"Qin Fang …"
Although Cai Qing didn't know what the Secret Technique of the Heaven Lake was, she had been practicing martial arts for many years. When she saw Lei Peng's proud expression and the changes in Qin Fang's arm, her expression changed. She cried out in alarm and rushed to Qin Fang's side, grabbing onto his arm.
"It's so cold!"
However, it would have been better if she didn't grab onto Qin Fang's arm. At least, she only felt that there was something wrong with his arm. However, when she touched it, it was as if she wasn't grabbing onto a person's arm, but an icicle that had been in the freezer for many days. It was absolutely bone-chilling …
"I'm fine …"
Qin Fang grinned. Compared to Cai Qing, Qin Fang's resistance to this kind of cold was much stronger. Even he didn't feel it as deeply as Cai Qing did.
It should be known that every time Qin Fang leveled up, all of his attributes would increase by 5. This increase wasn't limited to Strength, Agility, and Vitality. It also included all kinds of resistance.
Now that Qin Fang had reached Level 4, all of his attributes were + 20 and above. Among them, there was also a 20% Ice Resistance, which could automatically reduce the damage done to his body by low temperatures.
However, only Qin Fang himself knew about this. Others didn't know about this. Qin Fang comforted Cai Qing, but it only made her more worried. Her beautiful eyebrows were almost completely furrowed.
Qin Fang also noticed the changes in Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling's expressions. He didn't even bother to hide the pride in his eyes.
The people from the Lei Family also frowned. They obviously didn't expect things to turn out this way. Or rather, they didn't think that Shangguan Tianling would spend so much to nurture Lei Peng. He even passed down the Secret Technique of the Heaven Lake to Lei Peng …
This was a secret skill that had been passed down in the Sky Lake Faction for thousands of years. Even the disciples of the Sky Lake Faction might not be able to learn it. However, not only had Lei Peng learned it, but it also seemed like his level of cultivation was not low.
Lei Peng had cultivated the Celestial Lake Faction's Changbai Ice Palm. This was something that everyone in the Lei Clan knew. Many of them had even experienced the might of the Changbai Ice Palm. It was indeed stronger than normal techniques, but it wasn't too outrageous. Lei Peng's Bear Fist was known for its ferocity, while the Changbai Ice Palm was a more feminine technique. The combination of these two allowed Lei Peng to walk at the forefront of the Lei Clan …
But now, Lei Peng had the Heaven Lake Secret Skill of the Heaven Lake Faction, which was like adding wings to a tiger. Just as Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling were proud of, even a Grandmaster would be wary of the Heaven Lake Secret Skill. As for those below the Grandmaster level … they would be killed instantly.
It was basically impossible for a Level 5 expert to expel the cold Qi from their body. In the end, they could only watch as they were killed.
The more they understood this, the more the Lei Clan felt pity for Qin Fang. Qin Fang was younger than Lei Peng by a few years, but in terms of one-on-one combat, the two of them were almost on par. Such talent was definitely a rare talent in the martial arts world. It was no wonder that Cai Pingyuan would accept such a disciple at such an old age.
Such a disciple was the dream of many Grandmasters and above. Even the old men of the Lei Clan would be tempted by Qin Fang.
Unfortunately, Qin Fang was facing Lei Peng this time, and he was weaker than Lei Peng. He was not weak in a one-on-one fight, but he did not expect Lei Peng to know the Secret Skill of Heaven Basin. That was why he was defeated.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Old Master Lei, who seemed to be dozing off, suddenly coughed a few times. However, he didn't open his eyes, as if he wanted to turn over and continue his nap.
However, this change made the eyes of the Lei Clan brighten. They were all very familiar with Old Master Lei, and this change definitely didn't happen out of nowhere.
Old Master Lei's cultivation had already reached a terrifying Level 8. Basically, in the martial arts world today, other than those old monsters who lived in seclusion, the number of Grandmasters who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Old Master Lei could be counted with one's fingers.
If he was unhappy about something, no one could stop him. Even Shangguan Tianling, who had the Heaven Lake Faction as his backing, couldn't stop him.
Naturally, Lei Peng was his grandson, and also a member of the Lei Clan. Naturally, he wouldn't dare to go against Old Master Lei's wishes. Even in this marriage, Lei Peng had the intention of holding Old Master Lei hostage.
Although Old Master Lei didn't say anything, he had basically made his intentions clear. They could make things difficult for Qin Fang, but to cripple Qin Fang's cultivation was a little too much.
