Military Boxing, Bionic Style

"What the hell!"

So the twenty "foraging" missions required to upgrade [Overgrowth] meant this?

Qin Shi's throat involuntarily twitched. His body seemed to activate a switch, allowing him to clearly smell the alluring scent emanating from Teacher Lin.

The fragrance of a virgin, mixed with the instinctive attraction of a female creature, was like a stimulating pheromone that amplified the senses.

It was no different from mixing a dipping sauce so delicious you'd dip your shoe sole in it before eating hot pot.

Completely irresistible!

Gulp.

Qin Shi swallowed again, his gaze both indifferent and fervent, like a diner staring at meat on a plate, devoid of any emotion yet eager to devour it!

"You little brat..."

Lin Yunqing tilted her head back, about to retort stubbornly, but met that condescending gaze, like that of a predator at the top of the food chain.

Clink!

A chill ran down her spine, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"I'm actually scared? This is bad! Now it's my turn for my Dao heart to be brutally trampled!"

Lin Yunqing involuntarily lowered her head, her entire body trembling.

Her previously tough demeanor instantly crumbled, like a pathetic stray dog by the roadside, wagging its tail and begging for food.

The reason for this was that the female teacher genuinely felt that...

The genius youth from the Old Martial Arts Faction before her... seemed to truly not mind wiping her out?

Like a fish on a chopping block, waiting to be butchered.

Thus, an inexplicable sense of dread arose!

How old was he? How much blood had stained his hands?

How could he already possess the aura of such a ruthless individual who killed indiscriminately and treated lives as mere grass?

"I'm really hungry."

The text information imprinted on his retinas flickered faintly. Qin Shi ignored Lin Yunqing's changing expression and subconsciously raised his palm.

[Beginner Achievement - Overgrowth]

[Trait: Extremely sensitive to substances rich in high nutrition and high energy, gaining absorption and digestion capabilities exceeding those of similar creatures.]

"So, martial artists with a high level of Life Force Development are also considered a type of 'high nutrition,' 'high energy' food.

But I'm not Hannibal; it's really hard for me to lay a hand on my own kind."

Qin Shi's mind cleared. The moment his confusion was resolved, he felt like he'd been doused with a basin of ice water, instantly waking up.

He suppressed the abnormal hunger and prepared to help up Teacher Lin, who had been beaten to her knees.

However, he found that his own hand had, at some unknown time, already tightly gripped her slender neck.

His strong knuckles pressed into her delicate skin, the sensation incredibly fine.

Teacher Lin's beautiful face was etched with a deep look of horror.

Am I being a bit scary right now?

Won't they think I'm a born killer?

Qin Shi coughed twice and quickly spoke:

"Sorry, Teacher Lin, I was a bit heavy-handed just now. Are you alright?"

Lin Yunqing's body stiffened, like a piece of wood, as Qin Shi helped her up.

She felt lingering fear: "My older brother told me that people from the Old Martial Arts Faction always draw blood when they fight and shed blood when they make enemies. They're lunatics, and I should never provoke them. I didn't believe it before, but I've learned my lesson this time!"

"Teacher Lin, are you alright?"

Qin Shi scratched his head and asked again.

Why is this woman acting like she's stunned?

I only hit her eye socket, not her brain.

Why does she look so dazed and vacant after the fight?

"Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin, it was my fault just now for offending you. I apologize..."

Lin Yunqing said pitifully, like a frightened little girl.

She's gone from a Siberian tiger to a golden tabby again, her voice even more pinched. What tricks is this woman playing?

Qin Shi frowned inwardly and quietly created some distance.

Just in case Teacher Lin turned on him and suddenly launched a sneak attack.

He always understood that women were unreasonable, let alone unvirtuous in martial arts!

"I know your Old Martial Arts Faction values rules, not sending challenge letters, challenging rashly, pointing fingers in public, and disregarding status... these are all taboo behaviors."

Lin Yunqing took a punch and immediately became obedient, sincerely admitting her mistake.

If anyone who knew her saw this, the most notorious shrew in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area.

She was as docile as a kitten in front of her students, they would probably be shocked speechless.

