Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

At the Great King's Palace, Qilin and Qin Ming found Mo Lang wandering around.

"Disciple, I have a task for you!"

Ok?

Not long after.

dang dang...

Under the cover of night, Qin Ming and Qilin were eating stir-fried beef noodles. They simply didn't have the courage to eat the food that Princess Luo Li had prepared.

"Not bad! 120 points!" Qilin said, wolfing down his food.

Mo Lang also exuded confidence, "Ha! This stir-fried beef noodles is a dish that the people of Niu Zhanguo are most skilled at!"

"Yeah, not bad."

After showing off several large bowls, Qilin exclaimed, "I'm starving! Princess Luo Li's dinner was truly horrible..."

After finishing his meal, the Qilin put down his chopsticks and looked at Mo Lang, saying, "Alright, as a reward, I will teach you how to win the martial arts tournament!"

"Oh!?"

Mo Lang was excited because he could learn new martial arts, so he followed Qilin.

Qin Ming wiped his mouth and turned to leave.

He also needs to take this time to study the "Riki-Oh Fist," a martial art that can complement the "Indestructible Vajra Body," and in the later stages, it is basically a combination of internal and external cultivation.

It might increase the latter's chances of breaking through by a few percent.

He has been stuck at the eighth level of the Vajra Indestructible Realm for too long, and the conditions are almost all met. It's time to find an opportunity to break through.

……

Meanwhile, Bai Qi, who had also not eaten dinner, took Xin Yu to find food outside the palace.

They unexpectedly encountered Li Yao, who had arrived in Dali Kingdom ahead of time to gather intelligence.

“You can borrow my lab. Let me see if you have any value in assisting the research in Sterling. This GPS can find my lab.”

"Aren't you afraid I'll give this GPS to someone else?"

“You won’t,” Li Yao said, looking at Bai Qi and whispering in his ear, “because this is your only chance…”

Bai Qi's pupils contracted, and he froze on the spot.

Li Yao turned and left.

She hit the nail on the head regarding what Bai Qi cared about most right now. With his genius mind, Bai Qi naturally knew what he needed most.

Qin Ming had opened up a part of the path of martial arts for him, but not the whole one.

Moreover, Qin Ming has already made it very clear that there are no shortcuts in martial arts!

Through his own research, he had witnessed the technology of the Kingdom of Ster, and the mechanical arm and automatic avoidance device on the fourth prince of Ster greatly impressed him.

He can understand these things, and is even confident that he can study them thoroughly in a very short time!

But he lacked the resources and support of the Kingdom of Ster, so even with his genius mind, he had no use for it!

This was another path laid out before him, and a real shortcut!

Bai Qi was tempted.

"What did she tell you?"

"Uh……"

Coming to his senses, Bai Qi looked at Xin Yu, not telling her everything, "Don't worry, it's nothing... Pfft!"

Enraged, Xinyu headbutted him in the back, nearly knocking Bai Qi unconscious.

Xinyu quickly scribbled on the wooden board, "Aren't we companions? Why are you always hiding things from me?"

Do you all think I'm just worrying unnecessarily and can't help at all?

"What are you thinking? That's why I didn't want to say..."

Bai Qi wanted to explain, but he saw that Xin Yu looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

"I'm not a burden!"

In a fit of anger, Xinyu threw a wooden board at Bai Qi and ran away.

"Heartfelt words!" Bai Qi exclaimed in shock. "Damn it... how could it have turned out like this?"

However, he wasn't worried about Xinyu being in any danger. The security in Dali Kingdom was quite good, and Xinyu was running directly back towards the palace.

Not far away, several ordinary people from Daliguo were discussing something in front of a vendor's stall.

"Scumbag!"

"He's a jerk..."

"Yeah, I saw it all. He was hugging and kissing his mistress. What a refined scoundrel!"

Bai Qi, "..."

What just happened was indeed easy to misunderstand. Li Yao's actions were too ambiguous, and Xin Yu's reaction at this moment also left room for speculation.

On the other side, Xinyu, who was running back to the palace, stopped in a garden.

