7 Chapter 7 Exercise Pavilion

Lin Lee's expression became strange after recalling the information, his brow furrowing as he gazed at the bead floating and rotating in his palm.

"Is it because of my nanobots and bead spirit working as one?" he pondered, his expression become thoughtful.

"I don't know about my nanobot spirit, but my bead spirit is probably surpassed super martial spirit," he concluded with a hint of uncertainty.

Suddenly, a foul odor assaulted his senses, causing him to frown in disgust. His eyes widened as he noticed a black scab on his body, Hurriedly rush toward the bath.

After immersing himself in the soothing water, he emerged feeling refreshed, his skin now radiating with a newfound luster.

He couldn't help but notice the transformation in his physique, the once-hidden muscles now more defined, giving him a sense of strength and confidence.

Standing before the mirror, he admired the sculpted lines on his body, nodding in satisfaction at the reflection before him.

Looking at Meng Yu cleaning the messy bed.

Meng Yu was startled and turned around, looking at Lin Lee standing wearing only a bathrobe, her face turned red.

Then raised her hand covering her eyes, but still she peek's through her finger's.

Lin Lee was speechless. 'This maid looks like a pervert, I am just twelve years old, still fourteen years old are considered adult in this civilization, some even start marrying at this age and had children.' he thought to himself, then shook his head removing such speechless thoughts from his mind.

"Young Master, you've become very handsome," Meng Yu said in a daze, with a smoky head and a tomato-like face.

Lin Lee glanced at her with a playful expression. 'Let's tease her a little.'

Next Second,

"So you're saying I wasn't handsome before?" Lin Lee asked expressionlessly.

Meng Yu's face changed turned pale, and she shook her head vigorously, tears misting in her eyes.

"I didn't mean it, young master don't abandon me," she said with a choking voice.

Lin Lee became speechless. 'Why is this girl crying at every turn? Who said I will abondon her?'

Looking at her crying, Lin Lee realized through memory in his mind, 'It seems I have overdone it a little, I can't use previous life jokes here. I can't tease her like this, In this civilization maids once tied to someone, seperation is like death for them, also they don't understand jokes.' He thought to himself looking at constant tears flowing through her eyes, smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "I was just teasing you, don't worry how can I abondon my lovely maid."

Meng Yu startled looking at smile on Lin Lee face, hearing 'lovely maid,' redness spread through her cheeks, then rubbing away her tears said with red face, "Young Master is bad,"

"So you are saying, you aren't my lovely maid." Lin Lee then asked calmly again.

"No, I didn't mean it." Meng Yu then hurriedly replied, realizing she missed her words, looking at teasing smile on Lin Lee face, her face turned red again bowing her head embarrassingly.

'Young master is bullying me.'

Lin Lee glanced at her embarrassed expression shook his head funnily, then checked his strength and meridian, which were now like rivers and lakes in his body, and also his martial aura, which became pure white and extremely condensed.

'It seems I have to visit the clan martial arts pavilion in order to find an attribute exercise and technique. Simple heaven and earth aura is a lot weaker than those elemental spirit auras,' Lin Lee thought to himself.

"Meng Yu, stay inside the courtyard. I am going to the pavilion," Lin Lee reminded,

Meng Yu nodded,

Lin Lee then left the courtyard. Now he is a 6th level martial artist, but without art, he can't exert his full strength. He can fight opponents at same realm, but as a traveler, how could he be satisfied without leaps and bounds battle?

"What kind of attribute my martial arts have?" Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, while walking toward the martial arts pavilion.

After a while, he appeared inside the pavilion building, looking at the shelf filled with yellow-level techniques. He glanced at the old elder with a white goatee, closing his eyes resting on the chair. He looked like an ordinary old man.

'So this is one of the hidden experts in every Clan, probably an innate return to basic expert,' Lin Lee thought to himself, then walked toward the shelf filled with exercise techniques.

"According to clan rule, I can only take one exercise and two technique at once," Lin Lee muttered, looking at the different yellow-level exercises.

Fire Lotus art,

Water wave art,

Wind features art,

Looking through the exercises and their descriptions, Lin Lee was disappointed. No exercise matched his taste.

