Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Please don't misunderstand.

Elena shook her head slightly, her golden hair swaying gently: "Although Carden and I are both members of the church, our relationship isn't that good."

She speaks Mandarin very well, with clear pronunciation and almost no accent.

If it weren't for her striking physical features, one would really think she was Chinese.

Nan Shunian peeked out from behind Yang Xian, the lollipop stick in her mouth lightly tapping against her teeth: "What are you doing here? We don't even know you!"

Her voice carried its usual languidness, yet also revealed an impolite aloofness.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Elena." Elena bowed slightly. "I would like to spar with you two and discuss martial arts..."

"A friendly spar?" Nan Shunian let out a disdainful snort. "Tsk! Using a sparring match as an excuse to cause trouble, what an old trick. Boring, let's go!"

She grabbed Yang Xian's arm and pulled him away.

Yang Xian was pulled so hard he stumbled, and had no choice but to follow Nan Shunian slowly.

"Wait..." Elena hurriedly said.

But Nan Shunian, who was ahead, quickened her pace and grabbed Yang Xian's arm even harder.

"What? You can't even walk past other pretty girls, huh?" Nan Shunian's voice came from ahead, tinged with a hint of teasing.

Yang Xian retorted in a low voice, "No way, don't talk nonsense..."

Afterwards, Elena watched the two figures disappear into the distance, but ultimately did not chase after them.

She stood there, her long golden hair fluttering in the breeze, a bitter feeling flashing through her heart.

"So it failed after all...?"

"I shouldn't have saved that idiot Carden back then..."

Elena quickly returned to her room.

She dialed a number, waited a few seconds, and then a middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Elena, how was your trip to China?"

"Teacher," Elena said with a hint of respect, "I discussed martial arts with the teachers at Chengwu University and learned something, but not much."

She paused, her tone filled with frustration. "There's no effective way to solve my problem of cultivating divine-level techniques."

Elena both "exorcised demons" and practiced martial arts, taking two paths at once.

This is extremely rare within the exorcism cult.

Not only that, she also gained the recognition of a divine-level cultivation technique.

This should have been an incredible opportunity.

However, cultivating a divine-level technique is not an easy task.

Within the exorcism cult, no one could teach her to cultivate divine skills.

Therefore, Elena had to study all over the world.

Despite the harsh conditions, he relied on his talent and perseverance to cultivate to the peak of the third realm.

He can be considered a martial arts genius.

"There's an old Chinese saying, 'The Way should not be lightly transmitted.'" The teacher's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of reassurance:

"They wouldn't teach an outsider for no reason."

"Furthermore... divine-level techniques are simply too difficult to cultivate, and I cannot teach them to you without in-depth research."

"Elena, why don't you... give up on the path of martial arts?"

"No!" Elena retorted without hesitation, "I need this power!"

She was one of the candidates for "Holy Son," but her background was not high.

Besides this teacher from the Six Realms, he has no other backing.

Once she's in the game, she can't afford to lose!

Those covetous rivals will never let go of any opportunity to bring her down.

Otherwise, all that awaits her is the purge by other forces within the church.

"But right now, no one but you can gain the approval of this cultivation technique." The teacher's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"This road is too difficult to walk without guidance..."

Elena knew this perfectly well, more than anyone else, how difficult this path was.

But she had no other choice.

There was a moment of silence in the call.

"I heard that a student at Chengwu University has gained recognition for three divine-level cultivation techniques in one go," the teacher's voice rang out again. "Perhaps he has unique insights; you could go and consult him."

That's right, she was referring to Yang Xian.

It's said that the more experience one has in martial arts, the better, but some geniuses and prodigies often have unique insights that can break conventions and bring unexpected breakthroughs. Yang Xian might be such a prodigy.

"I know who the teacher is talking about," Elena said slowly.

"Kaden and Yang Xian had a falling out not long ago, and I accidentally... hit him."

"The other party is showing some hostility towards me now..."

She didn't finish speaking, but the teacher already understood the key point.

"This is going to be difficult..." The teacher's voice was full of worry.

You can't force someone to help you, especially a genius like that. You need to treat them with sincerity, otherwise it will only backfire.

Chinese martial artists have always valued their reputation, especially a gifted young man like Yang Xian.

Elena looked out the window and took a deep breath.

She knew this was her only hope.

No matter the cost, she had to fight for this opportunity.

"Teacher, I will continue to try to reach out to him!"

night.

Yang Xian came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

"Hey, Yang Xian," Nan Shunian said suddenly, sitting on Yang Xian's bed, "Where did you learn your Gu techniques?"

"Hmm?" Yang Xian paused in drying his hair and glanced at the gray-haired girl.

"Where did you learn that?" he countered, then raised an eyebrow and smiled, "From you!"

The "Myriad Poisons and Thousand Poisons Manual" that I "borrowed" from Nan Shunian can certainly be considered as something I learned from her!

Upon hearing this, Nan Shunian was taken aback, and dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

"Tsk! Fine, don't tell me then! Don't make fun of me!" She pouted, a hint of defiance in her voice. "I don't have a student as stupid as you!"

Yang Xian flicked her forehead with a sharp tap.

A soft "thump!"

"Who's the dumbest one here?" Yang Xian glared at her, annoyed.

The thought of teaching Nan Shu to recite "The Void Shadow Step" made the veins on his forehead throb.

They either complain about being tired or that it's too hard.

It's absolutely infuriating.

"Ouch!" Nan Shunian covered her head, looking at him with a wronged expression.

"Oh right, I'm so stupid! Okay?"

snort!

He hit someone on the head again!

You'll get what's coming to you soon enough!

After a period of diligent practice, Nan Shunian felt that she could do it again!

Tonight, I'm going to get revenge for losing the bet last time!
