Chapter 164: It Might Hurt a Little

“Brother? You’re smiling so happily. Did something good happen?”

Chu Xiaoxi’s voice suddenly sounded. She had ended her basic practice today and returned to the house.

Chu Nan stopped laughing, but he could not hide the smile on his face at all. He chuckled proudly at Chu Xiaoxi.

“Xiaoxi, I’ve already become an Internal Breath expert. Am I powerful?”

“Really?” Chu Xiaoxi immediately rushed over with a pleasantly surprised expression and held Chu Nan’s arm, “That’s great! Brother, you can teach me the Nine Revolutions Technique, right?”

Chu Nan was stunned before he reacted.

When he agreed to teach Chu Xiaoxi martial arts, she originally wanted to start cultivating the Nine Revolutions Technique like Chu Nan.

Chu Nan did not agree at that time. Instead, he said that his current strength was insufficient and could not impart Chu Xiaoxi’s Internal Breath cultivation method. He only had the qualifications to do so after he broke through to the Internal Breath Realm.

One reason was that Chu Nan did not have confidence in Chu Xiaoxi’s ability to persist in the boring and arduous martial arts practice. Secondly, it was the truth.

Chu Nan was only an Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist and his understanding of Internal Breath was far from enough. How could he be qualified to teach Chu Xiaoxi her Internal Breath cultivation method?

Moreover, it was easy to learn the Nine Revolutions Technique in the beginning, but it was extremely difficult to truly master it. If Chu Xiaoxi cultivated according to Chu Nan’s original situation, it would be very difficult to improve, so it was meaningless to learn like that.

However, more than a month had passed now. Not only had Chu Xiaoxi exceeded Chu Nan’s expectations and persisted in cultivating, her improvement was even quite obvious. She had practiced the basic fist techniques and even the few moves of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist that Chu Nan had given her well. It could be seen how determined she was.

Moreover, Chu Nan had already opened up the meridians needed to open up to the fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique without any suspense. He had also successfully cultivated the fifth level and became a true Internal Breath Martial Artist.

After becoming an Internal Breath Martial Artist, Chu Nan’s control and understanding of Internal Breath were much stronger than when he was at the Overlord Body Realm. He was confident that he could help Chu Xiaoxi not take the wrong path.

When he thought of this, Chu Nan nodded at Chu Xiaoxi.

“Alright, from today onwards, I’ll teach you the Nine Revolutions Technique.”

Chu Xiaoxi immediately jumped up in excitement and pulled Chu Nan to sit on the ground.

“Come, come, come. Brother, quickly teach me. Should I meditate first?”

“Meditation is only the situation. It’s not important. What’s important is to learn to sense the existence of Internal Breath.”

Chu Nan shook his head and gestured for Chu Xiaoxi to sit in front of him. Then, he recalled the various basic knowledge about Internal Breath that he had found through the Milky Way Network before he started practicing martial arts. Coupled with his current understanding, he explained it to Chu Xiaoxi in detail.

Contrary to Chu Nan’s expectations, although Chu Xiaoxi was not interested in martial arts at all and could be said to know nothing about martial arts, her comprehension ability was extremely shocking. Chu Nan had only explained it slightly, but she could actually completely understand it and even draw inferences.

In less than half an hour, Chu Xiaoxi had actually successfully taken the first step in all martial artists’ cultivation—sensing the Internal Breath.

When he heard Chu Xiaoxi describe her, he felt a very weak warm current flowing through his body like a worm. Chu Nan was rather speechless.

Back then, he had spent three days doing this, but Chu Xiaoxi only used less than half an hour!

Even if Chu Xiaoxi had Chu Nan explaining and guiding her in detail now and he did not have anyone to guide him back then, the huge difference was still enough to show that her martial arts talent was probably extremely good.

Or perhaps… it was just that his martial arts talent was too poor?

Chu Nan hurriedly shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind.

He would not admit that his martial arts talent was too poor. At most, he did not have a master to guide him when he was young.

“Very good. Xiaoxi, since you can sense the existence of Internal Breath, it proves that you already have the foundation to cultivate Internal Breath cultivation methods. Come, I’ll teach you the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.”

Chu Nan opened his personal terminal. As he displayed the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique that Su Xuansheng had left on the Milky Way Network, he opened the various comprehensive information he had gathered regarding the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique and explained it to Chu Xiaoxi in detail with his own understanding.

An hour later, Chu Nan and Chu Xiaoxi pressed their hands together and felt the weak but unquestionable Internal Breath impact from her palm. They were speechless again.

Was this Chu Xiaoxi’s talent really that high?

In less than an hour, she had already successfully cultivated the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique!

“Xiaoxi… I suddenly regret it.” Chu Nan suddenly sighed.

“Regret what?” Chu Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

“I regret not forcefully pulling you along to cultivate when I was cultivating. If you had insisted on cultivating since you were young, you would probably be much stronger than me now…”

“Really?” Chu Xiaoxi widened her eyes, “Brother, do you think I’m very talented?”

“Really.” Chu Nan smiled bitterly, “I’m not sure if your talent is really very high, but I’m certain that it’s definitely higher than mine.”

Chu Xiaoxi immediately laughed proudly.

“That’s great! Brother, after I cultivate for a few years and surpass you, I won’t need you to protect me anymore. Instead, I’ll protect you!”

Chu Nan smiled and shook his head before sighing in his mind.

From the looks of it, in terms of talent, Chu Xiaoxi’s talent was higher than his. If she could start practicing martial arts when she was young and obtain perfect martial arts guidance, Chu Nan was certain that her achievements were definitely much higher than his own at the same age. She even had the hope of becoming an Internal Breath Martial Artist at the age of 16.

However, it was too late to start practicing martial arts now. There were only two to three years left before the adult body that Rengal had pointed out completely matured.

Moreover, girls developed their bodies earlier than boys. If they matured early, she might have even less time left.

In only two to three years, or even less, how could Chu Xiaoxi turn from an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts to an Internal Breath Martial Artist?

If he could not do this, Chu Xiaoxi would be like him in the future. Because of the flaws in her body, it would be very difficult for her to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate and become a true expert.

“Brother? What’s wrong? What’s with this expression? Quickly continue teaching me?” Chu Xiaoxi cultivated for a while more. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that Chu Nan was looking at her with a sigh and could not help but ask in surprise.

No! There was still time, there was still a chance!

Chu Nan looked at Chu Xiaoxi’s excited face that was filled with anticipation and took a deep breath before saying seriously, “Xiaoxi, I have a method that can allow you to cultivate better and advance faster, but…”

“But what? A way to make me stronger faster? Why can’t I use it? Tell me quickly.” Chu Xiaoxi immediately urged.

“However… it might hurt a little…”
