Chapter 64

"...Headmaster, don't you want to ask me something?"

While Shen Gonglin and the others were talking about various things behind them, Fu Hua was walking with Theresa in front. The usually composed Fu Hua seemed hesitant to speak this time, and Theresa didn't say anything either, just walked forward with her short legs. In the end, Fu Hua couldn't help but ask, Theresa's attitude made her feel a little strange.

"Haven't we finished talking? I understand Kiana's situation now. I will handle this matter properly. I didn't expect something like this to happen. It must be due to the excessive stimulation. I can't let Shen Gonglin do such things to Kiana again. This time it's okay, it's still within the controllable range, but we won't always be so lucky."

Theresa's expression turned slightly serious. Kiana's condition was something she hadn't anticipated. She hadn't expected that the environment at the academy would trigger it, even without any excessive exposure to Honkai energy. It was truly because of Shen Gonglin. How could those two idiots act so recklessly? Kiana alone was already a headache enough, but now with Shen Gonglin added to the mix, it wasn't just addition; the two of them together were practically multiplication.

"No, I'm not talking about that. I mean... Headmaster, aren't you going to ask about what happened earlier? It was when Kiana was hanging from the tree and I was helping Shen Gonglin hold her down... Well, not exactly holding her down, the situation was a bit unusual."

Fu Hua wasn't talking about that. She scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly. Since earlier, everyone had seemed to have agreed not to mention what had happened before, but it was precisely their attitude that made Fu Hua feel strange. It was as if they were trying to comfort her, but she really hadn't done anything. It was all Shen Gonglin's fault. At most, she was an accomplice... no, not even an accomplice. She had only resorted to this tactic to save Kiana. Fu Hua felt she needed to explain herself properly.

"It's okay, Fu Hua, you're a grown-up now, and Kiana should also take responsibility for her actions. It's just... I just wanted to say something, please don't mind, but Shen Gonglin is still a bit young. I'm not saying what you two are doing is bad; normal people have some sadistic or masochistic tendencies, it's one of the basic elements of being human, I understand. But Shen Gonglin is still young, and if she's exposed to this kind of thing too early, it won't be good for her healthy development. So... Fu Hua, if you want to do that again next time, could you please try to avoid Shen Gonglin a little? Of course, I'm just saying this, Fu Hua, you should understand what I mean."

Theresa has always been a very gentle girl. She slightly raised her head and gave Fu Hua a bright, sunny smile. Her cute little face seemed to shine with an angelic light. Guiding students is the headmistress's responsibility. She may look like a cute little girl on the outside, but in reality, Theresa is a very gentle, understanding, and empathetic girl. Although she couldn't quite understand Fu Hua's feelings just now, it didn't hinder her desire to guide the students' growth. No one mentioned what happened earlier, so everyone is a very gentle person.

"No, no, it really was Shen Gonglin who told me to do that. I was just doing what he said. He told me to do it that way..."

Fu Hua was utterly speechless. Theresa clearly believed that she was the one who did it all, but Fu Hua felt completely innocent. It was all the fault of that evil seed, Shen Gonglin. But why did everyone think that she was the one who did it? Fu Hua felt that her usual image should not lead them to such a thing. Or were these people all blind?

"Fu Hua, it's not a big deal. But it's not right to push it onto Shen Gonglin. Putting aside everything else, the way he tied the rope just now is something he couldn't have done. That guy is a bit bad, but overall he's a good kid. You can tell from his expression that he wouldn't do something like that. So... it's okay, Fu Hua, you don't need to worry about it. Everyone has some special hobbies. Like me, I like reading manga."

Theresa tiptoed and gently patted her student, who was lost in the confusion of life. A healing smile appeared on Theresa's face. In order to comfort Fu Hua, she didn't hesitate to reveal her hobby. As the headmistress, having such a hobby was indeed not very authoritative, but if it could soothe her student, then there was no problem at all. Although she looked young, Theresa was undoubtedly a very competent headmistress. Even if something like this happened, it was okay.

The only minor issue is with Shen Gonglin. If possible, she hopes Shen Gonglin can grow up in a healthier direction. Although he should be about the same age as Bronya, he has to put in much more effort than Bronya in these matters.

A good child who wouldn't do such a thing...

