Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Innate Earth Spirit Root"The simplest way to confirm an Innate Spiritual Root is to feel the bones!" Fang Bai said sternly, "Let me feel your bones and I can determine whether you have an Innate Spiritual Root." "If so, can I then learn Martial Arts from you?" "Yes." "So, you touched Ye Wumei’s body to find out that she has an Innate Spiritual Root?" "Of course." Tang Wenrou stopped speaking and gazed intently at Fang Bai, trying to discern the truthfulness of his words from his face. Tang Wenrou still remembered that when she learned Ancient Martial from Nunnery Master Jingxian in her early years, the master never mentioned anything about "feeling bones." So why did it come down to this when it came to Fang Bai? Although Tang Wenrou had never experienced this "bone feeling" herself, she had a rough understanding of what it meant just from the literal interpretation of the words. The thought of Fang Bai’s hands roaming over her body made Tang Wenrou feel a warmth spreading through her. If Tang Wenrou hadn’t had numerous dealings with Fang Bai and hadn’t understood his character very well, she surely would have thought Fang Bai was using "bone feeling" as an excuse to take advantage of others. "Don’t get any weird ideas!" Seeing the guarded and wary expression on Tang Wenrou’s face, Fang Bai knew she had misunderstood, and with a wry smile said, "When I ’feel bones,’ there’s no need to touch the whole body, just one hand will suffice. Left for men, right for women; for women, it’s the right hand." Seeing Tang Wenrou’s hesitation, Fang Bai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whether to feel the bones or not is your decision... Sigh, after talking for so long, I’m thirsty." He saw a teacup on the office desk beside him, grabbed it and tilted his head back to drink. "You..." Tang Wenrou watched the teacup in Fang Bai’s hand and opened her mouth to speak. "What is it?" Having drained the water from the teacup in one breath, Fang Bai casually placed the cup back on the desk and, noting Tang Wenrou’s blushing face, asked curiously. "That’s my cup!" Tang Wenrou pointed to the teacup Fang Bai had used to drink water and stamped her foot as she spoke. "No wonder there was a faint fragrance from the tea..." Fang Bai murmured to himself, then slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, my apologies! I was really thirsty just now... Officer Tang, don’t be angry, I’ll buy another one for you later!"

Recalling the saying that sharing a cup was akin to an indirect kiss, Fang Bai couldn’t help but glance at Tang Wenrou’s fresh and rosy lips, then let out a "heh" of a laugh. Tang Wenrou, apparently catching the insincerity in his laughter, glowered at him with a mixture of shyness and annoyance and huffed, "What are you laughing at?" "Do you still want to learn Martial Arts? If after feeling your bones we confirm you have an Innate Spiritual Root, and you’re willing to follow me in training, I can assure you that within one year, your strength will surpass that of your master, Nunnery Master Jingxian." Fang Bai knew he couldn’t continue on this topic or he might truly irritate Tang Wenrou, so he swiftly changed the subject. In fact, without the need for bone feeling, Fang Bai, based on his own experience from reincarnating, could almost conclude that a stunning beauty like Tang Wenrou, so rare in this world, had a very high likelihood of having an Innate Spiritual Root. Therefore, to get Tang Wenrou onto the path of Martial Dao and not waste such a fine cultivatable talent, Fang Bai began to dangle bait. Sure enough, Tang Wenrou was tempted. Her master, Nunnery Master Jingxian’s current realm was Yellow Level Perfection. Surpassing her master would mean that she would become a Profound Level Martial Artist, wouldn’t it? After a moment of hesitation, Tang Wenrou walked to the office door, gently closed it, and then returned to Fang Bai’s side, extending her right hand in front of him. Fang Bai knew she had been persuaded by him and smiled, reached out with both hands, grasped her slender and delicate jade-like hands, and began to carefully feel them. The process of feeling her bones was slow, and to ultimately confirm his judgement, Fang Bai extended his examination from her palms to her elbows. Tang Wenrou, already sensitive by nature, blushed and sweated at the tip of her nose, her body going soft, barely able to stand steady as Fang Bai touched and pinched her. "Are you... done yet?" Tang Wenrou steadied herself using the office desk and couldn’t help but ask, her tone carrying a hint of coquettish irritation. "Mmm. Done," Fang Bai replied. Seeing Tang Wenrou’s altered expression, Fang Bai gave it a thought and understood the reason, smiling as he said, "Officer Tang, congratulations! Just like I imagined, you indeed have an Innate Spiritual Root suitable for cultivation. Star Ye has a Wind Spirit Root, and you have an Earth Spirit Root." "Earth Spirit Root?" Tang Wenrou blinked, curiously asking, "What does Earth Spirit Root mean?" "Earth Spirit Root means you can cultivate Earth Element Techniques," Fang Bai explained patiently. "Earth Element Techniques focus on defense. When you cultivate to a high level, the armor you form with Earth Element Qi will be impervious even to missiles..." "Impervious to missiles? Fang Bai, are you joking?" Tang Wenrou appeared to hear something out of a fable, a look of disbelief written all over her face. In Tang Wenrou’s view, even the world’s strongest Martial Artist could only dodge ordinary bullets; defending against missiles was completely impossible, unless one belonged to the legendary class of immortals and deities. "Believe it or not, up to you!" Fang Bai knew that this matter far exceeded Tang Wenrou’s imagination, and it was premature to discuss it with her now, so he refrained from elaborating further. "If I learn martial arts from you, can I do so without taking you as my master? You know, I have already taken Nunnery Master Jingxian as my master..." Identified by Fang Bai as having a "Spiritual Root," Tang Wenrou felt both joy and excitement, yet also a bit apprehensive, not knowing if Fang Bai would accept her condition. Being able to learn martial arts from Fang Bai could mean not falling too far behind him in strength, and more importantly, it meant more opportunities to see him. "Of course, you can," Bai Fang said with a smile. "Even if you didn’t mention it, I had no intention of taking you as my disciple. I’ll just teach you Martial Arts, and our relationship will remain as friends." "Can I tell my master about this when I go back?" "Whatever you want. If Nunnery Master Jingxian wants to learn something from me, I can teach her too. But when I healed her last time, I already knew she didn’t have an Innate Spiritual Root, so I can only teach her some basic Martial Arts. Still, it will be much more powerful than what she knows." "I’ll convey your words to my master. Whether to learn or not, I’ll let my master decide." "Heh, after talking so much, it’s almost twelve o’clock... Let’s go, time to eat!" The two left the police station and went to the nearby Tianbao Hotel. They sat down in the "Bamboo Rhyme Hall" on the second floor. Fang Bai grabbed the menu that the waiter handed over and rapidly ordered a dozen dishes. Although Tang Wenrou had eaten with Fang Bai twice before and knew about his astonishing appetite, she still felt that ordering a dozen dishes for two people was a bit much. "Not too much! Not too much at all!" Hearing Tang Wenrou complain about having too many dishes, Fang Bai laughed and said, "My appetite grows with my strength. Don’t worry, a dozen dishes won’t be wasted—not even a bit!" (After finishing the book, cast your vote; a clear spirit and a healthy body!)
