Chapter 748: Chapter 725: Extra: The Master’s Path

In the morning, the first thing Tantai Yan did upon waking up was to grab the phone on his bedside table.

When the wind blew in from outside the window, he blinked in confusion, "Did I leave the window open last night?"

All he remembered was winning several games with the big boss last night.

Not taking it seriously, he calmly washed up and went downstairs to eat, only to see his second apprentice there with a few bruises on his face.

"Who did you get into a fight with?"

Ji Zhangzhuo looked at him resentfully, then lowered his head before he was noticed, "I fell off the bed while sleeping."

"You really don’t sleep honestly."

Tantai Yan casually ate his breakfast, reminiscing about things from long ago, "You never slept well before, fighting in your sleep. Miaomiao has this habit too."

Tuanzi, who was named, raised her head with a steamed bun in her mouth, looking completely baffled.

But when Tantai Yan looked down to eat, she gave Ji Zhangzhuo a fierce glare, silently saying, "Second Brother, you’re too weak!"

Ji Zhangzhuo was silently suffering.

Yesterday, after a brainstorming session, everyone decided that whoever came up with the idea should take the lead. He cleverly chose to sneak in while the master was asleep at night to take the phone.

Having been in the modern world too long, a group of martial arts experts living in the same villa, he had forgotten that nighttime sneak attacks are a taboo against masters.

Many martial artists, when resting at night, unconsciously activate their Inner Strength.

It’s harmless when facing someone weaker. But if you encounter someone with profound Inner Strength, you might get hurt in return.

Last night, while the master was asleep, he secretly pried open the window. Before he could imitate his junior sister’s usual maneuver of slipping through the window crack, he was bounced out by the master’s Inner Strength, directly into the courtyard of Miaomiao’s third uncle’s house.

Coincidentally, Gu Chi, staying up late, was painting in the courtyard. Witnessing this scene, he was so inspired that he painted his awkward moment.

What a person, not afraid of going blind!

If that wasn’t enough, after returning embarrassed, he didn’t dare to try again. Not only did he not get comforted by his senior and junior brothers and sisters, he was even mocked.

Where’s the camaraderie among fellow apprentices? In Big Smart’s belly?

With a face of grievance, Ji Zhangzhuo ate his meat buns in big bites.

After breakfast, Tantai Yan, having the most free time, continued playing on his phone.

Tuanzi and a few others exchanged glances and gathered in the courtyard.

"Not safe," Tuanzi cautiously looked towards the door, "We need to go to the community recreation area."

At this distance, the master would definitely be able to hear clearly.

Li Zhou pouted, "The master is so engrossed in the game, he might not hear clearly."

Just like how the junior sister’s Inner Strength is impressive, but once she’s engrossed in eating, she ignores the outside world.

However, they still went to the recreation area.

Tuanzi rubbed her little cheeks, "If only Third Brother were here."

Third Brother is the most formidable among them!

Today, it was East Gate East who came out, speaking for the dissatisfied East Gate West, "Maybe we can use particleization and transparency to stealthily approach the master. Or we can try using our abilities to move objects from a distance first."

The result of trying was that his ability was blocked by an invisible barrier.

East Gate East didn’t have much of a reaction, but Tuanzi, who understood Inner Strength thoroughly, opened her mouth wide, "The master’s Inner Strength is stronger, Miaomiao wants to achieve this, too."

"Off-topic, junior sister!"

Ji Zhangzhuo rubbed her little head, while telling East Gate East, "Try particleization, I don’t believe the master can detect it."

East Gate East had no choice but to turn back, particleize himself at the courtyard gate, and sneak up to the master who was engrossed in the game.

Just as the master was distracted by Big Smart biting his slipper, he quickly grabbed the phone, planning to leave with it... but couldn’t.

East Gate East struggled to pull the phone, finding that it seemed glued to the master’s hand and wouldn’t budge. He was stunned and gaped.

"Who’s there?"

Tantai Yan cautiously extended his palm.

With a sweep of Inner Strength, East Gate East could no longer maintain his particleization and collapsed softly on the ground. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Old Five?"

From the actions and demeanor, Tantai Yan quickly identified this was the fifth apprentice.

He raised an eyebrow, "What were you just trying to do? I remember you have a phone."

"I, I..."

With a faint smile on his handsome face, East Gate East was nervous, always feeling there was more to this smile.

"I, I just wanted to play the game too, no one wants to play with me!" Nervous East Gate East blurted out.

"You should’ve said earlier, I ran into a very formidable player, well, he should be considered my master."

East Gate East gaped, "Master’s master?"

Tantai Yan didn’t mind what he called him, and taught him how to play the game hand in hand.
