This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 68 A little show of skill
"Senior, there's a river and a boat. If we're heading in the right direction, can we take the water route?"

Someone couldn't help but ask this, and then seemed to think of something and quickly added.

"It's not that I'm slacking off on my training. I just need to find a place to clean myself up. I've been itching a lot these past couple of days."

"Senior, I feel a little itchy too."

Zhuang Lin looked at the people around him, smiled and nodded. They were indeed in a bit of a mess.

The main reason was that Zhuang Lin wanted the four of them to get started as soon as possible, so he was a little harsh on them. But if you think about it carefully, maybe the people he was comparing them to were not normal.

It seems inappropriate for Zhuang Lin to compare the martial arts progress of the four people by lowering his own and his eldest disciple Liu Hongyu's cultivation to a few levels lower.

"It's true that Zhuang was inconsiderate. Let's put it this way. There seems to be some people living near the shallows ahead. You guys should go clean up first, and then we'll go over there and spend some money to buy a proper meal!"

"Oh good!" "That's great!"

"Where are we going to wash?" "Are you stupid? Isn't there water down there?"

The four of them were all excited. They had been inactive for the past two days. They had hunted wild animals twice, but they had consumed too much in the previous trip and were actually out of salt.
There are delicious foods as long as you can enter the village. As for money, several people still have some on them!

"Then let's find a way down quickly, shall we?"

When Yang Tianlei made this suggestion, Zhuang Lin on the side suddenly laughed.

"Still need to find a way? I'll wait until the water below the cliff is deep enough, then I can jump in and swim to the waterfall!"

"Jump?"

Lu Cheng on the side swallowed his saliva and looked at the water below. The height of more than ten feet made people's heart beat faster, but the others on the side were already eager to try.

"Okay, since the senior said so, then it's certainly not wrong!"

"Yes, I'll go first!"

Yang Tianlei laughed as he spoke, and he actually jumped directly from the tree with his feet. As the tree swayed slightly, he jumped from the small cliff to the water.

"Yang Tianlei is here, hahahahaha——"

The closer he got to the water surface, the louder Yang Tianlei's screams became. At the same time, his body subconsciously made defensive moves, circulating his internal energy, and leaping sideways to kick towards the water.

"bang"

The kick was so powerful that it splashed a lot of water, but Yang Tianlei's laughter continued to be heard.

This area of water connects to the Han River and can directly reach the big city of Xiangyang. In the distance, there is a medium-sized ship on the river, and many people on it are enjoying the scenery.

When Yang Tianlei jumped down with a strange cry, the people on the boat were also attracted by the sound. They saw someone jumping down from a height of more than ten feet, which made everyone on the boat nervous.

When Yang Tianlei kicked out and splashed water, someone on the boat exclaimed.

"Good work!"

Meanwhile, in the tree above the cliff, Zhuang Lin groaned inwardly. His moves were decent and impressive, but if he were to rate this splash, he'd give it a maximum of two points: one for participation and one for friendship. No more.
Lu Jing, who was beside Zhuang Lin, was already eager to try. Since Yang Tianlei had already taken the lead, he certainly didn't want to be left behind, so he jumped immediately.

"Brother Tianlei, Lu is here—"

While still in the air, Lu Jing was already howling, and unconsciously resorting to a fierce roar. Although it was far from being a significant achievement, the roar was already loud and long, echoing far along the river and between the cliffs.
The moment he fell towards the water, Lu Jing turned upside down and suddenly punched the water.

The bull is so strong!

"Bam—"

The water splashed up, and instead of flying around, it rose three feet high!
"Hahahahahaha, so satisfying, so satisfying—"

Lu Jing slapped the water and swam towards Yang Tianlei over there.

Zhuang Lin nodded slightly. This deserves five points!
On the boat in the distance, those people were shocked again. They were several martial artists of different ages, and there were several well-dressed people around them. They should be of high status.

"What a long howl, echoing through the mountains and fields, what a powerful energy, what a skill, did you jump off a cliff?"

"Uncle Li, are these two very powerful in martial arts?"

"Young Master, although I don't know the details yet, just by jumping off the cliff, you are clearly very brave. And that long roar shows that you must have achieved a certain level of internal strength. In terms of martial arts, you are at least a master!"

"There are still people on the cliff!"

A martial artist with good eyesight nearby asked this question, and the others also looked in that direction. Indeed, they could vaguely see someone standing or hanging on the tree on the cliff.

Inspired by the two people in front, Lu Cheng and He Yuchen also jumped down, whistling and attacking the water surface with force, splashing two waves of water.
The four of them were splashing and laughing in the water below. Their clothes were a burden in the water, but they didn't feel tired at all.

"Senior——please come down as well——" "Yes, Senior——"

"The water is not cold—"

After spending some time together, the four of them respected Zhuang Lin, but they also understood that he was actually very easy-going and could occasionally joke with him. Now was the time to have some fun.

