In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
"Drink it!"
Yi Ping gave a low, coaxing sound!
A powerful energy burst forth from all directions from his body at the same time!
Because the energy was released too loosely, it did not harm the second-rate martial artists around it; it merely pushed them away.
Those second-rate martial artists who had just sparred with Yi Ping and were not much weaker than him were all amazed. It was terrifying! This guy had only been touched by a mysterious expert and had actually gained such a boost!
"His internal energy is projecting outwards; he's a top-tier expert!"
"No, even top-tier experts can only project their energy from one part of their body at most. Those who can project energy from two parts are all young heroes from prestigious families who have practiced special martial arts and techniques!"
A knowledgeable martial artist spoke up: "But do you think we don't know what level Yi Ping is at? His fundamental martial art is Iron Body Skill, and his most proficient martial art is Vajra Palm!"
"He's not a first-rate martial artist anymore, he's a martial master!"
Martial arts master!
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent!
Hiss!
Gasps of shock filled the air!
In this world, a first-class person is a renowned figure in a region, and a martial arts master is the top expert in a city!
For example, Qingcheng is one of the top cities in Qing Kingdom, but there are only three martial arts schools in the city. Even if you include some old people who have retired from the martial arts world, the total number of martial arts masters will not exceed ten!
Because... those who are truly talented and have extraordinary potential have long been discovered and selected by the major sects. Most of the martial arts practitioners in the martial arts school are those who were selected and left over.
As for the unaffiliated martial artists and the wild martial artists, they were the remaining group.
Becoming a first-rate martial artist is extremely difficult, and becoming a martial arts master is practically unattainable!
Yi Ping naturally heard what that person said. Before that person spoke, he had no idea how strong he had become.
And now, ecstasy has enveloped his entire being!
The feelings of inferiority and disappointment I had just felt vanished instantly!
He straightened his back, and a radiance of confidence burst forth from every pore!
Yun Shou was very satisfied.
This Yi Ping and he have some similarities.
For example, Yun Er initially practiced Iron Body Kung Fu.
For example, Yun Si also participated in this martial arts contest to find a husband, and was rejected by Lin Youbai after winning first place.
Having two coincidences can also be described as fate.
With a mere flick of his wrist, he bestowed upon Yi Ping the cultivation level of a martial arts master, which was considered a life-changing act.
While he might not reach the same level as Uncle Ji and the others, he could still help Yi Ping attain the martial arts cultivation levels of Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and even Innate.
After all, we're not related by blood or marriage, so we can't just give every single person we meet a huge gift package containing "thorns," can we?
Seeing Yi Ping regain his confidence, Yun Shou nodded with satisfaction: "I once had a similar situation to you (and with the same woman), so I'm giving you this opportunity today."
After saying that, Yun Shou pointed to the wooden building where Lin Youbai was: "Go, child, do what you should do, tell her what happened to you!"
Yi Ping strode over with an air of grandeur!
Lin Youbai was already stunned by all of this. She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.
Just now, she rejected this man because he was "too old".
Just a few minutes later, the man returned to her with a completely new look!
Lin Youbai felt a strange sensation. Yi Ping, who originally had an ordinary face and was not particularly tall, now appeared handsome and imposing, thanks to his martial arts cultivation and mysterious master.
She wanted to say, "I was wrong, let's continue our marriage," but no normal person would agree to that.
Yi Ping looked at Lin Youbai indifferently.
Lin Youbai held her breath nervously.
Yun Shou pricked up his ears expectantly.
Other passersby also peeked inside.
All I saw was—
Yi Ping raised his eyebrows high, slapped his chest loudly, and spoke in a loud voice.
"Miss Lin, when you said those words before, did you know I would end up like this?!"
Lin Youbai said nervously, "No, I don't know."
Yi Ping's mouth twisted into a smirk: "Now you know? Hmm!?"
Lin Youbai responded softly, "I know, I understand."
"Good!" Yi Ping nodded in satisfaction: "So, if you were given another chance, do you know what to say?"
Lin Youbai felt immense humiliation, but in front of a martial arts master, she still stammered, "I like mature men, and I hope you can become my husband."
"Alright, my lady!" Yi Ping's eyebrows and eyes lit up, and he smiled like a lapdog: "Since you've said so, my lady, then I have no choice but to forgive your previous ignorance!"
Yun Shou: "..."
The onlookers, martial artists: "..."
Lin Youbai: "..."
So, the Lin family steward, who was standing to the side, happily called out to the son-in-law.
After a moment of silence, Lin Youbai smiled, wrapped one arm around Yi Ping's arm, and affectionately rested her head on his shoulder.
They all achieved a happy and bright future.
Only Yun Shou was unhappy.
"I originally thought I would only have to deal with one Xuanwu today, but I didn't expect to encounter other turtles before Xuanwu."
Damn it! What bad luck!
"I take back my previous thought; this turtle-man has nothing in common with me."
Yun Shouqi's teeth itched with anger.
Although Yun Jiu was once regarded as a star by the Water Spirit Clan.
Although when he was weak and vulnerable, he was humiliated by those hateful women.
But he's never been that cowardly!
"I'm giving you a chance to turn things around, and I'm giving you the cultivation of a martial arts master, not so you can go and win back the woman who abandoned you!"
Then, a few minutes later.
Yi Ping and Lin Youbai came out together.
He happily introduced to Yun Shou, "Senior, look, I succeeded!"
"Oh." Yun Shou said expressionlessly, "Well, congratulations then."
Then he turned and left, leaving behind a single sentence.
"Since you've done what you wanted, I'll take back the martial arts cultivation you just had. Well, I wish you two a long and happy marriage."
Instantly, Yi Ping's internal energy level dropped, and even his increased physical strength declined, returning him to the level he had been at ten minutes ago—that of a mid-to-high-level second-rate martial artist.
Yi Ping was stunned. Why did the senior withdraw his power?
He seems to have... displeased his senior?
But, but, he was looked down upon by that woman before, but now he has made that woman respect him and obediently treat him as her husband. Is this wrong?
Yi Ping couldn't understand it.
Suddenly, he felt his arm go empty and his shoulder feel light.
Turning to him, Lin Youbai said seriously, "Now that I think about it, we really aren't a good match... You're too old."
Yi Ping: "..."
Outside the building, the martial artists who had just watched the spectacle burst into joyful laughter.
