"We still need advice from Young Master."

Huh...?

"Yes! We still need Young Master to advise us. We're in no hurry to choose a skill; let them choose first. After all, it's not just us who haven't chosen; numbers one, three, and four don't know about this yet. So, then there are Mystical Martial skills left for us anyway."

Both Yong-Dai-Shi and Ming-Mang-Shi had the same idea. The two then spoke in support of each other about the reason why they had not left yet. Guan-Sun-Long, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement with the two of them as well. As for Guan-Ying-Ping, she did not say anything except lower her head.

"Want me to advise you on your skills, is that so?" Zheng-Fu understood the meaning of them and asked directly.

"That's right! We'd like Young Master Zheng-Fu to take a look at our skills to see if there are any flaws and if there is any point where they can be adjusted and modified," Yong-Dai-Shi was the first to speak honestly about what he thought.

"Alright. But… The skills that you need me to advise are skills from your old sect, right?" Zheng-Fu agreed. But he needed to get confirmation of the origin of their skills first.

"That's right, Young Master Zheng-Fu," Ming-Mang-Shi immediately replied to Zheng-Fu in a calm tone.

"Actually, I can advise you on the skills of your former sect that you've been cultivating. But if I did, it would be an insult and disrespect towards your old sect. So then…"

"I understand that. We apologize to Young Master Zheng-Fu for causing embarrassment. Therefore, we'll not ask Young Master to adjust our skills from our former sects. But if it's our clan's skills, it wouldn't be a problem, right?" Guan-Sun-Long interjected Zheng-Fu immediately, understanding Zheng-Fu's thoughts.

Yong-Dai-Shi and Ming-Mang-Shi thought the same thing. Their faces even showed disappointment at not being able to use those skills to improve. But they understood what was right and what was not. Therefore, neither of them spoke nor made any further complaints to Zheng-Fu about those skills.

"If it's your clan's skills, I'd be happy to help with all my might," Zheng-Fu nodded with pleasure.

"Thank you very much," Guan-Sun-Long clasped his hands up, bowed down, and said thank you.

"Don't think too much... By the way, who's going to start first?" asked Zheng-Fu, since, in this case, there were four people from three clans.

"I'll be the first!" Yong-Dai-Shi raised his hand and asked to be the first.

"Then please come on, Young Master Yong-Dai-Shi," Zheng-Fu raised his hand and invited Yong-Dai-Shi to perform as he sat down and prepared to watch.

Um...

Thump!!!

[The Yong Clan's Secret Saber Skill: First Stance; Flying Saber]

Whoosh!!!

Flop!!! Slash!!! Whoosh!!!

[The Yong Clan's Secret Saber Skill: Second Stance; Arrogant Flying Saber]

As soon as Yong-Dai-Shi jumped onto the martial arts training court number one, without hesitation, he immediately began to perform the Yong Clan's secret skill to Zheng-Fu. This secret skill was a saber-type elementary high-level skill. There were two stances for this skill. The first stance focused on defenses, not attack, while the second stance focused on attack, not defenses.

Thump!!!

After finishing the movements, Yong-Dai-Shi jumped back to the same place and asked Zheng-Fu, "How about it, Young Master Zheng-Fu? What do you think of this skill of my clan?" Yong-Dai-Shi asked, with a confident expression that his skill could definitely improve a lot.

"Um... Not bad at all for your Yong Clan's saber skill. From what I see, this skill is almost complete. Both stances are distinctive in their own way. It can be used together as an offensive and a defensive skill in battle. So this skill set only has one flaw."

Zheng-Fu praised Yong-Dai-Shi's secret skill immediately after he was asked. Throughout Yong-Dai-Shi's movements, it was clear to Zheng-Fu that this skill was almost complete. There was only a small point that had to be adjusted to make it complete.

"Almost complete?" Yong-Dai-Shi's expression changed when he heard Zheng-Fu's words, saying that it was almost complete. Even though it was almost complete, this skill was just so effective. So how powerful would it be if it was in the perfect state? With his curiosity, Yong-Dai-Shi asked, "Young Master Zheng-Fu, what does it mean that it is almost complete?

If it was perfected, this skill wouldn't be improved any further, would it?" Yong-Dai-Shi asked with furrowed brows.

"That's right, Young Master Yong-Dai-Shi. Because it is almost complete, this skill has no chance to advance to the next level. Unless..."

"Unless what?!" Before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking, Yong-Dai-Shi suddenly cried out anxiously as he heard that there was a chance.

"Unless... you'll create a third stance. It must be upon your decision. I cannot interfere with your clan's secret skill," Zheng-Fu replied honestly to Yong-Dai-Shi.

"Oh! I understand... Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for guiding me. I'll try to come up with the third stance as much as I can. Sigh...!" The previous enthusiastic words completely disappeared after Yong-Dai-Shi received Zheng-Fu's reply. However, it was very difficult for him to invent a third stance for this secret skill.

