"You're playing with fire!"

Shi Qing flipped over, turning passive into active, using her fragrant lips to invade Jian Ya's small mouth.

However, for some reason, a feeling of repulsion surged within her heart.

The usual romantic allure was absent in this moment.

Instead, a sense of resistance filled the air.

Shi Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her inner thoughts as tumultuous as a stormy sea.

At this moment, Jian Ya began to regain the upper hand, using her tongue to pry open Shi Qing's lips.

In the past, whether it was Jian Ya or Shi Qing, they would start feeling passionate by now.

But at this moment, neither of them felt any emotion.

It felt like mechanically completing a certain action.

It was as if they were missing some emotional catalyst between them.

Even dry wood needs a spark to ignite.

Clearly, what they lacked was that spark.

Shi Qing was bewildered by this change in herself.

This wasn't the first time she had done this with Jian Ya.

In the past, they had always been joyful.

But now, she felt no desire at all.

No matter how passionate Jian Ya's kisses were, they couldn't arouse her inner desires.

For a moment, she couldn't quite discern whether it was because Jian Ya couldn't stir her desires, or if she had lost interest in Jian Ya.

"Could it be because I saw Qin Chuan and Yaya together, making me instinctively reject Yaya?" Shi Qing couldn't help but think to herself.

"What's the matter? Can't you do it?"

Jian Ya playfully looked at Shi Qing.

This sentence, when directed at the strong Shi Qing, was as effective as saying it to a man.

Spurred, Shi Qing pinned Jian Ya to the sofa and started tearing at her clothes.

Jian Ya didn't resist, her expression playful, allowing Shi Qing to strip her completely bare.

"Does a woman's body still attract you?" Jian Ya teased.

Shi Qing, burning with anger, pinched hard at her soft chest.

Jian Ya's expression instantly contorted, letting out a muffled groan of pain.

In her fury, Shi Qing leaned down on her chest, her mouth opening to tease.

This scene, they had enacted countless times before.

But the past was the past, and now was now.

Their mentality and state had changed significantly after meeting Qin Chuan.

Especially Shi Qing.

All along, she thought she didn't like men, that she liked women.

But after interacting with Qin Chuan, her mindset gradually shifted.

She gradually realized that her sexual orientation might be normal.

She could also have a physiological reaction to a man.

But as a strong-willed person, she naturally didn't want to admit it.

After being provoked by Jian Ya, she became a bit anxious.

Like an impotent person, desperately wanting to prove her prowess.

Unfortunately, she managed to arouse Jian Ya, but she herself didn't have any reaction.

Instead, she became increasingly irritated.

In the end, she slowly withdrew: "Get out, and don't appear in front of me again in the future."

Shi Qing, with her back to Jian Ya, pointed towards the door.

Jian Ya blushed, quietly tidying up her torn clothes.

"Shi Qing, you are a normal woman."

Jian Ya stood up from the sofa, hugging Shi Qing from behind: "Why won't you admit it?"

"Get out!"

Shi Qing said angrily.

Hearing this, Jian Ya sighed silently in her heart, then turned and left quietly.

"I think Qin Chuan might be able to help you."

After speaking, Jian Ya closed the door.

In the living room, Shi Qing felt all her strength drained, collapsing onto the sofa.

On the other side, after leaving Shi Qing's house, Jian Ya called Qin Chuan back.

Upon learning she was fine, Qin Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After lunch, Qin Chuan found a quiet place to practice Baji Fist.

"What exactly is the refined and exquisite state that Old Man Gu mentioned?"

After practicing several times, Qin Chuan couldn't help shaking his head.

From entering the door to gaining proficient skills, everything had gone exceptionally smoothly for him.

But transitioning from proficient skills to refined and exquisite state, he was always at a loss.

It felt like encountering some kind of bottleneck, constantly stuck.

"Looks like I need to find Old Man Gu for a chat." Qin Chuan thought to himself.

"Is Mr. Qin troubled by the matter of realm?"

While Qin Chuan was pondering, Old Man Gu's voice sounded from behind him.

"Old Man Gu, you came at just the right time."

Qin Chuan felt pleased, it was like having a pillow delivered when one wanted to nap.

The appearance of Old Man Gu couldn't have been more timely.

After Qin Chuan's treatment, Old Man Gu's complexion looked even better than before.

At his side was Jiang University's campus queen, Gu Yu.

Gu Yu nodded to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded back.

"Old Man Gu, what exactly is this refined and exquisite state? Several times I've reached a bottleneck, yet I can't advance further." Qin Chuan expressed his doubts.

"Entering the door depends on practice, proficiency depends on talent, while refinement and excellence depend on actual combat!"

Old Man Gu stated the key points, "Mr. Qin lacks neither diligence nor talent; what you lack is experience in actual combat."

"Oh?"

Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, recalling for a moment, it seemed to be the case.

Since he started practicing martial arts, he had only had four proper opponents.

One was Wu Xuan from the Taekwondo Club, another was Chen An from the Dog Hall, and the remaining two were the Cheng brothers from the Dog Hall.

The frequency of actual combat was indeed too low.

Even Wu Xuan from the Taekwondo Club couldn't really be considered an opponent.

With his current strength, Wu Xuan probably couldn't withstand even a single move from him.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan felt a bit of a headache.

He knew that finding a well-matched opponent to hone his skills was no easy task.

Old Man Gu might be an option.

But the realm gap was too large, lacking the effect of honing.

"Actually, I have an immodest request this time."

Old Man Gu went straight to the point, "I wonder if Mr. Qin could represent Gu's Martial Arts Hall in the Huawu Alliance's martial arts tournament?"

"Martial arts tournament?" Qin Chuan was stunned.

Old Man Gu patiently explained.

Huawu Alliance is a folk organization in Jiangcheng composed of major martial arts halls.

Among them, Gu's Martial Arts Hall is one of the five directors of the Huawu Alliance.

Director martial arts halls are replaced every five years, determined by the results of the martial arts tournament.

The martial arts tournament typically involves martial artists under thirty from each hall competing on stage.

The winners, the top five, behind which the martial arts halls can become directors and also receive a substantial bonus.

Gu's Martial Arts Hall had two slots, one of which was Gu Yu, while the other, Old Man Gu wanted Qin Chuan to participate.

After listening to Old Man Gu's description, Qin Chuan was somewhat tempted.

The bonus was secondary; the main attraction was the opportunity for actual combat.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan agreed right away.

"Xiao Yu, for the time being, explain the rules of the martial arts tournament to Mr. Qin."

After speaking, Old Man Gu looked at Qin Chuan again, "Mr. Qin, during this period, please guide Xiao Yu. Since your realms are similar, the practical effects will be better, enabling you to perform better in the martial arts tournament."

"No problem."

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

But what he didn't expect was that after school, Gu Yu directly dragged him to a hotel.
