Starting from the world of martial arts in the Condor Heroes, practicing martial arts across the hea

"Senior sister, since you don't want to return to the Ancient Tomb, then leave!"

"If this happens again, don't blame me for showing no mercy, Junior Sister!"

A clear, melodious female voice echoed in the entrance hall of the ancient tomb in Zhongnan Mountain, its lingering notes resonating within the stone chamber, carrying a chilling coldness. Li Mochou had returned to the tomb today, seemingly insane, her palm strikes fierce and her moves ruthless, displaying a resolute determination to destroy her sect's ancestral land and seize the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra*. However, Xiaolongnu, pure of heart and mindful of the sisterly bond she had shared since childhood, ultimately spared her despite her senior sister's deep-seated obsession and repeated transgressions, sparing her the life of her sister.

"Are you really willing to let me go?" Li Mochou's face turned pale and then red, and she asked in surprise and doubt.

Li Mochou paused, her beautiful face shifting rapidly, alternating between pale and ashen, a mixture of surprise, doubt, and resentment, as she stared intently at her composed junior sister. She had expected a fierce battle to the death today, even prepared for injury, defeat, and death in the ancient tomb, never imagining that Xiaolongnu would let her go so easily.

"Yes," Little Dragon Girl replied expressionlessly.

She stood on the bluestone ground, dressed in white, her figure elegant and aloof. Her eyes were expressionless, and her tone was calm and indifferent, revealing no emotion.

"Fine, don't regret it! I will not give up the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra." A hint of embarrassment flashed in Li Mochou's eyes, but it was quickly covered by her stubborn determination. She still had the stubborn look of refusing to admit defeat. Before leaving, she was still defiant and did not forget to say this.

Xiaolongnu slightly raised her eyes and uttered a word that was both direct and piercing: "Senior sister can't beat me."

Hearing these words, "Senior sister can't beat me," Jiang Nan inexplicably sensed a faint hint of joy in Xiaolongnu's tone.

Seven simple words, without sarcasm or contempt, simply stating an undeniable fact, left the arrogant and self-important Li Mochou speechless.

Her lips twitched violently, a mixture of anger and helplessness welling up inside her. She thought to herself, "My junior sister still can't speak properly. From childhood to adulthood, she's always been so blunt and unsociable, utterly lacking in tact. She's completely lost that innocent and adorable childlike side." She truly missed her junior sister back then, always longing to be lifted high in the air. Her little disciple, Lu Wushuang, is just like her junior sister when she was young!

She suppressed her thoughts, circulated her inner energy, activated her light footwork, accelerated her pace, and transformed into a yellow streak of light, instantly passing over the stone steps of the tomb passage and leaving the ancient tomb in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Nan, who had been observing the entire battle from the sidelines, never joined in the fight. He knew that Li Mochou's forceful intrusion had left her with internal injuries, her qi and blood turbulent, and her moves scattered, making her hardly a viable opponent. There was no need to take advantage of her weakened state. More importantly, during the brief confrontation between the two sisters, he had already thoroughly understood all of Li Mochou's skills—the Five Poisons Palm, the whisk technique, and the flaws in her movements—leaving nothing out.

Now we can only wait for the next visitor to the ancient tomb—Ouyang Feng. As long as Yang Guo is here, Ouyang Feng will definitely come.

Jiang Nan removed the soundproof protective aura around him, his internal energy quietly receding into his meridians. He turned to look at Xiaolongnu, who stood there with her expression still aloof, and called out to her, "Would you like to have something to eat and rest?"

Over the past two years, Jiang Nan had thoroughly understood Xiao Longnv's personality. Outsiders all said that the heir of the Ancient Tomb Sect was aloof, detached from worldly affairs, and detached from worldly concerns. However, he knew that this seemingly cold fairy harbored a soft and tender side, and was a true foodie. Although the two were usually quiet and reserved in their daily interactions, rarely exchanging words and mostly sparring and refining their martial arts techniques, Xiao Longnv would always sit quietly and savor her food during mealtimes. Her aloof demeanor would soften, revealing a more vibrant and lively side. Therefore, Xiao Longnv was indeed a foodie.

I remember in the previous life there was a version of Little Dragon Girl who had a round, chubby face and a unique hairstyle. Netizens jokingly called her "chubby face and chicken leg hairstyle". Hmm... could it be because she was greedy and had developed a cute and chubby appearance over time?