'All exercises are too single, there are no dual or triple attribute exercises.' he thought to himself. Instantly, his eyesight fell on an old book lying in the corner of the shelf below.

He picked it up, removing the dust, and looked at the title and description revealed above. He was surprised, opened it looking at the description on the first page.

Spirit Body Forging Art: Can condense and compress heaven and earth aura, double at each stage of martial artist, and gives an innate-like aura at the 10th stage martial artist level. But the drawback is that it is non attribute exercise and requires unimaginable heaven and earth aura at each break through.

It will be a few times harder to upgrade to the innate realm. Also, in the future, he can convert to only non-attribute exercises or multiple attribute exercises after achieving the innate realm.

Lin Lee didn't pay attention to other benefits or drawbacks but glanced at the special note which intrigued him,

*Gain exclusive Innate physique after exercising body to the top of Martial Artist.*

This technique is also a physical exercise beside spirit art, which surprised him.

'So this exercise works in dual ways, spirit and body, also special physique even if it is only an innate physique. Who doesn't want that?' Lin Lee thought to himself intriguingly,

He was extremely surprised because physical practitioners have become legends of the past. They are recorded in history and recalled in rumors only. Also, rumors say physical innate practitioners are much stronger than spiritual innate practitioners.

Lin Lee hesitated, then took the book and walked toward the martial technique shelves.

After scanning through all technique, he chose two suitable technique's.

Feather steps and Nine echo fist martial arts technique, registered the exercise and technique.

"I admire your courage to select this exercise, despite your talent. I hope you can consider your decision," The pavilion elder reminded after being surprised by Lin Lee's selection, looking at old exercise book in Lin Lee hand.

Lin Lee shook his head firmly and replied, "Thank you, Elder for the reminder, but I want to choose this way."

The pavilion elder sighed and nodded, registering the exercise and technique.

Lin Lee then asked curiously, "Old man, can you tell me about this exercise, I can't see it's quality and order."

Pavilion Elder raised his brow, 'Old man?' then smiled shaking his head and said, "This exercise was found by a clan disciple inside the cave. Then it was dedicated to the pavilion after he couldn't practice it, we don't know it's quality or order. It is added in pavilion probably few hundreds of years ago, so we categorized it at yellow level, from past hundred years a lot of clan disciple tried to cultivate but all failed, even those disciple with super grade martial spirit failed,"

Lin Lee surprised then asked, "Is it so hard to cultivate this exercise?"

Elder shook his head replied thoughtfully, "It's complicated some can practice it fast and some can slow, because it requires both spirit and body talent. It's spirit part is quite easy to practice, but it has no attribute so the damage of non attribute aura is quite less then those attribute aura. Also the one major drawback is that those disciple who practiced this exercise, couldn't breakthrough Innate that's why they all failed."

"They couldn't transfer to other exercises in the end they had to give up their cultivation and re-cultivate, as you can see in the description; All these drawbacks and benefits on it were written by those disciple who practiced this exercise before."

"As for the Body training part in this exercise is quite outrageous, which is to run the whole exercise in reverse to burst the martial aura in whole body, I will advice you to not practice the body by reversing the exercise, because one of the Lin Clan disciple was abolished his meridians were damaged,"

"Also, there is no guarantee you will awaken a physique after practicing the body to the top of Martial Artist level." Pavilion Elder explained patiently, then reminded solemnly again.

Lin Lee surprised then became thoughtful, asked again, "Then why did Clan put it inside the pavilion, they should destroy this dangerous book."

Old pavilion elder smiled rubbing his goatee,'I like this kid he is quite calm and thoughtful like his father.' Then he said with a smile, "It's because this exercise is one of the few non-attribute exercises which are extremely rare, those non attribute top spirit talent can practice this exercise."

Elder then waved his hand and gave eviction order, also saying.

"Return it in a week."

Lin Lee nodded calmly, took the books and thanked, then walked away.

Looking at his back, the pavilion elder relaxed down in the seat, shook his head, and sighed muttered. "Such a complicated fate."
