Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"readily."

After talking for so long, this was exactly what Zhong Tao had been waiting for. He pretended to ponder for a moment before casually saying, "Actually, the steps I want to teach..."

It's a family heirloom, something I wouldn't normally pass on to just anyone. But I feel a connection with you, so how about this: you give me some money as tuition, okay?

After all that, it turned out he was after my little bit of bonus. Wang Mu was completely convinced. He smiled knowingly and said, "Money is no problem. But, brother, at least show me your peerless footwork. If it's worth it, I'll pay you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tao was overjoyed. He was short of money lately, so making some money was a good idea. He wasn't worried that his unparalleled footwork would be learned by a good-for-nothing.

You should know that since he started practicing his family's footwork, he has only mastered less than two levels of it, and he only finds the footwork incredibly wonderful.

As for Wang Mu, a good-for-nothing, even if you showed him the demonstration once, or even if you practiced it ten times and made a hundred variations, I believe Wang Mu would still be completely clueless.

"Alright, watch carefully." Zhong Tao moved his feet slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had moved to another position.

"What a wonderful gait."

Wang Mu's pupils contracted sharply. With his eyesight, he could only discern a small portion of the Peerless Steps, which was simply unbelievable.

However, Zhong Tao stopped after taking only two or three steps, and said smugly, "How was it? Pretty fun, huh?"

“I’ve only taken a few steps, it’s not very satisfying. Senior Brother Zhong Tao, if you can finish this run, I’m willing to pay you all five thousand gold coins,” Wang Mu said earnestly.

Zhong Tao was taken aback at first, then his expression became somewhat strange. He had only intended to casually show off a few moves to Wang Mu, thinking it would be enough to deal with this good-for-nothing.

As it turned out, the good-for-nothing saw through his moves and even wanted to see a few more. He said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually... I only know those three moves."

"You only know three moves?"

Wang Mu was speechless for a moment. He had planned to learn a few moves from Zhong Tao, but now it seemed that was impossible. He asked with a slight thought, "Zhong Tao, where did you learn these footwork?"

“This…” Zhong Tao seemed a little hesitant, but Wang Mu was a smart man and quickly stuffed a few gold coins into the boy’s hand.

Zhong Tao's eyes lit up, and he said mysteriously, "For the sake of our good brotherhood, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I learned this wonderful footwork from Miss Yu Ruyan."

"Stealing lessons?"

Wang Mu looked somewhat strange, while Zhong Tao said energetically, "That's right, I've heard that Miss Yu Ruyan and Miss Li Ling'er are known as the two most beautiful women in our Zhan Clan."

So he thought of secretly checking on Miss Yu Ruyan at the Xuantian Sect, and just then he saw Miss Yu Ruyan practicing the Mysterious Steps.

At this point, Zhong Tao paused slightly before continuing, "However, the footwork is truly amazing. I've peeked at it so many times, and I've only managed to understand the first three moves."

"Brother, why don't you take me there to have a look too?"

Wang Mu casually slipped a few more gold coins to Zhong Tao. He knew very well that it wouldn't be an easy thing to sneak a peek at Yu Ruyan's cultivation at the Xuan Tian Sect.

"Hehe, brother, you're a smart man. In that case, let's go to the Xuantian Sect together tonight!" Zhong Tao's face lit up with a smile when he saw the gold coins.

Wang Mu wasn't interested in any celebratory banquet. After eating a simple meal, he left the restaurant to return to the Linghai Sect.

"Wang Mu, we've finally waited for you." Just as Wang Mu arrived at the sect's entrance, he heard a clear and melodious voice. It was none other than the beautiful Miss Wang Yu.

"Wang Yu, is there something you need?" Wang Mu was taken aback. He and Xiao Chuan had fought for the Linghai Sect and won the battle, which was expected by Wang Yu and the others.

Wang Yu blinked and said with a strange expression, "Brother Wang Mu, I've come here to tell you two things, one is good news, and the other is bad news."

What is a happy event?

Wang Mu never expected Wang Yu to put on airs.

"Miss Li Ling'er has a high opinion of you. She asked me to tell you that she hopes you will take good care of yourself in the upcoming competitions." Wang Yu pouted, seemingly a little jealous.

"What is this worry?" Wang Mu couldn't help but think of Li Ling'er's stunning figure, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Our elder said that if we can reach the top six in this War Clan competition, he will hold a wedding for Li Ling'er and Wu Sen." Wang Yu's expression was somewhat gloomy.

Upon hearing this, Wang Mu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected things to happen so quickly. That despicable old man had actually used his own daughter as a prize; that was going too far.

But when Wang Mu thought of Li Ling'er's pleading eyes, he felt somewhat powerless. After all, this was Li Ling'er's family matter. If Li Ling'er listened to her father, what use would it be if he objected?

In fact, Wang Mu was well aware that he hadn't reached the point of love for Li Ling'er; at most, he liked her. Because Li Ling'er had been kind to him, Wang Mu considered her a friend, and naturally, he hoped she would be doing well.

"It would be incredibly difficult for the Wang family to enter the top six!" Wang Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yu shook his head and said seriously, "Brother Wang Mu, you guessed wrong. Wu Sen invited several experts from his family who met the competition requirements."

Several of them had reached the level of tenth-grade martial artists, and with Wu Sen's strength as an eighth-grade martial artist, their chances of entering the top six were very high.

"A tenth-rank martial artist!"

Wang Mu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected this situation. It seemed that Wu Sen had gone to great lengths to marry the beautiful Li Ling'er.

"Yes, Brother Wang Mu, do you have any good ideas? Senior Sister Li Ling'er is so depressed all the time, she's lost so much weight." Wang Yu stared at Wang Mu with a complicated expression.

You should know that Wang Yu had witnessed Wang Mu's terrifying skills firsthand. Even the powerful Meng was completely outmaneuvered by Wang Mu, which shows how formidable Wang Mu was.

Otherwise, how could Wang Yu believe that Wang Mu could help Li Ling'er?

Let everything take its natural course!

A faint smile appeared on Wang Mu's face.

"Hmph, you can still laugh at a time like this? You're making me so angry! I don't care anymore!" Wang Yu pouted her cherry lips, stomped her little foot angrily, and turned to leave.
