Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

In fact, the Gong family had given the matter of passing on the true Baguazhang to Yan Qing after careful consideration. However, her father took into account the current situation, especially since even her father's curator, Director Zou, had said that Yan Qing was a genius.

Her father, considering the surrounding enemies, believed that nurturing a martial arts genius would offer more hope, which is why he sent Gong Ruomei to teach.

The main reason Gong Ruomei was sent in person was to investigate Yan Qing.

The Gong family was confident that they could bear the consequences if they passed on the true teachings of Baguazhang.

However, Yan Qing's talent was somewhat beyond Gong Ruomei's expectations. She had a premonition that Yan Qing's future achievements in martial arts would be extraordinary, and perhaps their Gong family would not be able to reclaim this technique in the future.

However, before leaving, Gong Ruomei still made her stance clear.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing paused for a moment, but immediately a smile spread across his face:

"Rest assured, national rejuvenation is also my dream!"

Gong Ruomei looked into Yan Qing's eyes, seemingly trying to discern the truth in his words, but Yan Qing's gaze remained unwavering, meeting hers directly.

"Then I wish you eternal prosperity in martial arts!"

Finally, Gong Ruomei smiled, cupped her hands in greeting, and walked toward the train.

"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime."

"good!"

In the end, Gong Ruomei and Old Man Jiang boarded the train without looking back.

"Tsk~ Miss, aren't you tempted by him? With his martial arts talent, it's quite possible that he'll break through to the Gang Jin realm one day with the four true teachings."

When Old Jiang saw that Gong Ruomei was still looking out the train window, he couldn't help but tease her.

However, his words were half-joking and half-sincere.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Yan Qing these past few days, he could roughly discern Yan Qing's character. To be honest, even he was envious of Yan Qing's talent.

It's just that he's all alone and doesn't have any granddaughters, otherwise he would definitely try to match them up. But Gong Ruomei is someone he watched grow up, so it wouldn't be bad if she were with Yan Qing.

However, after hearing this, Gong Ruomei shook her head without even thinking:

"He has a big heart..."

……

"Young master~ The train is about to depart. If you go after it, she might stay behind~"

Lan Yue saw Yan Qing staring at the train and couldn't help but say something.

*Smack!*

Yan Qing turned his head, reached out, put one arm around Wanxing, and patted Lanyue's bottom with the other:

"Does your young master lack women? Gong Ruomei may appear gentle on the outside, but she's actually more resolute than anyone else. It's best to stay away from a woman like that!"

Yan Qing put his arm around the two women and turned to walk towards the car.

"And another thing, are you two very free? If you have nothing to do, practice more. Don't wait until I've broken through while you're still standing still."

……

Yan Qing did not feel sorry about Gong Ruomei's departure.

There are plenty of beautiful women, and women with strong personalities like Gong Ruomei often bring all sorts of trouble. Yan Qing doesn't have the energy to deal with any romantic entanglements. The situation is becoming increasingly complicated, and time is becoming increasingly tight.

After returning home, Yan Qing's life remained unchanged, and just as he had told his father, he lived a very low-key life.

Aside from cultivating at home every day, he rarely goes out, but intelligence from outside still gets to him regularly.

Yan Qing paid particular attention to intelligence related to his father.

"Young Master, Miss Gong sent a telegram saying she has arrived safely."

On the third day after Gong Ruomei left, Wanxing, holding intelligence, reported to Yan Qing while he was cultivating.

"Um!"

Yan Qing responded, but his movements didn't stop at all. He continued to attack Lan Yue with Bagua Palm.

Lan Yue, wielding a short sword, struggled to block Yan Qing's attacks with her parrying sword technique.

Yan Qing is no longer satisfied with simply pounding the iron figure.

That kind of efficiency is too slow and far less effective than the progress brought about by actual combat.

Most importantly, Lan Yue, who was fighting against him, could also improve rapidly as a result.

"Everything is normal at the warlord's place..."

"Recently, many unfamiliar martial artists have appeared in the city, but they are currently keeping to themselves. Night patrols have been increased..."

"There are rumors from Wutai County that something seems amiss in Pucheng..."

"A secret report has arrived from Tianjin: the Cao family is frequently mobilizing troops in Tianjin..."

Wanxing relayed the intelligence information point by point, but as she spoke, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards Yan Qing and Lan Yue, who were engaged in battle.

At this point, Lan Yue was already at a significant disadvantage.

Although he was holding a short sword, the blocking technique he used with the short sword was no longer enough to stop Yan Qing.

Yan Qing's fighting style is completely different now compared to when he was using the Ming Jin technique.

During his Ming Jin period, Yan Qing primarily used Bajiquan, occasionally incorporating Xingyiquan.

However, Bajiquan moves are fierce and powerful, and at that time Yan Qing pursued the ultimate Ming Jin (manifest strength), so the moves were all powerful and heavy, and unstoppable.

At that time, the blocking sword technique could be dealt with with ease. After all, as long as you could see through the move, you could strike first and place the sword in the direction of Yan Qing's attack to intercept him.

But now Yan Qing has reached the level of internal strength, and his fighting style has undergone a complete transformation. In particular, with the addition of Baguazhang, his attacks have become unpredictable, and the blocking sword technique is no longer effective.

Lan Yue was struggling to keep up, but Yan Qing became increasingly composed, and his moves were no longer limited to Baguazhang.

Yan Qing suddenly flicked the back of his right hand toward Lan Yue's face. Lan Yue raised her short knife to block the flick, to prevent it from hitting her eyes. However, Yan Qing's flick was just a feint. His left hand slapped upwards, his palm striking Lan Yue's perineum.

This move is the double flicking hand from Bajiquan, but Yan Qing used hidden force in it, and it was a combination of feint and real strikes, striking from above and below.

Lan Yue had clearly learned his lesson; it was too late for the short sword to block downwards, so he had no choice but to retreat.

But this one step back left her completely exposed.

Yan Qing's Baji Double Flicking Hands technique changed in an instant, and he struck out with a palm, directly hitting Lan Yue's chest. Fortunately, as Lan Yue retreated, her arms were placed horizontally in front of her chest, which blocked the palm strike.

"Bang!"

Yan Qing did not use any hidden force in this move, but even though he only used visible force, the power was not small. He struck Lan Yue's arms with a palm, and the huge force directly knocked Lan Yue back several steps.

"Um?"

After striking with his palm, Yan Qing did not pursue, but instead looked at his own palm with some surprise.

"Have you reached the point of perfect harmony between mind and heart?"

Yan Qing looked at Lan Yue with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

When Ming Jin (manifest strength) is cultivated to its ultimate level, it can only be called the perfection of Ming Jin. Only when the external three harmonies are cultivated to perfection on this basis, that is, the degree to which the shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, and hand and foot are in harmony, can it be said that the ultimate Ming Jin has been reached.
