Chương 4: War God — Chapter 4 - School Beauty Ye, You Wouldn't Want Tomorrow

Ye Miyue froze at those words, her mouth falling slightly open. She thought it over, then nodded lightly. Yeah, that made sense. She silently picked up the stockings and walked into the bathroom. When she came back out, Wang Xian saw a pair of impossibly long legs wrapped in black silk walking toward him. A magnificent sight, truly rare in this world. The only pity was it wasn't paired with a short skirt. Wang Xian lay face-down on the bed again, revealing a well-proportioned and solid back.

"Same spots as before."

"This time use Stance Training. Hunyuan Stance."

"Ever practiced it?"

"Mm... not very familiar..." Hearing that answer, Wang Xian wasn't particularly surprised. Stance Training is the foundation of Old Martial Arts. Though Old Martial Arts is gradually being phased out by the times, some of its essence has still been preserved. Stance Training is one of those essentials. Basically, after Life Force aptitude is tested upon school enrollment, students are all taught Stance Training. The purpose is just to help students strengthen their bodies.

But in this era, the New Martial Arts wave rolls in relentlessly, and most students don't take Stance Training seriously. As long as you awaken your Martial Arts Talent and grasp Transcendent Power, the rest isn't that important. Just like that Civilian Fitness Boxing set from before. But in reality, whether it's Hunyuan Stance or Fitness Boxing, both are essences the nation spent decades extracting from the Old Martial Arts system. How could they be that simple?

In his later life, Wang Xian practiced this Hunyuan Stance day after day until he reached the Seventh Realm and became an Old Martial Arts Grandmaster. Later, he researched it extensively with many New Martial Arts powerhouses. Through his own improvements and discoveries, he found that this Stance Training, if combined with certain breathing cultivation, could greatly enhance the foundation and potential of New Martial Arts warriors. At the time, that was considered a cross-era initiative.

Afterwards, it underwent over a decade of verification. It wasn't until Wang Xian had fought for many years on the Alien Star Battlefield that it was finally confirmed. Ultimately, the Five Martial Arts Committees of the Dragon Country's Supreme Administration finalized it and named it the 'Hunyuan Breathing Method.' A foundational cultivation method that fuses Old Martial Arts Stance Training and the New Martial Gene Breathing Method. It's just that all of that would happen a full 60-year cycle later.

The pity is, Wang Xian never got to see this breathing method promoted before he himself was gone.

"Stand properly, stand steady, stand correctly. The three essentials of Stance Training, and you've managed to miss every single one." Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Wang Xian glanced back.

"School Beauty Ye, aren't you supposed to be a top student? Your Stance Training isn't looking too great. You can't even stand steady. How are you going to use your feet to step... massage me?"

"..." Ye Miyue said nothing. There was no defiance in her eyes, even a hint of shame. In truth, she was already standing quite well. That 'well' was relative to the other students at school. To the current Wang Xian, it was far too lacking. With a single glance, nothing met the standard.

"Drop both shoulders another finger-width. If your hands have no strength, press your palms together and keep them close to your sides."

"Don't keep your feet too close together. Open them up a bit more!"

"..." Wang Xian pointed out fault after fault. Before long, Ye Miyue in her black stockings began to set her stance, her whole body taut like a bowstring. Her originally loose long pants immediately tightened, tracing out the perfect curves of her legs as if sketched by an artist. A few minutes passed.

"Lift one foot, let's see." Ye Miyue lifted one foot at the sound. Her lower body stayed steady enough, but her upper body had already lost its center of gravity and began to sway slightly. In Wang Xian's line of sight, two rabbits suddenly appeared and started bouncing lightly.

"Your Stance Training still needs work. If there were a Proficiency meter, you'd be at about 100/50 entry level." Wang Xian stared while giving corrections. She had only been standing in stance for less than 10 minutes, and her feet were already trembling lightly. Ye Miyue was talked into lowering her head, even the rims of her ears turning red.

"Alright, now breathe in and out the way I tell you."

"Listen carefully. Enter the heart to move qi, use qi to circulate the body, drum up strength, sink the palace like the sea, empty the sea of consciousness..." The Hunyuan Breathing Method was only about 100 words in mnemonic form. It sounded ordinary enough, but without someone to analyze it, fully mastering it was no easy task. Only when one could operate it freely in 'walking, standing, sitting, lying' could it be considered a notable achievement. Wang Xian analyzed it word by word.

With Ye Miyue being clever herself, in less than half an hour she had already grasped about 70 to 80 percent. With this cultivation method, Ye Miyue's stance posture visibly steadied, and even her overall bearing was noticeably better than before.

"You've adapted enough. You can start the massage now." Wang Xian yawned. After teaching for so long, it was time to enjoy himself. The teaching wasn't wasted. Ye Miyue stepped very seriously with her feet, especially the earnest and solemn expression in her eyes. It was hard to imagine she was now wearing stockings and massaging a man with her feet. That look of using an utterly proper expression while doing something utterly improper. Pure and yet seductive at once.

"If it were that Little Green Tea Chen Yuting, she'd probably..." Wang Xian's mind unconsciously conjured another figure. He glanced at the time. Seeing Ye Miyue's so-serious demeanor, an idea stirred in Wang Xian's heart. Just as Ye Miyue's next footstep descended, Wang Xian shifted his body slightly to the side. The toes coated in nutritional lubricant lost their aim and stepped into empty air. THUMP! Losing her center of gravity, Ye Miyue instantly toppled over, plopping down onto Wang Xian's back.

In that instant, Wang Xian felt as if his body had been struck by jelly, bouncing several times all over.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!" Wang Xian immediately turned his head to look at Ye Miyue, whose face was now full of shame and panic, and demanded, "My uncle's martial arts hall is a legitimate massage parlor! What's the meaning of this?"

"Trying to seduce me, huh?"

"I wasn't..." Ye Miyue, her face flushed with shame, hurriedly waved her hands.

"Then get off already. You trying to take advantage of me?"

"..." Ye Miyue scrambled to her feet, but the frustration made her eyes glisten with a layer of moisture.

"Time's up." After saying this, she flexed her foot, indicating that this time her feet had no strength left either. Wang Xian let out an 'oh', his gaze falling behind Ye Miyue. The latter seemed to sense something. In a fluster, she covered her buttocks with both hands, shook her head with an extremely resolute look in her eyes, and even turned to leave without looking back. Her heart was set on quitting this part-time job and never coming back again.

Wang Xian, however, seemed to see right through her inner thoughts.

"Thinking of just leaving like that?"

"What more do you want?" Ye Miyue stopped in her tracks, her voice lowering. Wang Xian had also dressed by now. He smiled faintly and pulled out a card from his pocket.

"There's 30, 000 in here." Ye Miyue froze, then shook her head.

"I don't want it."

"Are you crazy? You think I'm giving it to you? I want to get a membership." Wang Xian laughed.

"You come here every week on your days off. 1, 000 tip per session. After 30 sessions, this money will be yours, earned by your own labor."

"I still don't..."

"Think carefully." Wang Xian took out his phone and casually pulled up the school's official campus forum.

"School Beauty Ye, you wouldn't want 'relevant news' about you appearing on the school forum's front page tomorrow, would you?" Ye Miyue felt her scalp itch. She scratched her forehead with her hand, a mix of shame and anger.

"That's too long!" Hearing this, a perfectly 'bad-boy' smile surfaced on Wang Xian's face.

"If you want to get this money through other, faster means... that's not impossible either." His gaze swept up and down.
