Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 120 A Second Visit

The result of the competition was beyond everyone's expectations, and Luo Min's unpredictable finger techniques left a deep impression on the audience.

Some entertainment reporters or agencies have already highlighted her name.

Having acted in television dramas, possessing a good image and high martial arts skills, he is highly likely to go far in the national competition.

These gimmicks have the potential to become trending topics.

Unlike these laymen, the martial artists present all narrowed their eyes and looked solemn.

Especially Wang Dalong and Cai Zhengyang.

Because even with their eyesight, they couldn't completely keep up with Luo Min's finger movements.

If you can't even see a person's movements clearly, how can you deal with her attacks?

"Her finger technique is very strong! Not only is it fast, but it's also very lethal."

Cai Zhengyang spoke with unusual seriousness.

Wang Dalong nodded, remaining silent.

"Brother Rui, what do you think of her finger technique? I have a creepy feeling about it! I'm not saying anything bad about her."

Beside them, Shen Xinzhu suddenly leaned down and whispered in Zhao Rui's ear.

"Perhaps it was too fast!"

Zhao Rui smiled, but his expression was clearly not relaxed.

Luo Min's martial arts technique pushes speed to its limit; if he were to advance to the Grandmaster level, its power would likely be even greater.

This martial arts style has a similar feel to the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from my previous life, emphasizing speed and movement.

If we analyze this based on the fact that Luo Min didn't hide his past achievements, there's also an element of quick success.

Isn't this combination a perfect example of a sword pointing at evil spirits?

This woman definitely has something going on.

Just as everyone was in a state of confusion and had many thoughts, the referee announced the result of the match.

Luo Min won first place in the provincial competition.

Wang Zhanshan was so excited that he quickly stood up and clapped, and everyone else followed suit.

The entire venue erupted in applause.

Luo Min smiled as he stepped off the stage, accepting the crowd's embrace.

Her parents and relatives had already gathered around, enjoying this moment of glory.

The entire post-match event, including the awards ceremony, lasted for most of the day before it ended.

Once everything settled down, the audience gradually dispersed. The vast training base returned to its usual quiet and deserted state.

After the match, Zhao Rui searched the training ground but couldn't find Yang Fan. When he called him, the guy said he had already left.

Zhao Rui thought it was because her boyfriend didn't like her and insisted on leaving.

This is not surprising.

So she ignored him and went to the parking lot to drive her car out, where she waited downstairs at their accommodation.

After a while, Miao Miaomiao, who had finished getting ready, walked briskly, carrying a small suitcase, and got into the car.

At the same time, the other team members followed Coach Wang downstairs.

"You bought a car? A Jeep? That's great!"

Wang Zhanshan slapped his car body hard.

"Ouch, my dear coach, take it easy, it's so expensive!"

"You're such a bear!"

As the two chatted, the other team members gathered around to admire Zhao Rui's "new" car.

Just then, Shen Xinzhu glanced at Zhao Rui's Jeep and Miao Miaomiao in the passenger seat, and asked a question.

"Brother Rui, can I ride in your car too? I don't want to take the bus!"

"Sure, why not?"

It was just a ride, so Zhao Rui naturally had no objection. After saying that, he looked at everyone and asked, "Who else wants to ride? It's definitely more comfortable than the bus."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhanshan knocked on his car window and said, "Stop showing off your car, let's go!"

Zhao Rui chuckled, started the car, and drove away from the martial arts training base.

After the car had been driving for a while, Shen Xinzhu, who was sitting in the back seat, looked around and asked casually, "Brother Rui, you said Luo Min's martial arts are so amazing, how come I've never seen her use them before?"

"This is a personal matter, it's nothing!"

Zhao Rui replied calmly. He now felt that not only Luo Min had a problem, but Shen Xinzhu definitely had one too.

"Oh, too!"

Seeing that Zhao Rui was ignoring her topic, Shen Xinzhu could only give a perfunctory smile and change the subject.

They chatted along the way, and after arriving at the school and dropping off Shen Xinzhu, Zhao Rui continued driving Miao Miaomiao away, heading towards her home.

Is something on your mind?

Miao Miaomiao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is it about Luo Min?"

Zhao Rui nodded and then recounted Qin Rui's story.

Miao Miaomiao was stunned; she never expected such a thing to happen.

He immediately frowned and said, "You think Luo Min might also...?"

“There is a high probability! But I see that her eyes are clear and her behavior is normal. She doesn’t seem to have been attacked from the shadows. It’s more likely that she learned the other party’s martial arts.”

If the person who used the underhanded tactic was someone of the old devil's caliber, given Luo Min's talent and character, it's highly likely that he learned his martial arts.

"Well, should we tell Coach Wang about this?"

“Telling him won’t help. Everyone who can advance to the martial arts competition has some unique skills. There’s nothing wrong with learning powerful martial arts.”

