Bang!

Zhu Zhuqing's small elbow slammed hard into the bowl-thick tree, making it tremble violently. Faintly, a second sound could be heard hidden within the first.

Hearing it, Zhu Zhuqing immediately beamed with delight.

"Success!"

It had been more than half a month since Jiang Qianhai had given Zhu Zhuqing Battle Through the Heavens to read. During that time, Zhu Zhuqing had also learned that Jiang Qianhai cultivated Battle Qi rather than Soul Power.

Especially after learning that Jiang Qianhai possessed strength comparable to a Soul Ancestor, she had been deeply shaken.

Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's low spirits, Jiang Qianhai asked what was wrong. He then decided to teach her Eight Extremities Collapse and Exploding Step, a set of divine skills designed for explosive bursts.

He also wanted to see how learning Battle Skills would affect Zhu Zhuqing's future.

As for the difference between Battle Qi and Soul Power, it was no problem at all. Any technique obtained from the system could be mastered by him to the finest detail. Moreover, Jiang Qianhai possessed both Battle Qi and Soul Power himself, and both were essentially forms of energy. Thus, with a little effort, Jiang Qianhai converted the Battle Qi techniques into Soul Power techniques.

Although their effects could not compare to those produced with Battle Qi, they were still enough to unleash seventy percent of the Battle Skills' power.

Perhaps Exploding Step suited Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul particularly well, because she quickly found her bearings.

But Eight Extremities Collapse, which relied more on physical collision, was much more difficult.

Only today had she finally found a trace of insight.

After successfully producing the second sound, Zhu Zhuqing was in an extremely good mood. She immediately ran toward the river, intending to share her happiness with Jiang Qianhai.

But as soon as she reached the riverbank, her footsteps slowed.

She could already see Jiang Qianhai's figure from here, but what was this heavy aura filling the air?

Zhu Zhuqing quietly came to Jiang Qianhai's side. She wanted to ask what was happening, but seeing him staring intently at the float in the water, she thought it over and decided not to speak.

After getting to know Jiang Qianhai fairly well over the past half month, Zhu Zhuqing had realized that in daily life, he was a lively and refined little boy. However, he was exceptionally devoted to fishing.

With his strength, he could obviously catch all the fish with ease, but he insisted on using only a Fishing Rod.

And when Jiang Qianhai was fishing, he was incredibly serious and focused. For the sake of fishing, he could even ignore his Germophobia!

Just then, Jiang Qianhai's eyes flickered. The float suddenly sank, and he immediately stood up and raised the Fishing Rod.

"It's a big one!"

Sensing the strength on the other end, Jiang Qianhai was overjoyed. He immediately began wrestling with the fish, and the Fishing Rod even bent into a '∩'. Only after exhausting the fish did he finally pull it ashore.

After making a rough comparison of its size, Jiang Qianhai was delighted to discover that the fish was over a meter long. Standing upright, it was even noticeably taller than he was now.

stroking the fish, Jiang Qianhai felt that he had no further desires in life. He could honestly say that neither in this life nor in his previous one had he ever caught such a huge fish.

If an ordinary adult had been in his place, they probably would have been exhausted before they could determine a winner against this fish.

"How is it?" Jiang Qianhai proudly patted the big fish. "Is it big?"

"Mhm, this is the first time I've seen a fish this big." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Her simple praise made Jiang Qianhai's grin stretch almost to his ears.

"By the way, how's your practice of Eight Extremities Collapse going?" Jiang Qianhai carried the fish onto his back. "We'll talk while we walk."

After learning that Zhu Zhuqing could already produce the second sound and had crossed the threshold into mastery, Jiang Qianhai praised her talent.

"How's your body? You weren't injured, were you?"

Jiang Qianhai was not asking without reason. Eight Extremities Collapse required extremely strong physical strength. Otherwise, the user would suffer severe backlash. At best, their internal organs would be injured; at worst, they would vomit blood and fall unconscious.

Fortunately, Jiang Qianhai estimated that the physical strength required to begin practicing the Soul Power version of Eight Extremities Collapse was lower. Otherwise, he would not have dared let Zhu Zhuqing practice it.

"I'm fine. I only felt a faint tremor. I don't feel injured."

"It's a pity there aren't any suitable herbs here. Otherwise, a medicinal bath would be much more effective than this. ..."

Zhu Zhuqing watched Jiang Qianhai chatting animatedly about her cultivation. A flash of delight passed through her eyes, but when she thought of the engagement arranged between her and the Dai Family Royal Family when she was young, her expression inevitably darkened.

But in the next instant, she rallied herself.

The future is still long. As long as I have enough strength, so what if there's an engagement? If I say it's a worthless piece of paper, then it's a worthless piece of paper!

Besides... Battle Emperor seems to be able to elevate one's bloodline. Even if it's for my future children, I... mm~

At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly as she secretly glanced at Jiang Qianhai.

But she quickly found it impossible to remain happy.

"Qianhai, why are you taking such a long route?" Zhu Zhuqing puffed out her cheeks. "We were clearly already home. Why didn't you go inside?"

Jiang Qianhai replied, "You don't understand. If you catch a big fish but don't show it off, how is that any different from not catching one at all..."

At that moment, someone approached them from ahead. Jiang Qianhai immediately greeted the person and began chatting.

"Second Uncle! What are you up to? Yeah, I just caught it. It's nothing, just luck."

"Oh, isn't this Third Aunt? Long time no see. Have you eaten? The fish? Ah, just lucky."

Zhu Zhuqing: ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌

At last, they returned home, and Zhu Zhuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, Jiang Qianhai had greeted everyone he met. He was happy, but she was exhausted.

Before she had even sat down properly, Jiang Qianhai pulled her arm up.

"Doesn't it hurt? Look, it's already bruised."

Zhu Zhuqing froze. She turned her arm over and took a look, only then discovering that her elbow was indeed somewhat bruised.

"It doesn't hurt. I didn't notice it before."

"It's better to get the pooled blood dispersed." Saying that, Jiang Qianhai took out a bottle of 'Red Flower Oil' and gently applied it to the bruise.

As for where the Red Flower Oil had come from?

It had been obtained on one of the rare days when he hadn't made an Empty Catch. He had also been lucky enough to trigger a little surprise. Although it was only an enhanced version of Red Flower Oil, it was still quite good.

"Actually, there's no need..."

Looking at that face so close to hers, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly. As if unwilling, she turned her head aside, but the two little feet swinging beneath the sofa fully revealed her current mood.

After applying the medicine to Zhu Zhuqing, Jiang Qianhai dragged the big fish straight into the kitchen. They were eating it today!

Dinner was a delicious Whole Fish Feast. Amid the warm atmosphere, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been smiling brightly, suddenly stiffened.

"Um, Uncle, Auntie, I'm going to use the bathroom."

Old Jiang merely nodded, his eyes still glaring furiously at his unfilial son. Mother Jiang smiled and waved, telling her to hurry back before the food got cold.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in acknowledgment and then walked out.

After walking to a secluded corner of the courtyard, a voice sounded from behind her.

"Had enough fun?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened. "When did you find me?"

She turned around, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face appeared before her.

Zhu Zhuqing knew this person. He was her father, a member of the Dai Family Royal, and a Level 84 Soul Douluo!
