Liu Shan Men and the Three Departments - Daluo’s Stance

　　"Wait, wait, ow, ow, ow, Young s.h.i.+yi, stop tugging my ear!"

　　Young s.h.i.+yi shook her supple and smooth hand… I was cool with that - as long as my ear wasn't in her hand while she shook it. She dragged me into my room as I cried, kicked the door shut, and then inspected the room. She pulled out a piece of copper and threw it at the ground hard but no so hard she'd generate a shockwave. That was actually a display of very profound strength, since she was able to contain the sound of it hitting the ground within the confines of the room.

　　Young s.h.i.+yi could tell where someone hid or what they fumbled through when she silently listened to the sound emitted. The technique was taken from my s.h.i.+fu's Heavenly Net Sacred Records. My grandmaster possessed profound skills, while my s.h.i.+fu was a man of bizarre ideas. That was the reason his Heavenly Net Sacred Records contained a plethora of unorthodox moves and techniques. Whoever wanted to learn my s.h.i.+fu's style, required exceptional talent, or they could be stuck toiling away their entire life with nothing to show.

　　The technique Young s.h.i.+yi utilised was called Ultimate Listening. The method granted the user enhanced hearing within a certain range. The unique aspect was nothing would be missed within said range. Eavesdroppers, scouts and everything else could be picked up on.

　　My internal strength was advanced enough to hear an enemy's heartbeat if they hid in the room. Still, it wasn't fool proof. There were many unique or unbelievable individuals out there in the pugilistic world who could use their breathing to conceal their body temperature, heartbeat and breathing, allowing them to feign death. In that scenario, I couldn't hear anything from them. Ultimate Listening, however, could test for life. Hence, the user would be able to pick up on the action the feigner used to conceal their status.

　　Told you my s.h.i.+fu came up with lame techniques. n.o.body but he would come up with such pointless and lame techniques. With that being said, I had yet to come across a superior scouting technique. Young s.h.i.+yi only ever used it when something major happened.

　　Young s.h.i.+yi cupped her ears to focus in on the surrounding sounds. She looked cute with that hand posture. She went from looking suave to serious. I couldn't find the words to describe her adorableness. She was bullying me, but look at her; she was lethally cute.
