Into The Sky

The next morning, after Xu Chen woke up, he felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

Last night, he and Su Xiaoyue had both drunk wine. Su Xiaoyue had drunk most of the wine. Su Xiaoyue had not drunk. He had drunk too much, and it was Su Xiaoyue who had helped him into bed.

Xu Chen sat on the bed for a while, feeling better before getting out of bed.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Xu Chen first went to Su Xiao Yue's room. He found that Su Xiao Yue was no longer there and Xu Shengyan was still asleep. He left without disturbing her.

Xu Chen had always been in the habit of doing morning exercises. He was afraid that he would disturb Xu Shengyan's rest, so he came to the outside of the yard.

Although Su Xiaoyue's courtyard wasn't very big, it was a wide street, suitable for martial arts practice.

"A Ke, don't hold back. Come on!"

As soon as they left the courtyard, Xu Chen saw Su Xiaoyue and A Ke fighting. Xu Chen knew they were practicing martial arts and didn't disturb them. He just watched them quietly.

Su Xiaoyue dodged to the side, and then kicked back at A-Ke.

As the two of them fought, a powerful force burst forth, looking exceptionally fierce.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, they appeared to be very powerful. However, Xu Chen shook his head and did not think highly of them.

Although Xu Chen knew that Su Xiao Yue and her group's martial skills were common, he could tell that they were just ordinary martial skills.

Su Xiao Yue and the others hadn't learned anything, they had only imitated his movements well, acting strong on the outside but not acting like he was strong on the outside.

If they were to blindly use up their force, they would soon be exhausted. They looked very violent, but in reality, they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

As Xu Chen was thinking this, Su Xiao Yue and the rest had already fought for several rounds. From the sweat on their faces, he could tell that they were exhausted.

Su Xiao Yue and the others stopped to rest as well. After all, they were not fighting, so they didn't need to fight so desperately.

Su Xiaoyue had just picked up a towel to wipe off her sweat when she saw Xu Chen standing at the entrance to the courtyard. She walked towards him.

"How is it, are we strong?" Su Xiao Yue said proudly.

"Nope." Xu Chen looked at the energetic Su Xiaoyue and felt too embarrassed to give them a hard time.

"Tsk, then let's give it a try!" Su Xiaoyue was not convinced and wanted to challenge Xu Chen.

"My cultivation level isn't as high as yours. I can't beat him." It was true that Xu Chen's cultivation base was not high, but he was also somewhat modest when he said those words.

Even though Su Xiao Yue was at the ninth level of the Body Transformation stage, Xu Chen was only at the third level. There was a difference of six levels between them.

However, Su Xiao Yue and the others did not even know about the basic use of martial arts. Xu Chen had a great advantage in this aspect.

In a real fight, Xu Chen might not be able to handle Su Xiao Yue's brute force, but Su Xiao Yue might not be her match either.

"You know you can't beat him, yet you still act as if you understand him." Su Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Xu Chen.

"Just because you can't beat him doesn't mean you don't understand." The corner of Xu Chen's mouth curved into a smile.

"Haha, Xu Chen, do you think you're Xu Chen from my idol's Little Heaven Manor? You can't cultivate and you know how to." Su Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen smiled and shook his head. He didn't argue with Su Xiao Yue. After all, he couldn't possibly tell Su Xiao Yue that he was the Xu Chen that Su Xiao Yue was referring to, right?

Seeing Xu Chen smile and not say anything, Su Xiao Yue walked over and patted his shoulder. "Alright, then tell us, what do you know?"

"Don't try to be brave. Even if you don't understand, you won't be laughing at me."

"Alright, that's not right. Don't laugh at me." Xu Chen was a bit speechless, but he also wanted to give them pointers. He could only feign helplessness as he replied.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't laugh at you." Su Xiaoyue giggled as she looked at Xu Chen. From her expression, it could be seen that she didn't trust Xu Chen at all.

Hearing that, A-Ke couldn't help but roll her eyes at Su Xiao Yue. "Xu Chen, don't listen to Xiaoyue. We're all friends. It's fine to have an exchange of views."

Maybe it was because she wasn't very close with Xu Chen, but Su Xiaoyue's sister, A-Ke, had a sense of propriety.

"Yes." Xu Chen nodded, his expression becoming a little more serious. "Then let me give you my opinion on this."

"The martial skills that you two cultivated seemed to be full of vigor and vitality."

"But in reality, it requires a lot of martial power. Whether it's a cultivator with Divine Veins or a martial artist, they all have techniques and techniques to use in martial arts."