Following Theresa's finger, Fu Hua turned around and glanced at Shen Gonglin eyes and white teeth, and a graceful figure, her face looked like that of a pure and innocent child, as if she had a built-in filter. She had a smile on her face and light in her eyes. Her presence in a crowd was unique, as if the words "good child" were engraved on her forehead. But Fu Hua knew that all of this was an illusion.

Shen Gonglin is just good-looking; that face is his best cover. No one who looks at his face would think that Shen Gonglin is a bad person. If you stare at him for a long time, you might even unconsciously develop feelings of liking him. But Fu Hua knows that the real Shen Gonglin is a maggot with a black heart.

It's a pity that only she realized this. Didn't anyone else see through Shen Gonglin's true nature? Fu Hua didn't want this feeling of being the only one who was sober while everyone else was drunk. She was the one taking the blame for Shen Gonglin again. If Fu Hua hadn't been so calm, she would have wanted to puff out her cheeks. So annoying! A bunch of people who were fooled by Shen Gonglin's face. If he couldn't be, then does that mean she looks like the kind of person who knows all sorts of weird rope bondage?

Fu Hua suddenly felt a little self-doubtful. She didn't mean to boast; she genuinely felt that she was quite good-looking. It must all be the fault of those blind women. Why couldn't they see through the surface and understand the essence of the matter?

Ultimately, it's still Shen Gonglin's fault!

Chapter 255

"Class President, why did you suddenly bring me here? Shouldn't we be going back to eat? To be honest, I'm actually a bit hungry. Can we do something else first, after I've eaten?"

He parted ways with Kiana and the others halfway there. Fu Hua had no idea what she was thinking. After having Shen Gonglin hand Kiana over to Mei, she brought him here alone. St. Freya was very large, and Shen Gonglin was terrible with directions. He only knew that he had followed Fu Hua all the way here. Looking at the quiet environment around him, Shen Gonglin was a little confused about what Fu Hua was trying to do. She brought him to such a quiet and remote place. Even if he shouted himself hoarse, no one would come to save him.

Also, Shen Gonglin was indeed very hungry. After all, he wasn't a real vampire. Although drinking blood was very enjoyable, it couldn't be considered a full meal. Now he was starting to miss the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) at the restaurant. He felt like he could eat two whole baskets of them.

"Let's not rush to eat. Mei and the others need to take Kiana to get her checked out. We also have things to do. Shen Gonglin, do you know what your problem is?"

Fu Hua turned around and looked at Shen Gonglin seriously. Kiana went to have a physical examination, and she brought Shen Gonglin here. After what had just happened, Fu Hua had fully realized Shen Gonglin's shortcomings. Physical strength was a problem, but this needed to be improved gradually. Now, Fu Hua needed to correct Shen Gonglin's other problems.

"Hmm... Is he too handsome? Is that why he's always attracting girls?"

Shen Gonglin stroked her chin and thought about it seriously. It seemed that this was indeed the reason. All the crises she encountered were brought about by girls, and all of this was due to her damn charm. This was the only problem Shen Gonglin could think of. What, did the Class President want her to become less attractive in the future? But Shen Gonglin felt that she couldn't do that.

When it comes to narcissism, Shen Gonglin is definitely one of the top contenders.

"... How come I never noticed how thick-skinned you were before? Although what you said seems to make some sense, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, Shen Gonglin, you're too weak. Your true strength is too weak, or rather, Shen Gonglin, your combat awareness is too poor."

With a blank expression, she reached out and pinched Shen Gonglin's face, her two fingers squeezing Shen Gonglin's cheeks tightly. The smooth skin between her fingers made Fu Hua have to admit that what Shen Gonglin said made some sense, but she wouldn't praise Shen Gonglin. Who said that? She was talking about Shen Gonglin's true strength. If he were stronger and more ambitious, would he have encountered such a thing?

If he could seize the opportunity to transform into that Angel Form, how could the Herrscher in that state possibly be his match? Without transforming into angel form, Shen Gonglin is like a weakling. In fact, neither Electromagnetic Force nor anything else should render him powerless to resist, but this guy was still subdued by that Herrscher, which made Fu Hua feel somewhat disappointed in him.

