They all want to change my future.

Chapter 53 Master

The two stood still in the arena.

Ji Baizhi raised an eyebrow as she watched Lin Yueyin's somewhat practiced movements: "Miss Lin, did you already see this beforehand?"

"No," Lin Yueyin said, lowering the tip of her spear. "It's just that I have a photographic memory."

To be able to inherit the Cheng Ying Sword at such a young age and become a grandmaster, Lin Yueyin is undoubtedly a genius.

Ji Baizhi nodded in understanding, and the atmosphere between the two became tense.

But Li Zhi, who was standing outside the room, seemed to remember something and spoke up first: "Since you have a photographic memory, give the book back to me. I haven't finished reading it yet."

Upon hearing this, Ji Baizhi felt somewhat helpless, but Lin Yueyin seemed not to have heard her and moved her gun.

She thrust out her spear without any fancy moves, yet it possessed the fierce and devastating aura of breaking through enemy lines on a battlefield. The spear whistled as it aimed straight for Ji Baizhi's chest.

The shot was fast, but Ji Baizhi kept her eyes on Lin Yueyin. She slightly turned her body, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and gracefully dodged the attack like a bird skimming the water.

That step was taken with extreme lightness and skill, just like the footwork in "The Step of the Startled Swan".

Lin Yueyin's spear thrusts continued relentlessly, sweeping, slashing, and thrusting back—all techniques recorded in the "Breaking Army Spear Manual."

Although she was a beginner, her profound understanding allowed her to execute the technique quite skillfully, with a fierce wind whistling through the air, causing the fallen leaves in the courtyard to flutter down.

Ji Baizhi never fought back, only using her "Amazing Steps" to maneuver around the enemy.

Her movements were nimble, and she would dodge the spear tip and the area in front of her in an instant. Her white figure moved freely in the wind of the spear, like a fleeting shadow, so beautiful that it was almost unreal.

Neither of them used any other moves.

Is it really that interesting to watch women fight?

Lin Yueyin's spear moved like a dragon, her black attire relentlessly pursuing him like a black dragon.

Ji Baizhi moved with the grace of flowing clouds, her white robes fluttering like a crane soaring through the heavens.

The interplay of pursuit and evasion, strength and gentleness, creates a unique and beautiful aesthetic.

Li Zhi watched the battle while pondering the situation.

Is it a problem with their appearance, or a problem with their tactics?

In the arena, Lin Yueyin suddenly changed her spear stance, delivering a swift straight thrust followed by a sudden backhand flick—the ultimate killing move in the Po Jun Spear Technique, "Returning Spear."

Ji Baizhi seemed to have anticipated this, her figure moving like a willow catkin in the wind, retreating three feet. The spear tip barely grazed past her clothes, failing to touch her.

Lin Yueyin sheathed her spear and shook her head: "Without the relevant true essence and without the Daoist rhythm, this spear technique is still lacking."

After saying that, she looked at Ji Baizhi: "This footwork technique is too obviously restrained."

Ji Baizhi stopped and nodded slightly: "Indeed, the restraint is remarkable. This 'Jinghong Step' seems to have been created specifically to counter this spear technique."

Lin Yueyin tossed the spear back onto the rack and said calmly, "The Po Jun Spear requires fierce strength. When a woman wields it, it ultimately lacks a bit of power."

To Li Zhi, these words sounded like an explanation for his family's actions, but he didn't pay them any mind and extended his hand to Lin Yueyin:

"In that case, can you return the book to me now?"

After Lin Yueyin read the book "The Breaking Army Spear Technique," she kept it in her hand. She didn't give it to Li Zhi when they were performing martial arts earlier, and no one knows where she put it.

Lin Yueyin didn't react, still acting as if she hadn't heard.

Seeing this, Ji Baizhi could only try to smooth things over: "Anyway, the young master isn't going to learn it, so let Miss Lin take it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueyin made a move. She threw out the book "Breaking Army Spear Technique" to Li Zhi, and then she herself disappeared.

Li Zhi took the book and shook his head: "The two of you really have a bad relationship."

