Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Stirring Winds and Clouds, Sect Mission, Reclaiming the Position in the Hidden Dragon!

“Next, integrate ‘Heavenly Cloud Roaming Dragon Step’.”

Withdrawing his thoughts, Meng Changqing looked towards the panel.

This was obviously a body technique martial skill, but he didn’t know its level.

The name seemed righteous as well.

It shouldn’t be a demonic path body technique.

It’s most likely from the sect. It seemed like this Wei Qing had something. After obtaining the ‘Great Transcendent Mystical Golden Sword Technique’, he even got a Earth Martial Proficiency Token.

Meng Changqing didn’t know how to obtain the Earth Martial Proficiency Token for the time being, and he forgot to ask just now.

But such things can be inquired about from relevant elders and are not secretive.

Ding!

[Integration begins!]

Another large influx of information, all about the insights into ‘Heavenly Cloud Roaming Dragon Step’.

After a moment, they were all fully absorbed.

“Indeed, it’s an Earth-level body technique martial skill!”

Joy appeared in Meng Changqing’s eyes.

To cultivate the ‘Heavenly Cloud Roaming Dragon Step’, one must spend years in a place filled with clouds and mist, watching the magnificent scenes of the surging cloud sea, imagining the movements of roaming dragons, and finally absorbing the cloud energy into the body.

Once cultivated, the body technique could be as graceful as floating clouds, as agile as roaming dragons, and could also push through like the vast ocean of clouds, majestic like dragons swimming in the sea!

Compared to the ‘Great Transcendent Mystical Golden Sword Technique’, this body technique martial skill focused more on comprehension. Resources were relatively easy to obtain because the natural cloud energy was common.

However, this was still a body technique, not a technique for attack. The difficulty of cultivation was lower, which was normal.

“It does compensate for my deficiency in body techniques,” Meng Changqing thought.

With the advancement of his cultivation realm, the mere initial stage of the ‘Sword Steps’ was no longer enough.

The arrival of the ‘Heavenly Cloud Roaming Dragon Step’ came at just the right time.

However, the only regret was that Wei Qing had only cultivated this martial skill to the entry level, not even reaching the partial mastery stage.

Although there was still one Earth-level martial skill proficiency card left, Meng Changqing didn’t want to spend it on this.

The entry level was enough for now.

He wanted focus on improving the ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ first.

This secret technique’s enhancement in combat power was not to be underestimated. It could be said to be his trump card.

Since the foundation was solid enough, he should focus on improving it.

“System, enhance ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’.”

Ding!

[Consuming one Ground-level martial skill proficiency card!]

The familiar feeling appeared again.

‘Linglong Daluo Tian’ had been enhanced to the third level.

This meant that his combat power could be increased threefold.

“With my current strength, I am invincible within the Sea Cleaving Realm.”

Meng Changqing stood up slowly.

Confidence gleamed in his eyes.

With such a solid foundation, except for the top geniuses of each vein, almost no one could compare to him.

‘The Dark Sea Returning Origin Art’, ‘Linglong Daluo Tian’, ‘Great Transcendent Mystical Golden Sword Technique’, Stone Human Bloodline, Armor of the King and so on.

Any one of them, when taken out, was enough to shock people!

Taking a deep breath, Meng Changqing calmed his mind.

One shouldn’t be arrogant, but one shouldn’t underestimate oneself either.

Accurate self-awareness was crucial.

The world was vast, full of talents, and the heroes were as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Only with accurate self-awareness could one eternalize their journey on the path of martial arts competition!

Withdrawing his thoughts, Meng Changqing looked at the last two attributes.

They were not very useful.

He simply decomposed them.

His luck was a bit poor. He only got one item.

It was an Earth-level martial skill proficiency card *1.

This thing seemed to have no use now, but… let’s keep it. It might come in handy in the future.

After organizing what he obtained, Meng Changqing restrained his breath and left the attic.

