Martial Ruler

Qing Lei constantly reminded himself that he had to flatten his Floating Cloud Pavilion three years later and the only way to achieve this was to increase his own strength as soon as possible.    

    

In the following days, Qing Lei began his life. Aside from the hours it took to enter Medicine Pond to cultivate, every day, whenever there was a chance, he would enter the back mountain to continue cultivating his Burning Heaven Arts. Only when he was extremely tired would he return to the small hut to stretch his body.    

    

After half a month of hard work, Qing Lei's Burning Heaven Arts was already on the verge of breaking through to the later stages of the Refinement Realm. His body was also brimming with battle qi.    

    

Today, Qing Lei was still the same as usual. As soon as he left the secret passageway, he went straight to the back of the mountain, hoping to find a quiet place to complete his breakthrough in one fell swoop.    

    

After circling the small mountain a few times, he found nothing but a small cave covered in weeds.    

    

The entrance to the cave was very narrow, so even if he squatted down, it would be impossible to enter. Qing Lei cautiously crawled into the cave after pulling off the few weeds that blocked the entrance.    

    

Entering the cave, Qing Lei was overjoyed. Compared to the narrow entrance, the space inside was still very full. It was more than enough to accommodate ten people.    

    

This cave was simply tailored specifically for Qing Lei! He took a quick look at the walls around the cave. Other than some moss, they were smooth and clean. Adding to that the moderate air flow, the cave looked quite comfortable.    

    

After sweeping away the dust on the ground, Qing Lei sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and slowly meditated. With the Burning Heaven Arts, he slowly gathered the power of the Refinement Realm inside his body, preparing to break through to the Nether Sky Realm.    

    

Qing Lei patiently searched for the way to break through. The Heavenly Refining Power slowly seeped out of his body and surrounded his body. Accompanied by the violent energy fluctuations, the air in the cave started to become illusionary.    

    

At a certain moment, Qing Lei suddenly opened his eyes and a hint of a smile appeared on his indifferent face.    

    

That was the feeling! After entering a state of meditation, Qing Lei suddenly clasped his hands together and Heavenly Refining Power surged through his meridians. The feeling of returning to the sea after a hundred rivers was very enjoyable to Qing Lei.    

    

Just as he was focusing all his attention and preparing to attack the gate in the blink of an eye, a well-trained shadow quickly broke into the perception of his Soul Power, causing Qing Lei to subconsciously stop his charge.    

    

Qing Lei opened his eyes at the same time, and quickly retreated while carefully observing everything in the cave with his Heavenly Energy. Strangely, Qing Lei did not discover any foreign object invading the cave, and that figure was very small and light.    

    

He slowly turned his head and looked at his right shoulder. There stood a furry thing with a full body, and at this moment, it was rolling its big cute eyes and staring curiously at Qing Lei's eyes.    

    

Qing Lei shook his shoulders instinctively, but the little guy stood very steadily, not moving at all.    

    

When he looked carefully, he noticed that the little fellow was actually a golden mink mouse that was only the size of a fist. What made him curious was that there was a lightning-like mark on the head of the small marten. The mark was blue and it was very clear as if it was real.    

    

The little guy looked at Qing Lei in confusion, but there was no trace of hostility. Just like that, a man and a squirrel stared at each other. Qing Lei finally couldn't hold back his desire to touch that lightning-like mark, wanting to see if it was real or fake.    

    

Without waiting for him to extend his hand, the cold voice warned him, "Brat, you must be tired of living! This Lightning Mink's lightning symbols can also be casually touched! "    

    

"Lightning Mink?" Just hearing the name made Qing Lei feel cool. Qing Lei found it hard to suppress the surprise in his heart, and a rare faint smile appeared on his indifferent face.    

    

"Kid, do you know that this Lightning Mink was born a powerhouse of the Fighting Vigour? The lightning attribute Dou Qi can cause one to instantly become paralyzed and the lightning form symbol is also their clan's symbol. It is very sacred, so if you don't believe me, feel it and try it!"
