Chapter 379: (4): Omen
Right now, Chen Ping'an was walking around the table on his hands.
Pei Qian finished copying the texts, and she found Chen Ping'an's act of performing the Heaven and Earth Stance and walking on his hands extremely interesting no matter how many times she looked at it.
Chen Ping'an flipped around and jumped back on his feet before taking a deep breath.
From Old Dragon City to Wasp Tail Ferry Station, and now to the Azure Phoenix Nation's Golden Osmanthus Temple, he was slowly recovering from Du Mao's strike that had pierced his abdomen. His strength was slowly climbing from the third tier back to the fourth. However, he still needed to rely on walking meditation, the medicinal wine, and a lengthy period of recuperation before he could return to the peak of the fifth tier.
In any case, there were both benefits and drawbacks to this. The drawback was naturally the fact that this would significantly delay his advance to the sixth tier. The benefit was that his foundation at the fifth tier would become even stronger.
Zhu Lian had once half-joked that even without external treasures, Chen Ping'an could still rely on his fifth-tier cultivation base as a pure martial artist to defeat him, Wei Xian, Lu Baixiang, and Sui Youbian, four pure martial artists at the peak of the sixth tier.
Sui Youbian had sneered in contempt, while Lu Baixiang had largely agreed with the assessment.
As for the taciturn Wei Xian, he had been busy talking nonsense with Pei Qian at the time.
Chen Ping'an sat down next to the table and checked the text that Pei Qian had copied. After confirming that she hadn't slacked off on any character, he signaled that she could head off to play.
