Miss from the Countryside, Chapter 480: The Origin of Internal Power Chapter 480: The Origin of Internal Power Lu Yun repeated the words softly, thinking and thinking, yet still couldn't grasp their meaning. He looked at Tie Xinlan with a look of confusion, saying, "Miss Xinlan, could you please explain it more simply? I'm not quite understanding." But this power is only felt at the very moment of contact—on the outside, the movements don't seem particularly vigorous, as if there's no strength at all. Just like the punch I just delivered—it appeared soft and weak, yet only through direct experience can one truly understand it. Iron Xinlan walked over, helped Lu Yun up, and patiently explained. Lu Yun nodded thoughtfully, as he had indeed not expected such force from her earlier. If facing an opponent, this punch would surely have caused serious injury—perhaps even broken bones or torn ligaments—since her iron sand palm technique was no exaggeration. Iron Xinlan smiled and said, "You first need to master the form of the fist technique. Inner power, however, cannot be grasped overnight." Lu Yun nodded seriously. This trip hadn't been in vain at all—he now finally understood what inner power truly was. Thinking of the character "qín" (diligence) written by the ancient figure on the scroll, Lu Yun suddenly felt a sense of promise ahead. "Moreover, the martial art relies equally on hand, eye, body, posture, and step—without any one of these elements—and even more importantly, on the strength of the sinews and bones. You must pay close attention when practicing." Lu Yun rubbed his chest and said, "Heartlan, you're not my teacher—you're my sister. Tonight I'm not going back. I'm going to try to channel that internal energy to a specific part of my body and see if my combat strength has improved compared to before." As he spoke, he turned and slammed onto the bed with a loud thud. "Little brat, you're not leaving me tonight." Iron Heartlan didn't move to the bed; instead, she casually sat in the chair by her desk, smiling gently at Lu Yun. "Why not?" Lu Yun propped himself up and asked. "No reason at all. Tonight, you've been so noisy that I've lost my mood for battle. Even if I manage to fight you, I simply can't perform at my usual level. You're unhappy with me, and I'm equally unhappy." "Lu Yun really left Li Xinlan feeling utterly shaken when he was the Director of the Education Commission. This little troublemaker has only grown more brazen—despite holding the Director's leverage, he should at least have signaled his intentions. Li Xinlan's heart was nearly knocked right out of her chest with fear; where was any energy left to fuss with him? 'Xinlan姐, just lie down on the bed and rest. I'll handle everything else. I may not be the best at fighting, but I'm quite good at this kind of thing, aren't I?' After saying this, Lu Yun quickly got off the bed and walked briskly toward Li Xinlan, smiling sweetly and shyly. 'Go on, then! I'm not a mummy, just lying there for you to do with as you please!' Li Xinlan gave a sharp reprimand, waving her hand to push away Lu Yun's reaching hand. Lu Yun sighed and reluctantly pulled his hand back. Suddenly remembering something, he flashed a mischievous smile and whispered into Li Xinlan's ear, 'Xinlan姐, have you recently had relatives visiting you? Is that why you're feeling a bit constrained?' Tie Xinlan was taken aback, then waved her hand lightly across his face: "You kid, how do you know everything? Stop talking nonsense—no matter how much I say, it just doesn’t work. I won’t put up with any lackluster performance." Looking at the gentle blush rising on Tie Xinlan’s cheeks, Yun Lu murmured softly, "When you come to visit relatives, just take good care of yourself. If you feel anything at all, I’ll bring you some medicine—just take it, and it’ll definitely help." "Go on, I didn’t come to visit relatives!" Tie Xinlan blurted out, only realizing afterward that she had spoken too soon. Seeing the look on Yun Lu’s face, she knew he already believed she was experiencing something. Now that she had said it, the little troublemaker would surely keep pursuing her. Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, Yun Lu burst out in joyful excitement, wrapped his arms around her delicate neck, and smiled: "I thought I really was visiting relatives! Well, good—since I didn’t, let’s get ready for battle!" With a sudden dip of his body and a swift extension of his arms, he firmly lifted Tie Xinlan off Tie Xinlan was just about to struggle, but suddenly realized that Lu Yun's injured right hand, and immediately stopped her struggle, asking in surprise, "What happened to your hand?" "Nothing serious, just a little fall. I'm fine, Xinlan sister. You still need to calm down and prepare yourself for the storm that's coming." Lu Yun placed Tie Xinlan on the bed, smiled gently, and then suddenly launched himself upon her. "Don't rush me like this! Slow down!" Tie Xinlan called out urgently. This little rogue was getting more and more fierce—she never knew how to be tender and gentle... ...For novel reading and downloads, visit the updated fast novel section: / Rural Beauty 480, Main Text 480 - The Beginning of Inner Power - Updated!
