Chapter 23: The Queen is Critically Ill
"Pain, pain, pain."
Alice rubbed her head, frowned, and looked up at the swirling sandbag overhead.
The original martial arts training ground has been completely transformed into a different look, large and small, thick and thin plum blossom piles are all over the place, and the sandbags hanging from the ceiling are constantly randomly whipped back and forth.
After Tiandao left and Liu Tian didn't need this kind of place to exercise, this martial arts training ground became the exclusive use of Alice to hone her dodge ability.
After all, it has passed the best time to exercise, and in terms of adaptability to martial arts, although Alice is much more talented than Liu Tian, it is only just up to the standard.
If there is no accident, such as the sudden awakening of an electric current propulsion force or something, Alice is estimated to be wandering outside the door in this life, at best, under the accumulation of money, she is lucky to become a parallel martial artist who can't beat the beginner exerciser.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Tian has no intention of forcing Alice to practice martial arts - just since he wants to explore the ruins with him, he must at least learn to escape, right?
With this idea in mind, Liu Tian and the martial arts master Tiandao consulted a set of secret martial arts that were specially used to exercise the body and dodge - the Shadow Wandering Dragon Step.
According to the evaluation of Tiandao, although the overall evaluation of the Shadow Hunting Dragon Step can only be regarded as a third-rate secret martial art, it is easy to get started, the practice speed is fast, and the small range of dodging is unique, if you can reach the martial artist with this, it is easy to hide with less than three pistols and one rifle below.
Liu Tian also practiced a little, and with the martial artist's mastery of himself, he easily entered the door within ten days, and the effects shown in the effort panel were as follows:
Shadow Wandering Dragon Step: Level 1, Special Effect: Light Body (Level 1), and then add Level 2 Light Body Effect every Level 3. Upgradable, mergeable.
Because the special effects are completely covered by the Heavenly Martial Killing Dao, the entry of the Shadow Seeking Dragon Step has not brought any changes to Liu Tian, but there are some more skills to dodge in a small area.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Tiandao is obviously proficient in a hundred martial arts, but in addition to opening the Heavenly Martial Killing Dao, he did not teach Liu Tian more martial arts.
The special effects include both physical strength and light body, and at the same time, there are explosive killing moves in the Tianwu Killing Dao, which is enough to cover most of the practice effects of internal and even external skills.
There may be some special secret martial arts practiced to the limit, which is enough to surpass the Heavenly Martial Killing Dao in some aspects, but the comprehensive improvement of the Heavenly Martial Killing Dao is difficult for them to beat.
Therefore, before reaching the limit, when he needs to expand his comprehensiveness to improve his actual combat ability, Liu Tian has no need to spend time practicing something that is useless to him.
After all, in the eyes of Tiandao, Liu Tian's martial arts talent is not very qualified, at most he is an ordinary person, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Tian just happened to break into sight when he was disheartened and broke the jar, it would be impossible for Tiandao to accept him as an apprentice.
And Liu Tian, who has grown up slowly by relying on hard work and the teaching of famous teachers, if he is distracted from practicing the rest of his martial arts before breaking through the martial artist, he may not be able to break through the martial artist in this life.
is the best in the world, if his only two personal apprentices can't break through the martial arts, where will the old face of the Heavenly Dao go?
"Fell again?" Liu Tian looked around and confirmed that there was no damage to the martial arts training ground, so he cared, "I mentioned it to you before, you have just practiced the plum blossom pile, lay a good foundation first, don't worry about trying to increase the limit on yourself, it is not yet time for you to come this far." β
"Hey, I want to push myself and see my potential." Alice, who was wearing a strong suit, got up, gently tapped her head with her right fist, and said coquettishly, "Don't you often say, look at your unlimited potential." β
Liu Tian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Alice could remember a casual sentence at the beginning, and then laughed and said: "That's because I have potential, do you have it?" β
"Huh? Didn't I have one? β
"Even if there is, it's not like you can explode when you haven't even laid the foundation." Liu Tian said with a smile, "Lay a good foundation for a year, step by step, the time is still long, your talent is better than mine, don't be in such a hurry." β
"Liar." Maybe it's because of her familiarity, Alice is not as restrained as before, and she can say whatever comes to mind, "I have inquired with the Heavenly Dao teacher, and at the age of 17, I have reached the realm of being only one step away from martial artists, even if he teaches him carefully, then at least I have to surpass the talent of most people to do it." β
"And my talent is only a little higher than ordinary people, Brother Tian, your talent is much better than mine."
