"Oh? Is it hard to cultivate, then?" Zhao Qibing had long since steeled himself. "It's fine, Uncle. As long as this technique is truly powerful, no matter how hard it is, I can succeed!"
"Haha, good! I knew you had spirit, Qibing. That's exactly why I brought this technique out for you!" Yu Xiaochen laughed and patted Zhao Qibing on the shoulder.
Zhao Qibing felt rather pleased with himself and continued reading the cultivation method for Thousand Legs, but he had barely read a few lines when his expression changed! The prerequisite for cultivating Thousand Legs was written like this:
"To practice Thousand Legs, one must first break one's legs. Break them nine times to unleash the first stance."
"What? I have to break my legs?" Zhao Qibing stared in astonishment at the cultivation requirements. What kind of martial technique was this? Why would it require breaking one's legs?
"Exactly, which is why I said it's very difficult!" Yu Xiaochen said with earnest gravity. "Only by enduring the bitterest hardship can one rise above others. If you think these conditions are too harsh, Qibing, then you can give up. After all, this is a path that ordinary people cannot endure. You must break your legs nine times to unleash the first stance, and the second and third stances are the same. The more times your legs are broken, the harder they become. At first you can break them yourself, but later on you can only seek out someone stronger to break them for you. So this technique is powerful, yes, but cultivating it is a thousand hardships and ten thousand bitter toils!"
"I see..." Zhao Qibing hesitated for a moment, then thought of something and felt a surge of joy! His legs had already been broken many times—not quite nine, but a few more and he could cultivate it smoothly! At that thought, Zhao Qibing gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, I'll cultivate this technique. I'm someone who can endure hardship!"
"Oh?" Zhao Qibing's answer stunned Yu Xiaochen! He had assumed that when Zhao Qibing saw such a difficult cultivation method, he would surely shrink back—and then the Hidden Yu family would have an explanation: it wasn't that they hadn't helped, it was simply that Zhao Qibing was too cowardly to cultivate it!
Not only would it strike a blow at Zhao Qibing, it would also give Old Master Zhao cause to reconsider whether to keep backing Zhao Qibing's rise, and it would leave an opportunity for the son of his sister Yu Xiaojin! In Yu Xiaochen's view, Zhao Qibing could not choose the simplest technique, and given his pampered upbringing, he would naturally never break his own legs to cultivate the hard one. But to his surprise, Zhao Qibing had actually chosen this technique, which left him utterly astonished.
