Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 5: Huang Rong: I'll call you Master, you call me Teacher, let's each address each

Li Ping didn't sleep well all night.

He was pondering how to bring up the topic of learning martial arts with Huang Rong.

I don't know if it's possible to become an apprentice directly.

He wouldn't mind taking a young girl as his master, but he was afraid Huang Rong wouldn't accept him.

After all, the importance that people in this world place on martial arts is beyond his imagination as a modern person. He and Huang Rong have only just met, and their relationship should not have reached that point yet.

But if I miss this opportunity, when will I be able to connect with a master of internal martial arts again?

"Or, how about we go straight to the point?!"

Just then, Li Ping smelled a pleasant fragrance. He realized it was getting late, so he immediately got up to wash up and saw Huang Rong busy in the kitchen.

I cooked for myself last night, and Huang Rong cooked for me this morning.

Hmm, that's a really nice roommate...

"Brother Li, you're up!? I made shrimp and crab congee today, I wonder if it suits your taste?"

Huang Rong brought a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Li Ping.

"Thank you..."

Li Ping took a sip, then raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "It's really delicious!"

Li Ping loves to eat and is very good at it. He can talk a lot about other foods, but seafood is an exception.

Because his hometown only has mountains and no sea, he only knew that the porridge was delicious, but he couldn't say exactly how delicious it was.

Huang Rong chuckled and said, "The crabs and shrimp were just caught by me in the sea, so they're especially fresh..."

"When I was catching crabs, I saw a rock roll into the sea, which reminded me of what you told me yesterday about the inertia of everything."

"I just can't understand it."

"If everything tends to stay in its original state due to inertia when there is no external force, then why do everything fall to the ground?"

"Is there some kind of force exerted by the ground?"

"But I didn't feel anything!"

Li Ping laughed and said, "Of course you feel it, it's just that you feel it all the time, so you've gotten used to it!"

"Think about it from another angle: isn't there always a suction force from the ground pulling your feet towards the ground?"

"You have to exert force to lift anything, otherwise it will be sucked to the ground?"

Huang Rong was stunned for a long time, then shook her head and said, "It's like entering a room full of orchids; after a while, you no longer notice the fragrance. A single leaf can block your view of Mount Tai!"

"But if that's the case, shouldn't the sun, moon, and stars in the sky fall to the ground?"

Li Ping picked up a pebble and threw it forward. The pebble flew five or six meters away. He threw another pebble, which flew more than ten meters away, and said, "The harder I throw, the farther the pebble flies, right?"

Huang Rong nodded.

Li Ping asked, "If my power were immense, extremely immense, like infinitely immense, what would happen to this pebble?"

Huang Rong's eyes widened as she began a thought experiment, then exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that we've been flying close to the ground the whole time...?"

This answer is very counterintuitive, but following this line of reasoning, it seems to be an inevitable phenomenon.

But what does it have to do with the sun and the moon?

Li Ping continued, "The earth is a giant sphere, as are the moon and the sun, only the moon is smaller and the sun is larger!"

"The moon revolves around the earth, and the earth revolves around the sun..."

"The moon is like a stone thrown from the earth; because it's going so fast, it keeps orbiting the earth."

"The earth is similar to the sun!"

Huang Rong was stunned, and it took her a long time to sort out her thoughts. Then, comparing them with her own astronomical knowledge, she immediately believed it: "So Zhang Heng's 'Theory of the Celestial Sphere' is more accurate than the theory of a round heaven and a square earth?"

"Brother Li is truly a learned man. I have a request..."

Li Ping said, "Go ahead."

Huang Rong immediately knelt down at Li Ping's feet: "Teacher, please accept me as your student. I want to study physics with you..."

Li Ping was stunned; he hadn't expected Huang Rong to be even more direct than him.

He coughed lightly and said, "Please stand up and speak first..."

Huang Rong stood up happily: "Teacher, you've agreed?"

Now, Li Ping felt no longer embarrassed. He said, "Actually, I also have a favor to ask. I would like to ask Miss Huang to teach me martial arts, especially internal energy cultivation techniques..."

The room fell silent. The two stared at each other blankly once again, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

After a long while, Huang Rong chuckled: "This is extremely interesting! No problem, you teach me physics, and I'll teach you martial arts."

"You are my teacher, and I am your master... This is not a fair comparison."

"From now on, Brother Li, you can call me Rong'er!"

"Brother Li has already explained so much physics to me, so I'll tell you about the martial arts techniques of Peach Blossom Island..."

Li Ping hissed, "Since you want me to call you Rong'er, then you can just call me Li Ping. That sounds better."

"Is it true that the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island can be said casually?"

"If your dad finds out, he might break my legs."

Huang Rong snorted: "Physics is such a profound subject, yet he's given a few lousy martial arts techniques in exchange. What right does he have to say I made the wrong choice?"

"Don't worry, no matter where you look at it, I'm in the right."

Li Ping was silent for a moment, then looked at Huang Rong: "Your father... doesn't seem to be a reasonable person!"

Huang Rong was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she said, "Then, I'll teach you the 'Sea Tide Technique.' It's not a martial art from Peach Blossom Island, but it's very effective for building a foundation. Later, when we find my father, I'll teach you other techniques!"

"He'll definitely have nothing to say!"

"Listen to the formula first."

"Breathe in and out like a surging tide, focus your mind on the center of your body, let your Qi flow through your meridians, and let your blood follow your Qi..."

"The golden crow sets and the jade rabbit rises, traversing the Niwan Palace, passing the Chonglou Tower, and arriving at the Crimson Palace..."

Huang Rong recited the incantation once, and then explained to Li Ping what guarding the mind meant, how to circulate qi, and even taught him to recognize the acupoints on his body from the beginning.

The former is easy to understand, but the latter requires Huang Rong to "point fingers" at Li Ping.

In this era, men and women were supposed to keep their distance, but Huang Yaoshi defied convention, and Huang Rong naturally didn't care.

Li Ping didn't care at all; he didn't think that Huang Rong touching him with her finger constituted any "intimate relationship."

After this lesson, Li Ping finally gained a comprehensive understanding of internal energy cultivation techniques...

The next day, Li Ping began studying the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual"...

With Huang Rong's guidance, he no longer found reading the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual" as a mystery.

So he prepared to practice the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual"...

Of course, self-castration is not permitted.

He knew that if one did not castrate oneself to practice the "Evil-Repelling Sword Manual," one would be prone to demonic possession and go astray.

But he can rewind his own time, so what is he afraid of?

Try a few more times, and you might just find the trick.

He knew he was only of average appearance and too old. If he practiced martial arts step by step, he might never be able to surpass someone like Linghu Chong, even if he trained for a lifetime.

Therefore, we must take an unconventional approach!

Let's do it!

……

Holy crap...

Li Ping felt a tightness in his chest, as if he were about to vomit blood. He felt extremely uncomfortable and then recalled the past of his life.

He wiped his mouth; it really wouldn't work...

Li Ping had originally thought that since he lived in the modern world and had seen so many different kinds of learning materials from various teachers, he had long since reached a point of indifference...

Even if those eunuchs were cut off, they still had jade thoughts. Didn't they also have affairs with palace maids? Yet they could practice the "Sunflower Manual".

Therefore, I should be able to withstand it.

As a result, it didn't work at all...
