Immortal Martial: Pushing Through Two Realms From Reality Section 43

It seems he was truly dedicated to martial arts, unconcerned with anything else.

Every day, precisely at eight o'clock, he arrived at the hotel to teach me how to practice the Horse Stance.

If I was willing, I'd practice with him. If I wasn't, he'd practice alone.

Aside from meals and brief rests in between.

For eight hours a day, he stood in the Horse Stance. Not even glancing sideways!

Just the other day, she had been wondering if it was because she had recently arrived in Jicheng City and wasn't adjusting well to the climate, causing her complexion to worsen.

But after looking in the mirror, there was no problem at all!

She was fine.

Therefore, the problem could only be with Jiang Shu.

He was already in his third year of high school. It's not possible that he hasn't awakened yet, right?

Unable to resist glancing at Jiang Shu's entire body, Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, then couldn't help but ask, "You're going to college soon. Jiang Shu, don't you plan to find a girlfriend?"

"No plans."

Jiang Shu stood in the Horse Stance, feeling an indescribable joy as the proficiency of the Horse Stance on his status panel ticked up.

What could compare to an increase in strength?

It was a shame that after mastering the Horse Stance, the martial arts of Xuan Star had reached a temporary limit.

He needed to learn the Guiding Technique to comprehend Clear Force.

He wondered what the difference was between Clear Force and the force in the "Roaring Tiger Mountain Strength."

Were the martial arts of these two worlds similar in their essence, or were they completely different paths?

All of this, perhaps, could only be understood once he had a grasp of "Roaring Tiger Mountain Strength" and the Guiding Technique.

Jiang Shu thought to himself, his posture in the Horse Stance becoming steadier and steadier.

For him at this moment, practicing martial arts anywhere was the same.

Coming to teach Ye Zhenzhen the Horse Stance at her place, if she could practice, she could practice. It was enough as long as she could strike a pose. After all, martial arts promotional videos were just for promotion.

No one would take them seriously.

Jiang Shu's reply was casual.

But Ye Zhenzhen's question was far from casual.

Could it be... he's gay?

Looking at Jiang Shu, whose hair was noticeably longer than that of boys his age, Ye Zhenzhen tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and continued, "Jiang Shu, I heard some Taoist priest say before that those with great cultivation absorb vital energy. Since it's still early today, how about we go up the mountain to take a look?"

"Whatever."

Jiang Shu, already feeling a bit cooped up in the hotel suite, readily agreed.

The Xishan Kaiyuan Hotel.

It was located at the foot of the Jicheng mountain range.

Its location was secluded, and the air was fresh.

It was precisely this aspect that Ye Zhenzhen had favored when choosing to stay there temporarily.

Not long after, the two of them walked out of the hotel and ascended the mountain along stone steps.

The bamboo forest was dense, and the birdsong echoed through the tranquil mountains.

The fresh scent of the earth entered Jiang Shu's nostrils with the gentle breeze.

Jiang Shu took a gentle breath and stopped in an open space, saying, "We'll stop around here. The view is wide open, making it easiest to practice martial arts. I told you on the first day, the Horse Stance emphasizes an 'empty crown, a body aligned, and a spirit unfurled.' Come, stand here for a moment."

"Going up the mountain to sightsee also counts as practicing martial arts... This is killing me!"

She thought to herself but dared not say it aloud.

Ye Zhenzhen wore a look of despair. She was now 90% sure that Jiang Shu was gay. A normal guy, upon meeting a big star like her, would at least try to make small talk and build some rapport, right?

In the hotel, he always claimed his agent might come in at any moment, making him hesitant to say more.

But now, it was just the two of them, and they were in a secluded mountain area.

With this terrain.

And this atmosphere.

Yet, the first thing he said was for her to practice martial arts?

She was impressed.

Ye Zhenzhen was truly impressed. She steadied her breathing and stood in the Horse Stance next to Jiang Shu.

However, just as she was completely steady, a rustling sound suddenly came from the grass beside them.

She instinctively lowered her head to look.

Through the sparse grass, she saw a viper, as thick as an arm, its body grayish-brown. It was coiled, its triangular head raised high, flicking its tongue at her!

If not for the Horse Stance she had just adopted still having some form to it, that one look would have been enough to make her collapse to the ground!

"Jiang... Jiang Shu... there's... there's a snake..."

Ye Zhenzhen stammered, her voice very soft. She didn't dare move at all, afraid of attracting the viper's attention.

"Don't move."

Jiang Shu, standing right beside her, instantly shifted his Horse Stance into the Hungry Tiger Sitting Cave Stance.

The fully realized Hungry Tiger Sitting Cave Stance, the Hungry Tiger Breathing Method.

Within a single breath, Jiang Shu's entire body's aura condensed. The fully realized Tiger Form Three Styles could be unleashed at any moment!

His gaze was fixed on the viper in the grass.

"Good, now, move towards me, little by little."

Hearing Jiang Shu's voice beside her, there was an inexpressible steadiness.

But no matter how steady he sounded, she was still facing a venomous viper!

Ye Zhenzhen closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. She could only choose to trust Jiang Shu now.

Forget it, forget it, she'd take a gamble!

If she really got bitten, she'd just end up staying in the hospital for a few months at worst!

Making up her mind, Ye Zhenzhen took a step towards Jiang Shu.

However, the moment she took that step, the viper in the grass shot out as if it were sprung from a coil.

Its tongue flicked out, and a foul smell seemed to rush towards her!

Ye Zhenzhen froze in place, stunned.

She suddenly didn't know what to do.

She only heard a burst of whistling wind from behind her.

Tiger Form Three Styles.

Pounce!

Jiang Shu lunged forward, unleashing a punch that slammed into the viper in mid-air.

Then, he flipped and kicked.

Snip!

He swept out with his leg, his toes hitting the viper, driving it directly into the nearest large tree!

"Bang!"

Countless leaves rained down.

In an instant.

The viper, as thick as an arm, was actually kicked in half by Jiang Shu's immense strength!

Only two sections of its body remained on the ground, twisting and trembling.

Pulling the still-dazed Ye Zhenzhen behind him, Jiang Shu stepped forward and stomped on the head of the viper, which was still trying to attack again.

He pressed down hard, and blood splattered.

Without looking back, he said softly:

"It's okay now."

Jiang Shu retracted his foot and stood steadily.

Little did he know that in Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, his every movement, his every stillness, was not at all like an ordinary high school junior, but more like a ferocious tiger ready to devour someone at any moment!

How could such a young man be gay!