"Our Old Martial Arts Faction?"

Qin Shi's eyes held a strange look.

What had the bitch been imagining?

Her attitude changed drastically!

"No wonder they say, 'A woman is not virtuous, she deliberately bombards with punches!'

After teaching them a lesson, she still wouldn't let me on the table to eat. Truly the wisdom of the elders!"

Qin Shi joked silently, suppressing his surprise, and quickly slipped into the role of "the sole hidden descendant of the Old Martial Arts Faction":

"To meet friends through martial arts was a beautiful story in the past. Teacher Lin's lineage doesn't seem to come from a top university professor."

Every time she remembered Qin Shi's indifferent gaze, Lin Yunqing felt a chill from the bottom of her heart, as if her Dao heart had been shattered, and her previous condescending attitude of playing around vanished.

Her voice was timid:

"My 'Three Emperors Cannon Fist' is a family tradition."

Wasn't Three Emperors Cannon Fist part of the Old Martial Arts Faction?

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. The "momentum" contained in Lin Yunqing's Fighting Style didn't seem like the Old Martial Arts Faction, which focused on natural phenomena and spiritual enlightenment.

"My grandfather improved it, drawing from the Old Martial Arts and incorporating moves from Military Boxing.

The so-called Three Emperors are the Heavenly Emperor Anti-Aircraft Cannon, the Earth Emperor Tank Cannon, and the Human Emperor Cannon.

If we break it down further, there's also a version called 'Sea, Land, and Air Amphibious Cannon Fist,' derived from 'Naval Cannon,' 'Machine Cannon,' and 'Howitzer.'"

Lin Yunqing explained earnestly.

I'm so scared you'll say "Nuclear Light Wave Fist," "Myriad Radiance Gathering Palm," or "Magnetic Field Rotation Million Horsepower"!

Qin Shi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

If the Old Martial Arts Faction was for extreme masochists.

The New Martial Arts Faction looked like a bunch of lunatics who had messed up their technology tree.

Using a Mortal Body and muscle power to simulate the fission reaction of thermal weapons?

It truly gave a sense of dislocation, as if "physics no longer existed."

"I study Military Boxing, Bionic Style. My punches and kicks are like cannonballs, my movements are like armored vehicles, fighter jets; all my Fighting Styles and moves imitate modern weaponry."

Seeing Qin Shi's interest, Lin Yunqing added a few more words.

I strongly suspect there's also a "Two-Dimensional Plane Great Strength Palm" and "Water Droplet Ship-Destroying Technique."

High-level martial arts bionics, truly wild!

If I joined the New Martial Arts Faction, could I comprehend the "Two Bombs, One Satellite Fist," "One Star Finger," or "Dongfeng Guided Missile Seal"?

Qin Shi shook off his distracting thoughts and promptly changed the subject, turning his attention to the unruly youths who had been thrown around.

"Teacher Lin, do you know the origin of these people?"

"Just some stray dogs raised by a nouveau riche."

When mentioning irrelevant people, Lin Yunqing's expression turned cold, and she regained her original intellectual demeanor.

"Assistant Teacher Qin, don't worry, I will handle this trouble for you."

She took out her touchscreen phone, unlocked the screen, and dialed a number.

The two top universities in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area were Qiguang Hengda University and Kai'an Keda University.

They had long and rich histories, founded by the pioneers of Dongxia's mechanical and spiritual energy fields, Mr. Wei Qiguang and Mr. Zhu Jiakai, respectively. They had been passed down for several millennia.

In the office of the Director of General Affairs at Qiguang Hengda University, the red landline on the internal line rang.

Lin Xiaohan, a man in his forties and in his prime, picked up the receiver.

After listening for a few seconds, his expression turned helpless:

"Little sister, how many times have I told you, don't call this number unless it's important."

"Brother, I'm being bullied!"

Lin Xiaohan shook his head:

"Address me by my title when at work! At home, you're my sister, but here..."

"Here, you are Director Lin, who educates and nurtures students and serves the citizens. I am a student of Hengda University and a good citizen of the Tai'an Metropolitan Area! Don't you have an obligation to help me resolve my troubles?"

