âThere are eighteen shadows right now. Yiya, can you figure out which one is the real me?â
It required excellent visual abilities and judgment to find the real body through the afterimage, which wasnât easy for an ordinary martial arts practitioner.
Of course, if he could perceive ki, he could also distinguish the truth from the lie through ki senses. However, ki sensing hadnât even been mastered by Muyang, let alone Yiya.
Upon facing this strange trick used by his senior brother, Yiya smiled bitterly. He now understood the difference between them.
Yiyaâs face became serious. Since his eyes couldnât tell which one was the real one, he would have to rely on brute strength.
Peng Peng Peng!!!
Yiya swung his fist and attacked fiercely. He was extremely fast, and the dozens of disciples present, including the villagers watching, couldnât see his movements.
When Yiya shattered the seventeenth remnant, his face was happy, he clenched his fist and attacked the last one.
Whew, it was empty. Yiyaâs fist punched through the last remnant, but the result was the same as before, the fist went right through the remnantâs chest.
It was another empty one.
âThis one was also false,â Yiyaâs mind screamed. He suddenly felt a hint of trouble.
At that moment, Muyangâs figure suddenly appeared behind Yiya, raising his palm blade and slashing towards Yiyaâs neck.
âOne last thing, I want to tell you. Since weâre rivals, donât believe anything I say. When I say that Iâm among the eighteen remnants, do you really believe that?â
âUh⌠âYiyaâs eyes rolled back, as Muyangâs palm blade landed on his neck. The sudden impact was making him dizzy and faint straight away.
âAso, take Yiya away.â Muyang beckoned to Aso.
When Aso brought Yiya away, he turned and looked around at everyone and said, âThose words earlier were meant for you as well. Always be vigilant when you go out, donât believe everything others say.â
âWe understand, senior brother.â
âUnderstood!â
All of them had just gone through a realistic version of an education. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, especially those martial arts practitioners who had made their way outside and knew better that it wasnât an ideal paradise.
âHmm.â Seeing that everyone had taken his words seriously, Muyang nodded his head in satisfaction. If it had been Mexia, she probably wouldnât have been so obedient.
After having a word with everyone, Muyang walked out of the martial arts dojo and wandered down the street by himself.
Shortly after Muyang left, Yiya awoke from his blackout. When he heard his fellow disciple relay Muyangâs words, he couldnât help but sighed, âLooks like weâre far apart from senior brother.â
âYeah, Senior Brother Muyang knocked you out with a single hand blade.â Ness covered her mouth and laughed.
Yiya gave her a blank look and said in a bad mood, âIf it were you guys, it wouldnât be much better.â
Aso said indifferently, âSenior Brother Muyangâs strength is definitely on the same level as several teachers. He may even have truly surpassed everyone in the Heavenly Sky School, just like what the teachers said.â
âMaybe⌠thatâs right!â The rest couldnât help but be silent. Only April had absolute faith in Muyangâs strength. However, she had only practiced martial arts for a few days, so her eyes were dripping. She couldnât understand what some of her brothers and sisters were saying.
âŚâŚâŚâŚ.
On the not particularly busy streets, the villagers drove their cattle and sheep across the road, with blacksmith shops and grocery stores on either side.
A little further on, there was a restaurant, which was considered a rare place that people used to spend time in the Ten Mile Countryside.
As he walked into the restaurant, he casually found a window seat. When the waiter came up, Muyang ordered a side of fried beans and some meat.
The fried beans here were fried in oil and tasted crisp and crunchy, while the meat was brined with special techniques to make it tasty and oily, but not greasy.
At this point, Muyang was here to enjoy it.
âMuyang, itâs been a long time since the last time you came here.â A sweet female voice sounded, and a girl dressed as a waitress came over with a plate of snacks.
The girl had dark blue hair. She was the daughter of the restaurantâs owner.
Because they used to take Mexia down the mountain for fun, this restaurant was often the place they visited. As time went by, they became familiar with the person in front of them.
âSister Marlene, Iâm not here to take care of any business. So, please, have a seat!â Muyang smiled lightly and pointed down to the seat across from him.
Marlene simply sat across from him and smiled, âItâs been a while. What have you been doing?â
âI went out for training.â
âTsk, youâve got a great reputation now, the whole village knows you.â
Marlene was talking about Muyangâs achievement of the World Martial Arts Tournament, which was a rare piece of news for the not-so-large village.
Muyang nodded proudly and smiled, âI even got to meet Mexia on this trip, and that girl is missing her home right now.â
âSpeaking of which, Mexia has been away for over three years now. When will she come back? I miss her so much. âMarleneâs face showed a hint of nostalgia as she thought of Mexia as her little sister.
âI donât know. Itâll be a few years until she finishes her studies, maybeâŚâ
The two of them chatted like siblings until the restaurant grew crowded with customers, and then Marlene got up to help in the back kitchen.
Before she left, Marlene suddenly said for no reason, âBy the way, when little Mexia comes back in the future, do you have any plans to marry her? According to my sense, you two are quite a good match!â
She leaned in and whispered, âIâve heard that several sisters from nearby villages are asking about youâŚâ
âIf you donât want to marry little Mexia, talk to me, and Iâll find one for you?â
Muyang was stunned after hearing this, and replied, âI wonât bother my senior sister about this, youâd better find an heir for your familyâs restaurant first.â
âHehe, shame on you. You donât have to tell me; I already found a good man.â
âDid you really find a good man?â
âOf course!â Marlene said proudly.
âWell, big congratulations to you then. So, when are we going to have a wedding treat?â Muyang gave his blessing.
âSoon. So be sure to give me your blessing!â
âDefinitely.â
Muyang nodded, and after Marlene left, he continued to sit alone by the window, enjoying the drink and food.

However, what Marlene had just said seemed to have taken root and rippled through his heart for some reason.
It had been almost five years since he arrived in this world, and the years to come would be even longer, so it was time to think about it.
Well, he considered himself a small success now, so there was certainly no need to worry about that.
However, Mexia was a good candidate, she had a good background since she was a child, and the last time he saw her, he thought she was getting prettier every day.
