Prime Minister, Rest in Peace!

(⊙o⊙)...

Zhao Wu was a little dumbfounded. He had no idea what Qin Chen was planning.

What, were you going to learn it on the spot?

Watching Qin Chen seriously flip through Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps, Zhao Wu became increasingly convinced that this was exactly what he intended.

He could not help laughing in exasperation.

"If you can learn Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps just by looking at it once, I'll eat everything in every toilet in the whole school!"

"Tricking people into feeding you isn't good behavior!"

"Besides, I've already learned it!"

With that, Qin Chen closed the manual, his eyes brimming with confidence.

Under Zhao Wu's disbelieving gaze.

Qin Chen's figure suddenly shot in one direction, swift as the wind, far faster than before.

Yet even at such high speed, Qin Chen's figure was like drifting clouds at dusk, resplendent and ever-changing. His path curved and flowed, his posture light and elegant.

It possessed both speed and beauty!

And this beauty was not merely pleasing to the eye—it was immensely deceptive. In actual combat, it was even more useful than the technique's other trait of extreme speed.

(＃°Д°)!!

Beside him, Zhao Wu had risen completely from his recliner. He stared in disbelief at Qin Chen, who kept darting and weaving ahead of him, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

He even rubbed his eyes hard several times, making sure he was not seeing things.

Then he slapped himself viciously several times, making sure he was not dreaming.

Once he came back to his senses and confirmed that he was neither mistaken nor dreaming, Zhao Wu's eyes lit up brilliantly.

He looked at Qin Chen as though he were looking at some stunning beauty, unwilling to blink even once.

As if sensing a certain unpleasant gaze, Qin Chen stopped his demonstration.

The moment he turned around and met Zhao Wu's excited stare, his glute muscles inexplicably tensed.

"Hey! Old man, don't look at me like that!"

"Or I'm afraid I'll have to break the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"

Seeing Qin Chen's disgusted expression, Zhao Wu instantly understood what he meant.

His face immediately darkened as he cursed at Qin Chen.

"What the hell are you saying, brat?"

"This old man's preferences are perfectly normal! Just yesterday, I was with the owner of the bun shop at the school gate..."

"Ahem!"

Zhao Wu's words came to an abrupt halt midway, but he could no longer stop Qin Chen from looking at him strangely.

If he remembered correctly, the owner of the bun shop at the school gate seemed to be a...?

Not bad, not bad!

No matter which world it was, there were always descendants of the Cao clan!

Chancellor, rest in peace!!

"Hey! Old man!"

"I'm going in to pick another battle skill!"

"Go on, go on!"

Zhao Wu waved a hand and lay back down on his recliner, as though the person who had been wildly excited just now had not been him at all.

Qin Chen did not hesitate. He had only just come out, yet he headed back into the Battle Skill Pavilion.

This time, Qin Chen was much faster. He came back out less than two minutes after entering.

After all, during his first selection, he had already looked through every D-rank Combat Skill inside.

For his second choice, he naturally went straight for the saber technique he wanted.

"Hm?! Shaking Mountains City Destroying Saber?"

Seeing the manual in Qin Chen's hands, Zhao Wu let out another surprised sound.

"You brat, you only pick battle skills that are hard to learn!"

"Is it hard? I don't think so."

Qin Chen smiled.

The moment he said that, Zhao Wu instinctively wanted to retort. But then he suddenly recalled how Qin Chen had learned Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps after reading it once.

The rebuttal caught in his throat, and he swallowed it back down.

Forget it. The more said, the more likely something would slip out!

Watching Qin Chen's departing back, Zhao Wu's eyes flickered. Then he suddenly called out:

"Kid! Come find me once you break through to the Star Vein Realm and cultivate the Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps to Grand Completion!"

"This old man will give you something good!!"

Qin Chen stopped short and immediately turned around, his eyes blazing with excitement.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time!

Something that good? Another free gift?

Though Qin Chen did not know Zhao Wu well, the old geezer looked cocky as hell.

There were only two possibilities.

Either he was putting on an act, or he really had something up his sleeve.

And judging from how casually he had let Qin Chen choose an additional D-rank Combat Skill earlier, the latter was far more likely.

At that thought, Qin Chen's smile grew even brighter.

He had not expected that merely choosing the Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps would lead to so many developments.

Not only could he learn an extra copy of the Shaking Mountains City Destroying Saber, but there was even a follow-up reward!

Cultivate the Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps to Grand Completion?

Wasn't that ridiculously easy?

The Flowing Clouds Chasing Moon Steps were easy to cultivate! Too easy!

Not even three days—one night at most!

The only thing that might take some time was breaking through to the Star Vein Realm.

The Star Vein Realm was the realm after the Body Tempering Realm.

After reaching the Body Tempering Ninth Layer, one could attempt to open meridians within the body. Once a single star vein was successfully opened, one would officially step into the Star Vein Realm.

Breaking through to the Star Vein Realm was no simple matter.

More than ninety percent of the Martial Artists in this world spent their entire lives struggling in the Body Tempering Realm. In the end, less than ten percent ever broke through into the Star Vein Realm.

But for him, breaking through to the Star Vein Realm was only a matter of time. Otherwise, wouldn't this cheat have been opened for nothing?

Qin Chen looked at Zhao Wu, cupped his fists, and asked with a trace of respect:

"May I ask your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Zhao."

Zhao Wu gave him an indifferent glance.

"Oh!"

"Elder Zhao! Then I'll thank you in advance!"

"Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I know absolutely nothing about the story an old man and the owner of the bun shop at the school gate had no choice but to tell!"

As he spoke, Qin Chen gave Zhao Wu a thumbs-up, then turned and vanished in a puff of smoke.

The flesh on Zhao Wu's face twitched nonstop as he forcibly suppressed the urge to grab Qin Chen and beat him half to death.

He kept comforting himself inwardly:

"He's a genius! It's normal for him to have a little personality!"

"This old man will just endure it and it'll pass..."

"Pass my ass!!"

(╬▔皿▔)╯!

Zhao Wu reached out and grabbed at empty air. A huge pale-blue hand suddenly appeared behind Qin Chen, seized him, and yanked him back toward Zhao Wu.

Qin Chen: (⊙o⊙)...

I'm done for! Barbie Qed!!

At that moment, in a certain hospital in Muyang City.

Inside a hospital room.

He Yi was sitting on the bed. Beside him stood a Middle-aged Man and a rather sharp-featured woman.

The two were He Yi's parents.

On the other side stood a doctor in a white coat.

At that moment, he was staring at the pale-blue display before him with a deep frown.

After a long while, he lightly waved his hand, and the blue display vanished.

Then he turned his gaze toward He Yi on the bed.

The look in the doctor's eyes made He Yi's heart tremble. He asked shakily:

"Doctor! I... my brother, he's okay, right?"

"He's fine!"

The doctor answered softly.

The moment those words came out, both He Yi on the bed and He Yi's parents on the other side unconsciously let out a breath of relief.

Smiles appeared on their faces.

But the doctor's next sentence froze those not-yet-fully-bloomed smiles on their faces.

"He's fine! He's just useless now!"
