Chapter 29 - 29 Building Bridges (Seeking Continuation and Support)_1



Bronze Association, martial training field.

The sun was scorching, as if the morning’s light rain had been completely forgotten and now evaporated.

Amidst the sound of fists, dust rose.

Bang, bang!

Pei Jinye’s two punches were both blocked.

Li Xiaoyin looked surprised, “Do you also train regularly? Your strength today has increased a lot compared to yesterday You really are a monster.”

Pei Jinye laughed wryly, “Sister Xiao, it’s rare for me to improve even a tiny bit, and I still can’t lay a finger on you.”

Li Xiaoyin also laughed wryly, “Come on, think about how long I’ve been practicing and how long you have.”

With that, she tossed over a clean towel.

She also pulled out one for herself and wiped her cheeks.

“With your current level, you should have the ability to protect yourself against the average person, so I can be at ease when I leave.”

Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised, “Sister Xiao, you’re leaving?”

Li Xiaoyin nodded, “I took two months off to train my blood energy, and now it’s time to go back.”

Pei Jinye hesitated, “Sister Xiao, where do plan to go?”

“I’m at Dragon City martial arts university.”

“Sheesh, a top institution indeed, Sister Xiao is really something.”

“Stop with the flattery. With your potential and this kind of diligence, any top university will be no problem for you next year,” Li Xiaoyin threw down the towel, “Your Power Practice is almost solid now, and you should be able to start Exfoliate soon.”

“Exfoliate?”

“After Power Practice comes Exfoliate, then Tendon Forging. These are all part of the Body Technique path. Even though you’re Psychic Class, practicing these will also do you no harm,” explained Li Xiaoyin patiently.

She then smiled, “Given your temperament, you probably won’t provoke any Transcendent forces. If you really encounter one, just go find Teacher Chang for help. He can handle the general cases, and anything he can’t, you probably won’t be able to provoke either.”

Pei Jinye’s smile was quite strained.

Thinking he was reluctant to part, Li Xiaoyin felt a bit touched, “Meeting you here must have been fated. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you, my junior brother, will achieve in the future. Also, I’ve found you a sparring partner—do you remember Tang Huoyang, the guy we met last time?”

Pei Jinye nodded, vaguely remembering.

Li Xiaoyin explained, “He’s a year older than you. He was admitted to Jiangnan Martial Arts University, but repeated a year for his first love. Still, that’s in the past Leave it be. This guy’s Transcendent awakening is similar to physical body strengthening, and he also needs to spar with others to keep improving. You need an equally matched opponent. He doesn’t usually come to the association, his family has mines, and he’s generous. Today, I’m hosting to introduce the two of you.”

Pei Jinye nodded, “Thank you for going to the trouble, Sister Xiao.”

Li Xiaoyin waved her hand dismissively, “Sister Xiao owes you big time for the help you’ve given her. So this favor I owe you is no small thing.”

She then took out a sealed leather pouch from her bag.

“Inside is a Psychic Class technique, take it.”

“Sister Xiao, this!” Pei Jinye was genuinely surprised.

If Psychic Class techniques were cheap, he would have gotten one a long time ago.

Li Xiaoyin handed it over without another word, “You don’t realize the importance of Sister Xiao to me. I can tell you that Sister Xiao is a good person, a great person with the world in her heart. At first, I suspected you were associated with Sister Xiao. Now that I think about it, Sister Xiao probably didn’t want your gem to remain hidden, so she pushed you forward. You haven’t disappointed her.”

Over much persuasion, she made Pei Jinye accept the gift of the technique.

“Sister Xiao, let’s just talk facts—you’ve already helped me too much,” Pei Jinye said, his expression complex.

Having experienced all that has happened with the Old Gods Association, his heart had turned as cold as an iceberg. But now

“Stop being so dramatic. A man shouldn’t act like this, so just take it. Train hard, not just for Sister Xiao and myself but for you to make something of yourself!”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. If you ever need me in the future, Sister Xiao, just command me,” Pei Jinye said earnestly.

