Chapter 79 (1/2)
Su Ru said, ”I'll lend you the book for several days But don't let anyone know about it, because it belongs to the Lady!”
”I've already noted down all of it” Chu Li smiled and passed the book back to her, ”Thank you Chief, and to the Lady too”
Su Ru reached out and took the book back, keeping it in her sleeves, ”Ah, I forgot that you have a photographic memory The Lady asked me to convey to you that cultivation of the body should only be done pro the Sentient Menace move”
”Of course” Chu Li nodded slowly
He pictured the Art of White Tiger again, the six postures of the tigers vividly presenting in his mind
But this time, he used his Oe of invisible energy out of nowhere, just like countless discrete needles piercing into his body
After these needles had pierced through his flesh, his body started experiencing changes Although es could not escape the Oly dense and coed from his body
Su Ru saw hiain She shook her head
It was always frustrating to co the Art of White Tiger before, but it was in avail She could not even ination of the pictures, and once she had closed her eyes, all she saas darkness
Chu Li suddenly opened his eyes, the spark in his eyes flashi+ng once then vanished
”Hoas it?” Su Ru asked
Chu Li shook his head, ”It was a little weird”
”Why was it?”
”It felt like so,” Chu Li locked his eyebrows and lowered his voice, ”This Art of White Tiger manual, it's incomplete, isn't it?”
”You could make out that?” Su Ru was surprised
Chu Li said, ”Don't tell me, that it's really incomplete?”
”Yes, this is only the first half of it” Su Ru nodded and said, ”Everyone out there thought that the Art of White Tiger was lost forever To be able recover the first volume was already considered very lucky We had never heard of the second volume”
Chu Li creased his brows
Su Ru said, ”The Lady said that this voluly powerful and would be sufficient for you to cultivate the Sentient Menace She told me that there was no need to seek for the other half”
Chu Li was silent
Su Ru rolled her eyes and said, ”What? You still want to look for the second volume?”
Chu Li said, ”Without the second volume, I feel insecure”
Many ancient techniques were treacherous to learn and have hidden traps all over them For some of the better ones, there could be an obscure sentence at the very end If you did not notice it, you could be steered away and ultimately fail in its cultivation While s, which were extremely hard to make out Some of the worse ones did not even mention any hidden information It was not recorded on paper but was only passed down orally froeneration It was a precaution to prevent outsiders froh the Nan Zheng barbarian folk were straightforward in their ways, but still, they should not be underestimated, the precautionary traps could be there
”Geez, Chu Li” Su Ru shook her head, ”That's the problem with smart people, always full of doubts!”
Chu Li sle news at all?”
Su Ru shook her head, ”Nope”
Chu Li creased his brows He was silent
Su Ru said, ”Things like these are always hard to investigate Just think about it, if someone had obtained a secret technique, would he tell somebody else about it? Besides, that certain someone only possesses a half of the art, just like you, would he dare to cultivate it? If he doesn't, then hoould people ever find out that he has that second volume?”
Chu Li shook his head, ”Not necessarily”
The Art of White Tiger was very mythical If someone had obtained this ancient technique, chances were that they could not resist the teht be, they would attee teaain and said, ”Whatever it was, I did not hear any news about it”
Chu Li said, ”Then, who in the martial arts world is well known for cultivation of the body?If that guy had cultivated the Art of White Tiger, it would be hard for him to maintain a low profile”
”Body cultivation is arduous, nowadays there were only few” Su Ru creased her brows and thought of it, she picked on her fingers and said, ”Let , 'Iron Fist' Little Bai and 'Three-Eyed Dragon' Cheng Wenhui, there should be only these three who are famous with it The rest didn't make the cut”
Chu Li proclaimed, ”The hidden technique should be in the hands of one of these three”
”Your ione wild!” Su Ru shook her head and stopped s
Chu Li spoke, ”Do you have intel on the three of them?”
Su Ru watched how serious his face was, and replied, ”Alright, let me retrieve theave her a fist salute
Su Ru rolled her eyes and sloalked away Before long, she returned with three notebooks, and handed theo!”
Chu Li took the the contents of the books, and the newfound inforave the books back to Su Ru, and said, ”Are they all assassins?”
”Body cultivators are skilled at killing Plus, the cultivation requires lots of money If one was not born in a rich family, he or she could only rely on criminal ways to fund themselves Whatever they do, they would be able to make a fortune out of it!”
”That's true” Chu Li nodded
Body cultivators and martial artists differ in their appearance The latter would look htly Especially those who had achieved innate mastery, their temples and the top of their head would appear different
For body cultivators, they could not cultivate their inner strength, but only their physical form From the outside, they may look unhealthy, like a patient with malnutrition That was the fact that they were especially hard to expect, as their appearance would easily deceive you,you believe that they are not a threat
On top of that, a martial artist would typically look down on a body cultivator, thinking that they were far more superior than their counterparts
Body cultivators had lightning speed and ith, but the potentials of their poere liressed But at the earlier stages they would have the upper hand over their counterparts If people like them had mastered a skill that would kill soerous, and it would be difficult to defend against them
”The second half of theWenhui's hands” Chu Li said in a low tone
”Why would you say so?” Su Ru smiled
She did not buy his word at all It was merely a speculation It was foolish of him to think that it would be so easy to predict who had possession of the secondcultivates his head, while Little Bai cultivates his hands Only this Cheng Wenhui is different, he has quick speed and th There's not one part of his body which stands out, so by this rationale, he should have cultivated the Art of White Tiger”
”What if he had cultivated so else instead?”
”I've seen all the secret techniques in the Hall of Martial Arts Of all the body cultivation techniques, they all hardly pose any threats to a martials arts master So, indeed body cultivation is arduous But for this Cheng Wenhui, his body cultivation technique was far more powerful than all the other techniques I've read about, so there's a high chance that it could be the Art of White Tiger!”
”Alright, alright Let's say we assume it's him” Su Ru waved her hand, ”But you would not be able to locate this guy, because he's an assassin His would be extremely stealthy in his whereabouts”
