White Tiger's Palm!

Duan Xi shook her head. The shocked expressions disappeared from her face and her face returned to normal, "I am coming. I am supposed to protect you, remember?"

Su Jun smiled and they left towards the restaurant. As they walked out from behind the houses, Hu Yun stepped out of his house and his eyes landed on Duan Xi and fixated on her. They began shining in a lustful light, "A goddess!" he mumbled and a wide smile appeared on his face, 'I want her!'

"Senior brother, Hu Yun!" A shout sounded from his right.

Hu Yun turned his head and seeing his friend, he mumbled, "Junior brother, Kang Wu."

Kang Wu approached, "Senior brother Hu Yun, I am waiting for you to teach Su Jun a lesson. Get revenge for me and Geng Xia."

Hu Yun nodded, "Of course! That Su Jun says he no longer wants to expel us? Who needs his pity! I was going to beat him regardless!" He burst into a laugh.

"Yes, brother Hu Yun!" Kang Wu started laughing as well.

"Senior brother Hu Yun, senior brother Kang Wu!" Another shout sounded but this time it was from Hu Yun's left. They turned their heads and seeing their friend, they said one after another, "Junior brother, Geng Xia."

Geng Xia approached, "It's a relief, isn't it? We are no longer getting expelled. We have to thank senior brother, Su Jun," he said with a relieved smile on his face.

Kang Wu frowned, "What are you saying, junior brother Geng Xia. Senior brother Hu Yun will mope the floor with Su Jun. So we don't have to thank him for anything and why did you call him senior brother?"

Geng Xia furrowed his eyebrows, "But we do… if he didn't speak up, we would have been expelled there and then. And he is stronger than me so what's wrong with me calling him senior brother?" Kang Wu frowned.

Hu Yun cracked his fists and the two looked at him, "I will thank him. I will thank him with my fists, two days. Brothers, Su Jun is not important right now, what's important is that I saw a goddess and I decided that the goddess will become my wife. Brothers, let's go."

Kang Wu and Geng Xia looked at each other and they looked at Hu Yun and said in unison, "A goddess?!"

…

On the way to the restaurant, Su Jun and Duan Xi didn't get surrounded or even approached. They only got stares from those that they passed, to be more exact Duan Xi did. The reason for it was because it was evening and there weren't that many disciples as during the noon and confidence grows in numbers. Since there weren't that many of them, they didn't dare to approach her.

They walked into the restaurant and sat down at the first table they saw. The male disciples all turned their eyes to her but not one of them had the courage to come up.

The waitress came up, "What would you like?"

Su Jun turned his head to her and said with a smile, "Meat bun and a green tea."

"Same for me," Duan Xi said with an indifferent expression on her face.

The waitress nodded and walked away.

Su Jun looked at Duan Xi who sat opposite of him and couldn't help but widely smile.

Duan Xi saw his wide smile and closed her eyes not saying a single word.

'It seems like she doesn't want to talk to me.' Su Jun turned his head and looked through the window.

A few minutes passed and the waitress came back and when she saw Duan Xi sitting with closed eyes and Su Jun looking outside, she widened her eyes and was at a loss for words, 'They came together but they are not even talking?' She then coughed into her free hand, "I have brought your food."

Su Jun moved his head and Duan Xi opened her eyes, they both looked at the waitress and nodded. The waitress placed their food on the table and walked away. The two picked up their meat buns and started eating. As for their tea, Su Jun drank it while eating while Duan Xi drank it after finishing her meat bun. Surprisingly they both finished at the same time.

"Let's return," Su Jun said with a smile.

Duan Xi nodded, "Alright."

The two stood up and walked back to the house area. Entering it Su Jun turned his head to her, "I am going back to my house. See you tomorrow—Goodnight," he said with a smile.

"Night."

Su Jun returned back to his house and Duan Xi entered an unoccupied house. He walked up to his bed and laid down, 'I didn't open a system after reaching the first level of , I wonder how much my stats improved.' He closed his eyes and he was now standing in system space. He sat down at the computer, logged in and clicked button.

'It increased from rank F to D, that's a jump of two ranks! Thinking about it now, I was able to hold that rank 3 martial mortal like it was nothing… I will cultivate a few more hours and tomorrow, I will practice, and cultivate as much as I can. Alright!'

Su Jun logged out of the system and his eyes opened, he sat down on the bed, closed his eyes and focused on the .

Ten seconds later a message floated up in his head, <+1>.

Two hours passed and he opened his eyes, 'That's enough for today.' He laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.

The morning came and his eyes opened, 'Time to practice ' He walked out of his house and walked behind the houses. He focused on the skill and movements floated up in his head. He pulled back his arm, formed a palm with fingers tucked in and struck; a message floated up in his head.

Su Jun's eyes widened, '30,000? Is that a little too much?' he shook his head and struck out again.

Duan Xi walked out of the building and closed her eyes, 'He is practising?' The corners of her lips rose up but then she furrowed her eyebrows, 'Is that ? The elder gave him that as well? But why? The skill is incomplete with only the first level recorded and not only that, it is extremely hard to train in.' She walked to Su Jun's location and saw him striking the air with his palms, she walked under tree shade and observed him.

Su Jun struck out and struck out, two more hours passed and a message floated up in his head once again.

Duan Xi looked at each palm strike without averting her eyes.

Four hours passed.

'Yesterday, he reached the first stage of after four hours.'

Six hours passed and a message floated up in his head once again.

'It's already past noon, he should be stopping soon.'

Su Jun frowned, 'I am not stopping until I reach the first level!'

Eight hours passed and a message floated up in his head once again.

Duan Xi furrowed her eyebrows, 'It has been eight hours already. How long is he planning to practice?'

Ten hours passed and a message floated up in his head once again.

'…'

Twelve hours passed and a message floated up in his head once again.

'His tenacity is amazing… more amazing that of anyone that I saw.' A smile appeared on Duan Xi's face.

Twelve hours and 30 minutes passed, he pulled back his arm, formed a palm with fingers tucked in and struck, a weak tiger's roar sounded from his palm and a message floated up in his head.

"Finally did it!" Su Jun shouted out and his arms fell to his sides.

Duan Xi's eyes and mouth widened in shock, "That last strike! That was the white tiger's palm? He actually did it!"
