Two people walked through the family courtyard, and in the distance, the magnificent architecture of the Battle Arena gradually came into their view. It towered grandly, like a sacred place for warriors, exuding an atmosphere of majesty and mystery.
On the signboard of the room, three vigorous blood-red characters were engraved - "Battle Arena".
With the shouts coming from the Battle Arena, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This place is usually deserted, but today it's very lively.
Xiao Yan shrugged, thought about it casually, then put the matter aside and continued towards the direction of the Battle Arena.
When they stepped into the Battle Arena, Gu Yunzhi's gaze slightly narrowed, and soon he spotted Xiao Xun'er's figure.
As soon as you step into the Battle Arena, the cheers and applause of young boys and girls come rolling in.
The Battle Arena is divided into two areas, with the eastern area serving as the storage place for family martial arts, while the western area is a fairly large training ground.
At this moment, many people are gathered on the training ground, eagerly watching the two people competing in the field.
"Look at the concentration of Xiao Ning's cousin's Qi of Fight, I'm afraid it has already reached the eighth level of Qi of Fight, right?"
"Hey, two months ago, Xiao Ning's cousin already advanced to the eighth stage of Qi of Fight."
"Even though he has reached the eighth stage of Qi of Fight, Xun'er's cousin is at the ninth stage, so it seems unlikely that Xiao Ning's cousin will be able to win."
"Xun'er, cousin, keep it up!"
Hearing the exclamations and cheers from the crowd, Xiao Yan couldn't help but pause for a moment, scanning the training ground with his eyes before finally settling on the beautiful girl in the light purple dress.
Xiao Yan then walked towards the martial arts collection area, hoping to find some suitable martial arts techniques for himself, so that he could rely on them in actual combat when he passed the coming-of-age ceremony.
"Why is this little girl free to spar with someone today?" Xiao Yan thought to himself, then walked towards the east side of the main hall. He casually picked up a black scroll from the nearby shelf and slowly unfolded it. On the back of the scroll, several large yellow characters were displayed - "Yellow Grade Low Level: Shattered Stone Palm"!
Xiao Yan leaned leisurely against the bookshelf, studying the practice method of the Fragmented Stone Palm while occasionally glancing at the intense training ground.
The spacious hall seemed to be divided into two worlds, with the western area bustling and the eastern area quiet and peaceful.
Xun'er's opponent is also a young man, but he appears to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome, and somewhat resembles Caleo whom they had seen before.
This young man is named Xiao Ning, the grandson of the elder of The Xiao Family, with remarkable talent in cultivation. At the age of only seventeen, he has already cultivated to the eighth stage of Qi of Fight, and within the family, only Xun'er can surpass him.
At this moment, Xiao I Robot appeared and reminded Gu Yunzhi: "Master, you must quickly take Xiao Yan away from here. After Xiao Xun'er's competition ends, she will come this way."
Gu Yunzhi asked in confusion, "Is the situation very serious?"
Xiao I Robot replied, "Yes, once Xiao Xun'er's favorability increases, it will be even harder for you to gain favorability."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but show a nervous expression, hastily thinking of a solution. Suddenly, she remembered that there were still two chances for a lucky draw, perhaps she could make use of one.
On the training ground, Xiao Xun'er is like a light purple butterfly, elegantly and agilely evading Xiao Ning's fierce attacks. Her delicate and elegant face always maintains a calmness like a still ancient well.
The small hand seemed to casually deflect Xiao Ning's close-range attack, and Xun'er's gaze wandered around the hall for a moment before suddenly fixing on something.
Her gaze only stopped on the young man buried in a book on the east side of the hall, leaning against the bookshelf. Xiao Xun'er's serene face revealed a gentle and elegant smile, seemingly unaware of the woman Gu Yunzhi beside him.
The elegant smile of the girl at that moment made the nearby boys pause for a moment.
"Xun'er, be careful!" Just as Xiao Xun'er was slightly distracted, a young man in the crowd suddenly shouted out a urgent reminder. Sensing the fierce energy behind her, Xun'er raised her delicate eyebrows, but her gaze once again turned to the boy under the bookshelf.
At the same time, Xiao Yan also raised his head and saw Xun'er suddenly being attacked in the field. He furrowed his brows, shook his head helplessly, and his eyes revealed a faint worry.
Seeing the displeasure and concern between Xiao Yan's brows, Xun'er playfully blinked her beautiful big eyes. Then her figure suddenly lightly stepped to the left. This seemingly insignificant step strangely caused Xiao Ning's attack to completely deviate from its direction, undoubtedly demonstrating Xun'er's extraordinary agility and alertness.
