No matter how despicable he may seem in the eyes of others, in Bidegla's eyes, he is simply his senior brother.
When his senior brother is in trouble, he cannot sit idly by, but what can he do when even the most experienced practitioners are at a loss? He is still in the early stages of external strength, even weaker than Stuart Buzer. It is presumptuous for him to ponder this issue now.
"You don't need to worry about my problems, junior brother. I have accepted my fate long ago. Now, you should focus on enhancing your own abilities. The sooner you reach internal strength, the sooner you can delve into the deeper aspects of practicing Xingyi Quan. I have unfulfilled dreams, and I hope you can help me realize them!" Stuart Buzer firmly patted Bidegla's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I will reach internal strength as soon as possible," Bidegla's face showed unwavering determination.
"Alright, take this book with you and practice whenever you have time. It will be beneficial for you," Stuart Buzer stood up, pushed open the office door, and walked out.
Indeed, since Bidegla began practicing, he had only relied on brute force. He had never encountered martial arts techniques. Watching Stuart Buzer's terrifying speed, he yearned for it deeply.
If he could possess such terrifying speed, wouldn't even bullets be unable to harm him?
With this thought in mind, Bidegla's eyes lit up as he grabbed the book and left for "Seeing Ghosts in Distress."
As a formal disciple of "Seeing Ghosts in Distress," he had to visit his master here, otherwise others might think he lacked respect for his teacher.
He knocked on the door of "Seeing Ghosts in Distress," but there was no response from inside. However, the door opened without a sound.
Glancing inside, Bidegla saw "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" meditating with closed eyes.
"You're here," "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" spoke calmly without opening his eyes.
"Yes," Bidegla nodded and entered the room.
"Take a seat wherever you like," "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" gestured towards Bidegla with his palm, and suddenly, a water cup flew directly towards Bidegla.
"Wow!" witnessing this scene, Bidegla couldn't help but curse silently in his heart.
Taking objects from a distance, was this a movie or something?
Looking around and seeing only the two of them in complete silence, Bidegla had to accept the fact that "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" was indeed able to manipulate objects from a distance.
This sudden display of ability made Bidegla realize the true extent of "Seeing Ghosts in Distress's" terrifying power, perhaps there was no one left in the world who could harm him.
"Don't be shocked. As long as you reach my level and emit true energy externally, you can achieve the same effect," "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" opened his eyes.
His eyes were remarkably clear and exuded a calming power that was different from the tranquility given by Jennie Laura to Bidegla.
The calmness from Jennie Laura was spiritual, while the one from "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" was soulful. Looking into his eyes, Bidegla felt his entire being become tranquil and undisturbed.
It took a full five minutes for Bidegla to awaken from that strange sensation, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.
A single gaze had completely affected his state of mind, more powerful than the most renowned hypnotist in the world.
"Well done. A normal person waking up under my gaze within an hour would be commendable, but to think you only took five minutes," "Seeing Ghosts in Distress" smiled for the first time.
His smile was warm, leaving Bidegla stunned. It was an unprecedented experience.
"Will he also smile? Has the world changed so much?" These thoughts flashed through Bidegla's mind.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
But it must be said, compared to his stern face, Bidegla preferred to see him smile. After all, a person who doesn't smile, standing next to him, would make people feel some panic. Bidegla was not willing to communicate with such a person from the bottom of his heart.
In this colorful world, it is better to communicate with people who have emotions and desires.
"Master, do you also smile?" Somehow, Bidegla blurted out this sentence, and as soon as the words fell, Bidegla covered his mouth, cursing himself for saying such a thing.
"Huh?" Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Gu Jianchou was stunned, and then made an inexplicable sound that was a mix of laughter and tears.
His precious apprentice was truly extraordinary.
As his gaze swept over Bidegla, he revealed a hint of relief and a smile. He could tell that Bidegla's body had almost recovered. Initially thin as a skeleton, the fact that he had recovered so quickly was quite remarkable.
Furthermore, Bidegla's true energy had also recovered almost completely, thoroughly consolidating his external strength.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before Bidegla reached the mid-stage of external strength, and eventually broke through to internal strength.
Compared to Stuart Buzer, Bidegla was very satisfactory in all aspects, which is why he had taken Bidegla as his disciple.
