The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Just as the group was talking, Huang Rong and the Beggars' Sect members beside her also came over.

"Fu'er, what brings you all to this suburban manor today?"

Huang Rong approached the group with a smile and asked Guo Fu.

"Mother, I just wanted to come and see you."

Guo Fu ran to Huang Rong's side, grabbed Huang Rong's hand, and said coquettishly.

"You're always so impulsive."

Helpless, Huang Rong tapped Guo Fu's forehead with her finger.

"May I ask how this young hero is addressed?"

Huang Rong looked at Lu Yao and asked with a smile.

Since Huang Rong was able to travel with Guo Fu and the Wu brothers, she must not be a villain.

Huang Rong was always meticulous and quick-witted, and could easily judge things.

"Aunt Guo, this young hero is Brother Yang's master, and also a distinguished guest invited by Uncle Guo to stay temporarily at the Guo residence."

Wu Dunru quickly explained to Huang Rong.

"Oh? Young hero, you are already a teacher at such a young age, your martial arts skills must be extraordinary."

Huang Rong glanced at Yang Guo and Lu Yao a few times, then said with a smile.

"Madam Guo is too kind."

Lu Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Huang Rong, but didn't respond to her words.

Lu Yao had already understood the meaning behind Huang Rong's words; she was expressing some doubt about his martial arts skills.

Of course, this is indeed the case in the world of Condor Heroes. Age can indeed reflect the depth of a martial artist's skill to a certain extent, after all, martial arts geniuses are not common.

"Hehehe, the man next to me is Elder Lu Youjiao of the Beggars' Sect."

Huang Rong smiled slightly at Lu Yao, not minding at all, and introduced the person next to her to Lu Yao.

"Lu Youjiao of the Beggars' Sect greets Young Hero Lu."

Lu Youjiao cupped his hands towards Lu Yao and said in a deep voice.

Lu Youjiao is an elder of the Dirty Clothes Faction of the Beggars' Sect and is the next leader of the Beggars' Sect chosen by Huang Rong.

Since becoming pregnant, Huang Rong has had the idea of ​​stepping down as the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

That's why the scene of teaching Lu Youjiao the Dog-Beating Stick Technique at the suburban manor was so memorable.

The Dog-Beating Stick Technique is considered a top-tier martial art in the world of Condor Heroes, but Lu Yao didn't think much of it and therefore didn't learn it.

However, it is a rare and unique skill within the Beggars' Sect, and it is a martial art that the leader of the Beggars' Sect must know.

Unfortunately, Lu Youjiao was slow-witted and quite old, so he learned very slowly.

"Fu'er, you two take Young Hero Lu on a trip. Elder Lu and I have important matters to discuss."

Huang Rong gave some instructions to Guo Fu and the others, and then took Lu Youjiao away to a distance.

Guo Fu and the others then took Lu Yao to explore the surrounding area, returning to the Guo residence in the evening.

The cold moon hangs high, and the night breeze is slightly cool.

In the courtyard of the Guo residence, Lu Yao and Yang Guo were there again.

"Guo'er, today I will begin to teach you the complete Toad Kung Fu, so that you will not tarnish the prestige of your godfather's Five Greats in the future."

Lu Yao looked at Yang Guo with a serious expression and said softly.

"Yes! I will keep Master's words in mind."

Yang Guo nodded firmly.

"The essence of Toad Kung Fu lies in accumulating strength and waiting to unleash it, using stillness to control movement, sinking the Qi to the Dantian, and concentrating the power of the whole body into one point."

Lu Yao's body was filled with rising true energy, the pale green energy visible to the naked eye.

Now that Lu Yao's Toad Stance has reached its peak, he no longer needs to crawl on all fours like Yang Guo; he can perform it with a thought.

Ouyang Feng's Toad Stance doesn't actually require him to assume a toad posture to perform it; it's just that he's been used to it for many years, and it helps with the circulation of his internal energy, so he maintains it.

As Lu Yao unleashed his Toad Skill, a phantom image of a toad formed from condensed true energy appeared in the air, and the croaking and roaring of toads rang in Yang Guo's ears.

Lu Yao instantly raised his hand and grabbed Yang Guo's arm, sending a stream of Toad Style internal energy into Yang Guo's body.

"Concentrate your mind and gather your energy! Focus your attention on the flow of true energy!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout, signaling Yang Guo to focus.

Yang Guo quickly closed his eyes, sensing the true energy within his body being guided by Lu Yao.

This method of teaching martial arts is very advanced; only those who have mastered the control of their inner energy and possess profound skill can do so.

Otherwise, the professor's partner would be in big trouble; the chaotic internal energy would make life worse than death.

After circulating his true energy for one full cycle, Lu Yao withdrew it and quietly waited for Yang Guo to gain enlightenment.

A moment later, Yang Guo opened his eyes, a faint green aura flashing within them.

"Thank you Master!"

Yang Guo understood that Lu Yao was teaching him very seriously, so he was very grateful.

"Your godfather probably didn't teach you the complete Toad Stance mantra. I'll give you the manual later; you must practice diligently."

Lu Yao nodded, quite satisfied with Yang Guo's talent.

After all, Yang Guo was one of the Five Greats of the new generation in the original novel, so his martial arts talent must have been exceptional.

January passed in the blink of an eye, and with the Heroes' Gathering approaching, the number of martial arts practitioners near Lu Family Village in Dasheng Pass increased.

When there are many martial arts practitioners, it is inevitable that they will fight when they get together, and many of them are enemies.

However, thanks to Guo Jing's intervention, they temporarily put aside their personal grudges and decided to deal with them after the Heroes' Gathering.

It can be said that Guo Jing used his chivalrous reputation to suppress a group of unruly people in the martial arts world.

Of course, there are also those who don't give Guo Jing face, and naturally they obediently submit to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

The Lu Family Manor at Dasheng Pass was bustling with activity, as countless martial arts practitioners gathered there.

The Beggars' Sect disciples were maintaining order, while Guo Jing and Huang Rong were busy entertaining the martial arts practitioners who had come from afar.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao, who was standing to the side of the conference, received a message from Guo Jing.

Little Dragon Girl's whereabouts have been discovered!

The message came from the town garrison where Lu Family Village is located. They said that Little Dragon Girl had entered the town today and immediately relayed the news.

Lu Yao quickly used his lightness skill to leave, heading towards the location of Xiaolongnu as indicated in the intelligence report.

On a bustling street in the town, a snow-white figure walked slowly down the street.

"Oh! What a beautiful young lady this is!"

Several martial arts practitioners carrying large swords stared lewdly at Xiaolongnu's appearance and figure, uttering vulgar words.

Little Dragon Girl ignored these people and continued walking forward quietly.

She was looking for Lu Yao at the conference, so she ignored all the other people.

Because of her appearance, Xiaolongnu had experienced many such scenes and was already used to them.

"Hey! Don't be so cold, young lady. I'm a disciple of the Golden Saber Sect. You'll live a life of luxury if you follow me."

With his robes open and his hair tied back, the lewd man looked at Xiaolongnu with a lewd gaze and reached out to pull her towards him.

His companions, dressed similarly behind him, also wore mocking expressions.

Xiaolongnu felt a surge of anger, and her eyes turned icy cold.

She slightly drew her Jade Maiden Sword, intending to deal with these people.

Just then, a sword shadow flashed with a cold light, and the lewd man's arm, which was reaching for Xiaolongnu, flew into the sky, spraying blood.

"You'd better not keep your filthy hands!"

A voice, as cold as a winter wind, reached the ears of the Golden Saber Sect members.
