My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 40 - 34: Practice

Chen Lusi flew out like a sandbag.

He was about to hit the ground hard.

But at the last moment.

Something caught him, slowing his fall.

Chen Lusi was able to land gently.

"Are you okay?"

Xiaoxiao, Wu You, and Xia Panqiu walked over.

"I’m fine... very impressive."

Chen Lusi patted his clothes, then stood up and looked at the mature woman not far away.

"This is a technique developed based on my Authority Ability. Whether in terms of release speed or scale, it’s incomparable to ordinary techniques. Besides, my heart has already condensed the ’Large Stone’."

Xiaoxiao pointed to her own chest, which was prominently arched, and explained, "I wanted to test your limit, but it seems it’s still not quite there... Although the bit of Spirit you have does have an effect, it’s far from interrupting a large technique."

"Indeed, compared to the Spirit you’ve released, the Spirit I condensed is merely a drop in the bucket."

Chen Lusi nodded, then glanced again at the mature woman in front of him.

Somewhat unbelievable.

Because it was really hard for him to imagine that such a vast amount of Spirit could exist within the woman in front of him.

"The Spirit that an Empowerer’s body can contain theoretically has no upper limit."

Xiaoxiao seemed to notice Chen Lusi’s confusion and explained, "After the heart condenses the core, it continues to absorb external Spirit and layers it over and over until it can accommodate a soul... During this process, the Spirit inside the body will increase exponentially."

"You’ve probably seen Lu Hao’s ’Stone’, right? That’s just the initial stage. Most High-tier Empowerers aren’t that weak. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need for the Celestial Strategy Mansion, and modern weapons would be more convenient with a single shot."

"I understand."

Chen Lusi had no voice in this; he didn’t even know what level the mature woman in front of him had cultivated to, so he just responded.

"Next, practice well, I can tell you’re still not very skilled."

Xiaoxiao instructed, then continued, "If you can skillfully apply this technique, it might cause a significant stir in the circle. If, as you advance, you can control Spirit faster and control more Spirit, you will be extremely strong, after all, the opponent might not even be able to use their techniques."

"Mm."

"Wu You, Little Panqiu, you’ll accompany Chen Lusi to practice during this period. How to deal with multiple enemies is also very important."

Xiaoxiao looked at Wu You and Xia Panqiu.

Wu You thought for a moment, approached Xiaoxiao, and talked to her about another way Chen Lusi could use the Spirit he gathered.

"..."

Xiaoxiao was slightly startled upon hearing this, then couldn’t help but look at Chen Lusi again, staring at him for a long time before saying, "Then just right, the three of you can progress together."

"Okay."

"Then I’ll go back and check on my daughter."

Xiaoxiao glanced at her watch and finally said, "By the way, my name is Si Yujie, not Xiaoxiao."

She introduced herself briefly, then reached out her hand to Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi shook hands with her.

Xiaoxiao smiled at him, then disappeared on the spot.

Outside.

Celestial Strategy Trading.

Xiaoxiao, or rather Si Yujie’s figure reappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the gourd and murmured to herself, "No one even knows what the Authority Ability is, just relying on the method of gathering Spirit attached to the Authority can achieve this kind of level? Secret weapon indeed..."

Saying this.

She paused, didn’t continue, but smiled gently, and turned to leave the conference room.

On the other side.

Inside the gourd.

Chen Lusi witnessed Si Yujie disappear on the spot, unable to say anything yet.

Wu You leaned over next to him, hooking his neck, happily saying, "Lusi, from now on you’ll be the core of our odd jobs team, advancing to assist Panqiu in attacks, retreating to assist me in disarming opponents. Let’s secretly practice for half a year and then amaze everyone!"

Chen Lusi turned his head and said, "I was just sent flying."

"Xiaoxiao isn’t an ordinary opponent, we won’t even need to deal with such adversaries, so what’s it to us? We’re here to impress opponents of the same level!"

Wu You didn’t mind at all, "Besides, how long have you been with Celestial Strategy? You’re already great, don’t belittle yourself. Just be able to skillfully use the ’Invisible Blade’ and this... by the way, what do you call your Interrupt Technique? Surely it can’t just be called Interrupt Technique, right?"

Chen Lusi was surprised, "Do I need to name it...? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"This is about a sense of ritual. Although it’s not possible to shout it during battle, at least let us know what it’s called, right? Otherwise, when we need your help during the battle, what should we say... release that technique?"

Wu You chuckled, "As for good ideas, I don’t have any, it’s your technique."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, and casually said, "Then let’s call it ’Dismantling’."

"Alright, good name."

Wu You praised him generously, and then said, "Then next, let’s practice here... practice the techniques, while also practicing the most basic hand-to-hand combat.

The techniques you know are great, but Dismantling cannot affect body-based techniques, which is a drawback. As far as I know, there are quite a few within Celestial Strategy focusing on body enhancement, and our boss Ah Yue is a representative.

You don’t have any relevant foundation, so I don’t expect you to train exceptionally well, but at least have some self-defense ability when facing melee... how about letting Panqiu teach you in this aspect? She’s much better at hand-to-hand combat than I am."

After listening to Wu You, Chen Lusi agreed with a nod.

Indeed.

Close combat is his weakness, even with the ’eye’, he doesn’t think he can handle multiple opponents attacking close at once.

This can be quite deadly at times.

However, he didn’t immediately agree, instead, he looked at Xia Panqiu, inquiring about her opinion.

"Is that okay?"

"Alright."

Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi who asked her and felt even more complicated.

She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Then it’s settled."

Wu You glanced at Xia Panqiu and then at Chen Lusi, finding it amusing, but didn’t say it out loud and instead said, "By the way, for safety and convenience in training, I suggest you move to Peng City, what do you think?"

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, asking, "... If I move to Peng City, is there a housing allowance?"

"Yes."

Wu You smiled, "Two-thirds allowance, but there are size requirements, and you can’t sublet, it can’t be too far from Celestial Strategy Trading. If you’re looking for a place, you can ask me or Panqiu to go with you, we can help you with suggestions."

"I’ll think about it."

Chen Lusi contemplated but did not immediately agree.

Wu You didn’t insist, releasing his neck and instead asked, "Alright, should we start training now?"

"Mm."

"What should we practice?"

"Let’s practice both close combat and techniques together."

Chen Lusi looked at Xia Panqiu, thought for a moment, and said, "If possible, I’d like to give it a try."
