Chapter 1228: Achieving Mastery

With how extravagant and generous this loaded teammate was, it was obvious that she was providing them with relief!

“Since there isn’t anything else, how about we return to the capital together tomorrow.”

Captain Gao felt that this was a good suggestion. After all, they had been out for more than a month, and the team members were very fatigued. It was time for them to return to the city and recharge.

Besides, with so much mystic currency on hand right now, their basic livelihood was guaranteed.

That’s why he nodded at Qiao Mu as he agreed with a smile, “Okay, let’s return to the capital together.”

Afterwards, Xiao Mi ran over with a smile. “In that case, Gongsun Lie and I will also be returning to Southern Xiao Kingdom first. See you again in a while.”

Qiao Mu nodded. “Then be careful when you travel back.”

“Don’t worry, I’m very strong.” Xiao Mi struck an attacking pose, which caused Gongsun Lie to roll his eyes at this princess behind her back.

“Alright, Princess, stop showing off thoughtlessly. With just that one move of the mystic technique, you had better not take it out and make yourself a laughingstock before experts.”

Qiao Mu twitched her mouth. “Uh, isn’t it that the king of Southern Xiao Kingdom’s famed mystic technique contains 18 moves in one set?”

Yet hearing this, Gongsun Lie chortled ironically.

“What are you laughing at?” Xiao Mi hopped over in fury as she extended a kick at him.

“Cough, that was not a laugh.” Gongsun Lie restrained his amusement and explained, “Each of the 18 moves in the king’s mystic technique is distinctive, but Princess Xiao Mi blended the 18 moves into one and just always uses this one move! Oh, right, the first time she got tested, she even spoke with conviction that this was called not forgetting her roots and advancing step by step from the foundation! The king had even praised her talent at that time, saying that she was able to assume great responsibility by inheriting the martial arts legacy of the Southern Xiao Kingdom’s royal family.”

Xiao Mi coughed dryly and pretended to look around before lowering her head to fiddle with the corner of her clothes.

“Three months later, when the king tested the princess the second time, he realized that she was still demonstrating that single move! The king’s expression started to sink, but he still praised her for training well, taking pains all for the accomplishment of this single move!”

“Pfft…”

Xiao Mi: …

Gongsun Lie continued with a spurious smile, “After another three months, the king tested her for the third time. When she still demonstrated that single mystic technique, only knowing how to ward off other people’s attacks with that single move! The king’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.”

As everyone burst out in laughter, Xiao Mi gave Gongsun Lie a glower. “I-I’m extracting its essence, understand? Even though there is a single move, it is not about the number but the perfection.”

Sis Ge even teased, “The king of the Southern Xiao Kingdom imparted you the set of 18-move mystic technique that made his lifetime reputation, yet you… trampled on such a treasure like this?”

Xiao Mi stomped her foot in fury. “What are you laughing at? I’ve already been training very diligently. I even blended the 18 moves into one, extracting its essence and removing the dregs!!”

When Qiao Mu heard this, she nodded in agreement. “That’s right, mystic techniques were never determined by their number, only by how deeply you are able to comprehend them. If you are able to blend 18 moves into one, that move is absolutely the cream of the essence. It must be super strong.”

Everyone: “…”

“Hahaha!” Gongsun Lie cracked a grin and nodded: It’s so freaking strong that she couldn’t even defeat a level-five mystic cultivator that was one level lower than her!

What was a person to do!

Qiao Mu patted her shoulder. “Continue to train, you can definitely do it. When you thoroughly combine these 18 moves into one single move, you will certainly be invincible.”

The background music strangely turned into hahahahaha…