This time, the Herrscher didn't have any murderous intent towards Shen Gonglin. But what about next time? What if it's someone else? Someone like Shen Gonglin is just too easy to take down. Even without using force, just tricking him into going to a high place or giving him some alcohol will do the trick. That's why Fu Hua, as his master, is particularly worried. If this disciple is too weak and goes out into the world, he will embarrass her.

"Class President, I'm actually an S-rank, so it feels a little hurt to be said that by someone who's only an A-rank."

Shen Gonglin cautiously raised his hand and shouted. Seeing Fu Hua's somewhat serious expression, he didn't dare to be too cheeky. However, Shen Gonglin didn't take the situation she mentioned too seriously. The reason why this happened was because Shen Gonglin didn't sense any killing intent from that Herrscher girl... except for a tiny bit when he wanted to lick the Class President's thigh at the end. That's why he didn't use his true strength.

Maybe.

"Rank doesn't prove everything. Are you saying I can't teach you? If you don't want to learn, you can leave. I won't force you."

Is he looking down on me because I'm bad? Are you kidding me? I'm Fu Hua, I 'Chiyuan Shen Gonglin. What right does this newly promoted S-rank, Jingu Rin, have to look down on me? Fu Hua has never cared about ranks. Her A-rank Valkyrie status is just for convenience. This Shen Gonglin is too ungrateful. Fu Hua released Shen Gonglin's cheek and turned around, as if she was begging Shen Gonglin to teach her martial arts. He's so arrogant, she's not going to serve him anymore.

It's hard to imagine that Fu Hua would throw a tantrum. She turned around and left, but the deliberately slowed pace still revealed the Valkyrie's conflicted state of mind. She clearly wanted Shen Gonglin to catch up and say nice things. She wanted to teach him such good martial arts, but this kid was unwilling. This time, she really had to make him beg her.

Small footsteps sounded behind her. Upon hearing the sound, Fu Hua smiled. This guy was quite sensible. If he didn't follow, she would have to go back and reason with him. She couldn't just ignore him. She had taught him martial arts, so she had to be responsible for him. She couldn't make the wrong choice because of some inexplicable Shen Gonglin. However, she was quite pleased that Fu Hua was so sensible.

"What, you still want to learn? If you do, be prepared to suffer."

Fu Hua turned around, and sure enough, Shen Gonglin was following behind her. Seeing his conflicted look, Fu Hua gave him a way out. She was already very satisfied that Shen Gonglin was like this. This guy had a terrible personality, and she couldn't force him to beg her for anything. This was enough. After spending so much time with Shen Gonglin, Fu Hua felt that she had become somewhat familiar with Shen Gonglin's little tricks.

"No, Class President, didn't you say I didn't have to learn? Practicing martial arts is so hard. I'm so tired today, so I'll skip it for now. I wanted to ask how to get back. You know, St. Freya is huge. Even if I'm not bad with directions, getting back might still be a bit difficult."

Shen Gonglin scratched his head and revealed his true meaning. This guy might indeed have a high talent for martial arts, but he really wasn't interested. He had never been a person with a strong character. Although this was a bit wrong, it was just Shen Gonglin's personality. Some things were ingrained in his bones and couldn't be corrected. Moreover, he always felt that he should be a very powerful person, so... whether he learned it or not, it was all the same.

Chapter 256 The Immortal Deceives People

Calm down, calm down, don't hit her. If you hit her, Shen Gonglin might die, and then we'll have to find her a grave. So calm down, Fu Hua. You're a mature person. You can't let these things ruin your peaceful mind.

Fu Hua took a deep breath. She felt the blood rush to her head, and the immortal who almost had a stroke tried to adjust her state. She thought it was her fault that she thought Shen Gonglin would listen to her. He was just a guy who could drive you crazy. She should have gotten used to him by now. It was precisely because Shen Gonglin was not doing well that he needed her guidance. So she didn't need to care about what he said. She just needed to stick to doing what she was supposed to do.

"No, you must learn it. You've already mastered the Mindful Essence of the Great Void Sword Qi. This martial art has a unique characteristic: if you don't master all the Qi, you'll explode and die a horrible death. Shen Gonglin, do you want to try it?"

