Urban Seduction: Housewives Club-Chapter 2052 - 381: Power and Speed 2

Wang Yalan said, "It can’t be said like that. With the Warriors Alliance around, we certainly can’t eliminate the Zhang family of Jinling. But even then, the Tianhai Zhang family wouldn’t dare do anything to us, right? Without the Warriors Alliance, they would probably have sent experts who we couldn’t withstand long ago."

"Yes, if that were the case, our three major families would indeed be in danger," Wang Yaning nodded in agreement.

"What are you guys talking about?" Zhu Liyue suddenly appeared not far away, walking towards them while asking.

Only then did Wang Yalan and the others realize why Wang Yue had changed the topic. Apparently, he had noticed earlier that Zhu Liyue was approaching.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was high, so he realized before Zhu Liyue heard their conversation. Otherwise, if such a situation involving siblings getting too close together were to be overheard by others, it would be troublesome.

"Nothing much, we were just discussing the current situation in Jinling," Wang Yue said. "The Zhang family of Jinling now has the support of the Tianhai Zhang family, so the situation for our three major families isn’t very good."

"You don’t have to worry about that," Zhu Liyue smiled. "The Tianhai Zhang family won’t send too strong experts. As for ordinary experts, I believe you can handle them."

"Really? Sister Yue, how are you so sure?" Wang Yue asked.

Zhu Liyue replied, "It’s because of the Warriors Alliance. In recent years, I’ve been to many places and truly witnessed the strength of the Warriors Alliance. With them watching over us, not to mention the Tianhai Zhang family, even the real powerful families in the capital wouldn’t dare act rashly."

"But isn’t the Warriors Alliance controlled by these powerful families? How come they still don’t dare act rashly?" Wang Yue asked again.

Zhu Liyue smiled slightly. "Exactly because of this, they don’t dare act carelessly. Those powerful families aren’t united; some even have deep hatreds for each other. They’re all waiting to catch each other’s faults."

Wang Yue sighed. "We can’t pin our hopes solely on this. For those powerful families, the three major families of Jinling are too insignificant. Maybe one day, a small exchange of interests among them could destroy us. So, we must strengthen ourselves first."

Zhu Liyue was surprised. She didn’t expect Wang Yue, at such a young age, to have such insight. Her heart couldn’t help but marvel: Truly worthy of being the nephew of the palace master!

"You’re completely right. We must strengthen ourselves first," Zhu Liyue smiled. "How about we have a battle to see if you’re strong enough?"

"Sister Zhu, what part of my brother do you want to see if he’s strong enough?" Wang Yaru suddenly interjected.

Zhu Liyue realized that her words might have been misunderstood and quickly said, "Of course, it’s his strength and skills. How about, little Wang Yue, do you dare to have a few rounds with me?"

Wang Yue understood that Zhu Liyue wanted to guide him under the guise of a battle.

Although his cultivation level was higher than Zhu Liyue’s, when it came to martial arts skills and experience, he was probably not as good as her, or even far behind.

After all, it was unlikely that Zhu Liyue had also improved rapidly like him.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I’d really like Sister Yue’s guidance."

"To avoid accidentally harming each other, let’s both suppress our cultivation levels to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm," Zhu Liyue suggested.

She had also noticed Wang Xiner’s true cultivation level, and since Wang Yue was Wang Xiner’s twin brother, he probably wasn’t weak either. If they fought freely, her disguise as someone in the Qi Refining Realm wouldn’t hold up.

Wang Yue agreed, and the two immediately went to an open area next to the rockery, got into fighting positions, and began exchanging moves.

Compared to Zhu Liyue, who simply suppressed her cultivation level, Wang Yue had a harder time. He not only had to suppress his cultivation level but also control his true cultivation level to around the middle of the Tianyuan Realm in Zhu Liyue’s eyes.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was much higher than Zhu Liyue’s. With careful control, he didn’t reveal any flaws.

In terms of martial arts skills, Wang Yue didn’t use any unexpected moves. He always used the family-inherited martial arts of the Wang family.

The two exchanged dozens of moves before stopping.

"Your moves are quite proficient, but you lack practical combat experience. You should practice more in the future," Zhu Liyue commented.

Then she added, "But I think your true cultivation level is probably beyond the Qi Refining Realm. But I remember that last time we met, you were only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm. How could you improve so quickly?"

"I once went exploring with my aunt and got caught in a secret realm. There, I obtained a set of cultivation techniques. After practicing them, I reached the Tianyuan Realm," Wang Yue replied, half-truthfully.

