178: Chapter 178 Moon Shadow's Attention, Terrifying Comprehension
University Alliance, VIP Lounge.
Inside the lounge, a woman of stunning beauty with a cool, aloof temperament and a tall, slender figure sat on the sofa.
She wore a form-fitting white skirt and gold-rimmed glasses. Between her brows lay a hint of mesmerizing charm, seemingly capable of drawing one into endless depths.
"Grandmaster Yue Ying, I've brought Zhou Bai!"
A short while later, a knock sounded at the door, accompanied by a clear, bright voice.
"Come in!"
Grandmaster Yue Ying said, her voice laced with allure.
The door to the VIP room opened, and Song Wangtian entered with Zhou Bai.
"Greetings, Grandmaster Yue Ying!"
Upon entering the room, Zhou Bai addressed the Grandmaster.
Simultaneously, his system instantly scanned and displayed Grandmaster Yue Ying's information.
[Name: Hua Qianying]
[Level: Ninth Grade]
[Appearance Score: 95]
[Chest: C]
[Height & Weight: 168cm, 54kg]
[Charging Count:]
"Hehe, Little Song, I have something to discuss with little brother Zhou Bai. You may leave first!"
Grandmaster Yue Ying smiled slightly and said to Song Wangtian, who stood beside Zhou Bai.
"Yes, Senior Yue Ying!"
Song Wangtian nodded and then left the room.
"Little brother Zhou Bai, I've had my eye on you for a long time. Ever since you passed the assessment at our Moon Shadow Martial Arts Hall, I've known about you. I just never expected your talent to be so outstanding, reaching this level in such a short time!"
After Song Wangtian left, Grandmaster Yue Ying rose from the sofa, slowly approached Zhou Bai, and looked at him with a peculiar light in her eyes.
"Grandmaster Yue Ying has been watching me..."
Hearing Grandmaster Yue Ying's words, Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat. He never imagined that a lofty Grandmaster would pay attention to someone like him?
"Don't worry, I harbor no ill will toward you. On the contrary, I admire you greatly. Others may think your rapid martial progress and astonishing combat power are impressive, but I believe your most formidable asset is that terrifying comprehension. My Phantom Sky Travel is difficult for ordinary Golden Body Realm and Sky Soaring Realm martial artists to cultivate, yet you mastered it in mere minutes!"
Grandmaster Yue Ying hooked her finger under Zhou Bai's chin, her voice flowing into his ear like the murmur of a clear spring.
At the same time, faint wisps of a delicate fragrance from Grandmaster Yue Ying's body, reminiscent of musk, wafted through the air, stirring and unsettling Zhou Bai's thoughts.
If not for Zhou Bai's extensive experience in such matters, he might have truly struggled to maintain his composure.
"You flatter me, Grandmaster Yue Ying. My modest comprehension is hardly worth mentioning!"
Suppressing the tumult in his mind, Zhou Bai spoke slowly.
"If your terrifying comprehension is considered 'hardly worth mentioning,' then the rest of us might as well be trash!"
Grandmaster Yue Ying shot Zhou Bai a coquettish, meaningful glance and said alluringly,
"That shadow-splitting attack technique you used later was derived from my S-rank martial art, Phantom Sky Travel, wasn't it?"
Hearing the latter part of Grandmaster Yue Ying's sentence, Zhou Bai's heart jolted again.
He hadn't expected Grandmaster Yue Ying to pinpoint his key secret so immediately.
Indeed, while his martial realm advanced swiftly, the system's primary assistance lay in enabling him to comprehend and learn various top-tier martial arts and secret techniques at an accelerated pace.
Although that Nine Shadows Void Escape technique shared the same origin as Phantom Sky Travel, it was fundamentally different. Yet Grandmaster Yue Ying could discern the connection, clearly indicating her own profound attainment in the martial path.
"Grandmaster Yue Ying is perceptive. My Nine Shadows Void Escape was indeed comprehended from Phantom Sky Travel!"
Zhou Bai took a deep breath and then spoke slowly, his gaze fixed intently on the Grandmaster before him.
