Everyone in the dojo fell silent, staring in horror at one direction, where a small, all-white sheep was bleating softly.

"Actually, I wanted to turn him into a pig. Would you believe me if I said it was a mistake? Or should I try again?"

Seeing Yi Shuihan's finger pointing at them, the group of people were terrified. They shook their heads in horror, threw down their guns, and knelt down with a thud.

"No, please let me go! I don't want to become a pig, nor do I want to become a sheep."

"I have an 80-year-old mother, a baby crying for milk, a beautiful wife and sister-in-law, and a loving husband. Please, let me go."

“Master, my daughter is eighteen years old. I am willing to bring her to serve you. Please forgive me.”

"I have a beautiful younger sister who would be perfect to be the master's maid."

"I'm willing to offer my chrysanthemum, please spare me."

Yi Shuihan was momentarily confused. What was all this about? The others were one thing, but the one with a wife, sister-in-law, and husband, and the one offering chrysanthemums—could you guys be any more normal?

"Shut the hell up, all of you. If anyone says another word, I'll turn them into a mouse and lock them up with a cat."

As expected, those words had their power; the once noisy dojo fell silent once more.

Compared to blocking bullets before, turning people into sheep while they're still alive is even more terrifying. And according to Yi Shuihan, he can also turn people into pigs or rats.

Imagine yourself becoming a mouse, being chased by a cat? Just imagining it is enough to make you despair.

"boom"

A gunshot shattered the silence.

A seemingly cheerful young man had somehow shot himself in the foot. Seeing Yi Shuihan looking over, he quickly endured the pain and said...

"Master, I have done as you asked. Can I leave now?"

Yi Shuihan glanced at the man unexpectedly, then nodded in agreement.

The young man quickly thanked Yi Shuihan and limped out of the dojo.

To be a person like Yi Shuihan, who would thank others even after being shot himself, is an extremely high level of character. At least Ah Liang felt that he would be satisfied if he could be like Yi Shuihan someday.

After that, everyone else seemed to wake up from their daze and picked up their guns to shoot themselves in the foot. Although it hurt a lot, as long as they went to the hospital early, they would only need to recuperate for a few months at most. Compared to turning into pigs, sheep, or rats, this was an acceptable consequence.

In the blink of an eye, almost everyone in the dojo had left, leaving only Yi Shuihan, A Liang, and Qiu Ning and her father, a total of four people.

Qiu Hu looked at Yi Shuihan with incredibly complicated emotions. Yi Shuihan's strength had completely disrupted his plans. He was only safe now because of his daughter's reputation. If he continued to prevent his daughter from learning martial arts here, he didn't know what would happen.

Having witnessed Yi Shuihan's extraordinary abilities, he no longer objected to his daughter learning martial arts here. School diplomas and such were far inferior to true strength.

The reason he went to such lengths to cause trouble was because he thought Yi Shuihan was just an ordinary martial artist. Even if his daughter came here to learn martial arts, she wouldn't learn anything. No matter how high her martial arts skills were, she would still be taken down with a single spear thrust.

"Daughter! Just relax and study with Master Yi here! I'll take care of everything else, and I'll also talk to your mother."

Qiu Hu's mindset changed, and he instructed his daughter.

"Yes, Dad, I will try my best."

Qiu Ning felt very happy to see that her father also supported her.

"Actually, I think Master Yi is a really capable person. If you're going to find a boyfriend in the future, you should definitely look for someone like him who is capable."

Qiu Hu winked at Qiu Ning, then turned to Yi Shuihan and said...

“Master Yi, I was wrong today, but please forgive me from the perspective of a father. If there is anything you need in the future, please feel free to ask. As long as it is within my power, I will do it.”

After speaking, Qiu Hu looked at Yi Shuihan nervously, afraid that Yi Shuihan would not agree or would simply drive Qiu Ning away. If Qiu Ning were driven away, Qiu Hu felt that he would never forgive himself for ruining his daughter's greatest opportunity in life.

"Don't worry, as long as Qiu Ning wants to learn, I will definitely teach her seriously."

Having discerned Qiu Hu's thoughts, Yi Shuihan stated that he could understand Qiu Hu's feelings; if he were Qiu Hu, he would probably make the same choice.

Chapter 929, Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference

Qiu Hu left with a big smile on his face. Although he had lost face by bringing his men today, and most of his men were temporarily unusable, he still felt it was worth the trip. He couldn't help but smile as he walked, knowing that his daughter could learn from such an extraordinary person as Yi Shuihan.

If Qiu Hu hadn't felt that he was too old and that it would be difficult for him to learn anything, he probably would have directly become an apprentice.

