Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Ancestor?

Mu Zi continued to scan the jade slip, only to find that the record ended there. The so-called strongest woman in the ancient times of the Tianxuan Continent was still shrouded in mystery.

However, Mu Zi was not disappointed.

To be honest, Mu Zi didn't care much about the history of the Tianxuan Continent. To this world, she was just an outsider with no sense of belonging.

Even though ancient records could vaguely suggest that there must be a wider world beyond the Tianxuan Continent, this truth only slightly piqued Mu Zi's interest.

From beginning to end, Mu Zi's biggest concern was whether she could find the whereabouts of those few origins through the secrets recorded in the ancient books.

But now it seems that the result is not as she wished. Perhaps the information in a single jade slip is limited. If she could collect more ancient books, she might be able to find some clues.

"Hmm, we can keep an eye on this matter from now on."

Just then, Lin Dong appeared in the courtyard and walked straight towards Mu Zi after seeing her.

"Miss Mu, did you find anything?"

The woman in white remained silent, holding the jade slip in her slender hands, and slowly handed it to Lin Dong.

"Let me see."

Lin Dong enthusiastically accepted the ancient jade slip from Mu Zi's hand, and then his gaze fell on the ancient characters engraved on it, examining them with great seriousness.

The obscure and difficult-to-understand symbols were arranged densely together, like a book written in the heavens. Lin Dong felt dizzy after only glancing at them a few times.

As time went by, the man's brows furrowed as he tried to channel his spiritual energy into the jade slip. Although he made some slight progress, it was not something that could be achieved in a short time if he wanted to fully understand the meaning represented by the ancient characters.

brush--

Seeing this, Mu Zi interrupted Lin Dong's attempt and took the jade slip back from his hand. The latter looked at her blankly, seemingly puzzled.

"Lin Dong," the girl patted the man's shoulder, her tone carrying a profound meaning, "you're different from others. Promise me, okay? Don't waste your energy on this."

"Instead of studying these useless things, you should practice martial arts more; that would be more meaningful for you."

Lin Dong's eye twitched. What was Miss Mu saying? It made him sound like some kind of blockhead. This was definitely a misunderstanding!

"My combat ability is still pretty good right now, and it seems that continuing to cultivate martial arts won't improve it much..." Lin Dong shrugged slightly, which was indeed true.

With Lin Dong's current abnormally strong physical body, even if he uses the fourth level of the "Qimen Seal", its power would probably not be as great as his casual punch.

Moreover, compared to flashy techniques like hand seals to condense Yuan energy, Lin Dong preferred close-quarters combat with fists landing squarely. Just thinking about such a passionate battle was enough to make one's blood boil with excitement!

"Oh, really?"

Seeing that Lin Dong was so confident in his combat skills, Mu Zi also became a little interested. She put down the jade slip in her hand, stood up, and gently waved to Lin Dong.

"In that case, come on, let's exchange a few blows."

Lin Dong's expression changed, and his boiling blood quickly cooled down.

I hit Miss Mu, really?

"Scared?" Mu Zi's lips curled into a slight smile. "Don't worry, I don't stoop to using force to suppress others. Next, I will suppress my strength to a level comparable to yours, and we'll have a fair fight. Do you dare?"

As she spoke, Mu Zi gently stroked several acupoints on her body with her slender fingers in front of Lin Dong, sealing her cultivation to a level similar to Lin Dong's, or even slightly weaker.

"This seal will last for an hour. During this time, even I cannot use any more power, so there is absolutely no possibility of cheating."

Mu Zi gathered her waist-length hair high and tied it with a ribbon made of purple light, making her look even more refreshing and capable.

After doing all this, Mu Zilian moved lightly to stand in front of Lin Dong, and looked at him with a charming smile.

"What, you didn't expect me to be serious?"

"If you can beat me within an hour, I'll do anything you ask!"

Lin Dong's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

Seeing this, Mu Zi moved closer to Lin Dong, tilted her head slightly to look into the man's eyes, and gently lifted his chin with her fair and delicate fingers, her cool gaze revealing a hint of amusement.

"Or are you saying that you, a grown man, have so little courage that you don't dare to confront a weak woman like me?"

"waste!"

Lin Dong hardened his fist.

Even a clay figure has some temper, and being provoked like this, even Lin Dong, who respected Miss Mu, couldn't help but feel the urge to teach her a lesson.

A true man lives between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?

Today is the day to turn the tables and take control of your destiny!

"bring it on."

Lin Dong acted immediately, stomping his foot on the ground and leaping into the air. His fan-sized hand reached out to grab the graceful white-clad figure.

"Hehe~"

Mu Zi chuckled lightly, her feet moving gracefully as she brushed past the man. Lin Dong's attack missed, and he felt a slight chill run down his spine. He quickly adjusted his balance and shot towards Mu Zi again.

But the white-clad beauty dodged away, causing Lin Dong to miss his target again, managing to catch only a wisp of fragrant breeze with his fingertips.

"Too slow."

Mu Zi darted and weaved around Lin Dong, her graceful figure transforming into a delicate flower petal, dancing and swirling around him.

Lin Dong's attacks were always just a hair's breadth away from touching that white figure, but he could never overcome that tiny gap. It was like a strong man falling into a gentle trap, having great strength but no way to use it, and being completely manipulated.

"boring."

A casual voice rang out, and Mu Zi seemed to have no desire to continue playing. She touched the ground with her jade feet, suddenly leaned forward, and gently elbowed Lin Dong in the lower back with her slender arm.

"Ugh—"

Lin Dong only felt a fragrant breeze coming from his side, and his feet were instantly lifted into the air. Accompanied by a force that pushed him from his waist, Lin Dong felt dizzy and flew straight for dozens of feet before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Is that all you've got? You think you can beat me? Keep practicing!"

Mu Zi walked over slowly and deliberately, stopping in front of the figure lying on the ground. Her delicate embroidered shoe stepped on Lin Dong's chest.

"Come on, shine my shoes~"

Lin Dong's gaze shifted slightly upwards, and he saw that the white embroidered shoes were as smooth as ever. The girl's fair and pinkish skin was faintly visible through the shoes, like a glimmering crescent moon peeking out from behind the clouds, causing Lin Dong's gaze to pause subconsciously.
