Chapter 10: Yan Strikes Back with Tenfold Feedback!
In the forest behind the Xiao Family residence,
Sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.
As two figures swiftly moved, they stirred up a gentle breeze, causing tiny specks of dust to dance in the air, shaping the sunlight.
Beams of light formed in the forest, resembling golden spotlights converging for the duel between the two.
Xiao Ze's palm emitted a faint blue aura of fighting energy as he calmly struck towards Xiao Xuner.
Xiao Xuner's hands shimmered with golden fighting energy, resembling streams of golden light flowing through her fingertips.
In the lush forest, the golden glow from Xiao Xuner's fingers was even more brilliant than the sunlight.
Bam!
Xiao Ze and Xiao Xuner separated as soon as they made contact. Xiao Xuner's petite figure flipped several times in the air before gently landing on the dry leaves, resembling a beautiful golden butterfly.
Anyone who had observed the fight near the Martial Hall a few days ago would find this scene very familiar.
Xiao Xuner's movements were almost identical to Xiao Ze's previous ones, effortlessly and gracefully defending against her opponent's attacks.
Xiao Ze felt as if his palm had struck a layer of cotton, with his strength barely being released.
A few days ago, Xiao Ze needed to occasionally speak up and offer guidance, but as time passed, he found it unnecessary to speak anymore.
Xiao Ze had done everything he could, leaving Xiao Xuner to comprehend on her own.
And just now, Xiao Xuner clearly grasped the essence of Yan Strikes Back.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ze's mind stirred, and he immediately rushed forward again. However, this time, he suppressed his strength to the ninth level of fighting energy.
A flash of golden light glinted in Xiao Xuner's eyes as she slightly smiled with her rosy lips.
Approaching Xiao Ze in the same manner, she emitted golden fighting energy from her fingertips.
Although Xiao Xuner's palms were fair and delicate, they burst forth with formidable power.
The result of this encounter was completely different from the previous one. Xiao Ze was directly sent flying backward.
Feeling a slight numbness in his palm, Xiao Ze smiled. As Xiao Xuner's opponent, he could feel what had happened.
At first, his palm felt like it struck a layer of cotton, but then he felt something hard like steel behind the cotton!
Not only did it return all his strength, but it also enhanced it!
That's why Xiao Ze was sent flying backward!
Xiao Xuner quickly ran over, her bright eyes already crescent-shaped with visible joy.
"Big Brother Xiao Ze, I've mastered Yan Strikes Back!"
"Indeed, being able to precisely adjust the balance between borrowing force and exerting force based on the opponent's strength is enough to be considered mastery!"
Xiao Ze lightly descended from the tree and nodded in approval.
Hearing Xiao Ze's praise, Xiao Xuner's smile became even more apparent, tinged with a hint of cunning.
"Finally mastering the advanced stage. These days have been exhausting, Big Brother Xiao Ze, don't you plan to reward me?"
"Ah, shouldn't it be you rewarding me? These days spent with you have almost worn me out."
Xiao Ze pretended to be surprised, putting on a weak appearance.
"Well, maybe you should reward me instead? How would you like to do that, Big Brother Xiao Ze?"
As Xiao Xuner spoke, she approached Xiao Ze, her breath fragrant.
As she mentioned "reward," she even extended her tender tongue, moistening her rosy lips.
"Cough, I don't really need anything... How about you treat me to a nice meal?"
Xiao Ze covered his mouth with his hand, coughed, and then said.
"A nice meal... the finest restaurant in Wutan City, a lavish feast, that's quite sincere, isn't it?"
"Haha, sure, I've heard that the Beast Feast there is unforgettable."
Xiao Ze applauded, "Let's set the time for half an hour from now, we'll meet at the Xiao Family gate?"
"How about an hour from now?" Xiao Xuner suggested, taking a small step back.
"It's my first time going out with Big Brother Xiao Ze, I want more time to prepare properly, maybe take a good bath, look, I'm all sweaty!"
"Sweaty?" Xiao Ze repeated, then leaned forward a bit, sniffing, and jokingly said.
"I don't smell any sweat, just a pleasant scent."
"Haha, Big Brother Xiao Ze, you're just making things up. Who sweats and still smells good?"
Xiao Xuner burst into laughter, not resisting when Xiao Ze sniffed around her, instead feeling a hint of joy.
"Yes, that's how my little sister Xuner is, right?"
Xiao Ze showered her with cheesy compliments; nurturing affection from a young age was important.
Although that was the case, Xiao Ze had never made any inappropriate moves.
They were both still young, and Xiao Ze restrained himself, not doing anything inappropriate to Xiao Xuner.
Xiao Ze also understood that Xiao Xuner's ancient clan bloodline was still unstable.
Before reaching sanctification, it was best to maintain her innocence.
This was crucial for Xiao Xuner's growth!
"Alright, enough of these embarrassing words!"
Xiao Xuner lightly tapped Xiao Ze and then ran back a few steps like a startled rabbit.
Then, with a smile on her face, she waved to Xiao Ze and ran back to her room to prepare.
Seeing Xiao Xuner's figure disappear from view, Xiao Ze shifted his attention back to his system panel.
"[Xiao Xuner has mastered Yan Strikes Back, strength increased!]"
"[Congratulations to the host for obtaining tenfold feedback, true essence: Borrowing Force to Strike Force (Entry Level)!"
After Xiao Ze chose to receive it, he quickly understood what this so-called true essence was.
It was like a concept. Xiao Ze could create new martial arts by integrating other martial arts.
Even in the future, Xiao Ze could directly create a large number of martial arts based on this true essence of Borrowing Force to Strike Force!
"Mastering the key to creating martial arts..."
Xiao Ze pondered, pleasantly surprised by this tenfold feedback.
Originally, he thought he would be rewarded with a more advanced martial art.
Unexpectedly, the essence and core of Yan Strikes Back were displayed before him.
It was not impossible for Xiao Ze to grasp the true essence himself.
However, it might take him decades of daily practice with this type of martial arts to comprehend the true essence of Borrowing Force to Strike Force.
Under the tenfold feedback, he saved himself so many years of effort.
Of course, Xiao Ze was very satisfied.
"I should get ready. This is the first time going out with Xuner. An hour of preparation time is more than sufficient!"
Just as Xiao Ze stepped out of the forest, he saw a figure. His eyebrows couldn't help but raise as he walked over.
"Third Brother... are you waiting for me on purpose?"
Seeing Xiao Yan standing there absent-mindedly, Xiao Ze approached him.
This was the first time they had seen each other in several days, but Xiao Yan felt completely different.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Ze exuded a more dazzling genius aura than before.
"Yeah, I came specifically to thank you today."
Xiao Yan smiled, but there seemed to be a hint of estrangement.
Sensing this, Xiao Ze walked up without hesitation, hugged Xiao Yan's shoulders, and lightly thumped his chest.
"Third Brother! We're blood brothers, why are you speaking so formally?"
"But... wasn't it because of me that you can't be low-key anymore?"
Xiao Yan hesitated.
"Seeing my brother being beaten, and still being able to stay low-key, wouldn't I be less than human?"
Xiao Ze said indifferently, "And besides, being low-key before was just to avoid unnecessary trouble and focus on cultivation."
"Now that I've shown talent, and Father has shielded me from those things, it's no different from before for me."
With Xiao Ze's explanation, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Xiao Ze tightly, and said seriously.
"Fourth Brother, thank you!"
Please, dear readers, continue reading. Now it's recommended to advance to the end and keep reading. Thank you!
