Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 273 - 170: Fox Mountain’s Martial Dao Dunce, Star Belly_2
It was like a strand of hair, a very ordinary strand of hair, mixed in with the mess of Zhang Qiren's hair.
Its tip, like blowing bubbles, blew out a light, airy eye that glanced around before retracting.
It followed Zhang Qiren into the abandoned newsstand like this.
...
On Fox Mountain, Bai Mo explained to his disciples.
"Don't deal with him yet, just put an eye on his head.
"Let him calculate, have him predict every future moon leak for us."
But on the screen in West State University campus, Xue Yong sneakily dashed out from behind a corner and ran towards the abandoned newsstand! He directly opened the door and ran inside.
Bai Mo pulled at the corner of his mouth.
"This guy is too bold, doesn't even know his own limits, yet dares to chase like that?
"Luckily, they're already gone."
...
Clang!
Xue Yong opened the iron door and rushed into the newsstand!
But inside the newsstand was empty, nothing at all.
"Where are they?"
Indeed, they weren't there since the piece of Ancient Immortal flesh on his belly showed no reaction.
He looked around the newsstand, touched the walls, stepped on the floor, jumped to touch the ceiling, and only came away with a handful of dust. It's as if the two vanished into thin air after entering the newsstand?
Xue Yong scratched his head, feeling defeated, and left the place.
After some thought, he jogged all the way back to his temporary dorm at West State University!
...
Beside the small river, Round Stone Ancient Immortal stared at his despondent disciple, furrowing his brows.
"…Entered the newsstand and disappeared?
"Could it be Five Ghost Transport?
"An Array Master?
"This… this thing… is this grass something related to the Array method?
"Was it taken by an Array Master?"
The Ancient Immortal's face twisted, wanting to beat up Xue Yong but knowing it's pointless, only anger lost for nothing!
"Sigh!"
But then Xue Yong spoke again.
"Master, don't be too upset, maybe… maybe there's only one total, and don't we already have one?"
The Ancient Immortal snorted through his nostrils, feeling extremely frustrated.
"That one, damn it, I tried it as medicine and ate it!"
...
The whimpering sound of the wind wafted from the pitch-black night sky into the grand hall of the dormitory.
Inside the grand hall, Bai Mo sat at the bed head, staring at a stalk of Dream Grass with rapt attention.
His Divine Sense spread out in waves, cautiously sensing. He transformed his Divine Sense into gentle waves, meticulously feeling the Dream Origin aura of this grass!
"Its positional rank is indeed very high.
"It has many uses too.
"If consumed, it should temporarily boost brainpower, increase comprehension and memory abilities in a short time."
That's already quite a cheat!
Not to mention those Array methods requiring high-intensity calculation, in fact, any method, even the likes of Immortal Martial or Immortal Sword, which seem brute, need a lot of knowledge. Sometimes, failure to advance isn't due to lack of resources, but possibly not mastering the necessary knowledge.
With this thing, it's akin to briefly hacking the brain, enabling rapid learning of a skill.
But to Bai Mo, this use is rather trivial.
"…I'm already like this, how much smarter could I get?"
Bai Mo didn't plan to consume it.
Instead, he decided to delve deeper into research!
"Although I'm not of the Array method, I have indeed mastered the dream realm for a long time.
"Perhaps I can infer some dream-related knowledge and skills from this origin information?"
Thinking this way, Bai Mo shifted to a more comfortable position on the headrest of the Simmons bed.
Beside him, Black Gloves and Big Nose saw their master changing positions and immediately jumped into his arms, rubbing their heads against his chest.
Black Gloves was considerate, using its head to balance the flowerpot Bai Mo was observing, serving as a small table.
Big Nose was considerate too, balancing Bai Mo's tablet on its head, serving as a second small table.
Bai Mo grinned, removed the flower pot, let Black Gloves hold it, and rubbed its fat head.
"Silly, that flowerpot is a chamber pot, why hold it over your head?
"Just hold it."
Black Gloves widened its eyes, feeling quite vexed.
Chamber pot?
"Ow?"
In the dormitory grand hall, the other disciples were all playing around.
Peach Blossom Eyes and Star Ear, Round Ears were holding Fox Claw Detectors, surrounded by fellow disciples, boasting about the day's mission.
"Ying ying ying!"
"Ow ow ow!"
