Screw your strength!

"I'm going to kill you, bastard!!!"

Seeing Xu Fan sauntering over with a flippant look, Gongsun Qin picked up the longsword and lunged at Xu Fan!

Oh crap!

This woman was actually getting serious with him. Xu Fan was startled and instinctively dodged backward.

"Qin Er, with your current skill level, it's not suitable for you to spar with me. Hmm, after you finish watching those videos, come find me in my room."

"Also, sparring like this, we don't use weapons."

Xu Fan had just evaded Gongsun Qin's barrage and began earnestly advising her.

When she heard him mention those raunchy videos he had on his phone, Gongsun Qin was almost driven to tears!

Who the hell needs you to teach me this shameless crap!

The more she looked at him, the more detestable she found him! The sword moves in Gongsun Qin's hand grew even more fierce.

Xu Fan watched and shook his head with a wry smile.

She had been feeling wronged all day, so letting her vent in this manner wasn't too bad after all.

Right then, he started exchanging blows with Gongsun Qin.

Having recently absorbed four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade, the spiritual energy gathered had brought him a not insignificant increase in strength. After exchanging over thirty moves with Gongsun Qin, Xu Fan felt quite good.

Feeling that she had vented enough, he began to back away.

"Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest. Otherwise, I'll start taking off my pants."

"You!"

As Xu Fan spoke, one hand reached towards the bathrobe wrapped around his lower half.

Given his personality, if she lingered any longer, he really might strip.

Having sparred with him, her mood had lightened considerably. Gongsun Qin gave Xu Fan a resentful look before heading straight out of the bedroom.

"This woman..."

As he watched Gongsun Qin leave, Xu Fan couldn't help shaking his head.

Not too worried she would turn around and attack him suddenly, Xu Fan crossed his legs and sat down in the bedroom, preparing to absorb the remaining Jiuyang Warm Jade.

...

After a night of continuous cultivation, another four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade were expended.

At this point, of the twelve Jinyang Warm Jade pieces, only four remained. The spiritual power contained in the eight pieces had propelled Xu Fan's cultivation level straight to the great achievement of the Innate realm, close to perfection.

However, the closer to the end, the smaller the effect provided by the Jiuyang Warm Jade.

Whether the last four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade could allow him to break directly through to the peak, Xu Fan felt was an uncertainty.

He wasn't eager to bite off more than he could chew; after all, martial cultivation was a slow and steady journey. Xu Fan let out a breath of stale air and jumped up from the bed.

After a simple wash-up, Xu Fan headed outside.

It was likely just after her morning practice. As he walked into the living room, he saw Gongsun Qin carrying a sword, coming from outside the villa.

It came as a pleasant surprise to him; the woman had changed into the sportswear they bought yesterday, no longer wearing the light blue robe from before.

Thanks to her years of martial arts training, her figure was very impressive. The sweat induced by the morning exercise made the sportswear cling tightly to her body.

Breasts, perky buttocks, slender waist—it left little to the imagination.

Such a treat early in the morning made Xu Fan's mood rather good as he squinted and took a few more glances.

"Good morning, Qin Er."

Seeing Gongsun Qin looking his way, Xu Fan greeted her cheerfully.

Obviously still miffed with him, Gongsun Qin gave a half-hearted smile and considered it a response.

"Spill it, how are you planning to trick me today?"

As she spoke, Gongsun Qin, sword in hand, walked over to him.

Having just finished her morning exercise, there was a faint, alluring scent coming from her as she approached.

Xu Fan laughed and said, "Nothing special today, let's just have a sword match."

"Heh."

Hearing Xu Fan's suggestion, Gongsun Qin scoffed directly.

She gave Xu Fan a disdainful look and said, "No need to compare, I admit defeat."

"Hmph, the number one scoundrel in the world."

"..."

Seeing Gongsun Qin's disdainful expression, Xu Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"I was talking about comparing swordsmanship..."

He quickly explained and pointed to the sword in her hand.

Now that his power had increased, Xu Fan wanted to test just how much he had improved from before.

Gongsun Qin's cultivation level should also be at the Great Achievement of Innate; he figured she was only slightly inferior to him.

If he fought with her, he should be able to clearly understand his own progress.

"Still not interested in comparing."

While his own idea was indeed good, after hearing his explanation, Gongsun Qin still rejected him.

Looking at her now, drenched in sweat, Xu Fan couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Out of stamina?"

She had just finished her morning practice, so challenging her to a swordfight wasn't exactly appropriate.

"I have more than enough."

Gongsun Qin immediately denied Xu Fan's speculation. She had only gone out for a light exercise.

She undoubtedly had enough energy left to fight another round with Xu Fan.

However...

Gongsun Qin looked at Xu Fan and said with a cold laugh, "If you use cunning tactics, winning means nothing, and if you don't, you simply can't beat me."

"So, there's no point in this swordfight."

Gongsun Qin was always confident in her own strength.

She still believed that the last time she lost to Xu Fan was solely due to his cunning tactics.

If they fought fairly, he would never be her match!

This time leaving home for experience, she only wanted Xu Fan to teach her the ways of the world.

As for her swordsmanship?

Gongsun Qin felt Xu Fan wasn't qualified to teach her.

"You sure are proud, aren't you?"

Looking at Gongsun Qin's smug expression, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

She had the nerve to be so arrogant with him after losing?

Real combat doesn't have rules; it only matters who survives in the end.

How could she not understand this?

"Fine, since you want a fair swordfight, I'll give you a fair fight."

"We won't fight for nothing, if you can beat me, these four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade are yours."

As he said this, Xu Fan took out the four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade he hadn't yet used and placed them on the table.

With a slap, he set them down on the table.

"This?"

Looking at the four gleaming pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade on the table, Gongsun Qin was shocked.

This guy is just finding ways to give me the Warm Jade, isn't he?

Without his cunning tactics, he still thinks he can win against me?

Within a hundred moves, I can put my sword against his chest, for goodness' sake!

"Are you sure, you won't use those cunning tactics?"

She had learned quite a lesson just yesterday, so she didn't immediately agree upon seeing the four pieces of Jiuyang Warm Jade but instead asked cautiously.

Who knows if this guy is setting another trap for her.

Getting her to compare swordsmanship just to test her own strength, Xu Fan could only say, this woman was thinking too much.

"Don't worry, however you normally spar with others, that's how I'll spar with you."

"How about it? Do you dare?"
