Xiao Yan Talks Love

Lou Cheng stood in front of the martial arts association, assuming an odd posture.

This is the introductory stance method recorded in the "Divine Flame Body Tempering Art".

The cultivation technique left to Xiao Yan by his master was extremely difficult to master, requiring a near-death experience.

With only mortal flesh and no activated supernatural abilities, being burned by raging flames would be terrifying, even with divine skills and secret manuals.

However, at that time, he was forced by Xiao Yan to inherit the divine skill manual, and he was an ordinary person who was powerless.

It's like a six-year-old child swaggering around with a lot of money; he could lose both his money and his life at any moment.

Even Xiao Yan said that if he couldn't master the skills in a short time, he wouldn't be the former's disciple.

At that time, I wonder how many people will come knocking on his door, skinning him alive and forcing him to spill the techniques from his head.

Under these circumstances, Lou Cheng gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, determined to succeed. After taking the "opportunity" that Xiao Yan had told him about, he began cultivating that very night!

"Thank goodness it's here!"

Lou Cheng closed his eyes and looked inward at the round, gleaming golden core inside his body, which gave him more confidence.

When I was practicing the Divine Flame Body Tempering Art, my skin was scorched by the flames and turned into charcoal little by little. Even my muscles became sticky.

The excruciating pain goes without saying.

Pain is something you can get used to.

At first, I even wanted to die, but I gradually endured it and my nerves became numb.

The aroma of the roasted meat lingered around Lou Cheng's nose for Jiujiu.

Now, Lou Cheng feels like S.P.E.W. whenever he sees or smells cooked meat.

After practicing the "Divine Flame Body Tempering Art" given to him by Xiao Yan, he became a vegetarian.

"I hope it's not a permanent psychological trauma. I used to be a carnivore!"

Lou Cheng sighed.

He now gets a physical reaction whenever the word "meat" is mentioned.

That's terrifying!

As his consciousness gradually cleared, Lou Cheng effortlessly entered a meditative state.

In this situation, the fiery core condensed by the "Divine Flame Body Tempering Art" also emitted Sisi of flame, absorbing the energy from every cell, constantly growing stronger, and shooting out from the pores, swirling around Lou Cheng's body.

Soon, his clothes were burned to ashes, leaving only his underwear.

These underwear were a treasure given to him by Xiao Yan. They had little defensive power and could only resist flames.

According to Xiao Yan, cultivating in such a public manner was a way to temper his mind.

According to Lou Cheng's rant, it should be about thickening one's skin.

In a meditative state, humans have almost no sense of the passage of time.

When Lou Zheng woke up again and opened his eyes, the setting sun was already hanging halfway up the mountain.

Beside him, a pure and beautiful young girl, as radiant as the moon, gazed intently at him, her smile captivating and her eyes sparkling.

Looking at her, he blushed and felt a surge of warmth in his heart as he held her close.

She stayed by his side the whole time while he was cultivating!

"Keke, let's go to Longquan Tower for dinner together? I've been cultivating for most of the day, and I'm really hungry."

Lou Cheng is blatantly lying.

Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant and its concentration has greatly increased, the "Divine Flame Body Tempering Art" that he cultivates is a top-notch secret manual in the world. After all, His Majesty the Flame Emperor would not leave a third-rate book for his disciple.

In this state of cultivation, Lou Cheng could be completely self-sufficient, just like the immortals in ancient legends, living on air and dew.

However, what he drank was not dew or the west wind, but a wisp of Primordial Spirit True Fire generated after the life flame ignited the spiritual energy.

Inhaling and exhaling the Primordial Spirit True Fire can cleanse the body and soul, leaving the physical orifices pure and Muku.

With Lou Cheng's current level of cultivation, eating ordinary grains is equivalent to actively polluting his body. Even the blood and flesh of Ferocious Beasts, which other martial artists regard as treasures, contain a lot of impurities for him. Not only will it not bring any benefits, but it will also erode and damage his body. Afterwards, he will need to spend a lot of time using life flames to cleanse his body.

The reason he brought up eating was simply because he wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend Yan Zheke.

Upon hearing Lou Cheng's words, Yan Zheke, unaware of his cultivation level and state, smiled.

Just as Yan Zheke was about to agree...

Whoosh!

A sharp, hot wind blew in.

The figure of the boy in black appeared in front of Yan Zheke and Lou Cheng.

"Master... Master!"

Lou Cheng's face turned pale, and he lowered his head.

Xiao Yan ignored him and instead focused his gaze on Yan Zheke: "I have something to say to my disciple. You may leave now."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan waved one hand.

A snow-white barrier of flames enveloped Lou Cheng and Xiao Yan.

"Alright, this is a soundproof zone, and even sights cannot be transmitted out. You can tell the truth now."

Xiao Yan sighed, "What do you think of Yan Zheke?"

Lou Cheng replied without hesitation, "It's true love! I want to marry her and grow old with her!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan curled his lip and said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Do you know why she likes you?"

Lou Cheng was stunned.

He had never considered this question.

Xiao Yan, however, paid no attention to his little disciple's thoughts and said to himself, "This girl's heart for martial arts far surpasses yours! Her sincerity and dedication to martial arts are ten times, a hundred times stronger than yours!"

"Because of her physical condition and talent, she knew she wouldn't achieve anything in martial arts, so she changed her mind."

"The reason she's dating you is actually a form of transference; she's transferring her passion for martial arts onto you."

"You are a genius boy with outstanding martial arts talent, and with a master like me, your future is limitless."

"Besides, you like her, so she lowered her standards and started dating you."

"Do you think you have personal charm? Are you rich? Or are you more handsome than Pan An? You don't have any of those qualities, so why would anyone be interested in you?"

Why would someone date you?

Each word was like a Cruciatus Curse knife, piercing deeply into Lou Cheng's heart.

"It can be said that as long as a martial arts genius with above-average character and decent appearance confesses his feelings to her, she will not refuse."

"You can be replaced!"

You are not the only one!

"If I expel you from the sect, cripple your cultivation, and cut off your future, do you think she'll continue dating you? Or will she find another boyfriend?"

"You treat her as your everything, but you are not her everything."

Having said that, Xiao Yan said no more.

Lou Cheng is a promising talent with the potential to become a grandmaster, and he doesn't want to see his disciple ruined by romantic entanglements.

For some, emotions are a cure, an obsession, that can help elevate one's spiritual realm.

For young people like Lou Cheng, it's quite the opposite.

Xiao Yan's admonition made Lou Cheng's face turn pale.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head. "Master, I understand what you're saying. I can't refute it, but when it comes to feelings, that's just how it is, I can't control myself."
