Chapter 5

In the sky, Li Shaobai stared at Zhangyun's departing silhouette.
A hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
Then, he flapped his battle wings and dashed off in another direction.
Seeing that the two of them had ended the battle, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Zhanwu looked at the gradually dispersing crowd, then looked up at Li Shaobai, who had already disappeared from his line of sight.
He gently shook his head before turning to look at Mate.
He grinned and asked, "Grandpa Mate, what are these two people?".Seeing that the two of them had ended the battle just like that, the spectating crowd gradually dispersed amidst the clamoring discussion.
Xia Lei looked up at the gradually dispersing crowd.
He looked up at Li Shaobai, who had already disappeared from his line of sight.
He gently shook his head, and then turned around to look at Mate, who was standing next to him.
He grinned and asked, "Grandpa Mate, what are these two people?"The wrinkles on Mate's aged face tightened, and then he said with a sigh, "These two people are the young masters of the two big families in the eight guest cities.
The children of these two families often send challenges to each other, and then fight here."This kind of competition could be considered between the two great clans.
It was a hidden contest between some of the clans' strength."..."Zhanwu nodded slightly.
Indeed, whether it was in his previous life or in his current life, whether a family could maintain a long period of prosperity or not, the growth of the future generations was the most important thing.
In his previous life, there were many children who had been incompetent, and there were also quite a few merchants that had declined.Mate looked at Zhanwu's pensive expression and smiled, "Xiaowu, I'm going to get to work.
If you don't have anything else to do, then take a stroll around the city.""I'll take my leave first."Zhanwu nodded, "Grandpa Mate, you should go and take care of your matters first.
I'll take a look around and head back."Mate nodded and left.Zhanwu wandered around the spacious city alone for half a day.
In the end, he felt bored and drifted back to the small courtyard.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
During this period of time, along with some books and what he had seen and heard, Zhanwu began to understand a few things related to the Yuan Dynasty.And time was also a catalyst.
The result of the catalyst was that Zhanwu had unknowingly blended into this seemingly unfamiliar world.
In the evening, the sun gradually set off from the sky and descended on the towering towers of the Eight Guest City.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, Matt slowly walked into the small courtyard with a tired figure.Zhanwu saw Mate walk into the courtyard and smiled as he walked out of the room, "Grandpa Mate, you're back!""..."Mate smiled and nodded, "Xiaowu, are you feeling better today?"Zhanwu nodded, "It's all right now.
By the way, Grandfather Mate, I've already prepared dinner.
Let's go eat."Mate was stunned.
"Did you make dinner?"During this period of time, apart from freeloading, Mate had never seen Zhanwu cook anything.Zhanwu nodded with a coy smile, "Yeah, I can't just eat and do nothing, right?"With that, Mate turned around and walked back into the room.
When he heard what the young man said, he saw that the young man's martial arts were much more cheerful than before.
A hint of a gratified smile appeared on his old face as he walked in.Entering the room, Mate saw a sumptuous dinner table in the middle of the room.
Mate looked at the dishes on the table and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Wu, your culinary skills are quite good.
But where did you get these ingredients?".Entering the room, Mate saw a sumptuous dinner table in the middle of the room.
Mate looked at the dishes on the table and asked doubtfully, "Xiao Wu, your culinary skills are quite good.
But where did you get these ingredients from?"Zhanwu played with the chopsticks and said with a smile, "You've told me about it, but it's actually nothing much.
As for the ingredients, I killed the two chickens you raised..."The corners of Mate's mouth twitched, and he stared at Zhanwu speechlessly.
Zhanwu looked at Mate, who was still standing there, and asked curiously, "Grandpa Mate, what's wrong?
Why are you standing there?
Come and have a taste of my skills."Mate helplessly smiled and sat down in front of the table."Sigh...
this brat, forget it.
Just kill him.
Just treat it as nourishing your body."Mate picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and placed it in his mouth for a taste.
His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise, "Xiaowu, your skills are pretty good."Zhanwu scratched his head and said, "It's just average.
If you think it's delicious, then eat more."It didn't take long for the two of them to finish their meal.
They casually tossed away the chicken bone in their hands, and then began to lay down on their backs and lean against the backstool.
Then, they lazily reached out to grab a bamboo swab from the side and picked up the gaps between their teeth.
Then, they looked at Mate and said, "Grandpa Mate, how do you feel?
I think my skills are pretty good.""..."Mate smiled and wiped the grease off the corner of his mouth.
Then, he looked at Zhanwu's smug expression and nodded with a smile, "Xiaowu, your skills are pretty good.
I really didn't expect you to have such skills."Zhanwu chuckled, "Grandpa Mate, if you think it's delicious, I'll make it for you every day."Mate looked at Zhanwu with a smile plastered all over his face.
He couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart as he looked at the young man's innocent and mischievous smile.
He couldn't help but recall his past life.
He was lonely, with no wife and no children.
After a helpless discussion, he asked, "Xiaowu, where are your family members?"Just as he was stretching his teeth lazily, he suddenly heard Mate's sudden question.
His movements couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then he muttered indifferently, "It's all gone."As expected, Mate had already expected this.
Thus, when he heard Zhanwu's reply, he merely sighed in sympathy.
