Level Up! Martial Technique
The One Now Called Qilin [6]
Yu Jian tightly clenched his punch. He strengthened the horses that were the foundation of his defense, his gaze sharply looking towards the front. On the other hand Li Jia came to Yu Jian with a wooden sword as if it was still sheathed beside his waist. He lowered his body as close as possible to the ground to reach the highest speed in a single leap.
Li Jia's leap left a crack in the ground that he was thrust upon. As he was about to reach Yu Jian, Li Jia pulled out a wooden sword from beside his upper collar body. In that split second Yu Jian managed to dodge the sword just a few millimeters away from his eyes. Yu Jian then twisted his body and gave a kick towards Li Jia.
“Sial!” said Li Jia
That kick broke the wooden sword that Li Jia had already strengthened with her Qi so much that it was stronger. To defeat Li Jia Yu Jian forced Li Jia into his realm of expertise.
A powerful punch struck the hand of Li Jia who was trying to protect his head. Without giving Li Jia a chance, Yu Jian approached Li Jia then gave a low kick to upset her balance. As he was about to fall Li Jia changed his gravity point and with a hand he pushed his body away.
“Alright! It's enough to get here!” Hao Chen gave a sign from outside the arena.
Yu Jian dal Li Jia both put away the sweat on their faces with their own clothes.
“Stop that habit, it makes the nodes difficult to remove.” protest Hao Chen.
“We are martial arts experts, dirty can not be lost from our clothes. Kan Yu Jian?” Li Jia glanced at Yu Jian.
“I agree with Li Jia. Isn't dirty clothes one of the risks of a martialist?” Yu Jian nodded.
“Stay it-”
Hao Chen's talk was cut off as the few martial disciples who were watching Yu Jian and Li Jia's fight fainted on the spot. The mouths of all those who fainted seemed to be foaming as if they had been poisoned.
“Hei hold! What's the matter?” Hao Chen embraced one of the fainted men.
Faintly Yu Jian, Hao Chen, and Li Jia heard a whisper. The whisper came from the direction of the path that became the entrance to reach the training arena. As the three looked at that direction, Yi Wei with long hair tangled everywhere while grasping the tanama sprinkler.
“Hey... Wasn't yesterday your turn to water the plants? Why did my plants die today. Hey.. Didn't I tell you that my plants have to be watered every day or they die. Didn't you say you wanted to help me? Why are you making it difficult for me now? These are all plants that I have developed. Hey..”
Yi Wei came with a hoarse voice. His poison qi seeped out from being too emotional. Because the characteristics of the poison Qi were different from the Qi in general making it able to poison the air around it.
“Yi Wei! Is your body all right?! This much poison qi must have made you sa-” Yu Jian approached Yi Wei while touching his hand.
Coming in with a state of worry, Yu Jian found his face hit by Yi Wei using a plant sprinkler. Not stopping there, Yi Wei repeatedly swung the thing so Yu Jian jumped back into the arena.
“Don't run away.” from behind his mask Yi Wei showed a sharp gaze.
“Please recollect Yi WEi, your Qi is doing a lot right now. This can be dangerous for everyone.” Hao Chen tried to calm Yi Wei down.
“Not dangerous for Yu Jian.” Yi Wei directed the sprinkler to Yu Jian.
“Hao Chen protect me.” Yu Jian tried to take refuge in Hao Chen.
“I still want to live.” Reply Hao Chen.
“Then I just. I always wanted to fight with Yi Wei.”
Li Jia walked up to Yi Wei, but her steps came to a halt as Yu Jian pulled Li Jia's hair towards her and then held her hand.
“Cannot! Anyone besides you!”
As Yu Jian tried his hardest to hold Li Jia's hand against approaching Yi Wei, but a few seconds later Li Jia seemed to lose her strength and fell down and was hugged by Yu Jian before touching the floor.
“Li Jia you're ken-Hah?” Hao Chen was surprised.
Li Jia's mouth seemed to be emitting foam. He was exposed to the poison Qi aura belonging to Yi Wei which accidentally stuck to Yu Jian's hand.
“You must be kidding, it's not even a direct touch.” Yu Jian was surprised.
Before Yu Jian could say anything more his gaze was already covered by the plant sprinkler that violently smashed into his face.

