Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 373: Investigation
"Have you really seen it?"

Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this, and immediately stopped raising his right fist. He turned around and looked at Chen Yue, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"I don't know about the two people you mentioned, but some time ago, a group of mysterious people wearing red hooded clothes came to the island. I remember them because they were dressed very differently."

Since this person knew the clue, Lu Ping didn't care about the other party's rudeness just now.

"Can I ask when and where you saw them? Do you know where they are now?"

"About five days ago, I saw those people in red on this island. They stayed here for two days and sailed out to sea three days ago."

"Do you know which direction they were looking?"

"Knight Island."

At night, Lu Ping and others reunited at the agreed place and summarized the news they had learned that day.

However, after comparison, it was unexpectedly discovered that the information each person obtained was different -

"What I heard is that the people from the Red Dress Cult went to the Island of Heroes."

"But what I heard here is that they went to Penglai Island..."

"Strange... We were at the inn today and clearly heard that they went to Kunpeng Island."

"Dongtian Fudi Island."

The eight of us looked at each other and fell silent.

Shen Jianxin complained: "Could it be that the locals saw that we were from the Tang Dynasty and deliberately played a trick on us?"

"It's not impossible."

Li Fu said: "But what is more certain is that the Red Dress Sect had long expected that someone would track them down to the East China Sea, so they made arrangements here in advance, letting their people come here in batches and go in different directions to confuse the public..."

"Of course, it's possible that the Red Cult came to the East China Sea for another purpose, so they went to various islands."

Upon hearing this, several people nodded and expressed their deep agreement with Li Fu's point of view.

"Although there may be a trap, we must not go there."

"Since we've already decided to split up, why don't we each go to an island and search for them?"

After a brief discussion, the four decided to go to different islands for exploration.

The next day, the wind and waves were blowing strongly on the sea, and from time to time the cheerful calls of giant eagles could be heard in the sky, which made people feel open-minded.

Lu Ping took Chen Yue and found a fisherman to rent a small boat, and went out to the sea to Xiake Island.

There are many islands in the East China Sea, and they are quite far from each other.

For the locals who have lived here for a long time, if they want to go to other islands, they just need to look at the weather, estimate the weather at sea, and then choose a time when the wind is calm or there are favorable winds and waves to go out to sea.

They didn't even use nautical charts or compasses. They just took some fresh water and food and went out to sea with confidence.

Because unless there are any unexpected events, most islands can be reached within two days.

But for outsiders like Lu Ping, things are not that simple.

Once you get out to sea, you're greeted by a vast expanse of space. There are clouds in the sky and the sea below. Apart from these, there is nothing else to serve as a reference, which makes people feel uneasy for no reason.

Fortunately, it was not Lu Ping's first time going out to sea, so he had some experience. In addition, he was skilled and brave, so he was not panicked.

Even though the wind is strong and the waves are high at the moment, he can still steer the boat steadily forward in the wind and waves.

Of course, this is not because Lu Ping has become a skilled old captain, but because he is able to use martial arts and spells to control the weather.

What surprised Lu Ping was Chen Yue. It was also her first time going out to sea, but compared to herself back then, she didn't look the least bit awkward.

"Xiaoyue, this is your first time out to sea, right?"

"Yes."

"Don't you feel panic?"

"No way!"

Chen Yue grew up in Daoxiang Village and later went to Wanhua Valley.

There are many rivers and lakes in these two places, so Chen Yue overcame her fear of water early on.

"Okay... How's your training of the Strange Flower Heavenly Book going?"

"It's going very smoothly. We have made some progress now."

"Really? Show me the results?"

After spending some time together, Chen Yue had become the person Lu Ping was most familiar with in Wanhua Valley, except for Pei Yuan.

The relationship between the two is like one-third master and apprentice, one-third friends, and one-third siblings.

Taking advantage of his free time, Lu Ping simply started to test the schoolwork of his apprentice, friend, and sister.

There is no other reason, just want to see the extent to which the "eighth-grade magical power" that can control all spirits can be used in this world. "Of course."

