Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 105: Exploring Martial Arts


Lin Qianxuan was initially a bit unfamiliar, with movements mechanical, but his learning ability was indeed strong.

After just repeating a few times, he immediately reached a level not worse than Gongsun Yue, even faster.

Then he began to attempt using other Divine Machine Arts, not just doing adhesives but also decomposing and reshaping some useless materials.

Gongsun Yue's expression grew more perplexed upon seeing this scene.

Questions filled her hollow eyes.

She guessed that Lin Qianxuan must have some secrets, but as he didn't mention them himself, she couldn't pursue the matter.

During Lin Qianxuan's process of repairing the Divine Machine, he gradually felt his Purple Mansion Divine Energy being rapidly consumed. Fortunately, he had just replenished four or five months of pure Divine Energy, so he wasn't lacking it.

This time, due to arriving earlier than expected, more rebel fighters survived, resulting in more equipment needing repair.

Lin Qianxuan estimated that even with so many in the workshop, they would need about five to six days to completely finish.

Soon, it was noon.

The old craftsmen left with their apprentices, while Gongsun Yue prepared lunch in the workshop, planning to eat there.

She usually stayed here to research and work, hence her kitchen was always equipped.

Not that she was particularly passionate about scientific research, her condition led her to choose recluse.

With her situation, going outside would easily invite criticism.

Even now, she restrained herself significantly out of respect for Gongsun Ying, but a mere disdainful glance was enough to discomfort the sensitive Gongsun Yue.

"Sir, take a break." Gongsun Yue brought the dishes, handing a set of bowls and chopsticks to Lin Qianxuan.

"Let's eat."

Lin Qianxuan summoned a stream of water to wash his hands before accepting the bowls and chopsticks, then started eating.

After a few bites, as if recalling something, he said, "I brought some food this time as well, try it."

With that, Lin Qianxuan took out two energy bars from his pocket and handed them to Gongsun Yue.

Meanwhile, he also took one himself, tore open the packaging and started eating.

Gongsun Yue accepted without hesitation, expressed thanks, and followed Lin Qianxuan in tearing the package and eating.

The energy bar was sweetly cloying, not particularly tasty.

Yet for Gongsun Yue, it was delightful.

Now that the world was tainted by murky Qi, nine out of ten savory foods were gone, sugar was precious, and energy bars were also a rarity.

Gongsun Yue planned not to eat it all but wanted to save one for her sister to try.

"How does the taste strike you, Miss Yue?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"Crisp texture, sweet taste, an excellent snack." Gongsun Yue replied.

"In our place, these aren't usually considered snacks, many dislike them. We have much tastier snacks over there. Unfortunately, not brought this time, if I could return, I'd invite everyone in the rebel army to try them." Lin Qianxuan said.

"What a wonderful world Mr. Lin comes from." Gongsun Yue smiled.

She had lived under the shadow of murky calamity since childhood.

Hard to imagine what kind of world Lin Qianxuan's place was truly like.

"Your place is great too, as long as the murky calamity is gone, it should develop quickly." Lin Qianxuan said.

"Hopefully..." Gongsun Yue replied.

The conversation turned heavy, leaving only the faint sound of eating.

After methodically finishing an energy bar, Gongsun Yue savored it, lip licking in reminiscence, but she kept the other one.

Seeing this, Lin Qianxuan spoke, "I've got several boxes of those energy bars, Miss Yue, no need to deliberately reserve one for Miss Ying. I'll gift you a box later."

"How could I accept that?" Gongsun Yue waved her hand.

"I said it's not precious." Lin Qianxuan said, "Besides, you've taken such care of me these two days, I'm unsure how to express my gratitude."

Gongsun Yue finally accepted with thanks, unable to refuse.

She looked at Lin Qianxuan, thinking he was peculiar.

Constantly exerting effort to help her and her sister, whether saving them, opening the Memory Ball, aiding in repairing the Divine Machine, or just snacks...

Yet he spoke as if he somehow benefitted.

Gongsun Yue's eyes appeared solemn gray, but she could perceive Lin Qianxuan's outline, mentally sketching him like a sketch drawing.

She wondered what kind of person Lin Qianxuan was?

What were the secrets on him really?

Lin Qianxuan seemed to notice Gongsun Yue's gaze, returning her a smile.

In the evening, work in the workshop temporarily ended.

Lin Qianxuan left the workshop, bringing Gongsun Yue a box of energy bars.

"Thank you, sir." Gongsun Yue replied with courtesy.

"Just a small favor, as long as you enjoy eating." Lin Qianxuan waved, "Since there's nothing more, I'll leave first, see you tomorrow."

After speaking, Lin Qianxuan turned and left.

Gongsun Yue stared at Lin Qianxuan's figure, slightly lost.

Unnoticed, her misty Destiny aura connection with his grew more stable.

The next morning, Lin Qianxuan arrived at the workshop early, enjoying breakfast with Gongsun Yue, then working together again.

His movements grew more proficient, overtaking Gongsun Yue.

Lin Qianxuan didn't care about Divine Energy at all, using it completely at will.

Gongsun Yue found it hard to believe.

She tried to save as much Divine Energy as possible to repair more Divine Machines.

