Chapter 788: Chapter 790: Setting Out

After that time, Li Qianqian dared not easily make a move against ordinary people.

Because it was too easy to hurt the fragile lot.

This time, Xia Liu actually let her go up on stage, which almost excited her to death.

“Don’t get too excited, your opponent might very well be a Peak Mysterious Rank Warrior.”

Xia Liu didn’t want to see Li Qianqian become arrogant just because she had reached the second level of Qi Cultivation.

Arrogance often heralds one’s downfall.

Never be too proud, no matter the situation.

“I know, I’m just a little excited.”

Li Qianqian pouted her pink lips and said playfully.

“Very excited?”

“Uh-huh! I’ve never fought against a Martial Artist before.”

Li Qianqian nodded, her eyes sparkling intensely.

“Is that so? But before we fight, I need to give you some proper guidance. Now’s a good time; I’m going to test you.”

“Yes, yes, please!”

And so, Li Qianqian took Xia Liu’s hand and sprinted out of the house.

An hour later, under the bright moon and firefly light, in the woods, Li Qianqian pulled up her pants.

Looking at Xia Liu with a wronged expression, she asked, “Is this how you test me?”

Li Qianqian wanted to be angry, but she didn’t dare to let it show.

After this guy dragged her here, he simply pressed her against a tree.

What followed was an indescribable process.

It continued until just now, and Li Qianqian wanted to cry; what happened to the test he promised?

She couldn’t even dare to be fierce for fear that Xia Liu would not let her compete in the arena, which would be a huge loss.

“Ah, I was just checking out your endurance. Just now, my striking speed was incredibly fast; you can tell just by the sound.”

Xia Liu shamelessly replied.

“You’re despicable!”

Grasping the meaning behind Xia Liu’s words, Li Qianqian spoke furiously.

However, the blush on her face hadn’t faded yet, though the light was weak.

But Xia Liu could see it all clearly. At that moment, she looked like a juicy peach, incredibly tempting.

“Uh, indeed, I am Xia Liu.”

There was no denying that; after all, the name was right there.

After Li Qianqian rested a while, Xia Liu began to get her ready.

There was more time, so of course it was time to start the real practice.

Li Qianqian had been very diligent in asking Xia Liu to teach her more Spirit Arts before.

But with her current cultivation, she definitely couldn’t use the advanced Spirit Arts.

To prevent any accidents, Xia Liu reluctantly taught her Martial Arts Skills instead.

Fueling Martial Arts Skills with Spiritual Energy.

Although it was far less powerful than Spirit Arts.

For now, it was quite fitting for use.

She would learn Spirit Arts after her cultivation improved.

Li Qianqian had a solid foundation in many Martial Arts Skills, so when she practiced with Xia Liu, it was fierce.

Even though she had been thrown a few times just now, she remained stable and powerful.

Before becoming a Cultivator, she had learned Sanshou techniques at the police academy.

She knew how to move her body to maximize her strength.

After a few moves, Xia Liu was very satisfied.

This girl was simply a guaranteed win against a Mid-Level Mysterious Rank Martial Artist.

However, if she encountered a High-Level or Peak Mysterious Rank opponent, she would still need a little more practice to win.

With half a month’s time, that practice would be enough.

The two continued their practice until after 2 am before going home.

Upon arriving home, of course, they couldn’t avoid a round of teasing.

Why not, when the two of them entered the door together.

Caught red-handed by the sisters waiting in the hall.

Now, this group of girls was experienced and crafty; at a glance, they knew what Li Qianqian had gone through, even how many times she had lost.

“Brother Xia Liu, the sisters seem to want to start something–what’s your stance?”

Li Qianqian nestled beside Xia Liu like a bird relying on a person, blinking provocatively at the other sisters.

“Traitor!”

“Qianqian, you’re the one starting something.”

“Qianqian, you’ve been bought by Xia Liu.”

“Terrifying, a woman in love indeed.”

“Ah ah ah!”

…

Before the girls could tease, Xia Liu had already pounced…

In the following two weeks, Xia Liu trained Li Qianqian every day.

He allocated his time perfectly.

Morning, noon, and night, he’d prepare delicious meals for the girls.

This hard-earned tranquility was definitely something he cherished.

The girls knew Xia Liu’s time was precious.

So they didn’t go to the office.

Taking advantage of Xia Liu being home, they’d roll around with him.

Two weeks went by.

They felt like their bodies were not their own anymore.

Even Fang Fei and Zhang Qing felt completely wiped out.

And as for Li Qianqian, there was no need to say more.

Every time Xia Liu called her for training, before actually starting, she’d scream for an hour or two.

Xia Liu said it was a pre-battle warm-up, which had to be done when the opportunity arose.

Li Qianqian didn’t believe his nonsense for a second.

Who does warm-ups like that…

Today was the day they set out.

Since they preferred to keep a low profile, the vehicle they chose was very ordinary.

A Wuling Hongguang seven-seater.

The driver was Li Dazhuang.

Xia Liu and Li Qianqian sat in the back.

In the middle were Tie Shan and Lin Xiaotian, with Xiao Hu in the passenger seat.

In fifteen days, Xia Liu could see that Li Dazhuang and Xiao Hu had truly changed.

Their demeanor had evolved.

They appeared more confident than before.

Their masculine energy was more apparent as well.

Judging from the scar on the back of Xiao Hu’s neck, Lin Xiaotian’s training was indeed terrifying.

As to which of them would compete, Xia Liu had not asked yet.

An invitation allowed six people to enter, so they all went together.

Xia Liu wasn’t too worried about Osmanthus Village at the moment.

In China, he no longer had any enemies.

As for those abroad,

They probably hadn’t even found his location yet.

Even if they had, it wouldn’t matter; the Psychic Bureau had already deterred them once.

The Blood Clan in America, the Ross Royal Bloodline, had also been a deterrent.

In the world, anyone wanting to mess with the Nether Emperor first had to consider if they could match the Psychic Bureau and the Blood Clan of the Ross Royal Bloodline.

This time, the Martial World Society event was taking place in Boyun City.

The city was over three hundred kilometers away from Binlai City, with the event location being in Cangming County of Boyun City.

It was a very secluded small county town.

From what people said, there weren’t many ordinary people there.

Most of those walking on the roads were martial artists.

The shops on the streets mostly catered to martial artists, particularly in items like swords, herbs, etc.

Cangming County was a paradise for martial artists.

There, they could reveal their identities without any reservations.

Heavenly Mansion wouldn’t intervene.

If conflicts arose, as long as no one else’s interests were affected, they were free to fight however they wished.

The Martial World Society would start at 8 p.m.

The three-hundred-kilometer journey by car would take at most five hours.

Calculating it, Xia Liu and his group still had time to rest.

Even when they arrived, there wouldn’t be any activities for the day.

Possibly just to confirm the teams participating in the ring competition, and then to draw lots to determine tomorrow’s opponents.

Xia Liu wasn’t worried about it; he meditated and rested throughout the trip.

Since the Martial World Society was assisted by Heavenly Mansion in its organization, he wondered if the staff from that side would recognize him…
