"Master, please accept my bow!"
Seeing this scene, the pragmatic Kou Zhong knew that it would be difficult to refuse to become a disciple today, so he readily kowtowed.
Xu Ziling, who was standing to the side, was somewhat reluctant, but seeing that his good brother had kowtowed and become his disciple, he had no choice but to follow suit.
Once the kowtow is made, the master-disciple etiquette is complete, but whether one is sincere or not is another matter entirely.
However, neither side cared about this matter. Xu Xiao didn't really want to completely control Twin Dragons. He just wanted to have a title and benefit from their protagonist aura.
"Good, very good. Since you have accepted me as your master, then once a master, always a father. As long as you listen to my words, I will not mistreat you."
Xu Xiao nodded, and his finger touched the heads of the two men in turn, and a text appeared in their minds.
It comes from the ultimate martial art of the Carefree Sect in the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World – Carefree Wind Riding.
Xu Xiao directly imprinted the introductory mental cultivation method into their hearts, which could be considered a form of apprenticeship ceremony.
The reason for giving this technique to Carefree Wind Riding was naturally to see if the two protagonists could find a way out of this situation.
The world of Twin Dragons of the Great Tang possesses Spiritual Energy, though not as abundant as that of Anaconda, it is still far superior to that of The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and the martial arts talents of these two are also extremely high.
In the original story, the two of them did not learn all seven diagrams of the Secret of Longevity. They each learned one of them, which corresponded to water and fire. By chance, their Internal Energy merged, achieving a balance between water and fire.
Later, they each created the Moon in the Well" and the One That Escaped," and with various fortuitous encounters, they achieved their later power.
Xu Xiao wanted to see if the two protagonists, by cultivating the Carefree Wind Riding, which was no less powerful than the Secret of Longevity, could also figure out how to proceed on the path beyond the Innate.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
Upon sensing the extra words appearing in their minds, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were astonished by Xu Xiao's move, and their address of "Master" carried a deeper sense of sincerity.
This guy's serious! He's actually teaching them martial arts.
"No need for so much formality. Now that I have taught you martial arts, remember to practice diligently every day and strive to master the skills as soon as possible, so as not to disgrace me."
Xu Xiao gave a word of advice.
He will be staying in the Great Tang Twin Dragons World for a longer time this time. He not only wants to collect martial arts techniques and comprehend methods to further advance his understanding of the Dao through martial arts, but also wants to find traces of the mysterious War God Temple.
Twin Dragons grow up sooner, they can also serve him in some way.
"Understood, Master. We will definitely cultivate diligently and will not disgrace you."
Kou Zhong patted his chest and assured him, but then his eyes darted around and he looked at Xu Xiao:
"I just don't know how to address my master, so I can easily announce his name when I travel the world."
"A title?" Xu Xiao thought for a moment, then decided to use the title from The Condor Heroes — Heavenly Venerable Savior.
In any case, if he wants to stay in this world for a long time, he will have to deal with and resolve both internal and external troubles. For most ordinary people, he can indeed be considered a savior.
They are all Huaxia, of the same blood, and he doesn't want these people at the bottom to be oppressed. He alone is enough to exploit the world.
"Just call me Master, the Heavenly Venerable Savior. I'm here to ensure this world is no longer plagued by misery."
Forehead...
Upon hearing this, the joy of the two Twin Dragons turned into melancholy.
Well, this looks like we've run into a cult!
In this era, the emperor above is incompetent and tyrannical, the people below suffer terribly, and in between there are various martial arts sects, rebel armies, warlords, and all sorts of cults.
Upon hearing the name Xu Xiao, the two immediately assumed he was a member of a cult.
'Have we really joined a cult? Will this cheap master make us do bad things in the future?'
The Twin Dragons exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss.
Xu Xiao witnessed all of this.
However, he didn't have the time or the need to explain to others.
He has his reasons for doing what he wants; the others either obey or die—they have no other choice.
Fortunately, Kou Zhong was not the kind of rigid and righteous person. After exchanging a glance with Xu Ziling, he decided to act according to the situation.
"Master, where are we going next? Would you like to get in the car first? We'll drive there."
Kou Zhong cleverly played the role of a disciple and stepped forward to inquire about Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao glanced at their dilapidated carriage and shook his head:
"No need, I'll carry you flying instead. Your shabby carriage is beneath my notice."
With a wave of his long sleeves, he carried the two of them directly into the sky.
" Young Master Ling! We're flying!" Kou Zhong shouted, both surprised and frightened.
"I know! It's a bit too high!" Although Xu Ziling was half-blind and couldn't see clearly, he could feel the weightlessness of his feet dangling in the air!
Neither of them had experienced martial arts before, and this feeling of weightlessness would instinctively frighten them.
"Don't worry, you won't fall." Xu Xiao's voice brought them a sense of security.
Which direction leads to Yangzhou? Please give me directions.
"Over there, it only takes a day by horse-drawn carriage to reach Yangzhou from the northwest."
Kou Zhong determined the direction and pointed out the way to Xu Xiao.
"Alright, you two get ready. I'll show you the joy of flying."
"No!!" "Help!"
"Vomit..."
At the entrance of a small alley in Yangzhou City, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were vomiting profusely, leaning against the bluestone bricks.
Xu Xiao, watching this scene from the side, felt a sense of disappointment and frustration:
"You two are just too weak. I only carried you for a short while and used my Spiritual Power to protect you from the wind, and you couldn't even handle it."
"It's even worse than a woman. The first time I took a woman flying, it wasn't this bad."
"Master, I... ugh..." Kou Zhong wanted to say something to save face, but his stomach was churning, and he was powerless to do so.
But they can't be blamed for that; Xu Xiao was simply flying too fast.
He didn't even consider how strong his Telekinesis was and how fast his flight speed was at the beginning.
Now, he flies at supersonic speeds every time. If he hadn't remembered to use his Telekinesis to create a barrier in front of the two Twin Dragons, they would have been burned to ashes by the aftershocks of his high-speed flight.
The two Twin Dragons were like ordinary people going directly into the sky in a supersonic fighter jet; it's a miracle they didn't go into shock.
Of course, the main characters are like cockroaches that can't be killed, so Xu Xiao wasn't worried that anything would really happen to them.
After a full ten minutes of rest, seeing that the two were still half-dead, Xu Xiao had no choice but to transfer a wisp of Spiritual Power into each of them.
The Spiritual Power entered their bodies, immediately relieving the churning in their internal organs, and they were able to recover.
"Useless. Hurry up and practice martial arts. Once you have Internal Energy, you won't be like this anymore," Xu Xiao said casually.
The Twin Dragons couldn't refute this; their master had already said that even a woman's first flight was like this, so they had indeed embarrassed themselves.
However, Xu Ziling still weakly spoke up from the side:
"Master, next time let's either ride in a carriage or walk."
"Suit yourselves. Now come with me; it's time to get down to business."
Xu Xiao took a step forward, and the Twin Dragons could only follow quickly. Not far away was a private residence.
