Ti flowed on, casting its golden hues upon the villa where Long Tian and Li Yue'er engaged in a dance of combat in the backyard after school.
Every strike from Li Yue'er was a testant to her precision, the swish of her punches and kicks slicing through the air with calculated grace.
Long Tian, a specter of fluidity, effortlessly sidestepped and parried each of her attacks, his movents reminiscent of a seasoned dancer gliding through a ballroom.
But in this round, a burst of vibrant energy coalesced in Li Yue'er's palm, a kaleidoscope of colors swirling within her grasp. With unwavering determination, she thrust it into Long Tian's torso.
Thump!
Long Tian staggered back a few steps from the impact of the blow.
"Is that your martial spirit?" he inquired.
Li Yue'er's lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes gleaming with confidence. "What do you think?" she retorted, her spirit undaunted.
"Not bad at all. Now, it's my turn," Long Tian grinned.
In the blink of an eye, he materialized right in front of her, a sudden gust of wind accompanying his swift movent.
Li Yue'er found herself montarily caught off guard, her focus wavering as Long Tian's onslaught began.
She managed to withstand the initial onslaught, but her arms quivered under the force of his blows, a testant to his raw power.
Yet, Long Tian showed no rcy; his attacks ca in a relentless barrage, each strike ticulously calculated.
Li Yue'er, nimble as a gazelle, dodged and parried, the rush of wind accompanying each movent adding to the intensity of their fight.
But in this mont...
Thump!
One punch from Long Tian caught her off guard. Long Tian noticed this opening and swiftly followed up with a palm strike.
Thump!
Li Yue'er was sent flying, crashing into a stack of bricks, dust scattering in the air. She lay on the ground, catching her breath after Long Tian's relentless assault.
The sound of footsteps echoed, and Long Tian grinned.
"You didn't hold back at all," Li Yue'er complained.
Long Tian smirked. "You wanted a real fight, and that's exactly what you got," he replied, his hand extended in a gesture of camaraderie.
With Long Tian's assistance, Li Yue'er rose to her feet.
"At the very least, refrain from using your full strength. You're aware of my limitations, aren't you?" she chided, her tone tinged with exasperation.
"That's the point. Since you're weaker than , it ans you need experience in challenging battles. If I deliberately hold back, you'll find it hard to improve. You see, Li Yue'er, I want you to beco stronger, not just through ordinary training, but the real challange," Long Tian explained, his fingers gently ruffling her silver hair.
A blush tinged Li Yue'er's cheeks; Long Tian's touch was a rare comfort. This sensation was exceptionally rare, given that only a handful of individuals had ever shown genuine concern for her well-being. The person she initially thought would ruin her life was now igniting a newfound spirit within her.
Her gaze softened, locking onto Long Tian. Then, impulsively, she enveloped him in a tight embrace.
Long Tian was montarily taken aback, his surprise giving way to a warm smile. "Why this sudden embrace?" he inquired, his voice gentle.
"I struggle to express it, Long Tian. When you kidnapped , I believed my life was dood. Yet, unexpectedly, you've given a newfound purpose. Thank you," Li Yue'er said sincerely.
Long Tian's smile widened as he reciprocated the hug, his hand gently stroking her back. "You have spirit, Li Yue'er. I've encountered countless individuals, yet there's sothing uniquely about you. I believe in your potential," he affird.
Li Yue'er smiled in return, absorbing the reassurance from Long Tian's embrace. His broad shoulders and the subtle fragrance that clung to him enveloped her in a comforting cocoon.
However, the embrace didn't last long, as she released her grip. "Shall we continue?" she asked, her determination burning bright in her eyes.
"I'm afraid I can't. There's a matter I must attend to now," Long Tian replied.
Li Yue'er was sowhat disappointed, she replied, "I understand. I'll continue practicing here."
Long Tian nodded, then he took out a thin book from his storage ring and handed it to Li Yue'er. "It's the Paw Steps technique. This will enable you to move swiftly and silently, minimizing sound. Learn it while I'm away," he advised.
Li Yue'er gazed at the book, then back at Long Tian, her smile warm and grateful. "Thank you, Long Tian. I'll master it by the ti you return," she vowed.
"Good. Well, I'll be off then," Long Tian said, his tone affectionate.
Li Yue'er nodded, watching as Long Tian made his way inside the villa. Today, his plans included a visit to the Wudang Sect, ensuring his sche unfolded seamlessly.

After his refreshing shower, Long Tian slipped into casual attire and made his way to the garage. With a click, the automatic doors glided open, unveiling a sleek white luxury car, a BMW Z1 recently acquired from Tianjia Pavilion.
"That looks impressive," Ling Han complinted, his eyes scanning the car appreciatively.
"Let's hop in, Uncle Ling. Today, I'm taking the wheel," Long Tian said, his grin reflecting his excitent.
Ling Han nodded and settled into the passenger seat beside Long Tian.
As Long Tian started the engine, a powerful purr filled the air.
Vrooom!
Long Tian's satisfaction was palpable; the smooth hum of the engine, the responsive handling, every detail exuded comfort and quality. He pressed down on the gas pedal, and the car surged forward, heading toward the Wudang Sect.
-------------
After three hours of driving, Long Tian and Ling Han finally arrived at the gates of the Wudang Sect. The imposing entrance stood before them, a symbol of ancient martial prowess and wisdom.
Long Tian lowered the car's roof, revealing the convertible with its top down. He then displayed a dal to the guards.
Upon seeing it, they were taken aback; it was an honorary guest dal that granted unrestricted access to and from the Wudang Sect.
"Please proceed," one of the guards said.
Long Tian nodded and drove his car into the sect's premises.
To his surprise, the first courtyard of the sect was bustling with activity, filled with nurous cars and people who clearly didn't belong to the Wudang Sect.
"It seems like sothing is happening, young master. The atmosphere feels tense, signs of impending battle," Ling Han said, narrowing
Instead of being alard, Long Tian grinned. "It looks like the assault is about to comnce; let's et Shi Huang," he said.
With that, he exited the car, accompanied by Ling Han, and made his way toward the sect's leader.
