Qin and the "White Tiger Art"

"The Grandmaster: At least that's how you appear to be."

"Corresponding title: Martial Artist with good looks and temperament (Non-professional recognition +50)"

"I see."

See here.

Roger understood.

He had been wondering why Martial Artist needed charm, but the title's attributes had already revealed everything.

Improving the product's appearance is to attract more people!

Unlike other professions, Martial Artist develop their skills and knowledge in groups or schools.

The development of a sect cannot be separated from the contributions of a large number of disciples.

Highly gifted martial arts geniuses require a massive population to cultivate.

Therefore, how to better recruit disciples has become the primary problem troubling martial arts masters.

A good temperament and image are certainly a big plus.

Therefore, all the Clear Spring Sect Leader throughout history have been heroic and extraordinary.

Even if they are not good-looking.

But she definitely has a firm grasp on the aspect of temperament.

The saying "clothes make the man" is no joke.

Roger's charisma was not particularly outstanding in Mystra.

But after changing into the standard leader's attire, his aura surged dramatically.

If we convert it to charm...

It needs to have close to 14 points in attributes.

This is already a number that is extremely damaging to ordinary people.

certainly.

The aura of Grandmaster is not simply reflected in showing off or being cool, but more so in his composed and dignified presence.

Unlike sorcerers who rely on charm for their livelihood.

A martial arts master's aura combines approachability, intimidation, and personal charisma...

It's the kind of feeling that "even if someone has an ordinary appearance, they can still captivate people with their every move."

The effect of clothing certainly plays a role here.

But it is also closely related to 'qi'.

In short.

Roger suddenly became handsome.

The only problem is...

No one can appreciate his good looks.

The only two women in the dojo are a pneumatic robot and a blind woman.

He walked with his hands behind his back.

I studied the manners of past leaders and spent most of the day wandering among the pavilions and towers.

In the end.

Only the Woodpecker sincerely praised, "The master is truly wonderful."

Roger felt uneasy after hearing this.

My nose feels sore.

Secret Vault.

Roger, having failed to impress, frantically sought psychological compensation.

The mountains of gold and silver greatly alleviated the loneliness deep in his heart.

What's even more impressive are those Martial Arts Jade Slip that feel smooth to the touch.

This is the true treasure of the Clear Spring Sect! Each jade slip is pressed under a thin booklet.

The booklet contains the names and descriptions of martial arts techniques inscribed on jade slips.

These 69 jade slips.

It thus gathered all the unique skills of the leaders of the Clear Spring Sect throughout the ages!

This includes the Qu Feng of "Small Capturing Hands Technique".

As for the Mountain Splitting Fist and the Shattering Palm.

These superb martial arts skills are not within the scope of the jade slip's recording.

The value of these jade slips is evident! Faced with such unparalleled martial arts, Roger dared not be careless.

He spent most of the day on it.

Only then did they select a suitable martial art for themselves and Qin.

Considering the speed of Qin's progress.

Roger found her immediately.

After carefully explaining the great significance of the jade slip to the girl.

Only then did he formally teach Qin the martial art called "White Tiger Art".

Qin is a very pure girl.

After obtaining the jade slip.

She immediately grasped the meaning without any distractions.

But this time...

Something happened that made Roger secretly very happy—

Qin repeatedly encountered setbacks in her attempt to comprehend the White Tiger Art!

It took her six hours to grasp the concept on her first try.

And it failed!

This filled Roger with gratitude and admiration for the previous leader who created the White Tiger Art.

The White Tiger Art perfectly resolved his teacher anxiety, at least he no longer had to worry about being surpassed by Qin in a short period of time.

certainly.

Teaching apprentices should not be based on punishment.

Roger would still go and give Jean some emotional support every now and then.

"It's okay, you're already very good."

"When your teacher was your age, he was still killing Magic Explosion Frog!"

"What? You're over eighty years old? Hmm, you're still a child in my eyes..."

"This level of martial arts is indeed quite difficult. If it were me, it would take me quite a while to master it."

In response to this.

The girl appeared both frustrated and stubborn.

"Is the teacher just trying to comfort me? If it were you, you would have learned it by now, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I can solve my own problems!"

Roger was very satisfied with the piano's performance.

After confirming that there were no problems with her spiritual practice.

He then began his own spiritual practice.

Roger chose a jade slip for himself called "Qi Devouring Art".

This was created by a leader who advanced to the Qi Master profession.

This technique is a genuine internal energy cultivation martial art.

Its guiding principle is to increase the amount of Qi in one's own body by consuming the free Qi between heaven and earth.

Ultimately, it will reach the point of "swallowing the universe"!

Judging from the description in the pamphlet, this is a very domineering martial art.

Most importantly, it perfectly aligns with Roger's development philosophy.

So he chose it without hesitation.

However.

When Roger began to comprehend the "Qi Devouring Art".

