Ye Xiao listened to the old man's baffling words with great curiosity. Even though he was very smart, he couldn't understand a thing the old man was saying!

It seemed as if the old man was waiting for something—or perhaps waiting for him? But he didn't seem to recognize this old man.

"I once had a favorite disciple, he was my pride!" the old man continued to mutter, as if he were chatting with Ye Xiao about family matters.

"But on a sunny day, that very disciple crippled me completely!" There was a hint of agony in the old man's voice.

Ah?

It was only after hearing the old man's words that Ye Xiao realized this old man had also been through much suffering.

"Elder, you've been injured?" Ye Xiao asked in surprise.

The old man chuckled and said, "Injured? My whole body is injured, but at the same time it's also free of injury. Being injured or not, to me, it's really not a big deal."

"Elder, are you asking me to do something for you?" After hearing these few words from the old man, Ye Xiao began to understand what was going on.

"What a clever young man," the old man said. "I hope you can teach that wretched disciple a lesson for me. I could punish him myself, but I think such a person remaining in society is absolutely detrimental to the community!"

"You want me to kill him for you," Ye Xiao said with a slight smile. "Why should I help you? It seems I get nothing out of it!"

"I can give you a secret technique. Although it's not any unparalleled cultivation technique, there may come a day when you'll encounter extremely powerful foes. To deal with them, you'll have to use my secret technique. Otherwise, with your strength, you'll have only a dead end!" the old man said seriously.

Ye Xiao was shocked again by the old man's words. Who was he talking about? Was it that so-called favorite disciple? But why would this person trouble him?

Ye Xiao smiled faintly and looked at the old man, "But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."

The old man was visibly taken aback by Ye Xiao's response. Clearly, he hadn't expected Ye Xiao to say such a thing.

It's often said that with age comes cunning. Since this old man had decided to seek Ye Xiao's help, it was obvious he wouldn't be deterred by a single sentence from Ye Xiao.

"As far as I know, today's incident also involves my favorite disciple. Today you didn't die, but that doesn't mean he won't target you. He's a man who only seeks profit and will remove anyone who might stand in his way. Now, you have two choices before you: the first is to leave—I mean you leave—and the second is to make a deal with me. Not only can I teach you the secret technique I've been researching for over a decade, but I can also ensure the woman you're trying to save is returned to you unharmed!" the old man said calmly and methodically.

Ye Xiao understood some things upon hearing just this.

"If I don't help you, do you intend to stop me from saving her?" Ye Xiao's voice turned icy cold at once.

The old man's laughter echoed, "Hehe," as he said, "You're right. Your decision is indeed key to that girl's fate."

"Shameless!"

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Xiao immediately felt that the old man was utterly shameless. How could someone be so shameless in this world? What was his story?

However, when Ye Xiao's words reached the old man's ears, they only made the old man laugh with even more pride.

"Boy, have you the nerve to call me shameless? Just now, to feel up that girl's thigh, you deliberately pretended to be healing her, even touching her chest. Did you think I was unaware that to heal, you only need to channel True Qi into her back with your hands? You forced me to say this!"

This... How did the old man know everything?

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Xiao was shocked. Could the old man have been nearby when he touched Wang Luoxin's thigh? But how could he have not noticed?

Suddenly, Ye Xiao's shoulders slumped; he had thought himself quite shameless, but today he had indeed met his match.

Finally, with a sigh of resignation, Ye Xiao said, "Fine, I'll help you."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the old man's face lit up with surprise, and then he looked at Ye Xiao with a smile, "Boy, I won't let you help me for nothing. Come here!"

After hearing the old man's words, Ye Xiao felt a surge of relief and immediately stepped forward toward the old man.

But when Ye Xiao approached the old man, he suddenly noticed a large concave pit beside the old man!

In the center of the pit sat a chair bound by some unknown material, and sitting on the chair was none other than Qin Yulu.

"Would you like to try and save this girl? The ropes are no ordinary ropes. If anyone touches them, this girl will instantly be burnt to a dry corpse by the high-voltage current released by the ropes!" said the old man with a soft chuckle.

Upon hearing the old man's words, a surge of anger welled up in Ye Xiao, and he glared bloodshot eyes at the old man, angrily asking, "Is this your doing?"

"I haven't become that shameless yet!" said the old man.

"Do you know how to save her?" Ye Xiao looked at the old man.

"If you want to save her, learn my secret technique first," replied the old man.

"You're not afraid that I'll learn the secret technique and then follow in the footsteps of your favorite disciple?" Ye Xiao asked.

The old man replied indifferently, "That's why I'm taking a gamble. If you really turn out to be like that unfilial student of mine, it means that the heavens do not intend for me to have my revenge."

