Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

In that instant, it seemed as if you suddenly remembered that the woman before you was not an ordinary patient!

She is the apple of the Yan family's eye, she is a master ranked eleventh on the list of heroes, and she is also a constable!

However, you quickly recovered and smiled slightly: "Didn't I say before that I greatly admire martial arts and the martial world?"

Yan Jinghong didn't speak again, but simply looked at you calmly, then smiled smugly.

"The martial arts world is nothing special; it's all fighting and killing, incredibly boring."

You breathed a sigh of relief, then forced a smile and said, "I thought you were going to say, 'There's nothing good about the martial world, except for the wine.'" (You choose to speak)

Yan Jinghong was taken aback again, then burst into laughter, completely disregarding any semblance of aristocratic decorum.

[System Notification: Yan Jinghong's favorability towards you +10, current favorability: 35 (Instant Favor)]

"Young Master Chen, where did you read this storybook? But this line is really catchy, I like it, hahaha!"

The wine in this world is indeed quite good! However, even the best wine depends on who you're drinking it with. Young Master Chen, after some time, you and I can share a drink based on this very statement!

You looked at Yan Jinghong, who was inexplicably excited, and nodded in agreement, but inwardly you were already starting to regret your decision.

[This woman doesn't seem like just a pretty face using the Yan family's name. If I spend more time with her, will she actually see through me?]

However, before you could think further, Yan Jinghong suppressed her smile, straightened her face, took another piece of candied fruit from the bag beside her, popped it into her mouth, and then said:

"However, Young Master Chen, I'm not joking with you. You know why I've come here. Although the incident at Chixia Village is rare in the martial arts world, it does happen eventually!"

Martial arts can be used by some to eliminate evil and protect the righteous, or by helping those in need. However, some people use martial arts to commit evil deeds, arbitrarily deciding life and death, which is extremely dangerous. If you don't have any real skills, it's best not to wander around the martial world.

The city of Jinling is far from peaceful these days. The entire Jiangdong and Jiangnan region is bustling with activity because the Canal Gang is holding a 'Hundred Boats Racing Ceremony,' attracting many martial arts enthusiasts eager to watch the spectacle. Be careful, lest you lose your life."

You nodded seriously, knowing that Yan Jinghong was right.

This world is indeed quite dangerous.

【This is also why you haven't been to the city center of Jinling lately. You can see that from your adventure at the Shattered Star Tower. Even the Tang family from Shu passed through Jinling, so you can imagine.】

[While chatting with Yan Jinghong, you kept an eye on the time. Finally, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn was up, you removed the silver needles.]

Yan Jinghong stood up, paced back and forth, then looked at you with delight: "Young Master Chen, your medical skills... I now believe what your master said was true. Perhaps you really are a once-in-a-century genius."

[System Notification: Yan Jinghong's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points. Current favorability: 40 (Confidante)]

At this point, Yan Jinghong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Young Master Chen, since you want to travel the martial world, would you like to join the Six Doors?"

[Six Doors, you paused slightly, recalling Yan Jinghong's extraordinary encounter, and a thought stirred within you.]

What is the most powerful thing in this world?

Those so-called centuries-old sects and millennia-old families are not actually the strongest. The strongest will always be the Great Qian Dynasty, standing tall in the capital, ruling over all lands!

How many powerful martial arts techniques are contained within?

Faced with Yan Jinghong's question, you decide...

Faced with the choices before him, Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment.

It must be said that Six Doors is indeed very attractive. However, there is still one major obstacle!

free!

Even someone as powerful and influential as Yan Jinghong was ultimately acting under orders and assignments in this Jiangdong region.

Chen Xuan had no intention of staying in Jinling or Jiangdong for the rest of his life, so whether it was a sect or anything else, they were all too restrictive for him.

He possesses a destiny that defies the heavens; he can climb high mountains, swim in deep seas, travel overseas, venture to the northern frontier, and explore the western regions.

He can go and see famous mountains and rivers, see the undercurrents of waves, see thousands of miles of ice, and see the vastness of the desert!

He should explore the hidden opportunities and adventures in various places; there is no need for him to restrict or limit himself!

Just as when he entered the path of martial arts, what he sought was not obsession, not protection, not power; what he sought was the end of the path of martial arts, and a lifetime of carefree living.

[You made your choice after only a slight hesitation!] (Option 3)

Yes, the youthful world of martial arts is filled with white horses, silver ingots, and a thousand cups of wine.

You shook your head: "I'm sorry, Officer Yan, I'm used to being lazy, so working in the government is really not suitable for me..."

Yan Jinghong wasn't disappointed. After all, she had only mentioned it casually and had seen through your intentions. She smiled slightly.

"Alright, I won't force you. However, the martial world is dangerous. If you don't mind, I can teach you a life-saving skill..."

[Is this a reward for triggering a special encounter by increasing favorability with the Six Doors?]

You instinctively wanted to agree, but then you remembered the persona you projected last night, and a hesitant look appeared on your face...

Yan Jinghong laughed and said, "This skill is not a real martial art, but a strange technique that teaches people how to strike pressure points. It is neither a stance training nor a skill for killing enemies."

It can be used in conjunction with any finger technique and hidden weapon! And, not as if I taught it to you, consider it payment for what you just said!

"That sentence? You finally realized what I meant. You nodded."

Yan Jinghong revealed a satisfied smile before speaking to you: "The major acupoints of the body..."

[System notification: Yan Jinghong is teaching you the extraordinary technique 'Flying Star Acupoint Location'. Do you wish to learn it?]

【Yes! 】

Another extraordinary technique? And this time, it doesn't seem to be a bedroom art or the Five Animal Frolics. This should be an extraordinary technique that can assist in combat! Excitement appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes.

However, things soon took a turn for the worse than he had anticipated:

[Your comprehension has astonished Yan Jinghong. She only explained it once, without even trying to hide it, and you've already grasped most of it.]

She looked at you in surprise: "Young Master Chen, I now believe what your master said. You do indeed have exceptionally high comprehension, but your strength is simply too weak! So you haven't fully mastered the basics yet."

This Flying Star Acupoint Positioning Technique can be used in conjunction with hidden weapons, and it can also be used directly as a martial art using finger strength! Besides finger strength, it can also utilize skillful force; let me demonstrate for you…”

In an instant, Yan Jinghong stretched out his palm, his two fingers joined together, and pressed directly onto your pressure point!

[System notification: You have been attacked and are now in a 'frozen' state! You cannot move an inch.]

"How is it...?"

[Yan Jinghong's voice rang out from the side, but before she could finish speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the entrance of the pharmacy behind you two:]

"Where did this little vixen come from? What did you do to Doctor Chen...?"

[That voice is familiar; even with your back to the pharmacy door, you can recognize it as Bai Zhiyun's voice.]

Why is this woman here?

[You had no time to worry about any of that, because the next moment, you felt a gust of wind coming from behind, and Yan Jinghong turned around abruptly to meet it.]

Then, a series of crackling and popping sounds began to echo throughout the entire pharmacy.

【"They're fighting?!"】

[“They're fighting? Who will win?”]

[Bai Zhiyun recently broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, and Yan Jinghong is also at the Acquired Qi Condensation Realm; the two are evenly matched!]

[“No, untie me now! I want to see women fight!”]

[You cried out helplessly in your heart...]
