Qin Ming’s Martial Arts Aspirations

"Mom called me for breakfast, I'm heading over first." Qin Qing tossed a candy bean into her mouth, smiled mysteriously, and darted away in a flash.

She knew Ouyang Xiaoxiao had something to discuss with her brother, so she intentionally left the space for the two of them.

She had long been aware of Ouyang Xiaoxiao's feelings.

After Qin Qing left, only Qin Ming and Ouyang Xiaoxiao remained on the scene. For a moment, Ouyang Xiaoxiao felt the atmosphere was somewhat ambiguous.

Awkwardly rubbing his nose, Qin Ming took the initiative to extend an invitation: "How about we take a walk by the pond?"

He really didn't want to talk about relationships right now. What he wanted most was to make the Qin Family the continent's hegemon and himself a Martial God.

As for women, after becoming a Martial God, he would have plenty of time to seek true love.

Moreover, ever since his previous life, when he was killed by that beautiful but venomous woman, he had developed some resistance to emotional entanglements.

"Okay." Hearing Qin Ming suggest a walk by the pond, Ouyang Xiaoxiao nodded and shyly agreed in a voice only she could hear.

And so, the two of them strolled slowly along the edge of the pond.

Gazing at the beautiful scenery by the lake, with a gentle breeze blowing, Qin Ming suddenly thought of being forced to leave, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

"Scorpion Faction, one day, I will make you vanish from this world. I, Qin Ming, have never been in such a sorry state before." Qin Ming looked towards the horizon and swore silently.

"What are you thinking about?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao beside him, noticing Qin Ming suddenly clenching his fist, asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Qin Ming shook his head and said, "It's just that having to leave this place so suddenly makes me a bit reluctant."

"Can't you not leave? I heard from my father that the Qin Family's move to seclusion wasn't because of the Shen Family from Stone City." Ouyang Xiaoxiao tugged at the corner of her clothes and said shyly.

A gentle breeze blew past, brushing against Qin Ming's heart. His agitated emotions seemed to be smoothed by this soft wind.

"It's indeed not because of the Shen Family. A tiny Shen Family like that is nothing in my eyes. It's just that some insignificant pests are making trouble. After we crush them, the Qin Family will return." Relaxing his clenched fist, Qin Ming said calmly.

Nodding lightly, Ouyang Xiaoxiao's face flushed red: "Qin Ming, do you have someone you like?"

Qin Ming's expression turned serious. He knew the inevitable was coming. He had no romantic feelings whatsoever for Ouyang Xiaoxiao, but he didn't want to hurt this girl's heart.

Or rather, to hurt it as little as possible.

"I've never really thought about love. What I should be doing now is climbing to the Peak of the martial Dao, standing at the highest point to see the world's scenery." Qin Ming looked up at the sky, his gaze blazing.

"Then… then, what Realm do you consider the Peak of the martial Dao to be?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao asked quietly.

Qin Ming's face was filled with yearning for the martial Dao: "Martial God. All along, Martial God has been my pursuit. I believe I can become the first person on this continent to reach the Martial God Realm. I want to see what that Realm is like."

"Martial God?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao had never heard of this Realm.

"Yes, the God of the martial Dao." Qin Ming explained, "Above Martial King is Martial Emperor. Above Martial Emperor is Martial Saint. Above Martial Saint, there's a supreme Realm, Martial God. And above Martial God, some speculate there might actually be another Realm, the God Realm."

"Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, Martial God, God Realm." In that instant, Ouyang Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with shock. So, Qin Ming's ambitions were this vast. No wonder he had achieved such great things at such a young age.
