"This..."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Chuan's dragon raised its head a bit more, jumping involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, the stepmother merely reached out, helped him adjust the dragon's position, and then said, "Little brat, hurry up and take a cold shower, don't hold it in."

After speaking, she turned around, her back to Qin Chuan, and began to put on her clothes.

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and immediately gave the dragon a pat.

"Told you to have self-control, how can you have improper thoughts about Aunt Mei?"

Qin Chuan secretly scolded himself and quickly opened the door and walked out.

After leaving the room, he felt a sense of fear.

Knowing that Aunt Luo and Xixi were both at home now,

If someone had knocked on the door just now, neither he nor his stepmother could clear themselves even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

Whew!

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

Upon returning to his room, he began to study his stepmother's condition.

"The force within Aunt Mei, where does it come from? It seems very different from the spiritual power in my body."

Qin Chuan contemplated, that domineering force seemed to have been in his stepmother's body for years.

But compared to the spiritual power he cultivated, it lacked a little something.

If not for the insufficient level, unable to display the full essence of the "Human Emperor Medical Canon", he could have directly expelled that force from his stepmother's body earlier.

"Currently, the only option is to give Aunt Mei more massages, restore her vitality, so she can hold on until I reach Foundation Establishment."

Qin Chuan thought, also quite curious about the source of that force within his stepmother.

Could there be other cultivation systems in this world?

Otherwise, where does that force come from?

For a while, Qin Chuan couldn't figure it out. After taking a shower, he devoted himself to cultivation.

For unknown reasons, this night was exceptionally quiet.

No one disturbed Qin Chuan, which also greatly solidified his level.

Early the next morning, he went out with Ye Wenxi, ready to go to school.

But Ye Wenxi's attitude had clearly changed.

Though not as disgusted as before, there was obvious distance and resistance to Qin Chuan's approach.

Qin Chuan wanted to ask several times, but as soon as he started, she changed the topic.

Qin Chuan wasn't foolish; he knew she was deliberately avoiding it, so he didn't press further.

Back at school, Ye Wenxi directly left Qin Chuan and went to class on her own.

"Alas..."

Qin Chuan sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

Then, he went alone to the teaching building downstairs, found a quiet place, and started practicing the Baji Fist he learned yesterday.

The more he practiced, the more Qin Chuan felt this grand and fierce fist style was a perfect pair with his "Nine Yang Creation Skill."

It could fully utilize the extreme yang and fierce nature of the "Nine Yang Creation Skill."

With every punch he threw, Qin Chuan felt his body relax, as if his power was being vented, with a sense of ease and control.

Gradually, he immersed himself entirely in the martial art.

But at this point, he suddenly sensed a near danger.

After cultivating the "Nine Yang Creation Skill," his sensing abilities greatly improved.

He became more aware of potential dangers.

Now, he felt surrounded by a strong sense of crisis.

Instinctively, he stepped back, a nearly reflexive reaction.

Then, a chopping palm, carrying fierce strength, suddenly descended before his eyes.

If it weren't for his timely dodge, this palm would have landed on him.

Qin Chuan's gaze sharped, staring intently at the opponent.

This was an elderly man, over seventy, dressed in a white training suit, giving an impression of unfathomable depth at a glance.

Before Qin Chuan could speak, the elder advanced again.

The elder initiated a 'Dragon Subduing', attacking fiercely, with a large-scale offense, his speed starkly contrasting his age.

Yet, his stable and heavy punch seemed to be full of the sediment of years.

Faced with this, Qin Chuan had no choice but to fight back. As the opponent subdued dragons, he directly performed Fuhu.

The two instantly engaged, with a bang, as their bodies collided, producing a sound of impact, then, both retreated respectively.

Qin Chuan took three steps back, the elder took seven.

But the elder remained relentless, advancing again, using Baji Fist to confront Qin Chuan.

"His Baji seems slightly different from what I'm practicing," Qin Chuan thought while countering.

The elder's Baji Fist was even more aggressive; if not for the superior strength, he wouldn't last more than three moves under the elder's hands.

Qin Chuan contemplated and learned the elder's moves secretly, quickly imprinting them in his memory.

Next, he began trying to perform a stronger version of Baji Fist.

The grand moves made the elder retreat repeatedly.

The elder's expression gradually turned surprised.

Soon, the elder, panting, waved his hand: "No more, no more, this old man's stamina can't keep up with you young people."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan slowly withdrew, then politely bowed to the elder: "Thank you for the instruction, senior."

"Oh? You could tell I was feeding you moves?" the elder marveled.

"You could have fought me with more direct and practical techniques, yet, you performed the entire set of Baji Fist," Qin Chuan explained.

Practical combat emphasizes quick, fierce precision, not showing off. The elder was clearly intentional.

"Excellent, detailed thinking, a promising seed, just a shame, a bit old,"

The elder lamented a bit, then asked: "How long have you studied Baji?"

"Counting full days, less than one," Qin Chuan replied.

"What?"

The elder's eye twitched: "You dare fool me? Your Baji Fist, though imperfect, has already reached the threshold for beginning insight; you couldn't reach this without practicing for three to five years."

"Really less than a day," Qin Chuan smiled bitterly.

"Making up nonsense, not honest one bit."

The elder shook his head in disappointment, turning to leave as he said: "Consider those moves wasted on you."

"I didn't lie."

Qin Chuan felt helpless, and right then, the bell for class rang.

He quickly gathered his things and ran into the classroom.

The morning consisted of two consecutive major classes, taking them through to noon.

Qin Chuan sent Ye Wenxi a message, asking if she wanted to have lunch together, but was rejected.

Helpless, he opted to go to the dining hall by himself.

"Brother Qin Chuan."

Just as he reached downstairs, Su Qian appeared out of nowhere, affectionately taking his arm.

Qin Chuan instinctively wanted to pull his hand away, but she firmly held it, wedged between her mature curves.

"Where's Wenxi?"

Qin Chuan glanced around, noticing no sign of Ye Wenxi.

"She went back to the dormitory."

Su Qian tiptoed and whispered teasingly in Qin Chuan's ear: "Isn't this perfect? Finally, no one can interrupt us. Want to go to the bathroom or rent a room outside?"

"Uh... I want to eat," Qin Chuan showed little interest in Su Qian.

Admittedly, a girl like Su Qian, the white moonlight type, is hard not to like.

But she has a boyfriend; Qin Chuan wouldn't dare get involved in such an affair.

"How can food be as good as me, besides, I'm hungry too, why don't you feed me first, Brother Qin Chuan."

Su Qian continued to seductively suggest: "Brother Qin Chuan, don't you want to let off some steam in someone's mouth, I must be much wilder and less restrained than Xixi."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan glanced subconsciously at her cherry lips.

Seeing this, Su Qian even licked her lips with her fragrant tongue, looking eager.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in someone else's woman," Qin Chuan said bluntly.

"So Brother Qin Chuan minds that."

Su Qian chuckled slyly: "Last night, I broke up already; I even comforted myself while calling your name and dumped him. How about, when we're making love later, I call him to confirm personally?"
