Martialism

Chapter 3

Yi Ping said to Shui Yixian, “Xian’Er, now that we are almost recovering from our injuries, we should leave the mountain and head south. There were many top exponents like Huo Fu who had gathered here. You are from the Eternal Ice Palace and your way home is no longer safe for you. If the boxers know that you are from the Eternal Ice Palace, they will not let you go.”

Shui Yixian exclaimed, “Do you really not know who I am?”

Yi Ping said, “You are from the Eternal Ice Palace and are the protege of the Emerald Lady.”

Shui Yixian sighed. It seemed like she really did not know that she was the Divine Mistress of the Eternal Ice Palace. But it's not surprising. Very few people in the martial fraternity knew his real name.

She asked, “Surely you've heard of the Celestial Fairy?”

Yi Ping smiled, “She is the Emerald Mistress of the Eternal Ice Palace. It was his brotherly name.”

Shui Yixian said, “The Heavenly Princess is me. I am a Heavenly Fairy!”

Yi Ping was surprised, “That's impossible. Xian’Er, you must be playing me, right?”

Shui Yixian was serious and she looked at him intently.

Yi Ping hugged him and said, “It doesn't matter who you are. You are you. That's what matters.”

Shui Yixian was touched as she flinched, “Yi Ping ..”

Yi Ping said, “Even if we die in the Heavenly Mountains, I will still follow you!”

Shui Yixian said lovingly, “The Eternal Ice Palace is famous for these three skills, Jade Icy Finger, Divine Emerald Skill and Frosty Icicle Swordplay. This skill doesn't suit you. Even though your internal strength is our sect's Icy Heaven Tear, it's no match for men. However I can teach you how to utilize your martial skills.”.

He had never met a famous master and most of his martial skills were taken off the streets and from fighting with thugs.

Shui Yixian explained the meaning behind the horses and taught him to look at the various martial blows in a different perspective. Even though it was only a few days, it was like a sudden enlightenment for him!

Shui Yixian was surprised at how quickly Yi Ping could absorb his teachings. He was diligent in studying and could train hard as he meditated on the Divine Emerald Skill.

Three days later, he was actually able to circulate his vital energy in his meridian channels and had fully regained his martial power.

At the end of three days, Yi Ping saw a rainbow circle on his head. He was astonished and asked, “Xian’Er, are you okay?”

Shui Yixian smiled and opened her eyes, “Ping’Er, don't worry. Not only have I fully regained my internal martial power, I have also discovered the tenth stage of the complicated formula of the Icy Heavenly Tears. I never dreamed that such a stage could exist. This crucial stage could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of the Divine Emerald Skill. The lord who abandoned this desire is definitely closely related to our sect.”

He got up and smashed the carvings on the wall with the strength of his palm. In a few moments, the carvings on the walls could not be recognized anymore!

Yi Ping asked, “Xian’Er, why are you doing that?”

Shui Yixian said, “This martial arts knowledge is too dangerous to leave behind especially with so many boxers around here. If it falls into the wrong hands, then it will be a disaster for the martial fraternity.”

Yi Ping nodded in agreement.
