Chapter 372: Chapter 372

Some people who comprehended sword arts could be much stronger than those who hadn't comprehended anything. The most terrifying thing was crossing an entire major level - meaning someone like Xiaoyao at Mid General Level could face off against Mid King Level.

Of course, it wasn't just sword arts - blade arts, spear arts, and so on were all the same. As long as you comprehended that kind of Way, you could similarly improve your practical combat strength greatly.

However, those who could comprehend weren't ordinary people. They were generally genius figures and very rare. Moreover, the level of comprehension also affected strength changes, which was hard to explain clearly. Perhaps precisely because it was hard to explain clearly, this wasn't included in the general martial power value standards.

However, generally speaking, the ordinary martial power value standards applied to ninety-nine percent of people, and the higher the level, the more accurate it became!

Those who could reach that level were all extraordinary figures, all geniuses. The top-tier ones were naturally geniuses among geniuses. They would more or less have comprehension, which made the standards even more accurate.

Among those at Emperor Level and above, it was very, very rare for the standard measurements to be wrong. One might not encounter such situations in a lifetime, so gradually, no one considered it.

These few sword strikes from Xiaoyao at least proved he had the potential to become a great figure. For such a person to be merely a small servant (they had this information!), this made them increasingly believe that his boss truly had such strength.

What they didn't know was that Xiaoyao's sword was generally decorative, and he rarely drew it. The reason he drew his sword to catch fish this time was just because he had just comprehended those ten moves of the Supreme Sword Arts and still had some lingering inspiration.

"Still not talking? Then forget it. I won't give you any to eat - this is your loss!" Xiaoyao said while instantly processing the fish with a small knife. This movement was even faster - they couldn't even see what happened before a fish was completely cleaned.

This was related to martial techniques, but it was just Xiaoyao's good knife skills. Many good cooks could do this.

"You also know cooking? Then let me try your fish." The green-clothed woman said. From the knife work, this kid's culinary skills weren't weak.

From this behavior of the green-clothed woman, Xiaoyao could tell she was a foodie. Otherwise, why would her eyes light up upon seeing his cooking skills?

The yellow-clothed woman wanted to remind the green-clothed woman and called out her name. This name made Xiaoyao almost spit out his food. He hadn't expected this green-clothed woman to have such a distinctive name - Cuihua...

"Don't call me by my name. Call me Little Cui or Little Hua - don't keep calling me Cuihua!!" The green-clothed woman, namely Cuihua, was somewhat frustrated. This name was really a bit rustic, like a farm woman.

However, this name was given by her parents, who were ordinary farmers. It was just that after some incident, she was adopted by someone. At that time she was already somewhat grown and knew her name, so she had been called this until now.

"You are originally called Cuihua. What's embarrassing about it? You weren't willing when asked to change it either."

"That was when I was small. Now thinking about it, I regret it. I should have listened to Master's words and changed it."

"Alright, it's grilled!"

"Eh, the taste is pretty good. Give me another one!!"

At this moment, if anyone saw this scene, they absolutely wouldn't believe that both sides were preparing to fight and kill. It was more like young men and women out on a picnic.

"What are you doing? Are you here for a picnic?"

A voice appeared, questioning this with puzzlement. This voice was somewhat cold and seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this situation. Just this little bit made Cuihua and her companion feel very fearful.

Because this voice belonged to their immediate superior!!

"Miss, I was waiting for your instructions. Why did you come personally!!"

Cuihua and her companion immediately stood to one side, maintaining distance from Xiaoyao, as if they hadn't just been sitting together eating grilled fish. However, they were thinking that the grilled fish really tasted good - they should have eaten more if they had known.

They actually felt somewhat regretful, which seemed to be a situation they hadn't thought of before. Why would they think this way?

At this moment, they didn't think much about this, just felt it was a bit strange why their miss would personally take action. This didn't seem necessary. Fınd the newest release on novel⸺fire.net

But thinking about it, Miss sometimes acted this way without reason. Previously she had gone personally for no apparent reason, making it really impossible to guess her intentions.

Xiaoyao also recognized this voice. He could now be more certain that this matter was related to what he heard in the woodshed that time, because this voice belonged to that woman from then.

Previously he had only heard her voice without seeing her. From the voice, she should be a beauty. Now it seemed that not only could she be explained as a beauty - the word "peerless" should be added before beauty. Moreover, this beauty's attributes were very alluring - the kind that could bewitch people to death without even making any movements.

