Chapter Twelve: "Yang Xuan Practices Martial Arts"

After Baigou imparted a chapter of the "Taishang Gan Ying Jing" to Yang Xuan, for the next few days, Yang Xuan, Lu Xiaoqi, and Ye Bingbing began special training under Baigou's supervision.
The "Tai Shang Gan Yin Jing" taught by the White Dog to Yang Xuan is said to have been created by the Taoist immortal Tai Shang Lao Jun. It is a meditation technique that can help one sense the essence of heaven and earth, and harmonize the internal yin and yang.
The reason why the White Dog taught this technique to Yang Xuan is naturally to help him awaken his own fighting spirit as soon as possible and become a qualified seal holder.
After studying the "Tai Shang Gan Yin Jing," Yang Xuan woke up early every day to absorb the so-called essence of the sun and moon, but after a few days, he still hadn't made any progress.
White Dog tormented Yang Xuan for several days, sometimes putting him in a dark room, sometimes keeping him up all night to observe the stars and study celestial maps...
However, no matter how hard White Dog tried, Yang Xuan just couldn't awaken his battle spirit.
Helpless, White Dog had to hand him over to Ye Bingbing and let her teach Yang Xuan martial arts for self-defense.
"Since ancient times, literature has Taiji to stabilize the world, and martial arts have the Eight Extremes to establish the universe."
Inside the training room, Ye Bingbing is wearing a white practice suit and her temperament is particularly fresh.
Yang Xuan stands in front of her, listening attentively.
Ye Bingbing continued, "Our family has several sets of inherited martial arts, including a set of Ye's Eight Extremities Fist, which is more concise and powerful than the ordinary Eight Extremities Fist and is suitable for men to practice. So you have to learn it well."
Yè Bīngbīng said, and took a stance, starting to practice boxing in front of Yáng Xuán.
"Baji Fist only attacks and never defends, so the movements must be powerful. Once you strike, you must defeat the enemy before stopping, and never show mercy."
"Ba Ji Quan requires strength because only with great force can you bring down your opponent."
"Ba Ji Quan emphasizes on Qi, so when you practice the punches, you should listen to the sound of your own punches."
Like that, for the next few days, Ye Bingbing personally taught Yang Xuan the Eight Extremities Fist of the Ye family.
Surprisingly, thanks to becoming a Sealer, Yang Xuan progressed quickly in learning the martial arts. In just a few days, he was able to fight skillfully.
"Drink!"
On this day, Yang Xuan suddenly threw a punch and hit the sandbag, which was sent flying.
It's not that his martial arts skills were so great, but rather that he had tremendous strength and had mastered the explosive power technique of the Ye-style Eight Extremities Fist, allowing him to use a burst of power in an instant.
"Hmm, if you keep practicing like this and fight a few more times, you'll get the hang of it."
Yè Bīng Bīng looked around, her gaze drifting and unfocused, indicating that her mind was elsewhere.
"What's going on with you these past few days, Bing Bing?"
Yang Xuan wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "Why do I feel like you've been listless in the past few days?"
"I..."
Ye Bingbing looked at Yang Xuan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to go find my dad. I haven't been able to contact him lately, and I don't know if something's happened at the martial arts gym."
Yang Xuan was surprised: "Martial arts hall? Your family still owns a martial arts hall?"
"Understood."
Ye Bingbing nodded.
"If you want to go home, just go home, what's the problem?"
Yang Xuan walked towards the door as he spoke: "Da Bai has said it the past couple of days, we have trained enough and it's time to go clear the outside of the mutant beasts. You have a battle spirit, what are you afraid of?"
After speaking, Yang Xuan left the practice room, leaving Ye Bingbing alone inside.
"Oh."
Ye Bingbing looked at Yang Xuan's departing figure and felt inexplicably lost.
"Let's go, why are you still standing there?"
Suddenly, Yang Xuan who had just left returned and looked at Ye Bingbing strangely, asking, "Didn't you say you wanted to go home? I had Xiao Qi drive you."
"Ah? Are you guys going too?"
Ye Bingbing suddenly widened her eyes, looking surprised.
"Of course not... you're not thinking of going back alone, are you?"
Yang Xuanguo quickly shook her head, "No way. It's too chaotic outside now. How could we let you go back alone? What if something happens? If we have to go, we'll go together. Don't you welcome us?"
"Of course, you're welcome."
Ye Bingbing shook her head repeatedly and suddenly laughed, her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower, which was enchanting.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, standing at the door motionless.
"What are you looking at? Let's go."
Yè Bīngbīng is actually quite shy. When she saw Yáng Xuán staring at her, she immediately lowered her head and hurriedly walked out the door.
"Tsk, tsk."
Yang Xuan came to his senses and looked at Ye Bingbing's back, admiringly saying, "No wonder she's the school belle, she's really beautiful."
"Beautiful? Are you talking about me?"
As a result, Lu Xiaoqi walked in through the back door and happened to hear this statement, his nose immediately curling up, "You're just realizing it now? This lady has always been beautiful."
"Uh...yes, you're beautiful."
Yang Xuan looked at the little girl who was shorter than him, and awkwardly smiled.
After a week of special training, because of Ye Bingbing, they decided to accompany her home together to check on her family situation.
"Yang Xuan, don't you want to go home and see?"
As usual, Ye Bingbing and Bai Gou sat in the back seat.
"Me?"
Yang Xuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head without changing his expression, and said, "My father passed away in an accident many years ago, and my mother passed away a few years ago. There is only my grandfather left in the family, and he is now in a nursing home. I only go to see him during my annual leave."
"I'm sorry."
Yè Bīngbīng appeared flustered, as she had not expected that both of Yang Xuan's parents had passed away, and she felt like she had asked the wrong question.
"It's okay."
Yang Xuan beamed a brilliant smile: "My mother wanted me to succeed in life before she passed away, and now I am the Sealer, going to save the world. If my parents knew, they would surely be very happy."
"Hmm, Uncle and Auntie will definitely be proud of you. Keep up the good work."
Ye Bingbing nodded seriously and even waved her fist to encourage Yang Xuan.
"Your parents may not be in heaven."
Just then, the white dog interrupted with a snarky comment: "The only place for Hell is in the East, while Heaven is in the West. Your parents aren't Westerners, so how can they go to Heaven?"
"Lan gou, go die."
Yang Xuan's forehead was full of black lines after hearing this, and he turned around and ignored it.
"Big White, how could you say such things!"
As a result, Ye Bingbing scolded the white dog for disrespecting Yang Xuan and demanded an apology. "You should apologize to Yang Xuan. You are showing him no respect."
"Why?"
白狗一脸错愕，很是不解道：“我说的是真的啊，你们不信我改天联系一下阎王，让他查查生死簿，看看你爸妈有没有去投胎，要是没有，我带他们上来跟你叙叙旧……”
"How dare you!"
Yang Xuan couldn't help but turn around and shout at him, "What's so great about being a fairy! If you're so powerful, why don't you drive the Mountain and Sea World away? If you dare to bother my parents, I'll fight you."
Although Yang Xuan also wants to see his parents again very much, he knows very well that death keeps people apart and he wouldn't let the white dog disturb his parents.
"Hey, you brat! I helped you with good intentions, but you think everyone can see the King of Hell?!"
"Get out! I don't need you!"
……
And so, Yang Xuan and the white dog bickered all the way while Lu Xiaoqi drove, and after a little over an hour on Ye Bingbing's straight road, they arrived at the entrance of a flower and bird market.
