Keira sized up the current second-greatest expert of
the Freeman Sect as soon as she entered.
Chris sat on the meditation cushion, appearing quite youthful; with a daughter at Kate’s age, he should be nearing fifty, but he seemed to be only in his thirties.
Exercise could indeed make one look younger.
She followed James and Kate through the door and immediately noticed Chris’s gaze bypassing the other two and falling upon her.
Then, Chris’s eyes slightly lit up!
Originally, when James suggested his sister become a nominal disciple, Chris was rather reluctant. He wasn as prestigious as the Sect Leader, who had accepted only one disciple,
It was clear that the number of disciples Chris had could be counted on one hand.
Each disciple’s spot was very important, wasn’t it?
But who could ignore that James was his favorite senior disciple? And he had heard this sister was Uncle

Olsen’s daughter… Uncle Olsen even called him last night!
+27
So, to show respect to the Olsen family, he would have to accept this disciple.
It was initially somewhat forced, and he didn’t understand why a highborn lady would want to learn martial arts; but when he saw Keira’s steps as she entered, he straightened up a little.
They were all martial practitioners, with light footsteps.
However, this fact was usually overlooked, as ordinary people had heavier footsteps when they walked.
At this moment, the footsteps of James and Kate we light, yet he didn’t hear a third set of heavy footsteps
He couldn’t help but glance at the three people’s feet and saw Keira walking with grace, reminiscent of hist elder brother.
She was like a high-level master hiding her true capabilities.
This piqued Chris’s interest; he examined Keira’s face, then smiled, “I’ve heard you’re called Keera Olsen.

Have you spent all these years as an Outer Sect
Disciple?”
Keira nodded.
Keera Olsen, it should be, then…
If her sister acknowledges her ancestry, she should take the Olsen surname too, right?
Chris then asked, “How long do you practice martial arts each day in the Outer Sect?”
Keira thought for a moment. “One or two hours, I
guess.”
Chris frowned slightly, “That short?”
“Yes, because I also have other matters to attend to,”
Keira explained.
Chris felt a twinge of disappointment, wondering if he had misjudged, and then remembered Keera seemed to have been pregnant and given birth in recent years.
One of the challenges for women in martial arts was precisely that.
When men attained martial prowess, their muscles and bones would no longer undergo changes.

But women experienced changes in their physique after childbirth; their bones would shift, altering their body constitution.
Many female martial arts experts were formidable at first, but after having children, they couldn’t maintain their skill…
Of course, there’s another scenario, where the woman had soft bones and no talent before childbirth, and then a genetic transformation occurred after giving birth.
Chris had already inquired about Keera before she arrived.
When she was younger, she visited Elder Grant for bone assessment several times but was never chosen! Even in Outer Sect practice, she wasn’t particularly famous; those who were good were well-known.
But Keera had no such reputation.
Could it be that her impressive physique had transformed after childbirth?
At that moment, Chris wanted to test her martial arts level himself.

So, he immediately stood up from the meditation
cushion. “Keera, come, let’s go outside and spar a bit.”
As these words were spoken, James and Kate immediately stepped in front of Keira and then turned their gaze toward Chris.
“Master, didn’t we agree that she would just be a nominal disciple? Let’s not spar, shall we?”
“Dad! You don’t know your own strength! What if you
hurt little sister?!”
After saying that in unison, they exchanged glances and then looked toward Chris again.
“Master, I think Kate is right!”
“Dad, James is right!”
Chris didn’t know what to say.
He twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but say, “Do you two really trust me so little? I think Keera has a talent for martial arts, and by the look of her, she seems to have some foundation. I just can’t figure it out, which is why I want to test her a bit. Besides, how will I know how to teach her martial arts
if I don’t test her first?”

James said, “For just a nominal disciple, do you need to take it so seriously?”
“Exactly. James is right, if you train Keera until she’s all stiff and brawny, I won’t like to touch her anymore!”
…
Chris and James simultaneously turned to look at Kate, who immediately covered her mouth.
How did she carelessly blurt out what was on her
mind?
Chris ignored the two of them and just looked at Keira. “Shall we go?”
Keira nodded. “Okay.”
If she was going to become an apprentice, then she would learn earnestly.
However…
She suddenly said, “Senior, there’s something I need to tell you. I’ve already had a master.”
She had a master.
Even if she were to take another master, the first one would still take precedence.

Upon hearing this, Chris chuckled. “I know, you must have a master. However, that’s not a problem. Martial arts itself is one family. If your master comes and learns you’ve taken me as your master, he would only be delighted because no one could possibly rank higher than me. Oh, except for the Sect Leader.”
James also said, “That’s right, who’s your master? After you’ve taken my master as yours, his status in the industry will surely rise along with the tide.”
Keira said, “Well, I’ll tell him the next time I see him.”
The key was that she didn’t even know her own
master’s name!
While chatting, the group arrived in the courtyard, where Chris stood in the center, tucked the hem of h robe into his waist, and then looked at Keira.
Keira then assumed an attacking stance.
This position was taught by her master and just happened to be the most basic stance in the Freeman Sect, something even the outer sect disciples would have learned, so no one noticed anything amiss.
Chris smiled. “Young lady, when you attack me, use all
vour atranath I want to see how for you’ve gotten ”

Keira nodded earnestly. “Okay.”
James couldn’t help but say, “Master, please be gentle. She’s my only sister! Uncle Olsen only has this one. daughter!”
Kate also expressed her concern. “Dad, isn’t it embarrassing for you to strike a woman? If you want to practice, I’ll spar with you. Don’t go after Keera!”
Chris laughed. “What do you know? The Sect Leader will be coming for today’s apprentice ceremony. We still have ten minutes before the time I arranged with him. It’s better to spar a bit than to sit idly waiting for him.”
After that, he beckoned to Keira. “Alright, come o
Keira nodded.
Since James’s master wanted to test her, and this wa the most formidable martial arts family in Crera, she would show her true skills!
Thus, Keira put her whole strength into it and threw a punch directly at Chris!