She was so bad that she didn't want to accept any kindness from Ji Baizhi.

Ji Baizhi was also somewhat embarrassed, and she smiled wryly, "Miss Lin's personality is really..."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Li Zhi put away the "Breaking Army Spear Technique": "Continuing from what we were saying, from what you two are saying, the Swift Step completely counters the Breaking Army Spear, and, I watched you just now, your technique was indeed beautiful."

Looking good is important. The onlookers don't know much, but if you play well and stylishly, that's what matters.

People will naturally think you're amazing; besides, people are visual creatures.

One is carefree and unrestrained, the other is relentlessly pursuing.

If, at the end, that person makes some insightful comments.

Doesn't that create buzz?

It can be said that Qu Hongxiao was indeed a marketing master. She became famous in the capital and left behind the reputation of "Qu Hongxiao's fame is countless".

They definitely have some skills.

Ji Baizhi naturally thought of these things as well. She nodded and said, "Qu Hongxiao made a really good choice. However, it should be said that the technique itself is well-crafted, as it can dodge most of the fierce and domineering techniques."

"Yeah?"

Li Zhi still believed in Ji Baizhi's judgment; his question was not meant to refute or argue.

A mischievous smile played on his lips as he looked at Ji Baizhi: "I remember Miss Ji saying that this movement technique is similar to the one you learned, so..."

Ji Baizhi sighed softly and said directly, "Does Young Master mean that I'm praising myself?"

Li Zhi nodded frankly.

"Then let's say that."

Ji Baizhi raised her head with a hint of pride, "It is an honor for this technique to bear some resemblance to the movement techniques I have learned."

Phoenixes are inherently proud and confident.

Li Zhi clapped his hands and praised, "As expected of a phoenix! Now, can I learn what you've learned?"

"No, that won't work."

Ji Baizhi shook her head: "The movement technique I learned is something you, young master, cannot learn. That's why I said this movement technique is well-created."

Li Zhi frowned for a short while, and Ji Baizhi said no, which probably meant no, since she was very generous to herself.

It should be said that they were always responsive to requests.

If you say you can't do it, does it mean you can't learn it?

What are the differences between me and Ji Baizhi?

Li Zhi quickly realized what was going on and asked softly, "A phoenix reincarnation?"

"Young Master is indeed clever," Ji Baizhi replied softly. "I only realized this when I used it just now. This book, 'The Steps of the Startled Swan,' must have been created by dissecting the movement techniques from the Phoenix's heritage."

Li Zhi was silent. Does your game even have exclusive, limited-time features?

But what exactly is the Phoenix Legacy?

"Bloodline talent?" Li Zhi asked.

"No, there's no such magical thing."

Ji Baizhi further explained, "Young Master, have you forgotten what I told you about the classification of inheritance? The visualization diagram is an inheritance, and naturally there are many things involved in inheritance."

That's how it is.

Li Zhi suddenly realized, but then another question popped into his head: "Where did you get your visualization diagram?"

Ji Baizhi is the reincarnation of a phoenix. She said it wasn't through bloodline awakening, but through the inheritance of a visualization diagram.

Who gave her this picture?

"Of course it's my master," Ji Baizhi replied matter-of-factly. "Didn't I say that as long as my master returns, he will definitely choose a suitable visualization diagram for you, young master?"

Li Zhi fell silent again. "And who is this big shot as your master?"

It even has a visualization diagram of the Phoenix Inheritance, but does this visualization diagram really depend on physical talent?

Ji Baizhi didn't say anything further, but instead brought the topic back: "Young master, why don't you start practicing the Swift Steps now? I can teach you."

Is she unwilling to say it, or is she saying that I'll find out when her master returns, and there's no need to say anything?

That's true, it's pointless to say anything now.

It was just a bit of a hassle along the way.

Li Zhi once again took out the "Step of the Startled Swan" and stood side by side with Ji Baizhi in the courtyard.

She disassembled and demonstrated each move step by step, and he watched intently, moving in accordance with her movements.

Spring sunlight filters through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows across the courtyard.

The two taught and learned, their figures intertwined in the light and dust, creating an indescribable harmony.
