Chapter 25: 3rd day
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia was stunned and stood there speechless.
"Haha, just kidding, nephew, don't take it seriously. Let's go, come with me to find Yang Guo first, and then I'll teach you martial arts together."
Qian Jin said something, and then took Cheng Yaojia to find Yang Guo.
Cheng Yaojia followed behind Qian Jin, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
Since joining the Quanzhen Sect, she had long been accustomed to the seriousness of her elders, so Qian Jin's way of speaking to her now made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Although my uncle was joking, shouldn't I also prepare a New Year's gift for him?
After all, her martial uncle was planning to teach her a superior martial art!
Wouldn't it be inappropriate if she didn't express any reaction at all?
However, I don't know anything about my martial uncle, so what kind of gift should I give him?
Lost in thought, I arrived at Yang Guo's residence in the blink of an eye, and saw him practicing the Quanzhen Sword Technique from afar.
She had watched Yang Guo and Lu Qingdu's duel at the martial arts tournament and had some understanding of Yang Guo's comprehension of the Quanzhen Sword Technique.
It's only been a few days since I last saw Yang Guo, and I've already noticed that he's made great progress since then.
She's even practicing swordsmanship during the Lunar New Year? Compared to this junior brother's level of effort, she's far behind.
"Guo'er, come and greet your Senior Sister Cheng."
Qian Jin beckoned Yang Guo over.
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately stopped practicing his swordplay, then walked over, bowed to Cheng Yaojia, and said:
Yang Guo met Senior Sister Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia quickly returned the greeting, but it also left her with many doubts.
She always thought that Yang Guo's ability to practice martial arts so diligently at such a young age must be due to the extremely strict discipline he received from his Uncle Qian.
Strangely, after Yang Guo bowed to him, he never paid his respects to Uncle Qian. What was going on?
"Master, I have been practicing the Quanzhen Sword Technique diligently these past few days, and I feel that I have made great progress."
"If I were to fight Lu Qingdu again, I'm confident I could defeat him even without using the 'One Sword Transforms into Three Pure Ones' technique."
Seeing that Yang Guo started showing off as soon as they met, Qian Jin's face darkened, and he said:
"Hmph! You good-for-nothing, you're only better than Lu Qingdu and you're already gloating over yourself."
"When your martial arts skills surpass those of the great hero Guo Jing, then come and show off to me."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo chuckled awkwardly twice and said:
"Uncle Guo's martial arts are so powerful, I originally had no hope of beating him."
"But now, with my master's guidance, I'm sure one day my martial arts will be able to rival Uncle Guo's."
"Stop flattering me. In the future, you will not only be able to compete with your Uncle Guo in martial arts, but also become a great hero like him."
"Master, I will definitely not let you down."
Hearing their conversation, Cheng Yaojia was filled with shock.
She knew Guo Jing better than anyone else; his current martial arts skills were even comparable to those of the Five Greats back then.
Uncle Qian's requirement for Yang Guo was that he be able to compete with Guo Jing. That's way too high!
Yet Yang Guo still felt it was perfectly reasonable to have such high expectations.
Most importantly, she discovered that Yang Guo could speak to Uncle Qian as casually as if they were old friends.
This was something she could never have imagined.
At least when her master, Sun Bu'er, spoke to her with a stern face, she would absolutely not dare to say anything out of line.
After Qian Jin finished instructing Yang Guo, he saw Cheng Yaojia still standing there in a daze, so he smiled and said:
"Guo'er, I brought your Senior Sister Cheng here today because I intend to teach you the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique."
This palm technique is the most advanced palm technique in our Quanzhen Sect, but it is also the most difficult to master. You two must work hard to learn it.
Cheng Yaojia had been a member of the Quanzhen Sect for many years and had long heard of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm technique. Now that she heard that Qian Jin was going to teach her this palm technique, she was overjoyed.
He quickly bowed respectfully to Qian Jin and said:
"Disciple Cheng Yaojia thanks Uncle-Master."
However, Yang Guo seemed much more casual, and even asked with an expectant look:
"Master, since this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique is the most powerful palm technique in our Quanzhen Sect, how does it compare to Uncle Guo's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin glared and said:
"You want to know?"
"think."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"If you want to know, just wait until you've mastered this palm technique and then go and have a match with your Uncle Guo."
"Oh? That means we'll have to wait a long time."
Yang Guo muttered something, looking disappointed.
Seeing this, Qian Jin smiled and turned to Cheng Yaojia beside him, saying:
"Haha, my little apprentice is naughty, please don't take offense, Junior Nephew Cheng."
Cheng Yaojia was startled upon hearing this and quickly replied respectfully:
"This disciple dares not."
"Haha, Nephew Cheng, there's no need for that. I don't like these formalities, so even my disciple Yang Guo is quite casual with me."
You don't have to always treat me like your senior apprentice; just treat me like a good friend.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia suddenly understood why Yang Guo could interact with Uncle Qian so casually.
Having such a good master, one would truly feel sorry for him if one did not diligently practice martial arts.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel envious of Yang Guo.
During this period, Qian Jin went to Ma Yu every day to pester Ma Yu to teach him the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique, so his progress in this technique was extremely fast.
We have now reached the third realm and made some progress.
Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm (Slightly Accomplished): 27%
This is also why Qian Jin chose to teach Yang Guo and Cheng Yaojia the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm technique.
During this period, Qian Jin discovered that the higher the level of martial arts he had mastered, the faster Yang Guo would learn it when he taught it to him.
Yang Guo's comprehension is far superior to Cheng Yaojia's.
A day later, Yang Guo had already grasped the basics of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique, but Cheng Yaojia still found it somewhat difficult to comprehend.
Therefore, Qian Jin entrusted Yang Guo with the task of continuing to teach Cheng Yaojia the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm.
"Guo'er, you have now mastered the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique. If you want to improve even faster, the best way is to find someone else to teach you."
If you can explain this Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm Technique very well, it naturally means that you have already gained a deeper understanding of this palm technique.
Yang Guo chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"Master, don't worry! Leave Senior Sister Cheng to me. I will definitely be able to teach her the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Palm within three days."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Don't speak too confidently. I will come back in three days to test your mastery of this palm technique."