"What level of cultivation technique is so powerful? It’s able to elevate one from the Qi Refining Realm to the Tianyuan Realm in such a short time," Zhu Liyue exclaimed in amazement.

Such a powerful technique isn’t even available in the Xuan Nu Palace.

Could it be some kind of heretical technique that requires sacrificing one’s foundation in exchange for rapid advancement?

"It’s indeed powerful, but that technique is only effective before reaching the Tianyuan Realm. Once one reaches the peak of the Tianyuan Realm, it loses its effect," Wang Yue replied casually.

Hearing Wang Yue’s explanation, Zhu Liyue felt relieved and said with a smile, "That’s still quite good. If everyone could practice this technique, I believe it wouldn’t take long before all three major families become experts at the peak of the Tianyuan Realm, thereby firmly establishing their position in Jinling."

"Yes, that’s why we’re all working hard on our cultivation right now," Wang Yue nodded in agreement. "Sister Yue, do you want to try practicing it too? I can teach you."

"Thank you, but no need. The technique I practice is already very good, and it can’t be practiced alongside other techniques." A technique that only allows for rapid advancement to the peak of the Tianyuan Realm naturally has little appeal to Zhu Liyue, who has already reached the Gui Zhen Realm.

However, she was still deeply moved. After all, cultivation techniques are usually kept secret, yet Wang Yue offered to teach her without hesitation, indicating that he didn’t see her as an outsider.

Moved by this, Zhu Liyue decided to give Wang Yue more guidance. She said, "I noticed that not only is your cultivation deep, but your true energy is also purer than that of ordinary warriors, right?"

"Yes, that technique does have the effect of purifying true energy," Wang Yue nodded.

"That’s a great advantage. Have you thought about how to utilize this purer true energy?" Zhu Liyue asked.

"Of course, to enhance the power of my moves," Wang Yue replied. "The purer the true energy, the faster it circulates within the body and the easier it is to control. Applying this to martial arts naturally increases the output of true energy in each move."

"That makes sense," Zhu Liyue nodded first, then added, "But I think it’s not comprehensive enough. After all, no matter how powerful a martial art move is, if it misses its target, it’s useless. Have you considered utilizing this advantage in other areas?"

Wang Yue’s heart stirred. Zhu Liyue really hit upon his weakness. His ultimate move, "Level 8 Great Fury Wind," was indeed powerful enough that even experts at the fifth or sixth level of the De Fan Realm might not be able to parry it.

But he didn’t think he could easily defeat such experts just with this move, because the preparation time before launching the move was too long.

Although he had already reduced the preparation time to within 0.1 seconds, this was still too long for experts at the De Fan Realm.

So he immediately asked, "In what other areas can it be utilized?"

"Speed," Zhu Liyue said.

"With true energy boosting their bodies, warriors won’t be harmed by overly fast movements. What truly limits the speed of moves is the speed at which true energy circulates within the body. Don’t just focus on using purer true energy to increase output. You can actually reduce the output of true energy in each move, thereby making the moves faster."

Wang Yue’s heart trembled. Yes, he had previously focused solely on enhancing the power of his moves, ignoring the fact that purer true energy could also make moves faster.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a saying: "Among all martial arts in the world, nothing is indestructible except speed."

Although this statement is somewhat absolute, it does make sense.

Whether ordinary people or warriors, their bodies have instinctive reactions. When attacked, due to subconscious defensive mechanisms, the body becomes stiff.

Therefore, if the move is fast enough and the force isn’t too weak, it’s possible to achieve something like an "infinite combo" effect in games.

Moreover, Wang Yue’s true energy purity was not just twice or three times that of ordinary warriors, but over forty times. If utilized to its fullest potential, it could increase the speed of moves by more than ten times.

This was just the current situation. If continued to improve, achieving the legendary "Instant Hell Kill" (thousands of strikes in an instant) might not be just a dream anymore. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Following this line of thought, Wang Yue became increasingly convinced that there was much potential.

Of course, he wouldn’t give up on enhancing the power of his moves. After all, it’s true that "no matter how powerful a move is, it’s useless if it misses its target."

But if the attack power isn’t sufficient, even if the speed is fast enough to break through the opponent’s defense, it’s still embarrassing.

Therefore, it’s important to develop both aspects simultaneously.

"Sister Yue, thank you for reminding me. I know what to do now," Wang Yue said sincerely. Zhu Liyue’s guidance was like waking someone from a dream.

Zhu Liyue smiled and said, "It’s nothing. I just proposed an idea. The actual cultivation still depends on you."
