Chapter 4

In the evening, Qin Peng returned home and was greeted by a strong, fragrant aroma.

"Qin Peng, you're back!" Mother Rosa walked out from the kitchen.

"Uh-huh!" Qin Peng nodded slightly and sat down at the dining table. Then, Mother Rosa brought him a steaming bowl of meat soup and said with a smile, "Eat up quickly!"

"Where's Dad?" Qin Peng turned his head to look around.

"Your dad hasn't finished work yet. Qin Peng, eat more. I have to go out tonight!" Rosa looked at Qin Peng with affection. This child was very sensible, which saved them a lot of worry.

Qin Peng didn't say anything more. He picked up the bowl of meat soup and gulped it down. This was the meat of a creature called the Shazhou Wolf, a native species of Terra. Its meat was highly nutritious and could increase strength. The Qin family only ate it a few times a year.

"Alright, Qin Peng, focus on your training. I'm going out now!" Rosa smiled at Qin Peng and gave him some more instructions before leaving to go to work.

Because Qin Peng was attending Yingcai Academy, the family's financial situation was very difficult. Both parents had to work two jobs to barely cover the household expenses. Qin Peng took a deep breath and silently returned to his room, adjusting his breathing.

Breathing, meditating!

Qin Peng's mind sank into a state of tranquility. In this state, he could easily feel the changes in his body. He could sense that the meat he had eaten was transforming into nutrients needed by the body, gradually spreading through his muscles.

Strength, strength!

Qin Peng silently chanted in his mind. The first step in cultivation was to feel the strength, to sense it, and to use it. Then, one's martial power could break through 0.5.

Qin Peng could now clearly feel the strength in his body, but he couldn't use it.

Why can't I use it? Why?

Qin Peng's mind erupted with anger. Feeling frustrated, he couldn't maintain his meditative state. His chest felt heavy, and he knew he couldn't continue training. If he continued in this state, it would be futile and might even harm his body.

He took a deep breath, got up, and went out for a walk.

Although Terra was now a human habitation planet, with the rapid development of human technology, there was no housing crisis like in the 21st century. The vast universe was filled with endless business opportunities. Almost everyone here lived in a house of considerable size.

With the advent of the interstellar age, beggars were virtually non-existent. Hunger was no longer a concern, and objectively speaking, human welfare had significantly improved.

Qin Peng's home was near the sea, and he often chose to take a walk by the seaside.

When he arrived at the beach, it was already dark. This was a relatively remote area, and there was no one around. Qin Peng took a deep breath, but the frustration in his heart wouldn't dissipate.

If he couldn't break through the 0.5 martial power threshold by the end-of-term exam in a month, he would be forced to drop out!

Every time he thought about this, Qin Peng felt a deep, unresolved anxiety. He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Is this to be my life?"

At that moment, Qin Peng suddenly noticed a purple light streaking across the sky, like a falling meteor, heading straight for him.

Boom!

The meteor fell into the sea, instantly causing waves to surge. The waves hit Qin Peng, making him feel as if a mountain had crashed into him. His bones trembled violently.

Snap! Snap!

Qin Peng clearly heard the sound of his bones breaking. His vision was filled with stars, and his internal organs felt as if they were about to burst. Blood spurted from his mouth.

Thud!

Qin Peng hit the shore, and his vision went black. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his body.

"What a powerful impact! It injured me to this extent just from the wave's force, which must have been around 3!"

Although Qin Peng couldn't get up, he was still conscious. However, he felt his strength being drained, and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred. His last thought was, "Am I really going to die?"

The receding tide carried Qin Peng into the sea. At that moment, a man in dark gold clothing suddenly emerged from the surface of the sea.

"Have I arrived on Terra?" The man looked around, and suddenly, his chest trembled. A drop of golden liquid fell from his chest. Just as he was about to catch it, the golden liquid accelerated and quickly landed on Qin Peng's body.

It directly entered Qin Peng's chest!

The man's pupils contracted, and a purple light flashed in his eyes. He saw the golden liquid merge with Qin Peng's body and integrate with his heart. His heart began to beat strongly, and with each beat, his body underwent subtle changes.

"How is this possible? Why did the immortal cell merge with his body? He is human, that's for sure!" The man's face showed deep disbelief, but then a faint smile appeared. "Could this be the will of heaven?"

He waved his hand, and a ball of energy enveloped Qin Peng. He then took out a bottle of medicine and sprinkled it on Qin Peng. With this medicine, Qin Peng's injuries began to heal, and his broken limbs reconnected, becoming even stronger than before.

Qin Peng suddenly regained consciousness and opened his eyes to see a man.

"Who are you?" Qin Peng looked at the man, somewhat confused.

The man looked at Qin Peng and slowly said three words: "Yun Duan Kong!"

Yun Duan Kong?

Qin Peng was shocked. He knew this name; one of the greatest human warriors, recorded in human history during the interstellar age.

Heavenly Extreme Martial God!

That was his title.

Qin Peng was stunned. Could this man in front of him really be the legendary Heavenly Extreme Martial God? It was too unbelievable.

"What, you don't believe it?" Yun Duan Kong asked, looking at Qin Peng.

"No, I just don't know what to say!" Qin Peng was still dazed, his hands moving unconsciously. "How did you appear in front of me?"

Yun Duan Kong couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly found the young man in front of him very endearing. However, at that moment, Yun Duan Kong couldn't help but cough violently, spitting out blood.

"You're injured?" Qin Peng stared at Yun Duan Kong in shock.

"Not long to live!" Yun Duan Kong's answer was simple.

Qin Peng was taken aback.

Yun Duan Kong looked at Qin Peng and smiled, "Surprised?"

Qin Peng shook his head. Yun Duan Kong smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qin Peng!" Qin Peng quickly replied.

Yun Duan Kong smiled and said, "Qin Peng, would you like to be my disciple?"

"Your disciple?" Qin Peng was taken aback but immediately came to his senses. Without hesitation, he knelt before Yun Duan Kong. This was a golden opportunity, and it would be foolish not to seize it. "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

As he spoke, Qin Peng bowed three times to Yun Duan Kong.

Yun Duan Kong nodded at Qin Peng and said, "Good, stand up!"

Qin Peng stood up, and Yun Duan Kong continued, "Qin Peng, I have lived for 108 years and have witnessed humanity's journey into the interstellar age. In my life, I have had eight disciples, and you are my ninth. Unfortunately, I used a forbidden technique, and my body is deteriorating. I cannot live much longer, and although you are my disciple, I cannot teach you as I should."

Qin Peng didn't speak, just waited quietly for Yun Duan Kong to finish. Yun Duan Kong took a deep breath, waved his hand, and a small, grain-like object appeared in his palm. Before Qin Peng could react, Yun Duan Kong flicked his finger, and the object entered Qin Peng's forehead.

Qin Peng immediately felt a cool sensation on his forehead, followed by a sense that something had been added to his mind.

"This is my bio-computer!" Yun Duan Kong said calmly. "It contains all my information, various martial techniques, and you can practice them freely."

Bio-computer?

Qin Peng's mind stirred, and he immediately felt a flood of information from the bio-computer. However, after a brief moment, he felt a sense of fatigue in his brain.

"This bio-computer is the most advanced one currently produced by humans. It can perfectly protect personal privacy and instantly connect to any government network. However, if your mental strength is not at a certain level, some information cannot be accessed," Yun Duan Kong explained slowly.

Qin Peng nodded, and Yun Duan Kong continued, "Qin Peng, next, I will give you the most important thing."
