Chapter 1078: Facing Skull Head-On!
"Wow, Tian ge, after completing the first stage of cultivation, I feel so comfortable all over."
Liu Fei'er walked out wearing ultra-short shorts, and before Qin Tian could ask how she was feeling, she spoke.
At this moment, Qin Tian didn't speak; his gaze was completely drawn to Liu Fei'er's pair of slender long legs. Her skin was smooth and yellow, and her thighs and calves were so well-proportioned. She was truly beautiful...
"Tian ge, I feel like my whole body is so light, and I feel a bit like I'm floating. What's going on?"
Liu Fei'er walked up to Qin Tian, noticing him staring at her beautiful legs. She deliberately posed, stretching out a long leg, swaying it in front of Qin Tian's eyes.
"You really know how to play..."
Qin Tian smirked, snapping back to reality, saying, "This feeling is normal. Usually, after completing the first stage of cultivation, it's like this. Fei'er, can you feel any anomaly in your Dantian Qi Sea?"
"Hmm, let me check..."
Liu Fei'er said, and surprisingly, with some resemblance to form, started to sense her body's condition.
This left Qin Tian, her mentor, feeling a bit embarrassed while watching from the side. Damn, Liu Fei'er's cultivation starting point is astonishingly high. Probably, no one on Earth has ever started straight into cultivation like this...
Back when Qin Tian started practicing martial arts, he had to start with the horse stance... Compared to this, it's like one's in the sky and the other underground...
"Hmm, I can feel it! Inside my body, there's a huge space, like an ocean, but it's very dark. I can't clearly see what's inside, but I can sense that it's very empty..."
Liu Fei'er opened her eyes at this moment, describing the situation within her Dantian Qi Sea to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was taken aback, his heart trembling. Liu Fei'er had only been cultivating for a day, and she could already see so clearly into her Dantian Qi Sea?
Oh darn!
What the heck!
Qin Tian smiled, giving Liu Fei'er a thumbs up, "Fei'er, your speed is faster than a rocket. I'm impressed. Right now, there's nothing in your Dantian Qi Sea, no True Qi, so it's normal."
"When you begin the second stage of the 'Cultivation Immortality Basic Manual,' there will be some guidance on refining True Qi. Just follow those instructions. I believe with your cultivation speed, by the next time I see you, you'll amaze me."
Hearing this, Liu Fei'er first nodded, then realized and stared at Qin Tian, "Tian ge, what do you mean? Are you leaving?"
She picked up on the tone of Qin Tian's words.
Qin Tian nodded, "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I have a meeting tomorrow, so I have to fly to Southeast Asia tonight. Fei'er, work hard. I am your strong support."
After saying this, Qin Tian began booking his flight and packing his clothes, preparing to leave.
Liu Fei'er, reluctant to part, hugged Qin Tian tightly for two minutes at the villa's door before letting him get in the car.
"Tian ge."
When Qin Tian got into the taxi, Liu Fei'er called after him. Qin Tian rolled down the window, looking at the beautiful girl with long legs illuminated under the streetlights, "What's up?"
"Tian ge..."
She gave Qin Tian a sweet smile.
"I love you, love you for a lifetime."
...
Qin Tian still reminisced about Liu Fei'er's final words and smile while in the taxi.
With such a girl quietly by his side, what more could he ask for in life?
He thought about Zhang Yunzi potentially targeting Liu Fei'er, so Qin Tian called Liu Fei'er, telling her to be cautious in everything she does.
After making these arrangements, Qin Tian still felt uneasy. He called Jiang Hu in Zhonghai City, asking Jiang Hu to personally go to Beijing to protect Liu Fei'er.
With Jiang Hu's protection, combined with Liu Fei'er starting to cultivate the 'Cultivation Immortality Basic Manual,' Qin Tian believed that with just another half month, ordinary people wouldn't be able to harm her.
When Qin Tian arrived by plane in Bangkok, it was already 11:30 at night. Zhou Yang came to pick him up, and they had a late-night snack together, discussing the current situation of the Asian Mercenary Association.
Previous dominance by Skull in the Asian Mercenary Association seems now to have shifted into a power struggle between two forces.
On one hand, despite Skull suffering a 90% loss in active forces this time, it still has long-accumulated influence in the Asian Mercenary Association, and only its Asian branch was affected, while its headquarters remains strong.
On the other hand, there's the Dahe Mercenary Team. The current Dahe Mercenary Team is not comparable to the low-profile team of six months ago.
About 40% of the Asian Mercenary Association members, somehow persuaded by Dahe Mercenary Team, steadfastly support it. In contrast, Skull's Asian branch supporters barely exceed 30%.
Of course, Qin Tian's War Dragon also has a solid base of supporters in the Asian Mercenary Association, around 20%.
The three factions hold respective supporter shares of two, three, and four out of ten, leaving about 10% undecided on who to support, with some even wanting to remain neutral. These are potential recruits, though winning them over would be challenging.
"So that's the situation now."
After finishing the introduction, Zhou Yang and Qin Tian clinked glasses of beer, and Zhou Yang continued, "Boss, Skull has already started taking action."
Zhou Yang lowered his voice, speaking cautiously to Qin Tian, "According to the latest info, Skull's Asian branch being destroyed and two elite teams mysteriously disappearing have enraged the headquarters in the United States, prompting an immediate investigation. Furthermore, I hear that a top executive from Skull's headquarters had a phone conference with Okazaki Yokawa last night, which seemed to end on bad terms..."
"So it seems, the Dahe Mercenary Team wants to go head-to-head with Skull. Holy crap, has Dahe taken some kind of crazy pill to become so fierce? Old Zhou, have you investigated it?"
Qin Tian was at a loss.
It looks like the Dahe Mercenary Team not only wants to eliminate Skull's Asian branch but also faces off directly with Skull headquarters.
Based on Qin Tian's understanding of Dahe and Skull headquarters' strength, what Dahe Mercenary Team is doing is akin to moths to a flame, courting death.
He believes Dahe's Okazaki Yokawa is surely aware of the huge disparity in power and the result of failing to challenge Skull's authority.
Yet, even knowing this, he dares to go head-on with Skull. What is backing this courage!?
