Chapter 15: Sneaking Up on Master

  When Jian Yu Mei and Lin Li returned to their master's home.

  They quietly entered the house, but when they passed by their master's room, they found that the door of their master's room was ajar.

  "It's strange, did Master also go out at night?" thought Jian Yu Mei.

  At this time, Lin Li yawned.

  "Brother, let's go to sleep separately. If Father has gone out, he will naturally come back later. Don't think about it anymore!" Lin Li said.

  "Ah, okay!" Jian Yu Mei recalled the scene of herself running out to find her master in the rainstorm that day, and her master on top of that big tree.

  But at this moment, Shifu's whereabouts could not be pursued by himself.

  Jian Yu Mei returned to his own room, he followed the master's teachings of the Earthly Small Week's secret, carefully operating the frame, soon, the true energy was full in the week, then he one by one according to the requirements of the gong method those acupoints, one by one broke out.

  "Out, out, out!" Jian Yu Mei was there circulating her Qi to set up a framework.

  Soon, all major acupoints can break through and come out.

  Then Jian Yu Mei took these true energies into the lower dantian, and after circulating countless times, she only felt that her whole body's true energy was even more abundant, with more true energy than before practicing.

  "No wonder they say it's hard to part with, just now I only released a small portion of my true energy, but the true energy I recovered is even more!" The universe's energy is truly mysterious! thought Jian Yu Mei.

  Then he continued to guard his dantian lightly, allowing his true energy to become even more abundant.

  He slowly entered a dazed and confused state.

  As he felt himself gradually coming to, he saw that outside it was already a bright day with the sun shining down on the earth.

  Jian Yu Mei stood up and gathered his energy, gently massaging and pounding all the acupoints on his body. At this moment, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

  When he walked out of the yard, he saw his master already practicing boxing in the yard.

  "Come, Mei'er, I want to see how well you've practiced that set of palm techniques I taught you the other day!" Master said.

  "Master, after this period of practice, I have basically mastered it!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Alright then! Let's have a contest between master and disciple!" The master said.

  "Good!" Jian Yu Mei said, then took off in a flash.

  Perhaps he had just gone through a stroke of luck, his movements were extremely light and agile. This set of Invisible Palm was used by him to the point of being divine and magical.

  The master felt relieved after seeing this, but the master knew that Jian Yu Mei's skills still needed improvement, so he didn't speak and waited for Jian Yu Mei to make a move.

  After dozens of moves, Jian Yu Mei's techniques were gradually neutralized by his master. Slowly, Jian Yu Mei felt the soft power in his master's palm, and he knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose.

  But he couldn't just give up, so while fighting his master, he was thinking of a way to turn things around.

  He suddenly thought of a way.

  After he received a move from his master, he pretended that his foot slipped and now he was about to fall down.

  At this time, the master was shocked and hastily stretched out his hand to grab him.

  Master just grasped it and knew he had been deceived. Because Sword Guard's hand was a reversal of his own!

  This martial art is Master's specialty and masterpiece, so Master taught it to Jian Yu Mei, hoping that he can make this skill flourish.

  This lock is called Lock Dragon Tiger, meaning both dragon and tiger can't escape this lock.

  Only to see Master being tightly locked by Sword Emperor's hands!

  At this time, Shifu burst out laughing.

  "Mei'er, you're really capable! I thought you wouldn't be so quick, but it turns out you've mastered the core skills of our school so fast!" Master said.

  "Those words were all taught by Master!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Yes, this palm technique is paired with a set of claw techniques. Once you learn the palm technique, the claw technique will come naturally and you'll master half of it. I didn't expect you to study the claw technique ahead of time on your own! Come, take the book and study it carefully!" Master said.

  Jian Yu Mei borrowed a book handed over by her master, still the kung fu of her own sect, it's obviously a legacy.

  Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Thank you, Master!"

  "Uh, Mei'er, remember that our line of work as tomb raiders is actually very dangerous. We have to deal with all sorts of people and also all sorts of evil spirits. We must be extremely careful, so our skills must be excellent in order to become a true master, able to retreat unscathed at any time." Master said.

  "Yes, Master!" Jian Yu Mei said respectfully.

  "This is the internal family skill, fist and footwork, weapon skills are all here, come take a look!" The master took out a box, inside the box were over a dozen volumes of ancient thread-bound books.

  "Mei'er, come and see, these books were left behind by our ancestors. The martial arts of our sect are not inferior to those of Wudang and Shaolin. Of course, our martial arts also incorporate their techniques, but isn't it the case that all things in the world have a bit of each other in them? Why must we draw such clear distinctions?" Master said.

  "Mei, you must remember to be good at learning and absorbing. Even if you master the skills of our school, you still need to continuously learn from various schools and factions. You should learn from the strengths of all families and be open-minded. Only then can your skills improve! To reach the level of a top-notch expert, it's difficult to make progress if you're stuck in your own ways and only cling to the skills of your own school." The master continued to say.

  "I've got it, Master!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Hmm, you first learn all these skills within half a year, and then practice diligently every day, and you will have a very good foundation. After you've learned all these, I'll spar with you anytime, using various styles of martial arts, and you'll understand a lot! These will be of great help to you after you leave the mountain!" The master said.

  "I will, Master!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  "Today, I have formally passed on all my skills to you. From now on, you are the successor of our school! You should practice your skills well first, and after you've mastered them, I'll continue to teach you the details of Taoist magic and grave robbing!" The master said.

  "Thank you, Master!" Xiang Yu Mei was overjoyed, never expecting to receive the entire school's skills today. Although she knew that her master would eventually pass on all his skills to her, she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

  "Come on, there's still some time today, let's exchange a few more moves!" Master said.

  "Alright, Master!" Jian Yu Mei said.

  At this time, Shifu made a move with his sword that Yuwen Yifeng had never seen before, using a set of fist techniques against Yuwen Yifeng.

  Jian Yu Mei felt extremely strenuous, Shifu's fist method was both stable and ruthless, but every move was a life-taking posture.

  Jian Yu Mei made a move with the school's fist method, but still felt powerless. However, he was not willing to give up. After making a move, he turned around and quietly completed his palm-fist transformation during the turn. Then, he made another move towards his master.

  The master did not expect him to quietly switch to Ling Kong Fist, and when the great force surged forward, the master hastily dodged. In this dodge, Jian Yu Mei's swordsmanship changed hands, and the master hastily dodged several times in a row to avoid it.

  When the master and his son fell from the sky to the ground, he exclaimed "What a narrow escape! What a narrow escape!"

  "Good, Mei! Your leadership skills are impressive, your kung fu is almost as good as mine, it won't be long before you surpass me! Keep practicing diligently!" Master said.
