Even for top-tier martial arts actors like Yuan Heping, they were considered mere showpieces with no real practicality in the eyes of those who had been practicing martial arts since childhood.
The Mo family was not just about martial arts; their most crucial skill was the use of hidden weapons.
Core disciples had to not only master using hidden weapons but also learn to craft them.
The Mo family had once declined because many hidden weapon crafting techniques had no successors.
Mo Yanwen was the youngest family head in hundreds of years. He succeeded because he managed to recreate two of the three major hidden weapons of the Mo family.
The elder council regarded him as the genius closest to Mo Yanfeng.
Therefore, even though he was still unmarried, his position as the family head was unshakable.
Feng Dong, an outsider allowed to train with the Mo family, was not as skilled as the core disciples but was always arrogant to outsiders.
It wasnât that he looked down on Si Fuqing; he simply believed she was from a completely different world.
He intended to intervene merely to see Xi Jiangâs frustration.
âI donât know,â Si Fuqing said calmly. âI just started learning. How about you be my target?â
Feng Dong laughed, âYou donât know hidden weapons, so what have you been learning? And you want me to be your target?â
âAre you scared?â Si Fuqing asked leisurely. âA Mo family outer disciple scared of a celebrity like me? No wonder you canât become a core disciple.â
Provoked by her words, Feng Dong became furious. âFine, Iâll be your target! Do you think Iâm scared of you? What a joke!â
Xi Jiang sighed, muttering under his breath, âIdiot.â
He didnât want to remind Feng Dong either, he said, âMiss Si, the training ground is this way.â
The three of them arrived at the central training ground, where other outer disciples were practicing martial arts.
âGo ahead,â Feng Dong pointed to the hidden weapon rack. âUse any of these. Letâs see which ones you know.â
Si Fuqing glanced at the weapons and casually picked a few.
Feng Dong sneered, noticing her choice.
Even the simplest sleeve arrow was not something a celebrity could handle.
He planned to report Xi Jiangâs negligence to the elder council afterward.
Si Fuqing weighed the throwing knives in her hand, her expression indifferent. âLetâs begin.â
Her beauty was striking.
Even though the Mo family disciples didnât recognize her, they were still drawn to her.
Among them was Mo Chuâan, who was observing the training. He raised his chin slightly. âWhatâs happening over there?â
A guard stepped forward, returning after a few minutes. âIt seems someone is trying to sneak an outsider into the Mo family. They are testing this outsider now.â
The Mo familyâs core hidden weapon techniques were never taught to people are not part of the Mo family, regardless of their skills.
From a distance, Mo Chuâan took a closer look at Si Fuqing, feeling a sense of familiarity. âShe looks familiar.â
âFifth Young Master, the advertisement in the Mo City central mall,â the guard reminded him. âCosmetics advertisement, played on loop. The Lady even bought a set and liked it.â
âA celebrity?â Mo Chuâan lost interest immediately. âAnother celebrity.â
The Mo family hadnât withdrawn from public view, and every year, martial arts celebrities came to Mo City hoping to join.
Unfortunately, they never met the Mo familyâs standards.
Mo Chuâan smoothed his sleeves. âLetâs go. I need to find my big brother.â
The guard hurried after him. âThe family head has been busy these days. Iâll check for you first.â
âIndeed, the responsibility of the Mo familyâs Mechanism City rests on my big brother,â Mo Chuâan shook his head. âI shouldnât disturb him. Thereâs an important guest arriving tomorrow. Letâs prepare for that.â
The guard followed Mo Chuâan out.
At the same moment, Si Fuqing moved.
She raised her hand, her expression still nonchalant, but her movements were precise.
âSwish!â
âSwish, swishâân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Silver needles shot from her sleeve, transforming into nine silver streaks in the air, all targeting Feng Dong.
âRip!â
It felt as if the air itself had been torn apart.
The needles flew straight towards Feng Dongâs vital points!
Feng Dongâs eyes widened, feeling intense pressure. He screamed, his legs giving way as he collapsed.
âWhoosh, whoosh, whoosh!â
The nine needles embedded themselves around him, missing his body by mere millimeters.
Feng Dong was paralyzed with fear, cold sweat dripping down his face.
Although silver needles were the most basic of the Mo familyâs hidden weapons, achieving such precision would normally take months of practice.
Just learning?!
Si Fuqing wiped her hands. âLetâs go.â
The surrounding area fell silent. The other disciples, previously immersed in their training, were now staring in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
