Chapter 3: Brilliant Greenery
Collecting his thoughts, he stood up with a forceful movement of both hands, brushed off the grass clippings on his body, and walked out of the courtyard.
Young Master!
Young Master!
Walking on the small paths between the buildings in the house, the passing guards and servants all bowed to Ling Qingyan, who smiled and responded one by one, without a hint of impatience.
Ling Qingyan, deeply influenced by his previous life's environment, did not have a strong sense of hierarchy in his bones.
"It's better not to go out for these two days, or mom will worry again! After all, I just woke up today..."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Ling Qingyan muttered to himself in a low voice. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and then his right thumb and middle finger touched each other, making a crisp sound. "Ah! It's been a long time since I last visited the Second Elder and the others. It's been several months already. This time, with their ability to gather information, they should have known about my coma long ago."
With a destination in mind, Ling Qing's heart was determined, and he turned left onto the small path ahead.
"Green shoots!"
Just as he turned into the small alley, a voice suddenly came from the front. Ling Qingyan looked up and saw a young man in blue robes smiling at him, his face full of laughter that didn't match his mature appearance.
"Fourth Uncle," Ling Qingyan also smiled and stepped forward a few steps to stand alongside the young man.
"Haha! Qingyan, I heard that your headache came back two days ago? You're awake today," the young man looked at the youth in front of him with a flush on his face, and the doting in his eyes flashed by. "However, San Shu hasn't rested much for these two days. You say this illness of yours, how come it always comes so suddenly, and no doctor can cure it!"
This young man was Ling Qingyan's fourth uncle, "Ling Ran". Although he was already over thirty years old, he still had a childlike heart. In fact, people in the Ling family were still discussing behind his back that this fourth master was not as mature as the young masters.
The Third Aunt in Ling Ran's mouth was actually the mother of Ling Qingwan, Shangguan Yun. The master of the Ling family, Ling Ao, ranked third among their generation of direct descendants!
Ling Qingyan had always vaguely heard that his father had an older brother and a second sister, but he had never seen them. Every time Ling Qingyan asked his parents and Fourth Uncle, they would fall silent. Over time, Ling Qingyan got used to it. He also understood that if his parents didn't want to talk about it, they must have their own concerns.
"It's nothing serious, just sleep it off," Ling Qingyan said with a moved heart, "By the way! Fourth Uncle, where are you preparing to go?"
"It's been so many years, isn't it a big deal?"
Ling Yan let out a rare, mature sigh, clearly also concerned about Ling Qingyan. He then replied: "I'm going out to buy some things and take a stroll around. How about it? Want to go out with Fourth Uncle and take a look?"
"Never mind!" Ling Qingyan also wanted to go out, but it's not possible now. "I was just about to go see Second Elder, and if I go out at this hour, my mother will definitely scold me again!"
"Haha!"
He burst out laughing and then said: "No wonder everyone in the family says you're sensible! Alright, Fourth Uncle, I'll take my leave first. Feel free to come find me anytime when you're free."
Watching the distant back view, a warm smile appeared on Ling Qingyan's slightly tender face.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and had spent the first fifteen years of his life in a state of destitution and helplessness. It wasn't until he met his older brother "Tieshan" that his life began to take a turn for the better.
In this life, he was the son of a noble family, dazzling and admired by all. In this life, he had parents who cared for him, loved ones. In this life, he was no longer lonely! The Ling family gave him many things that he didn't have in his previous life, making him feel the warmth of family!
These were what he had been dreaming of in his past life!
He cherished it very much.
………
Hoo! Hoo!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not yet approaching the courtyard where the two elders were, a thick and muffled sound came from the left side outside, Ling Qingyan's expression changed slightly, and then he suddenly turned around and headed in the direction of the sound.
Within the range of tens of meters in diameter, no flowers or grass grow on this solid land. As for why, just look at the two dazzling deep blue shadows that keep intersecting and separating on this piece of land now!
Ling Qingyan didn't know when she had sat down on a small stone step to the side, her eyes narrowed as she watched the two old men in the arena.
"Lao Wu, you're still so sinister!"
The old man in gray, seeing the old man in green glance at Ling Qingyan out of the corner of his eye, suddenly came up with a thunderous fist, and was forced to roll to one side in a low and disheveled manner, then stood up and shouted angrily.
"Haha!"
The old man in the green robe seemed to have not heard anything, and the deep blue light between his legs suddenly surged violently. Then, his legs slightly bent and exerted force, and his entire body shot out like a cannonball.
Oddly, this green-robed old man's leap completely defied the common sense of the many people in the Eastern country where Ling Qingyan was last. This jump was at least over 4 meters high! If he were to participate in the Olympic high jump competition, winning the championship would be a cinch!
Ling Qingyan, who was watching from the side, seemed to have no look of surprise on his face, as if it were a normal occurrence.
"Second brother, take this!"
His body seemed as light as a feather, the old man in green robe suddenly turned his body in mid-air, and the influence of gravity on him didn't seem to be very big. Then, the green-robed old man's palms burst out with a sudden surge of cyan light, pushing towards the sky!
Wow!
As if subjected to an enormous counterforce, the green-robed elder's body suddenly recoiled, his legs sandwiching a dazzling cyan light that shot towards the grey-robed elder who had just stood up. For a moment, the air around the green-robed elder's legs was slightly stagnant, and a strange whistling sound echoed through the air.
"Bang!"
The old man in gray didn't even lift his head to look at the old man in green, and the two legs between him burst into a bright blue light. His entire body shifted to the left side. The old man in green, however, did not reduce his momentum and directly slammed onto the ground. With this loud noise, the solid earth first trembled slightly, and then several cracks split open along with the old man's feet!
This leg is incredibly powerful!
This thick and solid land, at a glance, it's clear that it has been trampled by countless years, and even with swords and sabers, it's hard to leave deep marks on it! But the green-robed old man's astonishingly beautiful leg directly caused this land to crack open, with an impact radius of nearly three meters!
Can human physical strength reach this level?
No!
The old man in the green robe's leg, the reason why its power is so strong, is not due to his own physical strength, but completely because of that one stock of deep blue light that suddenly burst out from his leg! That's not some dazzling effect, but the true power unique to warriors on the continent of Chongwu!
The strength of a warrior comes entirely from their true power gained through cultivation!
Ling Qingyan's previous life in the ancient Eastern country, where he practiced internal breathing to strengthen himself. Internal breathing is commonly known as internal power, with immense might! In this life on the Chongwu continent, there also exists a True Power that differs little from internal power.
True strength is the foundation of a warrior's training!
The two old men in the field burst out with a brilliant green light, which was the true power they had cultivated, and it was the effect of releasing their true power!
