Chapter 70

"Heh, coming to my place bright and early, couldn't wait, could you."

Lin Yunqing saw the pinned chat window light up with a red dot, and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a wickedly confident smile.

"Perhaps, this is the Goddess's attraction."

Lin Yunqing, who normally hated getting up before noon, instantly broke free from the bed's sealing.

She had already thought: once she finished building the Primary Meditation Room, plus the other few good things she'd purchased.

She'd throw them in Assistant Teacher Qin's face, and this kid would still obediently let her manipulate and toy with him.

"Heh heh heh heh... training the Martial God! Looking across the Star Sea, who can achieve such a feat!"

Lin Yunqing hurriedly washed up, put on her clothes, went down to the garage and got into that Han Hai Conqueror, not forgetting to stick a high-end moisturizing face mask on her exquisite face along the way.

It was truly sparks and lightning all the way, rushing out of the Villa District in a tearing hurry.

Forty minutes later, that Han Hai Conqueror drove through the iron gate, returning to the underground garage once again.

"Teacher Lin, troubling you to pick me up and drop me off every time, really sorry about that."

Qin Shi thanked her sincerely; the dog woman might be occasionally unreliable, but she won points for enthusiasm, always ready to help — if she were a man, he'd definitely kowtow and become sworn brothers with her!

"Just a coincidence. I have a habit of morning training, just went out and received your message, so I drove over since it was on the way."

Lin Yunqing made it sound light and easy, as if it were a trivial effort.

"Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin, has your life force still been growing recently?"

Qin Shi got out of the car, closed the door, and followed her into the elevator:

"Pretty slow. Currently stuck at eighteen points, half a foot short of breaking through to nineteen points."

Lin Yunqing's face couldn't help but twist for an instant, she controlled her expression with extreme difficulty, making herself look less struck.

Think of her — training hard for a whole year, painstakingly adjusting her nutrition structure, strictly following a supplement schedule, consuming all models of energy liquid.

Under such effort, she only just barely reached the critical value of eighteen points.

This kid, easily and effortlessly, just stepped past it!

"Calm, calm. The deeper the potential of a financial product, the greater the return on investment."

Lin Yunqing silently comforted herself.

Anyway, the environment she grew up in since childhood — monsters everywhere, geniuses a dime a dozen.

In life force development she'd suffered setbacks time and again, long since used to it.

"Looks like Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin breaking through the twenty-point barrier is just around the corner. Even without my help, getting into Qiguang Heng University's Martial Arts Department wouldn't be hard."

Lin Yunqing couldn't help feeling smug, secretly thinking:

"Good thing I'm clever enough, knew Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin's life force grows fast, icing on the cake means little, chose to start from mental cultivation instead, giving timely help to move him!"

The two arrived at the basement; track spotlights lit up in sequence, soft and not glaring, illuminating the spacious space incomparably bright.

Lin Yunqing skillfully activated the computer, connected the game helmet.

Swish!

Qin Shi closed his eyes and opened them again, like passing through a pitch-black tunnel, the Virtual Combat Room interface suddenly appeared.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding——

Topping the username 【Nine Heavens Thunder Twin Feet Kick】, the moment he came online he was bombarded by dense-as-raindrops messages.

"This many people applying to add me as a friend?"

Qin Shi froze.

Am I this popular?

Clicked one open to look.

A full hundred-plus friend requests, plus all kinds of greeting messages.

【East Wind South Crossing: In? Martial Arts Department junior Ji Yuqi, want to get to know you.】

【Man Among Men: Old Martial Arts faction smashing the scene? Begging for a beating!】

【Luo Xiaobai: Gentle personality, cute girl voice, talkative, lively, great mentality, kneeling and begging for big shot's friend slot!】

【Zhang Dameow: Hey hey hey...】

Qin Shi quickly scanned, swiftly discovered 【Cat Head Killer】, decisively accepted the friend request.

……

……

Beep!

The round-faced boy idling on the forum suddenly received a message notification.

He didn't rush to open it, busy replying to posts instead — last time Qiguang Heng University's shocking appearance of an Old Martial Arts practitioner, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, drew close attention from many senior brothers and sisters.

Especially Senior Brother Ji publicly claiming he'd designate that mysterious person as "this year's Martial Arts Department's Ultimate Insult."

Whoever loses to this Old Martial Arts practitioner from the Shen Neng Xi Department gets nailed to the Shi Chi Zhu and repeatedly whip-corpse'd.

For specifics, refer to Qi Wuxiang's Star Cup debut first battle back then, stepping on the then-dashing Yue Zilun's head.

Result: the latter, despite superior life force, was shattered in three moves, becoming a laughingstock ever since.

Every time Qi Wuxiang's legendary deeds are mentioned, Yue Zilun gets dragged out and lectured about, even written into Martial Arts Department teaching materials as a negative typical example.

Counts as an extremely special way of leaving his name forever on the Star Cup's crown pedestal.

【Cat Head Killer: Most likely got beaten so bad, had his dao heart shattered by us New Martial Arts practitioners, gave up the Martial Artist Path.】

The round-faced boy typed.

