"Are you sure that the Vigorous Fist usually takes a month or two to train for most people?"
Su Yue took off his gloves, still a bit in disbelief.
"Iād be a fool to lie to you.
"Do you think the whole world is full of geniuses like you?"
Flower Bear was frustrated.
Youāre actually mocking us.
Sure enough, all geniuses have the same annoying habit of playing the fool.
"By the way, thereās something I wanted to ask you."
After a while, Su Yue suddenly asked.
"Master Suās orders are my command. Iām the Bai Xiaosheng of the martial arts world."
Flower Bear patted his chest, forgetting his injury, almost coughed up blood again.
"Have you heard of the āWithered Stepsā? Itās also a combat technique, allowing one to step on leaves in the air, performing a second jump."
Su Yue asked.
"Withered Steps?
"Oh my gosh, I know it too well.
"Did you know, that technique is incredibly cool? In our Martial Arts Academy B, only one third-grade teacher can perform it even once.
"With this skill, that teacher charmed so many female teachers, and many students canāt forget his elegance in the air.
"Withered Steps... so cool, but itās just too difficult, many third-grade teachers tried to practice it but failed."
Speaking of Withered Steps, Flower Bear slapped his leg in excitement.
Crack.
Su Yue clenched his fist tightly.
He recalled Xu Baiyanās grim face in his mind.
Cursing you with a face full of acne.
Withered Steps.
A Sealed Martial Artist can easily learn it.
You speak of it so lightly, youāre just messing with me.
"Also, have you heard of the āQuality Blade Techniqueā?"
Su Yue gritted his teeth and continued to ask.
"Wow, Master Su, at such a young age, you know quite a lot.
"This Quality Blade Technique has an even more epic background, just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
"In the Wet Realm back then, there was a fourth-grade senior, wielding a large blade, who charged back and forth in enemy lines, leaving bodies everywhere. He relied on the Quality Blade Technique.
"Donāt let the name fool you, in the Wet Realm, itās something the enemy feared greatly.
"Everyone wanted to practice this technique, but everyone failed. I donāt even have the qualification to access it."
Flower Bearās face was full of admiration.
"Master Su, the two combat techniques you mentioned, the geniuses from the four major martial academies are reportedly very eager to train in them, especially the Quality Blade Technique, but even geniuses mostly fail.
"If you get the chance, you can get acquainted early. Although itās impossible to learn before the second grade, getting to know it early wouldnāt hurt."
Flower Bear added another sentence.
Su Yue was so angry he almost fainted from a heartache.
...
Under the night sky, Su Yue lay on a bench, looking up at the desolate moon.
The heavens can be measured, the earth can be gauged, only the human heart is unfathomable.
Xu Baiyan.
I treated you like my sister, yet you set me up like this.
As a single woman of age, itās about time I helped you find a boyfriend.
I will use the frightening position of a brother-in-law to ensure your love life in the latter half of your life... never to know peace.
Never to know peace!
"Master Su, are you okay? Your eyes are sparkling."
Flower Bear swallowed.
At this moment, Su Yue gave an impression of about to go berserk.
"Nothing, just remembered something personal.
"Old Bear, do you believe there really are geniuses in the world?"
Suddenly, Su Yue let out a sigh of invincibility.
"Of course I believe."
Flower Bear nodded.
"Do you believe?
"Thereās a peerless genius who, even without being a Sealed Martial Artist, can perform the first step of Withered Steps."
Su Yue asked again.
He felt the urge to boast a bit, or he might suffocate from holding it in.
"Ha ha, Master Su, I didnāt see it, but youāre quite humorous.
"In all the years of high school examinations in the Divine Land, Iāve never heard of a high school student successfully doing Withered Steps."
Flower Bear waved his hand dismissively.
At this time, Su Yue slowly stood up and casually picked up a leaf.
Not withered, still the kind of vibrant green.
"Next, your worldview might be shattered.
"Remember, just keep it to yourself, keep it a secret for me, I donāt want any media interviews."
Su Yue pinched the leaf between two fingers, looking up at the night sky, his eyes deeper than the universe.
Night as dark as ink.
The moonlight glimmered like the Milky Way.
This is the perfect time to show off, no need for modesty.
Flower Bear frowned.
What is Su Yue doing with the leaf?
Killing with a leaf?
This is at the Grandmaster level.
Watched too many TV dramas?
Flap flap.
Just then, a hapless plump bird flew by.
Step.
Bam!
The soft ground was instantly stomped into a mud pit by Su Yue.
His body shot straight up towards the sky like an arrow.
meters!
meters!
meters!
Easily over 10 meters.
meters is a threshold. In Su Yueās understanding, the maximum limit for a single jump for a regular martial artist is 10 meters, and then the secondary jump is required.
Maybe martial artists above third grade can easily exceed 10 meters.
Seeing Su Yueās body jumping so high, Flower Bearās expression froze, like he was dazed.
Did I just see a ghost?
A high schooler not even a Sealed Martial Artist jumped that high, definitely over 10 meters.
To think that Flower Bear himself can only jump 4 meters, and heās a Sealed Martial Artist.
Really saw a ghost.
Does this world still have any rules!
However, the next moment was when Flower Bearās common sense and worldview truly shattered.
Snap!
A strange yet familiar sound.
Flower Bear had a dream-like flashback to witnessing the divine teacher gifting flowers to female teachers while stepping on leaves during college.
"Withered Steps?
"A step?
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Am I dreaming?"
Flower Bearās throat was burning, and he couldnāt breathe for a moment.
No doubt, Su Yueās falling body jumped up again like a double jump firecracker.
Like a ghost, like a specter.
Boom!
Finally, someone in the sky plummeted straight to the ground from 20 meters high, making even the nearby trees tremble slightly.
Flower Bear stiffly turned his head with difficulty.
Su Yue.
He was clutching a plump bird, maintaining a kneeling landing posture.
Undeniably, insanely cool.
Su Yue was also grateful.
After practicing landings for so long, he finally succeeded perfectly.
If he fell face-up, all his preparations would have been wasted, and the plump bird in his hand was just the finishing touch.
"Uncle Su, was that Withered Steps... real?"
Flower Bear patted his forehead, as if his brain had frozen.
"Believe your own eyes."
Su Yue stood up and lightly patted the dust off his clothes.
It was indeed Withered Steps.
A high schooler not even a Sealed Martial Artist could actually train in Withered Steps.
Flower Bearās knees were a bit weak.
"Master Su, when you become successful in the future, donāt forget, thereās a big brother at the fight club.
"When you become a Governor of a province, Iām willing to be a small superintendent, serving you diligently."
Flower Bear stood to attention and bowed deeply.
With Su Yueās talent, if he can stay alive, he is destined to reach the position of Governor in the future.
Grandmaster material.
"The future is too far, letās focus on the present. Hereās the bird for you.
"And remember, keep it a secret, I donāt want to be any girl idol, ruining the country and the people."
Su Yue looked profoundly at the moon, then handed the plump bird to Flower Bear.
"Master Su, are you releasing it?"
Flower Bear asked.
"Old Zhao probably hasnāt finished work yet. Wash it up and roast it, messing around made me hungry again."
Su Yue clasped his hands behind his back.
Turns out Iām not dumb, still a genius.
Su Yue felt bloated with pride, he should strut around with that kind of haughty gait but just couldnāt find the vibe.
"Innocent disaster, itās just a poor lost bird, indeed... so plump, sprinkle some cumin, roast and eat it."
Flower Bear carried the plump bird, following behind Su Yue.
