Charm Technique Lv3, Leave the Rest to Me

Charm Technique Lv3, Leave the Rest to Me

"He's so handsome, and so tall..."

"Waaah, he even has a cat sitting on his shoulder. That's way too cute."

"Why is even the cat so good-looking? I should sneak a photo from this angle. It'll definitely go viral if I post it online."

On the bustling streets of the East District, skyscrapers stood in dense rows. Xue Jing stood there with Maomao, his overly youthful face seeming somewhat out of place amid the surroundings.

He could faintly hear several pretty office ladies in refined makeup whispering among themselves nearby, while the Charm Technique experience on his panel kept rising.

Someone has developed a favorable impression of you. Charm Technique experience +1

Someone has developed a favorable impression of you. Charm Technique experience +1

Someone has developed a favorable impression of you. Charm Technique experience +1

Someone has developed a favorable impression of you...

Charm Technique has risen to Lv3 (0/500)

After closing the panel, Xue Jing asked, "Are you sure I won't get beaten to death on the spot if I go up there and challenge the dojo like this?"

Maomao first gave the young man a puzzled look, then sniffed him.

Why does he suddenly seem even better-looking? And he smells nicer too...

She shook her head and did not dwell on it. Maomao gave a soft huff. "Since this Sect Leader told you to come straight here, of course I'm confident."

"In fact, this is the proper way to enter the Hidden Dragon Dojo."

Xue Jing asked curiously, "Oh? How so?"

Maomao's tail brushed across Xue Jing's cheek before curling around his neck.

"The dojo's disciples are ranked too. Those who got in just by paying may be taught seriously, but if they lack talent, they still won't amount to much. If the dojo wants to maintain its reputation, it has to rely on true inner disciples. Those are the ones with talent."

"As for how inner disciples are selected... every dojo has its own methods. One of the Hidden Dragon Dojo's methods is 'self-recommendation.'"

"On the martial path, temperament is especially important. Only with an invincible spirit can one throw invincible punches. If you're confident that you have sufficient talent and dare to demonstrate it to the dojo, you'll have a chance to become an inner disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dojo."

"And what better way is there to demonstrate your temperament and talent than challenging the dojo?"

Maomao teased, "You barely know any martial arts, yet you dared to come challenge a dojo. Old Man Li will definitely appreciate such peerless talent and earth-shattering wisdom."

Xue Jing said speechlessly, "What if I get the crap beaten out of me after going in?"

"You won't."

Maomao shook her head.

"The dojo needs to save face to protect its reputation, so they'll generally only send someone around your age to accept the challenge."

"Though you've only just learned how to use strength, your physical fitness is unbelievably strong. That's extremely rare for someone your age. People your age in the Hidden Dragon Dojo presumably won't be a match for you."

"Besides, we're not actually trying to succeed in challenging the dojo. Even if you get beaten badly after going in, as long as the people in the dojo see your talent and potential, our goal will have been achieved."

"Anyway, stop overthinking it. Hurry inside, say you're here to challenge the dojo, and leave the rest to me!"

Maomao urged.

"..."

Xue Jing nodded. "All right."

After all, this was a chance to enter the dojo for free, and he was quite confident in his current self.

He opened his panel and took a look.

Fitness Lv4 (139/1200)

Health Cultivation Lv2 (109/500)

Cooking Lv3 (12/800)

Running Lv4 (873/1200)

Charm Technique Lv3 (12/800)

Aim Lv2 (169/500)

Fighting Lv1 (196/300)

Moving Strength Lv1 (12/300)

Over the past three days, although he had spent most of his time researching how to use breathing to mobilize strength, he had also grinded quite a bit of experience in his other skills.

Fitness had seen the greatest gains, rising from Lv3 to Lv4. His physical fitness had been strengthened considerably once again. His bench press had reached two hundred kilograms, and while he had not tested his punching force, he estimated it was at least two hundred and forty kilograms.

If he used strength, he had no idea how powerful a punch he could unleash.

Right now, he was only afraid that he would fail to hold back and accidentally beat someone to death.

With Maomao on his shoulder, he entered the Office Building. After getting into the elevator, he pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.

This office building was a Grade A building located in the land-expensive East District, so the rent was exorbitant. Yet the Hidden Dragon Dojo had rented out an entire floor. With an area of two thousand square meters, Xue Jing made a rough calculation and found that the monthly rent had to be at least four hundred thousand Zhu Xia Currency. They were clearly quite wealthy.

The elevator reached the seventeenth floor. When the doors opened, a long corridor lay before him. At its end stood an automatic glass door, above which hung a plaque bearing four flamboyant characters—Hidden Dragon Dojo.

Xue Jing entered through the doors with Maomao. The moment they stepped inside, Maomao left behind the words, "Just go challenge the dojo. Leave the rest to me," then leaped off his shoulder and dashed into the dojo, disappearing somewhere.

"Challenge the dojo... how am I supposed to do that? I've never done this before..."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing walked over to the reception desk not far from the entrance. A female receptionist sat there, dressed in a cheongsam uniform, with both a fine figure and pretty face.

"Miss."

Xue Jing walked up, a smile like warm winter sunlight appearing on his handsome face.

The girl had been secretly slacking off on her phone. Startled by the sudden voice, she hurriedly looked up. "Yes, what can I..."

Before she could finish, she froze upon seeing the young man before her.

She saw a sea of flowers, saw the stars, saw her first love whose appearance she had long forgotten, saw the embodiment of every beautiful thing in the world...

Someone has developed a strong favorable impression of you. Charm Technique experience +54

"..." Seeing the message appear on his panel, Xue Jing paused and withdrew the smile from his lips.

Only then did the girl snap back to her senses. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head, rose to her feet, and said at a loss, "Y-you... hello. How can I help you?"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced up at Xue Jing.

My God... how could there be someone this good-looking in the world...

Xue Jing hesitated before saying awkwardly, "Uh... please notify them that I'm here to challenge the dojo."

The girl said, "Huh?"

Meanwhile, after slipping into the Hidden Dragon Dojo, Maomao seemed extremely familiar with the place. With a clear destination in mind, she made several turns before arriving outside a room marked "Mind Cultivation Room."

The instant she reached the door, a slightly aged voice came from within. "Come in."

Even through a door, he had directly noticed her nearly soundless cat steps.

Maomao was not surprised in the slightest. Extending a white-gloved paw, she pushed open the door and entered.

In the spacious room sat only an old man in a wheelchair, dressed in the classic elderly-man outfit of a white tank top and shorts, with a shiny bald crown atop his head.

"It's been a long time, Old Man Li," Maomao said softly, her gaze complicated.

"Hm? That voice... Ning Yatou?"

Li Qi said in surprise.

"You little girl, where did you run off to? You were alive, yet you didn't even let this old man know you were safe. Lately, I've been racing around in my wheelchair every day looking for you. I'm exhausted."

Li Qi rubbed his bald crown and sighed as he shook his head.

"Cut it out. You perverted little bald old man, the only reason you race around in your wheelchair is to blow up high school girls' skirts."

Maomao curled her lip disdainfully.

Old Man Li was displeased. "Hey, who are you calling little?"

"So you don't deny being a perverted bald man..." Maomao said speechlessly.

"Enough nonsense. I only came to find you for one reason..."

Please keep reading! I'm begging you, please!