He'd specifically checked the other party's battle record that day — solo queue sixty-nine matches, all losses, nearly seven pages full of glaring crimson "Defeat" characters.

If it were me, I'd quit the internet addiction and uninstall the game right there.

【Pei Tugou: What a pity, finally ran into this kind of interesting thing, I even borrowed a junior's account, planning to play a round.】

【Lu Shiping: Me too, I agreed to treat Junior Brother to two meals just to borrow a low-rank account! What a rip-off!】

"That guy's Life Force Development Level isn't high; he was taught a lesson by us New Martial Arts practitioners, so it's normal he'd retreat knowing the difficulty."

The round-faced youth shook his head; with so many Senior Brothers and Sisters expecting to watch the fun, if he could take down that 【Nine Heavens Thunder Double Feet Kick】 of unclear origin again.

He himself could become a campus celebrity in one fell swoop!

"I'm in!"

While the round-faced youth pondered, he opened the message and discovered the previous friend request had been accepted.

【Nine Heavens Thunder Double Feet Kick】, online!

Immediately after, the chat interface popped up.

【Nine Heavens Thunder Double Feet Kick: Want to start a match?】

【Kitty Head Killer: Sure!】

【Kitty Head Killer: Big shot, wait a moment!】

【Kitty Head Killer: Give me five minutes to put on pants!】

The round-faced youth was both startled and delighted, and swiftly switched to the forum to make a post.

【Wonderful Livestream! Martial Dao Department Limit Flow versus Shen Neng Xi Old Martial Arts!】

He gritted his teeth and went to the mall, recharged to purchase Live Streaming Permission, opened the Real-time Delivery function, then set a threshold of "pay a gift worth fifty bucks" to enter the room.

After doing all this, the round-faced youth couldn't help but exclaim he was truly clever!

This wave reaps both fame and profit!

……

……

"Accept duel invitation?"

Qin Shi calmly watched the message pop up before him, thoughts flashing, chose to accept, and strode through the glowing Door that had lit up.

Just like last time, a cool-looking silver-haired Handsome Man descended from the sky, landing heavily on the broad arena, air currents surging on all sides with a booming rumble.

"The skin effects are quite conscientiously done! Qi Guang Heng University's Shen Neng Xi and Mechanical System big spenders, treating the Virtual Combat Room like a pay-to-win online game!"

Qin Shi silently slandered, that dog woman really spends money lavishly; this set of Expensive Fashion plus Dazzling Wings probably costs enough for me to eat Nutrient Paste for two months.

"Huh?"

He quickly noticed something wrong; compared to before, how come there were quite a few more "Audience" outside the arena this time?

Whoosh! Whoosh-whoosh! Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh——

Only to see streaks of light fall like rain, landing one after another, transforming into rows of virtual figures appearing in the arena seats.

In a spot Qin Shi hadn't noticed, the display showed the Spectator Count for this room had already exceeded one hundred.

"Sorry about that! Old Martial Arts little brother!"

Still in the Four-corner Underwear naked male getup, 【Kitty Head Killer】 sent a voice chat, sounding like he had victory firmly in hand:

【91】 "Sorry about that! Old Martial Arts little brother!"

"This bro is Martial Dao Department sophomore Luo Wenbin! Losing to me is no unjust loss for you!"

Watching the Spectator Count climb steadily, all kinds of little gifts floating across the screen, the round-faced youth's heart raced with excitement, completely unable to suppress that strong impulse to show off a wave.

Qin Shi did not reply, maintaining his cold and lofty image, planted the Battle Flag representing the combat signal on the Floor, and waited for the Countdown to end.

5、4、3、2、1——

"Based on experience, a surprise Rush Punch is more likely……"

The instant it hit zero, a judgment flashed in Qin Shi's Brain Sea.

In the Consciousness Space, using the 【Combat Retrospection】 Skill, he had played several hundred identical matches.

Therefore, out of instinct, the idea of stepping back then executing a Side Step dodge flashed through his mind.

And at that same moment, the round-faced youth Luo Wenbin directly erupted with all his Qi Life Force, his whole body vibrating with extremely dazzling Silver Ripples, like a Giant Stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge sheets of Ripples and spray.

Limit Flow - Giant Wave Strangulation!

The Silver Ripples, like wave after wave of ferocious towering waves, surged toward Qin Shi alongside 【Kitty Head Killer】's near-teleportation surprise attack!

Boom!

As if a thunderclap exploded on flat ground, the arena was torn with several Cracks; the Silver Ripples surged like a rushing torrent, and the fist containing terrifying force actually missed.

"Something's wrong!"

The round-faced youth Luo Wenbin's heart shook, his heart giving a startled thump.

How could the opponent possibly see through my Attack Path?

"Sorry, A-Bin."

The ever-silent 【Nine Heavens Thunder Double Feet Kick】 finally spoke; the instant the voice chat sounded.

Qin Shi, who had barely avoided the Limit Flow Signature Killing Move, likewise activated his Professional Skill.

Wind Fist Style - Wind Roar!
