This scene left Xiaofan shocked, utterly shocked. Although he knew Ren Ling's skills were remarkable, she had been overwheld when receiving Sato earlier. Besides, she wasn't Big Guy's match in the first place; otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught by him before.
Xiaofan had experienced Big Guy's strength as well, akin to Ren Ying's level. Yet, Ren Ling managed to best him face-to-face with a single palm strike.
Bear in mind, it had only been four days since the encounter with Sato. What on earth was happening?
The porridge in Xiaofan's mouth halted mid-swallow as he stared blankly.
After climbing back up, Big Guy looked at Ren Ling with equal astonishnt, then glanced at his own hands, still numb from the shock.
"Was that a fluke?" Big Guy muttered in confusion and quickly charged at Ren Ling again.
Unexpectedly, the little girl's figure flickered, easily dodging Big Guy. Swiftly moving behind him, she lightly leaped onto his shoulder and stood steadily.
"Now you can't stop . No matter where I want to go, you all can't catch anymore." Ren Ling's expression remained calm, but her voice clearly carried a hint of excitent.
Xiaofan was so startled his jaw nearly dropped. Impossible. Did Big Guy go easy on her? No, his speed was just as before. The change was solely in Ren Ling.
"Want to test your skills?" Mrs. Ren suddenly approached Xiaofan and said.
"?"
"Give it a try. The restraints on your body were lifted last night; didn't you notice?" So that's what the earlier inquiry ant.
"Co on, Xiaofan, let's exchange a few moves." It was at this mont that Cyan Dragon also appeared in the courtyard.
"Senior Cyan Dragon, this..."
"Co now, I just want to see how many moves I can withstand under Mr. Ren's thirty-plus years of power." Cyan Dragon slowly smiled
and said.
Over thirty years? I haven't fully integrated it yet, why...
'Boom, boom, boom.'
Xiaofan's heart suddenly pounded heavily with unexpectedly vigorous pulses, sending a jolt through him.
What's this sensation? Why is there a massive current flowing through my ridians? It's terrifying, constantly surging through my acupoints, feeling inexhaustible.
"Here it cos." Cyan Dragon shouted as he suddenly charged at Xiaofan. Knowing Xiaofan's previous strength, he started by using eighty percent of his power.
'Whoosh.'
Cyan Dragon only saw a shadow flash past, and when he ca to, Xiaofan had already vanished from his sight.
"So... that's how it is."
Ten ters behind Cyan Dragon, Xiaofan looked at the keyring in his hand, sowhat bewildered and dazed.
Seeing that familiar keyring, Cyan Dragon quickly glanced down at his waistline, realizing the gap between him and Mr. Ren remained insurmountable. Over thirty years of such terrifying power.
In fact, ever since finding out the Sobbing Palm and Ghost Shadow Step were created by Grandpa Ren, Xiaofan had always wondered why he never used such moves against the Life-taking Five Ghosts. Turns out, this was the reason.
Xiaofan suddenly grasped the intents of Ren Zhongtian, one standing at the martial arts pinnacle, Divine Heart's thoughts. In the face of absolute speed, no techniques mattered. No matter how powerful the Sobbing Palm or surprising the Swallow's Counterattack, when up against speed, they all beca negligible.
Now, Xiaofan had another doubt: what on earth happened between him and Ren Ling last night?
Of course, the question wasn't about so romantic tryst but how both their powers suddenly skyrocketed.
Moreover, it soared to a realm Xiaofan never imagined. If he had possessed such strength before, during the match with Sato, Xiaofan would have had a massive chance to win. A hugely favorable chance.
"Old Mrs. Ren, may I have an explanation?" Xiaofan walked over and respectfully asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, your ridians have been enhanced by Ye Aotian; otherwise, you wouldn't have mastered the thirty-plus years of power so quickly. As for why the original seal was lifted, it's thanks to Ling'Er's Yin Qi stabilizing it, preventing your Inner Strength from going berserk. You ought to thank Ling'Er." Mrs. Ren didn't explain in detail, knowing that even if she did, Xiaofan and the others might not understand.
"Does it an I have to 'marry' Ren Ling as the price?" Xiaofan realized why Old Mrs. Ren was so adamant about their marriage.
"Both of you should return, join hands, and continue to adjust your Inner Strength to the optimal state."
"But I..."
"You promised; you can leave tomorrow."
A gentleman keeps his word, just as a horse rides swiftly, Xiaofan also had no choice. Two days ant two days, even though his current strength ant nobody could stop him. Yet, he upheld basic integrity. Moreover, Shen Zuimo had been gone for many days, and seeking out to chase or find him would be impossible.
Afterward, Xiaofan and Ren Ling obediently returned to the room to ditate, steadily consolidating their newly elevated Inner Strength into the afternoon.
"Having children can't be rushed, but Ling'Er must stay another night with you. Though your power is up, Ling'Er still has a hurdle to overco."
"No, that's not necessary."
After dinner, Xiaofan got another piece of bad news.
"Don't think I can't handle you now that you have over thirty years of power. Back then, even Ren Zhongtian accidentally fell into my hands, and besides, Ling'Er is already yours. What do you have to hold back?"
Mrs. Ren's words made Xiaofan glance at Ren Ling, who was also staring back at him. She pouted slightly and turned away with a 'hmph' sound.
Originally, Ren Ling was actively making skin contact with Xiaofan, but now she wholly rejected that prospect. Obviously, the pain from the previous night still bothered her.
However, by nine that night, the little girl still obediently ca to Xiaofan's room, accompanied by Mrs. Ren, who lit Dragon Scale Fragrance in front of Xiaofan.
"Don't light it." Xiaofan said, blushing slightly.
"Hm? Did you change your mind?" Mrs. Ren laughed lightly.
"It's not sothing easily comprehensible. Besides, I can't recall anything about last night's events. If we're going to do it anyway, I'd rather be clear-headed, so I don't hurt Ren Ling again." This ti, with resignation, the favor owed to Ren Zhongtian, Xiaofan could only repay in this way, if it truly was the outco they desired.
