On the other side.
As Gu Cheng returned to his world, a notification from the "All Heavens Chat Group" rang in his mind.
【Ding! You have returned to your world!】
“Whew——”
Gu Cheng took a deep breath, savoring the familiar air, a sense of contentment rising within him.
The experiences of this day were incredibly fruitful for Gu Cheng.
He not only learned practical techniques like "Tortoise Breathing Technique", "Dragon Serpent Steps", and "Eagle Eye Technique".
He had also peeked into the movement of "Qi", grasped the true meaning of martial arts, attained Innate One Qi, effectively filling a major gap in his abilities.
He also received the "Yin Yang Limitless Skill".
And, through observing Luo Hao's body movement, he had grasped the true essence of "Light as a Swallow", and by combining it with "Dragon Serpent Steps", he created the even more powerful "Divine Foot Passage".
This brought his understanding of "Martial Arts" to a whole new level.
“I really hit the jackpot this time…”
Gu Cheng murmured to himself, a joyful expression on his face.
However.
Even with all this.
Gu Cheng still didn’t forget to open the "All Heavens Chat Group" and @ Luo Hao.
…
【Gu Cheng】：“@Luo Hao, please don’t forget what I told you.”
After sending the message, Gu Cheng exited the chat group.
He planned to go home, take a hot shower, and relax.
…
Meanwhile.
On the other side.
Luo Hao sat cross-legged on a mountain peak, surrounded by ruins.
“Find ‘Kusanagi Kotori’… kill him… then take his things…”
Luo Hao murmured to herself.
Her slender fingers gripped the edge of her clothes. This task itself wasn’t difficult.
With her reputation as "Martial King" and "Slaying God", she could simply give a command, and countless capable individuals would carry it out for her.
But.
The problem was, who was "Kusanagi Kotori"?
Luo Hao thought hard, racking her brains, but had no memory of this name.
Her centuries of life experience.
Had led her to habitually ignore those with weak abilities.
“A student… for that Gu Cheng to care about, he must not be an ordinary person…”
“But… he claims to be from the outside world, how could he know this person’s name?”
Luo Hao thought to herself, finding the name "Kusanagi Kotori" increasingly strange.
“Well, since I promised, I can't break my word.”
Luo Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in her mind, and decided to find "Kusanagi Kotori" first.
“Kusanagi Kotori… that name sounds like a Japanese name…”
Luo Hao felt a spark of inspiration.
While she wasn't familiar with Japanese affairs.
Her forces were incredibly vast, and she had eyes and ears even in Japan.
“If I can confirm his location, I can immediately order everyone to find someone called ‘Kusanagi Kotori’ in the shortest possible time!”
Thinking about this, a glimmer of light shone in Luo Hao's eyes.
After all, she didn’t believe.
That in that small island nation of Japan, they couldn’t find a single person named "Kusanagi Kotori"?!
However.
Before Luo Hao could pass down her orders.
A crisp notification sound suddenly rang in her mind.
Immediately, a virtual panel appeared in front of her.
“Hmm?”
Luo Hao furrowed her brows slightly, even more confused.
She cautiously stretched out her jade hand and tapped on the virtual panel that suddenly appeared.
The next moment.
The All Heavens Chat Group interface appeared before her.
At the same time.
The message from Gu Cheng was displayed before Luo Hao’s eyes.
“Humph! That brat again…”
“Does this concubine seem like someone who goes back on their word?”
Seeing this, Luo Hao's frown deepened, and her eyes flashed with displeasure.
She stared at the message Gu Cheng sent, her white and slender fingers tightly gripping the sleeves of her Hanfu, her knuckles turning slightly white from the pressure.
Who was she?
The "Martial King" who reigned supreme in martial arts!
The "Slaying God" who roamed the world!
Yet, she was reminded three times by Gu Cheng using the practice method of "Innate One Qi" as a bargaining chip.
Even though she had been defeated by Gu Cheng and had already accepted him, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
“Since I already promised, I, Luo Hao, will naturally follow through!”
However, after thinking for a moment, Luo Hao quickly suppressed her dissatisfaction.
After all, she truly couldn't resist the desire for "Innate One Qi" as a martial artist.
Thinking about this, Luo Hao's slender jade finger lightly tapped the screen, typing in the chat box:
【Luo Hao】：“Humph! Don’t worry, I’ll find that person called ‘Kusanagi Kotori’ even without you telling me.”
“This concubine is the dignified ‘Slaying God’!”
“Since I already promised, I won't go back on my word!”
“Just wait a day or two!”
“Humph! A mere trivial matter, does it deserve you to remind me again and again?!”
After sending the message.
Luo Hao no longer paid attention to the "All Heavens Chat Group".
With a thought.
The virtual panel instantly closed.
“This thing is really useful.”
Luo Hao observed, a flash of interest in her eyes.
Then, she stood up, patted the non-existent dust off her body, and looked around at the devastation.
“This place is ruined, it seems I need to change locations…”
Thinking about this, Luo Hao lightly tapped the ground with her toes, her figure soaring into the air, turning into a streak of light as she flew towards the foot of the mountain.
…
“Send orders, use all your resources, and find a person named ‘Kusanagi Kotori’ in Japan for this Daoist!”
Within moments, Luo Hao had issued her orders.
…
