Chapter 1660 Trying to Master the Fourth Stage
'Should I try mastering the fourth stage as well?'
At this moment, he remembered something.
Wan Shun still had not explained the fourth stage to him!
He would not be able to master it if he did not know how to do it. For this reason, he immediately rose to his feet and stood in front of Wan Shun.
"Elder, can you tell me how to master the fourth stage?" Xiao Tian hoped Wan Shun would not refuse his wish.
Before Wan Shun could answer Xiao Tian's question, Wan Ying uttered, "Grandpa, you have to help big brother Qing master all the stages because you are his master now."
Wan Shun shifted his gaze from Xiao Tian to his granddaughter. "Since when did I become his master?"
"Since big brother Qing bought many novels for me." Wan Ying told her grandpa about her promise to Xiao Tian.
Wan Shun was at a loss for words after hearing her words.
'What?! I only went out to look for food, but I had a disciple after returning home?!'
All this time, he always refused to take disciple because he only wanted to spend time with his granddaughter.
He just did not expect that her granddaughter would give him a disciple out of the blue like that.
When Wan Ying saw her grandpa's expression, she uttered, "You can't say no because I had promised him to make him your disciple."
Even though Xiao Tian did not say anything, but he liked what Wan Ying was doing.
'Good job, Ying. Good job.'
He decided to bring a lot of snacks and drinks when he visited her house again.
Wan Shun returned his attention to Xiao Tian.
Of course, he still did not accept Xiao Tian as his disciple because her granddaughter did not discuss it with him before.
However, he would not refuse to help Xiao Tian. "The fourth stage is to touch the energy of heaven and earth."
Wan Shun said he could stand on the water or on top of a tree if he could master this stage.
He also told Xiao Tian that Lan Ruoxi was at this stage. "Everything in this world is shrouded in energy. There is an energy enveloping the stones. There is an energy covering the trees."
He then continued, "However, you can't see it because you still haven't mastered the fifth stage."
Xiao Tian paid attention to Wan Shun's words carefully.
"The first thing to master the fourth stage is to feel the energy that pervades everything in this world." Wan Shun spoke, "After that, you need to channel the energy in your martial arts points to the desired body parts such as feet and hands."
To put it simply, if Xiao Tian wanted to stand on the water, he needed to feel the energy enveloping the water first.
After that, he needed to channel the energy in his martial arts points to his feet.
"Use the energy on the water as a foothold to stand in the water." Wan Shun explained everything slowly. "However, you need to control the energy in your feet. The energy in your feet and the energy in the water need to be in balance."
Like before, Xiao Tian paid attention to Wan Shun's words carefully.
Wan Shun then pointed his right index finger at the small fish pond. "Can you feel the thin layer on the water? That thin layer is the energy of heaven and Earth enveloping the water. Use that thin layer as a foothold to stand on the water."
"Thank you, elder." After saying that, Xiao Tian sat in front of a fish pond.
All this time, he could only feel the energy in the air, not the energy that enveloped everything on Earth.
'Feel the energy on the water.'
Because he could feel the energy in the air, it was easy for him to feel the energy in the water.
'Yes. I can feel it.'
He felt a thin layer on the water.
The layer was soft but strong.
It was colorless like the wind.
To be more precisely, it was like flowing water.
Even though he could feel the energy on the water, he did not try to stand on the water immediately because he was not sure he could succeed in one try.
He would get wet if he fell into the fish pond, so he would try it after returning home.
"Big brother Qing, why don't you try standing on that fish pond?" Wan Ying inquired.
"I will try it after returning home." Xiao Tian refused immediately.
"Then let's eat snacks again, big brother Qing." Qiao Luli uttered.
"Sure." Xiao Tian agreed because he felt a little hungry after practicing martial arts.
After chatting for more than an hour, Xiao Tian and Qiao Luli went home.
----
The following morning, Xiao Tian headed to the backyard after having breakfast.
His intention was clear.
He wanted to try to stand on the water.
He had a swimming pool in the backyard, so he could try to stand on the water.
knew he would fall into the water later.
'Feel the energy on the water and channel my energy into my feet.'
"I will try it now." Xiao Tian was only wearing shorts because he knew he would fall into the water later.
'Feel the energy on the water and channel my energy into my feet.'
After sensing a thin layer on the water, he channeled the energy in his martial arts point into his feet.
'Let's do this.'
He immediately stepped on the water.
*Splash…Biurr…
Like what he had guessed, he failed and fell into the water.
"This is challenging." He got out of the pool and tried to stand up on the water again.
However, the result was the same.
He failed!
He fell into the water again!
"What are you doing, student Xiao?" Su Ruanyi asked curiously.
"I'm trying to stand on the water." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.
"Stand on the water?" she was shocked after hearing his words. "Student Xiao, are you still sleeping now?"
"I know it's hard to believe it, but special humans can stand on the water." He was not surprised by her reaction.
"Do you mean you are a special human?" she teased him.
"That's right." He did not feel shy when he said this. "I'm a candidate to be the Ruler, so I'm a special human."
"Hehe." She could not help but giggle.
Of course, she did not believe it because she was not a martial artist. She did not know that candidates to be the Ruler could do impossible things.
"My love, why are you giggling?" he inquired, "I'm not lying to you. I'm indeed a special human."
"You should stop watching fantasy movies or else you will think you can fly later." Like before, she giggled after saying these cruel words.
"Do you want to bet with me?" he asked.
"Sure." She accepted immediately because she believed he would not be able to stand on the water.
"If I can stand on the water, you have to kiss me." he uttered.
"What if you can't stand on the water?" she inquired.
"Then I will kiss you." He responded.
"Aren't you the only one who will benefit if the bet is like that?" she answered.
"Because I'm your boyfriend." He replied.
"It's not fair for me." She uttered, "If I win, I want you to follow my words for a whole day. You can't say no to my words."
"Sure." After saying that, Xiao Tian stood by the pool. "Pay attention to me carefully, my love. I will show you something impossible."
'I can't fail this time.'
He added in his head.