"Young Master Dai-Shi, I know you can do it. Don't give up now. Then I'll help you invent too," Guan-Sun-Long saw Yong-Dai-Shi's sad expression, so he immediately consoled him and offered to help.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Sun-Long. I'll do my best!" seeing that Guan-Sun-Long offered to help him, the flame of effort suddenly resurfaced with a serious expression on his face.

"Then, next is my turn."

Thump!!!

When everything was settled, Ming-Mang-Shi suddenly raised his voice while jumping on martial arts training court number one, then immediately began the movement of the Ming Clan's secret skill to Zheng-Fu.

[The Ming Clan's Secret Sword and Shield Skill: First Stance; Shield Flick, Sword Defense]

[The Ming Clan's Secret Sword and Shield Skill: Second Stance; Shield Open, Sword Slash]

Flop!!! Whoosh!!! Slash!!!

[The Ming Clan's Secret Sword and Shield Skill: Third Stance; Shield and Sword Unite into One]

Whoosh!!! Slash!!!

The Ming Clan's secret skill was intermediate high-level skill shield and sword type. This skill had a total of three stances, which were all offensive and defensive, not different from the sword skill of the Yong Clan. The difference was that this skill had three stances. Therefore, it was at a higher level than the Yong Clan's skill.

Thump!!!

"How is my clan's skill?" after the performance movement ended, Ming-Mang-Shi jumped back and asked with the same expectant face as Yong-Dai-Shi had before.

"The Ming Clan's secret skill is as good as the Yong Clan's. Maybe even better. And because it's better than the Yong Clan's skill, the Ming Clan's secret skill is in the perfect stage. There are no flaws that need to be adjusted or modified," Zheng-Fu replied with a broad smile to Ming-Mang-Shi.

"That's right. In fact, I also heard Grandfather's words that this skill has reached a dead end. It couldn't be improved even further, no matter how hard he tried," Ming-Mang-Shi did not show a disappointed look on his face, however, because he had known this before and had already made up his mind earlier.

"That's just what everyone understands. But in fact, this skill set is more suited to soldiers than to combat cultivators. So, it's limited to just this. But if you turn it into a martial arts skill for your own use instead, I think it can be developed further," Zheng-Fu explained to Ming-Mang-Shi.

"That's right! Our clan has been soldiers for generations. Most of the skills are used in the military. Only the skills trained by the big sects that focus on martial arts are for a martial master," Yong-Dai-Shi suddenly spoke up, showing more understanding after hearing Zheng-Fu's explanation.

"It's true as what Young Master Dai-Shi said. All three of our clans are royal servants. So, most of the skills we train are military-related skills, except for the skills trained by the Dragon Halberd Sect and the Royal Guardian Sect."

Guan-Sun-Long could understand as well. He was thinking of going to perform his clan's secret skill, but after hearing this, he stopped thinking about it. He got the idea from Zheng-Fu's explanation just now that even if the fever was modified, it was useless as long as their secret skills were focused on the military.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Zheng-Fu, for advising us on our skills. With the guidance of Young Master, I'm confident that in the future I'll be able to improve myself and the skills I use.

So, we'll have to go to Skill Hall to choose the Mystical Martial skill first," Guan-Sun-Long, who understood everything so clearly, gave Zheng-Fu a heartfelt thank you before excusing himself to go to Skill Hall.

"Me too. I have to thank Young Master Zheng-Fu so much for pointing it out. According to Young Master, the best choice right now would be the Mystical Martial skill in Skill Hall." Yong-Dai-Shi also thought the same as Guan-Sun-Long that they should go and choose the Mystical Martial skill to continue training.

"I want to know now what those Mystical Martial skills will be like! Will some skills match me? Will it be difficult to practice or not? Oh!!! I can't wait to go... I've got to go and see it right now!" After Ming-Mang-Shi finished speaking, he grabbed Yong-Dai-Shi's arm and immediately soared away.

Swish!!! Swish!!!

"Both of you wait for me!" Guan-Sun-Long did not hesitate, hurriedly following the two of them, ignoring what Zheng-Fu had to say further. And he did not care about his sister behind him either.

Swish!!!

..................................

When all three were gone, the only person remaining was Guan-Ying-Ping. The young woman, who had been standing still all this time, kept standing silently, bowing her head and not speaking. She did not care what was going on around her besides standing alone and thinking about something.

Huh...?

"Miss Guan-Ying-Ping."

...................................

"Miss Guan-Ying-Ping."

...................................

"What's wrong with her? I called her but she hasn't answered at all?" After calling twice and not getting an answer, Zheng-Fu suddenly wondered what was with Guan-Ying-Ping, so Zheng-Fu walked closer to her.

Thump thump thump!!!

He bowed down and tilted his head to look at her face and let out a sound, "Miss Guan-Ying-Ping, what's wrong with you?"

Huh...?

Aaaah!!!

Eeeeeeek!!!
