Ten days later, Xiao Gui had actually grown taller. He seemed to have become more composed, and Xiao Li could tell that his gait had changed.
If she had any memory, she would know that Xiao Gui's lower body was more stable, which is what makes martial arts practitioners different.
"Sister, are you scared being home alone?"
Xiao Li shook her head, "I lock the yard every night, it's quite safe here."
When Xiaoli bought the house, she took these factors into consideration, because the area was safe and secure.
Xiao Gui was relieved. He was still quite worried about his sister, who lived alone as a girl, and her safety was the top priority.
He thought that once he made money, he would buy a maid to serve his sister and keep her company.
"Xiao Gui, how have you been these past ten days? Are you getting used to it?"
Xiao Gui became excited; Boss Feng had already taken him on as an apprentice.
"Sister, Master is so kind. He taught me a set of boxing techniques. Oh, and he said he can teach you if you want to learn it too. It can be used for self-defense."
Xiao Li was quite surprised that Boss Feng was actually willing to teach her.
She recalled the fleeting image that had crossed her mind that day.
"Then show me a set of boxing techniques."
Xiao Gui started practicing boxing in the courtyard. Sure enough, with each move Xiao Gui made, the boxing techniques became clearer in Xiao Li's mind.
This is the Vajra Fist. Xiao Li instantly knew the name of this fist technique. At the same time, a palm technique also appeared, which was the Blazing Palm.
Xiao Li felt very familiar with the palm technique as soon as she saw it. She quickly mastered the technique, as if she had practiced it a thousand times.
"How was it? Isn't it amazing? My master said I'm very talented, and I mastered the essence of this boxing style in just ten days."
Xiao Li nodded; he was indeed quite impressive.
The two talked for a while longer before going to sleep.
Xiao Li returned to her room, constantly recalling the palm technique in her mind. She tried to practice it, and her movements were incredibly smooth, but she felt that something was missing.
What she didn't know was that what was missing was the mental cultivation method; this palm technique was only perfect when used in conjunction with the mental cultivation method.
After practicing for a while, Xiaoli went to bed to sleep, and in her dream, her body moved involuntarily.
A wisp of energy slowly gathers in the meridians, and this energy travels along the eight extraordinary meridians all the way to the dantian.
Gradually, more and more energy gathers, eventually forming a vortex that swirls continuously in the dantian, which gradually expands and stabilizes.
Finally, those vortexes transformed into true energy and remained in Xiao Li's dantian. Overnight, Xiao Li gained internal strength. If others had seen this, they would have been utterly astonished.
Xiao Gui left the next day, and Xiao Li began to practice the Blazing Palm. With the help of her true energy, its power increased significantly.
She felt something was missing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
When Xiao Gui returned for the second time, Xiao Li taught him the Vajra Fist.
"Sister, is this a martial art?"
Xiao Li nodded. "Right? Today there was an old man begging in front of my house. I gave him three steamed buns, and he casually took this boxing manual and gave it to me."
Xiao Gui was astonished. This was a precious boxing technique, and it was just given away so casually?
He looked at his sister and thought that it must be because she was too kind that good people are rewarded.
"Sister, I will definitely cultivate diligently."
Xiao Li nodded. "You need to protect yourself first, then you can protect your sister, understand?"
Xiao Gui nodded emphatically. He remembered and would definitely not let his sister worry.
Unbeknownst to her, Xiao Li had become a master, capable of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops with ease.
One night, Li Erchuan, a street thug, sneaked into Xiao Li's house. He had already scouted the place.
There was only one woman at home in this household; her brother had just left today and wouldn't be back for ten days.
Li Erchuan secretly climbed over the wall and came to the eaves.
"My little beauty, your brother is here."
He was burning with desire; the woman was exceptionally beautiful, and he had fallen for her at first sight on the street that day.
So he followed her all the way and found out where Xiaoli lived. Later, he came to propose marriage, but was rejected. That's when he decided to do this shady business.
Li Erchuan took out a long copper wire, poked it a few times in the crack of the door, and the door opened.
He gently opened a crack in the door, and just as he was about to go in, Xiao Li kicked him out into the yard.
"Ouch!"
Li Erchuan screamed in agony; his chest ached terribly.
He endured the pain and quickly crawled towards the courtyard gate, struggled to open it, and staggered away.
Xiao Li didn't chase after her. This little scumbag had even injured her lungs with a kick. She'd be bedridden for the rest of her life and wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
