The Way of Jin and Che: Nothing It Cannot Cut!

After returning from his meal.

Yu Fan bought a luxurious set of bedding and moved his bed to a spot by the window in Dorm Seven.

By the window, he could see the scenery outside and draw the curtains.

It was simply the perfect spot for a bed.

"Mm, nice! I still have so many Gold Soul Coins that I hardly know how to spend them all."

There was actually another way to obtain Gold Soul Coins.

That was to go to the Spirit Hall Branch in Nuoding City and obtain Soul Master certification.

As long as he reached level eleven and absorbed a Soul Ring, he could become a qualified Soul Master.

Every month, he could receive a subsidy of ten soul coins from the Spirit Hall.

In the original story, Tang San had lived healthily until six years later thanks to the Spirit Hall's Soul Master subsidy and the money he earned working at smithies everywhere.

"If I can't absorb a Soul Ring, won't I be unable to collect the Martial Soul subsidy?"

"Damn, that's like losing a hundred million!"

He wanted to fleece the Spirit Hall too.

[Ding! Releasing main quest...]

[Get Xiao Wu to acknowledge your Brawling Analects!]

[Completion reward: the Way of Jin and Che, nothing it cannot cut!]

Another main quest?

Come to think of it!

The rewards for these main quests were all good stuff!

"What the hell is this Way of Jin and Che? Put jin and che together and you get the character for 'slash,' and then there's 'nothing it cannot cut'!"

Yu Fan still didn't know what the Way of Jin and Che did.

But judging by the system's description, its attack power should be extremely strong.

Could this be his first Soul Skill?

But where was the Soul Ring?

Forget it, never mind!

He'd finish the quest first!

Yu Fan acted as soon as he made up his mind. He got up and was just about to look for Xiao Wu.

But then he saw Xiao Wu walk over to his bed and feel his blanket with her hand.

What was that supposed to mean?

Could Xiao Wu have forgotten to wipe her hands after eating and be smearing grease on his blanket?

Fuck!

You ten-thousand-year-old rabbit spirit!

"What are you doing?"

Yu Fan asked.

Xiao Wu explained, looking a little guilty.

"I... I didn't buy any bedding today. I went out and looked around, but I couldn't find anywhere that sold it."

"Oh, didn't Tang San take you?"

"Don't even mention him. That Tang San only cared about buying his own! He wasn't even willing to say an extra word to me."

Xiao Wu didn't know what was going on either.

Tang San seemed to have some prejudice against her, thinking she was as unreasonable and overbearing as Yu Fan.

So he quietly kept his distance from her.

He even...

Deliberately avoided her!

She didn't know what Tang San had gone to do today either, but it looked like he had gone to a smithy!

"Uh..."

Yu Fan fell silent for a long while.

What was going on with Tang San?

Did he really not want his future wife anymore?

Could it be because of him?

But what had he even done...?

Even Yu Fan himself didn't know what he had done.

He could only conclude that something was wrong with Tang San's head!

"Then what do you want?"

"Brother Fan, could I borrow your bedding for a bit?"

Xiao Wu said sincerely.

Yu Fan fell silent once again.

What's with this classic plot?

You've got to be kidding me.

"Sure, but there isn't enough room on the bed."

"Hehe, I knew you were the best, Brother Fan."

Seeing Yu Fan agree, Xiao Wu beamed with delight.

Even her eyes curved into two little crescent moons.

"Wait a moment!"

Xiao Wu pushed her bed over.

Soon, she had pushed her bed and Yu Fan's together into one.

"Now there's enough room!"

Xiao Wu lay down on the bed and pulled Yu Fan's bedding over herself.

Yu Fan was at a loss.

He had transmigrated, only to have someone snatch his bedding.

"All right, all right, it's all yours."

Fortunately, the bedding he had bought was big enough.

Otherwise, he was really afraid it wouldn't cover him.

But then again, this was an excellent opportunity to teach her the Brawling Analects!

Otherwise, Yu Fan couldn't have agreed so quickly!

"Xiao Wu, did you hear what I said today about a gentleman loving wealth and acquiring it by proper means?"

"I did! I thought what you said made so much sense!"

Xiao Wu nodded.

She didn't know why Yu Fan was asking.

But she really wasn't lying.

"Good! Now I'll teach you another saying!"

Yu Fan said, putting his arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist.

"The Master did not speak of strange occurrences, feats of strength, disorder, or spirits."

"Brother Fan, what does that mean?"

Xiao Wu looked at Yu Fan in confusion. She found this knowledge rather novel.

She also thought to herself.

Yu Fan really is a good person, teaching me so much useful knowledge.

Yu Fan said seriously.

"Translated, it means..."

"Your old man doesn't want to talk to you, so he uses monstrous strength to beat him senseless."

"??"

Xiao Wu was visibly taken aback.

So that's what 'the Master did not speak of strange occurrences, feats of strength, disorder, or spirits' means?

No wonder Yu Fan didn't say a word when he beat up Xiao Chenyu's gang just now!

"Brother Fan, I understand!"

Xiao Wu gazed at Yu Fan, her face full of admiration.

Next time, she would also make the Master not speak of strange occurrences, feats of strength, disorder, or spirits!

[Ding-!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have completed the quest and successfully gotten Xiao Wu to acknowledge your Brawling Analects!]

[Reward obtained: the Way of Jin and Che!]

[The Way of Jin and Che: nothing it cannot cut!]

The moment the system's reward announcement ended.

Yu Fan felt the power within his body change.

He raised his free hand and glanced at it.

"This is..."

Yu Fan's pupils shook. He could clearly see faint gusts of wild wind appearing along the side of his hand as he held it in a palm strike.

These gusts formed invisible blades, as though a light forward flick of his palm would be enough to cut through anything.

This...

Is this the Way of Jin and Che?

"Slash!"

Yu Fan swung a knife-hand strike.

A pure white slash instantly blasted toward the ceiling!

"Whoosh!"

After a resounding crash, a slash could be seen having gouged clean through Dorm Seven's ceiling.

The hole it left was smooth and even, as though it had been carefully polished with a cutting machine from Yu Fan's previous life.

The sight jolted every student in Dorm Seven awake.

"?? What's going on? Was that an earthquake?"

Wang Sheng sat bolt upright like a dying man roused from his sickbed. After looking around blankly.

His gaze finally settled on the hole above his head.

"What happened here?!"

The other students looked shocked as well, and spoke up one after another.

"Holy shit! How did our dorm ceiling get a hole blown through it?"

"Boss, did you see who did it?"

"They actually dared to come bully Dorm Seven?"

"Don't they know we've got a boss backing us now?"

"..."

Only Tang San stared at Yu Fan, dumbstruck.

He had seen that slash just now with his own eyes, clear as day.

His Purple Demon Eye had long since reached the Discerning realm. He had been secretly listening to Yu Fan teach Xiao Wu the Brawling Analects, and then somehow a slash came flying out.

And just like that, Yu Fan had ripped the ceiling open!

"..."

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded too.

She thought she had somehow upset Yu Fan and hurriedly hugged the blanket and edged backward.

Yu Fan glanced at his hand and said.

"Holy shit!"

"The Way of Jin and Che is this fierce?"

Although the destructive range of that slash was limited.

Its power was incomparably great!

Even a block of refined iron...

If that slash landed squarely on it, wouldn't it probably cut right through it too?

"Is this my first Soul Skill?"

"The Way of Jin and Che: nothing it cannot cut!"

Yu Fan said excitedly.
