Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 58 Lianxing and Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 59 Lianxing and Zhu Yuanzhang

Since her sister wanted to entrust herself to Li Ping, Lianxing wanted to see what kind of person Li Ping was.

Li Ping was easy to find, since everyone in Hengyang knew that the city's number one martial arts master lived there, and that day he had been screaming for half a day, and the whole city could hear him.

Although Lianxing's martial arts skills were not as good as Yaoyue's, they were not far behind, so she could hear Li Ping and the other two talking from a great distance.

She heard a girl say, "Treat time, distance, and changes in moves as independent variables."

"Treat the integrity of the enemy's overall defense as the dependent variable."

"The integrity of the opponent's defense will change according to the factors of your attack, forming a continuous function curve —"

"Then the enemy's weakness lies in the minimum point on this function curve —"

Lianxing was completely bewildered. Was this a discussion about martial arts?

What kind of secret technique is this?

I can't understand a single word!

Li Ping was also confused. He blinked, "Damn it, I was the one who taught you this, how come—"

It's not that I couldn't understand it at all, but even if I wanted to understand it, it would take a lot of time. How could I possibly use it in battle?

It seems that I have no chance of learning Rong'er's martial arts. Therefore, I can infer that I am also unlikely to master the Dugu Nine Swords.

Never mind, it's enough that you can learn it.

Li Ping crossed his arms and said, "I see, I understand everything now!"

"Right, let's think about how we can integrate the Xuanming Divine Palm technique into my own?"

Su Ying said, "Why merge? Directly cultivating together shouldn't be a problem!"

"Moreover, we already have the Mingyu Skill. Although the Xuanming Divine Palm is powerful, it is still far behind the Mingyu Skill."

"Spending time fixing it is putting the cart before the horse."

Li Ping sighed, "But the Xuanming Divine Palm has elemental damage!"

"To cultivate the Mingyu Skill to the point of possessing the attribute of ice and cold, one must reach the ninth level, not to mention whether I have any chance of reaching the ninth level."

"How long will that take? Do we even have that much time?"

"If I practice with fellow practitioners, wouldn't that take twice as much time? So, I'd like to see if I can integrate it into my existing practice—"

Li Ping didn't kill the Xuanming Elders because he wanted their Xuanming Divine Palm.

When the two struck together with a palm, the force was overwhelming and extremely cold, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The unique attribute bonus of this true energy made Li Ping very envious.

Now that he has obtained the Xuanming Divine Palm, these two idiots have become resources for his skill upgrade.

Previously, when he killed one person, the time acceleration factor increased to 0.6. After killing two people, it increased to 0.7. After killing Cheng Kun, it increased to 0.8. Cheng Kun killed three people, so in other words, he killed four people.

At this rate of increase, to raise one's own time acceleration factor to 0.9, one would need to kill eight people; to raise it to 100%, one would need to kill sixteen more.

Where would I get so many superhumans to kill? Besides, I can't just kill every superhuman I see. I'm not some kind of serial killer!

Therefore, it's easier to focus on improving one's martial arts skills.

Huang Rong sighed: "Xuanming Divine Palm—I really didn't expect that Li Chenzhou would be defeated by two idiots, and I didn't expect that the person in charge behind this was just a mere Jinyiwei centurion."

Li Ping said, "The martial world is dangerous; countless masters have fallen victim to conspiracies and schemes."

"Is Yan Nantian strong enough? As I told you before, even before he mastered the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, he was already on par with Yaoyue, but he still fell into the hands of the Evil Valley."

"Therefore, we must learn from this lesson and be extremely careful when navigating the world to avoid unexpected setbacks."

"Palace Master, you're back."

"Since you're already here, why bother eavesdropping from so far away?"

Lianxing was slightly taken aback. I was more than sixty feet away, how could he sense me?

It seems he's not as incompetent as his sister said.