"Will he really come after me in the future?" Ye Xiao asked again!

"He definitely will!" the old man said with certainty!

"Old man, I will definitely help you!" Ye Xiao said earnestly!

"You were calling me 'Senior' just a moment ago!"

"With how shameless you are, how could you possibly deserve the title of 'Senior'?" Ye Xiao looked at the old man and said sincerely!

The old man completely ignored Ye Xiao's words, saying instead, "I once had a high-level martial arts skill called 'Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill.'"

"Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill?" Ye Xiao was astonished when he heard the old man's words. He had heard that in Chu City, there was once a very powerful master who was at the peak of Xuan Rank. Although his strength was at the peak of Xuan Rank, his actual offensive power was equivalent to Earth Rank. This individual was a figure of great renown over a decade ago in Chu City. However, he suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. The secret technique that made him famous was the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill!

"Are you the once-legendary master known as 'Xie Zheng' in Chu City, famous for your Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill?" Ye Xiao looked at the old man, his eyes filled with surprise and respect.

Ye Xiao had heard of Xie Zheng's Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill, a man of extraordinary strength and a carefree nature, somewhat similar to Ye Xiao!

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the old man chuckled and said, "Those are all things of the past, not worth mentioning."

"Senior Xie, you have high attainments in fist, palm, and finger techniques. Why would you..." Ye Xiao was really curious. How could such a powerful and renowned figure fall so quickly?

Xie Zheng laughed and then looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Let's not talk about the past."

"Elder Xie, what is this secret technique you're going to teach me? Is it the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill?" Ye Xiao was actually quite excited. Even though he had never seen the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill, it was a technique many anticipated with eagerness.

Xie Zheng said, "The secret technique I want to pass on to you is called 'Breaking the Three Extremes.'"

"Breaking the Three Extremes?" Ye Xiao was even more amazed after hearing Xie Zheng's words. What was this so-called Breaking the Three Extremes? Was it also a very powerful cultivation technique? No, wait, why was it called Breaking the Three Extremes?

"Yes, Breaking the Three Extremes. It is a technique specifically designed to counter the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill." Xie Zheng explained, "To outsiders, the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill has very few weaknesses and it is extremely difficult to find any. Breaking the Three Extremes, on the other hand, teaches you the vulnerabilities of the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill. You learn to spot the flaws, to target them. The essence of the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill lies in punches, palm strikes, and finger attacks, while the essence of Breaking the Three Extremes lies in countering punches, palms, and fingers!"

After listening to Xie Zheng's explanation, Ye Xiao finally understood why it was called Breaking the Three Extremes!

"Is this technique only useful against the Breaking Three Extremes Hand Skill? What about other forms of boxing or hand skills?" Ye Xiao asked!

Ye Xiao suddenly realized that this Breaking the Three Extremes technique seemed to share similarities with the legendary superior sword technique called "Dugu Nine Swords", which also focuses on countering attacks!

Xie Zheng said, "It should be useful. However, I have not used it against anything else. I'll tell you the essence of the technique, and you must remember it well."

Hearing Xie Zheng's words, Ye Xiao immediately nodded in agreement!

Then, Xie Zheng began to orally pass on the essence of Breaking the Three Extremes to Ye Xiao, explaining while speaking, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.

"Have you remembered it?" Xie Zheng asked sternly.

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and said, "I have."

Only then did Xie Zheng relax, he sighed and said, "You may leave now!"

"Leave?" Ye Xiao immediately looked at Xie Zheng with a puzzled expression, asking, "Isn't there a high voltage current? How do you control it?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's question, Xie Zheng suddenly laughed and said, "Go ahead, there's no longer any."

When Ye Xiao heard Xie Zheng's words, he immediately realized the truth!

"You tricked me!" Ye Xiao glared at Xie Zheng!

"Yes, I tricked you. What are you going to do about it?" Xie Zheng looked back at Ye Xiao with a mischievous grin, clearly self-satisfied!

Ye Xiao felt incredibly frustrated inside. It was usually him deceiving others, but now the tables had turned—what they say about frequenting the river's edge is true, this time his own shoes got wet!

However, frustration aside, the fact that Xie Zheng had taught him the Breaking the Three Extremes move was still quite moving to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's figure flashed, and he jumped into the large pit, coming to Qin Yulu's side, who was now wearing a frosty expression, having already seen through the deception!

After coming closer, Ye Xiao discovered the ropes around Qin Yulu, although made of steel, did not have any joints—how could they carry an electric current?

Ye Xiao could only offer a bitter smile, having been played by the unorthodox old man today. Nonetheless, he was fortunate to have received the Breaking the Three Extremes skill from Elder Xie!