However, the legitimate heir of the Ancient Tomb Sect had no such concerns. She diligently practiced the Ancient Tomb Sect's secret arts every day, honing her light-body swordsmanship. Her physical exertion far exceeded that of ordinary people. All the food she ate was transformed into pure internal energy and overall strength, nourishing her muscles and bones and refining her cultivation. Not a trace of it accumulated as fat or grew in the wrong places. Her figure remained elegant and slender year-round, with a perfect balance of thinness and fullness.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu slowly raised her eyes, her cool gaze falling on Jiangnan, who stood smiling by the bamboo platform. Her expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest surprise. For the past two years, Jiangnan had often concealed his aura to observe battles. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he could always appear silently in various parts of Zhongnan Mountain. This had long been the norm for him, and she was no longer surprised.

Seeing Jiangnan waving at her, Xiaolongnu's expression remained calm.

She already knew this person was highly skilled in martial arts and could evade her senses, so she was used to it and not surprised. It was quite normal for him to be able to detect a fight in the mountains and watch from the sidelines.

With a light touch of her feet, Xiaolongnu activated the Ancient Tomb's superior lightness technique. Her white robes fluttered in the air, her figure as graceful as a fairy under the moon, so light and untouched by any dust. Her toes lightly touched the treetops and leaves, using the momentum to glide, her figure ethereal and otherworldly. In just a few breaths, she steadily flew towards the bamboo platform where Jiangnan was located.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered it was a platform made of bamboo. Built against the mountainside, the bamboo platform was serene and elegant. On it sat a rustic bamboo table and two bamboo chairs, the table laden with sweet fruits, crunchy melon seeds, and plump peanuts—snacks prepared for leisurely mountain life. Beside the table was a bamboo reclining chair, where Jiangnan had been leisurely watching the game and enjoying the fruits. Scattered on the platform were melon seed shells, peanut shells, and watermelon rinds, further emphasizing her relaxed and carefree demeanor.

The Little Dragon Girl, who had just been treated like a monkey in a play, glanced at Jiang Nan but didn't make a move, because she couldn't beat him.

"Come, come, are you tired from fighting? Thirsty? Have some watermelon to cool down and quench your thirst," Jiang Nan warmly invited. After all, the two remaining senior female disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect had just given him a wonderful dance performance. The confrontation between the two top masters of the Ancient Tomb Sect was exquisite and full of artistic conception, which was a very exciting martial arts feast for him. Although he did not have a lot of money to thank them with, a meal of fruit and tea was more than enough. The only pity was that Li Mochou was in a hurry to go down the mountain and did not stay to sit down with him, but it could not be considered that he was being unhospitable.

Although they didn't know, Jiang Nan said that he was a kind person. He couldn't afford to pay his salary, but he could still afford to invite one person to watch the show. He could even invite two people. It's just that the other person was in a hurry to go down the mountain, so he didn't have time to invite him. It's not his fault!

Little Dragon Girl didn't stand on ceremony. She was always easygoing and unconventional, unfamiliar with worldly formalities. Upon hearing this, she sat down directly, picked up a slice of chilled, sweet watermelon, and quietly savored it. This wasn't her first time eating watermelon; she loved the cool, sweet taste of watermelons from Jiangnan, and she especially adored the refreshing, sweet flavor of this watermelon. In comparison, the fruits and vegetables that Granny Sun usually bought from the mountain seemed bland and tasteless, far inferior to this.

As she chewed slowly, she thought to herself: Granny Sun took young Yang Guo down the mountain today to buy daily necessities, cloth and food, and they haven't returned yet. I wonder when they will be able to return to the mountain.

Xiaolongnu pondered inwardly, her face remaining expressionless. This girl didn't consider what would happen after Li Mochou met Granny Sun and Yang Guo, nor did she think about whether Li Mochou, upon descending the mountain, would encounter Granny Sun and Yang Guo by chance, and what kind of turmoil would ensue.

However, Li Mochou would never actually lay a hand on Granny Sun, after all, she had watched Granny Sun grow up, and although her martial arts skills were weak, she was still an elder.

Li Mochou is someone who can't be a complete bad person, but she's also unwilling to be a good person.

Li Mochou is the most contradictory figure in the martial arts world. She commits evil throughout her life but is never completely thwarted, yet she is always unwilling to do good. She spends half her life entangled in love, hate, and revenge, ultimately finding herself caught between good and evil. She roams the martial arts world, killing countless people with ruthless methods, yet she always retains a faint shred of conscience and kindness.

When they were about to exterminate Lu Liding's entire family, they hesitated because of the love token, and spared the lives of Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang. Especially Lu Wushuang, although they kept her by their side to enslave and beat her, they ultimately let her live;

Li Mochou's first apprentice, Hong Lingbo, was the last survivor of her family's massacre, and it's unclear what her motivations were in taking her in.

