Chapter 197: Chapter 178: Maritime Boundary Division



"You're indeed a genius..."

Cheng Lixue looked at Tao Yu, her face showing a mix of complex emotions.

Whether it was regarding the memorization of meridian knowledge or the toughness of his meridians themselves, he was simply born for martial arts!

Even though he started his enlightenment at a relatively old age, his future achievements would still be astonishing.

In just a few days, he had completely mastered all the basic aspects; it felt like he could start learning the basic techniques of the Snowy Mountain Sect at any time if he so wanted.

But thinking of the absurd things that had happened over the past few days, Cheng Lixue's pretty face blushed and her legs twisted awkwardly, her chest heaving.

And Tao Yu was also a bit at a loss for how to describe the Cheng Lixue he was facing now.

In truth, Tao Yu had only flattered her a bit, and although the thought had flashed through his mind, he hadn't seriously intended to practice "Riding" like Park Ji-hyun did at the beginning.

An upright martial heroine, ah, who's so pretty and suspected of being the female lead—just the type you'd casually flirt with.

Having experienced the refinement of a wealthy patroness, Tao Yu had high standards and wasn't keen on wasting his sword-drawing speed on trivial matters when punching would do.

Conserving energy better prepares one for a patroness's support.

Yet he hadn't expected that a casual flirtation would lead to mutual understanding, the process going so smoothly that Tao Yu was a little stunned.

During training, when his True Qi stimulated her and she grabbed his hand, she couldn't let go.

Although after each encounter, she would regretfully say, "This was a mistake, it can't happen again."

Or, "Let's pretend nothing ever happened."

But next time it would be the same, repeating similar phrases with slightly different words.

She would also spout all sorts of nonsense during the process, overly Sensitive.

Digging out some stockings and such for her to put on, although she continued to say, "What kind of shameless thing is this?" she still went ahead and changed right in front of Tao Yu.

The key was that Tao Yu's Spirit Perception could feel that she was speaking truthfully.

This time it really wasn't about controlling her or playing any kinks.

It was mainly about using the Taming Technique to correct her bodily responses.

Too exaggerated isn't good; those things are okay to do to oneself, oneself can handle it.

What kind of female warrior is this from another world? It's quite unbelievable but indeed thrilling—of course, it can't compare with the patroness, but at least it helped to regain some confidence, avoiding doubts about life every day...

...

"Thank you, Master Tao. You really solved a big problem for me."

Feeling the effects of the Psychic Seed, Cheng Lixue's face was full of joy, and she glanced at Tao Yu with an alluring look.

"Glad to hear you're satisfied. What you taught me has been a great help too."

Tao Yu chose to respond with utmost seriousness.

"Those are just some basic introductory knowledge, I haven't passed on to you the Internal Cultivation Methods, it's nothing much."

Cheng Lixue wore a complex and conflicted expression. If the Abyss was as it seemed, she wouldn't be able to return to her sect in the future.

And if by chance the Snowy Mountain Sect could expand its branches here, she wouldn't mind teaching her sect's martial arts to him.

It's just that he seemed to look down on the martial arts of the Snowy Mountain Sect a bit, leaving Cheng Lixue slightly upset.

"Cough, Lady Cheng, recklessly practicing various conflicting Internal Cultivation Methods might lead to adverse effects, so I think being cautious is actually good."

Tao Yu gave a dry chuckle.

Along the way, he had also indirectly learned about their abilities and the limit of the Snowy Mountain Sect.

To be honest, compared to the Metal Series of martial arts, they were not as good by a fair margin, possibly at the level of the Legendary Deer Sect if one had to classify.

As for Tao Yu himself, he knew more about the Martial Arts World from TV dramas. The two most impressive things he could remember were the Sweeping Monk's three-foot Qi wall and Murong Bo's seven to eight zhang long palm force.

Besides, many Martial Artists didn't possess strong endurance. If talking about long-distance palm strikes, someone with Inner Strength like Zhang Wuji could manage at most two hundred.