"Bidegla, since you have come today, I will spare you the hard work. Now, I have something to give you." With that, he took out a book from his embrace. It was made of modern paper and appeared to have several dozen pages.
Having just received a book from Stuart Buzer, to now receive another one, could there be another martial art technique inside?
Respectfully taking the book from Gu Jianchou's hand, Bidegla flipped through it and his mouth twitched slightly. This book contained the same Xingyiquan technique that he had just received.
"Master, I already have this book. Senior Brother Stuart Buzer gave me his copy." Bidegla wryly smiled as he took out the ancient-looking book.
"You already have it?" Upon hearing Bidegla's words, Gu Jianchou said, "Well, that's even better. Xingyiquan is very powerful. If you successfully practice it, it will greatly help your martial arts skills. Although our Divine Spirit Sect focuses on saving people, saving people also requires certain martial skills. Otherwise, one cannot save others and may end up dead. Now, are you ready to practice this?"
"I understand." Bidegla nodded and returned the modern book to Gu Jianchou. He had already witnessed the power of Xingyiquan, and of course, he wanted to practice it. However, it was not something that could be practiced overnight, it required careful consideration.
"Alright, I don't know if you have time now?" Suddenly, Gu Jianchou asked.
"Yes." Bidegla nodded, looking at his master with some confusion. He indeed had plenty of time now. The jewelry business had already taken off and didn't require much of his attention.
"Since you have time, then let's practice Xingyiquan now. I will guide you until you have finished practicing. It may take about a month."
"A month?" Bidegla was taken aback upon hearing Gu Jianchou's words.
"Practicing Xingyiquan is very troublesome, and a month is minimal. If you practice haphazardly, you may go astray and cause a reversal of true energy. By then, I won't be able to save you." Gu Jianchou spoke, not sounding like he was exaggerating. Having him as a guide was the best option, and Bidegla was willing. But a month was indeed too long, and he hesitated. However, thinking of the power of Xingyiquan, he eventually gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I will stay here for a month and focus on practicing Xingyiquan."
"Very well, you go to the top floor of the building first, and I will follow," Gu Jianchou said, then Bidegla did as before, forcibly pushing open the door with a gentle force.
With a hint of frustration on his face, Bidegla couldn't help shaking his head and scolding himself for not just walking out instead of forcing himself out.
After a month here, Bidegla called Jennie Laura to roughly explain the situation.
Although there was some reluctance in Jennie Laura's voice on the phone, she did not stop Bidegla, having already witnessed Gu Jianchou's methods.
Since Bidegla has already become Gu Jianchou's disciple, there should be no danger.
After making the call, Bidegla found Stuart Buzer and asked him to help protect Jennie Laura and the others before going to the top of the Xinyang Building.
The rooftop of the building was a huge platform, specially decorated with a rubber surface.
Gu Jianchou had been waiting here for a while and had already changed out of his ancient robe, now only wearing a cool shirt.
If one did not know him, they might mistake him for a friendly old man next door.
The weather had already turned cool, but he stood on the windy rooftop of the building, motionless, like a rock. His body appeared very old, but the majestic power contained within him made Bidegla feel awe, realizing that a hundred of himself would still not be a match for him.
"Take off your clothes," Gu Jianchou calmly instructed as he looked at Bidegla.
"Yes," Bidegla nodded and took off his expensive suit, carelessly throwing it on the ground.
"Continue to undress."
"Undress more?" Although Bidegla was reluctant, he followed his master's orders and took off his clothes, wondering if his master was a lunatic...
"Take off your pants," Gu Jianchou continued, almost causing Bidegla to stumble. He had already taken off his clothes, but now he had to take off his pants just to train?
"Master..." Bidegla hesitated.
"Undress!" Gu Jianchou's words were firm, carrying a hint of pressure.
"Alright," Bidegla nodded, reluctantly taking off his pants.
On such a cold day, standing in front of an old man wearing only boxer shorts was a sight that was hard to bear.
But because he had already achieved external strength, even wearing only boxer shorts, Bidegla did not feel the slightest bit of cold, as if he were wearing a coat, but only for symbolic purposes.
"Put these on," Gu Jianchou said, looking at Bidegla in his boxer shorts, and threw a pair of shorts at him without changing his expression.
"Phew," Bidegla let out a long breath, relieved that his dignity was still intact. It seemed he had overthought the situation.