If Yi Shuihan knew Qiu Hu's thoughts, he would probably say, "You're overthinking it. Even a seventy or eighty-year-old man could become a little superman after learning from me."

"A-Liang, you continue with the eighteenth set of broadcast gymnastics. Qiu-Ning, come with me. I'll teach you the basics first."

Yi Shuihan planned to teach Qiu Ning the eighteenth set of broadcast gymnastics, but he would make subtle changes based on Qiu Ning's situation to maximize the effect of the broadcast gymnastics on her.

The 18th set of broadcast gymnastics was designed by Yi Shuihan based on the human physique. However, since everyone's physique is slightly different, not everyone will receive the same benefits from practicing broadcast gymnastics.

As the second student at the dojo, and being a girl, Qiu Ning naturally received certain benefits from Yi Shuihan. One of these benefits was that he specially modified the broadcast gymnastics for her. As a result, her progress was definitely faster than those who only practiced the original version.

"Let me demonstrate it for you first, watch carefully."

After giving Qiu Ning a routine set of radio calisthenics, Yi Shuihan had her try it out.

Qiu Ning's talent was quite good, not much worse than A Liang's. She gritted her teeth and persevered until she finished the first pose.

The intense fatigue made Qiu Ning want to give up, but when she thought of Yi Shuihan's great power and how she wanted to possess that magical power, a strange force surged within her that allowed her to persevere.

"Not bad, you did even better than Ah Liang did the first time. Now sit cross-legged and do as I say."

Soon, Qiu Ning regained her spirits and felt her increased strength, her face full of smiles.

"Come on, do the first move again."

Yi Shuihan gestured for Qiu Ning to come again.

"Yes!"

Qiu Ning resumed her movements.

"Stop, here you need to move your arm a little to the left, I'll help you correct it, remember this feeling."

Yi Shuihan gently pulled Qiu Ning's arm to the left, and Qiu Ning felt as if most of her strength had instantly dissipated.

"Remember this feeling? Yes, I remember it. In the future, just wait for this feeling before continuing the action."

"Okay, I've got it."

Yi Shuihan did not notice the fleeting blush on Qiu Ning's face and continued to subtly alter Qiu Ning's movements.

To ensure Qiu Ning could remember all the changes, Yi Shuihan even led her through all the subsequent positions. Fortunately, during this process, Yi Shuihan injected a stream of immortal energy into Qiu Ning's body; otherwise, Qiu Ning would have suffered a backlash due to excessive energy expenditure.

After completing a set of movements, Qiu Ning, who was originally just an ordinary person, suddenly became as powerful as A Liang. The outcome of their fight is still uncertain.

……

"Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference?"

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Yi Shuihan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. It was time to let the whole West know what true martial arts were.

Not far away, A Liang and Qiu Ning were fighting for the position of senior brother (senior sister). Their figures were so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Their punches made a sound of breaking air. If others saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Even top martial artists could not do this kind of fighting power.

"Junior sister, watch out, I'm about to use Frost Fist."

"You should also try my Wind God Leg."

Ah Liang shouted and punched out repeatedly, streams of white air transforming into gusts of wind that swept outwards, causing the air temperature to drop sharply wherever they passed, leaving trails of white frost.

In contrast, Qiu Ning's every movement of her legs created a whirlwind, and each kick was a gust of wind that collided with and neutralized A Liang's frost.

Compared to simple air blasting, A-Liang and Qiu-Ya's way of using air is much more sophisticated because it incorporates unique attributes. A-Liang's is ice, while Qiu-Ya's is wind. Ice can slow down the opponent's attack and has a certain frostbite effect, while wind has a very high attack speed and a tearing effect.

Ah Liang ultimately defeated Qiu Ning by a very narrow margin, thus upholding his status as the senior disciple.

"Junior sister, thank you for letting me."

With his hands behind his back, Ah Liang adopted a nonchalant demeanor, trying to prevent Qiu Ning from seeing his true condition—he was far more tired than he appeared.

"As expected of the senior brother, but next time I will definitely become the senior sister."

Qiu Ning said somewhat unwillingly, thinking that she must practice more when she got back.

"Alright, all of you come here."

Yi Shuihan beckoned the two over and handed them the invitation.

"Teacher Yi, what is this?"

"An invitation to the Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference?"

“I know, I know. I’ve even been there before. Almost every martial arts school in Xidu sends someone there, ostensibly to exchange martial arts techniques, but actually to showcase the strength of their own school.”

Compared to A Liang, Qiu Ningming knew more and gave a fairly detailed account of the Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference.