A group of disciples, inexplicably, started practicing Alchemist Fist again!
They were gathered around an abandoned Bronze Lamp Tree, exchanging fist techniques.
It was Big Head doing the practice!
"Ow!"
First move, sowing!
Fox Claw bends down and strikes!
Boom!
The base of the Bronze Lamp Tree was cracked.
"Eek!"
The second move, Pulling Grass!
Fox Claw grabs the small branches of the Lamp Tree and pulls upwards!
Crunch!
The Lamp Tree was pulled apart.
The foxes watching around, seeing the Lamp Tree being dismantled, jumped up and down, excited beyond measure.
"Eek eek eek!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!"
"Eek eek eek!"
The Alchemist Fist is a skill they learned early on. Although they haven't used it much, even now some foxes still believe the Alchemist Fist is the most powerful!
Star Belly stands among the watching brothers and joins in the cheering and jumping!
"Awoo awoo awoo! Eek eek eek!"
It has always liked the Alchemist Fist!
Because when they were learning this set of moves in the square back then, it was the worst learner! When the master corrected the postures for everyone, it was the one he corrected the most, spending the most time with!
Of course, even so, it was still the worst at learning, and the clumsiest in execution... but that's another story!
...
Before long, it was sleeping time.
The foxes rushed towards the Simmons bed, squeezing next to the master!
The fastest ones can climb onto the bed, snuggling into the master's arms, bodies pressed against the master.
The slower ones can squeeze a bit further away, close enough to catch the master's scent with a sniff.
The even slower ones had to settle further away, where they could see the master by merely opening their eyes.
Next to the Bronze Lamp Tree, once the brothers had run off, Star Belly stepped forward, struck a "Carry the Water Bucket" pose, picked up the Bronze Lamp Tree, spun it halfway, and gleefully smirked! It was terrible at this move, too embarrassed to use it in front of the brothers, so it took advantage of the chaos to have a bit of fun.
After enjoying the move, it turned back to look at the Simmons bed and suddenly froze.
"Aw?"
No good spots left!
It could only sleep on the outermost edge!
A pile of ten thousand foxes sleeping together is like a small hill.
Star Belly circled the foot of the hill several times, trying to find a spot as close to the master as possible, glanced at the master, then cuddled its big tail and lay down.
It nuzzled heads with the neighboring White Gloves, and then slept together.
...
No one knew how much time passed, when Star Belly suddenly felt itself being picked up.
"Eek?"
It opened its sleepy eyes to see the master holding it, gesturing for silence.
"Don't make a noise, I'm taking you to the human world to play."
Bai Mo was going to West State University for a patrol task, and today he decided to bring Star Belly along.
"Come on, let's ride the little electric mule."
...
Whiz!
The electric mule zoomed through the city.
Star Belly sat on the back seat, hugging the master's waist, its big tail swaying back and forth. It wore the round helmet the master bought for it, smiling so that its eyes bent in joy.
"Eek eek eek!"
It was a red helmet with white star patterns dotted all over. Just like its round belly, which also had star-dotted white spots!
In the busy city, cars streamed endlessly.
As the electric mule passed, neon signboards lined the street.
Star Belly widened its eyes, seeing the BBQ restaurant sign, the hot pot restaurant sign, and the Mixue Ice Cream sign!
"Aw..."
It gulped.
But then the master took a turn and headed to the entrance of Mixue Ice Cream.
"The task isn't urgent.
"Let's buy a cone first!"
Then glanced at the adjacent fried skewer shop.
"And let's get a fried sausage!
"For you to eat on the way!"
Bai Mo was about to order when a leaflet lady approached, handing him a piece of paper.
"Hey handsome, check out taekwondo!"
Bai Mo wasn't interested, and simply waved it off.
"I don't need it..."
Before finishing his sentence, a furry paw stretched out from the electric bike's back seat, gently tugging Bai Mo's clothes.
Bai Mo turned to see Star Belly fixated on the colorful flyer, staring at the young person in loose martial art attire executing a high kick, with longing written all over its face.
Star Belly wanted that printed flyer!
"Oh? You like this?"
"Aw!"
Star Belly nodded!
Even though it's a martial dao dunce, terrible at Alchemist Fist, can't master Puncture Valve, and sucks at Swordsmanship... it loves martial arts!