Every time she appeared, she would sing, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it? Flying together across the vast land, their old wings have weathered many winters and summers. Joyful moments, bitter partings, and among them, even more foolish lovers." Yet, she was never seen killing an infant.

……

This is being utterly evil, yet unwilling to be a good person. If you kill your entire family, you should at least wipe them all out. You're still leaving loose ends; do you really want to be a good person? There's no turning back now, and she's unwilling to turn back either.

Therefore, she ultimately died young, unable to live to be a hundred years old.

Li Mochou failed to become a major villain or boss, and could only play a minor supporting role in the final chapters. A true villain like Ouyang Feng, however, only appeared in *The Return of the Condor Heroes* before his own story ended, and he even took one of the Five Greats with him when he left, making him anything but lonely.

Hmm... I wonder what Li Mochou's fate was like in the previous world? I met her a few times when she was living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain; she was a very lively and cheerful girl. In that world, the Ancient Tomb Sect didn't adopt Xiaolongnu. As her sole successor, I wonder if she was allowed to pass on the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra*? If she still broke away from the sect, would the Ancient Tomb Sect's lineage be severed?

The butterfly effect! Jiang Nan didn't participate much in the plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but he indirectly changed the plot.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Nan asked with a smile, looking at the little dragon girl with her chubby cheeks.

Hmm... I really wanted to see Xiaolongnu break down, but alas...

Little Dragon Girl nodded expressionlessly, without even raising her head, clearly used to it.

Jiang Nan smiled but didn't reply. He channeled his inner energy, flicked his sleeve, and swept the trash on the platform into the jungle below. Nature would take care of these melon rinds for him.

After Xiaolongnu finished eating the watermelon, she stood silently on the bamboo platform, looking towards the entrance of the ancient tomb. Only after Granny Sun and Yang Guo returned did she nod slightly to Jiangnan as a greeting, and then gracefully landed towards the entrance of the ancient tomb.

"Grandma Sun, did you run into Senior Sister?"

"Mo Chou is back?" Granny Sun asked in surprise.

"Yes, she came back, then left again." Concise and to the point, just like Little Dragon Girl's style.

"Sigh!" Granny Sun sighed deeply and didn't ask any more questions.

Yang Guo listened intently, his eyes darting around. He heard Granny Sun mention Mochou. Could it be that crazy, beautiful Taoist nun, Li Mochou? It was because she wanted to wipe out the Lu family manor that martial arts masters gathered, which led to his discovery by Uncle Guo; it was also because he was poisoned by Li Mochou's Ice Soul Silver Needles that he met his adoptive father, Ouyang Feng.

Recalling the past, Yang Guo was excited, but he dared not show it in front of Xiaolongnü.

This aunt always asked him to "think less, worry less, desire less, do less, talk less, laugh less, be less sad, be less happy, be less joyful, be less angry, be less fond of, and be less fond of." If she found out that he was emotionally agitated, he would probably be punished again.

It's no wonder that the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect all had good martial arts skills when they appeared. Elite education is one thing, but this kind of punitive education is another.

Little Dragon Girl didn't notice Yang Guo's little scheme, but she increased his training intensity in the following days. After all, her senior sister was still eyeing him covetously, and Yang Guo was the only "weakling" in the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The "weakest link" effect means strengthening the weakest point.

Time flies like an arrow, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Mochou has not returned to the Ancient Tomb.

It's unclear whether they gave up or realized they were no match for Xiaolongnu and strategically retreated.

After several months of intensive training by Xiaolongnü, Yang Guo's internal strength increased, and he became more proficient in using martial arts techniques. His martial arts skills had greatly improved, but he was still no match for Xiaolongnü.

Of course, Xiaolongnu's martial arts skills improved naturally as she practiced with Jiangnan every day, but like Yang Guo, she still couldn't beat Jiangnan.

On this day, as Xiaolongnu was teaching Yang Guo martial arts techniques, a strange, upside-down man suddenly appeared. The man had a head full of unruly hair and a body covered in bristling hair and beard, resembling a wild man.

It was none other than Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison!

After his madness, he acted completely irrationally, and his attacks were sinister, sudden, and impossible to defend against. This time, his appearance came without any warning. He attacked Xiaolongnu directly from behind, his fingertips wielding a sharp and precise force, striking vital acupoints all over her body.

Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Greats of the martial arts world, possessed unparalleled martial arts skills. Even with his madness, his cultivation remained unfathomable, far surpassing that of ordinary martial arts masters. This time, he launched a deliberate sneak attack, catching her off guard with incredible speed and cunning timing. Xiaolongnu was completely absorbed in teaching him the moves and was utterly unprepared. Caught off guard, she had no time to circulate her inner energy to block or dodge.

