Chapter 61: Ancient Martial Arts Inheritance

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Ancient Martial Arts Inheritance

The first thing Gu Qing did after getting home was head straight for his sister’s room.

He wanted to see how she was doing, especially after the last awkward experience of barging in without knocking and catching his campus-goddess sister picking at her feet.

This time,

he finally knew to knock before going in.

"KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!"

"Who is it?"

"The most handsome man in the world."

"What do you want?"

"Open up. I brought you some snacks."

"It’s not locked. Come in yourself."

"I’m coming in, then!"

Gu Qing turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, walking inside.

His campus-goddess sister, Gu Yao, was sitting at her desk, studying diligently.

Hearing the door open behind her, Gu Yao swiveled her chair around to look at her narcissistic brother who had just entered.

Seeing her brother come in empty-handed, she couldn’t help but furrow her pretty brows and ask in confusion:

"Where’s the food?"

"I forgot it."

"You narcissist! How dare you trick me! I curse you to forget the toilet paper next time you take a dump!"

"Good. You’ve got spirit. Even your cursing is so energetic. Now I can rest assured."

"Hey, are you mental?"

"Alright, little sis. You keep studying. I won’t bother you anymore. See ya."

After saying that, Gu Qing turned and slipped away.

Gu Yao was left completely baffled, finding the whole thing inexplicable.

...

After leaving his sister’s room, Gu Qing took a shower.

He lay in bed playing on his phone.

He planned to go to sleep right at midnight.

It was all about that self-discipline.

As he was lying there,

Gu Qing felt that the mosquito net draped over his bed was an eyesore and a nuisance.

So he just got up and took it down.

His skin was tough and thick now, anyway. There was no way a mosquito’s short, thin, soft proboscis could pierce it.

After taking down the mosquito net, Gu Qing went back to playing on his phone.

He scrolled through his Friends Circle and saw a new post Liu Zhiyi had just made.

[We’re taking the day off on Sunday, so the Little Fairy Pet Shop will be closed. Please don’t make a wasted trip, dears!]

’Just as I thought. Sister Zhiyi is taking Sunday off.’

’This means that when I come home on weekends, I can only grind Attributes from her for one day.’

’In other words, I’ll have to wait until at least summer vacation to get the Essence Blood Enslavement Attribute.’

’But it’s only the end of April now. Summer vacation is still more than two months away.’

’That’s way too long.’

’No, I have to find another tag to grind Attributes from during this time.’

’Otherwise, my time will be completely wasted.’

Gu Qing fell into deep thought over this.

Just then, his phone suddenly started vibrating violently.

He glanced at the screen and saw that it was his junior with the twin ponytails, "running hot" in the middle of the night. She had sent him over a dozen sexy swimsuit photos in a row.

[Huang Xiaoyue: (Bikini Photo) x12]

[Huang Xiaoyue: Senior, I bought a new swimsuit recently. Do I look cute in it?]

[Huang Xiaoyue: I’ll let you in on a little secret, Senior... this is the first time I’ve ever worn a swimsuit for a guy to see. It’s a little embarrassing.]

’Hah, she’s really putting on an act.’

’You’re the thirstiest girl in all of Hai City University!’

Gu Qing complained internally.

His phone vibrated violently again.

[Huang Xiaoyue: Senior, let’s find some time to go to the beach together.]

[Huang Xiaoyue: I’ll wear this swimsuit for you then.]

[Huang Xiaoyue: And not just for looking~ If you want to touch, I wouldn’t mind either.]

"What a little tart."

Gu Qing looked at Huang Xiaoyue’s sexy swimsuit photos and couldn’t help but criticize out loud, "Once I get the Immune to Hundred Poisons attribute, if you still dare to ’run hot’ in front of me, we’ll see if I don’t fuck you till you cry."

’Hm? Wait a minute!’

’I almost forgot!’

’This junior with the twin ponytails has an insanely heaven-defying [Feces] tag floating over her head!’

’When I get back to school, I’ll ask her out for a walk and get to know her better.’

’Once our relationship feels close enough, I’ll ask her to take a dump with me every day.’

’I’ll see what kind of Attribute I can grind from her [Feces] tag after we’ve taken a dump together for a full hour.’

’Hopefully, it’s an Attribute that lets me control other people’s urge to defecate.’

Thinking of this, Gu Qing immediately replied to Huang Xiaoyue: [That swimsuit looks really cute on you, Junior. But let’s skip the beach; I’m not a big fan of the water. How about we go out to eat sometime when we’re free?]

