Chapter 97 - Movement Technique (1/2)
Seeing Feng Yuxiang's shocked face, Xiao Hua smiled and thought to herself, 'If you are shocked about something so insignificant, you might die from a heart attack after you see Brother Yuan's other talents…'
Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang pondered to herself, 'Did the Young Master really memorize all of the steps after watching it just once? No… that's not possible. There's no way someone from the Lower Heavens can possibly have such a shocking level of talent. However, the Young Master has a Bloodline that's above the Divine-grade, and his origins are not clear, so he might actually be someone from the upper heavens who decided to come to the Lower Heavens for training, hence why there's a Spirit King following him.'
'However, even if that's the case… How can a Spirit King remain in the Lower Heavens without being punished by the Heavens with Heavenly Tribulations? Maybe she has a treasure that hides her presence? But I have never heard of such a treasure like this before…'
”Are you okay, Feng Feng?” Yuan suddenly called out to her. ”If you're tired, we can continue this later.”
He wondered if she was tired after that impressive demonstration.
”Eh? N-No! I am fine. Let me show you the movements again, Young Master.”
Feng Yuxiang took a deep breath before she began displaying the Vermilion Phoenix Dominating the Heavens movement technique again.
Meanwhile, Yuan stared at her with intensive eyes, looking as though he was trying to stare a hole in Feng Yuxiang's body.
'What an intensive gaze!' Feng Yuxiang's body trembled slightly after feeling Yuan's gaze, feeling as though there was nothing she could hide from him and almost like she was n.a.k.e.d before his powerful gaze.
Many minutes later, Feng Yuxiang finished her demonstrating the movement technique for the second time.
”What do you think, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang asked him afterward.
”I think I have the gist of it. Can you do it again? This time, I'll try to follow your movements.” Yuan said as he approached her.
”You want to do the movement technique with me?” Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows, and she continued, ”I don't mean to be disrespectful, Young Master, but even if you memorize all of the movements, executing the movements is an entirely different matter. Although you may get the first couple steps correct, everything after that will be a mess— at least that's how learning movement techniques usually happen.”
”Well, even if that's the case, how else am I going to get better at it besides practice?” Yuan said to her.
”I guess so…” Feng Yuxiang nodded.
”Whenever you are ready, Young Master,” she said to him a moment later.
”Go ahead.”
After hearing his words, Feng Yuxiang began using her movement techniques again, and Yuan tried his best to follow her movements.
”...”
Feng Yuxiang was dumbfounded when Yuan copied her movements flawlessly, and although his movements grew stiff and awkward towards the end, he still managed to execute the movements without any mistakes.
This blew Feng Yuxiang's mind wide open. How can a mere mortal at the Spirit Warrior realm learn her— Vermilion Phoenix Dominating the Heavens movement technique so quickly? She'd only displayed the movement technique twice!
”You were right, Feng Feng. Although the beginning was simple and easy to follow, it grew increasingly exhausting and difficult to move towards the end. However, I should get it right after a few more tries,” Yuan said to her with an innocent face, unaware that what he'd just done was incredibly shocking and unbelievable.
”Uh… I… Err…” Feng Yuxiang was at a loss for words.
”Hehe…”
A small chuckle could be heard from Xiao Hua who watched the entire thing from beginning to end.
”Xiao Hua told you not to underestimate Brother Yuan, Vermilion Phoenix. He's a prodigy who can learn Divine-grade techniques in only a few hours and even learn profound techniques just by watching others,” Xiao Hua said to her with a smile on her face.
”...”
Although this is Feng Yuxiang's first time seeing Xiao Hua smile, she was more shocked by what Xiao Hua said.
'The Young Master can learn Divine-grade techniques within hours? What kind of heaven-defying talent is that?' Feng Yuxiang stared at Yuan with a dazed expression on her face.
Sometime later, after resting until he could move again, Yuan began to execute the movement technique again.
This time, it appeared even smoother and more accurate than previously, almost like his experience with it had leaped by at least a few years between his first and second attempt!
Feng Yuxiang's jaw dropped upon seeing Yuan's improvement. Just how ridiculously talented is her Young Master? He could even put the talented geniuses from the upper heavens to shame with his tremendous talents!
However, Xiao Hua suddenly said to her, ”If you think that's the most shocking part about Brother Yuan, just wait until you see him do 'that'.”
”That? What do you mean 'that', Senior?” Feng Yuxiang asked with her interest piqued.
