Chapter 37: Military Boxing, Bionic Style

Holy crap!

So the twenty "Foraging" completions required for the 【Overgrowth】 upgrade meant this?

Qin Shi's throat moved involuntarily, his body seeming to activate some kind of switch, allowing him to clearly smell the alluring scent on Teacher Lin.

A maiden's delicate fragrance mixed with the instinctive attraction of a female creature, like a stimulating pheromone that amplified the senses.

No different from before a hot pot, mixing a bowl of soul dipping sauce that would make even a shoe insole taste good.

Completely irresistible!

Gulp.

Qin Shi swallowed again, his gaze indifferent yet burning, like a diner staring at the meat on a plate, devoid of any emotion yet impatient to swallow it into his belly!

"Dead brat……"

Lin Yunqing tilted her head, about to talk tough, but met that gaze looking down like a superior on the food chain.

Thump!

Her heart turned cold, as if falling into an ice cellar.

"I'm actually afraid? Damn it! This time, it's my Dao Heart being ruthlessly trampled!"

Lin Yunqing involuntarily lowered her head, her whole body trembling.

Her originally tough posture collapsed in an instant, like a pitiful little stray dog by the roadside, unable to stop herself from wagging her tail and begging to be fed.

The reason was that this female teacher very truly felt.

This genius boy of the Old Martial Arts faction in front of her seemed to really not mind wiping her out?

Like fish meat on a chopping block, to be slaughtered at will.

Thus, an inexplicable sense of fear arose spontaneously!

How old is he? How much blood is on his hands?

He actually already has this kind of ruthless temperament that kills like hemp and regards life as grass?

"I really am hungry."

The text information of the Retina Spiritual Field Imprint flickered in and out of existence; Qin Shi paid no attention to Lin Yunqing's expression changes, subconsciously raising his palm.

【Junior Achievement - Overgrowth】

【Trait: Extremely sensitive to substances rich in high nutrition and high energy, and possesses absorption and digestion capabilities exceeding those of the Same Kind.】

"So practitioners with higher Life Force Development Levels also count as a kind of 'high nutrition', 'high energy' food.

But I'm not Hannibal; I really can't bring myself to bite my own kind."

Qin Shi suddenly realized, the moment he resolved his confusion, the whole person felt like he had been doused with a basin of ice water, instantly sober.

He suppressed the abnormal hunger sensation, preparing to pull the kneeling Teacher Lin up.

But discovered his palm had already, at some unknown time, tightly clamped around the other's slender neck.

Strong knuckles pressed into the delicate skin, the touch extremely fine.

On Teacher Lin's pretty face hung a heavy look of terror.

I seem to be a bit scary right now?

Won't be taken for a natural-born killer, right?

Qin Shi coughed lightly twice, hurriedly speaking:

"Sorry, Teacher Lin, I used a bit too much force just now. Are you okay?"

Lin Yunqing's delicate body stiff, like a log, was helped up by Qin Shi.

She had lingering fears:

"Elder Brother told me, Old Martial Arts people all draw blood when they move, see blood when they feud, they're lunatics, absolutely must not provoke lightly.

I didn't believe it before, this time I've learned my lesson!"

"Teacher Lin, are you okay?"

Qin Shi scratched his head, asking again.

How is this dog woman acting like she's been scared stupid?

That punch of mine hit the eye socket, not the brain.

How come after the beating, her eyes are clear instead, looking a bit dazed?

"Assistant Teacher Qin, just now I was in the wrong, I offended you. I apologize to you……"

Lin Yunqing looked aggrieved, like a frightened little girl.

"Went from a Northeast Tiger to a Golden Shaded cat again, voice even more affected. What trick is this dog woman playing?"

Qin Shi frowned secretly, quietly pulling away distance.

In case Teacher Lin turns hostile without warning, suddenly sneak attacks.

He has always understood, women don't speak reason, and even less do they speak martial virtue!

"I know you Old Martial Arts people value rules, no challenge letter, rash challenge, public guidance, disregarding status…… these are all taboo behaviors."

Lin Yunqing took a punch, instantly became honest, sincerely admitting fault.

If acquaintances saw this, the most famous crazy woman in the Taian Metropolitan Area.

Acting obedient like a little kitten in front of students, would probably drop their jaws.