"I just wanted to remind you to keep your distance from Luo Min."

"Don't worry, my Enchanting Immortal Technique is already fully mastered, I'll be fine."

"Don't be careless!"

Zhao Rui patiently gave her a few more instructions; he was quite at ease with Miao Miaomiao.

Firstly, his father is a veteran master at the Grandmaster level, so there's absolutely no problem with his safety.

Secondly, she had already mastered the Enchanting Immortal Technique, which was remarkably effective in suppressing certain soul-binding techniques.

He himself verified this.

Safe and secure.

Just a heads-up, just in case.

After driving for a while, the car arrived at Miao Miaomiao's apartment building.

"Would you like to go up and sit down?"

Miao Miaomiao looked at Zhao Rui with a smile in her eyes.

"Go up?"

Zhao Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Ok!"

Miao Miaomiao nodded.

"Let's go buy some food, and I'll have a drink with my uncle!"

Zhao Rui chuckled and waved to her.

Miao Miaomiao pouted and said speechlessly, "You did this so you could drink with my dad! Humph!"

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Zhao Rui chuckled, got her into the passenger seat, and sped out of the residential area.

About an hour later, the two returned home laden with their purchases, carrying large and small bags, and went upstairs.

"Hello Auntie!"

The person who opened the door was Miao's mother. It was the second time Zhao Rui had seen her, and he was still amazed by her beauty.

To be this young and beautiful at this age is probably every woman's dream.

Thinking of his mother's face, marked by the passage of time, Zhao Rui secretly decided to earn more money so he could take her for a beauty treatment later.

"Welcome, Xiao Zhao."

"Why did you bring anything to Auntie's house? Please come in and have a seat."

"A little fruit."

Zhao Rui smiled and didn't stand on ceremony; it wasn't his first time visiting.

"Mom, is Dad off work yet?"

Miao Miaomiao peeked into the kitchen and asked.

"He's back now. I told him."

Miao's mother poured Zhao Rui a glass of water, then went back into the kitchen to cook.

"Where does your uncle work?"

Zhao Rui asked Miao Miaomiao curiously.

"He works at the provincial martial arts association."

Miao Miaomiao said casually.

"Oh!"

Zhao Rui suddenly realized that Miao's father must have a fairly high status.

"Do you think I look like my mom?" Miao Miaomiao asked playfully after handing Zhao Rui a slice of watermelon.

"It looks like it!"

"Then tell me, who's prettier, the two of us?"

"Forehead!"

Zhao Rui was stunned. What kind of question is that? That's going too far!
"You're forty years old, but you're prettier than your auntie!"

"Hmph, sophistry!"

Miao Miaomiao rolled her eyes, clearly dissatisfied with Zhao Rui's answer.

"You haven't reflected on your match yet! You clearly had a chance to win, how did you lose? Is Thousand Illusions just for show?"

Fearing she might ask something inappropriate, Zhao Rui quickly changed the subject.

"I don't want to use this trick in front of so many people!"

Miao Miaomiao blushed and said somewhat reluctantly.

"Forehead!"

Zhao Rui was surprised by this outcome and was both amused and exasperated. This move, Thousand Illusions and Phantoms, is one of the Six Illusions in the Six Illusions of the Enchanting Immortal Technique, which emphasizes the use of sleeves to draw out emotions and eyes to capture the seven emotions.

In the eyes of the one who is in the middle, the spellcaster manifests various alluring illusions, which are extremely intimidating to the soul.

However, this move also requires the use of alluring dance steps, which is quite similar to the seductive charm of a fox spirit. If Miao Miaomiao were to suddenly use it in public, it would indeed be a bit awkward.

"Okay, aren't there other moves?"

"I was distracted!"

"..."

Just as Zhao Rui reached out to tap her head, the door creaked open from the outside.

Miao's father squinted and looked over, just in time to see this scene.

"How about I excuse myself?"

As he spoke, Miao's father made a gesture as if to retreat.

"dad!"

Miao Miaomiao blushed and said with dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Miao's father smiled and pushed open the door to enter.

Zhao Rui quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Sit down, don't be shy at home. The competition must have been tough, right? Miaomiao didn't tell us about it."

Miao's father smiled and glanced at his daughter. Since the start of the martial arts competition, Miao Miao had refused to reveal her progress in the competition.

The main point is to keep it a secret.

"However, I believe in your daughter. What place did she get?"

Miao's father smiled.

"You never guessed I won first place!"

"You lack presence!"

"Hmph... Twenty-eighth place!"

"Not bad, your name is pretty high up in the list. Keep up the good work in the national competition."

Mr. Miao nodded dismissively, then looked at Zhao Rui and asked, "Little Zhao, what about you? You should be better than Miao Miao, you should be in the top ten, right?"

"Um, I didn't participate!"

Zhao Rui scratched his head and said.

