is moment, someone seemed to discover something. It was that, apart from Xiaying and Ke Shan, it appeared that everyone else were girls. This made Ke Shan feel very pleased. He hoped that Xiaying woul...Chapter 287 Understanding 2

"No way, you're only twenty-one I feel like you're almost thirty. Oh wait, my bad, you aren't nearly thirty, you just look more mature for a twenty-one-year-old!" Seeing Fang Ling's anger, Xianyao felt that it wasn't wise to provoke her further.

Actually, it wasn’t as if Xianyao was trying to provoke Fang Ling; she did look incredibly mature and beautiful compared to other girls of the same age. However, this maturity and beauty didn't make her seem old or experienced, but rather youthful and pure—it was an intriguing contradiction.

"Just tell me straight up, will you take me out or not!" Fang Ling wasn’t in the mood for Xianyao’s word games and questioned him directly.

And that was precisely what she had come to see him about today. It wasn't just about Chen Xi's matter; it was mainly about whether he could take her outside.

Xianyao shook his head and said firmly, "That’s definitely not possible! I don’t have the right and also don’t want to invite trouble for myself. Wait a year before you go out, just one year, there's no need to be in such a hurry!"

"You make it sound so easy; a whole year! I can't waste my time like that! Besides, I know you don’t have this right—no one does—but what I want is for you to secretly take me out," Fang Ling said. Sometimes people who wanted something couldn’t wait even a moment, let alone a whole year.

"I can't do it secretly with so many people around." Xianyao casually said this, which was clearly an excuse to avoid the issue.

"You're dodging my question!" Fang Ling could see through his evasion. "Back then you sneaked into the Fang Family Cemetery. If not for being led there by someone else, they wouldn’t have been able to catch you at all!!"

"No, actually even without that incident, I might still get caught," Xianyao continued evading, making it impossible for anyone to refute his statement.

"You’re still dodging! If you won't take me out, just say so!" Fang Ling said angrily.

"I already told you straight up; you insisted on bringing this topic back," Xianyao replied with a smile. This made Fang Ling even more frustrated; she wanted to grab his chair but found him standing to the side.

So what if he’s standing aside I'll still give it to him!

Fang Ling picked up the chair and threw it at Xianyao. Of course, Xianyao dodged easily!

Jokingly speaking, that force was quite considerable; previously, it would have just been a little dust. If she had hit him, he might have sustained some injury, though not severe—still, Xianyao didn't like getting hurt.

"You dare to dodge!" Fang Ling got even angrier and tried to grab him as she jumped over. However, by the time she moved, Xianyao had already slipped to another side.

Fang Ling was infuriated and shouted, "And you still dodge! ", chasing after him again. The result remained unchanged; every time she moved, he would move beforehand, maintaining a distance no matter how hard she tried to close it.

Impossible! How can I not even catch someone who’s just an early-stage martial artist

Fang Ling started getting serious and used her full strength to pursue Xianyao. However, despite all her efforts, she couldn't get a hold of him. Although her skills weren’t the best, they were still decent; yet with such a disparity in rank, she was unable to catch up.

This doesn’t make sense!

Fang Ling had never heard of anything like this happening before. Even if someone's agility is superb, their strength is limited by their internal energy level, which means the speed of force delivery depends on one’s rank.

Perhaps it could be possible to surpass a rank or two in an emergency, but with such a huge gap in ranks, that was simply impossible according to normal logic.

But Xianyao was proving that there were exceptions to this rule. His agility far surpassed Fang Ling’s!

Fang Ling could sense she had already given her all, yet it seemed like Xianyao still had some reserve strength; this clearly indicated her defeat in terms of agility alone.

But at the moment, she wasn’t willing to admit defeat because until now, she had only been using her agility and hadn't resorted to any other means!

Now it was clear that Xianyao's strength lay in his agility; therefore, she planned to counter with her own specialty—using martial arts techniques directly against him. At which point he would definitely be caught.

"Fang Family Sword Technique——Infinite Space!!"

"What the heck! You're cheating!"

When Xiao Yao saw Fang Ling attacking him, he immediately dodged. Although it was more dangerous than before, he seemed to be able to handle it and still hadn't been caught by Fang Ling.

Fang Ling initially thought this might just be a coincidence, but later found out that it definitely wasn't. No matter how hard she tried, Xiao Yao could always escape. Sometimes it was just by a hair's breadth, yet he managed to avoid her attacks precisely because of those hairbreadth moments.

