"Hello, Teacher Zhou. I'm Janet, Luo Feng's classmate. It's nice to meet you."
Zhou Ze opened the door and saw Janet standing there, one hand holding a gift bag. She had golden hair and strikingly defined features, and she raised her hand to greet him. Even when looking at a dog, those peach-blossom eyes seemed to sparkle.
He could only say that it was no wonder she'd attracted so many thirsty fans in the anime. Janet dressed much as she did in the show, in a daring outfit that was mostly black with purple accents.
Her flawless, snow-white skin seemed to glow like holy light, making it hard to look away. Beneath the defined abs on her stomach was an ultra-short skirt that hugged her hips, and her devilish curves were enough to set anyone's blood racing.
With her angelic face, both alluring and girlish, the visual impact was overwhelming. The beauty mark at the corner of her right eye only added to her charm. Zhou Ze couldn't help thinking back on his misspent youth. What had he been living on back then—thin, flavorless soup?
"Janet, it's nice to meet you too. Come on in and have a seat..."
Zhou Ze smiled and welcomed Janet inside. Watching her perfect figure as she walked in with the Mysterious Step, he lost himself for a moment, but quickly pulled himself together.
"Janet, would you like tea or wine?" Zhou Ze asked with a smile after inviting her to sit on the living-room sofa.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou. I prefer wine..." Janet's eyes narrowed with a smile. Even without trying, every glance and smile of hers seemed to tempt men.
"Sure. Red wine, then." Zhou Ze smiled.
With Hong and Thunder God around, and Huaxia Country now the world's leading power, the whole world had become especially fascinated by Huaxia culture—more so than people had been with America before the Great Nirvana.
Tea, as a symbol of Huaxia culture, was naturally popular with people everywhere. No matter what kind of gathering it was, there might be alcohol, but tea was indispensable.
He took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses, filled Janet's glass, then poured himself one and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"You're Janet, right? Luo Feng has mentioned you to me. You gave him quite a bit of trouble back then."
"Oh?" Janet parted her lips and covered them with a delicate hand.
"Your pursuit of him gave him a headache, haha. My disciple is a devoted, faithful young man. His girlfriend isn't just his first love—she's the girl he's always held dear."
Janet protested, "I'm obviously prettier and more elegant than his girlfriend. Besides, I'm a Warrior Level fighter. I'm sure to become one of the rare Female War Gods in the future..."
Zhou Ze smiled and shook his head. "The fact that you gave Luo Feng a headache shows that he was already a little flustered. Now that I've met you, I can see that you really are prettier than Xu Xin, with a better figure, and you're a powerful fighter."
"But you can't force matters of the heart..."
Janet brushed the golden hair over her shoulder and smiled. "Yes, I agree with that. But I think you can still fight for what you want. I don't regret it, even though I ultimately failed."
"That's true enough." Zhou Ze nodded. A woman from a noble family really was exceptional; women like her received a systematic education from childhood.
Janet's lovely eyes curved as her red lips formed a smile. She fixed her gaze on Zhou Ze. "Teacher Zhou, little junior brother Luo Feng often talks about you at the Elite Training Camp. And whenever he does, he's full of admiration. I'm curious—why is that?"
Janet asked her question outright, just as a typical Westerner would.
"Maybe because I helped him a lot," Zhou Ze replied evenly.
"For example?" Janet asked bluntly.
Zhou Ze was speechless. "I taught him his blade techniques and footwork. After he joined the Elite Training Camp, your teachers probably couldn't make him much better—at most, they could spar with him."
"You've probably sparred with Luo Feng. With your physical attributes the same, did you ever feel he was harder to deal with than your teacher, Jiang Fang?"
You spoke plainly, so I'll do the same. I'm not going to let you put me on the spot.
"That's true." Janet rested her chin on her right hand, making the curves beneath her clothes look even more pronounced. "The top ten students at the Elite Training Camp have already surpassed their teachers in Force Emission, blade techniques, and footwork. And compared with the other War God Level students, Luo Feng must be at a disadvantage when it comes to hunting monsters."
"Even so, he made the top ten in his very first month. That shows that in Force Emission and other areas, he's already surpassed the other students and their teachers."