[Huang Xiaoyue: I’m fine with anything, as long as you like it, Senior.]

[Gu Qing: Okay, then. When I get back to school, I’ll treat you to a buffet.]

’Buffets are basically all about binge eating, which produces more food waste afterward.’

’In other words, you can take a bigger dump.’

Gu Qing had already made his plan.

When he got back to school on Monday, he would ask Huang Xiaoyue out to a buffet every day to create as many opportunities as possible to take a dump with her.

With this thought in mind, Gu Qing spent the following time chatting with Huang Xiaoyue to build up their rapport, while also mindlessly scrolling through Douyin to pass the time.

As he scrolled, he came across a video that was pretty popular locally in Hai City.

The video had been posted less than two hours ago, but it had already broken ten thousand likes.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The main point was—

Gu Qing actually saw his well-behaved and sensible junior, the student-athlete Xia Shuran, in the video.

He thought he had stumbled upon Xia Shuran’s Douyin account.

But when he looked at the account name, he found it was unfamiliar; he had never seen it before.

The account name was—Jixia Martial Arts Hall.

"Jixia Martial Arts Hall?"

"Is this the martial arts hall that my junior’s family owns?"

"Mm, that must be it..."

Gu Qing muttered to himself, then stopped paying attention to the account name and curiously started watching the video to see why it was so popular.

The content of the video was simple.

It was just Xia Shuran sparring with different people.

Her opponents were:

A muscular, 1.8-meter-tall man fighting bare-handed.

A powerfully built woman wielding a long spear.

A fat man who weighed at least 330 pounds.

These three opponents all had different characteristics, but their matches with Xia Shuran all had the same result: she defeated them all in a single move.

First, she knocked down the 1.8-meter-tall muscular man with a single punch.

Then, she shattered the powerfully built woman’s long spear with a palm strike.

Finally, she kicked over the 330-pound fatty.

’My junior is seriously fierce now.’

’It seems that Ancient Martial Arts her ancestor taught her really is something special.’

’Speaking of which, which one is her ancestor?’

Gu Qing watched the video again carefully.

The screen was almost entirely filled with young people. The oldest-looking one was only in his early forties; none of them looked like an old monster who had lived for several hundred years.

He didn’t know if his junior’s ancestor was just low-key and didn’t appear on camera,

or if her ancestor was just old in age but still youthful in appearance.

In any case, there was no one in the video who looked like her ancestor.

...

「Deep within the Jixia Martial Arts Hall.」

An old man with the aura of a celestial immortal sat upright on a cattail hassock in the center of the main hall.

His loose, gray-blue Daoist robe hung around him. His full head of white hair was neatly tied up with a jade coronet, and a long, equally snow-white beard hung down to his chest. He was surrounded by an ancient aura.

With a deferential posture, Xia Shuran knelt quietly before her ancestor.

Her heart was filled with reverence.

The old man slowly raised his eyes and spoke, his deep voice heavy with the weight of several hundred years of history:

"Little Shuran, your constitution is the most outstanding among all my current descendants. Bar none."

"In my life, I have roamed the martial world, traversed thousands of mountains and ravines. With this Ancient Martial Dao, I have slaughtered dragons, suppressed baleful fiends, and quelled the Demon Fiends of chaotic times."

"Next, I will temper your fundamental bones, cleanse your meridians, and plant a Martial Seed within you."

As he finished speaking, the old man raised his hand and pressed it lightly over the crown of Xia Shuran’s head.

In the next second, wisps of True Martial Arts Dao flowed from his palm, slowly pouring into Xia Shuran’s body, coursing through her four limbs and hundred bones, and permeating all the meridians in her body.

At that moment, Xia Shuran felt all her meridians suddenly heat up, and a swelling sensation filled her head.

A massive amount of information—Profound Techniques, Ancient Secret Techniques, Supreme Divine Techniques, Qi Cultivation Techniques, the Martial Arts Origin...

was instantly branded deep within her mind, as if carved into her very Divine Soul, never to be forgotten for all eternity.

A moment later.

The True Martial Arts Dao receded, and the inheritance was complete.

The old man looked at Xia Shuran and said calmly, "The Martial Seed has been planted. From now on, you only need to calm your mind and let it settle. It will awaken naturally in as little as a few days, or as long as a few months."

Her body trembling, Xia Shuran bowed solemnly. "This junior will remember Ancestor’s teachings and will not disappoint your great expectations!"
