The Star Shuttle moved swiftly, leaving Tianning Star far behind them.
Before long, Jiujiu heard a gentle, pleasant mechanical voice from the Star Shuttle's intercom. "Attention, passengers. In five minutes, the Star Shuttle will undergo its first faster-than-light spatial transition. The transition will last twenty-six minutes. Please remain seated and fasten your safety restraints during the transition."
Wei Lanshan personally fastened Jiujiu's restraints, securing her in her seat. She told her to close her eyes, not speak, and especially not use Mental Power.
During a Star Shuttle transition, the speed would become extremely high. First-time passengers would inevitably experience some discomfort.
Following Wei Lanshan's instructions, Jiujiu closed her eyes. Listening to the various background noises within the Star Shuttle, she slowly began to feel sleepy.
By the time she woke up, more than an hour had passed. The Star Shuttle had completed two more transitions, and they were already far from Tianning Star, the main planet.
After three more spatial transitions, they would leave the jurisdiction of the Tianning Star System.
What a magical world!
With her pitifully limited knowledge, she knew that even the closest distance between two star systems spanned several light-years. Farther ones could be more than ten light-years apart, while more distant ones might be dozens or even hundreds of light-years away.
Jiujiu calculated the distance in her head. She only needed to sleep for another three hours before reaching the Jinke Star System, which they would pass through on their way to Aola Star.
Seeing that she had awakened, Wei Lanshan asked with concern, "Jiujiu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
It was Jiujiu's first time riding such a Star Shuttle, and she was still so young. Wei Lanshan worried that she might suffer a deep-space reaction.
"Aunt Lan, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. Don't worry." Jiujiu shook her head.
Jiujiu no longer felt sleepy after waking up. Seeing this, Wei Lanshan began teaching her Martial Skills.
The Star Shuttle's cabin was spacious enough, and Jiujiu was small, so she had plenty of room to move.
They would surely encounter many dangers along the way. Wei Lanshan wanted Jiujiu to gain a little more ability to protect herself.
Without hesitation, she taught Jiujiu her own Martial Skills. The master who had taught her had said that she could decide the future inheritance of her skills herself, without reporting it to her sect—and Jiujiu happened to catch her eye.
Jiujiu learned with great seriousness. Large beads of sweat formed on her forehead, and her little face was solemn. Having lived a second life, she cherished her life all the more.
This world was so wonderful. She did not want to die miserably again before seeing more of the universe's scenery.
So she had to become strong!
She had to develop skills equal to Wei Lanshan's, or even surpass her.
Otherwise, she could be killed in minutes. This world was dazzling and wonderful, but also dangerous. Tearing a person apart with bare hands was probably easy enough. Honestly, she was terrified.
She was alone. Only with absolute strength to protect herself would she avoid being manipulated by others at will.
Besides, she would most likely have to serve in the military someday. The more skills she had, the better. These would all become her trump cards for survival.
Jiujiu had been a very serious person in her previous life. For that person, she had even specifically learned martial arts to strengthen her body, so she could quickly grasp what Wei Lanshan taught her.
Once again, Wei Lanshan could not help but marvel—what a genius!
Jiujiu secretly reveled in it. She did not know whether she was a genius or not, but none of this seemed particularly difficult to her. Besides, she had a cheating tool.
She had learned that Wei Lanshan's great strength, and the reason she could unleash such tremendous explosive force, came from combining her physical fitness with Mental Power.
With Mental Power enhancing them, even a simple punch could become a killing move.
Jiujiu memorized all the moves, making sure she would never forget them again. Then she decided that from now on, she would spend three hours practicing every day. She would also diligently learn how to use Mental Power.
Wei Lanshan was overcome with emotion. It had taken her seven days just to memorize the moves, and more than ten years of grueling practice to attain her current skill.
"Jiujiu, rest for a while if you're tired. These Martial Skills are all about gradual accumulation."
"Okay, Aunt Lan."