Our Old Martial Arts?

Qin Shi's gaze was strange.

What exactly did this dog woman imagine?

Directly a huge attitude change!

"No wonder they say, a woman unvirtuous, Deliberate Cannon Fist!

After the lesson, they still won't let me sit at the table to eat — truly the wisdom of the older generation!

Qin Shi joked silently, repressing that trace of surprise, quickly slipping into the role of a "reclusive lone sprout of the Old Martial Arts school":

"Making friends through martial arts was also a fine tale in the past. Teacher Lin's lineage doesn't seem to come from a top university professor."

Every time she recalled Qin Shi's indifferent gaze, Lin Yunqing felt fear from the bottom of her heart, as if her Dao heart had truly been shattered, no longer possessing her previous condescending, playful mindset.

Her voice was timid:

"My 'Three Emperors Cannon Fist' is a family heirloom,"

Isn't Three Emperors Cannon Fist part of the Old Martial Arts school?

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes; the "momentum" contained in Lin Yunqing's fighting style didn't seem much like the Old Martial Arts school that emphasizes natural celestial phenomena and spiritual insight.

"My grandfather improved it, deriving from Old Martial Arts and absorbing Military Boxing moves."

"The so-called Three Emperors are: Heavenly Emperor Anti-Aircraft Cannon, Earthly Emperor Tank Cannon, Human Emperor Cannon."

"In detail, there is also a version called 'Sea-Land-Air Amphibious Cannon Fist,' taken from 'ship cannon,' 'machine gun,' and 'howitzer.'"

Lin Yunqing explained seriously with a straight face.

I'm so afraid you'll say something like "Nuclear Light Wave Fluctuation Fist," "Ten Thousand Radiations Converging to One Palm," or "Magnetic Field Rotating One Million Horsepower"!

Qin Shi's mouth corner twitched, and he couldn't help but slander inwardly.

If one says the Old Martial Arts school is the ultimate torture for masochists,

the New Martial Arts school looks like a fool who misallocated points on the technological tree.

Using a mortal body, muscle power to simulate the fission reaction of hot weapons?

It truly gives a sense of confusion as if "physics no longer exists."

"I study Military Boxing, Bionic Style. Fists and feet like cannon shells, body techniques like armored vehicles and fighter jets; every fighting technique and move is modeled after modern weapons."

Seeing Qin Shi was interested, Lin Yunqing took the initiative to say a few more sentences.

I very much doubt whether there are still "Two-Dimensional Paper Palm," "Water Droplet Ship-Destroying Art."

High martial bionics, indeed enough to be crazy!

If I devoted myself to the New Martial Arts school, could I comprehend "Two Bombs Fist," "One Star Finger," "East Wind Guiding Seal"?

Qin Shi shook off miscellaneous thoughts, timely stopped the topic, and instead asked about the hoodlums who had caused an uproar.

"These people, Teacher Lin, do you know their origin?"

"Just a house dog raised by some nouveau riche."

Mentioning unrelated idlers, Lin Yunqing's facial color turned cold all at once, and she restored her original intellectual temperament.

"Assistant Teacher Qin need not worry; I will naturally solve the trouble for you."

She took out a touchscreen mobile phone, swiped open the screen, and dialed a number.

……

……

The two top universities in the Taian Metropolitan Area are Qiguang Heng University and Jia Kai University of Technology respectively.

They have a long history and profound origins, founded respectively by Wei Qiguang and Zhu Jia Kai, two pioneers in the fields of machinery and psychic ability of Dongxia, and have been passed down for several thousand years until today.

Qiguang Heng University, the office of the Director of General Affairs, the red landline connected to the internal line rang dingling.

Lin Xiaohan, in his forties, in the prime of life, picked up the handset.

After simply listening for a few seconds, his expression turned helpless:

"Little sister, how many times have I told you, don't call this phone unless it's official business."

"Brother, I'm being bullied!"

Lin Xiaohan shook his head:

"Use titles when working! At home you are my little sister, here……"

"Here, you are Director Lin who educates people and serves citizens, I am a student of Heng University, and also a good citizen of the Taian Metropolitan Area! Don't you have an obligation to help me solve my worries and difficulties?"

The retort from the other end of the phone was merciless.