The retort from the other end of the phone was merciless.

"Alright, alright, I can't control you. Go back and let Dad teach you a lesson! Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into now? Whose young master did you beat up? Whose influential boss did you offend?

You almost broke one of the Qin family's legs and were sent to the Youth Palace for reflection and self-criticism. How can you still be so restless!"

Lin Xiaohan felt a headache coming on. His sister had been mischievous and prone to fighting since she was young, especially after learning New Martial Arts from their father. She had beaten up almost every young master in the Tai'an Metropolitan Area.

Any unlucky fellow who didn't have eyes and dared to show off or flaunt their wealth in front of her ended up with a bruised and swollen face.

"That Qin guy started it. I hate pretentious jerks the most!"

Lin Yunqing's true nature was revealed on the other end of the phone, no longer the dignified and elegant demeanor.

"Some stray cat or dog, calling himself Brother Long, who appeared at the International Finance Center last time, shamelessly tried to pursue me. He brought a bunch of lackeys and blocked my way at the Youth Palace."

Lin Xiaohan's brows furrowed. He simply said:

"Wait for me."

He hung up the phone and dialed another white landline.

"Secretary Xu, please come in. Go and investigate if there's anyone named Brother Long in Tai'an."

About half an hour later, Lin Xiaohan received a paper file.

"Wang Long?"

Secretary Xu stood respectfully:

"I had a friend pull up the surveillance footage from the Youth Palace and verify the situation. It's him. He's an insignificant thug who's made some money over the years by taking on construction projects."

Qiguang Hengda University belonged to the Dongxia Ministry of Education. It not only possessed nearly independent administrative power but was also second only to the Central City Governor's Mansion in status, standing on equal footing with the metropolitan area's administrative high-ups.

Asking the patrol department for help was a simple matter.

However, Secretary Xu was filled with doubts. How could a character like Wang Long be worthy of appearing on Director Lin's desk?

"Mm."

Lin Xiaohan nodded. Just as he was about to close the file and process it, his peripheral vision caught a detail:

"His boss is Qin Lihao?"

Secretary Xu had scanned it briefly before coming and had memorized the key points, so he was well aware:

"Yes, Qin Lihao's Yuhai Construction Company has grown larger and larger over the years. Wang Long is one of his capable subordinates.

Oh, and Yuhai Construction is preparing for the bidding for the Old Factory Street shantytown renovation project, as well as the Dangyang Eastern Suburbs redevelopment project to be launched in the second half of the year."

Are those metropolitan area higher-ups starting to grab land again?

Lin Xiaohan tapped the file bag with his fingers:

"My little sister just beat up Qin Zhijie a while ago, and today she was bullied by Qin Lihao's subordinate. Our Lin family and the Qin family truly clash."

After a moment of thought, the Hengda University administrative director, who had been transferred from Yazhou, smiled:

"Tomorrow, let's organize a debate for the students to openly discuss land acquisition and forced demolition behaviors that endanger citizen safety and collective interests in urban construction. We'll publish the content in the school newspaper and arrange a special interview with the metropolitan area television station.

Additionally, I personally hope that all departments in the metropolitan area will conduct a large-scale investigation and rectification of such malicious conduct."

Secretary Xu was slightly shocked. They said a new official would make three fires.

Why was Director Lin's first fire so unprovoked?

After all, the educational systems of Hengda and Keda Universities had always maintained a clear separation from the metropolitan area's administrative system, with no interference.

"Little Assistant Teacher Qin, it's solved!"

Lin Yunqing said triumphantly:

"My place is quite big. Do you want to come over later?

Your Old Martial Arts Faction's secret techniques are truly extraordinary. You managed to defeat me, who is nearly nineteen points, with only twelve points of vitality."

I'm already at fifteen points!

Qin Shi didn't say anything. The level of vitality development could only be roughly judged by the peaks of Qi and fighting movements.

This was the case for everyone below at least the amateur level two.

"Teacher Lin, do you have any detection instruments installed at your place?"

Qin Shi, who had intended to refuse, suddenly asked.

"Hmm."

Lin Yunqing pondered for a moment and replied:

"It can be arranged, it can be installed."