But Lin Qianxuan seemed to ignore this for the sake of efficiency.

Yet his Divine Energy seemed inexhaustible, always so abundant.

In fact, Lin Qianxuan's energy wasn't endless; he only had about ten months' worth of Divine Energy in his body.

Not much, but the consumption for repairing Divine Machines wasn't high.

Plus, today's hasn't been used up, and tomorrow's Divine Energy will come again.

Once it reaches a certain level, his Purple Mansion won't be able to hold it, and it would be wasted if not used.

So after becoming proficient, he didn't worry about consumption anymore.

With Lin Qianxuan's help, the Divine Machines that were estimated to take five or six days to repair were completed by 8 PM the next day.

As a result, Lin Qianxuan even gained some favorability from Gongsun Yue.

Lin Qianxuan estimated that Gongsun Yue's favorability might be nearing twenty.

That's much easier than in the game.

After repairing the Divine Machines, there was temporarily no more work in the workshop.

Gongsun Yue told Lin Qianxuan he could take a break.

Lin Qianxuan certainly wasn't going to rest.

With the favorability grind paused on Gongsun Yue's side, he switched to Gongsun Ying's route.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Qianxuan went directly to Gongsun Ying's private martial arts arena.

Gongsun Ying was glowing with divine light, practicing her boxing.

Every punch she threw caused gusts of wind; if it landed on iron, it could instantly deform or even damage it.

When Gongsun Ying stopped, Lin Qianxuan clapped his hands.

"Miss Ying, your boxing is amazing," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Lin," Gongsun Ying smiled and bowed, "I heard from Yue'Er that you have been helping repair the Divine Machines in the workshop these past two days, making things much easier for Yue'Er and everyone. Thanks for your assistance, Master Lin."

"It's just a small effort, and besides, I've troubled you all a lot while I'm here, so no need to thank me, Miss Ying," Lin Qianxuan replied with a smile.

"So what brings Master Lin to me today?" Gongsun Ying asked.

"I happened to acquire a few Divine Martial arts and wanted to discuss them with you, Miss Ying," Lin Qianxuan said.

"That's no big deal, but which Divine Martial arts did you acquire, Master Lin?" Gongsun Ying nodded.

She thought Lin Qianxuan didn't understand them and came to her to ask for guidance.

But he only mentioned discussing because of face.

"Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash, Nine Heavens True Thunder Body Tempering Technique, Wuxiang Earth Fire Demon Suppression Skill..."

Lin Qianxuan named a few martial arts, causing a slight change in Gongsun Ying's expression.

If she remembered correctly, several of these martial arts were royal secrets.

Before Gongsun Ying could ask, Lin Qianxuan already began explaining the essentials of cultivating them.

"Let's start with the Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash. Its core mantra is Gathering Qi in the Weapon, Condense Qi into the Blade, Blade Follows the Will, Sword Follows the Heart....."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ying put aside her doubts and listened intently.

Lin Qianxuan quickly explained the practice method and techniques in a simple yet profound way.

"Miss Ying, have you got it all?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"I've remembered everything," Gongsun Ying nodded.

She was at least in the late stage of Divine Manifestation, so her memory was quite good.

"Then please, Miss Ying, teach me how to practice this Divine Martial art," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Sure, this Divine Martial art is not hard to learn. The primary technique involves compressing Divine Energy into Sword Qi for an attack. To make the Sword Qi refined, one needs to temper the acupoints and meridians the Divine Energy flows through....."

Gongsun Ying was indeed a martial arts genius, having encountered many Divine Martial arts, she quickly grasped the core points of this martial art.

Soon, after a few tries, Gongsun Ying lifted her hand and slashed downward, releasing a dark red Sword Qi that directly struck a distant iron pillar, leaving a sword mark.

She clearly held back, otherwise, the courtyard walls would be split, let alone the iron pillar.

Then Lin Qianxuan also tried, with a slight mental effort, his Purple Mansion Divine Energy easily infused into his right arm, then compressed and condensed into his palm.

The next moment, he lifted his hand and slashed down, releasing a Sword Qi just over a meter long, leaving a few-inch-deep mark on the distant iron pillar.

He also didn't use full force; Lin Qianxuan felt that he could further compress his internal Divine Energy, his spirit was strong enough, and his physical body could withstand the operation of compressed Divine Energy.

Theoretically, if his Divine Energy was abundant, he might only be slightly weaker than Gongsun Ying in her Bursting Qi state.

This is the advantage brought by a strong foundation.

No matter which new system he encountered, a strong foundation allowed Lin Qianxuan to quickly get started and excel.

Seeing Lin Qianxuan succeed on the first try, Gongsun Ying couldn't help but be distracted.

She could tell that Lin Qianxuan's movements were also quite unfamiliar, and he had just begun to try.

But while she had to try several times before succeeding, Lin Qianxuan succeeded in one go, showing his high perception.

As a result, Lin Qianxuan noticed the Misty Qi around Gongsun Ying connecting with him more.

He sighed in his heart, feeling that elder sisters are indeed easier to woo, and after discussing martial arts this time, her favorability might shoot above twenty percent.
