Chapter 370 - 338 World’s No.1 Ambition
Hearing Wu’s words, Bai Tao scoffed, "Being too arrogant in youth is not necessarily a good thing!"
He was set on becoming the Sitting Hall Leader of Hongmen, boasting both ambition and strength, and held himself in high regard. To lower his stance today in front of a junior and still be rejected by Wu was inevitably displeasing.
Wu gave Bai Tao a fist salute and stated respectfully but firmly, "Senior is correct, I will definitely keep that in mind."
To Wu, his respect for Bai Tao was not due to the latter’s status, but his accomplishments in martial arts. Therefore, Wu did not continue to press the issue, having already made his stance clear.
Seeing how Wu reacted, Bai Tao’s expression softened somewhat.
After all, there were no conflicts of interest between them. Although Wu was close to Zhiyuan Hall, it was clear he was unlikely to join them. Even if Bai Tao felt slighted, it wasn’t enough to warrant hostility toward Wu. People who made enemies over slight provocations could not have reached Bai Tao’s position.
Waving his hand, Bai Tao gestured for Wu to sit with him.
"If I’m not mistaken, in your cultivation of Fist Intent, you’ve begun to grasp borrowing the momentum of all things and are on the threshold of achieving Unity of Heaven and Man," said Bai Tao.
Hearing this, Wu immediately knew that Bai Tao’s spiritual cultivation must be very close to Spirit, otherwise he couldn’t have so accurately assessed his own realm.
"That’s right," Wu nodded.
"Ten years ago, I initially created the Bone Marrow Skill you saw earlier. Over the next four years, I gradually refined it; at the same time, practicing day and night without rest. Five years ago, I achieved great success with the Bone Marrow Skill, reaching the stage where the inner and outer forces connect, allowing me to manifest the Innate Gang Qi recorded in the Fist Scripture."
