I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds-Chapter 73 - 72: I See You’re Still Alluring, Too

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Qin Mengyun furrowed her elegant brows and shot Liu Dongdong a glare.

Wang Xiao also looked curious and followed Liu Dongdong’s gaze forward.

Ahead of them, three people were walking out of a combat room, heading in their direction.

The man in the lead looked to be around thirty. He had a handsome face, slicked-back hair, and emerald-green eyes that shone like amber, giving him a mixed-heritage look.

When he saw Qin Mengyun, his eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly walked over.

"Mengyun, what a coincidence. You’re in Da Guang City too. It seems you’re also preparing to go to Skull Island?"

The man’s smile was warm and gentle.

Anyone who would travel thousands of miles to Da Guang City at this time was almost certainly heading to Skull Island.

Qin Mengyun’s attitude was cold and distant:

"Gu Xuan, where I go is none of your business. Also, don’t call me Mengyun. We’re not that close."

Gu Xuan’s smile stiffened for a moment before he quickly returned to normal.

"Heh, we’re not exactly strangers, are we? Our marriage was arranged by our elders. There’s no need for you to be so hostile. Besides, I, Gu Xuan, don’t think I’m a bad match for you. It’s certainly not an insult."

"Our marriage alliance is actually a good thing for both our families. A union of the strong. In the future, we might even surpass the Ji Family."

Qin Mengyun said:

"I’m not hostile toward you; I simply can’t stand you. And don’t bring up the alliance. The older generation has gotten muddle-headed. Sooner or later, I’ll snap them out of it and make them shut up!"

Gu Xuan chuckled.

"Still as proud as ever. That’s one of the reasons I admire you. I hope you succeed."

"Good luck on this mission. But if we run into each other on Skull Island, I won’t go easy on you."

Qin Mengyun said:

"Then you’d better pray you don’t run into me. Otherwise, you’ll walk away with nothing."

Gu Xuan shrugged and looked at Liu Dongdong and Wang Xiao, who were standing to the side.

"You and Liu Dongdong are teaming up? It’ll be a bit difficult for you to compete with me for resources. And who’s this next to you? He looks quite young. Since when did you make a habit of bringing along rookies?"

Liu Dongdong’s chest heaved, and she huffed.

"What do you mean, ’rookie’? This is Mengyun’s master! He’s more than ten times stronger than you and younger, too. How does that make you feel?!"

A flicker of light crossed Gu Xuan’s eyes as he looked at Wang Xiao.

"I hadn’t heard that Qin Mengyun had taken another master."

Wang Xiao had no interest in a verbal spat with Gu Xuan, so he chose to ignore him and said to Qin Mengyun:

"Let’s go into the combat room. They probably charge by the hour here. We shouldn’t waste too much time."

Qin Mengyun nodded.

"Yes, let’s go. There’s still a lot I don’t understand that I need to ask Master about."

She paid Gu Xuan no more attention and led Wang Xiao into the combat room.

Liu Dongdong shot Gu Xuan a provocative glance before following them inside.

Watching Wang Xiao and the others enter the combat room, Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

The tall man behind him spoke up:

"Brother Xuan, this Miss Qin is truly rude. She didn’t give you any face at all."

Gu Xuan said lightly, "She has a proud nature and is very resistant to the marriage alliance, so it’s normal that she can’t stand me. However, I’ll conquer her sooner or later. What makes me curious is who that man with her is. For someone as proud as Qin Mengyun to accept him as a master... that truly piques my interest."

With that, he looked at the silent, black-robed man behind him. "Elder Chen, I’ll have to trouble you to look up some information on this person for me."

"Of course."

The black-robed man immediately opened a network connection and input Wang Xiao’s appearance, which he had covertly recorded, to begin a search.

A moment later,

his tone held a hint of surprise. "This person is indeed quite strong. His name is Wang Xiao, twenty-two years old. His family has run a Martial Arts Hall for generations. He just advanced to a Tier Three Life a month ago. The data also shows he jumped directly from a Tier Zero Life to a Tier Three Life. Any more information seems to be unavailable, as if it’s been deliberately sealed and classified!"

Gu Xuan’s eyes flashed. "Oh? Elder Chen, you’re a Tier Five Citizen, yet even you can’t find his complete information? To advance to a Tier Three Life at twenty-two... it seems he really is something special."

