Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 209: Chapter 138: Things that Can Be Done Today

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun, acting with utmost urgency, encountered difficulty as soon as they reached the pier.

Who wouldn’t fear death daringly enough to take them in that direction now that the Jiaolong Association was causing trouble on the waterways?

Thus, despite the bustling activity at the wharf due to the Yunyang Trading Company’s ships being intercepted by the Jiaolong Association, finding a boat willing to transport them was out of the question.

After searching around, only one old man, tempted by the offer of silver, was willing to sell them a small sampan.

As for getting someone to take them to the Jiaolong Association?

The old man thought he’d like to live a few more years.

Once the sampan was in the water, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun stood aboard, exchanging glances in silence.

Finally, they both looked at the oars…

Without a word between them.

“Sister Xiao Yun, do you know how to row?”

Su Mo was the first to break the silence.

“Although Luoxia City is indeed neighboring Nanhai, and most of the Phoenix Alliance’s business involves maritime trade…

“But… Iron Blood Escort Agency has only dealt with overland business. In this aspect, I am truly… hmm, lacking in all but one.”

Yang Xiaoyun spread her hands out to Su Mo.

The corner of Su Mo’s mouth twitched, throwing back the sarcasm Yang Xiaoyun had once used on him: “At a time like this, you still joke about such things.”

Then he fell into deep contemplation, looking at the little sampan and the vast river.

Yang Xiaoyun contemplated for a moment: “Shall we go ask someone else?”

Before she could finish, the boat shuddered. Wobbling unsteadily, it had already drifted away from the shore.

Looking up, she saw Su Mo pressing down with a single palm, obviously urging forward with his Inner Strength.

“You’re rowing the boat with Inner Strength?”

Yang Xiaoyun was startled: “Is that safe?”

“Let’s try.”

Su Mo said: “We have no other choice now, and on water, unlike on land, one must always be vigilant for incoming enemies. But if anyone approaches, kill first, ask questions later.”

“…Once you’ve killed them, what’s there left to ask?”

Yang Xiaoyun couldn’t help but laugh and admire Su Mo’s exceptional Inner Strength Skills.

This method couldn’t be achieved just by leveraging powerful Inner Strength.

What was most crucial, was the meticulous control over one’s own Inner Strength. If the force was too weak, they wouldn’t move; if too strong, the boat would capsize.

However, at this moment, with the boat’s stability, it was evident how strong Su Mo’s control was.

After an initial trial, Su Mo simply stood at the ship head with his hands behind his back, channeling his Inner Strength through his feet into the water, propelling the boat faster and faster.

To the extent that at the beginning, Yang Xiaoyun stood on the boat feeling the wet, cold wind slicing past.

Later on, she grew worried about Su Mo capsizing the boat and quickly made sure to hold onto the side to stabilize herself.

Su Mo’s feet seemed as though they had taken root.

Those who could not sleep through the night at the Three Rivers Bay Pier occasionally looked up to see a small boat speeding along the river.

Quick as an arrow, steady as Mount Tai!

A girl sat quietly on the boat, while at the ship head, a man with a Sword Box on his back held one hand behind him, his hair lifted by the cold wind, riding the waves with an air of elegance.

“Who is that?”

“The oars aren’t moving; how is the boat propelled?”

“He’s moving it with Inner Strength, what a marvelous technique!”

“The Jiaolong Association is doing as they please; is there a master seeking to settle scores with them?”

“They’re moving so fast!”

Amid the discussions, Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun had already left the Three Rivers Bay Pier, heading eastward and downstream.

Upon formally entering the waterway, they encountered currents far more turbulent than near the docks.

In an instant, even with Su Mo’s Inner Strength guiding the boat, it shook a few times.

But that lasted only a moment; soon, it stabilized.

Traveling Along the River, rough waves surged – the boat amidst them like a leaf in a wild storm, dancing atop the crests.

Yang Xiaoyun gradually recovered from her initial panic, watching the scenery fly past, the thrill rising in her heart.

She stood, stretching her arms.

Despite the winter cold, the penetrating wind felt bone-chilling, yet with her martial arts, she circulated warmth through her body, not only feeling no cold but as if she were one with the wind, as carefree and elegant as if she were walking on waves.

“Xiao Mo!”

She couldn’t help but speak out: “When you row the boat, shall we take a turn out on the sea?”

“Nanhai?”

Su Mo asked.

“That’s right.”

Yang Xiaoyun said, “Though it’s called Nanhai, we’d actually head southwest from the estuary. I’ve heard that the Nanhai Islands are also home to numerous Sects, each with its own rules. The world is vast and boundless; the Ziyang Escort Agency of old only traversed Donghuang, but now it falls to us – can we traverse the whole world?”

“Hahaha.”

Su Mo laughed: “With Sister Yun’s interest, how could I not accompany you? In the future, together, we shall travel all around the world, not just Nanhai but Beichuan, Xizhou, too.”

“Agreed!”

Yang Xiaoyun laughed: “When we’ve traveled the world, no matter where we go, you mustn’t leave me behind.”

“Of course.”

Su Mo turned to glance at Yang Xiaoyun, extending his hand.

Yang Xiaoyun’s face flushed slightly, but she stepped over nonetheless.

The sampan wasn’t large; if ordinary people walked across it, and both stood at the ship head, it would surely flip.

But Su Mo, skilled as he was, would not let the boat capsize.

Taking hold of Yang Xiaoyun’s hand, they stood side by side at the ship head, sailing swiftly with the wind, moving with the current.

In the blink of an eye, the Three Rivers Bay Pier was already a distant memory.

Their mode of travel was certainly much faster than riding a horse.
