Pawning lifespan, starting from a low-level martial arts world to transform into a dragon.

Chapter 61 Martial Arts Prodigy

Chen Ye looked down at his palm, which had completely lost all feeling and was trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Even if a palm strike from a Dragon Elephant Realm cultivator only uses two or three tenths of their strength, it is still beyond his current cultivation level to withstand head-on.

Cui Yingtang stood still, her sharp gaze fixed on Chen Ye, filled with suspicion.

She would never mistake the sensation she felt just now.

The true energy bursting from the opponent's palm was balanced and peaceful, and its method of exertion and the path of its movement were exactly the same as the Guiyuan Jue.

However, the opponent's true energy was also wrapped in something indescribable and inexplicable, which was heavier and more intense than the Returning Origin Technique.

The two complement each other, combining strength and gentleness, forming a harmonious whole.

However, its foundation is still the Returning to Origin Technique.

She was absolutely certain of this.

Cheng Defu opened his mouth, then silently closed it again.

He had no idea when Chen Ye had learned the Guiyuan Technique.

This kid dutifully ran errands every day, staying right under his nose for two or three months without him noticing at all.

In the Great Jing Kingdom, stealing martial arts techniques from other schools is considered shameful.

Chen Ye showed no fear or intention to back down when faced with Cui Yingtang's questioning.

He straightened up, met Cui Yingtang's gaze, and readily admitted, "Yes!"

"I learned it a few months ago when I was listening to the Second Miss teach her disciples at the martial arts training ground. The Second Miss didn't hide it from me at the time, so I memorized it. This martial art is simple, and after practicing it a few times, I naturally learned it."

"Listen in?" Cui Yingtang stared at him, her face full of disbelief, and sneered, "You think you can learn it after I teach you a few times? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Chen Ye did not answer.

Cui Yingtang suddenly laughed, finding Chen Ye's reasoning utterly absurd: "Although the Guiyuan Technique is only an introductory technique of the Cui family and is not considered advanced, it is impossible to master it without the guidance of the clan's masters. It is laughable that you can figure out the path of cultivation on your own."

Chen Ye did not avoid Cui Yingtang's gaze, but calmly said, "Everything I said is true. I thought this technique was not a secret in the Cui family, so I practiced it casually and did not report it to the Third Miss in time. It was my fault."

Cui Yingtang suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and said coldly, "I want to see just how far you can figure it out yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, a surge of pure and upright true energy rushed from between her fingers into Chen Ye's meridians, quickly circulating throughout his body along the path of the Returning Origin Technique.

The moment Cui Yingtang circulated his true energy, it was like a fuse igniting gunpowder.

Chen Ye's powerful true energy was also stirred up, and then it became unstoppable, surging like a river, and then circulating through the body.

Cui Yingtang's previously cold and mocking expression suddenly froze.

Then it turned into surprise and doubt, and finally into utter shock.

Her tentative burst of true energy was instantly devoured by Chen Ye and became part of his true energy.

"The Return to Origin Technique...Great Perfection!"

Cui Yingtang scanned Chen Ye's face twice, as if to confirm whether she had sensed something wrong.

"How is this possible?!"

Cui Yingtang's mind was in a complete frenzy, a utter mess.

No matter how basic the Guiyuan Technique is, even a genius would need about a year to fully master it with the guidance of a master.

But what about the person in front of you?

If I remember correctly, he had only been in the Cui family for about three months, and at that time there was no trace of the Guiyuan Technique on his body.

In other words, even if one comes into contact with the Guiyuan Technique on the very first day of entering the manor, without any guidance from anyone, one can master it in just three months simply by observing it once!

This can no longer be described as genius.

He's an absolute genius, a prodigy, a martial arts freak!

At this point, it's pointless to argue about whether it was learning by stealing.

Cui Yingtang released his grip, stepped forward, circled him halfway around, and looked him up and down carefully.

Looking at Chen Ye again, she could no longer suppress the fiery passion in her eyes.

"Although the Guiyuan Technique is only an introductory technique of the Cui family, the fact that he could figure out the cultivation path on his own without a master's guidance or secret codes is truly a genius."

"What's even more remarkable is that he seems to have added his own elements, making the Guiyuan Technique perform even better."

"Besides the Returning to Origin Technique, what else have you learned?"

Chen Ye said, "Before joining the Cui family, I learned a rudimentary martial art that focused on nourishing blood and qi, while the Guiyuan Technique focuses on the flow of qi. I combined the two to form a complete circulation."

Cui Yingtang stopped laughing.

She squinted, and when she looked at Chen Ye again, it was as if she were appraising a rare treasure.

She knew that there were several notebooks in the Cui family's library that had mentioned similar ideas, but those were conjectures left by predecessors, and no one had ever actually succeeded.

Although the Guiyuan Technique is gentle, once it is combined with external martial arts techniques, even a slight deviation in the practice route can cause meridian disorders.

Chen Ye, on the other hand, learned it after just one lesson.

Not only did he complete his cultivation in three months, but he also made up for the shortcomings of the Returning Origin Technique.

At this moment, Cui Yingtang, who had always been proud of his talent, felt for the first time what true talent crushing was!

Standing in front of Chen Ye, she couldn't help but lose her composure.

Cheng Defu, standing nearby, didn't dare to breathe.

He had lived half his life and had never seen the Second Miss lose her composure so much when it came to martial arts.

After a long silence, Cui Yingtang turned to Cui Xijun and said in a complicated tone, "Third Sister... it seems you've found an extraordinary follower!"

Cui Xijun is also a clever girl.

Having witnessed how shocked her second sister was by someone her own age, she quickly realized that what Chen Ye said was most likely true.

My second sister started competing in martial arts with the Cui family's retainers when she was fourteen. Now, she is rarely matched among her peers in the capital. There are only a handful of people who can truly convince her.

Cui Xijun was still standing at the courtyard gate, not saying a word, but the way she looked at Chen Ye was completely different from before.

"Your talent in martial arts is extremely rare, not only in our Cui family, but also among your peers throughout the entire capital," Cui Yingtang finally spoke, her tone much more serious than before: "You didn't have a master before?"

"no."

Cui Yingtang immediately laughed, as if she had found a new toy, and said, "Now that you have it, many techniques are easy to go astray if practiced alone. After you return to the manor, come find me. I will teach you."

Cui Xijun then realized what was happening and said directly, "Second Sister, the Guiyuan Technique is a Cui family skill. Since he learned it, even if it was an unintentional mistake, it shouldn't be let off so easily. We need to go back and have Father decide on it."

Cui Yingtang was preoccupied with martial arts, fearing that a gem like Chen Ye would be tarnished, and completely forgot about Chen Ye's identity.

After Cui Xijun's reminder, she remembered that Chen Ye was not yet a scholar, and his loyalty to the Cui family had not been tested. It was impossible to use him so rashly.

She felt a sharp, unbearable pain in her heart, as if being scratched by a cat.

I just find the rules and regulations in this mansion annoying.

"Then, Third Sister, you make the arrangements." Fearing that Cui Xijun was unaware of the terrifying extent of Chen Ye's martial arts talent, Cui Yingtang quickly added solemnly, "Third Sister, you must ensure he continues his martial arts training and provide him with superior martial arts techniques, understand?"

"This person was born for martial arts!"
