BXBX NOVEL Chapter 94: [Bonus Chapter] Thirteen Wants To Train
\'Martial artist,\' Nox thought as he watched them. The martial arts class was not that popular in Eos, and they mostly lived in sects or dojos. Unlike other classes, their skills depended on Qi.
This was the first time Nox had come across a martial artist. He had only read about them in cultivation novels in the past. Now that he was seeing them in real life, Nox was very curious about their skills.
The bald man\'s grey robe fluttered as he shifted his weight, his eyes locked onto an invisible opponent. With a swift motion, he raised his hands, and a burst of golden light erupted from his fingertips. The air seemed to ripple as he shouted,
"Dragon\'s Claw!"
Standing behind the martial artist, Thirteen watched intently, his eyes wide with excitement.
The bald man\'s hands seemed to transform into razor-sharp claws, leaving behind trails of golden energy as he struck the air. The energy coalesced into a shimmering aura, taking the shape of a dragon\'s claw. Then the bald man waved his hand, and the aura dissipated.
"Good, but not perfect," the bald man said, his eyes narrowing as he critiqued his own technique. "Remember, Qi flows through the body like a river. Control the flow, and you control the power."
The martial artists nodded their heads, their faces filled with determination as they began to practice the technique, but not even a single one of them could execute the technique like the old man.
Nox watched with a disappointed look on his face. As he continued to watch, Nox felt a strange energy beside him. Turning his head in that direction, Nox saw Thirteen replicating the move the bald man had displayed. However, his claw was shimmering blue in color, unlike the golden claw of the bald man.
[Martial Awareness Activated!]
[Chances of learning skill…0000050%]
"Ah, now that I remember, this skill allows Thirteen to easily learn any skill he sees…it\'s just like my talent but lower…I guess the reason the claw is blue is that Thirteen doesn\'t have Qi."
[Martial Awareness (passive): 30% chance of learning any martial art.]
Suddenly, Nox had an idea. The reason Thirteen had come here in the first place was to train with these people; what if he asked the teacher to teach Thirteen?
Though Thirteen could just stand by and watch, the panda wanted to feel the thrill of training together with other people.
----
"You want me to train a panda?" The bald man stared at Nox as if he was looking at a rare specimen.
Nox nodded his head. "Yes, the panda is under my control, so you don\'t have to worry about it attacking anybody." He proceeded to command Thirteen to perform some moves, convincing the old man that the panda was actually under his control.
"Does this have to do with your class? I can see you\'re a promising Awakened. Why don\'t you join the class instead…of this panda?" The man suggested. How was he supposed to teach a beast martial arts? Was this kid insane?
"How much for the tuition fee?" Nox asked.
"Just 1 gold coin for a week\'s worth of teaching. I promise you after learning our technique, you\'ll never be the same again." The man said, like a businessman who was advertising his business.
Nox nodded his head, "Here, let the panda join the class." Nox flipped a coin to the old man, who caught it.
"I\'m sorry, I have to return this. There is no way for me to teach a panda martial arts."
\'He didn\'t see the earlier move, huh,\' Nox thought as a mischievous plan formed in his head. He was running short of money because of the spending in the tavern. He barely had three gold coins left.
"How about we make a bet? If the panda is able to replicate your skill, you\'ll let him in?"
"Hmph, I bet two gold coins! Nothing of the sort is possible!" The man named Parker bellowed. When he heard Nox\'s absurd words, he was beginning to think the kid really had mental issues.
"Stupid brat! I bet 20 silver coins!" The disciples smirked and started betting as well when they heard the content of the conversation. They\'d be fools to miss this opportunity to make easy money.
"Thirteen, do that skill," Nox commanded, and the panda walked forward, evenly shifted his weight, and replicated the same skill as Master Parker, stunning all the disciples and Master Parker himself.
"Shit, it really did it! The kid wasn\'t bluffing at all!"
"That skill…no one was able to replicate it, how did this panda do it?"
Master Parker\'s breathing quickened. How was this possible? He couldn\'t believe his eyes and instructed another of his students to demonstrate another skill.
Just like the Dragon Claw, the panda replicated that skill easily and waved it off with a dismissive, arrogant expression on his face.
This irked Master Parker and all the disciples.
"It can\'t be. This panda must be lucky!" Master Parker cursed and called out one of his students to display a skill. He felt it was beneath him to compete with the panda, so he could only send out his students.
The student performed a leg movement technique, and Thirteen did the same, his movement even more fluid.
Seeing what was happening, the passersby started to gather around the courtyard, watching the show. It was the first time they had seen a panda performing martial arts, so it drew quite the crowd.
\'Shit, shit, they are all watching!\' If it were other times, Parker might have been glad people were coming to watch his dojo training, but today it was for the wrong reason! His esteemed dojo was being humiliated right before everyone.
\'This can\'t continue, how will I get future customers like this?\' After the panda replicated the tenth skill, Master Parker couldn\'t take it anymore.
"Somebody go get me Brutus!" he shouted, and one of the students rushed into the dojo and came back a moment later with a large student standing over two meters tall.