At this point, Janet looked at Zhou Ze, her lovely eyes brimming with curiosity. "Luo Feng always says it's all thanks to his teacher's guidance. But even before he joined the Elite Training Camp, his Force Emission was already at a very high level..."
"I asked him about it. Before he entered the camp, he'd already mastered the fifth level of the Ninefold Thunderblade. That's incredible. Plenty of War Gods never even reach the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade in their entire lives!"
"I'm stuck at the second level too, so I know how hard the Ninefold Thunderblade is to master. Teacher Zhou, could you help me?"
As she spoke, Janet came to her senses and picked up the bag on the table. "This is the gift I brought you: Water of Life."
Zhou Ze shook his head inwardly. Your gift is precious, but I believe your effort will be worth it.
Zhou Ze wasn't embarrassed. After all, she wasn't embarrassed either.
"Shall we go to the Training Hall?" Janet asked eagerly. She took her martial arts training very seriously.
Inside the Training Hall.
Janet moved gracefully as she began demonstrating her Ninefold Thunderblade. Her striking curves and perfect figure were on full display. If she hadn't been holding a long Jade Green War Blade, anyone would have thought she was dancing to show off her charm.
Might as well enjoy the view. Zhou Ze analyzed Janet's blade techniques and Force Emission while admiring her graceful figure. The two didn't conflict.
After finishing her demonstration, Janet looked at Zhou Ze with a trace of helplessness. "Teacher Zhou, did you spot what I'm doing wrong? I've been stuck at the second level of the Ninefold Thunderblade for a long time. No matter what I do, I can't master the third."
She gazed at Zhou Ze with hope in her eyes. She wanted to see whether the man praised by little junior brother Luo Feng, now known as the Invincible War God, could help her improve.
Zhou Ze reluctantly tore his gaze away. "It's just a small problem, but it's the reason you can't master the third level. Your footwork and blade techniques are also far too clumsy when combined..."
Like some kind of manipulative salesman, Zhou Ze pointed out Janet's flaws until she felt as if she'd only just started practicing martial arts.
"Then tell me how to fix them." Janet looked annoyed, but it was rather charming. Even an angry beauty was captivating. No wonder so many thirsty men liked to tease beautiful women until they got mad.
"You have a lot of problems. We'll take them one at a time," Zhou Ze said bluntly. "The key reason you can't break through to the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade is that your mind is unsettled..."
"To put it simply, when your mind is unsettled, your body tenses up, and so does your mind. That keeps you from transmitting Hidden Force effectively."
"Your intent is also impure. The Ninefold Thunderblade is all about one thing: speed. The utmost speed. When you first started practicing it, you might have kept that in mind, but as time passed, you probably forgot about it or failed to apply it to your blade techniques..."
Half-convinced, Janet followed Zhou Ze's instructions and began practicing the Ninefold Thunderblade.
After who knew how many swings, the Jade Green War Blade shifted, and a streak of cold light flashed across the entire Training Hall. A strange ripple seemed to flicker around it, like a bolt of lightning.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The air gave off strange shock waves and a sonic boom.
"I... I think I've mastered the third level of the Ninefold Thunderblade!"
Janet was overjoyed, her cheeks flushed. No one knew how long she'd been stuck at the second level, or how much it had tormented her. Yet Zhou Ze had explained a few things, and she'd mastered the third level.
This... this was simply...
"Oh my God, this is unbelievable!"
Overwhelmed with joy, Janet dropped the Jade Green War Blade and shot toward Zhou Ze like a streak of light. He instinctively tensed.
"Thank you so much, Teacher Zhou!"
Too excited to hold back, Janet hugged Zhou Ze tightly. Her curvaceous, voluptuous figure pressed against him like a suction cup.
Her unique, delicate fragrance filled his nose, refreshing and intoxicating!
Her soft, firm body made Zhou Ze instinctively look down at the incredible curve below her slender waist. Oh man, if this kept up, he was going to embarrass himself...
Zhou Ze hurriedly tried to hypnotize himself. "She's just too excited and happy. She can't control herself. I mustn't react the wrong way—at least not right now..."
Damn, this isn't good. I need to get her off me!
Zhou Ze didn't know whether he'd underestimated Janet's allure or whether his old feelings from watching the anime were getting to him. He felt as if all the composure he'd cultivated over the years had gone to the dogs.
"Calm down, calm down, just calm down, Janet..."