Chen Yue stood up and activated his internal energy. Three feet in front of him, several pink and purple vines suddenly sprouted from the originally flat and smooth wooden board.

That was exactly the strange flower variety that Chen Yue was studying - Wisteria.

The wisteria carefully selected by the "Flower Saint" Yu Qing, activated by the Strange Flower Chart, has become a combat weapon with extremely strong vitality and control.

Wisteria grows quickly in the wind, its vines are flexible, slender and tight, and its flowers are brightly colored and pleasing to the eye.

Under Chen Yue's control, these vines seemed to come to life, quickly entwining together in a spiral, gradually turning into thick vines that one person could hug.

This thick vine coiled higher and higher, and when it reached about three meters, it began to grow upwards, crisscrossing within six feet, "weaving" an "umbrella cover".

Looking at the whole thing now, I discovered that these wisterias have actually entwined into a large pink and purple tree.

Roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, fruits... everything is available!
If one had not seen the process of its formation with one's own eyes, no one would have thought that this purple tree was made of vines. They would have thought that another magical tree had grown in the East China Sea.

Looking at the thriving 'purple tree' in front of him, with its 'blossoming branches and branches' and 'laden fruits', Lu Ping was quite satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad...it seems like you can already control it easily. You really have talent!"

"And judging from its growth, it has strong vitality."

"I just don't know how strong the attack is?"

The strange flower represents the attributes of nature. Its strong vitality is its greatest characteristic, but when it comes to its means of attack, it is relatively mediocre.

The 'unique skills of strange flowers', 'entanglement and strangulation' and 'pollen bewitching' that Chen Yue is currently using are actually not abilities brought by the strange flower astronomy spectrum, but should be considered as the unique abilities of this wisteria.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a good flower species for cultivation.

"The attack power is average, but the control is very strong."

Chen Yue replied, "I have already tested it when I was at Wanhua Medical Clinic."

Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat: "Who did you...test it on?"

Which poor thing was the first to experience the power of this 'Purple Devil Vine'?

"It's the rat that Master Pei caught!"

Chen Yue smiled slightly under the veil: "Before, he used those mice to test the Red Cult's 'Yin Yang Harmony Powder', so I took the opportunity to ask him for a few to test my purple vine."

It turned out to be poor Mouse...

That's fine.

After that, the two of them talked about Chen Yue's progress in practicing martial arts.

Lu Ping had also seen the eighth-grade magical power, and although he had not studied it in depth, with his current knowledge of martial arts, he could combine his own experience and give Chen Yue some very helpful suggestions.

Unknowingly, the boat had sailed into a strange sea area. By the time the two discovered the unusual atmosphere around them, it was already too late.

On the boat, the two people's laughter stopped abruptly.

Lu Ping blinked at first, and then his expression changed from surprise and confusion to bewilderment.

"Do you feel that the atmosphere around you is weird?"

Chen Yue was stunned when she heard this, then she gently closed her eyes and listened quietly to the whispers from Tengluo. She opened her eyes after a while.

"It seems... but it's unusual."

"Wisteria told me that our ship seemed to have mistakenly entered the lair of a sea monster."

Lu Ping was a little surprised: "You can already do this?"

The eighth-grade magical power is a unique martial art. If one masters it fully, one can control all the spirits in the world.

If one practices only one of them, although one cannot reach the realm of 'communication between heaven and earth', one can still empathize, sense and even communicate with one's flowers.

Chen Yue showed a bit of shyness on her face: "I can only feel its emotions and hear some scattered words."

“That’s pretty impressive too.”

Lu Ping sighed, then turned around and looked at the surrounding sea. He saw that the waves on the sea were rising and falling at an exaggerated amplitude. In such magnificent waves, the small boat seemed like a leaf of duckweed, weak and helpless.

"Oh my...what a miscalculation."

Lu Ping screamed: "I just thought I had conquered the climate and the waves, but I forgot that there are sea beasts lurking here."

"Hmmmm... a sea beast's lair?"

"I can definitely feel that the fishy smell around me is much stronger than before."

"Be careful, something is coming!"