Fu Hua turned around and looked at Shen Gonglin with a sinister gaze. She had already gone to this extent to force Shen Gonglin to learn martial arts. The Immortal Chiyuan never lied, but this time she had no choice but to make an exception. Otherwise, she really had no good way to deal with this guy. This guy had such great talent but did not want to make good use of it. It was a real waste of talent. She had to correct this flaw of Shen Gonglin. There was nothing wrong with anything else, but his spirit needed to be trained properly.

Shen Gonglin's martial arts talent is the best Fu Hua has ever seen. It's just that he's a little lacking in physical fitness and mental strength. If she doesn't train him properly, he'll get beaten up by other girls if he just goes out casually. Today's incident is already a lesson. Who told him to have such charming eyes? He's naturally good at attracting girls.

He died from his body exploding!

Shen Gonglin's eyes widened immediately. When the Class President taught her the Sword Heart Art, he never said anything like that. He said that if she didn't learn it all, she would explode and die. This was like a horror story. Why would a peerless martial art have such a limitation? Shen Gonglin thought that the Class President was lying to her, but Fu Hua's image was always that of a rigid person who wouldn't lie. So this meant that this matter was true.

Oh my god, am I about to die?!

"Class monitor, Class President, save me, I don't want to die."

Shen Gonglin quickly grabbed Fu Hua's clothes. This girl was so unlucky. The thought of possibly dying was unbearable for her. Shen Gonglin hadn't lived enough in this wonderful world yet. Besides, she was still burdened with debts that she hadn't paid off. How could she die? So she absolutely couldn't die.

This guy... his pitiful look is really cute.

Reflecting on Shen Gonglin's pitiful appearance, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh. Shen Gonglin might really be a bit too cute. She almost told him the truth because of his look. But she didn't expect him to be so easy to fool. If she had known that this would make Shen Gonglin obedient, she would have lied to him long ago instead of going through so many tricks.

"The only way now is to let you master the other four elements, Shen Gonglin. I'm doing this for your own good, so you need to study hard from now on. You can even barely master the Mindful Essence, so I think if you work hard, you should be able to get started with the other elements. So Shen Gonglin, for your own sake, you need to listen carefully and study hard."

Fu Hua patted Shen Gonglin on the shoulder, her serious face showing no trace of a joke. She couldn't tell Shen Gonglin that her Mindful Essence had reached its peak, otherwise the girl would become arrogant. She thought she was incapable of lying, but it turned out she was quite adept at it. Shen Gonglin seemed very smart, but she was surprisingly easy to fool. This trait could be exploited in the future.

"Yes, I will definitely try my best, Class President. I will definitely study hard, but... but could you grant me a request?"

Since it concerned his life and fortune, Shen Gonglin could not take it lightly. However, while he was learning, Shen Gonglin still wanted to satisfy his own desires a little. He looked at Fu Hua in front of him, and Fu Hua was a little flustered by his strange gaze. This guy, would he see through something? After all, she was really not good at lying.

"What are your requirements?"

Fu Hua asked calmly, "Since I've already lied to Shen Gonglin, I have to keep lying to the end. Lying is indeed a bad habit. Unfortunately, I've already gone this far, so I can only go all the way down this path. Lying is a bad habit, but Fu Hua can't quit it."

"I mean, can you go back to that leg-revealing, butt-revealing look from before... no, I mean that ethereal, fairy-like appearance? I feel like if the white-haired Class President taught me, I would definitely learn super fast, that's for sure."

Shen Gonglin scratched his cheek and said this somewhat embarrassedly. Of course, his embarrassment was entirely feigned. He just wanted Fu Hua to stay with him in her previous outfit. What was so fun about this tightly wrapped training uniform? Her previous cheongsam-like dress was much prettier.

"... You can wear it, but you have to really study hard."

She really couldn't refuse him, so she decided to consider it compensation for lying to him. Fu Hua hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing to Shen Gonglin's request. It was just a matter of wearing different clothes, which wasn't a difficult thing. If this could make Shen Gonglin study harder, Fu Hua felt that she hadn't lost out.

When Fu Hua is with Shen Gonglin, Fu Hua always feels that her bottom line is being lowered. This may be a characteristic of Shen Gonglin. But who can blame her when he is her disciple? For his future, it is nothing to pay a little price.

I'm moved to tears. There aren't many masters as outstanding as Fu Hua who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their apprentices, especially knowing that this guy is a scoundrel who lusts after his master. Fu Hua still made this choice. She is simply a model teacher of our time.

