My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"I."

"That's pretty much it."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward and closed the ancient book in front of An Youyu, "If you don't go to sleep soon, I might stay in your room all night."

Upon hearing the words "stay overnight," An Youyu blushed and hurriedly said, "No! I'll sleep here, okay?"

"You lied just now, so I don't really believe you now."

Lin Mo pointed to the bed without batting an eye, "So now... go to sleep, and I'll leave after you fall asleep."

"what?"

An Youyu protested softly, "I can't sleep at all if you look at me; I won't lie to you this time, can you go back to your room?"

"not good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo swept him up in a princess carry.

Before An Youyu could react, Lin Mo placed her on the bed. Before she could say anything, Lin Mo's voice rang in her ears again.

"Close your eyes and sleep."

"you you……"

"If you dare to speak again, I'll help you take off your clothes."

"..."

In an instant, An Youyu's face flushed red, and she quickly covered her head with the blanket, protesting angrily, "If you keep talking like this... I'll tell Auntie!"

"You really dare to say that, huh?"

Lin Mo grinned mischievously, "Fine! I'll show you today that going against the grain comes at a price!"

An Youyu sat up quickly, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and swallowed in fear. "W-what are you going to do? Don't do anything rash... I-I was wrong, I won't say anything."

"One last warning: lie down and go to sleep."

Faced with Lin Mo's warning, An Youyu no longer dared to resist and obediently lay down and closed her eyes.

Lin Mo noticed the girl's trembling eyelashes, and a smile appeared on his usually calm expression. "Since this is your first offense, I won't punish you this time. But if you dare to disobey again, I will definitely... keep my word!"

He emphasized the last four words.

"I know, I know."

An Youyu, who had survived the ordeal, obediently responded.

Lin Mo chuckled inwardly, turned around, walked to the door, turned off the light, and left.

The moment he closed the door, a suppressed laugh burst forth from his heart...

…………

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Lin Mo got out of bed.

Having just moved into his new home, his sleep quality was unusually poor last night.

I woke up four or five times during that period, almost once every hour.

This is why his dark circles worsened again. After washing up listlessly, he went to the restaurant on the second floor.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw his mother making breakfast and said in surprise, "Mom, it's only six o'clock, why are you up so early?"

Lin Shu turned around and rolled her eyes helplessly. "You think I thought of this so early? It's all because of him!"

Following his mother's gaze, Lin Mo then noticed Duan Ya sitting in the corner, his legs crossed and casually shaking them.

This scene amused Lin Mo, who stepped forward and said, "Good morning, Master."

"Ah."

Duan Ya glanced lazily at Lin Mo and nodded slightly, saying, "The day's plan starts in the morning, and this is especially true for martial arts training. You must maintain the habit of getting up early."

"it is good."

Lin Mo readily agreed.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. You have to give something to get something, and the more you want to get, the more you have to give.

Even Jiang Xiao, a scion of a powerful family, could easily defeat him. How could he possibly protect An Youyu?

Revenge for the fall was secondary; the main reason Lin Mo felt a sense of crisis from Jiang Xiao was because of him.

After his rebirth, this world felt both familiar and strange to him.

Deep down, he sensed that something was wrong.

It seems something big is about to happen in this lifetime.

and so……

The path of martial arts training is one that one must take!

Duan Ya glanced at Lin Shu and said, "Breakfast will be a while. Come downstairs with me. Starting today, six to seven in the morning will be our time for learning ancient martial arts. Is that alright?"

"No."

A few minutes later, Lin Mo followed Duan Ya to the garden behind the villa, which was more accurately described as a training ground than a garden.

When I was looking at the house before, this place was full of flowers and plants, but now it's empty except for a stone table and benches, and a wooden stake.

Duanya sat on the stone bench, looked at the seat opposite him, and said, "Sit."

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down opposite him without any hesitation.

This attitude made Duan Ya think more highly of him. "I won't waste any more words. Today we won't practice martial arts. Instead, I'll show you the world of ancient martial arts."

Lin Mo held his breath and said, "Disciple is all ears."

Duan Ya asked, "In your heart, what is an ancient martial artist?"

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, "Ancient martial arts, judging from the literal meaning, should refer to the practice of ancient martial arts techniques."

"Yes."

A hint of admiration flashed in Duan Ya's eyes. "Ancient martial arts are combat techniques left over from the previous era; these techniques embody the wisdom of countless generations."

"However, as the environment is changing silently, ancient martial arts practitioners are no longer simply practicing martial arts techniques."

Hearing Duan Ya's explanation, Lin Mo frowned in confusion, "It's no longer just about practicing martial arts? This disciple is dull-witted, please explain further, Master."

Duan Ya was very pleased with Lin Mo's attitude and said in a deep voice, "In the pre-Xia calendar era, ancient martial artists did simply cultivate martial arts techniques, but the ancient martial artists of today are different."

Lin Mo asked again, "What's different?"

Duan Ya looked up at the sky and said, "Compared to the pre-Xia calendar era, the air is now filled with a faint energy. This energy is called spiritual energy by ancient martial artists. After hundreds of years of exploration by countless ancient martial artists, a complete spiritual energy cultivation system has been developed."

"Spiritual energy can be integrated into martial arts techniques to unleash tremendous power. Nowadays, most ancient martial artists cultivate both qi and blood. Only in this way can they be among the top masters."

"Aura?"

Chapter 196 I am in a class of my own!

"Aura?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Lin Mo's expression became extremely interesting. After considering it for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Master, is the spiritual energy you're talking about the spiritual energy in those fantasy worlds? After cultivating to a certain level, one can fly and escape underground?"

"Bullshit!"

Duan Ya rolled his eyes. "Those TV dramas are all fictional. Flying and teleporting don't exist in this world."

"At least the existing cultivation system cannot do it, and the spiritual energy contained in the air cannot support a more advanced cultivation system."

Hearing this, Lin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't what he thought, otherwise, he would have really started to question the world.

"How much does this spiritual energy enhance a martial artist?"

"Finally, you've hit the nail on the head."

Duan Ya gave Lin Mo an approving look and said slowly, "How much spiritual energy can enhance an ancient martial artist is directly related to the martial artist's talent. In other words, the stronger your talent, the deeper your mastery of spiritual energy, and the greater the power of the martial arts you can unleash."

"Of course, the grade of a martial art also determines the upper limit of its power."

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully, then turned into a curious child, "Master, martial arts techniques are divided into grades, and ancient martial artists are also divided into levels; could you please explain this in detail?"

Duan Ya bowed his head and said, "Martial artists are divided into ten levels, from level one to level ten. The higher the level, the stronger the martial artist."

"Is level ten the strongest?"

In response to Lin Mo's question, Duan Ya remained silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Above level ten, there is a transcendent realm. However, the transcendent realm only exists in theory. No one in the world has ever become a transcendent yet. Level ten is the pinnacle. Don't think that becoming a level ten martial artist is easy. Looking at the world, the number of level ten martial artists is extremely small."

"how many?"

"rare."

"..."

Lin Mo changed the subject, "Master, what level of martial artist are you?"

"grade ten."

"..."

Duan Ya was not surprised by Lin Mo's surprise and continued, "Martial arts skills are divided into four levels from high to low: 'Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.' The strongest known martial arts skill is the Earth level, and the Heaven level has never appeared before."

"Master, what martial art do you practice?"

"A self-created sword technique."

What level does it belong to?

"Prefecture-level city".

"..."

Lin Mo's mouth dropped open in an instant.

Level 10 martial artist, Earth-level martial skill!

In other words, the master in front of me is indeed a peerless expert, just as my mother said!
