Chapter 28: Want to practice this skill, you must first...

Andrew and the others were left dumbfounded, taking quite a while to react. "Luke, do you realize what you just said!" Andrew exclaimed angrily. Luke calmly replied, "I am well aware of my words. Mr. Cornell is an esteemed guest of our Silver Snow Mountain. I will not allow anyone to insult my guests! I suggest you all leave immediately, or I will call security." Compared to Jonathan, who was a distinguished guest of the Silver Snow Mountain Villa number one, Andrew was dispensable. He was just a potential buyer. The villas in Silver Snow Mountain always had a market. Even if Andrew didn't buy, there would be others. "Impressive, keep boasting. Who was it just now who said I was just a laborer?" Jonathan immediately mocked. The faces of Andrew and the others turned green. They heard Luke's words very clearly. Distinguished guest! It was impossible for them to believe that Jonathan, a country bumpkin, was their distinguished guest. "Haha, you guys should roll out of here. Do you dare to oppose my brother? Are your faces not slapped enough yet?" Benjamin also burst into laughter. These guys tried to cause trouble for his brother and got slapped in the face. Luna was stunned on the spot. She felt as if her worldview had just been refreshed. Jonathan was actually Luke's distinguished guest. To her, this was like a wild tale! But Luke didn't seem to be joking at all, which made her start to doubt herself. Could it be that she had misjudged? Was Jonathan not an ordinary person? "Folks, I don't want to embarrass you. If you don't leave Silver Snow Mountain within five minutes, I will call security immediately," Luke issued the final ultimatum. Jonathan shrugged, "What are you waiting for? Are you planning to spend a few days in jail?" Whatever Andrew had said about Jonathan, he returned it back to him in kind. "You! Humph, Jonathan, don't be too proud. One day, I will make you regret this! Let's go!" After that, Andrew led Luna and the others away, his face ashen. Watching them leave, Luke turned to Jonathan, "Mr. Cornell, I didn't expect such a thing to happen today. On behalf of Silver Snow Mountain, I apologize. This won't happen again." "Forget it, it's not your fault. It's those jerks who provoked me," Jonathan casually replied. Luke nodded, "If there's anything you need, just call me directly. I'll send someone to assist you right away." "That sounds comforting, thank you." After a few more words, Luke left. As soon as Luke was gone, Benjamin eagerly asked, "Brother, when are you going to teach me martial arts?" "I'll teach you now. Don't worry, with me here, I'll make sure you become a master!" Jonathan said. "That's great! Teach me some powerful martial arts, like the One Finger Zen, Six Pulse Divine Sword or something." Benjamin's eyes lit up, as if imagining himself roaming the martial world, righting wrongs. "Uhh... bro, those are just in novels. There's no such thing in real life," Jonathan said. "What, there isn't?" Benjamin's eyes widened, "Then what about Nine Yang Divine Skill, Desolate Soul Annihilation Palm?" "Also... there isn't." Benjamin collapsed onto the ground, "Bro, don't tell me even Jade Maiden Heart Sutra doesn't exist." "I have Sunflower Treasure and Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual. Which one do you want to practice?" Hearing this, Benjamin was stunned. Weren't these the skills you had to... before you could cultivate? He sat on the ground and thought for five minutes. He felt neither was appropriate and couldn't help but say, "Bro, aren't there any impressive sounding martial arts?" He felt his martial arts dream was about to be shattered. Jonathan thought for a moment, "There are, but are you sure you want to practice?" Benjamin immediately jumped up, "Yes! With such good martial arts, of course I want to practice. What's the name of the skill?" "Turtle Shell Divine Skill. How about that name? Sounds cool, right?" "Of course, that's... wait, what? Turtle shell?" Benjamin's eyes widened. He thought Jonathan was tricking him. "This is the best martial art I could think of. Dragon Claw, Eagle Claw, Southern Fist, Northern Kick, they're all inferior in front of it!" Jonathan said. Benjamin stared at Jonathan, "Really?" "If I lie, I'll never be able to pick up girls again!" Jonathan swore. Seeing Jonathan swear, Benjamin finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll learn it. I just hope you're not tricking me." Seeing Benjamin agree, Jonathan sighed in relief. Last time when Benjamin said he wanted to learn martial arts, Jonathan had the opportunity to check out Benjamin's physique and found that he had a rare Black Tortoise physique. Jonathan had read in a book by the Four Madams that it was very difficult for people with the Black Tortoise physique to cultivate martial arts. What ordinary people could achieve in one year, the Black Tortoise needed ten. It was because of this that only a few martial arts were suitable for the Black Tortoise physique, and Turtle Shell Divine Skill was one of them. However, Jonathan didn't plan to tell Benjamin about his Black Tortoise physique right away, fearing it would discourage him. He would tell him when the time was right. Don't judge the Turtle Shell Divine Skill by its name. Many people would love to practice it if they had the chance. It's priceless. Benjamin was lucky this time. After teaching Benjamin the Turtle Shell Divine Skill, Benjamin began to practice according to Jonathan's instructions. This training lasted for more than an hour. "Bro, this is too exhausting. Is there a more relaxed version?" Benjamin, panting on the ground, asked. Jonathan replied irritably, "Damn, if there was such a good thing, wouldn't I have practiced it already? Would it be your turn?" He had been stuck at the sixth layer of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon for several years without making a breakthrough, and it was driving him mad. "Is there a quick way to become a world-class master in a few days?" "Yes, there is." Benjamin's eyes lit up, "What martial art? Teach me quickly!" Jonathan glanced at him, "First become a eunuch, and I guarantee you'll be a world-class master within a year." "This... forget it," Benjamin quickly said. Wasn't this the Sunflower Treasure and Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual? If he practiced this, his dad would kill him. "So bro, have I officially started?" Benjamin quickly asked. "Started? It's still early. You have to practice for at least half a month to be considered a beginner," Jonathan said. "So, will I be powerful when I become a beginner? Can I fight fifty people alone like you?" Jonathan shook his head, "No." "Then... can I fight twenty-five?" Jonathan continued to shake his head. Benjamin became anxious, "Five would be enough." "You can't even fight one, you'll just be a bit more resilient than before," Jonathan shrugged and said. "Then what's the point of me practicing this? Damn, you tricked me!" Benjamin was furious. Jonathan retorted, "Who tricked you? Once you master this skill, you can smash a boulder with one punch. When others hit you, it'll feel like they're hitting steel. It's even more impressive than the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt! If you don't want to practice, it's fine with me, I don't want to teach you anyway!" Damn! Is this Turtle Shell Divine Skill so impressive? Benjamin immediately reacted and hurriedly approached, "Bro, I was wrong. I apologize." "You are a Young Master. This Turtle Shell Divine Skill is not worthy of you. You should find someone more capable." "No, no, no. It's worthy, it's worthy. Can't I practice well!" Seeing Benjamin capitulate, Jonathan didn't say anything more. He didn't lie to Benjamin. Once the Turtle Shell Divine Skill was practiced to a certain level, the body would become incredibly hard. Even a knife couldn't hurt Benjamin at all! The Four Madams once told him that there were many martial arts masters in this world. Jonathan always wanted to challenge these masters, but unfortunately, he hadn't encountered a martial arts master since he came to the Skyward State. "I hope I can meet some in the future." Jonathan thought to himself. At this moment, Benjamin apologized, saying, "Brother, I was wrong earlier. How about this? I'll take you to a fun place, and we can have a good time together. What do you say?"
