C63 Part2

“With the strength of Tier 3, it’s a wonder that Nian JiMo can still fight with an expert of Tier 4.” Ling Yue added from the side.

Xiang BuChen nodded: “Once he reaches Tier 4, Nian JiMo can easily crush Xu with the help of these techniques.” After speaking, he turned to look at Yang QiQi as he said calmly: “Your martial art techniques suit both Nian JiMo and me since we are quite similar in some aspects, such as our agility.”

This problematic fellow’s calm attitude actually created a good impression on Yang QiQi. She had long sensed that he was really looking forward to learning her techniques. So, he was exceptionally serious in the training sessions every morning. It’s just that she still had some apprehension in disclosing those skills to outsiders. What she had made Ling Yue and Tu Jin practice were just some basic moves.

“These martial arts techniques have been handed down to only those in our family or those who are extremely close to us…” She looked straight into his eyes, “Nian JiMo and Zheng Shou are my males so I did not violate the ancestral rules by teaching it to them. If the three of you want to learn, you can only accept me as your master… You must also understand that without my explicit approval, you all are not allowed to divulge or teach these martial art techniques to anyone else. Otherwise, let alone me, even the LingWu City’s Saintess Hall won’t let you get away with it.”

Since the LingWu City’s Saintess Hall had already sent Xu to her, it had clearly indicated that they regard Yang QiQi as a member of their own. Also, her martial art techniques, in their opinion, should also have become the exclusive skills of the Hall. Yang QiQi somewhat acknowledged this move made by the LingWu Hall. She didn’t care if that Saintess Hall had 'unsightly table manners' or if the other party was taking advantage of her. As long as she also gained some benefits and grew up safely in the process, she wouldn’t feel offended by it at all.

There was no free meal in the world. Hence, if she wanted or expected others to back her up and protect her interests, she would naturally also need to pay them appropriately.

“Of course! We would never let others know about it. The competition between the Green-ranked Saintess Hall is merely two months from now ah. At that time, the City will be brimming with experts from all the 62 Saintess Halls. I am afraid that we will be eliminated halfway through the contest. That would be too embarrassing.” Tu Jin cried out beside him.

“Talking about being defeated even before the competition begins… If you are so uneasy, it’d be better if you don’t participate altogether.” Ling Yue cast a quick glance at him, and then said to Yang QiQi: “QiQi, we don’t understand your family’s rules. Whatever we are allowed or not allowed to do, you just have to inform us. We will never overstep our limits.”

The Yang family’s routine to formally accept an apprentice was awfully complicated. However, now that this was happening in another world, there was no need to follow those rules. So, Yang QiQi looked at them and said, “As long as you swear an oath to the Beast God that you won’t disclose these martial arts techniques to outsiders, it’ll be done.”

She also wanted them to make another vow about not harming her and her family by using these very techniques too, but she recalled that they had already sworn a similar vow before when they became her so-called partners. She swallowed the words back.

“That’s it?! This is not difficult.” Ling Yue raised his palm to the side of his forehead and said loudly, “I, Ling Yue, swear to the Beast God. Today, I take Yang QiQi as my master, and without her permission, I will never divulge the martial arts techniques I have learned from her to anyone else. If I violate this oath, I would be punished by the Beast God without mercy.”

Xiang Buchen and Tu Jin also followed his lead.

Meanwhile in the arena, not being able to take his opponent down, Nian JiMo roared and quickly transformed into his beast form, a huge white python, and attacked Xu.

“You are digging your own grave.” Xu hummed softly. His figure also changed as he transformed into a black gigantic fox in a flash and rushed towards the white python.

‘Xu’s beast form is a fox?’

It was a surprise to Yang QiQi. Xu’s appearance was excessively dignified and rigorous and he seemed full of masculinity. The discrepancy between the allure and charm of his fox form and the impressive grandeur of his human form was really too much… ‘Could this be because he is a black fox and not a white or a red fox? Do black foxes belong to the moralist and conservative faction?’

In the arena, Nian JiMo raised his tail and suddenly pounced on Xu.

Xu did not retreat. Instead, he raised his paws and delivered a heavy blow to his opponent.