"Get ready. Take a break today. Tomorrow, come with me to the martial arts tournament. It's time to let people know about our Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy."

With a wave of his hand, Yi Shuihan made his decision.

A-Liang and Qiu-Ning exchanged a glance, both seeing eagerness in each other's eyes. These days they had been practicing martial arts at the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall, their only opponent being each other. They had long hoped to spar with people from other martial arts halls, wanting to showcase the strength of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall and let more people understand what true martial arts are.

If Yi Shuihan hadn't strictly forbidden the two from displaying their strength in front of others, the Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy wouldn't still only have two students.

"If I had more fellow disciples, I would be more deserving of the title of senior brother. But with only one junior sister, who is always clamoring to challenge me, being the senior brother is meaningless."

Chapter 930, The Little Man Mavis

At the Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference venue, students and martial arts masters dressed in various martial arts uniforms arrived early, forming small groups of three or five, chatting and laughing, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.

Please show me the invitation.

The guard in the black suit dutifully stopped Yi Shuihan and his party. When he saw that Yi Shuihan had only brought three people, and they were all so young, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Yi Shuihan took out the invitation and handed it to the guard. The guard examined it carefully for a long time before reluctantly making way. He actually wanted to find out the problem with the invitation and then stop Yi Shuihan from entering.

"That girl is quite pretty, it's a pity she's studying at such a small martial arts school."

The guard muttered to himself, unaware that his words were clearly heard by Yi Shuihan and his two companions, who were dozens of meters away.

"Junior sister! Aren't you angry?"

A-Liang asked Qiu Ning, who remained completely silent, with curiosity.

"What's there to be angry about? He'll soon realize his mistake, and our Zhenwu Dojo will definitely be the brightest star of this tournament."

Qiu Ning looked completely matter-of-fact, and A Liang nodded in agreement, also very confident in his own abilities.

"Little girl, you're so confident, be careful not to capsize!"

"But we still have you, teacher!"

Qiu Ning said playfully to Yi Shuihan. In front of Yi Shuihan, who seemed not much older than him, her tone and actions were like a little girl coaxing an elder, which made many people's eyes keep drifting in their direction. At the same time, Yi Shuihan also felt a lot of hostile eyes.

Just then, a group of people walked towards them, led by a blond youth. Their martial arts uniforms made it clear that they were students of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, one of the three top martial arts academies in Xidu.

"Qiu Ning, is that you? I really didn't expect to meet you here. It's me, Mavis. We met at your birthday party this year."

Mavis, the blond youth, acted like a familiar friend and tried to get close to Qiu Ning after seeing her.

"Yes, I remember you."

Qiu Ning was indifferent to Mavis's advances. In the past, she might have patiently chatted with him for a while, after all, Mavis was a figure in the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. But now? She felt that she didn't need to pay attention to the head of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, even though she had once admired the head of the academy who could break 10 bricks.

Mavis didn't seem to care about Qiu Ning's coldness at all; it was as if Qiu Ning's words were a victory for him.

Mavis was born into an ordinary family and longed to join the upper class. With his good martial arts talent, he did quite well at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. Through his deliberate flattery, the academy owner also took a liking to him and invited him to participate in this martial arts exchange conference.

All of this seemed glamorous, but Mavis knew that this was not a long-term solution. He needed an opportunity to truly enter high society, and he would stop at nothing to get it. Right now, his opportunity was Qiu Ning. As long as he could win Qiu Ning's heart and marry her, Mavis could completely turn his life around and become the person he dreamed of being.

Even if Qiu Ning were ugly, Mavis wouldn't care. What he wanted was power, and women would come naturally with power. And reality was even more satisfying for Mavis. Qiu Ning wasn't the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she was definitely one of the most beautiful.

Could you move aside?

"what?"

Before Mavis could react, Qiu Ning impatiently reached out a hand and gently pushed him, causing him to involuntarily step back and make way for her.

Even after Qiu Ning had walked away, Mavis was still confused. He didn't understand how he had been pushed away, and he couldn't believe she had such strength.

"Senior Brother Mavis, you're going a bit overboard with your act for the sake of a beautiful woman!"

One of the martial arts students who was with Mavis said something strange, and the others realized what he meant and agreed with him.

"What do you know? This is just gentlemanly conduct."

Mavis went along with it, leaving his questions to himself for the time being.

On the other hand, Yi Shuihan and his group, who had gone far away, finally found their place in the venue. It was very far back, the second to last row, which could be said to be the worst one.

"Teacher, should I go and talk to them and ask them to change our seats?"

Qiu Ning asked.

"No need, this place is fine."