I guess only her teacher Murata Himeko can be compared to her.

"Okay, Class President, don't worry, I'll definitely learn very quickly. Class President, let me help you change your clothes, hurry up, I'm afraid I might accidentally explode and die sometime."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gonglin was overjoyed. He then leaned forward and started touching Fu Hua inappropriately. Beautiful girls are truly amazing; they can give people a completely different feeling just by changing their clothes. The Class President's outfit was simply ethereal; just looking at it was like feasting the eyes.

"Wait, wait a minute, I don't need your help... Shen Gonglin, stop! If you don't stop, I won't change!"

Fu Hua quickly covered her collar. This guy was taking off other people's clothes way too fast. If she wasn't careful, he would strip her naked. Although she had promised Shen Gonglin that she would change her clothes, Fu Hua had never said that she needed his help.

Chapter 257 Martial Arts Prodigy

Class President, she's really pretty. If she smiled more and her chest was a normal size, she'd be absolutely gorgeous.

On the lawn, Shen Gonglin sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands supporting his ankles as he looked at Fu Hua in front of him. The girl had changed out of her conservative blue training clothes, and her long white and red hair was swaying gently in the wind. She was also wearing a dress that resembled a cheongsam. The Class President really spoiled him, actually changing into this outfit to teach him. At least he hadn't lost out. Just looking at the Class President was a pleasure. The Class President in this state was simply ethereal.

"Phew... Shen Gonglin, did you remember that?"

Fu Hua withdrew her fist and adjusted her aura before turning to look at Shen Gonglin. Her cinnabar-red eyes were clear and serene. Since she had decided to teach Shen Gonglin in this manner, she wouldn't feel awkward. She considered Shen Gonglin's talent in other Qi cultivation methods and wondered if her mastery of Mindful Essence was just an exception.

"I've got it, I've got it. Class President, I can now draw you perfectly... Ouch, Class President, what are you doing? Even if I'm cute, you can't pinch my cheek like that."

Shen Gonglin nodded frantically, having completely memorized Fu Hua's appearance. He even felt like he had a talent for drawing. As soon as Fu Hua asked, Shen Gonglin grabbed a twig and started drawing on the ground. Even though it was just earth art, Shen Gonglin captured the otherworldly beauty's bearing in just a few strokes. He really did have a talent for drawing! But before Shen Gonglin could even get cocky, Fu Hua expressionlessly reached out and pinched his cheek. This guy... had she even asked him something like that? She was diligently teaching him the Great Void Sword Qi, and this guy was focused on such trivial things... really...

But to be fair, this guy's drawing skills are really amazing.

Fu Hua glanced at the painting on the ground, and her mind skipped a beat. It seemed that someone had done something similar a long, long time ago, but it didn't seem to be a painting... Never mind, that's not the important thing now, it's about Shen Gonglin's problem.

"I mean the Form Resonance within the Great Void Sword Qi... Okay, I'll say it again now, and you'd better remember it well."

Seeing the guy's bewildered expression, Fu Hua felt a headache coming on. This guy hadn't listened to a single word, but there was nothing she could do. What could she do when she had such a disciple? She could only teach him seriously. This time, Fu Hua sat down directly in front of Shen Gonglin, hoping that Shen Gonglin wouldn't be distracted anymore. If he was distracted again, she would beat him up.

"The Great Void Sword Qi is divided into five Mindful Essence, among which the God Resonance for now, but the Intent Resonance require the assistance of something to progress, so we will start with the Form Resonance and the Soul Resonance. Today we will focus on the Form Resonance... Shen Gonglin! Don't get distracted, listen carefully!"

Fu Hua could tell from the moment he saw the guy's wandering gaze that he was about to lose focus again. The strict immortal master reached out and tapped Shen Gonglin on the head. This guy was smart, but he just couldn't concentrate. Or was it because of the clothes he was wearing? He always felt that Shen Gonglin's attention would shift to him from time to time. He was wrong to agree to teach in this outfit. Couldn't this guy be more serious?