People in the martial arts world had to train hard for so many years to reach their current level of cultivation. Many experts had to spend a lot of time and effort to find a suitable disciple. If they were to be crippled so easily, it would be too cruel. Not to mention, Old Master Lei and Elder Cai had been friends for so many years …
Although the difference in strength between the two of them was a little too big, this didn't mean that they could ignore the fact that their old friend's disciple's cultivation was crippled.
Shangguan Tianling was the first to react, and immediately threw a glance at Lei Peng.
"The one with the surname Qin, since you've come all the way to my Lei Clan, you can be considered a guest. However, this is a marriage between Junior Sister Cai and I. It's best that you don't interfere so easily. Perhaps, I might even remove the Sky Basin Secret Technique from your body … Otherwise, hmph hmph … I'm afraid that in a short period of time, all your cultivation will be wasted …"
This change was actually within Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling's expectations. The Lei Clan could make things difficult for Qin Fang, but they couldn't go too far. Otherwise, the Lei Clan's reputation would be damaged.
"Are you threatening me?"
However, Qin Fang wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed. Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling's idea was pretty good. Others were trying to use peaceful means before resorting to force, but they were doing the opposite. First, they were tricking Qin Fang, then using it to negotiate terms. This was equivalent to forcing Qin Fang to submit without having to do anything.
But was there really such a good thing in the world?
Perhaps there was!
But it definitely wouldn't fall on Qin Fang!
"If you really want to understand it this way, I won't deny it …"
Lei Peng didn't care. Since everyone present knew his motive, there was no need for him to smear gold on his face to cover up his ugliness. He didn't care about it at all.
"Hahaha … I'm afraid you'll be disappointed …"
Unexpectedly, just as he said this, Qin Fang burst out laughing. It was as if he didn't care about the Heaven Lake Secret Technique at all.
"The Heaven Lake Secret Technique may be quite powerful, but you, Lei Peng … How dare you show your face when you haven't even mastered it? You've really embarrassed the Heaven Lake Faction!
Today, I'll show you what it means by there's always someone better than you … Break!!! "
Qin Fang spat out arrogantly. Then, his body suddenly emitted a strange red light. At the same time, his body temperature rose rapidly, as if he had turned into a human furnace …
When such a temperature rose, the icy cold aura of the Heaven Pool Secret Technique hidden in Qin Fang's body was like a mouse encountering a cat. It was quickly suppressed and forced back into his body …
In a short ten seconds, the redness on Qin Fang's body gradually faded. The cold air that had seeped out of his arm was also gradually forced out of his body, forming a faint mist. It condensed together and didn't disperse for a long time!
"This … This … This is impossible!"
Looking at the mist, Lei Peng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His eyes were filled with disbelief. Even his voice was trembling. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
It wasn't just Lei Peng. Even Shangguan Tianling was stunned. Perhaps Qin Fang was right. Lei Peng's skills in the Heaven Lake Secret Technique were not perfect. But even so, Qin Fang definitely couldn't break it.
But the truth was right in front of his eyes. He had no choice but to admit it …
The group of old men from the Lei Family were also stunned. The Heaven Lake Secret Technique had been famous for a long time. It was one of the most powerful techniques in the martial arts world. Even if they encountered it, they would be wary of it. They would try their best to avoid it instead of healing themselves after being hit …
The Heaven Lake Faction naturally had a way to deal with it. But it was impossible for outsiders to do so, unless their strength was far beyond the caster's. For example, if Lei Peng or Shangguan Tianling wanted to use the Heaven Lake Secret Technique on Old Master Lei, they would be courting death …
But was Qin Fang stronger than Lei Peng by more than two levels?
Obviously not!
In terms of strength, Qin Fang was even weaker than Lei Peng by one level … Based on this result, Qin Fang should have been unable to save himself. But he was able to break Lei Peng's Heaven Lake Secret Technique.
"Nothing is impossible …"
Lei Peng was completely dumbfounded. Qin Fang, on the other hand, was relatively calm. After forcing out the Heaven Lake Secret Technique's icy cold Qi, Qin Fang's face was slightly pale. But after ten seconds, Qin Fang's face regained its previous rosy color. In fact, it was even redder than before.
Cai Qing, who had been very worried, was also happy at this time. Even when she saw Lei Peng's dumbfounded expression, she couldn't help but wave her pink fist, venting some of the depression in her heart.
Of course, she wasn't that kind of silly girl. After calming down for a while, she was a little doubtful. She carefully looked at Qin Fang, wanting to see if he was trying to keep up appearances, or if he had sustained any internal injuries.
But at least on the surface, she couldn't see any problems. Qin Fang was still as healthy as ever, and didn't look like he was injured …
It even gave Cai Qing the feeling that Qin Fang didn't fall into Lei Peng's trap. Instead, he seemed to have taken a tonic. His entire person was much stronger than before!