Xiao Yao narrowly escaped every time and demonstrated his extraordinary ability in dodging Fang Ling’s attacks unless she used deadly moves; otherwise, there was no way to catch him. Even if she did use a lethal move, it wasn't necessarily effective!

Soon enough, Fang Ling noticed an odd phenomenon—Xiao Yao seemed to be able to predict the trajectory of her attacks. As soon as she made a move, he would run to a safe spot. If this happened just once, it could be coincidental; however, if it occurred repeatedly, coincidence was unlikely.

This implied that either Xiao Yao possessed an extraordinary ability to foresee the future or had a deep understanding of her martial arts techniques—techniques unique to the Fang family. The answer clearly leaned toward the latter; the former was impossible.

If it were the latter, then how did he understand Fang Family’s martial arts Even if he knew some moves from the Qianyu Clan's "Phoenix Wings Soaring," it wasn't a complete understanding.

Not all! Yes, that must be it. It should not have been all of them. I can use some secret techniques that are not passed on externally; he definitely wouldn’t know about those!

Fang Ling made up her mind to use some secret techniques that were not publicly known. Even if Xiao Yao knew a lot, there was no way for him to know everything. Of course, this was under normal circumstances.

However, the current situation was clearly not ordinary; Xiao Yao could still predict moves and take preemptive action. This meant even with a significant gap in strength, he would always be able to dodge attacks.

This, how is it possible She had used all of her family’s secret techniques, yet he knew them all. Even if she couldn't learn all the skills, there were still quite many. No one outside the Fang Family could know this much!

Could it be that in these few days, he read through the martial arts manuals of the Fang Family Impossible! The Fang Family's martial arts manuals would not have been made available to him, and even if they were, how could someone learn so many skills within a few days

What is going on here

"No more playing around! How do you know my moves so well" Fang Ling stopped fighting and asked directly. If she wanted to find out what was happening, might as well ask straight away.

"Because I saw some of your family's martial arts techniques in Chen Shiru’s study room; all yours I have seen!" Xiao Yao answered.

“I see, that is possible! However, even if you've read them, it’s impressive for you to be able to dodge so well. Your agility is very strong.” Fang Ling said as she stated the obvious: this was no simple feat. Just knowing the moves wouldn't guarantee a perfect dodging of all attacks.

When they were testing each other within their own family, Fang Ling also knew what her opponent’s techniques were but couldn’t fully counter them because even with familiar moves, subtle changes could be unpredictable to anyone else.

Herself, too; there was a slight variation in the application of skills that Xiao Yao had figured out completely and thus predicted accurately ahead!

"It’s not really something special. As long as I observe your style and habits after you make moves, it helps. You’ve already shown some techniques to me before, which is why I can predict them." Xiao Yao said modestly.

“You make it sound simple, but even if I watched several matches, I wouldn’t be able to fully anticipate new moves!” Fang Ling pointed out, noting that knowing previously seen moves was one thing, but completely grasping unseen ones was another matter entirely for someone like her who wasn't unintelligent.

“Haha, with enough understanding of martial arts techniques, it’s possible.” Xiao Yao chuckled.

"How much do you know" After hearing his words, Fang Ling became curious. It seemed that even though Xiao Yao's strength was weak, he knew a lot about various martial arts skills in the world, as proven by his earlier display with "Phoenix Wings Soaring."

“Publicly known techniques I understand thoroughly, while others are just four or five out of ten parts. The rest is unknown to me. These are all secret transmissions; however, one can infer some from written records and still needs to work hard!” Xiao Yao said… Huh, he still needs to work hard Calculating it, he already understands seven or eight out of ten martial arts techniques in the world, which no one has ever achieved before. This extent is more than enough; understanding one or two parts of global martial arts would mean grasping them entirely if they weren't too obscure.

"You've already been sufficient for a long time; knowing so much isn’t really useful now since you can instantly understand everything just by looking.” Fang Ling said somewhat helplessly. She wanted to learn this ability but could not, and no one else in the world could either.

Even if someone thought of this method to boost their combat strength, they wouldn't have the capability, and learning through such a way would delay martial arts progression, making it counterproductive.

Fang Ling couldn’t understand why Xiao Yao would study these things!

Xiao Yao didn’t notice Fang Ling’s thoughts; he simply said: "Knowing more may bring new insights. There are many extraordinary people in the world, and there might be some unique martial arts techniques!" RQms.If these were just a few people, one might think it was mere coincidence, but the number of individuals here is significant.