"Hey, Class President, don't hit me! It's just Form Resonance. I've already memorized everything you said. Form Resonance is divided into four lines, basically receiving, transforming, and releasing... No, no, I misremembered. There are four lines: guarding, transforming, activating, and releasing, totaling twenty-one forms. There are three forms for activating the sword form: Crescent Moon, Sea Severing, and Sky Splitting; six forms for transforming the sword form: Flying Falcon, Black Falcon, Swallow, Vine Sparrow, Cloud Eagle, and Moon Heron; six forms for guarding the sword form: Weeping Willow, Orchid, Strong Bamboo, Ink Chrysanthemum, Pure Lotus, and Green Pine; and six forms for opening the sword form: Rock Breaking, Chaotic Thunder, Thunderbolt, Mountain Collapse, Instant Dust, and Tremor Wind. Is that it? I've memorized it, I've memorized it."

My gaze inevitably drifted to Fu Hua's tiny waist. The Class President's waist was really slender, but such a flat figure had such explosive power. As Shen Gonglin was pondering this, Fu Hua suddenly punched her on the head. Shen Gonglin complained, feeling wronged. It's not like I didn't remember anything, why did she have to hit me? Is the class Class President addicted to this action? She hits me all the time. Do you believe I'll pin her to the ground and beat her up too?

Betraying one's master and ancestors... Shen Gonglin was capable of doing something like pinning her master to the ground and beating him up.

This kid... he actually remembered it. I always thought he was daydreaming, and he was indeed daydreaming, but even so, he remembered everything I said. Unlike Kiana, who is a fool who only remembers things with her body, this Shen Gonglin seems to actually have a brain. I was right, Shen Gonglin's learning ability is definitely extraordinary.

Fu Hua was amazed by Shen Gonglin's learning ability, which was something she hadn't expected. However, seeing his smug look as he waited for her to praise him, Fu Hua felt both annoyed and amused. This guy was too funny. In short, she absolutely couldn't praise him, otherwise he would become even more arrogant.

"What's the point of just memorizing it? Were you even watching when I demonstrated it to you? If you've learned it, then try it out on me."

In short, we can't let Shen Gonglin get arrogant. He's prone to getting carried away when he's successful. You'd think that after mastering the Mindful Essence, Shen Gonglin should become a bit more composed. But Fu Hua can't see any of that kind of temperament in him at all. Yet he has completed the Mindful Essence and even reached the level of mastery. You really can't generalize about a person's physique.

"Hmm... I can try it out, but there are some moves I don't think I can do, or rather, I feel like it might hurt if I do them. Class President, you watch first. This is the Crescent Moon Sword Formation, and this is the Sea Severing and Sky Rifting..."

Shen Gonglin stood up somewhat reluctantly. She had indeed memorized all the moves, but some of them were simply inhuman. This must be a very profound skill. However, Shen Gonglin had never liked close combat. She quite liked the attack patterns of the Universal Angel. But now, if she didn't learn the Great Void Sword Qi, she would explode and die. Shen Gonglin could only force herself to watch and learn it properly.

This guy actually memorized the Form Resonance. This can't be real, right?

Chapter 258

Every move was honed through countless trials. The essence of Shen Gonglin's technique was as if she had been immersed in it for many years. Even compared to herself, she was only slightly less skilled. Fu Hua could hardly believe her eyes as she watched Shen Gonglin Rin demonstrate before her. She had only demonstrated it once, and this guy, while distracted, had even memorized her moves and power techniques. Although he didn't use Honkai energy, this was already something no one else could do. Just how smart is Shen Gonglin?

So you're smart, huh? Envious? You got it by trading emotional intelligence.

Shen Gonglin is indeed very intelligent, but that's only in terms of academics. In other areas, he's practically a model of someone who has no brains. Some call him a top student, but Shen Gonglin is a genius. He watched Fu Hua practice and secretly learned her Cun Xin Fist. Now she's demonstrating it all in front of him, and Shen Gonglin has seen it all and memorized it. This is probably what you call a legendary martial arts prodigy, except that his mental state is still far from being one.

"Class President, what do you think? I feel like this is about right."

After demonstrating a few moves of the Form Resonance Technique, Shen Gonglin looked at Fu Hua with some anticipation. She had said that in terms of innate talent, she was not special at all, just an ordinary person. Moreover, she was a little late in learning martial arts. Even Mindful Essence, she said, was only at the beginner level. So Shen Gonglin was quite worried. Since she wasn't the kind of genius protagonist, she wondered how well she had learned these Form Resonance moves. Should she really relax and study them seriously? Even Shen Gonglin wanted to make Fu Hua happy.