Using Xiaoyao's professional terminology for this kind of woman: four words - naturally charming bones!

If she cultivated charm techniques, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort, with effects increasing geometrically.

"You still remember me, right?" The naturally charming woman looked at Xiaoyao and asked, unconsciously revealing a trace of charm. If someone had slightly weaker willpower, they would definitely be bewitched.

She felt that Xiaoyao should obediently speak up. If he had heard her voice, he should say he remembered.

"I don't remember!" Xiaoyao shook his head, pretending to be bewitched, without any flaws. Even his eyes looked like those of someone who had been charmed.

The naturally charming woman fell silent. At that moment, she felt Xiaoyao should be telling the truth. She wondered if she had made a mistake. If she had, then this matter would end here.

She felt something was off but couldn't think of where the problem was, and kept looking at Xiaoyao.

"Miss, there's a problem! He seems to be pretending." The yellow-clothed woman said. She understood what the naturally charming woman was thinking. From her observation of Xiaoyao just now, she felt he shouldn't be unable to resist even this level of charm.

Even if he couldn't resist, he should at least show some behavior of resistance. Just now, Xiaoyao had suddenly entered a bewitched state without any prior warning.

This was a flaw, but if one wasn't carefully observing, it couldn't be detected.

"No, I'm not pretending. I really don't remember. Who are you?" Xiaoyao smiled and returned to normal. Since he had been seen through, there was no point in pretending.

Xiaoyao's behavior didn't make the naturally charming woman feel slapped in the face, but rather found it interesting. The way she looked at Xiaoyao even made him a bit embarrassed.

It wasn't that Xiaoyao was thin-skinned - it was really that this naturally charming woman's bewitching power was too great, making him feel a tiny bit unnatural. But this was just a tiny bit - there wasn't much change.

This made the naturally charming woman find it even more interesting. Just now when she looked at Xiaoyao, it wasn't just a simple look - she had also released some of her charm techniques. Although not at the limit, not many people could withstand it, especially when the opponent was just General Level - this was absolutely unique.

She perhaps didn't know that Xiaoyao could be said to be immune to charm techniques, unless her realm could be much higher than Xiaoyao's. But was this possible?

Even on this Sacred Continent, purely in terms of realm, Xiaoyao rarely had opponents. Not to mention her - even people several levels stronger than her didn't have as high a realm as him, so naturally they couldn't bewitch him either.

Originally, charm techniques could instantly kill people of the same realm, and even those several realms higher might not be able to withstand them. This was also the characteristic of charm techniques. However, this had a limitation - the target had to be male. For women, it was much weaker, and those of the same realm could generally resist.

Also, if someone had cultivated Buddhist or Taoist mind-calming techniques, these charm techniques would become useless. Unless they were naturally charming, otherwise even if others were one or two realms lower, they could still resist.

Very unluckily, Xiaoyao had studied both, so even if she had naturally charming bones, she still couldn't bewitch him. Even if Xiaoyao's realm was a bit lower, it would be difficult, let alone that Xiaoyao's realm was a monstrous existence.

Fortunately, she didn't continue using charm techniques, otherwise even using them to the limit wouldn't be able to take down Xiaoyao, and she might even be taken down by Xiaoyao!

Using charm techniques to the limit had certain consequences. If you couldn't bewitch the opponent, there would be a reverse effect - you would be bewitched by the opponent. Because of this, without confidence, those who cultivated charm techniques wouldn't use them to the limit. Generally, they would use thirty to forty percent of their power, at most eighty percent.

At eighty percent power, even if you couldn't bewitch the opponent, you still had strength to withdraw, avoiding that kind of reverse effect.

Now, this naturally charming woman didn't want to do anything too strenuous to Xiaoyao. If she wasted too much energy, she felt it wasn't worth it.

"Tell me, were you sent by someone to spy on us?" The naturally charming woman didn't ask anything else, just wanted to know if Xiaoyao had come to deal with her.

As for what Xiaoyao had overheard, she actually didn't think it needed to be pursued. To deal with an Emperor Level Peak figure like that would be too strenuous.

"Who are you?" Xiaoyao said the same thing again.

"Remember me, I'm called Heart Moon Fox." The naturally charming woman gave a name, which was quite suitable for her.

"A nickname?" Xiaoyao asked puzzledly. He clearly knew that Heart Moon Fox was one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, belonging to the Eastern Azure Dragon. It wasn't impossible for someone to use this name, but generally speaking, this was too much of a coincidence.