"Fine fine fine, I can't manage you, go back and let your father teach you a lesson! Tell me, what trouble have you caused again? Whose young master did you hit? Whose Big Boss's face did you step on?"

"You almost broke a leg of someone surnamed Qin, were exiled to the Youth Palace to reflect on your mistakes, how are you still not behaving!"

Lin Xiaohan felt mentally tired; this little sister of his had been mischievous and combative since childhood, especially after learning New Martial Arts from her father, she had beaten up all the young masters in the Taian Metropolitan Area.

Anyone who was blind, approached her to put on airs, and flaunted wealth, all ended up with swollen noses and bruised faces.

"That person surnamed Qin provoked me first, the most annoying dog thing who likes to show off!"

Lin Yunqing on the other end of the phone revealed her true nature, no longer appearing dignified and elegant.

"There's some cat or dog who knows where he came from, called Long Ge, who showed up at the Guojin Center last time, and this time rushed to chase me, bringing a group of Little Brothers to block people at the Youth Palace."

Lin Xiaohan furrowed his brows, only saying one sentence:

"Wait for me a moment."

He hung up the phone and dialed another white landline.

"Secretary Xu, come in for a moment, go check, is there anyone called Long Ge in Tai'an?"

After about half an hour, Lin Xiaohan received a paper archive in his hand.

"Wang Long?"

Secretary Xu stood respectfully:

"I had a friend pull up the surveillance from the Youth Palace side, verified the situation, it's him. A small-time hoodlum who doesn't appear on the surface, these past few years he followed engineering contracting to earn some money."

Qiguang Heng University belongs to the Dongxia Education Bureau, not only possessing nearly independent administrative power, but its status in all aspects is only slightly inferior to the Governor's Mansion of Central City, standing on equal footing with the high-level administrators of the Urban Circle.

Asking the Inspection Department for help couldn't be simpler.

It's just that Secretary Xu was full of confusion, how could someone like Wang Long be worthy of appearing on Director Lin's desk?

"Mm."

Lin Xiaohan nodded, intending to close the file and be done with it, when a detail caught the corner of his eye:

"His boss is Qin Lihao?"

Secretary Xu had skimmed it beforehand, memorized the key points, and had a clear picture in mind:

"Yes, Qin Lihao's Yu Hai Construction company has grown larger and larger these years; Wang Long is a capable general under his command.

Right, Yu Hai Construction is currently preparing the bidding plan for the Old Factory Street shantytown renovation, linked to the Dangyang East Suburbs redevelopment project being pushed for the second half of the year."

The Urban Circle's top brass are circling land again?

Lin Xiaohan's fingers tapped the file envelope:

"Little sister just beat Qin Zhijie a while ago, and today she was bullied by Qin Lihao's subordinate. Our Lin Family and the Qin Family really do clash."

After brief consideration, this Heng University General Affairs Director who had been parachuted in from Yazhou smiled:

"Tomorrow I'll rally the students to hold a debate, publicly discussing land expropriation and forced demolition actions that endanger citizen safety and collective interests during urban construction, publish the content in the campus newspaper, then invite the Urban Circle TV station for a special interview.

Additionally, I personally hope the Urban Circle's various departments will conduct a large-scale investigation and rectification of such vicious conduct."

Secretary Xu listened with a slight shock in his heart; they say a new official sets three fires on taking office.

This Director Lin's first fire — why does it burn so inexplicably?

You should know, the education systems of Heng University and Ke University have always kept to their own spheres with the Urban Circle administrative system, never interfering with each other.

"Assistant Teacher Qin, solved it!"

Lin Yunqing looked immensely pleased with herself:

"My place is pretty big, want to come over and hang out later?

Your Old Martial Arts faction's secret technique really is extraordinary; with Qi Life Force around twelve points, you beat me at nearly nineteen points."

I'm at fifteen points myself!

Qin Shi didn't make a sound; Life Force Development Level can only be roughly judged through Breath wave peaks and technique movements.

At least, everyone below Amateur Level Second Dan is like this.

"Teacher Lin, does your home have testing instruments installed?"

Qin Shi, who had originally wanted to refuse, suddenly asked.

"Mm."

Lin Yunqing pondered for a moment, then gave her answer:

"Can have, can install."
