Chapter 3: Must Get Stronger

  Qin Tian dared not do anything to the old sow in the pigpen, as it gave birth to two litters of piglets every year, all of which were used for roasting whole pigs. If he killed it, Zhang Dafu would surely flay him alive.

  There is now a set of upgrade systems. Qin Tian seems to see his glorious tomorrow and can't help but feel excited in his heart.

  "Master, have you broken through to the second stage of martial arts? I see that you're different from before." Mong Lei said in puzzlement. Qin Tian's dantian was damaged and he couldn't break through to the second stage, which he had known for a long time. Just now, he clearly felt that Qin Tian's aura had become sharper by several degrees, which was obviously a sign of breaking through.

  In the Tianyuan Continent, martial artists cannot do without the Qi Gong condensed in their Dantian. If the Dantian is damaged and unable to condense Qi Gong, it can be determined that they will never be able to break through. Even if you practice diligently, the Qi Gong refined will instantly dissipate within the Dantian, making it impossible to achieve a breakthrough.

  The Tianyuan Continent, where martial arts are prevalent, has never seen a case of a dantian being damaged in thousands of years.

  Cultivation depends on innate talent and opportunity. Even if an ordinary person cultivates their entire life, they can only reach the Martial Artist realm, but they won't be like Qin Tian, forever stuck at the first stage of Martial Artist.

  After suffering for five years, Qin Tian deeply understood the pain that the damage to his dantian had brought him. Now, heaven has taken pity on him and gifted him an upgraded system. From now on, he no longer needs to worry about whether his dantian is damaged or not. He only needs to upgrade, kill monsters, and his qigong value will increase permanently, without any loss due to damage to his dantian.

  His martial cultivation level has now been upgraded to Martial Artist Second Stage. As long as he accumulates enough experience, breaking through to the Martial Artist Third Stage is only a matter of time.

  Hard training is of no use to me now, it's just about killing more monsters, just like playing a game, killing monsters, gaining experience, leveling up, and becoming stronger.

  This set of procedures is nothing but familiar to him. Since his future life is like playing a game, then he must be the strongest player in the game.

  Qin Tian looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, so he smiled secretly at Meng Lei and nodded slightly, acknowledging that he had already reached the second stage of martial arts.

  With Qin Tian's confirmation, Meng Lei was overjoyed and grinned foolishly. His silly expression was even more exhilarating than his own breakthrough. The hard work of these years had finally paid off, and the endless days and nights of bitter practice had finally been rewarded.

  As he laughed and laughed, Mong Lei's tears came out.

  He was so excited that he burst into tears.

  Qin Tian patted Meng Lei and comforted him: "What are you crying about when it's a happy occasion?"

  He too felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, these hardships were really too much.

  "No, I'm just happy, just happy." Monley wiped away a tear and said with a silly grin.

  Although they were in a master-slave relationship, they were like close brothers. Over the years, they had been supporting each other. This kind of friendship was something that Qin Tian could not understand in his past life, but now he deeply felt it.

  If I just broke through to Martial Artist Second Stage, then that means one thing: with a single level up in the system, my own martial cultivation stage also rises by one level.

  "If it's really like that, then it's too cool! Others work hard to cultivate, but I just need to kill a few more demon beasts. Especially when I encounter a bottleneck and can't break through, my advantage becomes even more obvious. Haha... this is great!" Qin Tian thought about these things and couldn't help but get excited, the troubles he had in the morning were all gone.

  The sun was high in the sky, it was already noon, and more people came to eat at the Furong Wine House.

  There are no less than a hundred restaurants like Furong Building in Qinghe City, but the business is still booming. At meal times, there are almost no empty tables left.

  "Shopkeeper, why haven't our dishes been served yet......"

  "Waiter, bring us a jug of top-grade red wine."

  "Damn it, where's my beef?"

  ……

  Upstairs, downstairs, busy to the point of being inseparable, Qin Tian had a white towel draped over his shoulder, jumping up and down without stopping for a moment, his humble and low-key demeanor made many people very satisfied.

  In the eyes of the crowd, he was nothing but a lowly plebeian. No one would bother to cross him, lest they lose their dignity.

  Of course, some people just don't like him, such as Qin Kun of Tianzi Hao Bao Fang.

  "Let me introduce him to everyone, he is the number one waste of our Qin family for thousands of years. At 15 years old, he's still at Martial Artist First Stage. Wang brother, how old were you when you reached Martial Artist First Stage?"

  "I was already a first-degree warrior when I was five years old."

  "I was already a first-degree warrior at the age of seven, and now I'm a fifth-degree warrior, and I'm only thirteen years old."

  "Haven't you heard that there's no waste? You're losing face in front of the Qin family, and you still have the nerve to live on? I'd rather die early, haha..."

  "Haha......"

  The people in the private room burst into loud laughter, Qin Tian lowered his head, neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was not talking about him at all.

  The one who beat him last time was Qin Kun in front of him, the little overlord of the Qin family, the youngest son of the great elder Qin Xiangtian. In Qinghe City, he is a tyrant, but also a genius in this area, only 16 years old with the strength of a seventh-level warrior, and his internal energy is much thicker than that of an ordinary seventh-level person.

  He is a genius nurtured by the Qin family.

  Qin Kun saw Qin Tian's non-reaction and gave him a cold stare, "Hmph!"

  A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat onto Qin Tian's face, and he said disdainfully: "Get out."

  "Haha..."

  Qin Tian didn't go to wipe it off, he lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and slowly backed out of the room, closing the door behind him.

  Standing outside the door, Qin Tian's body was trembling with rage, the kind of slap in the face that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

  Wiping away the snot on his face, Qin Tian narrowed his eyes, like an old fox, and muttered to himself: "Just you wait."

  "Master, has Qin Kun bullied you again? I'm not done with him."

  Monroe rushed out of the private room, his anger uncontrollable, like a killing god with golden eyes.

  Seeing the remaining saliva stains on Qin Tian's face, he knew what had just happened. This was not the first time someone had spat in public on Qin Tian's face. Who could tolerate such humiliation?

  At this moment, Meng Lei was furious and wanted to rush into the room in one breath.

  Qin Tian hugged Meng Lei tightly and said: "Are you their opponent? He would be delighted if you looked for trouble with him, that way he would have a reason to take action."

  Man Lei has sturdy limbs and is a bit silly, but for Qin Tian, he can be reckless.

  "Master, let's go find the clan leader and reason with him."

  "Looking for the clan leader?" Qin Tian sighed several times, really didn't know if Meng Lei was truly foolish or pretending to be foolish. This kind of thing finding the clan leader would only bring trouble upon oneself.

  Will the clan leader offend the great elder for his own sake?

  Besides, Qin Kun is a key figure in the Qin family's cultivation, the son of heaven, and a rising star. How could he possibly be reprimanded for the sake of a useless person?

  It's just an impossible thing.

  This world is just like the previous one, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. If you want to get everything, there's only one way to go - become stronger.

  Qin Tian, who had been a human being for two lifetimes, was very clear about this point.

  "We must become stronger."