Miao's father was taken aback. Before he could ask any more questions, Miao Miaomiao said with a hint of pride, "Zhao Rui has already advanced to the Grandmaster realm."

"Grandmaster?"

Miao's father was taken aback, then suddenly reached out and slapped Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui bent his arm to block, and then followed up with a backhand diagonal strike, aiming at a vital point on his arm.

The two exchanged blows, constantly changing their moves, and simultaneously rose to their feet, moving towards the wide open space near the doorway while still fighting.

"Dad, Zhao Rui, what are you doing?!"

Miao Miaomiao said anxiously from the side, her voice startling her mother, who was still in the kitchen, out of the kitchen.

He was taken aback when he saw the two of them fighting, but he calmed down after a moment and comforted his daughter, saying, "It's okay, it's okay! Your dad knows what he's doing."

Miao Miaomiao shook her head vigorously and said, "I'm afraid Zhao Rui won't know his limits."

"..."

"As expected of a daughter, she's drawn to the outside world. Your dad isn't old yet!"

After saying this, Miao's father exhaled his true energy and struck out with his palm, exchanging a blow with Zhao Rui before retreating.

"Good boy!"

"Uncle, you're still a step ahead. My arm is still sore!"

"Pure internal energy, the foundation of the Taoist Seven Star Divine Skill, not bad, not bad!"

Miao's father smiled and sat back down in his seat.

"Dad, could you please tell me in advance next time?"

Miao Miaomiao said with dissatisfaction.

"understood!"

"Uncle, why did you suddenly probe my background just now? Has something happened recently?"

Zhao Rui's heart stirred, and he asked aloud.

"We'll talk about that later! Let's eat first! I really didn't expect you to improve so quickly!"

Mr. Miao said with a smile that although his daughter had a boy she liked, she was somewhat depressed.

But Zhao Rui is so outstanding, it's better than finding some good-for-nothing blond guy!

If all four members of the family become grandmasters, it will be a wonderful story!
Before long, Miao's mother brought the food to the table; it was a very sumptuous meal.

Today was supposed to be the day Miao Miaomiao returned home after a long absence, not to mention Zhao Rui's visit.

The huge dining table was almost completely filled.

"We're happy today, let's have some baijiu!"

Mr. Miao rummaged through the bottom of the wine cabinet behind him for a while and took out two bottles of wine that looked like treasured collectibles.

"A 20-year-old vintage, aged 10 years ago! Miaomiao wasn't even born then!"

Seeing this, Zhao Rui quickly took the wine bottle and poured him a full glass.

"Pour some for your aunt too. She cooked all these dishes; she deserves the most credit! Thank you, my wife!"

Mr. Miao pointed to his wife's wine glass and said with a smile.

"Just your sweet mouth!"

Miao's mother glared at him reproachfully.

"Mom and Dad! Can you please show your affection in private a little longer!"

Miao Miaomiao glanced at Zhao Rui somewhat embarrassedly.

His own father really didn't treat Zhao Rui like a guest.

They're not in that kind of relationship yet!

"It's okay, your uncle and aunt are setting a good example for us younger generation! Right, Miaomiao!"

Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, a warm smile on his face.

"Haha, Zhao Rui is right! In a relationship, it's not about who loves whom, but about caring for each other and understanding each other's hardships..."

"Don't embarrass yourself! Let's drink!"

"Yep!"

Upon hearing this, Miao's father quickly offered a toast, and the four of them raised their cups together to eat and drink.

After drinking for a while, Miao's father said, "Recently, the higher-ups issued a document saying that some people are engaging in shady practices, which seem to be related to the Holy Lotus Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Miaomiao exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Rui just reminded me to be careful of strange people!"

"Zhao Rui? You know people in the relevant departments?"

Miao's father looked at Zhao Rui and asked.

"I acted bravely before..."

Zhao Rui recounted the pursuit of Nie Bin, which was not a secret.

"Oh, no wonder! These are troublesome times! I don't know what these people are thinking. Why not just enjoy a peaceful life instead of causing all this chaos?"

Miao's father shook his head and said.

The world has been at peace for a long time, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. But there are always some people who are not content with the status quo and try to stir up trouble.

As a martial arts association of a province, it not only manages registered martial artists, but also collaborates with various government organizations to maintain political stability.

It's been so many years since we've had any of this messy stuff.

Seeing that Miao's father didn't seem to know about the old demon, Zhao Rui didn't say anything more. This kind of thing probably couldn't be solved by just a Grandmaster.

"Let's not talk about that. Since you've embarked on the path of martial arts, a life without any excitement or waves is rather lonely. If you could experience a more exciting and magnificent life, then your journey of martial arts training would not have been in vain!"

"Come on, drink!"

Night had fallen, and I was slightly tipsy!
Zhao Rui stayed at Miao Miaomiao's house until 10 p.m. before driving back to his residence.