An accident has occurred!...

"Hint: Your comprehension is less than 20 points, so you cannot learn martial arts through the Martial Arts Jade Slip."

"Ah, this..."

Roger only had a headache for two or three seconds.

He then decisively put the jade slip containing the "Qi Devouring Art" back in its original place.

It's obviously impossible for him to put all the remaining Attribute Points into "Comprehension".

Therefore, these jade slips became mere decorations for Roger!

Considering that there are no Martial Arts Manual in the secret vault.

For Roger, the only valuable things in the vault besides the impressive set of equipment and the gold and silver scattered around were...

All that's left are the books!

"Never mind."

"Instead of thinking about how to cultivate properly... it would be better to go out and wander around and see if I can meet someone I like who can help me increase my Qi."

"No wonder the Master Qu Feng left behind those stick figures; he was afraid that the next generation's leaders wouldn't be very perceptive..."

Looking at the Clear Wind Token and Jade Spring Token in his hand.

Then he looked at the stubborn girl in the courtyard halfway up the mountain, tightly clutching the jade slip as she tried to comprehend martial arts.

Roger felt a mix of emotions.

"However, after opening the secret vault, I gained partial control over the ' Mountain Protection Array.'"

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

The pixelated style above suddenly changed into a realistic blue sky.

In the sky.

There were also patches of shadow floating regularly.

Those are floating islands and Truth Mountain.

The Mountain Protection Array now presents a view of the surface of the Ruins Area.

Suddenly.

Thick feathers fell from higher up on the floating island.

Goose feathers fell on the Xiang Nan Tree in the Ruins Area.

It blended in slightly in no time.

"It's snowing."

Roger muttered something to himself.

Another winter has arrived.

winter.

It was the season Roger traveled to this world.

This was also the "accumulation" time he set for himself.

He usually doesn't go hunting during this season.

Instead, they stay in a fixed location and digest the results of the past year.

This winter will be no exception.

There is so much for Roger to see, learn, and do—

The history of Tarun and Clear Spring Sect is recorded in the secret library.

The worldview of the Truth Society and its research on the destruction of the world by the gods.

Ether Knowledge, knowledge of constructs, knowledge of toxins, Arcane Knowledge...

Organizing this massive amount of information is a huge undertaking in itself.

at the same time.

Roger also had to practice boxing and internal energy training every day, as well as shooting and grenades, to ensure that his skills as a Hidden Hero were never neglected.

After that.

He also had to find time to research and create various items, mostly in the field of pharmacy in previous years.

This year, I was tempted by the Myriad Grid Pouch.

The natural transition seamlessly shifted into the realm of tailoring.

In this way...

Compared to the hunting season, Roger was busier and more tired in winter, but his life was also more fulfilling.

Roger took a day off, except for the day of Jean's birthday.

The rest of the time he's as busy as a robot.

certainly.

Roger's efforts were not without reward.

At least when Qin received the "100 Tinder Pouch" made by Roger himself, she was so happy that she shed tears.

After wiping away the tears.

The girl's stubbornness once again prevailed.

She began to insist on declining.

She only accepted it hesitantly after Roger lied to her that it was standard equipment for Clear Spring Sect Disciple.

"Thank you, teacher..."

She said this very softly.

"This must be the most amazing storage device in the world, with a total of 400 compartments... Even Grandma would be amazed when she sees it, right?"

This sentence.

The girl sighed loudly.

That moment.

Roger gently touched his waist and smiled without saying a word.

There.

A 6000-grit Tinder Pouch is quietly and obediently pinned to the side.

Judging from the appearance.

The bag is not much different from Qin's.

After that day.

Roger threw himself back into his daily studies and work.

in this case.

The saying "time flies" is no longer just a cliché.

Winter goes and spring comes.

In the blink of an eye.

That was four months later.

Endless Labyrinth.

The third layer.

"Boom!"

Second Form.

Roger delivered a vicious and deadly strangulation with his tail.

The "Raider Lord" guarding the pass collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Aside from a large amount of material.

The platform symbolizing customs clearance also rose up.

However, unlike in the past...

This time, the reward for completing the level is no longer a choice of three.

Instead, it was a piece of letter paper with gold foil stamping.

"Hint: You have received an invitation from Asgard."

Roger found the texture of the paper and the format of the letter familiar.

"I cordially invite you to visit my study. On December 14th, Beneath the Immortal Palace, please make sure to come!"

The signature reads "The man closest to Asgard: Hediwala."

"Extraordinary Perception: You have realized that this invitation is not as simple as it appears on the surface. It is not just an invitation, but a key from the 'Virtual Realm'."

"You're beginning to decipher the true meaning of the invitation..."

Ah, could you spare me a few monthly tickets...? A few hot guys suddenly appeared on the leaderboard overnight and completely stunned me...