"Hmm... it's so-so. Overall it's alright. Just keep training seriously."

Fu Hua opened her mouth but still managed to say those words. She did want to praise Shen Gonglin, but knowing his personality, she knew he would get carried away if she praised him. Besides, Fu Hua Shen Gonglin felt strange about how quickly Shen Gonglin learned. She should be happy that he was learning so fast, but... but why did she feel so unhappy? She wanted to be a strict teacher and give Shen Gonglin some guidance, but he had already mastered everything. This left Fu Hua at a loss for what to do. In short...

It's still Shen Gonglin's fault.

That's why Fu Hua doesn't praise him. Even if he does something almost perfectly, Fu Hua still won't praise him because he's always making her angry.

So-so... I knew it wouldn't work. The Class President must have said that to save face. Actually, I'm a complete mess. The Class President said that the Great Void Sword Qi is a rather profound martial art. How could it be so simple? I guess the simplified version of the fist technique was created by the Class President to avoid hurting my pride. I guess my comprehension is really not good. If this continues, I'll explode and die sooner or later.

Shen Gonglin was unusually worried. This guy was narcissistic and valued his life. What would happen if he couldn't master the Tai Xu Five Aggregates and died? If he died, who would save this beautiful world? He needed to calm down and study properly.

Shen Gonglin calmed his mind, the Sword Heart Art resonating within him. The effects of his Mindful Essence manifested itself at this moment, and in an instant, Shen Gonglin adjusted his body to enter his optimal state. Fu Hua, who had been watching Shen Gonglin closely, twitched her lips. Of course, she knew Shen Gonglin's current state. In the blink of an eye, she had fully utilized her Mindful Essence. Shen Gonglin's Mindful Essence level was already comparable to her own. With this Mindful Essence as a foundation, Shen Gonglin would learn any martial arts techniques very quickly. Coupled with his almost heaven-breaking comprehension, Shen Gonglin's future achievements... Fu Hua was somewhat looking forward to seeing how far Shen Gonglin could go, but for now, he still needed her guidance.

"This stance should be like this: the arms should appear relaxed but be tense. When you use Honkai energy, the power will be greatly enhanced. The body should be slightly shorter... Shen Gonglin, your basic skills are not very good. Although you know the techniques and essence of power generation, your physical fitness still limits your strength. Let's go for a run together in a while."

Personally guiding Shen Gonglin through his minor flaws, Fu Hua helped correct his movements. The more she guided him, the more amazed Fu Hua became. She had already explained it many times, but Shen Gonglin's learning ability was truly extraordinary. He could grasp 90% on his own, and for the rest, she only needed to explain it to him briefly before he would understand perfectly. This ability was something Fu Hua had never seen before. However, there was still a problem, which was something Fu Hua had already understood: Shen Gonglin's physical fitness was still not up to par.

Although Tai Chi is said to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces of force, this is only the ideal state. If you try to deflect a thousand pounds, someone will hit you in the face with several heavy punches and you will be unable to withstand it and you will have to kneel down. Therefore, basic physical fitness is very important. Even if you are dressed in the best clothes, if you can't carry the weight, you can't move it.

"Huh? We have to run again? Didn't we already run this morning? And I've been practicing for so long, I'm already really tired. How about we call it a day and talk about the rest tomorrow?"

Upon hearing that they had to run, Shen Gonglin's expression immediately changed. He wasn't good at running; the run from his dorm to school that morning had almost killed him, and then he carried Bronya back to the dorm. He had been busy with all sorts of things all day without a break. If he continued running, Shen Gonglin felt he would really be ruined. People's physical condition is not the same for everyone, Shen Gonglin really couldn't run anymore.

"Why are you eating again today after you ate yesterday? This is a process that requires perseverance, Shen Gonglin. I'm doing this for your own good."

Fu Hua earnestly advised Shen Gonglin that running is something that can't be effective after just one run; you have to keep an eye on Shen Gonglin and make sure he perseveres. Everything else about him is fine, except for his mental state and physical condition. Fu Hua even considered getting him some herbal soaks, thinking that might help.
