The golden light in Ye Li's palm bloomed, weak currents forming a stamen, gold mixed with azure, even more dazzling than the electric flower from last time. "This time it's an advanced version, I guarantee you'll love it~"

Cindy embraced him and gave him a light kiss, readily agreeing, "I imagine you have a lounge here."

Sitting on the other side, Skye watched the current in Ye Li's hand, a doubtful expression on her face, "This, you can actually learn this?"

She felt like she was being tricked.

"We're here to learn painting, Cindy."

Felicia didn't get a seat, so she sat on the table a little unhappily, picking up a paintbrush from Ye Li's pen holder and playing with it, "Not to flirt... huh?"

As she spoke, she also saw the cool skill in Ye Li's palm, "Teacher, what's with the flower in your hand? Are you moonlighting as a magician?"

"Mysterious Eastern magic."

Ye Li continued to bluff, "Do you want to learn it?"

Cindy and Felicia exchanged glances, then nodded their smooth chins in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

Who cares about learning painting, isn't this much more magical?

And so.

In the painting studio that was supposed to be for painting.

Three youthful and charming girls practiced basic martial arts under Ye Li's close guidance.

Fortunately, his studio was big enough to withstand the chaos.

Outside the gallery.

A black car drove past.

"Happy, stop here for a moment."

Tony said to his bodyguard and driver, "See if that guy's here, maybe I can take a few paintings back."

He wasn't very interested in painting, but collecting art was a common practice among the wealthy.

Moreover, Tony knew the owner of this gallery and had some connections with him, and the style suited his aesthetic.

However, as soon as Tony and his bodyguard walked into the studio, they saw a beautiful spinning whip kick sweep past the tip of his nose, leaving him stunned.

What's going on?

An attack!?

"Tony, watch out!" Happy next to him quickly reached into his chest, as if to pull out a gun.

"Hey, hey, Happy, calm down!"

Tony reached out to stop Happy from drawing his gun, and looked at Cindy in front of him, "Young lady, I think this must be a misunderstanding?"

"You're... Mr. Stark?"

Cindy had seen reports about Tony on the news, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was practicing some martial arts just now... you suddenly walked in..."

Because of her physique, Cindy picked up the moves Ye Li taught the fastest, so she happened to sweep a kick past Tony's face.

Fortunately, her Spider-Sense was strong enough to stop the newly learned move in time.

"Uh, okay, it's my fault too."

Tony always had manners towards beautiful women, especially girls who still seemed to be in high school.

He then turned his gaze to Ye Li, who was surrounded by girls, and greeted him in a teasing manner.

"How come this place is still so simple, you should have listened to me and renovated it."

Ye Li was also a little surprised by Tony's arrival, and replied, "Billionaire, what brings you here?"

"I didn't come here specifically to buy paintings, just passing by and came in to take a look."

Tony's eyes swept over the differently styled Skye, Felicia, and Cindy, and he couldn't help but admire, "You have great taste, just a little young, but just right for you."

Ye Li raised his eyebrows, why did he always feel like Tony was saying he was luring ignorant young girls.

"Then you should also know..."

Ye Li, who had just been instructing Skye and the others, made a gesture of moving his arms, "You interrupted my good time."

"You're practicing self-defense with the girls?"

Tony had a knowing expression, "That's indeed very interesting~ What's the next step?

I think you should lock the door, so I can't come in, and I don't have to almost get kicked."

The three girls were a little shy when they heard them talking so directly, and shrank behind Ye Li without speaking.

Even Felicia, who had dropped her aloof persona in front of Ye Li, was quiet at this time, and returned to her cold appearance.

After all, they were still just high school students.

Moreover, Stark's identity made them not want to get involved in the conversation between the two.

He's a well-known playboy, after all.

But Tony was intrigued by Ye Li. "I didn't expect you, an artist, to start learning combat."

He struck a boxing pose, lightly bouncing on his feet, and invited Ye Li, "I've been practicing boxing with Happy lately. How about we spar?"

To prepare for being the superhero Iron Man, Tony had indeed been practicing combat recently, but since he had just started, his skill level was nothing to write home about.

He wasn't about to pass up the chance to spar with a newbie like Ye Li, where they could be evenly matched.

Moreover, the always flamboyant Tony Stark, while not interested in young girls, wanted to show off a little in front of the young beauties.

Seeing Tony's confident demeanor, Ye Li chuckled.

Well, well, a human sandbag delivered right to my door.

This is great, I can let Skye and the others see the techniques more clearly.

After all, demonstrating moves with girls always ends up with us getting all touchy-feely...

There's no such "worry" when sparring with Tony.

He was confident he could control his strength, so he wasn't afraid of accidentally killing Iron Man.

"Alright, let's go."

Ye Li walked to the center of the studio's open space and provoked Tony, "Don't worry, I'll hold back. I won't hurt you."

Trash talk.

Tony wouldn't fall behind, of course.

He turned to Happy and instructed, "If I can't hold back later, you quickly come and pull me away."

Happy nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely pull you away!"

Tony was satisfied.

He bounced on his feet and came to Ye Li, sizing him up. "You look like you've put on some muscle compared to before. You've been practicing well."

Ye Li returned the compliment, "You're not bad either."

After a round of mutual flattery, they began to exchange blows.

Happy watched closely from the side, as if he really would pull Tony away at any moment.

Skye and Felicia also watched curiously, wanting to know how effective the combat techniques Ye Li taught them were in actual combat.

Only Cindy showed little interest.

She knew that Stark, the famous billionaire and scientist, would be no match for a Spider-Totem wielder.

Ye Li didn't care about the punches Tony threw at him. He was just using Tony to demonstrate the moves to the girls; otherwise, he would have subdued him with one move long ago.

So after a few exchanges with Tony, he felt like he was being led by the nose. Every punch of his was either dodged or easily parried.

The force coming from the other side was not much different from his own, but he was being completely crushed in terms of technique.

Technique?

Wasn't that what he needed?

Tony's Iron Man armor didn't lack strength; he was practicing combat to enhance his fighting power with technique.

While Tony was distracted, Ye Li had demonstrated almost all the moves to Skye and the others. Seeing that he was absent-minded, he was about to end the sparring in the next move.

At this moment, Happy cleverly rushed forward and pulled Tony back, "Boss, your attacks are too fierce! Mr. Ye Li is probably about to be unable to withstand them!"

Tony came back to his senses and gave Happy an approving look, "Good job, Happy. I almost hurt him. Thanks to you, nothing happened."

Ye Li gave him a deadpan look—Do you have no shame?

But he didn't care.

Happy's combat skills were also only half-baked. The reason he could be Tony's bodyguard all along was more because of their friendship.
