Night Without End-Chapter 7 - 5 Rebirth
Chapter 7: Chapter 5 Rebirth
Qin Ming nodded solemnly; it was indeed time to consider how to achieve "rebirth."
This was a major event, affecting one's whole life and future destiny.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the golden age, to achieve "rebirth" at this stage would bring the most benefits; missing it would be incredibly regrettable.
But it was difficult; the best of Shuangshu Village achieved "rebirth" only after the age of twenty, and some even succeeded after the age of thirty.
Even so, among the more than forty households and over two hundred people in the village, there were less than ten "newcomers."
Lu Ze spoke up: "Sick Boy from the neighboring village managed it, right within the golden age."
Qin Ming remembered Sick Boy—thin, sallow, frail-looking, with even sparser hair like withered grass.
He was genuinely surprised that such a seemingly weak youth managed to achieve "rebirth" during the golden age.
"When did it happen?"
"Almost a month ago." Lu Ze informed him that after Sick Boy's rebirth, he managed to lift a 400-jin black donkey in the yard, completely transforming from his frail past.
"How strange." Qin Ming truly hadn't expected that while many strong-bodied youths were repeatedly thwarted, Sick Boy succeeded in one go.
Lu Ze, too, was reflective; he himself was strong and considered formidable amongst the robust youths, but at twenty-three, he had yet to experience "rebirth."
"It is said that it has to do with one of his relatives." Lu Ze knew some inside information.
That relatively distant relative of Sick Boy, who had been wandering all year round, identified him as a good seedling upon his visit.
The man said that Sick Boy had previously had some health issues, failing to lock in his spirit, hence his sallow and sickly appearance; but his potential was actually tremendous.
The key was that the man brought back a copy of Advanced Will Power, and had Sick Boy practice this skill—a decision that showed a greatly remarkable effect and ultimately led to his "rebirth."
Qin Ming was lost in thought; one's encounters in life were truly unpredictable.
"Afterward, the man claimed that Sick Boy's inborn 'foundation' was much more solid than he had first guessed, and he may achieve great distances."
Not in his wildest dreams did Lu Ze expect someone who always seemed ill could become so formidable.
"Although we don't have Advanced Will Power, there are other viable methods. Xiao Qin, I think it's time to switch from your special training method," Lu Ze persuaded.
In his view, Qin Ming had a strong physical constitution, even stronger than his, already exceeding that of ordinary people.
However, despite such favorable conditions, Qin Ming's lack of "rebirth" probably lay in his own method of honing himself, unable to nurture the power needed for rebirth, failing to carry him forward.
He was already over sixteen; continuing like this, he would indeed miss the golden age.
Liang Wanqing also persuaded, "Xiao Qin, why not switch to practicing Brother Lu's Night Meditation Skill?"
Eternal Night shrouded the world, making the wilderness extremely dangerous. Under such conditions, various places had some public skill books, meant to allow everyone to improve their physique to protect themselves.
Of course, these books weren't high-end and were far different from the rare and precious secret books.
Qin Ming wasn't obstinate and appreciated their kindness, nodding, "I will seriously give it a try next."
Lu Ze let out a light sigh, thinking that Qin Ming's practice of the "Wild Technique" had delayed him, and it was still far inferior to his own beginner-level "Night Meditation Technique Introduction," but now switching practices seemed urgently timed.
He pondered that probably only Advanced Will Power could help Qin Ming change his situation quickly.
Lu Ze exhaled a cloud of turbid air, "Ah, even if there was just an Intermediate Secret Book, it would be terribly regrettable for someone with your conditions to miss this most precious golden age."
However, the books that could help people achieve "rebirth" within this region were limited to a few of similar levels, such as "Floating Life Skills Guide" and "Night Meditation Technique Introduction."
Qin Ming wasn't impatient, mainly because the exercises he had consistently practiced showed effects; his body glistened, and although the silvery ripples were faint, they were indeed manifesting, different from the past.
His handsome face was now tinged with a healthy rosiness, his eyes bright and clear, "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, please wait a bit longer; I should be able to succeed."
Rebirth allows one, on the foundation of their original physical quality, to surge with vigorous vitality as if returning to the womb, re-nurturing the robust power of new life.
Amidst the world's mortal dust, where everyone's physical condition is essentially fixed, to "refoundation" and undergo development once again is like experiencing a postnatal womb transformation.
Who wouldn't be moved by this?
For example, Sick Boy, who was physically weak before, could grasp and lift creatures weighing several hundred jin over his head after his rebirth.
Such a change was truly astonishing and could be likened to altering one's fate.
Imagine, if Lu Ze, who could already snap green bricks and break wooden dummies with his practice of Night Meditation Skill, experienced "rebirth," how fearsomely powerful would his punches and kicks become after a substantial increase in strength?
"After the chronic illness was fully cleared, my body feels different, never before in such a good state," Qin Ming was quite confident now.
Before Lu Ze and Liang Wanqing had a chance to respond, five-year-old Wen Rui was earnestly nodding his chubby face full of anticipation, "Uncle is the most powerful, and after Uncle succeeds, we will catch a mountain beast for stew, I... am craving it."
Two-year-old Little Wenhui, toddling close, echoed as well, his speech unclear, "Uncle... powerful, eat meat."
Qin Ming couldn't help but smile, "There's no need to wait; we can fulfill your wish today."
Then he took down a red squirrel that was hanging on the Hunting Fork.

The mutant squirrel's eyes, like black gems, were about to bulge out, followed by a look of terror.