The tall man snorted. "He’s just a Tier Three Life. If we run into him on Skull Island, I can crush him with one hand and vent this frustration for Brother Xuan."

Gu Xuan smiled. "Something this minor isn’t enough to make me angry. This isn’t the first time Qin Mengyun has taken a master, either. She’s studied under some great Martial Arts masters before. This man probably just knows some special Martial Arts techniques that convinced her to learn from him. It’s no big deal."

He paused for a moment.

Then, his expression turned serious. "Our main objective on this trip is still the Chaos Jade. It’s the most crucial item for my breakthrough to a Tier Five Life. When the time comes, I’ll be relying heavily on you, Elder Chen."

"Young Master Xuan, you’re too kind. This old man will naturally do everything in my power to ensure your success," the black-robed man said.

...

「Two hours later.」

Inside the combat room.

Wang Xiao sent Qin Mengyun flying dozens of meters with a single kick and said lightly:

"Your Qi circulation is too scattered. There’s a saying: ’From extreme stillness comes motion, the solitary yang returns.’ You must sink your qi to your Dantian and infuse your marrow into all your meridians. When these two become one, the complete Circulation of Inner Qi can be formed. You need to memorize the Inner Qi Network I just demonstrated and study it slowly. This is the foundation. Without it, you will find it incredibly difficult to Open All Passages and become a Human Immortal through Refining Acupoints."

Qin Mengyun let out a breath. "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I’ll study it carefully."

After sparring with Wang Xiao, she truly realized just how profound and complex the new Martial Arts System he had uploaded was.

Even for her, it would take several years, or even longer, to fully absorb it!

Liu Dongdong, who had been watching the entire fight from the sidelines, wore an expression of bewildered admiration.

She had never seen a fighting style like Wang Xiao’s before.

It wasn’t particularly flashy, but every move was vicious and aimed straight for a vital point.

The moment he struck, it felt like there was no escape, as if one were facing a towering mountain.

This was completely different from the attack methods of an ordinary Tier Three Life.

Liu Dongdong couldn’t help but ask, "Wang Xiao, what Life Evolution Path do you cultivate? Combined with your Martial Arts, it’s so powerful!"

Apparently, Qin Mengyun hadn’t revealed much about Wang Xiao to her.

Therefore, she had no idea what Life Evolution Path he cultivated.

Wang Xiao didn’t try to hide it. "The Martial Arts Evolution Path."

His Martial Arts combat style was indeed quite unique and completely different from other Life Evolution Paths.

As long as he fought, anyone determined enough to investigate would surely be able to find out.

There was no need to be secretive about it.

Liu Dongdong raised an eyebrow. "What kind of Life Evolution Path is that? How come I’ve never heard of it?"

Qin Mengyun said, "You never pay attention to the official Life Evolution Path website. How would you know about a recently emerged path?"

Liu Dongdong was taken aback. "It’s new? Then how did Wang Xiao get so strong with it?"

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and her large chest heaved.

"Holy crap, no way!"

Qin Mengyun didn’t elaborate, simply saying:

"The meetup time is approaching. We have just enough time to take a shower."

Liu Dongdong, however, sidled up to Wang Xiao, getting so close she was almost pressing against him.

"Wang Xiao, how about you teach me this Martial Arts Evolution Path, too? What do you think of my aptitude?"

Wang Xiao’s gaze subconsciously flickered to the prominent Jigglypuff pattern on her chest, and he thought to himself:

’Well, you’re certainly... gifted.’

He shook his head. "Not very good. Martial Arts also requires Talent. Your Talent is a bit lacking. However, if you want to learn, you can go to the official website and practice on your own. Getting started shouldn’t be hard."

"I haven’t even tried yet, how do you know my Talent is no good? You just don’t want to teach me!"

Liu Dongdong stomped her foot in frustration, her prominent chest bouncing twice.

’I don’t need you to practice to know. One look is enough to tell your Talent is no good...’ Wang Xiao remained noncommittal.

Qin Mengyun said from the side, "Dongdong, are you coming or not?"

"Coming, coming! Mengyun, wait for me."

She quickly walked over to Qin Mengyun’s side, took her arm, and then looked back at Wang Xiao.

"Wang Xiao, they have co-ed baths here, you know. Want to join?"
