their hands had already turned into claws and were grabbing at him.

When Qin Xiaochuan landed on the stone pillar, he immediately grabbed the pillar with both feet, leaned back and bent into an arc. Just as he was about to fall into the water, he slapped the water's surface with force, and his upper body bounced up, just in time to meet the claws above.

He had no choice but to use his right arm to block the opponent's attack. Under the pressure, his upper body sank again, and he relied on the strength of his legs to try to keep himself from falling into the water.

After blocking the opponent's attack, he reached out to grab the opponent's arm, trying to use the opponent to stand up straight. However, the opponent changed his move very quickly and had already exerted force on his arm, leaping into the air again. Qin Xiaochuan could not catch him.

So the two of them, one in the air and the other fixed on a stone pillar, exchanged blows in a strange posture. The man in the Taoist robe was as light as a swallow, flying up and down. Qin Xiaochuan felt a blow to his arm one moment and a palm strike to his chest the next. Before he could recover, his opponent kicked him and used the force to fly to another stone pillar.

On the second stone pillar stood a man in a Taoist robe, who was holding a wooden sword. Upon seeing this, he immediately flew towards another man holding a wooden sword and landed on his shoulder. The two of them then swung their swords up and down, aiming to stab Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan happened to be standing on the stone pillar at this moment. Seeing this, he had no choice but to raise a silver shield to block the opponent's attack. However, compared with his opponent, his physical skills were really bad. The two opponents' sword skills were exquisite. Countless sword flowers flew in front of his eyes. For a moment, he felt more and more helpless and could only do his best to defend. He had no power to fight back.

The three fought like this for four or five minutes. Qin Xiaochuan had completely given up and was only using the Xuanwu Shield to block his vital parts. He let the opponent's sword strikes fall on other parts of his body and then used the Qilin Armor to deflect them. Fortunately, the opponent obviously did not use heavy force, so he was not seriously injured.

Seeing his reaction, the other party had no choice but to stop attacking. Just as Qin Xiaochuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the water in the pool beneath his feet begin to churn violently. Having experienced many battles, he knew exactly what was about to happen and immediately formed a hand seal.

Sure enough, with a loud dragon's roar, a water dragon emerged from the pool and charged towards Qin Xiaochuan.

"Water Dragon's Roar." A clear voice slowly rose from behind the water dragon.

Qin Xiaochuan was prepared. He exhaled and unleashed a Blazing Dance skill towards the head of the water dragon.