Gu Yunzhi took a deep breath and took out the reserved lottery card. This was her hard-earned two chances, hoping to draw some items that would help Xiao Yan improve his strength at once. She tightly held the lottery card in her hand, praying for a good harvest.
"Ding dong," the prize card began to spin, and Gu Yunzhi's heart raced along with it. The card emitted a strong light, and finally, a heavy scroll appeared.
"Congratulations, you have obtained the high-level martial art skill 'Sky Thunder Palm' at the Profound level!" The prize card shimmered with golden words.
Gu Yunzhi was extremely excited, this was exactly what she needed.
For Xiao Yan, a high-level martial skill from the mysterious class was undoubtedly a big surprise.
She couldn't wait to hand the scroll to Xiao Yan, who was buried in the study of "Huangjie Low Level: Pebble Palm".
Xiao Yan saw the martial arts scroll and a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickly spread it out, and on the back of the scroll appeared several large yellow characters.
"Mysterious Class High Grade: 'Sky Thunder Palm'."
Xiao Yan thought: "This is much more powerful than the Yellow Class Low Grade 'Shattered Stone Palm' I just found in The Xiao Family's library!"
"Gu Yunzhi, thank you. This high-level mysterious-rank martial art is perfect for me," he gratefully glanced at Gu Yunzhi and then began to focus on studying it.
"Sky Thunder Palm" is a powerful martial art technique, primarily based on internal force shock and able to harness the power of heaven and earth to release thunder and lightning shocks.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but show a happy expression, then immediately pulled Gu Yunzhi out of the Battle Arena, eager to start practicing this martial art. He knew very well that this martial art would greatly benefit his strength.
Suddenly, Gu Yunzhi's Xiao I Robot made a "ding-dong" sound, displaying: "Successfully prevented the encounter between Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan, and helped Xiao Yan greatly increase his strength, gaining 150,000 gold coins and 50,000 experience points. Also, received one chance for a lucky draw."
Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Obviously, this side mission had a significant impact, with rewards far exceeding any previous missions completed. Her favorability rating had also increased from 40% to 43%, which made her even more eager to see what changes the next mission would bring.
Xiao-I also specifically reminded her that as favorability increased, subsequent increases would become increasingly difficult, and there was even a possibility of deductions. Therefore, she had to be more careful in making decisions and consider every word she spoke.
On the other hand, the training ground of Xiao Xun'er.
After a few moves, Xiao Xun'er's delicate hand, as beautiful as jade, emitted a faint golden glow. Her palm, like a flower piercing through leaves, easily penetrated Xiao Ning's palm seal, and finally landed lightly on Xiao Ning's chest. Her toes lightly tapped the blue stone floor as Xun'er gracefully spun around, skillfully resolving the rebounding force, and calmly watched as Xiao Ning retreated more than ten steps, finally stepping out of the training ground.
As Xiao Ning, defeated by a single palm, looked on, a momentary silence fell over the training ground, followed by a sudden burst of applause and cheers. The continuous praise and cheers from the crowd proved that Xun'er's strength had gained everyone's recognition.
"Hehe, Cousin Xun'er is indeed the outstanding figure among the younger generation of our family. She's getting stronger and stronger." Even though Xun'er had knocked him down, Xiao Ning still wore a warm and gentle smile on his face.
He walked up to her, softly expressing his admiration for Xun'er. Xiao Ning's grace and Xun'er's strength made the atmosphere on the training ground even more intense.
When Xiao Xun'er turned around and looked to the other side where the family martial arts storage was, trying to find the figure of that young man, she found that he was already gone...
Xiao Xun'er found it difficult to conceal her disappointed expression...
Xiao Yan returned to the room and, following the instructions in the book, began to practice step by step.
"Little Yan child, where did you get this martial arts scroll from?" Beside the young man, a somewhat illusory old man stood suspended in the air, looking at the scroll spread out in the young man's hand, and asked curiously.
"Old man, it was given to me by Yun Zhi," Xiao Yan said proudly.
Medicine master did not say anything more, but couldn't help but ponder. Being able to casually produce the Yellow-ranked martial arts of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, as well as possessing the legendary third-ranked medicine cauldron: The Purple Abyss Cauldron, this deeply hidden girl is truly a mystery. Even the medicine master is finding it hard to see through her.
As for the martial arts of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, although a bit troublesome, it should be fine for this little The Empire of Gamma to use. However, to be on the safe side, medicine master plans to teach another profound-level advanced martial art for treating Yan later on.
"Xiao Yan, just practicing here won't fully master this martial art. Tomorrow we will head to Warcraft Mountains, where I will guide you on truly learning the 'Sky Thunder Palm'," the medicine master suddenly said.
"Okay, teacher," Xiao Yan responded eagerly.
