I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 7

Chapter 7 - Disappointment

"I am indeed a cripple, I can't even practice any kind of cultivation technique!"

In this afternoon, Xiang Yun had already tried seven or eight cultivation techniques. With the little crown prince's memories, Xiang Yun naturally knew some basic cultivation knowledge, and the first step in cultivating it was naturally to comprehend 'Yun Li'!

This was a compulsory course for all cloud martial artists. Only by sensing the presence of cloud energy in the air would one be able to absorb it into their body for cultivation purposes.

The spirit root was the medium and bridge between the cloud power and the human body, and was also the key to absorbing the cloud power. Because there was no spirit root in Xiang Yun's body, it was just like a broken bridge in a river. He was truly unable to comprehend the cloud power between heaven and earth.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Xiang Yun had practically searched through all the several good entry-level cultivation techniques that the crown prince's residence had collected. There was actually no one that could cause him to be able to comprehend the existence of Cloud Power in Heaven and Earth.

On the contrary, the forceful meditative cultivation made him feel extremely exhausted. His brain became dizzy and sweat kept flowing down, soaking his luxurious robes.

At the side, Lin Wan'er saw the bitter, disappointed smile on Xiang Yun's pale face and could not help but feel a twinge of pain in her heart as she consoled him.

"Your Highness, the so called 'specialized in martial arts'. Although you are unable to cultivate martial arts, I believe the heavens have bestowed you with the ability to cultivate in other areas. In the future, you will definitely be able to achieve great things!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun's wry smile intensified, "Other abilities? Are you referring to your ability to steal the jade and steal the incense? Or are you referring to your ability to engage in prost.i.tution? Could it be that you can also accomplish this?"

"How could that be? Aren't you still able to read?"

Lin Wan'er had wanted to say that Xiang Yun could still read and write, learn the cla.s.sics, and perhaps become a great scholar in the future, but when she thought of how Xiang Yun had been directly driven out of the Orthodox Academy, she fell silent.

Seeing Lin Wan'er's expression, Xiang Yun shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Alright, Wan'er, you don't have to comfort me anymore. Looking at Lin Wan'er's expression, Xiang Yun shook his head and sighed," Alright, Wan'er, you don't have to comfort me anymore.

What Xiang Yun had said was right. In these past few years, the young crown prince had been acting unbridled and unbridled. He had been extremely temperamental towards his servants, causing many of them to suffer greatly.

Only his personal servant, Lin Wan'er, had been a beggar bought in the streets when Xiang Yun was young. Because she had been well-behaved and intelligent, she had always been by his side.

For all these years, no matter what had happened, she had always been by Xiang Yun's side, not complaining at all. Just because of this, Xiang Yun had regarded Lin Wan'er as one of his closest friends!

When Lin Wan'er heard Xiang Yun say that he was trash, she couldn't help but furrow her brows and say seriously, "Your Highness, no matter what you say or think, this servant believes that in the future, you'll definitely be able to accomplish something big!"

Looking at Lin Wan'er's serious expression, Xiang Yun felt it was a little funny. He was somewhat moved as he smiled bitterly, saying, "Alright, alright, alright. I've taken her advice. If I ever achieve anything in the future, I'll definitely reward you well!"

Seeing that Xiang Yun's expression had returned to normal and he was still in the mood to joke around with her, Lin Wan'er's delicate eyebrows relaxed slightly as she spoke in a soft tone.

"Your Highness, you've cultivated for the entire afternoon. I believe you're tired too. Why don't you rest for a while? I'll call you back when the servants prepare dinner."

Lin Wan'er was about to leave the room when she suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly stopped and said to Xiang Yun.

"Oh right, Crown Prince, in five days time, it will be the forty-fifth birthday of the prince. At that time, you will also be heading to Silver City to celebrate your birthday. In the next few days, you can go and don't run around. We will leave early in the morning."

"Prince's birthday?" Upon hearing Lin Wan'er's words, the image of a valiant looking middle-aged man appeared in Xiang Yun's mind.

This middle-aged man wore an awe-inspiring armor, exuding an aura akin to the deep abyss of the ocean. This middle-aged man wore awe-inspiring armor, with an aura similar to the deep abyss of the sea, as if he could hide the world with a wave of his hand.

Xiang Yun's brow creased as an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

"Crown Prince, don't tell me you've forgotten the prince's birthday? He's your father." Seeing the perplexed look on Xiang Yun's face, Lin Wan'er hurriedly reminded him.

"Hehe, father?" A hint of self-mockery appeared on Xiang Yun's face before he said to Lin Wan'er, "I understand. Wan'er, you can go down first. I want to rest for a while."

At this moment, Xiang Yun was indeed a little tired. He nodded and let Lin Wan'er out.

Afterwards, Xiang Yun had no time to think about it. Without taking off his shoes, he jumped onto the bed and slept soundly. After sleeping for about two hours, Lin Wan'er woke him up and ate dinner.

After dinner, Xiang Yun had the servants carry a pot of fragrant tea while he himself lay on his teacher's chair, sipping the top-grade Cloudy Peak Mountain's bright pearl tea in boredom, while occasionally sizing up the exquisite decorations around the crown prince's residence. Since he was currently unable to cultivate, he naturally could not find anything to do, so he could only pa.s.s the time here.

Xiang Yun sipped his tea leisurely like this, only to discover that Lin Wan'er was staring at him with wide, curious eyes. He couldn't help but feel it was a little strange as he asked, "Wan'er, why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, why don't you go out for a walk tonight?"

Xiang Yun waved his hand, saying, "Aiya, nevermind. There's nothing much to walk around for. It's better to just lie down and rest comfortably at home."