"I'm not that talented." Liu Tian shrugged, "I'm just working hard enough." β
"Talent combined with hard work is the secret to success, right?" Alice rolled her eyes, ""
βοΌβ Just as the two were talking, Liu Tian frowned, and his keen sense made him hear the unfamiliar footsteps outside the door.
Flat leather boots, regular but quick, this is the footsteps of an adult man.
"Knock knock, knock knock!" Although the footsteps could tell that the person was very anxious, he still knocked on the door quite politely, and it was obvious that it should not be an enemy.
But even so, in order to avoid danger, Liu Tian still deliberately went to open the door - this is an obvious old gentleman of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom, always with a gentle smile on his face, a black tuxedo and a white shirt, a well-ironed handmade tie is delicately cared, and a carnation pinned to his chest, which is the flag flower of the Gaine family.
Obviously, the person who came was inseparable from the Gain family.
That's exactly what happenedβ
"Steward Jimon!" Before the visitor could introduce herself, Alice was already very happy to say the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly walked over, "Long time no see, Mom and Dad and brothers are back?" β
"Good afternoon, Fourth Miss." The person who was called Jimeng's butler greeted him with a smile, and immediately looked at Liu Tian, "You are Young Master Liu Tian, right?" Thank you for taking care of Miss these days, and thank you for saving Miss for the second time. β
"It's not so polite." Since he was not an enemy, and at the same time he felt very easily that the person who came might not be enough to fight with one hand, Liu Tian was not too nervous, and returned at the same time as letting go of a position, "Miss Tia has already paid the life-saving reward, and there is nothing indebted between us." β
"The right to appreciate some antiques is not as good as the pearl of the Gaine family." Jimon bowed down and thanked him, "Originally, Count Eddie was going to come in person, but suddenly there was news that the queen was seriously ill, so I really couldn't take it out, if Young Master Liu Tian is willing, when everything calms down, the Gaine family will set up a family banquet to invite you to express your gratitude in person." β
"That's not necessary, I'll talk about it later when I have a chance." Liu Tian raised his head to look at the sky, and seemed to be able to hear the sound of the ship docking in the distance, "Calculate the time, my father should almost come back, maybe we have to go back to our hometown." β
"Alice, since your family has come to pick you up, let's finish practicing here today." Liu Tian turned around and said to Alice, "After that, I will most likely have to go back to the Red Cloud Empire to visit my possible brother or sister, if I don't open the door tomorrow, it will prove that I have already gone back." β
"You have to practice hard during my absence, and if you really can't do it, you can move out of Master, presumably such a little face, no matter who will give it."
Liu Tian is not a fool, these days, why is Tia so serious, and when Ai Lian is looking for opportunities from time to time, excuses to approach, he also has points in his heart, and it is precisely for this reason that he is willing to make a promise here instead of Tiandao - a promise that may be used.
Liu Tian is not a person who likes to borrow the prestige of his elders, nor does he like to make promises on behalf of others, but when his own ability is insufficient, he has to do it.
It is precisely because of this that he did not give too many promises, otherwise with Liu Tian's perception of Alice and Tia, even if he is not familiar with the undercurrent of the Hundred Flowers Kingdom, he may give further promises.
But when he didn't know the attitude of the Heavenly Dao, Liu Tian would not be too much of a substitute, and it was already his limit to do this.
"Well, goodbye." Hearing this, Steward Gimon's eyes lit up, and Lovely Lisi was a little confused, but she didn't want to think about it as her usual attitude if she couldn't think of anything bad, so she just waved her hand and said.
"Goodbye!" Liu Tian said softly, "See you in the future." β