He didn't reveal any expression of astonishment.
As the two of them fell silent, the atmosphere in the room suddenly quieted down.
However, the silence didn't last long.
Instead, Mate suddenly asked, "Xiaowu, what are your plans for the future?"The tense atmosphere was broken.
Zhanwu, who was in the midst of his wild thoughts, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Mate's question.
He raised his head in a daze and stared straight into Mate's eyes, "Grandpa Mate, what did you say?
I didn't hear you clearly earlier.
Can you say it again?"Mate narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at Yanwu.
Then, he slowly said, "I'm saying, do you want to change your destiny?"Zhanwu stared blankly at Mate, who appeared to be smiling but not smiling.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that this seemingly ordinary old man in front of him seemed to possess something extraordinary within this thin and old body.
Mate stared at Zhanwu's stunned expression and raised the corners of his eyes."What?
Is this question hard to answer?"Upon hearing this, Zhanwu immediately retracted his dazed expression and shook his head.
With a bitter expression on his face, he slowly sighed, "Grandpa Mate, it's just that...
there are some things that I can't change."When Mate heard that, he didn't say anything.
He merely glanced at Zhanwu and smiled.
Then, he stood up and slowly walked into a room on the side.
Not long after, when Mate walked out of the room again, there was a silvery white scroll in his hand.Mate slowly arrived in front of Zhanwu.
He casually tossed the scroll in front of the somewhat dazed Zhanwu and chuckled softly, "Take a look."Zhanwu hurriedly received the ancient scroll that Mate had casually tossed over.
Then, he looked down and saw that on the surface of the scroll, there were three thick and vigorous characters written in the Eight Thunder Style.
Zhanwu looked at the scroll in his hand and raised his head to look at Mate, who was staring at him with a smile.
He gulped and asked with difficulty, "Grandpa Mate, this is..."Mate returned to his seat and slowly sat down.
He gently tapped his fingers on the table and smiled, "This is a technique for people to practice.""Arcane techniques?"When Zhanwu heard this, he seemed to have a feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall the battle he had witnessed in the square that day.
His hand unconsciously clenched the scroll in his hand.
He swallowed his saliva again, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with a burning heat.
He looked at Mate and said, "Grandpa Mate, did I learn this so-called technique?
If I were to learn it, I would be able to possess what we saw in the square that day, the two people's abilities."...""Why doesn't this kid know anything..."When Mate heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
However, he still patiently said, "Right, you are right.
It's just like that."When Zhanwu heard this, the burning heat in his eyes instantly intensified.
He asked in excitement, "Is it true?"Mate smiled and nodded.
Then, he turned around and asked, "Xiaowu, how much do you know about cultivation?"Zhanwu scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I...
I don't know anything about it..."Upon hearing Zhanwu's honest words, Mate opened his mouth.
This kid was indeed just a piece of white paper.
He nodded somewhat speechlessly, indicating that he understood the situation.
Mate pointed at a bookcase placed in the corner.
It was two to three meters wide, and was taller than a person.
"Xiao Wu, if you have time, you should take a good look at the book in the bookcase.""..."When Zhanwu heard this, he walked over to the bookshelf and opened the door.
A faint fragrance of paper wafted out.
The bookshelf was neatly filled with thick books.
Although they looked old, they were neat and tidy..Zhanwu casually pulled out a book from within and drew it in front of his eyes.
Then, he saw the words 'Master Art' appear on the cover of the book.
As soon as he read these books, he immediately understood Mate's intentions.
He turned to Mate and chuckled softly, "Grandpa Mate, don't worry.
I'll read these books carefully.""..."Then, he raised his hand and waved the scroll in his hand.
He looked at Mate and chuckled, "Grandpa Mate, how do you think I should cultivate this technique?"Mate looked at the expression on Zhanwu's face and rolled his eyes, "You don't even know the most basic of things.
How do you cultivate?"Hearing this, Zhanwu smiled sheepishly.
He was indeed a little impatient.In the following period of time, martial arts training had undergone a series of gruelling sessions, and he had finally gained a rough understanding of some of the cultivation methods on this continent.
It turned out that on this continent, cultivation relied primarily on absorbing yuan qi from between heaven and earth to cultivate.
As for yuan qi itself, it had no attributes to speak of.
As for attacks of different attributes, it was because the techniques used by cultivators were different.Therefore, based on the differences in strength, there were different levels.
Mate only briefly described the levels of the early stages.
At the same time, he also mentioned some special classes that were related to cultivation.
For example, the Lingshui Battle Wings he saw today was forged by another refiner.Finally, Mate looked up at the silver-white scroll in Zhanwu's hand and said, "After cultivating yuan qi in your body, you still need to practice a technique.
Because of the different degrees of power, the technique is divided into several grades.
The Eight Thunder Styles in your hand is a five rank lightning attribute technique.Its power was not small."..."After listening to Mate speak so much, he couldn't help but glance feverishly at the silver-white scroll in his hand.
However, he couldn't help but ask, "Then how high is the highest grade of this technique?"Mate looked at Zhanwu and smiled.
"From the first to the ninth rank, the techniques are divided into nine grades and the highest grade nine techniques.
However, above the ninth rank, there should be even more advanced techniques.
It's just that I've never seen them in my life."