On the cliff, Zhuang Lin, with a smile on his face, thought for a moment and decided to show off his martial arts skills to the four guys who had recently become arrogant. This would prevent them from getting carried away by the slightest progress in their martial arts.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin glanced at the boats leaving on the water in the distance, not caring at all. He took off the bookcase on his back and suddenly threw it to the side.

The moment the bookcase flew out with a roar, Zhuang Lin, holding the wooden sword, spread his arms and jumped straight down into the water.

The four people below watched Zhuang Lin descending in a celestial posture, and had already agreed to use water to hit their senior together.

But when Zhuang Lin fell, he suddenly put one hand behind his back and wielded the sword with the other hand, and the wooden sword Chi Xuan stabbed directly into the water.

"Wow~"

Before the four of them could splash out, they saw that Zhuang Lin had not fallen into the water at all. The tip of his sword only stirred up a few ripples on the surface of the river. Then he took off into the air again like a swallow touching the water. He lightly stepped on the waves on the water with his feet twice, spread his flowing sleeves, and landed on the shallows on the shore like a fly.

The next moment, Zhuang Lin landed firmly on the shore with both feet. He stretched out his left hand and caught the falling bookcase.
The four people in the water were stunned. They never expected this to happen. At the same time, they were extremely shocked. Could this really be a divine trick?

Zhuang Lin looked at the four people in the water, their faces blank, and felt very satisfied. But what he didn't know was that the four people hadn't thought about martial arts at all.
On the boat in the distance on the river, the young man clapped his hands excitedly.

"Wow, that guy is so amazing! He didn't fall into the water, but seemed to float to the shore. Uncle Li, how is his martial arts, Uncle Li?"

The young man shouted a few times but got no response. He turned around and saw that several martial artists around him were all staring blankly with their eyes wide open.

The older Mr. Li took a while to speak with a noticeable tremor in his voice.

"Treading on the water, crossing the wind"

And this fell from a height of more than ten feet.
"I, I wasn't dazzled just now, was I?" "Unless everyone is dazzled."

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, what's going on? Is that guy very good at martial arts?"

The young master was still asking, and the older martial artist hurriedly answered, but his voice still couldn't hide the surprise.

"Young Master, this is more than amazing. I have been practicing martial arts since I was young, for over forty years now. I have seen countless martial artists, but it is rare for someone to reach this level..."

He wanted to say the number of palms, but when he thought about the man who just fell from a height of more than ten feet to the water, Uncle Li immediately changed his words.

"I've personally witnessed only one person who has reached this level of lightness, capable of lifting heavy objects with ease! This person's martial arts prowess is so high that it can't be explained away!"

Having said that, Uncle Li quickly opened his mouth to make a request.

"Young Master, if possible, I would like to go over and meet this great master. If I miss this opportunity, I may not have the chance to meet him again!"

"Of course you can. By the way, Uncle Li, can you recruit him?"

Upon hearing the young master's agreement, Uncle Li showed a look of joy, but after hearing the following words, he and several martial artists around him all smiled bitterly. The young man frowned slightly as he watched this scene.

"what happened?"

"Young Master, you don't know that it's very difficult to recruit someone with martial arts skills at this level!"

"It's difficult, but not impossible, right? Show respect to the wise and offer generous benefits. And since everyone has weaknesses, winning their hearts is the best way to win!"

As he spoke, the young man leaned over the railing and shouted to the lower deck.

"Quick, tell the helmsman to turn around and return to the bay we were just in—"

"Here——"

Hearing the shouts from below, the young man smiled and looked around, only to see that Uncle Li's face was not very good, and he said solemnly.

"Young Master, if you meet that master later, be careful not to boast about your noble status. However, people with such martial arts skills often disregard the law. He may be wary of your status, but if he really gets angry and wants to kill you, we may not be able to save you even if we fight to the death!"

The young man was slightly stunned, and some of the female servants behind him were also worried.

"Even with the whole ship, including the crossbowmen, it's impossible?"

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people around him, then recalled the incredible lightness skill he had just displayed, and still shook his head.

"I'm afraid it won't work! If this person attacks, his movements will be so fast that even the crossbowmen won't be able to see clearly."

Uncle Li had said it very tactfully, and he had taken into account the safety of the young master and the self-esteem of his colleagues. However, it was obvious that his colleagues were also very broad-minded and did not feel insulted at all.
But after hearing this, the young man's face became even more excited.

"Okay, okay, so you're really that powerful? Hurry up, sail faster—"

"Young Master!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Li. I'm not someone who doesn't know my limits. I know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I'll just be a spectator for a while and won't get off the boat!"

Uncle Li, the group of warriors beside him, and the female attendants who were responsible for serving the young man behind him all breathed a sigh of relief.
-
At the bend of the river, Zhuang Lin stood on the shore and watched four people in the water swimming towards him while playing. At this moment, they just scrubbed themselves briefly and went up to the waterfall on one side to rinse.

But at this moment, Zhuang Lin suddenly looked up at one end of the river. The big ship that had already sailed away was actually turning around. He felt a slight movement in his heart.

Are you coming this way?
