Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 44 Obeying Sentences but Not Orders

"Should we give it a try?" Cha Nan hesitated for a moment, but quickly dismissed her concerns.

If it were someone else, Cha Nan would definitely choose to be relatively conservative and not take any risks.

However, Guo Jing is an exception. His character is widely recognized, so even if there are risks, they are within a controllable range.

Thinking of this, Cha Nan threw the Parul ball in his hand.

The ball hit its mark precisely; a flash of yellow light, and Guo Jing vanished from his spot.

Huang Rong tensed up, but a moment later, Guo Jing emerged from the Palu Ball on his own, laughing heartily, "Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"Young Master Cha, do you have any more of this treasure? If you have more, they could be a surprise weapon!"

Cha Nan tried to control Guo Jing's actions, but found that he couldn't manipulate them at all. It was as if they had established a relatively equal alliance contract through a low-level Paluk ball.

Cha Nan was unable to restrain Guo Jing with the Parul Ball, and Guo Jing was also unable to voluntarily entertain the idea of ​​harming Cha Nan.

Of course, it's also possible that Guo Jing never intended to harm Cha Nan, which is why Paluqiu responded with this idea.

"How could there be so many of such strange things!" The tension that flashed across Huang Rong's face immediately disappeared, and she stepped forward with a smile and said.

Guo Jing slapped his forehead: "Indeed... I was overthinking it!"

"However, it's also a good thing! As long as one person sneaks into the Mongol army camp and carries several experts with him through this strange object, he can assassinate more of the Mongol generals and break down their offensive!"

Guo Jing grew up on the Mongolian grasslands and originally had connections with many high-ranking Mongolians, but these connections were worn away during years of hostility with Mongolia.

Now he has only one thought: to expel the Tartars and protect the land.

"Brother Jing, have you forgotten again? Those Mongol Tartars have already infiltrated their general's tents into the ordinary camps, precisely to prevent us from sending experts to assassinate them. The Mongol army has 100,000 troops, and their tents stretch for dozens of miles. Even if we sneak in, it will be difficult to find the location of the general's banner." Huang Rong clearly didn't want Guo Jing to take any risks, so she deliberately reminded him.

Sure enough, Huang Rong said, "Now that Brother Cha has a way to get supplies, as long as we have enough supplies, we can keep up with these Mongol Tartars. They have more people and more horses, so they consume more supplies every day. Let's see who can't hold out for long."

Guo Jing was indeed persuaded by Huang Rong and looked at Cha Nan, asking, "When shall we go and get some grain?"

Guo Jing's tone sounded somewhat utilitarian, but when he had the lives of tens of thousands of people on his shoulders, he couldn't help but speak of self-interest.

"If it doesn't work today, we'll set off tomorrow!"

"By the way... Uncle Guo! You really don't feel anything special right now?" Cha Nan tried to use the Paru Ball to put Guo Jing away again, but it didn't work.

Guo Jing said, "I have a feeling that the ball in your hand is very attractive to me, but... I can resist it!"

Cha Nan has confirmed that even if a low-level Paluka subdues a powerful figure beyond its limits, it will not be bound by them.

This is something that must be firmly remembered: not everyone is Guo Jing.

This lack of control, if not properly managed, poses a potential risk to Cha Nan.

Of course, it's not all bad.

This at least provides Cha Nan with another direction: some powerful beings with sufficient intelligence. Even if Cha Nan cannot enslave them with low-level Palu Spheres, he can still negotiate terms and form a more equal and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship.

Absolute control isn't always necessary; sometimes, being able to cooperate is already a victory!

Games and reality are not the same thing. In games, creatures like Vortex Dragon, Winter Summoner, Anubis, Frostfang King, and Heterogeneous Griffin are all just strings of data that will follow the game's mechanics. In reality, they are no different from Cotton Yoyo and Pipi Chicken.

However, in reality, these powerful mythical beasts are very likely to be considered gods in the mythical beast world. Even if Chanan unlocks the Ultimate Palo Alto and the Super Palo Alto in the future, the probability of capturing such beings will not be high.

Therefore, adjusting one's mindset in advance and planning for a win-win situation is the key.

Of course, thinking about those things is too far ahead. Right now, if you could give Cha Nan a dragon with a crest, he would be grinning from ear to ear.

Although the Flower Crown Dragon is one of the weaker dragon-type mythical beasts, it is still a dragon. Regardless of its actual combat power or role, simply bringing a dragon into the martial arts world, under special circumstances, creates enough impact and influence to make a big deal out of it.

Guo Jing was very busy, so after exchanging a few more words with Cha Nan, he hurriedly left to attend to military affairs.

Cha Nan was not idle either; she followed Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Wu Dunru to learn more about the basics of martial arts.

This teaching setup isn't exactly a bad one.

After all, Guo Fu is knowledgeable and can provide additional support, Guo Xiang is quick-witted and can quickly apply what she has learned to other situations, while Wu Dunru has a solid foundation in his studies. Although he is not particularly talented, he will never make mistakes when teaching basic things.

The three of them taught Cha Nan together, quickly making up for Cha Nan's lack of basic knowledge of martial arts.

Meanwhile, with Guo Xiang demonstrating, Guo Fu explaining, and Wu Dunru supplementing, the Azure Wave Palm Technique, which is paired with the Azure Wave Heart Sutra, was passed on to Cha Nan. He was instructed to start by learning this introductory palm technique from Peach Blossom Island, and then learn the Seekingless Palm after he had mastered it.

Learning martial arts doesn't necessarily mean you'll be good just because you start by learning powerful or unique skills. Learning lower-level, more basic techniques is a waste of time.

This is a gradual process. Without the ten years of refinement by the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and the three years of instruction by Ma Yu, even if Guo Jing had the opportunity to learn the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he would never have been able to reach the heights he later achieved.

Shaolin Temple has seventy-two unique skills, but it doesn't teach its disciples those advanced skills from the beginning. Instead, they all start with basic martial arts like Arhat Fist and Shaolin Staff, honing their skills, developing their limbs, and gradually deepening their understanding after they've developed a feel for the techniques.

Half a day passed quickly.

The next day arrived quickly, and Guo Jing came to find Cha Nan early in the morning as promised. He saw that Cha Nan looked exhausted, probably because he hadn't rested all night.

He probably thought that going with Cha Nan to get the grain would take up a lot of time, so he finished his work ahead of time.

Without a word, Cha Nan informed Guo Jing and put him into the Palu Sphere. Then, consuming the Palu Ore fragments, he disappeared from the living room at the same time.

A moment later, they returned to the world of fantasy beasts, the location still being the cliff with the skill fruit tree that Cha Nan and Fang Dongbai had left.

Guo Jing automatically jumped out of the Paru Ball.

"Where is this...? Have we crossed the boundary gate?"

"No wonder! I was wondering how you managed to get the supplies, little brother. It turns out you were buying them from another world through the interdimensional gate."

“We originally had this idea, but… it’s difficult to carry large quantities of grain across the boundary gate, and transporting it little by little is simply a drop in the ocean,” Guo Jing said, looking around.

Cha Nan then said, "Uncle Guo! Time is of the essence, let's talk as we walk."

As he spoke, Cha Nan summoned the wolf hunter.

Although it's a bit strange for two men to ride together on one horse, it's actually fine as long as you don't overthink it.
