Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 - Now It's Time

'Now is the time!' Ximen Wei thought to himself as he took a deep breath and prepared to make his move. As soon as the horse carriage entered the crowded market, he seized the opportunity and jumped out, his heart racing with anticipation.

Song Peizhi was caught completely off guard, still immersed in his stories and paying no attention to Ximen Wei. It took him a few moments to realize what had happened, and when he did, he erupted into a fit of rage. "GUARDS!" he yelled, his voice echoing through the crowded market.

Almost instantly, a group of city guards dressed in leather armor and wielding batons rushed to the carriage, awaiting orders. Song Peizhi's status as a noble meant that he had a great deal of influence in the city, and with just a word, the guards were at his beck and call.

"Find that little rascal," he commanded, his face twisted with anger. "He looks like..." His voice trailed off as he tried to describe Ximen Wei, clearly agitated by the boy's escape attempt.

As the guards began their search, Ximen Wei darted into the crowd, using his small, slender physique to his advantage as he moved quickly and stealthily through the throngs of people. He weaved and dodged around the other pedestrians, his movements fluid and graceful like a fish in water.

The guards could be seen moving through the crowd, inspecting every child they came across, but they were still a ways away from Ximen Wei. He knew he had to keep moving, had to keep one step ahead of them if he wanted to maintain his freedom.

Finally, after almost an hour of running and hiding, Ximen Wei found himself in an inconspicuous corner, panting roughly as he caught his breath. His escape had been a success, and as long as he was careful, he knew he wouldn't be caught.

'Great, I finally shook them off,' he thought to himself, relieved that he had managed to outsmart his pursuers and escape their clutches. Now all he had to do was stay hidden and lay low until he could figure out his next move.

'Now, I gotta become a Qi Expert!' Ximen Wei thought to himself, his eyes shining brightly with determination as he considered the immense power that these mysterious figures held. He knew that becoming a Qi Expert was the only way he could hope to return home and regain his freedom.

'The City Lord is a wind path Qi Expert,' he mused to himself. 'Is that some sort of branch? If he can control wind, then maybe I can become a space path Qi Expert and control space?' He couldn't help but wonder what other amazing abilities these Qi Experts possessed, and he knew that he had to do whatever it took to become one of them.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Ximen Wei began to devise a plan. He knew that he couldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen – he had to take control of his own destiny and make things happen for himself. And so, he set his sights on becoming a Qi Expert, no matter what the cost.

'Now, I gotta become a Qi Expert!' Ximen Wei thought to himself, his eyes shining brightly with determination as he considered the immense power that these mysterious figures held. He knew that becoming a Qi Expert was the only way he could hope to return home and regain his freedom.

Qi is a mysterious and magical power that defies explanation. It takes countless forms, such as fire Qi, water Qi, lightning Qi, wind Qi, and many more. If one masters fire Qi, they become a fire path Qi Expert, a person who can control the power of fire. The same applies to the other forms of Qi.

Some people are naturally gifted with an affinity for a particular form of Qi, while others have to work hard to cultivate their abilities. But no matter what form it takes, Qi is a formidable force that can be harnessed and wielded by those who are skilled and determined enough to do so.

For those who seek to become Qi Experts, the path is long and difficult, full of challenges and obstacles. But for those who are able to overcome these challenges, the rewards are great. They gain incredible powers and abilities, and the respect and admiration of those around them. It is a journey that requires dedication, hard work, and a fierce desire to succeed.

The City Lord of Green Lotus City is a wind path Rank 2 Qi Expert, a formidable figure who commands the power of the wind. Rumor has it that his punch carries the might of a tornado, and his breath alone is capable of summoning powerful winds that can topple trees and collapse houses. Such is the strength and power of a Qi Expert, who can harness the elements and bend them to their will. It is a truly awe-inspiring sight to behold, and one that inspires both fear and respect in those who witness it.

'My path to returning home is a bit clearer now,' Ximen Wei thought to himself as he considered his options. 'I hope the powers Qi Experts provide are enough, but if not... maybe with the long lifespan of Qi Experts, I can construct some sort of spaceship? But that's a problem for later, after I become a Rank 5 Qi Expert.'

With that, Ximen Wei set his sights on a new goal: becoming a legendary Rank 5 Qi Expert, no matter what it took. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to do whatever it took to achieve his dream. And so, with a fierce resolution shining in his deep, abyss-like eyes, he set off on his journey to greatness.