In Xiang Yun's previous life, his favorite time had been when he was lying on his grandfather's armchair, reading Jin Yong's martial arts novel. It was a pity that there were no novels by Jin Yong in this world.

However, when Lin Wan'er heard Xiang Yun's words, she revealed an even more astonished expression. She looked carefully at Xiang Yun's face, as if she was seeing him for the first time.

"Your Highness, didn't you have to spend the night outside every night before? Why are you staying here today?" Lin Wan'er stopped talking.

It was only when Xiang Yun heard these words that he remembered. Previously, this little crown prince had gone out almost every night, not for a stroll, but to visit the brothels of Qin Feng City. It would be a wonder if he could spend the night there, three to five days a month.

No wonder Lin Wan'er was so surprised when she heard that he wasn't going out for a stroll. Thinking up to this point, Xiang Yun couldn't help but curse the little crown prince in his heart, 'This fellow has such an unbridled l.u.s.t day and night. No wonder his body is crippled to such an extent!'

Although Xiang Yun was not a man that didn't like women, he still wouldn't go to look for a brothel or a brothel. Although his body was no longer pure, he was still a pure virgin in his heart.

Although he thought this in his heart, Xiang Yun could not act too differently in front of Lin Wan'er. Otherwise, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. The latter looked at Lin Wan'er and feigned a mischievous smile.

"It is said in this world that flowers don't smell of wild flowers. This prince has seen many wild flowers, and only then did he realize that flowers are actually the best flowers. I haven't even seen enough beauties like Wan'er to go to brothels and see those mediocre flowers, aren't you blind?"

Lin Wan'er was startled at first when she heard Xiang Yun's words, then a blush rose on her cheeks. She glared at Xiang Yun with embarra.s.sment and annoyance as she said, "Crown Prince, please don't joke with this servant. This servant is just a mere servant, not some great beauty."

This was the first time Xiang Yun had seen Lin Wan'er look so bashful. The latter's jade-like face, due to her shyness, had a touch of pink, her rosy red like a crystal lychee. Her well-rounded body, which was wrapped in a skirt, was like flowing water, full of elasticity.

"Wan'er, what I've said is true. You are truly a great beauty. If I were to face you everyday, I'm afraid I would be able to live longer. If I could be intimate with you, hehe …"

Xiang Yun smirked as he swept his gaze up and down Lin Wan'er's curvy figure.

"Prince, you, you're such a bad guy!" When Lin Wan'er heard Xiang Yun's provocative words and naked gaze, she could not help but burn with embarra.s.sment.

She wanted to berate him, but she wouldn't say anything to scold him. She could only cover her face and curse at the bad guy before turning around and running out of the door as if she was escaping!

Watching Lin Wan'er's slim figure disappear before his eyes, Xiang Yun's eyes were still a little hazy, sighing inwardly. This ancient woman was indeed conservative. In the modern era, these girls would all be talking about dirty jokes, even more so than he himself.

After teasing Lin Wan'er, Xiang Yun estimated that she would not reveal any flaws. Thus, he returned to his room, intending to rest.

Today, he had fainted twice and meditated for several hours in the afternoon. Although he had slept for two hours in the afternoon, he was still mentally exhausted. Thus, he decided to head back to his room to sleep.

Lying on the soft bed, feeling the silence brought about by the darkness, Xiang Yun's originally somewhat calm heart was stirred once more.

Thinking back to how he had cultivated seven or eight techniques in the afternoon without even being able to sense the shadow of Yun Li, Xiang Yun felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

The heavens had allowed him to travel to this world that possessed such a miraculous power, yet it had also resulted in him being born without a spirit root and being unable to cultivate.

Wasn't this the same as placing a gold mountain in front of him without any tools for him to mine and move it around? He could only look at it but not take it; he was torturing himself alive!

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what have I, Xiang Yun, done wrong? You want to make fun of me like this!" Xiang Yun's heart was filled with rage as he shouted loudly!

After about ten minutes or so, Xiang Yun's heart was still filled with unwillingness and complaint, but when an intense wave of tiredness washed over him like a tide, he was unable to think any further. He gathered his thoughts and fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, just as Xiang Yun felt that he had slept soundly, a peculiar voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Eight hours are up. Jin Yong has activated his system and the host has officially entered the system!"

Xiang Yun did not know why, but even though he had clearly slept so deeply, such a clear voice had actually appeared in his mind, and his mind seemed to be extremely clear, as if it had already completely awakened, his vision was still pitch-black.

What was even weirder was that Xiang Yun could not sense the existence of his own body. It was as if he was the consciousness of an intangible substance, in a pitch-black s.p.a.ce.

"Am I dreaming?" Xiang Yun guessed in his heart.

"He must be dreaming! I must have played too many games, even in my dreams. "

Back on Earth, Xiang Yun had been a fanatical gamer of the Jin Yong World. Back then, he had often dreamed of killing each other within the game, or of receiving some sort of miraculous reward.

At this moment, Xiang Yun was the same. In this world that he had come to, there was definitely no longer any computer games that he could play.

"Jinyong Wuxia System? What game is this? " Xiang Yun recalled the robotic voice he had just heard and could not help but think curiously that he had never heard of this game before.

Just as he was wondering, dense sounds rang out in his mind. Countless beams of light appeared in the originally pitch-black world. They shuttled through the dark s.p.a.ce like a dense meteor shower. It was truly a spectacular sight.

As the meteor shower streaked past, the mechanical voice resounded within Xiang Yun's mind once more!

"The host of the Jin Yong Wuxia system is now in position. Beginner lottery wheel starts!"
