Quest Reward: Thirty years of Chunyang Tongzi Gong (Pure Yang Child Skill) power. Quest Status: Completed, quest reward will be issued in one minute." Liu Qing was even more puzzled after seeing the words on his forearm. Liu Qing had been practicing the family martial art, Xingyi Quan, with his grandfather since he was six years old, and had been practicing for almost 12 years. At fifteen, his strength transitioned from visible to internal, breaking through to the internal strength level. At seventeen, his internal strength permeated his entire body, reaching perfection. His muscles were like a python, his qi and strength were perfectly combined, and he could control his strength freely, reaching the grandmaster level where not even a feather could be added, not even a fly could land.
