Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 360 - 95: National Exam Champion, Innate Spiritual Root

Chapter 360: Chapter 95: National Exam Champion, Innate Spiritual Root

Ling Feng didn’t think much and said,

"Yes."

King of North of the River nodded without hesitation and said,

"You think so too?"

Ling Feng was very surprised, no matter what, even if the King of North of the River wasn’t a Realm Traveler, he was still the strongest in Jiangbei Province, far more powerful than Liu Chuan. Even he held Qin Qianyu in such high regard.

"Young Master Qin is gifted and extraordinary. From the moment he was born, it was believed that he could achieve first place in the national exam, and this was never doubted."

The King of North of the River sighed.

"Really? That’s... too unbelievable!"

Ling Feng felt it was getting more and more bizarre, that someone could be predetermined as first in the national exam from infancy.

"The Qin Family has a Spirit Root Power inheritance. Young Master Qin was born with a spiritual root. His starting point is an endpoint that countless people cannot reach in their lifetime."

The King of North of the River looked envious.

"Born with a spiritual root? How is that possible? You just told me that Spirit Root Power needs to be nurtured from the Dantian Sea of Qi. I’ve also investigated, only with Dharma Aspect Perfection and strong basic power can one open the Dantian Sea of Qi. Could it be that Qin Qianyu was born a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

Ling Feng was anxious.

He felt the King of North of the River was even more exaggerated than Liu Chuan, almost treating Qin Qianyu like a deity.

"You’re right, but some people are exceptions. Even without any cultivation traces, their bodies can automatically awaken Spirit Root Power, without relying on the Dantian Sea of Qi or Dharma Aspect. But such people are exceedingly rare, in the entire Great Xia Kingdom, only the Qin Family can achieve this."

The King of North of the River smiled.

He knew Ling Feng was unconvinced.

No matter what, Ling Feng was also considered a prodigy in many people’s eyes. When geniuses meet, it’s not sympathy but full of rivalry. It was believed that Ling Feng also wanted to surpass Qin Qianyu. If Qin Qianyu was described too exaggeratedly, Ling Feng would surely be unhappy.

So the King of North of the River understood Ling Feng’s emotional reaction.

He patiently explained, "In this world, there are people whose bodies naturally resonate with the Five Elements Power and can naturally nurture Spirit Root Power under the baptism of heaven and earth.

Of course, the reason Qin Qianyu could be born with Spirit Root Power is not due to an extraordinary constitution, but because his parents are powerful cultivators.

While his mother was pregnant, she used Spiritual Power to baptize him every day, and during his birth, there was a Spiritual Array to guide him. Being born with Spirit Root Power might be unimaginable for many, but for the Qin Family, it’s not too surprising."

"But Liu Chuan told me Qin Qianyu hasn’t awakened Spirit Root Power yet and said if Qin Qianyu could nurture a spiritual root from the Dantian Sea of Qi, its Spirit Root Level would at least be Upper Grade?"

Ling Feng was puzzled.

"For one’s offspring to be born with an Upper Grade or Middle Grade spirit root, even the Qin Family doesn’t have that capability. And an ordinary spirit root wouldn’t catch the Qin Family’s eye. As a direct lineage of the Qin Family, they have been trying to enhance Qin Qianyu’s Spirit Root Level over the years so he can nurture a stronger spirit root through the Power of Dantian Qi Sea.

Moreover, possessing and awakening are two different concepts.

The intricacies of these concepts, I cannot fully explain to you. In any case, the Qin Family is very formidable. If you have the chance to meet Qin Qianyu in the future, make sure not to offend him.

Also, a spiritual root doesn’t necessarily need to be awakened earlier to be better.

Some people, even if born with Spirit Root Power, without a corresponding cultivation method, can only walk the same path as others, allowing their bodies to undergo repeated transformations to sustain that power.

Qin Qianyu is an example.

Of course, this is also related to the Qin Family’s ambition. In short, the Qin Family’s actions are beyond our comprehension. They won’t harm us, and all we need to do is protect Jiangbei Province."

King of North of the River continued to say.

It was clear he was filled with envy and admiration towards the Qin Family, yet felt powerless, only watching as they improved while shifting his focus through governing Jiangbei Province.

"What you said makes sense. I just find it strange that someone in this world can possess Spirit Root Power from birth. If we become stronger in the future, like becoming Realm Travelers, will our children also be as strong as Qin Yu, possessing Spirit Root Power from birth?"

Ling Feng dreamt aloud.

Possessing and awakening are different concepts, but anyway, Qin Qianyu already has a spiritual root, which is the advantage of Spirit Root Power inheritance.

"There’s a possibility."

King of North of the River looked a bit embarrassed.

Upon entering, Ling Feng kept mentioning the Qin Family. He felt a sense of foreboding, wondering if Ling Feng intended to join the Qin Family.

Honestly, as a young person, he had once considered it too.

Even considered that as long as he could enter the Qin Family, he’d be willing to sweep their grounds, for the Qin Family had so much to offer.

So he couldn’t help but say, "The Qin Family is one of the important powers in the Great Xia Kingdom. Establishing a connection with them is very difficult. However, if you could make significant contributions to the Great Xia Kingdom, or the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, or even humanity, receiving the Qin Family’s reward and obtaining their Cultivation Secret Technique is not impossible.

Of course, all of this premise is that you find a master who can help you achieve all of this."

After saying that, King of North of the River looked at Ling Feng with bright eyes.

He was eager to take Ling Feng as his disciple, not because he feared Ling Feng being led away, but primarily because he worried Ling Feng’s future contributions wouldn’t be tied to Jiangbei Province. For Jiangbei Province to rise, it needed not only him, the King of North of the River, and Ao Dagang but also needed emerging talents like Ling Feng.

Moreover, Ling Feng was so outstanding.

He very well could surpass himself.

"What do you mean?"

Ling Feng was startled and couldn’t control his excitement.

It turned out the King of North of the River didn’t come at night to inform him of tomorrow’s match rules or remind him what to do, but wanted to take him as a disciple.

Isn’t this what he dreamt of, coming so soon? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Ling Feng, would you like to take me as your master and become a Realm Traveler with me?"

The King of North of the River stood with arms crossed behind him.
