”What would happen if I tossed up this stone about one meter high,” Hartley asked.
Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes. ”It would fall to the ground” she confidently stated.
”Are you sure?” Hartley had a mocking smile.
”Of course, What's going on Hartley? you brought me all the way out here to ask if a stone would fall to the ground?”
It was a sunny but windy day and Hartley had carried Ruo deep into the trees where there some open space. After a few successful fierce beast hunts Hartley decided that she was ready to strengthen her body.
Hartley walked over and kissed her on the lips and said ”watch”.
He took a step back and let go of the stone in his right hand, the stone then slowly floated upwards and stopped.
”Holy Matriarch, How?” Zhi Ruo had her mouth wide open . Hartley laughed and the stone fell back into his hand.
”You are the first and only person I have showed my powers outside of battle Ruo” said Hartley.
Ruo was still mouthing the word ”How” with an incredulous look on her face.
”Its only gravity Ruo, I can control it within a certain range, and I want you to train your body with gravity weighing you down. It will make you improve your techniques in a very short amount of time.”
Ruo said nothing and just stood there looking at Hartley in amazement
”Ruo I think techniques and application of techniques are more important than realms, the person at a higher realm has more power but if that person can't land a hit with that power it is useless.”
As Hartley started to lecture, Zhi Ruo was paying rapt attention with fascination apparent on her face.
”The bandit leader we encountered four days back was a 3rd layer xiantian and Qin Li is only a 2nd layer xiantian and yet the bandit leader was wounded almost losing an arm and resorted to fleeing in panic for his life. Sometimes combat is not about who is stronger, but more about who is smarter, more creative and more prepared.”
Zhi Ruo let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. There was silence for a short while
”What should I do?” she then asked.