Several faint hissing sounds and the sound of energy cutting through the air rang out as several sharp finger strikes landed precisely on several vital acupoints around Xiaolongnu's body. In an instant, Xiaolongnu's meridians became stagnant, her internal energy was instantly sealed, her limbs stiffened and she could not move. Her body stood upright in place, her white clothes frozen, like a beautiful jade sculpture, without any strength to move.

Yang Guo, standing to the side, was so frightened that his heart pounded, his body stiffened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stopped all movement instantly, filled with fear. But when he finally saw the strange upside-down posture of the person and the familiar facial features, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled, and his tense body completely relaxed.

It was my godfather, Ouyang Feng! It wasn't an invasion by foreign enemies; it was just a false alarm.

Just as Yang Guo was about to call out to his adoptive father, before he could even utter a word, Ouyang Feng had already grabbed his wrist with a powerful yet perfectly timed grip. The force was fierce and domineering, ensuring Yang Guo wouldn't be harmed in the slightest, yet leaving him no chance to break free. Then, in a flash, Ouyang Feng, carrying Yang Guo, transformed into a blurry afterimage and instantly vanished into the deep forest. In a few leaps, they disappeared completely, leaving only an empty stone clearing and Xiaolongnu still standing frozen in place, unable to move.

Jiang Nan had been on high alert for the past few months, waiting for Ouyang Feng to come to his door. Just then, the strange movement in the mountains and forests and the sound of energy breaking through the air suddenly rang out. He instantly sensed the abnormality and rushed over, landing on the blue stone open space in a flash.

Before him stood the Little Dragon Girl, frozen in place, her white robes still neat and intact, her hair perfectly styled and her clothes undamaged. Clearly, she had only had her acupoints sealed and had not suffered any external injuries, nor was her life in danger. Jiang Nan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly settled down, and he secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had arrived in time, and a major disaster had not yet occurred.

He strode forward, raised his hand and placed it on the meridians on Xiaolongnu's shoulder and back. He used his pure and powerful Nine Yin Internal Energy to try to unblock the stagnant meridians and release the sealed acupoints according to the orthodox Nine Yin acupoint release method.

The internal energy circulated through his fingertips several times, but was blocked by a strange and domineering reverse force, making it impossible to penetrate the meridians and break the seal. He tried to use the acupoint-opening chapter of the Nine Yin Manual to open the acupoints, but it was indeed unsuccessful.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Five Greats. Even though he practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, which drove him crazy and confused, and caused him to suffer from qi deviation for half his life, the martial arts he comprehended and the unique reverse internal energy he created are indeed exquisite, domineering, and have a whole new world of their own."

"This martial arts talent is in no way inferior to the research talent of top modern scientists!"

The orthodox Nine Yin Manual's method of releasing acupoints follows the natural flow of energy, progressing gradually. However, Ouyang Feng practiced the manual in reverse for half his life, his strength and acupoint techniques completely defying martial arts principles and overturning the meridian pathways, creating a unique, unorthodox martial arts system. Orthodox methods, when applied to his unorthodox methods of sealing acupoints, are utterly useless, like scratching an itch through a boot—completely ineffective.

Jiang Nan immediately abandoned the conventional approach to acupoint release and stopped adhering to the fixed rules of the Nine Yin Manual. He deeply understood the ultimate principle of martial arts: all methods in the world lead to the same goal, and techniques and moves are ultimately secondary; only profound internal strength and immense power are the foundation of martial arts.

Jiangnan no longer used the method of "unblocking acupoints" to unblock acupoints, but instead prepared to use his powerful true qi and blood strength to push blood through Xiaolongnu's uterus and open up her acupoints.

Once he made up his mind, he immediately mobilized his powerful and unparalleled true energy, wrapped it with pure blood and qi, and placed his palm on the Du meridian acupoint on Xiaolongnu's back. In the most domineering, direct, and also the most common and clumsy method used by martial arts practitioners, he pushed her blood to circulate and cleanse her meridians.

A powerful yet gentle force flowed slowly along the meridians, inch by inch washing away the residual reverse-sealing energy from Ouyang Feng, crushing and breaking the bizarre technique with absolute internal strength. No matter how cunning and unpredictable the reverse-path energy was, or how it sealed the meridians, it was ultimately a mere illusion and a minor trick in the face of absolute and profound internal strength, utterly vulnerable.

Well... no matter how skillful the martial arts techniques are, internal strength is king. With profound internal energy, even an ordinary, unremarkable punch can unleash awe-inspiring power.
