"Do you know why I know this?"
This information was so shocking that Liu Wentao was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"Well...I don't know."
Xu Xianxian tilted her head, thought for a few seconds, and then pursed her lips.
If she knew the reason, would the case have been discovered by Liu Wentao?
"Xianxian, you've only just entered the martial arts realm, so you might not understand many things." Liu Wentao looked at her solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Any martial arts school has distinct characteristics. As long as you make a move, you'll leave traces on others, and the Health Supervision Bureau will naturally be able to easily detect it. Unless you possess multiple secret techniques to falsify your origins. The Inch Snake, as the core form of the Shuttle Fist, is so obvious that it's impossible for it not to be detected."
"Don't think you can do things without anyone noticing. You're still so young, and you killed Wu Qianqiu, a second-level martial artist." He paused for a few seconds, glanced at his apprentice who was acting cute beside him, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Such a huge gap, you will naturally be targeted by those with ulterior motives."
"Master, what do you mean..." Xu Xianxian's eyes immediately filled with tears when she heard what the other party said, like a helpless little rabbit, "Are you going to sell me?"
There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
What should she do if this cheap master also becomes interested in her secret?
"You're my true disciple. If I were to betray you, why would I be telling you this?" Liu Wentao was speechless. This little girl was incredibly clever, actually saying such things to his face. "I know what you're thinking, so I'll be frank with you now. The downsides of betraying you far outweigh the benefits I'll gain."
"Then Master, what do you mean...?"
Xu Xianxian still looked at her master pitifully, fearing that he would change his mind and sell her out.
Although her current strength is good, she has no chance of winning against her master. From her daily observations, Liu Wentao's shuttle fist, even if it has not reached the great perfection, is at least at the seventh or eighth level.
"I'm old." Liu Wentao said seriously, staring at Xu Xianxian's little face: "Don't laugh at me! I'm talking to you seriously, Xianxian, at what age do you think a martial artist reaches peak age?"
"Fifty?"
Xu Xianxian thought for a moment before asking tentatively.
The life expectancy of modern people is mostly between 60 and 80 years old. The average person's physical functions reach their peak before the age of 30, then begin to decline after entering middle age, and it is impossible to regain the vitality of 18 years old.
Even if a martial artist is physically strong, he will definitely start to decline after the age of 50. His muscles will start to relax, cell metabolism will become slow, and his physical strength will decrease year by year.
"No, it's forty." Liu Wentao looked at Xu Xianxian, his eyes inexplicably filled with a sense of vicissitudes. "My talent is limited, and I no longer have the opportunity to break through the limit. As soon as I reach a certain age, my strength will begin to decline."
"And now, apart from you, neither my daughter nor Xiaosheng can bear this responsibility. In a martial arts world where strength is respected, you are my most perfect successor."
"Master, I've only been in the martial arts school for a week, and you're not even forty yet, and you're telling me all this. Isn't it too early?" Hearing that she was going to be chosen, Xu Xianxian felt a huge pressure, shaking her head like a rattle. "I'm not very talented and knowledgeable, so I'm afraid I can't handle this important task. Master, you should ask someone more capable."
Xu Xianxian just wants to come to the martial arts gym every day to slack off, get free food, drinks and allowances. If she really has to take on any responsibilities and practice for the rise of the martial arts gym, her mentality will explode.
"Your master's wife and I have considered this carefully. Your talent and bloodline are so outstanding that you can revive our Shuttle Fist school."
Liu Wentao shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"What? Talent is nothing, but what about bloodline?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Xu Xianxian asked back in confusion.
"...your sister Bai Zhen'er is a genetic mutant, so she's making rapid progress in all aspects, a true prodigy. She's even been noticed by the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall headquarters, and will be going to Central Province for further training and development next year." Liu Wentao couldn't help but smile as he spoke. "But others only focus on your sister, ignoring you who lurks in the shadows. Less than a week after entering the sect, you were able to kill a second-level martial artist. Your bloodline genes are no worse than your sister's."
He originally thought he had just gotten lucky and found a treasure, but he didn't expect that this was not just a treasure, but a divine weapon! He was originally worried about the future of the shuttle fist, but now it really came true!
This time, the Shuttle House really became the king of finding bargains.
As for why she was able to improve her martial arts so quickly in just a few days, there is only one explanation: Xu Xianxian possesses powerful blood genes, but they have not awakened yet.
It is normal for Liu Wentao to think this way. After all, no one would have thought that Xu Xianxian, carrying a hairpin that absorbs the resentment of others, can strengthen herself to the limit.
"What...! I'm not... I didn't..."
Hearing that her master misunderstood her, Xu Xianxian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She knows herself best, so she naturally knows that she has no bloodline genes, but has simply relied on the rabbit hairpin to get promoted.
Otherwise, with Xu Xianxian's original physical fitness, even if she practiced for ten years, she might not be able to reach the first level of the shuttle fist!
But Liu Wentao didn't give Xu Xianxian a chance to refute, and continued to ask: "Tell the truth to the master, what level have you reached with your shuttle fist?"
