What do you want to do to me?
At that moment, Lin Xintong felt that mysterious feeling again; she felt her body start to burn up. Yi Yun’s punch had already hit her belly!
“Oh!?”
In quick response, Lin Xintong’s body rapidly retreated backwards. Her retreating speed was even faster than Yi Yun’s punch.
Although Yi Yun had managed to make contact with her body due to her moment of distraction, the moment she came to, Yi Yun could not keep up with her speed.
Yi Yun’s punch had clearly hit Lin Xintong’s body, but due to her quick retreat, she had not received the full brunt of the force. Yi Yun felt like he had punched a ball of cotton.
Yi Yun’s raised his brow. He had been beaten all night and finally managed to hit Lin Xintong once, but Lin Xintong had retreated so quickly, it was as if he had never hit her.
Yi Yun could not accept it. He did not want to let Lin Xintong retreat fully, so he charged forward forming his fists into a claw as he scratched forward.
This was the stance of “Tiger Claws Smite Rocks”. When Yi Yun issued the move, a tiger’s phantom image manifested from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi had formed behind him.
“Roar!”
The tiger roared as it pounced towards Lin Xintong. At that moment, Lin Xintong could even feel the wind brought forth from the tiger. This feeling was as if a real tiger was pouncing towards her.
“Huh!?”
Seeing the tiger phantom image, Lin Xintong was surprised. This act of surprise had made her footsteps slightly slower. With that, Yi Yun managed to grab the ribbon by her waist.
“Peng!”
The tiger phantom image exploded in front of Lin Xintong. At the same time, with a ripping sound, as she tried to attack and defend, Lin Xintong’s ribbon by her waist had been ripped open!
“You!”
Lin Xintong’s reactions were extremely quick. With a quick rotation, she was covered with Yuan Qi as she flew up to a pine tree.
As for that ribbon, it was left in Yi Yun’s hands.
“Oh…” Yi Yun froze.
Lin Xintong looked angrily at Yi Yun. Yi Yun looked at the ribbon in his hand and the Lin Xintong standing on the pine tree. The situation quickly turned awkward.
Actually it was no big deal having a ribbon torn off, but since the ribbon was located at Lin Xintong’s waist, it made Yi Yun feel awkward.
“I did not do it on purpose, besides…” Yi Yun innocently pointed to his right chest, which had been ripped apart by the wind generated by Lin Xintong’s palm.
Yi Yun’s meaning was clear. You tore my clothes and even revealed my skin, while I just pulled a strap of yours…
Of course, compared to Lin Xintong’s clothes, Yi Yun’s clothes were ugly.
Lin Xintong did not know to cry or laugh, but she did not pursue further. In her eyes, Yi Yun was just a child.
A twelve-year-old child naturally could not have any bad intentions.
Although the reason why Yi Yun could tear off her strap had to do with her being distracted, it was still impressive. It was because Yi Yun had managed to avoid her palm strike.
Lin Xintong was surprised that Yi Yun could progress so quickly from just a day’s fight.
She never gave Yi Yun pointers on his movements, and Yi Yun grasped them all by himself.
Yi Yun having managed to avoid her palm may sound simple, but it was hard to do in practice. It had a special name for it, known as, “Minute Subtlety”, by using the smallest of moves to avoid an enemy’s attack, one could reduce greatly the flaws in one’s movement. It could also allow one to stick closely to the enemy, and counterattack when the enemy’s move is almost done.
To be able to do this at twelve years old, Yi Yun would be considered quite a genius. Of course in terms of genius, it only referred to his perceptivity and his body’s coordination.
Besides…
The thing that made Lin Xintong most concerned about was the strange reaction within her meridian channels at that moment…
In this world, few people were born with Yin Meridians. Compounded with the fact that people with Yin Meridians were considered to have a terminal condition, these people could not live long. Commoners with the condition would usually die around the age of twenty; even in a martial family, few families would spend the resources needed to nurture a person with this terminal condition.
So there were very few records of Yin Meridians, just a few records that said something along the lines of “Yin Meridians are terminated meridians, without cure, without chance of practicing martial arts”. Lin Xintong was searching for a way to open up her Yin Meridians.
Now, although Yi Yun’s body had resulted in a mysterious phenomenon for Lin Xintong, she did not know what it meant.
“Yi Yun,” Lin Xintong softly spoke.
“Yes, Sister Goddess, what orders do you have?” Yi Yun appeared very obedient and his speech was sweet to the ears.
Lin Xintong descended from the pine tree, “The move, ‘Tiger Claws Smite Rocks’ that you used, formed a tiger phantom image from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi behind you, did you notice that?”