“My stomach feels nauseous.” Li Jia limp.
While laying his head on Yu Jian's lap, Li Jia felt the surroundings as if they were circling. Meanwhile Yu Jian held onto the hands of Yi Wei and Li Jia to channel his Qi to suppress the rising poison Qi of Yi Wei and get rid of the poison Qi of Li Jia.
Behind Yu Jian looked at Hao Chen who had been busy going back and forth to the sect doctor place to treat the poisoned people. Yu Jian's Qi wasn't enough to be able to heal everyone.
“So, why did you call us here?” Yi Wei had calmed down.
“The two sects know that I have reached the realm of master. As he knew I had a strange talent in martial arts he asked me to test the trials on you guys whether it would have the same effect.” explains Yu Jian.
He was endlessly streaming his Qi to Li Jia and Yi Wei. Now that his Qi was only a quarter left, it made him unsure if he could teach them once he was done with Yi Wei and Li Jia.
“Is that? Interesting too, when do we start?” Hao Chen was curious.
“I think we can start now. Before that, why are you here?” Yu Jian glanced at the guest he had not invited.
“I? Don't mind me, I just want to see you teach.” Li Yating sat next to Yu Jian.
“Where do you know that information?”
“I accidentally heard my master's conversation. So I'm here to join.” reply while crossing his arms on his chest.
Yu Jian looked at the sky like he was thinking of something deep. Yu Jian could only tilt his head while pinching Li Jia's head to immediately get up from his lap.
“About half the reason I think. Yes anyway knowing how your martial arts work is quite interesting.” reply Li Yating.
“What does half mean? Why bring me in anyway?” Yi Wei was curious.
Yu Jian turned to tilt his head while looking at Yi Wei. He even turned to look at Li Yating. Li Yating could only nod her head while putting on a flat expression.
“This is a man's secret.” replied Li Yating.
A secret? Everyone even knows you have feelings for Yi Wei.
Despite thinking and knowing that inwardly, Yu Jian felt as if something was making him feel uncomfortable. In the end Yu Jian tried to ignore that and immediately started teaching his friends that.
Yu Jian taught Yi Wei how to organize the Qi pool so that he could regulate his poison Qi. For Li Jia and Hao Chen who had more than one body lightening technique was given the way Yu Jian modified the technique. As for the uninvited guest Li Yating, Yu Jian taught him the Qi flow technique of one body part because it had one Qi strengthening technique.
“Qi flow technique one body part? I never saw you use it.” asked Yi Wei.
“I only used it a few times. The Qi flow technique of one part of the body I discovered while still having difficulty using the ikazuchi. So in order to suppress the side effects that made my body ache and numb, I only used that technique on one part of the body that I wanted to use to attack or move quickly.” explained Yu Jian
Yu Jian also practiced some of his ways directly to them. With the Qi he had already recovered a little thanks to Li Yating, Yu Jian explained carefully. But everyone seemed to be tilting their heads, scratching them, even deciding to sleep. After that Yu Jian decided to leave it to them to practice it directly.
Hour after hour has passed. The sun that was above his head earlier had now set. The moon was directly overhead, and the darkness of the night devoured the valley. There was only illuminated by some candles and moonlight, the coldness of the sect at night was enough to pierce the skin of those who were awake outside, especially Li Jia and her clothes. Hao Chen decided to use the robe he had brought before for Li Jia.
After a long time everyone seemed to be lying on the ground, except for Yi Wei who decided to walk in the arena due to tired of meditating.
“Yu Jian, I want to ask.” Yi Wei approached Yu Jian.
“What is it?” Yu Jian turned around.
“What is Ning... Ning... Ning..?” asked Yi Wei.
“I also want to ask. What is Wis... Wus... Shing..?” hao Chen asked as he stroked the head of Li Jia who was asleep on his lap.
“Then I joined too. What is Trzzt.... Trzzt...? Is that your explanation for the sensation of Qi or lightning that usually surrounds you?” Li Yating asked.
“...”
Yu Jian did not answer their questions. He recalled how he explained the technique he used to them. He felt that his explanation was quite detailed and clear. Even so, from the results obtained by the three are inversely proportional to the initial estimate.

Huh huh? Don't I have until midnight? How can I be declared a failure when my own system says I still have 37 minutes?! Yu Jian was upset in his heart.
[Mission Failed]
[Users Have No Talent in Explaining Something]
“Oke at this point I feel I am an untalented being teaching others” Yu Jian resignedly accepted his condition.
“So we can come back?” Li Yating asked in an annoyed tone.
“I send it to my seniors who want to return to his place.”
In the end Yu Jian failed to acquire new techniques and taught his friends his techniques. All of them chose to return to their respective places while Hao Chen had to escort Li Jia who was still asleep like a dead person.

“How is the joint exercise with Yu Jian?” ask the sect leader.
“I don't join them, just monitor from a distance only. At least I monitored to the point where Yui Jian explained the technique.” Xian Yu replied
“It's a shame then, I thought you'd be able to learn new things.”
The sect master walked towards the window while gazing down at the valley of the sect he led. There were some lights from the candles adorning the valley of the sect like several stars adorning the vastness of the night sky.
“Sadly that's impossible. Yu Jian, I admit he is very talented. So talented he has a way of explaining that only certain people know.” explained Xian Yu.
“What are you saying this... is in the realm of good or bad?” the sect leader was curious.
“Bad, very bad. Up to the stage where I felt that no one in the world would understand the meaning of wush... ning.. and trrrz...” Xian Yu smiled lightly.
“Is that? At least he tried. I guess I will call him tomorrow, you may return now.” Sect chief allows Xian Yu to return
“Good master.” Xian Yu left the room.
