Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 614 - 617 Not So Great

If Liu Ergou can learn something just by glancing at it, then I've truly wasted all these years.

With that thought, Ning Hua spoke up, "Talk is cheap. Come on, perform a set for me. Let's see how much this 'gist' of yours is really worth!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou didn't hesitate and immediately performed a set of Erlang Fist.

After he finished the set, Ning Hua was struck silent.

Because Liu Ergou hadn't been lying. Just as he'd said, he had memorized the vast majority of the Erlang Fist. Aside from a few extremely complex parts that he performed poorly and a bit hesitantly, there were no other major issues.

This made Ning Hua begin to wonder. Could Liu Ergou be one of those legendary martial arts prodigies? The kind who can learn anything with a single glance?

After finishing the Erlang Fist, Liu Ergou wiped the sweat from his forehead. He wasn't tired, exactly. The Erlang Fist was just genuinely complex, and performing it was strenuous.

Looking at the silent Ning Hua, Liu Ergou asked, "Senior Sister, why are you so quiet? How did I do? Give me an evaluation!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Ning Hua finally snapped back to her senses.

She coughed, then said, "Not great. Anyone who knows what they're looking at can tell you're performing a fist art, but to anyone else, it just looks like you're dancing! You're a far cry from me when I was just starting out!"

Hearing Ning Hua say this, Liu Ergou's face fell.

I guess I'm just too stupid. If I'd known, I would have paid closer attention and tried to practice along.

Seeing Liu Ergou's dejected expression, Ning Hua actually felt a pang of sympathy. But when she recalled how he had treated her, that fleeting feeling vanished without a trace.

She looked at Liu Ergou again and said, "Alright, stop moping. It's useless. If you can't do it, you can't do it! But don't worry, you still have me. I'll spar with you, and you'll slowly learn to master the Erlang Fist in the heat of battle!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou was about to shout in agreement, but in the next second, he realized something was off about her words.

He immediately exclaimed, "Senior Sister, what did you say? What do you mean, I'll learn Erlang Fist in battle? I don't understand..."

Before Liu Ergou could finish his sentence, Ning Hua launched a flying kick straight at his head.

The attack was swift and sudden, though it was a bit slower than when she had struck him before. So, Liu Ergou managed to dodge it in the nick of time.

Dodging the kick, Liu Ergou immediately yelled, "Senior Sister, what are you doing? Why are you ambushing me!"

"Didn't you say..."

His words were cut off by her.

"Didn't I just say? You can learn the Erlang Fist through fighting! Come on!"

With a loud shout, Ning Hua went all out against Liu Ergou.

Consequently, Liu Ergou's cries of pain echoed throughout the mountain for the rest of the day, each wail more agonizing than the last. Intermingled with his screams were a couple of classic, national-level curses. As these curses are rather legendary, we won't describe them in detail here.

「A week passed in a flash.」

That morning, Liu Ergou came to the back of the mountain as usual and began sparring with Ning Hua again.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Ergou forced himself to calm down, then stamped his foot and charged at Ning Hua. His speed was startlingly fast, countless times faster than before.

But even moving this quickly, he still couldn't touch her.

Ning Hua nimbly dodged his attack and then swiftly kicked at his temple. A week ago, Liu Ergou would have certainly been hit, but after a week of special training, he had improved significantly. He was able to dodge her current attack with ease.

The two exchanged dozens of blows, with the fight only ending when Ning Hua sent Liu Ergou flying with a kick to the chest.

The battle thus came to an end.

Rubbing his chest, Liu Ergou walked up to Ning Hua and said with a helpless expression, "Senior Sister, can't you go a little easier on me? That kick really hurt! I felt like you were trying to kick my lungs out. It hurt like hell!"

Ning Hua listened with a perfectly straight face before replying, "If I go easy on you, I'd actually be harming you. You have to understand, Er Gou, this is all for your own good. In a real fight, you can't just ask your enemy to go easy on you, can you? Think about it. Isn't that right?"

After thinking it over, Liu Ergou realized she was right. He could ask her to hold back, but he couldn't ask his enemies to do the same. If Ning Hua went easy on him now, it could truly get him killed in the future.

Realizing this, Liu Ergou said, "Sigh, to think you were doing all this for my own good. It seems I've misunderstood you, Senior Sister!"

After saying this, Liu Ergou walked to the side, picked up his water bottle, and started chugging it.

However, what he didn't see was that as soon as he turned around, a mischievous smile appeared on Ning Hua's face.

That's right. Everything she had just said was a lie to tease him. The real reason she hit so hard was that he had annoyed her, and she felt he needed to be taught a proper lesson. In a normal sparring match, both sides hold back. As for Ning Hua, she wasn't holding back at all. Or rather, she was holding back the bare minimum.

Yet, as she smiled, her expression grew grave. Liu Ergou's progress over this single week had been astonishingly fast, far exceeding her expectations.

According to her predictions, Liu Ergou should have only been able to block a few of her moves after a week. But now, he could actually exchange dozens of blows with her. This level of improvement made Ning Hua feel ashamed of her own progress. But she couldn't say that out loud, so she could only bury her astonishment deep in her heart.

She was also curious. Just how fast can he improve? After another week, could he completely surpass me? Or at least fight me to a draw?

As Ning Hua was pondering these things, Liu Ergou finished his water and walked over to her.

He asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Senior Sister, so much has happened that I forgot to ask. That day, you told me about the cultivation realms. I know I'm in the Houtian Realm, but I'm curious, what realm are you in?"

Ning Hua didn't try to hide anything, answering straightforwardly, "Me? I'm at the late stage of Dark Jin, just one step away from reaching Huajin. At that time, not a feather could be added to me, nor a fly land on me! All impurities in my body would be expelled! Even if I stopped cultivating at that point, I could still live for a hundred and fifty or sixty years!"
