Chapter 105 Tao Pai Pai Arrives! (44)

"Jingle Bell"

"Snapped"

"Whoosh-!"

The two figures kept crisscrossing in the air, one dodging with all his might, the other chasing with all his might.

A gust of wind blew, causing Li Xia to land slightly off-center, landing right on the edge of the fence.

A glint of light flashed in the cat's round eyes.

"Chance!"

The obese body, moving with a speed completely disproportionate to its size, transformed into a streak of white light and rushed towards Li Xia.

While still in mid-air, five sharp claws sprang out from the plump, paw-shaped paw of the cat, whistling as it lashed out at Li Xia's waist.

The claws passed right through his body without hesitation, and Li Xia, with a look of astonishment on his face, swayed a couple of times before slowly dissipating.

The cat sage's heart sank. "Afterimage Fist!"
With a nimble flip, his strong hind legs landed on the stone pillar, but Li Xia had appeared behind him without his noticing, reaching for the back of his neck with one hand.

That was his absolute Achilles' heel—the back of fate's neck!
Li Xia's hand also missed its target, and the cat sage in front of him shattered like ripples on water. It was also an afterimage fist!
"caught you!"

The cat hermit stepped onto the ceiling and used the recoil to grab at Li Xia's head, but missed again.

Secondary afterimage? !
"whoosh whoosh"

The sound of rapid air being torn apart echoed continuously in the square of Kalinta, and in the blink of an eye, one afterimage after another appeared in the small square.

There are images of cat immortals and Li Xia, and these afterimages are all in different poses and are very lifelike.

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to tell that it's a phantom.

"Oh!"

The elbow braced against the cat's paw, and a shockwave spread from the point of impact, causing the surrounding afterimages to ripple before dissipating completely.

Li Xia took a half step back, shook his hand, and revealed several deep scratches on his bare upper body.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Time to cook!"

"I want canned tuna, crab meat, krill, and fish roe!"

The cat fairy, who was having a great time, was still a little unhappy, but when he heard about cooking, he immediately threw his unhappiness to the back of his mind and started shouting excitedly.

Even its cat ears were twitching incessantly.

"Row!"

Li Xia brought the steel pot downstairs. Kalinta couldn't cook properly, so he could only eat stewed or boiled foods, such as curry. But this was still better than eating dry rations.

Fresh ingredients were taken out from the space, the cold light of the cleaver flashed by, and then there was a dense sound of chopping vegetables, like a storm.

The materials had already been cut into perfectly neat cubes, and the cat sage couldn't wait to lift the bottle of super holy water and pour it in.

After a few days, the cat immortal also discovered that this kid probably already knew the secret of the super holy water, so he stopped hiding it and would take a sip from the water bottle whenever he was thirsty.

I must say, it tastes pretty good with effervescent tablets added.

The ingredients were put in, a steamer was placed on top, and cat food cans were placed on top.

Then Li Xia placed his hands on both sides of the steel pot and circulated his true qi, and soon the pot began to boil.

This was a method taught by the Cat Sage. Kalin Tower is located 10,000 meters above the ground, where the air is thin, the pressure is low, and the boiling point of water is also low.

Conventional cooking methods are completely ineffective, but by using 'gas', not only can food be heated, but it can also be artificially pressurized, which is very convenient.

Soon, the fragrant and steaming hot food was ready.

The cat hermit brought over a small table, and the two sat on either side of it, enjoying their post-training meal.

While magic beans are good, nothing beats the aroma of canned tuna, crab meat, krill, and fish roe.

"By the way, Xia, you've been here for a week now, haven't you?"

Li Xia poured the stew over the rice and nodded, "Mm." He had a very fulfilling week, and every morning he would get up and practice standing meditation and breathing exercises to greet the sunrise.

Then he practiced all the routines he was familiar with to solidify his basic skills. At first, he practiced by himself, but later the cat sage also practiced with him.

However, his physical structure is different from that of humans, so he can only learn a rough outline in a vague way.

After mastering the basics, it's time for breakfast. We share breakfast with the cat sage, then rest for half an hour to relax and have some fun.

It was around 8 o'clock at this time.

Spend another three hours playing a chase game with the cat sage, which mainly focuses on practicing movement and dexterity.

At 11 o'clock, I took a half-hour break and reviewed the situation with the cat fairy to find areas for improvement.

At noon, I shared lunch with the cat sage again, and then took a one-hour nap (the cat sage was in charge of washing the dishes).

After getting up, go through the routine again to warm up. Once your body is warmed up, it's time for the actual sparring.

Originally, the cat immortal was worried that Li Xia was too badly injured, but as they fought, he found that this kid had thick skin and flesh, and his claws could scratch sparks off the skin even without adding any air!
Only luck can barely break through the defense!
After the practical exercise, it was time for dinner. After dinner, it was time for debriefing and discussing the problems that occurred during the practical exercise.

Evenings are the time for Zhou Tian to quiet his mind (the cat sage is still in charge of washing the dishes).

Now, Li Xia no longer regards the Zhou Tian (a system of energy cultivation) as a means of recovery and healing, but as a form of spiritual cultivation.

Relax your tense mind, use stillness to seek out the subtle movement within, and try to reach a higher spiritual realm.

And so, the day comes to an end.

This week has been incredibly fulfilling. The positive feedback of continuous improvement every day is addictive, even somewhat intoxicating.

His physical attributes on paper haven't actually improved. His physique has reached a certain limit, making it difficult to improve his attributes through simple training.

The attribute points in the hall essentially strengthen the body's cells, so theoretically, the body can only continue to become stronger through attribute points.

However, his overall strength is definitely much stronger than before. All things considered, Li Xia has only been in the space for a few months.

Even though I haven't stopped for the past few months, the rapid improvement in my physical condition has undoubtedly caused a disconnect.

This week is a crucial time for reflection and digestion; in a sense, he has become more 'substantial'.

This positive feedback that improves every day is irresistible, and can even be quite addictive.

Li Xia almost forgot why she came here.

"Your strength is already sufficient to obtain the Super Holy Water, so you should have passed the test by now."

The cat twitched its whiskers and licked the canned food stuck to its nose:
"Are you planning to stay here and cultivate indefinitely?"

You are still young, you should travel more and see the world. It will be good for your martial arts. Wait until you feel lost and can't find your way forward.

Why not come back to Kalinta, try to calm yourself down, reflect on the path you've walked, the life you've experienced, and find your own path?

Li Xia listened attentively. The cat fairy was truly thinking of him. Even though its life had undergone tremendous changes during this time, it would return to that desolate life once he left.

I'm still earnestly advising myself.

Judging by the time, Tao Pai Pai should be arriving soon, right?
Just as Li Xia was about to speak, she suddenly saw the Cat Sage abruptly turn to the side, his expression somewhat serious.

"Oh no, why is he here?"

"Who?"

"Crane School - The World's Number One Assassin"

The cat sage stood up and walked to the railing, uttering the name Li Xia had been waiting for:
"Peach White!"