Under the cover of night, a figure radiating a faint golden light stood still, its golden glow shining brightly!

Suddenly, he raised his hand and threw a punch. The terrifying fist energy burst out of his body and smashed directly into the pool water several feet away, causing the water surface to explode with a bang!

Stopping his breathing exercise, Qin Ming turned to look at Xin Yu, who was secretly observing from the corner.

He sighed. "Xinyu, is something the matter?"

Xinyu was startled, then came out somewhat flustered, scribbling and asking, "Master, are you practicing your martial arts?"

"Ah."

"Can you teach me?"

Xinyu quickly wrote down four words, looking at him seriously, clearly not just saying it casually.

Qin Ming shook his head. Seeing Xin Yu's disappointment, he could only explain, "You've already learned medicine and have superpowers. There's no need to learn martial arts. A person's energy is limited. If you try to learn everything, you'll end up being a jack of all trades and master of none, and you'll achieve nothing."

After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Xinyu wrote again, "But Master, you seem to be very skilled in both medicine and martial arts!"

For a moment, Qin Ming hesitated, unsure how to explain.

Should I tell her that I opened it myself?

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

goooo...

Just then, Xinyu's stomach growled, her face flushed, and she lowered her head to cover her stomach.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat. You're still young, there are some things you don't need to worry about."

"Master, you seem to know a lot of things?"

"Actually, there are many things I don't know either, but none of that matters. When you calm down, you won't have so many worries."

"But I'm very worried about Mo Lang and Bai Qi..."

"..."

Shaking his head, Qin Ming sighed inwardly.

Mo Lang and Bai Qi are natural enemies.

Both of them had their own secrets, cared about each other, but neither would bring themselves to say it.

Without Xinyu's involvement, they might very well have ended up becoming enemies...

With Bai Qi's intelligence, he will one day realize that the Kingdom of Ster is his true home and what he should do.

But Mo Lang doesn't consider these things. He only sees what's happening in front of him and makes judgments based on his own subjective opinions, which makes him easily misled.

Once Bai Qi leaves, Mo Lang won't even be able to suppress the power of the Blood Demon, which is bound to cause problems.

Heartfelt words are like a bridge connecting two people.

……

The next day, Xinyu was still worried about Baiqi, so she secretly followed him.

Mo Lang also began to practice the "Qilin Step" under the guidance of Qilin. The Qilin Step is Qilin's unique movement technique, which combines speed and agility.

It can also be considered one of his signature skills.

Qilin's speed is almost unmatched in the entire assassin organization, and this movement technique is indispensable to its success.

Qin Ming also knows several superior movement techniques, but none of them can compare with the Qilin Step, so in terms of movement techniques, he is actually slightly inferior to the Qilin Step.

It's not that it's slow.

He has mastered too many martial arts techniques, but those faster than the Qilin are not as agile as him, and those more agile are not as fast as him...

Boom!

"Ah! Langlang, are you alright!?"

They found a stone table and had Mo Lang and Luo Li have a wrist-wrestling match. As expected, Mo Lang was completely defeated.

The stone table was even crushed by Luo Li's terrifying strength!

Where does this little guy get so much strength?!

Mo Lang was stunned, but his eyes also cleared up considerably.

Qilin explained in a timely manner, "The people of Dali Kingdom are born with superhuman strength. If you participate in the martial arts tournament, you will be facing the top ten in Dali Kingdom. If it were just a matter of strength, even I would have to avoid them."

"Tsk!" Mo Lang struggled to his feet. "Then why did you say you'd teach me how to win!?"

"Don't rush, I actually discovered the fatal flaw of the Dali Kingdom a long time ago! That is..." Raising a finger, the Qilin's figure instantly flashed behind Mo Lang, "...that is, a lack of skill!"

"In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses!"

Swish swish!

The Qilin displayed its speed and agility, flashing past like afterimages. Suddenly, Mo Lang felt a weight on his neck, and his face darkened. The Qilin had silently landed on top of him...

"I'll teach you my unique movement technique, the Qilin Step!"

Boom!

"Ok?"