After a few leaps, Lianxing landed in Li Ping's courtyard. All three of them were taken aback. Who was this?

Li Ping was even more embarrassed; had he mistaken someone for someone else?

But it's not my fault. Her aura is so similar to Yaoyue's. I'm not very familiar with recognizing people by their aura!

Li Ping immediately said, "So it is the Palace Mistress Lianxing who has graced us with her presence. Please come in."

Huang Rong exclaimed in surprise, "So you are the Palace Mistress Lianxing! You are just as beautiful as Palace Mistress Yaoyue!"

"But what's wrong with Palace Mistress Yaoyue? We're a little worried about her."

Worried about her?

You are probably the only people in this world who would worry about her. No wonder your sister passed on the Mingyu Skill to you.

She only said, "She's fine, she just asked me to check on your progress in your cultivation."

Li Ping shook his head and said, "To be honest, I still can't believe that Palace Master Yaoyue would do such a thing."

Lianxing said, "I can't believe it either. By the way, what were you talking about just now? It sounded quite interesting—"

Li Ping then recounted what had happened.

After listening, Lianxing sneered, "These lackeys of the government actually dare to covet us? They're delusional and courting death."

Li Ping shook his head and said, "We really can't underestimate them. The government of this world used to ignore the martial arts world because there was no profit in it."

"People in the martial arts world kill each other all year round, but they can't kill many people. Moreover, it's mostly infighting among themselves, so it can be considered as eliminating social hazards."

"Once there's real profit to be made, I don't know how crazy they'll get."

He raised the banner of immortality, but he wasn't sure how effective it would be.

Moreover, since Prince Ning has been rebelling for more than half a year, Emperor Zhengde probably doesn't have many days left to live.

If that immortal emperor were to ascend the throne, I've heard he could kill supernatural beings and seize the blessings bestowed by immortals. I really don't know what he would do.

At this moment, in the Leopard House.

Emperor Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao, is listening to a report from Qian Ning, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Qian Ning said, "I have confirmed that those falling from the sky were not shooting stars, but people. They came from the previous dynasty, some even from the Song Dynasty, and they were all people from the martial arts world."

"They are blessed by the immortals; killing them will allow us to seize their blessings."

At this point, he said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory is spreading rumors and misleading the public. This is not a celestial omen, but a sign of good fortune."

"As long as His Majesty receives these blessings from the immortals, he will surely be able to ascend to the celestial realm—"

He naturally heard Li Ping's message from the centurion, but how could he possibly take the words of a wandering swordsman to heart?

Naturally, he would say whatever pleased the emperor, knowing that the emperor was naturally curious and would definitely be very interested in such a wonderful thing!

The Zhengde Emperor leaned back in his chair, his expression unusually calm: "So it's true?"

"But since you knew they were blessed by immortals, why did you dare kill them and steal their blessings?"

"Are you sure the immortals won't be enraged and unleash divine punishment?"

Qian Ning was startled. He knew that although there were all sorts of rumors circulating, and His Majesty had indeed acted absurdly, absurdity did not mean stupidity or incompetence. In fact, His Majesty was very intelligent.

Qian Ning then prostrated himself on the ground: "Your subject has been ill-considered and acted rashly; please forgive me—"

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand impatiently: "Go down."

Then, he led his men into a large room.

There were heavy guards outside, but even the guards didn't know who lived inside. They only knew that the emperor himself brought in the food.

The Zhengde Emperor went inside, where a middle-aged man was sitting, reading a book about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao bowed to the middle-aged man and said, "Greetings, Grandfather Taizu."

More than two months ago, a shooting star fell from the sky. At that time, Zhu Houzhao was secretly strolling outside when a shooting star landed in front of him and claimed to be Zhu Yuanzhang.

He would never have believed such nonsense under any circumstances.

But it fell from the sky!

He could only secretly lock this man claiming to be Zhu Yuanzhang in a room and slowly investigate the truth.
