Chapter 501 Three Sets of Combat Techniques
Paisley was lost in thought as she watched Larry mending clothes.
When Larry turned around, she didn't notice.
By the time she realized it, Larry had been watching her for quite a while.
"Done, all done." Larry swallowed and said.
Paisley immediately took the mended clothes from Larry, quickly turned around, exposing her smooth back to him.
Larry saw her full, perky buttocks!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the most primal desire in his heart.
Paisley quickly got dressed.
After Larry calmed down, he picked up his own torn clothes and looked at them - they could still be worn after some mending.
He started mending them.
Soon he was done.
He put on his clothes.
After getting dressed, the two sat by the fire, both falling into silence. Neither spoke, and the atmosphere felt strange.
Larry picked up the wild rabbit that the Free Army soldier had given them earlier and started roasting it over the fire.
He kept glancing at Paisley across from him. Seeing her silent, he also felt the atmosphere was off and wanted to find something to talk about.
"Actually, you have a pretty nice figure."
Larry suddenly said.
"Oh, really?"
Paisley's pretty face showed a touch of shyness and awkwardness. She reached up to stroke her hair falling over her shoulders, trying to hide her embarrassment.
The unnatural expression only lasted a moment.
She quickly recovered, looking at Larry with a playful smile and teasing: "How do I compare to Chloe?"
Larry was slightly stunned. After thinking, he said: "About the same, I'd say."
Larry was telling the truth - they really were similar.
"By the way." Paisley asked with a serious face: "If after we return to Aurora Citadel, Megan releases those photos, the Rivera family cancels the marriage arrangement, Grandpa gets furious and blames me, punishes me, what then?"
She looked at Larry, waiting for his answer.
Larry thought about it: "Didn't you say Cody is preparing backup plans? Even if the photos leak, won't he still try his best to explain?"
"That may be true, but do you think the Rivera family will believe it? If the Rivera family still goes through with the marriage alliance with the Bennett family, what will others think of the Rivera family?"
"What do you think then?" Larry looked at Paisley, not knowing what she really meant by asking this question.
"Nothing."
Paisley shook her head slightly.
She was quite disappointed by Larry's answer.
Perhaps in Larry's eyes, she had no place at all. Even after everything that had happened between them, he still acted like nothing had occurred.
She sat cross-legged and stopped talking.
Larry focused on roasting the meat.
Soon the rabbit was cooked. He tore off a leg and handed it to Paisley, saying: "Have some."
"I'm not hungry."
Paisley didn't even open her eyes.
Larry felt awkward and started eating it himself.
After eating a bit, he also sat cross-legged.
Quietly waiting for dawn.
But the long night was hard to endure.
He couldn't help but take out the combat technique manuals that Paisley had brought and started reading.
These were copied by Cody from the Bennett family's library.
There were three sets of combat techniques in total.
The first was a movement technique called Windwalker Step.
The second was a palm technique called Conqueror's Palm.
The third was a fist technique called Heaven's Gale Punch.
Larry read them carefully.
Seeing that Larry hadn't spoken for a long time, Paisley opened her eyes to look. Seeing him reading seriously, she couldn't help but ask: "What combat techniques did Grandpa give you?"
Larry snapped back to attention and said: "I checked - there are three combat technique manuals. One is Windwalker Step, one is Conqueror's Palm, and one is Heaven's Gale Punch."
After hearing this, Paisley nodded and said: "Yes, very good. These three combat technique manuals were all passed down by the Bennett family ancestors. Each one was a famous combat technique in its time. I've heard of all three. Windwalker Step is an extremely advanced footwork technique - once mastered, you can move freely through an army of ten thousand."
"Conqueror's Palm was created by a Bennett family ancestor eight hundred years ago. It has eighteen moves, each more powerful than the last - dominating and fierce. One palm strike can split mountains and crack earth. All eighteen palms together are unbeatable."
"Heaven's Gale Punch was also created by a Bennett family ancestor several hundred years ago. Once mastered, the punches live up to their name - unpredictable and ever-changing."
Paisley briefly explained the origins and power of these three combat techniques.
"These are all top-level Bennett family combat techniques, second only to the Bennett family Heavenly Thirteen Swords. In the Bennett family, only true core members can practice them, and they must reach a certain level. Grandpa really values you highly to give you such important combat technique manuals."
"They're that powerful?"
Larry was also surprised.
He hadn't expected the three combat technique manuals in his hands to have such significant origins.
"Of course."
Paisley said: "The Bennett family is the leader of the Four Ancient Families. Even in the ancient martial arts world, they're among the best. It's because the Bennett family ancestors left behind many top-level combat techniques. In the entire ancient martial arts world, perhaps only The Zephyr Order can surpass the Bennett family."
"The Zephyr Order?"
Larry was startled.
He knew nothing about the ancient martial arts world.
He had no idea what sects existed or what powerful figures there were.
"The Zephyr Order has always been a pillar of the ancient martial arts world. A hundred years ago, the ancient martial arts alliance leader was The Zephyr Order's master. But after the battle with the Gu raising person a hundred years ago, the alliance leader also died in battle, and The Zephyr Order became low-key. But that doesn't mean The Zephyr Order isn't strong."
Paisley briefly mentioned The Zephyr Order.
She had heard all this from Cody and didn't know much herself.
Larry couldn't help but ask: "What exactly happened with the Gu raising person a hundred years ago?"
Paisley said: "Summer Nation had always been closed off. A hundred years ago, Western technology rose, triggering a series of battles. Summer Nation was also affected and invaded by enemy nations, even to the point of national extinction."
"In Gu raising person, there were three major families - the Harris family, the Scott family, and the Martin family. The three families had always made a living raising Gu. Gu can save people but also harm them. When Summer Nation was in turmoil, the Harris family took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, endangering Summer Nation, wanting to use Gu to dominate the world. Finally, somehow they were brought together, and the three Gu raising person families united to resist foreign enemies."
"With the Gu raising person and countless Martial practitioners joining in, the foreign enemies were expelled, Summer Nation was successfully established, ushering in a new era."
"But the Harris family, the leader of the three Gu raising person families, was ambitious and wanted to become king of Summer Nation. Internal fighting broke out in Summer Nation. Finally, the Summer Nation king united with Martial practitioners and the other two Gu raising person families to destroy the Harris family. Afterward, the king still wasn't at ease and destroyed the other two families as well."
"This battle was the most devastating for Summer Nation Martial practitioners. The alliance leader died in battle, countless strong fighters died. After that, ancient martial arts families, ancient martial arts sects, and Martial practitioners all went into hiding, rarely appearing in the world."
"As they say, behind every success lies a mountain of corpses."
"The establishment of the new Summer Nation came at a terrible price. When the king rose to power, countless people were sacrificed."
"Of course, what happened a hundred years ago was far more than this. The situation was very complex. Even those who lived through it a hundred years ago couldn't clearly explain right from wrong."
Paisley briefly talked about some events from a hundred years ago.
She didn't know much either, only what she'd heard from Cody.
She took a deep breath and continued: "A hundred years ago, if the Harris family had won and the king had lost, the outcome might have been completely different. The king would probably have become like the Harris family is now - everyone calling for their downfall."
"There's no absolute right or wrong, just different positions."
Larry listened carefully.
He hadn't expected the events of a hundred years ago to be so complex.
