My Martial Dao Has No Bottlenecks

Yang Wei bid Liang Cheng farewell at dusk. For a moment, Liang Cheng didn’t know how to comfort him and could only say three words.

"Master, take care."

"Why are you worrying about me, you brat? It’s nothing, just a passing sentiment. You are doing well. Don’t repeat my mistakes in the future. As for those powerful families, you must fight your way into their ranks with your own two fists."

"Alright, your injuries haven’t healed yet. Hurry up and go inside. Don’t worry about your mother. Besides me, Zhou Hu, and Zhao Yuan, no one knows where she is."

"I’ve troubled you, Master."

Yang Wei waved his hand. He seemed to want to say something more but ultimately didn’t. He turned and left.

After that, Liang Cheng secluded himself in the Celestial Dormitory for three days.

During those three days, the Martial Arts Academy was surprisingly calm.

The Xu Family made no further moves. News of the marriage alliance between the Xu and Qiao Families caused a brief stir of discussion, but it quickly died down, and no one paid it much mind.

The Qiao Family, after all, was just a fallen house.

On the morning of the fourth day, Liang Cheng pushed open the door to his room.

He held no weapons and stood in the courtyard in a single layer of clothing. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, then his body suddenly moved.

His toes tapped the ground silently as he slid forward three feet. With a twist of his waist and hips, his figure moved like a fish flicking its tail, executing nine sharp turns within a tiny space.

The Purification of Essence and Marrow from the Martial Refining Pool, combined with the potential-awakening effects of Elder Huang’s Elixir, had pushed his cultivation speed far beyond what it was before. The circulation of his Qi Blood was smooth and unobstructed, and his control over his body had become exquisitely precise.

That day, he was completely immersed in honing his footwork.

A gray shadow flickered in and out of sight in the courtyard. His turns and movements grew increasingly fluid, as natural as instinct. The force from his waist and legs perfectly matched the rhythm of his surging Qi Blood. Each step was as precise as if measured by a ruler, yet possessed the effortless grace of flowing water.

Just then, a light breeze swept by, and a leaf spiraled down from a branch. Without looking up, Liang Cheng slid half a step to the left without any warning, and the leaf brushed past the corner of his robes as it fell.

At the same time, with a light tap of his right foot, he shot into the air like an ascending dragon, twisted in mid-air, and landed back in his original spot before the leaf had even touched the ground.

The entire sequence was as smooth as flowing water, utterly effortless and graceful.

Success.

At that moment, Liang Cheng glanced to his left, then pretended he hadn’t noticed anything and returned to his room. For the past few days, he had sensed someone secretly watching him.

There was no malice. Liang Cheng could feel that it was the Martial Arts Academy secretly protecting him.

’After all, how could they not keep a close watch on a disciple who had escaped from a True Qi Realm expert?’

The Martial Arts Academy hadn’t produced a new True Qi Realm disciple in three years.

Liang Cheng feigned ignorance. ’This is good too,’ he thought. ’I can focus on my cultivation. When I’m strong enough, it will be time to settle accounts.’

「Xu Mansion.」

"How are the wedding preparations coming along?" Xu Zhang asked softly, setting down his teacup.

Standing respectfully to the side, Xu Zhi replied, "Rest assured, Father. Everything is ready."

"After the wedding, you’ll live with the Qiao Family."

"What? Wouldn’t that be a disgrace to my name?"

Xu Zhi was stunned. He hadn’t expected Xu Zhang to say such a thing.

"Be a loving couple, live a good life, and find that thing as soon as possible. Then you can leave Lin Wu City," Xu Zhang said, a cold glint in his eyes. "Remember, until you find it, you will obey Qiao Zhi’s every word. Be a good husband."

"Do you understand?"

Xu Zhang’s voice turned cold. A chill ran through Xu Zhi’s heart, and he quickly bowed his head. "I understand. I will not fail you, Father."

"From now on, do nothing but focus on the wedding. Don’t agree to anything, no matter who comes looking for you. Do you hear me?"

"Yes."

Not long after Xu Zhi left, Xu Feng knocked and entered.

"Second Uncle, the Martial Arts Academy is heavily guarded. We can’t find an opportunity to strike."

"In that case, I’ll have to pay a visit to the City Lord’s Mansion. Some people can’t just sit on the sidelines forever, can they?" Xu Zhang sneered.

Xu Feng, however, was hesitant. "Isn’t this forcing their hand too much? It could be detrimental to our Xu Family."

"Don’t worry, your Second Uncle knows what he’s doing. This won’t implicate the Xu Family. If something happens to me, help me take care of Xu Zhi."

"Second Uncle..."

Xu Feng looked up abruptly, but Xu Zhang cut him off.

"Rest assured, your Second Uncle has a plan."

That night, Xu Zhang went to the Martial Preparation Hall in the City Lord’s Mansion, only returning to his own mansion in the dead of night. No one knew what they discussed.

...

「On the eighth day of the third month, the Xu and Qiao Families were joined by marriage.」

The wedding was a lively affair. Dressed in his wedding attire, Xu Zhi welcomed the bride into the hall, and the very next day, he moved into the old Qiao Family residence.

All of Lin Wu City was abuzz with discussion. What kind of groom moves into his in-laws’ home after the wedding?

The Xu Family simply laughed it off to the public, claiming "the young couple is so in love they don’t care for such empty formalities." In reality, anyone with eyes could see that the Xu Family was likely using the marriage to justifiably take over what little remained of the Qiao Family’s assets.

When Liang Cheng heard the news, he offered no opinion and continued to train diligently.

[Stone Armor Skill (Copper Armor): Great Success (1100/5000)]

With an abundance of resources, Liang Cheng’s current cultivation speed could be described as monstrous. Just as he was preparing to press on with his training, a knock sounded at the door.

He got up and opened the door. Outside stood a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall, his expression solemn. "Senior Brother Liang, Elder Yan requests your presence."

"What is it about?"

"Someone from the Xu Family has arrived. They’re in the Law Enforcement Hall right now."

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, the atmosphere was tense. Yan Song sat high in the main seat, his face grim, while seated below him was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe with a smile in his eyes—the Xu Family’s head steward, Xu An.

Xu An cupped his hands in a salute, his tone respectful. "Elder Yan, my family’s Third Master, Xu Cangming, went to West Mountain a month ago to visit a friend and has yet to return. He was last seen near Thousand Poison Valley, which is within your esteemed academy’s jurisdiction. The Xu Family implores the Martial Arts Academy to assist in the search."

Yan Song said flatly, "Thousand Poison Valley is filled with poisonous miasma and overrun with Demon Beasts. Elder Xu went to a place like that to visit a friend?"

"The Third Master has a great love for nature and a particular fondness for exploring dangerous places. It’s just that he has been gone for a long time on this occasion, and the family is worried. That is why I have come to inquire."

"The Martial Arts Academy is now aware of this matter. We will discuss how to proceed and will inform the Xu Family of our decision."