Li Xiaoyin took him to a nearby restaurant.

Tang Huoyang was ordering dishes and immediately came up with a smile, “Sister Xiao Yong.”

He also nodded politely to Pei Jinye and stretched out his hand, “Tang Huoyang—you can call me Old Tang or Brother Yang.”

“Pei Jinye, Brother Yang, nice to meet you.”

“Haha, nice to meet you indeed.”

Li Xiaoyin gestured with a smile, “You two are around the same age. Go on, mingle. I brought you here to get you two acquainted. Tang Huoyang, don’t you always talk about defeating unbeatable opponents? Well, here’s one for you.”

Tang Huoyang’s face flushed, “Jestings don’t count as reality, they really don’t.”

Pei Jinye chuckled softly, “This Old Tang is quite interesting.”

Tang Huoyang seemed to know Li Xiaoyin quite well, “Sister Xiao Yong, have you visited Sister Han these past few days?”

“Had a phone call, why?” Li Xiaoyin looked over.

Tang Huoyang hesitated, “It’s just that before, didn’t she meet with Lan Feng twice? And now it’s been revealed that Lan Feng is a member of the Old Gods Association, so she’s been confined to her house.”

Li Xiaoyin shook her head, “Although the Old Gods Association’s aim towards her isn’t clear, it could very well be about her genetics. It’s good that she has someone protecting her at home.”

Tang Huoyang sighed, not saying anything more.

Pei Jinye continued to quietly eat, offering no comments.

“Old Pei, have you reached Exfoliate in your body cultivation?”

“Not yet, ready to start Exfoliating.”

“Heh heh, so that’s how it is.”

Suddenly, Tang Huoyang laughed mischievously.

Li Xiaoyin teased as she explained to Pei Jinye, “He has reached Exfoliate. So he thinks he’s got you beat and that you two should spar when you’re free, lest a certain someone be under the wrong impression.”

Pei Jinye laughed lightly.

But Tang Huoyang was startled, “Sister Xiao Yong, that doesn’t sound right. Are you saying that even after I’ve Exfoliated, I still can’t beat Old Pei?”

Li Xiaoyin just smiled without a word.

Tang Huoyang grew even more curious.

“Old Pei, do you have some kind of unique technique?”

Pei Jinye shook his head with a bemused smile, “Sister Xiao is overestimating me.”

Tang Huoyang didn’t buy it.

Knowing Li Xiaoyin as well as he did, anyone she valued couldn’t be just anyone!

“Old Pei, how about we practice tonight?”

“Sure, I have no problem with that.”

An hour later.

On the martial arts field.

Li Xiaoyin watched as the two changed into their martial robes and began to spar.

Tang Huoyang’s first punch was purely the power of Power Practice, his movements creating a wave with his sash, his arms like a taut crossbow ready to shoot.

“Bang!”

However, that punch was firmly blocked by Pei Jinye.

Tang Huoyang grinned, “Old Pei, you really are tough! But watch out, I’m going to get serious now.”

“Come on!”

Pei Jinye was not the least bit intimidated.

Tang Huoyang paused, shifted his feet, and released a straight punch.

As his blood energy surged, the muscles on his body slightly bulged.

Pei Jinye felt a stir in his heart.

So this is Exfoliate?

He had heard a brief introduction from Li Xiaoyin in the afternoon. Exfoliate tightens the entire body’s skin; the legend of being impervious to knives and guns was a bit exaggerated, but when cultivated to a profound degree, it indeed had such an effect.

“Bang!”

The two collided, and Pei Jinye raised his knee, landing a knee strike.

Tang Huoyang laughed out loud, his leg muscles taut, blocking it off.

Under the moonlight, they exchanged blows frequently.

One practiced Power Practice; the other, Exfoliate.

For a while, it was impossible to determine who was stronger or weaker.
