Praise

"Yes, Teacher!"

Chen Shouyi immediately went over to put on the protective suit. A few minutes later, he stood before the Beautiful Teacher.

"Everyone, watch my demonstration carefully!" Seeing that Chen Shouyi was ready, the Beautiful Teacher thrust out her sword.

Chen Shouyi felt that her sword was somewhat slow. He did not feel any pressure at all. The next moment, his body slid backward a great step as if moving horizontally, easily dodging the Beautiful Teacher's Sting Sword.

He had spent half the morning in the Otherworld that morning, and even now his feet still felt somewhat light and airy. At this kind of sword speed, dodging it was practically effortless for him.

The Beautiful Teacher was stunned for a moment, then swept Chen Shouyi with her beautiful eyes.

According to her lesson plan, things were not supposed to go like this. He should have been completely unable to dodge and been stabbed in a sorry state. Then she would explain in detail why he had failed, so that all the trainees could understand clearly.

That way, she could also demonstrate her teaching ability.

But she had never expected that this brat would actually dodge it.

Coming back to herself, she could only continue, "Mm, Chen Shouyi did fairly well. Again!"

Unfortunately, Chen Shouyi had no idea what the Beautiful Teacher was thinking. He hurriedly stood before her again.

Who would have thought that the moment he had taken his position, she would launch a Forward Lunge Stab? The Safety Sword let out a soft whistle and shot toward him with lightning speed.

Before the sword had even been thrust out, his body had already reacted instinctively. The muscles in both his legs erupted with force, and when his feet slid across the ground, he moved three-tenths faster than before, once again dodging with ease.

Perhaps because his perception had improved, his instincts had become even stronger. The moment the other person's body moved, before his mind had even reacted, his body had already begun dodging subconsciously.

The sword tip was still an inch away from Chen Shouyi, but that single inch seemed as distant as the ends of the earth.

All the trainees stared in dumbfounded amazement, their hearts and spirits enthralled.

"This is impossible!" The Beautiful Teacher's eyes widened slightly, and she was deeply shocked.

If the previous attempt could still be attributed to her carelessness and failure to estimate his true strength,

then this time, although she had not erupted with her full strength, she had still used seventy to eighty percent of her power. Moreover, she had taken advantage of his rushed preparation. Yet, she had never expected him to dodge it again.

Such terrifying neural reaction speed and ability to predict movements in an instant left even her looking somewhat inferior by comparison.

She looked at Chen Shouyi. Through his mask, she seemed to see the faint, smug smile at the corners of his mouth:

"Good, very good. Chen Shouyi did very well. Again."

Her voice seemed to come from between her clenched teeth.

She refused to believe this.

Even the dullest person would have sensed by now that the Beautiful Teacher's mood was somewhat off. Chen Shouyi noticed that her originally gentle, graceful, and approachable pretty face had now become expressionless and forbidding. He immediately understood.

No matter how gentle a woman looked, she was still a woman!

He hurriedly braced himself and stood properly.

The Beautiful Teacher wore a dark expression and said nothing. Her sword shot out again, almost like lightning tearing through the sky.

This time, Chen Shouyi restrained his body's instincts and deliberately slowed his movements by half a beat. The moment he raised his foot, he heard a sharp smack!, and his chest went numb.

The Beautiful Teacher's expression immediately eased somewhat. "This time, Chen Shouyi did not do very well. Now let us analyze why he failed to defend himself.

"First, he was not focused. His gaze was dull. You must understand that being distracted in battle is a grave taboo.

"Second,...

"Third,..."

Chen Shouyi stood where he was, his expression wooden!

After finishing her explanation, the Beautiful Teacher told Chen Shouyi to return.

During the subsequent demonstrations of bodily evasion, defense, and weapon defense, Chen Shouyi no longer had any chance to take the field.

After class, Chen Shouyi had just prepared to leave when the Beautiful Teacher called out to him.

"Chen Shouyi, wait a moment!"

"Teacher Wang, what did you want me for?"

She brushed back her temple hair, seeming somewhat embarrassed to speak. "Actually... at your current level, you no longer need to come here for lessons."

Chen Shouyi froze for a moment. He somewhat understood what she meant and said reluctantly, "But there's still a lot I haven't learned!"

The Beautiful Teacher's face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly said:

"You misunderstood. I mean that your learning ability is too strong. Continuing to follow the class and study step by step would be too wasteful. When I have free time in the evenings, I'll set aside a few nights to give you private guidance. What do you think?

Chen Shouyi was overjoyed upon hearing this. He had long felt that studying at the training class was too inefficient. If this was possible, it could not be better.

He hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you, Teacher Wang."

"That's good. Write down my phone number: 1348392####. I'll only tutor you for three evenings. If you're free on any given night, call me in advance."

Chen Shouyi quickly took out his phone, wrote down the number, and called it back once. Then he said, "I'm free tomorrow evening. What do you think, Teacher Wang?"

"Tomorrow evening?" The Beautiful Teacher hesitated briefly before finally nodding. "Then come over. I live at Building 12, Room 1201, Shanshui Residential Community. Call me when you arrive."

After Chen Shouyi returned, he entered the Otherworld again.

It was still morning in the Otherworld.

Another small pile of gold sand had accumulated on the ground. Clearly, Shell Girl had not slackened after he left.

He sat on the ground, intending to relax for a while, when he suddenly had an idea. He grabbed the rope tied around Shell Girl and pulled her back from a distance.

"Bozhaluokebaduo!"

"We're friends!"

"Puduo!" Shell Girl rolled her eyes at him, turned her head aside, and said angrily.

Listening carefully, Chen Shouyi happened to recognize this word. It was an insult, roughly meaning bastard or scoundrel.

Chen Shouyi did not mind in the slightest. He only felt excited. After all, he could finally communicate with her.

He spoke again:

"Puluolanzeikaku!"

"I bring peace and friendship!"

Shell Girl immediately became agitated upon hearing this. She pointed her little finger at Chen Shouyi and rattled off a long string of words, finally spitting a "ptui!" at him.

Chen Shouyi did not care at all. He wiped away the flecks of saliva, but even after listening carefully for a long while, he still could not understand what she meant.

Seeing that her emotions were beginning to grow unstable and that she refused to cooperate,

Chen Shouyi had his own solution. He immediately rummaged in the corner of his pocket and pulled out a tiny glass bead. He waved it before her, and the next moment, she immediately quieted down.

However, he also felt that those words had been somewhat inappropriate.

He took Common Dialogue for Interacting with Barbarians from his briefcase and flipped through it. At last, he found a suitable short phrase.

"You look really beautiful!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Shell Girl's body stiffened. Her eyes widened as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then Chen Shouyi noticed that her skin was visibly turning red.

Seeing that it had worked, Chen Shouyi's spirits lifted. He immediately flipped through the book and found another sentence.

"You're truly a kindhearted girl."

"You're incredibly hardworking!"

"Even the sun above your head cannot match the radiance on your body."

Chen Shouyi continued searching for similar short phrases. Shell Girl, who had lived alone on a Small Island since childhood, had never heard such praise. Her face grew redder and redder, and her head drooped lower and lower. Soon, her body was as red as a boiled crab, practically steaming.
