CHAPTER 40: SECTION 30: THE THIRD GU HUO XIANG INCIDENT?

Xu Ran’s curiosity was roused: "If you really know how, I can totally teach you."

"Brother Ran, you said it! Let’s pinky swear first!"

Tiger Girl earnestly stretched out her hand, her pinky finger curled up, her sparkling gemstone eyes flickering with anticipation, waiting cutely for cooperation.

Xu Ran couldn’t help but smile, and hooked Tiger Girl’s finger.

Tiger Girl shook her arm: "Pinky swear, hang on the hook, no change for a hundred years~"

What kind of ceremony is that for someone not even five...

But seeing Tiger Girl’s chubby little face so serious and solemn, Xu Ran didn’t interrupt her ritual: "Is the pinky swear over? Hurry up and show me your Mysterious Footwork."

"Then watch closely, Brother Ran!"

Tiger Girl was full of spirit as she got into position and then started her footwork.

Hmm?

The steps were light and ethereal, surprisingly showing a bit of the shape of Mysterious Footwork!

If you used these steps to fight one against five, you could definitely hold them off for a while. But to do it with ease, it still lacked some essence.

Need to work harder to touch the threshold of entry.

Oh wow!

Xu Ran stood up, eyebrows raised in surprise: "Little Liuli, how did you learn that?"

Tiger Girl blurted out: "Brother Ran taught me in a dream!"

Xu Ran had a face full of "you’re making me very confused": "...???"

No way, I, Xu Ran, swear to the heavens, I’m definitely not the kind of weirdo who sneaks into a little girl’s room at night for secret lessons! I’m not, I didn’t, don’t say such things!

To defend his innocence, Xu Ran shook his head firmly: "Impossible, how could I teach you in a dream. You must be mistaken, right?"

Tiger Girl argued: "Not mistaken, it was Brother Ran! It was Brother Ran!"

Seeing this.

Xu Ran quickly stopped insisting: "Okay, okay, it was me teaching you in the dream."

Tiger Girl put her hands on her hips: "I told you it was Brother Ran."

Xu Ran didn’t refute, he had his own guess—perhaps Tiger Girl memorized my body technique with her brain, thought about it during the day, dreamed of it at night, and thus dreamed of me teaching her.

Yes, it must be like that. An almost flawless guess!

Xu Ran laughed.

He thought the little girl was quite impressive!

Tiger Girl, full of pride, walked up to Xu Ran: "Brother Ran, you promised just now, if I know the Mysterious Footwork, you’ll teach me combat techniques~~"

Xu Ran nodded: "As a gentleman like me, I definitely stick to my word. Let’s go find an open space."

Tiger Girl: "Yay yay!"

So the four left the library together with the two inseparable guards.

As they left the library, Aunt Chen couldn’t help but worry: "Ran, can your little sister really learn? I heard kids can’t learn body techniques."

"From the body technique skill Little Liuli just demonstrated, she should be able to learn. How should I put it, this skill relies entirely on comprehension, it poses no harm to the body."

"Also, I’ll teach her the least difficult body technique. There definitely won’t be any problem."

Aunt Chen nodded.

Xu Ran solved the Celestial Punisher puzzle before he was even three years old.

Teaching a body technique now, isn’t it a piece of cake?

"Then I’ll trouble you, Ran."

"It’s nothing."

While speaking, the six of them reached the lawn in front of the library.

"Little Liuli, show me your body technique a few times first, I’ll help you refine it based on what you have now."

Tiger Girl nodded heavily: "Okay. Brother Ran."

In front of Xu Ran, Tiger Girl was especially obedient and cute, she started to perform the Mysterious Footwork with little hops.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"

With the sound of wind flowing, Tiger Girl maneuvered and dodged, nimble and agile, like a flexible little cat.

If several people attacked her now, she could certainly dodge about eighty percent.

However, her body technique wasn’t quite effortless, not seamless, with numerous flaws and gaps.

If the attack density were higher, she’d get beaten up.

"Hmm. Not bad. Just by watching me perform body technique usually, you can mimic to this extent, indeed a genius awakened twice!"

Deploying [Observing Carefully], Xu Ran praised Tiger Girl after studying her intensely for three times.

Such high talent.

Of course.

His newly advanced [High-level Comprehension] also came in handy at this moment.

It took just a few minutes for him to analyze the issues in Tiger Girl’s Mysterious Footwork and come up with the most suitable improvement plan for her.

"High-level Comprehension, has it really given me the confidence to be unstoppable?"

"Truly a Divine Skill!"

"The Third Sequence [Skilled in Enlightenment], even more of a divine amongst divines. I really want to dive in headfirst, and work hard to obtain Skilled in Enlightenment!"

The self-discipline factor in Xu Ran’s blood burned fiercely, if he wasn’t teaching right now, he’d definitely be heading to the library.

He waved to Tiger Girl: "Liuli sister, come here to listen."

"Here I come, here I come!"

Xu Ran’s tone was serious: "Watch carefully, I’ll break it down for you, think about every technique with my explanation, got it?"

Tiger Girl: "Got it! Liuli is smart."

"Then... let’s begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ran took his steps, like strolling through a courtyard, but his body already shifted several times like a light breeze, and flickered around like a phantom in several directions.

Seeing this, Tiger Girl’s gemstone-like eyes widened, her mouth opened, she clapped excitedly: "Wow!"

A wave of coolness habitually displayed.

Xu Ran officially began teaching——a slow motion with the left foot then the right, replaying a slow motion with the right foot then the left, showing all the basic techniques of introductory Mysterious Footwork to Tiger Girl.

Tiger Girl was totally focused, completely captivated by Xu Ran! The body technique Xu Ran performed was extraordinarily profound, as if it cracked open her head and gave her Enlightenment, making her gain infinite joy and pleasure, to the point where she couldn’t stop herself from clapping and cheering.