He saw the boundless blue sky, the rustling bamboo forest behind him, and the stirring winds and clouds outside the spirit peak.

—

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and another half a month went by.

During this half month, many major events occurred.

One of them was that the mysterious Sect Master finally emerged from seclusion.

It seemed that he had been in seclusion all along.

He had only appeared once in the sect before, but Meng Changqing was focused on cultivation at the time and hadn’t noticed.

As for another major event, it was that the sect’s higher-ups decided to reclaim the position in the Hidden Dragon that had been taken by other forces, and even snatch more from those forces!

So, the stronger true disciples basically received missions from the sect, including Meng Changqing!

“A sect mission.”

Sitting cross-legged in the attic, Meng Changqing looked at the glowing jade slip floating in front of him and reached out to grasp it.

In an instant, an old voice sounded.

“True disciple Meng Changqing, please choose a date to set off and go to the Xu Family at Dongming Lake to reclaim the position in the Hidden Dragon Ranking.”

As the words fell, the jade slip shattered on the ground, leaving only a map.

“This is quite a big deal.” Meng Changqing stood up with his hands behind his back.

Clearly, there wasn’t much time left before the Seven Veins Martial Competition. Normally, disciples should be kept in peak condition.

However, the sect chose this moment to send disciples out to fight.

It made him smell a hint of abnormality.

“Well, no use thinking too much. It’s a good opportunity to relax and see the experts on the Hidden Dragon ranking.”

Meng Changqing’s eyes flashed with a fighting spirit.

Continuing to seclude oneself was meaningless. Martial arts required competition, and one had to continuously defeat opponents to gradually condense an invincible momentum!

To achieve the heart of becoming a supreme martial artist!

“The Xu Family’s Hidden Dragon.”

Meng Changqing picked up the map.

The front showed the route, and the back had many words and portraits.

Information was needed for anything.

In this regard, the sect was very thoughtful.

“Senior Brother Meng!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside.

It was the Shi Brothers.

Meng Changqing immediately put away the map and walked out.

He saw the two brothers standing obediently outside the railing. Their upbringing was excellent, and they wouldn’t come in without permission.

“Come on in, treat it like your own home.” Meng Changqing said with a smile.

“That’s right!” Shi Yao walked in immediately, “Big brother is just stubborn, he insists on me standing outside.”

Shi Guang shook his head helplessly.

That’s what their old man said. They had to listen.

“Senior Brother Meng, you’ve probably received the sect mission too, right?” Shi Yao said excitedly.

He still held a map in his hand.

“Yeah.” Meng Changqing nodded and also took it out from his pocket.

Comparing them, their mission points were quite close to each other, not far away, about a hundred miles apart.

Shi Guang’s was almost the same.

Was it a coincidence, or…

Normally, with so many mission points, it’s hard to encounter the same one.

But Meng Changqing didn’t think too much about it.

“When we’re outside, keep this thing safe. Don’t show it to anyone easily.” Meng Changqing reminded.

“Got it.” Shi Yao nodded.

When they went out, their old man said the same thing.

“Second Level of the Sea Cleaving Realm.” Meng Changqing sensed their aura, they seemed to have made a breakthrough.

It’s just that it wasn’t as fast as his.

After half a month of cultivation, he had reached the peak of the Third Level of the Sea Cleaving Realm, and was about to enter the Fourth Level.

However, for him, the benefits of breakthroughs in small realms were not significant.

Because in terms of true qi quantity… he already had a lot.

Even more would just be icing on the cake.

But he still had to strive for advancement in realms. The transformation after the Sea Cleaving Realm was a qualitative change.

“Senior Brother Meng, let’s go together,” Shi Yao said.

“Sure.” Meng Changqing nodded.

If the general direction was similar, they could travel together, but they would eventually have to part ways.

“Junior Brother Meng.”

Just as Meng Changqing was about to leave with the two brothers, a sword light flew over from the distance and landed steadily on the spirit peak.

It was Wei Qing.
