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

What caused the two pain was not the impact on their arm or leg bones, but the feeling of their opponent's internal force colliding and spreading within their flesh with each impact.

The feeling of letting someone else's strength explode inside your body is not pleasant.

In particular, Wanxing's sharp hand cannot attack Lanyue's eyes, but it will not completely miss, and will continuously strike Lanyue's various acupoints.

The force, like a needle, penetrates the skin and flesh, piercing the muscles, and even the bones seem to be affected.

Both women were attacking each other relentlessly, and neither was defending.

While resisting the opponent's moves, one must also find a way to dissipate and neutralize the opponent's force within the body.

The whole process was both mentally and physically exhausting, and the body also had to endure unspeakable pain.

But this is the cultivation method the two devised. They put themselves in pain and crisis through this method, and then let their body's instincts overcome the pain and dissipate the force.

After such training, when the two finish, immense pain will engulf their bodies, and in the end, they may even tremble from the pain.

Furthermore, they need to ensure that one of them has the energy to massage Yan Qing. Today, Lan Yue will be bearing more of the force, so Wan Xing will be the one to massage Yan Qing tonight.

Their self-destructive practice has continued for several days.

Although the process was painful, the two of them could clearly see their own progress.

To break through the barrier of "transformation into internal strength," feeling the internal force is the most crucial step.

The two grew up together and had a perfect understanding of each other, which allowed them to use each other as human targets to hone their strength.

……

In the evening, after eating a pot of meat stewed with the finest medicinal herbs, Yan Qing took Tiger Bone Pills and Ginseng Pills before lying down on the bed, feeling somewhat exhausted, to recover his energy and prepare for sleep.

Wanxing clasped her hands in her arms and tiptoed into Yan Qing's bedroom. She walked all the way to the bedside before taking her hands out of her warm hands.

He carefully lifted the thin blanket covering Yan Qing, then placed his hands on Yan Qing's thighs.

Wanxing's fingers were still strong, but because she hadn't fully recovered from her daytime cultivation, her fingers were still trembling slightly.

Yan Qing had already fallen into a light sleep and was used to Wanxing and Lanyue coming over for massages at night.

But today, he noticed something different. The temperature of Wanxing's hand was just right, but the strength in her fingertips was three points weaker than before.

Moreover... the slight trembling of his fingers made his legs feel a little itchy.

"Um?"

This subtle change made Yan Qing frown slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

Upon hearing Yan Qing's slightly puzzled voice, Wan Xing remained silent, quietly adjusting her strength and trying her best to prevent her hands from trembling.

Although Wanxing's adjustment was timely enough, Yan Qing still opened his eyes and looked at Wanxing, who was kneeling by the bed and massaging him.

Her black hair fell from her ears, and the girl stood tall and straight, pressing the acupoints and muscles on her thighs with great effort.

The room was dimly lit, but Yan Qing could see the other person's pale face and the beads of sweat that were about to drip from it.

Sweat dripped down her cheeks, about to fall onto Yan Qing. Just as Wan Xing was about to pull her hand away to wipe it, Yan Qing raised his hand and gently brushed the sweat away.

He wiped away the sweat with his hand, tracing a line across Wanxing's cheek. The girl's skin was firm and delicate, but she instinctively trembled at Yan Qing's sudden touch.

"Young...Young Master, you're awake? Did I use too much force?"

Wanxing turned to look at Yan Qing, her eyes filled with a hint of nervousness and panic, fearing that she might have used the wrong force and hurt Yan Qing.

"..."

Yan Qing did not answer. Instead, he sat up from the bed and looked at Wanxing, who was kneeling beside him.

"Young...Young Master..."

Wanxing didn't know why Yan Qing was suddenly looking at her like that, and spoke in a flustered manner.

"You two sisters seem a bit off lately!"

Under the dim light, Yan Qing carefully examined the other person, recalling their behavior over the past few days, and spoke with a hint of doubt.

"It's probably because I've been practicing too much lately and haven't been getting enough rest..."

Wanxing lowered her head and brushed her loose hair aside, trying to hide her slightly pale face.

However, Yan Qing didn't listen to what the other person was saying. He reached out, grabbed the girl's chin, and turned her face so that she had to face him directly.

Seeing Wanxing's somewhat evasive gaze, Yan Qing reached out with his other hand towards her collar.

With just a little force, Yan Qing roughly tore open Wanxing's slightly loose clothes, revealing her fair skin and bright red bodice underneath.

Yan Qing's gaze did not linger on the bulging bodice, but rather on the abnormal dark red patches on Wanxing's fair skin.

Yan Qing ran his fingers across the dark red stains, and perhaps unaccustomed to Yan Qing's actions, goosebumps appeared on his skin.

"These are hidden injuries left by the powerful blow. What about Lan Yue?"

Yan Qing could tell how these scars were formed just by touching them slightly.

In an instant, Yan Qing knew how the two women had been cultivating recently.

But he was thinking about more. If Wanxing, who came to massage him, was like this, then... what about Lanyue, who didn't appear?

"I...she..."

Wanxing wanted to cover it up, but she opened her mouth and then didn't know how to continue.

"Take me to your room!"

Yan Qing had no intention of listening to the other party's explanation at all. As he spoke, he got out of bed and walked outside.

Finally, Wanxing pulled up her clothes, then lowered her head and quickly followed behind Yan Qing.

The two women's room was not far from Yan Qing's room; it was just a few steps from their doorsteps.

Lan Yue had already fallen asleep, but even in her sleep, she still frowned, and her hands and feet still trembled from time to time.

Yan Qing stepped forward and lifted the thin blanket off Lan Yue's body. He then pulled open Lan Yue's collar and saw the same dark red spots appear on her skin.

"I will give her a massage later, and tomorrow I will apply some safflower ointment and tiger bone ointment, which will help disperse the blood stasis quickly."

Wanxing spoke softly to explain, but her voice was so low that it lacked persuasiveness.

In terms of elixirs, martial arts resources are divided into four types from the lowest to the highest level: powder, paste, pill, and elixir, based on their efficacy, the rarity of the medicinal materials, and the difficulty of refining them.

Yan Qing usually uses pills or elixirs for cultivation, which are considered top-tier martial arts resources.

Wanxing and Lanyue were trained by the Yan family, but they only used ointment and were occasionally rewarded with pills for their meritorious service.

Don't think the Yan family is stingy. In fact, only true martial artists can use ointments. Ordinary martial artists use powdered medicine to maintain their needs.
