Several times in a row, Wen Nongnong's attacks missed their mark, and she couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes, which made her a little impatient.
"How did you do that?" she asked breathlessly. She had always thought her skills were pretty good, but she hadn't even managed to touch the hem of the other person's clothes. It was really too pathetic.
"When you attacked me just now, did you pay attention to where I was standing?" Compared to her panting, Gu Linchao remained calm and composed, his breathing even.
"Underfoot?" Wen Nongnong was stunned.
Gu Linchao didn't explain, but instead demonstrated it to her.
Wen Nongnong's gaze fell on his feet.
Only then did she realize that his footsteps were not chaotic, but rather light and skillful. With each step he took, he could precisely avoid her attacks, as if it were a special kind of footwork.
Upon seeing this, she suddenly realized something and exclaimed with delight, "If I use Your Highness's footwork, will you be unable to dodge my attack?"
"Give it a try." Gu Linchao was slightly impressed by her quick thinking. He smiled encouragingly at her.
Wen Nong Nong regained her confidence, picked up her stick, and launched an attack on him.
She used the footwork that Gu Linchao had just taught her.
At first, she was a little unfamiliar with it, but after two sessions, she was able to use it with ease, and it was a perfect match for her stick technique.
"Since you lack internal energy, when you encounter a formidable opponent, do not get entangled with them. Instead, try to find their weakness and defeat them in one move."
Gu Linchao explained to her while dodging her attacks.
Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Wen Nongnong's eyes, and she suddenly asked, "Your Highness, is it like this?"
Before Gu Linchao could react, the girl suddenly used the stick for support, leaped up lightly, and kicked at him.
Gu Linchao was startled and dodged.
Wen Nongnong's kick missed, but she did not give up. She was extremely fast, picked up the stick, and chased after him.
Gu Linchao was able to dodge her attacks at first, but later, because their footwork was synchronized, they bumped into each other.
Wen Nongnong stopped the stick in time to avoid hitting him, but because she was running too fast, she bumped into his arms.
Caught off guard, Gu Linchao was knocked backward by her impact. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and braced his heel against a tree trunk behind him, stopping her momentum.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The two looked at each other, both momentarily stunned.
After a moment, Wen Nong Nong blinked, looked at the man with a cold expression, and whispered, "Your Highness, are you alright? I didn't mean to."
Gu Linchao came to his senses, his palms slightly sweaty. He pushed her away a little and said calmly, "It's not your fault, I'm fine."
"Oh." Wen Nongnong held the stick, but her eyes secretly glanced at him. "Then, Your Highness, can you teach me qinggong (lightness skill)?"
Gu Linchao suppressed his flustered emotions and said gently, "Lightness skill cannot be mastered overnight. You don't have internal energy, so you need to cultivate internal energy first. Once you have internal energy, then you can practice lightness skill."
Wen Nongnong nodded, seemingly understanding. "Then how do you cultivate internal energy?"
Gu Linchao entered the pavilion, picked up a book from the stone table and handed it to her, "Take a look at this internal energy cultivation manual first, and if you don't understand it, come and ask me again."
Wen Nongnong took it as if it were a treasure, then flipped through it and saw that it was indeed a manual of internal martial arts. She was overjoyed.