"As for the different ranks of Divine Skills or martial skills, it's because the higher the level, the less energy one would consume in order to be able to display the strongest offensive power."

"These things may be very far from you right now, but if you control all of your martial power well, you will also have an advantage over people of the same level."

"Not only will you increase your strength, your training speed will also be much faster."

"Tch, that's easy to say, but martial arts practice the whole body, not the meridians. What's the use of controlling those." Su Xiaoyue was not convinced, but she also felt that Xu Chen's words made sense.

"Aiya, Lil 'Yue, don't interrupt. I think that you're making quite a bit of sense. Listen to what Xu Chen has to say." A-Ke patted Su Xiao Yue coquettishly.

Xu Chen looked at Su Xiao Yue and smiled. He then continued, "Indeed, the martial way is the cultivation of the body. That's true. However, the use of force is a different matter."

"If two burly men were to fight with brute force, what would be the difference between them and an ordinary person?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try controlling the force in your body today."

"In a battle, try your best to avoid leaking martial arts. When using martial arts, kick with your legs and use martial arts on your legs. Use your fists and use your martial arts on your fists."

"Then what if we can't control it?" A-Ke asked.

"Martial power is a part of the body. As long as you are patient and use your heart to feel its existence, you will be able to control it." Xu Chen stopped there. Some things could only be understood but not conveyed.

This was because each person's cultivation method was different, and the way they used their strength was also different. If one imitated others, it wouldn't be as deep of a memory as comprehending one's own.

"Fine." A-Ke and her sisters looked at each other. They understood what Xu Chen meant.

Teacher Fu led the way in, practicing his skills alone.

A-Ke and the others had already gone to practice according to Xu Chen's instructions. Su Xiaoyue stared at Xu Chen with wide, round, almond-shaped eyes. "Is it that simple?"

"Sometimes training isn't as complicated as I thought." Xu Chen lightly smiled.

These were only the most basic cultivation methods. How profound could they be?

"Humph, Xu Chen, don't lie to us. If not, I will make sure to take care of you." Su Xiaoyue pouted and waved her fist at Xu Chen.

"I'm just afraid that you'll thank me too much at that time. Just don't repay me with your body." Xu Chen rubbed his nose as he teased Su Xiaoyue.

"Wow! Xu Chen, you actually dare to tease me!" Su Xiaoyue bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Xu Chen. However, in the blink of an eye, she made a face at him.

"I thought you had always been a proper and elegant young master. I didn't expect you to be such a hooligan!"

"When did I act like a scoundrel?" Xu Chen was speechless.

"Hehe, I'm not telling you!" Su Xiaoyue stuck her tongue out at Xu Chen and ran off to practice martial arts with her sisters.

Looking at Su Xiao Yue's back, Xu Chen shook his head helplessly and started his morning practice.

Although Xu Chen's body was now much better than before, he still practiced that body strengthening martial skill.

This was because Xu Chen was a person who cherished the past. That cultivation technique was taught by the Warm Jade Hand, so he did not want to change anything.

Just like that, Xu Chen practiced with Xu Chen, Su Xiaoyue and the rest with them. Occasionally, Su Xiaoyue would let out cheers and be very active.

This caused Xu Chen, who was practicing his martial arts in silence, to feel somewhat lonely. However, Xu Chen did not feel this way.

After Xu Chen finished practicing, Su Xiaoyue, A-Ke, and the others ran over to him happily.

"Thank you, Xu Chen. The way you said it does seem very useful." A-Ke thanked Xu Chen sincerely.

They had followed Xu Chen's instructions and tried to control their own martial power. They had only tried it a few times, and then used it in battle.

The effect was obvious. When they started fighting, they would feel exhausted after a few rounds.

And now, they were following Xu Chen's instructions to control all the martial power in their bodies. Although they weren't proficient in it, they didn't feel exhausted after more than ten rounds.

If they continued to persevere like this, their strength and cultivation speed would surely greatly increase in the future.

They could feel it, so they thanked Xu Chen for his guidance from the bottom of their hearts.

"Xu Chen, I didn't expect you to be so capable." Su Xiaoyue ran over and patted Xu Chen's shoulder. "I won't mind your teasing me!"

"In the future, you're welcome to tease me! Hehe!" Su Xiaoyue smiled sweetly at Xu Chen, then waved her hand and said, "Sisters, it's time to make breakfast!"

Thus, a group of young ladies entered the courtyard with a clamor and a look of pleasure on their faces. Xu Chen looked at their backs and a smile on his face.

It was good to live like this, if only Lan Tian and Warm Jade were here.
