I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 100: 100. "Eaves Dragon Pile" and Firearms

Lu Yao knew that Liao Qe was referring to the matter of gold.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head, "Senior Sister can't keep secrets, and she might end up sleeping with the Commandery Princess tonight. Better wait until we get back to the boxing gym to talk about it."

Liao Qe nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's a matter of great importance, we absolutely can't let any information leak."

"What exactly is it?" Liao Ya, with eyes like autumn waters, looked somewhat puzzled.

Liao Qe said with a smile, "Lu Yao has something good, but for now, we can't tell you~ I'm afraid it might frighten you~"

"How could I possibly be scared..." She ruffled her younger sister's head and didn't think much of it.

It was likely something delicious, fun, or a weapon; in any case, the junior brother wouldn't leave her out.

She took out the "Eaves Dragon Pile" from the Hailong Gang, saying, "I've already mastered this technique, it's just right to teach it to you two."

"So soon?"

"It's not difficult, it's just about imitating the way an eave dragon uses its muscles and bones to generate force."

This is the advantage of having an "academic bully" in the same sect, there's always someone to teach you hand-in-hand if you encounter something difficult.

Lu Yao only needed to wait for the girl to use her delicate little hands to draw the key points of force exertion on his body, and then he could control his body with Spirit Refinement to learn.

"Eave dragon" is actually a gecko, and "Eaves Dragon Pile" frankly is about imitating a four-legged snake.

This Kung Fu wasn't considered presentable in the past, because it was truly unsightly in a fight. While others stood erect with spears or proudly wielded swords, you'd be crawling and rolling on the ground, with an appeal that was negative.

Later, when Firearms appeared, everyone suddenly realized—the ones practicing this Kung Fu were only about a foot high while lying on the ground, moving as though they were flying close to it, making it very hard for Firearms to hit them.

Moreover, when cannonballs were incoming, if you were lying down, you could also avoid the blast wave and shrapnel.

Consequently, "Eaves Dragon Pile" became a sought-after technique, with countless people wanting to acquire this Secret Manual, and the sects that already had it were desperately keeping it secret, preventing it from being leaked.

Liao Ya advised, "In the initial phase, you can run on the ground like a four-legged snake, and once you reach a certain level of proficiency, you can move freely on walls."

Lu Yao was the first to master it, swaying his waist and using his hands and feet together to transform into a four-legged snake, darting around the yard so fast that only streaks of shadows remained.

"Hahaha, indeed, four legs are much faster than two~"

Lu Yao found it very amusing as he ran, leaving afterimages all around the yard. He even occasionally dashed next to Liao Qe, playfully biting her leg, causing her to scream in surprise.

Having learned "Eaves Dragon Pile" and played around for a while, it was already the afternoon.

At this time, Li Pei returned by carriage.

Seeing Lu Yao's antics, she knew what he was up to.

She took off her coat and called out, "Eaves Dragon Pile"? Watch this."

Finished speaking, she lay on the ground, belly up, activated "Eaves Dragon Pile", and even pulled out two Shotguns, managing to slide up the wall like that.

"This skill can be used to move quickly while shooting."

Lu Yao nodded in agreement, trying it out for himself, but unfortunately, without using his hands, his speed decreased significantly, and more practice was needed.

Liao Ya approached softly and asked, "Why did Sister come back so early? Are you done with your tasks?"

Li Pei smiled, "Today has been exceptionally leisurely. Einheit has now become the rat crossing the street, and the Imperial Court, holding onto righteousness, has finally breathed a sigh of relief. Speaking of which... we owe a big thank you to those heroes."

The three of them smiled with reserved politeness, and Lu Yao was curious about the current situation. Before he could ask, Li Pei volunteered the information.

"Jiade and Einheit have ongoing petty scruples over the overseas colonies, with deep-rooted conflicts between them.

This time, having obtained evidence that Einheit developed "Poison Gas," Jiade repeatedly caused trouble in the international community, putting Einheit in a very passive position.

The Opium Company, implicated in the matter, dared not utter a word, not even mentioning the fact that William had died."

Li Pei took Liao Ya's hand and said with a narrow smile, "So, this affair is considered over, and you can go home any time... However, I would still like my sister to keep me company for one more night."

Liao Ya had no choice but to agree, and the three of them stayed with Li Pei for an additional night before returning to the martial arts school the next day.

Yunzhou Einheit Concession

The "Opium Company" Li Pei mentioned as not daring to speak out welcomed two distinguished guests, a man and a woman, that day.

The man had a slender figure and sported a full beard, dressed in an exquisite black suit, with an Einheit Knighthood Medal pinned to his chest.

This was the Consul of the Einheit Yunzhou Concession—Vladimir.

At the moment, he poked a suit of armor full of bullet holes with his cane and said,

"The armor of the Imperial Royal Knights was torn apart like biscuits. Looking at the caliber... it appears to be some type of rapid-fire cannon."

This armor happened to be Wu Hailong's.

The woman wore a black and white striped dress with a latticed veil over her face.

Her vermilion lips parted lightly, "Mr. Consul, it looks like I'm taking over a hot mess. A reputation that couldn't be worse, nearly collapsed trade channels, and dangerous enemies."

Consul Vladimir held his head high and said, "Miss Kartin, I'm afraid the danger is even greater than you imagine. Baron William died from pure silver purification, and not even his soul was preserved. This indicates that the enemy is exceptionally wealthy."

"Are you suggesting the enemy is the Shun Country Imperial Court?"

"I can't guarantee that, you'll need to investigate slowly. However, I suggest you first learn the native language, which will make starting work easier."

Miss Kartin nodded and then shook a small bell in her hand.

A Tianzhu servant knocked and appeared at the door, bowing before bringing in a girl about 12 years old.

The little girl was covered in patches but looked neat and clean. She curtseyed and then stood without speaking. She was there to apply for a maid position and was somewhat at a loss on her first day at work.

Miss Kartin first praised the Tianzhu servant, "Well chosen, Mahad."

Then she gestured for the little girl to come closer with her finger.

The girl hesitantly walked a few steps forward, and Miss Kartin clenched her fist.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened as the blood in her body uncontrollably burst from her veins, spraying out and assembling into a slowly revolving blood orb beside Miss Kartin.

The Tianzhu servant, unperturbed, picked up the now mummified little girl and, after bowing, retreated.

Miss Kartin had already absorbed the blood orb and, after closing her eyes to savor it for a moment, spoke fluent Xia language, "I have already learned the native language."

Consul Vladimir noticed the smell of blood and also revealed his fangs. He was clearly upset and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, saying in a muffled voice,

"A fine 'Memory of Blood' spell. But that was quite impolite of you, to dine in the presence of a gentleman."

"I apologize, I am a believer of the Original Doctrine Sect."

Miss Kartin licked the corner of her mouth, "I have always felt that keeping food like livestock is a violation of the noble vampire instinct."

Consul Vladimir suppressed his instincts and retracted his fangs, shrugging, "You should have a lot in common with those mercenaries and armed merchants."

Miss Kartin laughed, "I am the newly-appointed manager of the Opium Company; it is indeed necessary to maintain good relations with employees and partners."
