Calm Down, Calm Down, Calm Down, Janet

"Hello, Teacher Zhou, I'm Janet, Luo Feng's classmate. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhou Ze opened the door and saw Janet, her blonde hair cascading, her features strikingly sculpted, holding a gift bag in one hand as she raised it to greet him. Her peach-blossom eyes looked at him with a gaze that could charm even a dog.

He could only sigh—no wonder she was the kind of existence that drew in a crowd of lechers in the anime. Janet's outfit wasn't much different from the show's, extremely bold, mostly black with purple accents.

Her flawless, saintly white skin was so dazzling it was hard to look away. Below her toned abs was an ultra-short skirt hugging her hips, and her devilish figure alone was enough to make blood rush without any effort.

Paired with her angelic face that blended allure and girlish innocence, the visual impact was overwhelming. The tear mole at the corner of her right eye added an extra touch of charm. Zhou Ze couldn't help but lament his past degenerate days—what bland, watery fare had he been subsisting on back then...

"Janet, it's a pleasure to meet you too. Come in and have a seat..."

Zhou Ze smiled slightly as he invited Janet inside, watching her perfect silhouette as she walked with a graceful, deliberate step. For a moment, he felt a bit dazed, but he snapped out of it quickly.

"Janet, would you like tea or alcohol?" After seating Janet on the living room sofa, Zhou Ze asked with a smile.

"Thanks, Teacher Zhou, but I'd prefer alcohol..." Janet's eyes crinkled with a smile. Even without trying, every glance and smile seemed designed to tempt men.

"Alright, red wine it is." Zhou Ze chuckled.

Thanks to the existence of Hong and Thunder God, and with China now the world's top nation, the whole world was obsessed with Chinese culture, even more so than with America before the Great Nirvana.

Tea, as a symbol of Chinese culture, was sought after by people of all ranks worldwide. No matter the occasion, there might be alcohol, but tea was always a must.

Grabbing a bottle of red wine and two glasses, he filled Janet's to the brim, then poured himself one. Zhou Ze initiated the conversation:

"Janet, right? Luo Feng's mentioned you to me. Back then, you caused him quite a bit of trouble."

"Oh?" Janet's small lips parted slightly as she covered them with her jade-like hand.

"Your pursuit gave him a real headache, haha. But that disciple of mine is a devoted, one-woman guy. His girlfriend is not only his moonlight but also his first love." Zhou Ze laughed heartily.

Janet retorted defiantly, "I'm clearly prettier than his girlfriend, more elegant, and on top of that, I'm a Warrior-level martial artist. In the future, I'm bound to become a rare Female War God..."

Zhou Ze shook his head with a smile. "The fact that you could make Luo Feng uneasy actually shows he was a bit flustered to begin with. Now that I've met you, you really are more beautiful than Xu Xin, have a better figure, and are a powerful martial artist."

"But feelings can't be forced..."

Janet ran a hand through her blonde hair and laughed. "True, I agree with that. But I think everything is worth fighting for. Even though I failed in the end, I don't regret it."

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhou Ze nodded in agreement. Women from noble backgrounds were indeed exceptional; they were systematically trained from a young age.

Janet's beautiful eyes curved, her red lips curling as she stared at Zhou Ze with a smile. "Teacher Zhou, little junior Luo Feng often brings you up in the Elite Training Camp. Every time he mentions you, he's full of admiration. I'm curious why that is."

Janet asked her doubts directly, a typical Western way of thinking.

"Probably because I helped him a lot." Zhou Ze said flatly.

"Like what?" Janet pressed without hesitation.

Zhou Ze was a bit speechless. "Because his blade techniques and movement skills were all taught by me. After he entered the Elite Training Camp, your teachers probably couldn't make him any better—at most, they could spar with him."

"You should have sparred with Luo Feng. Under the same physical conditions, didn't you feel he was harder to handle than your teacher Jiang Fang?"

Speak to people in their own language. You're direct, so I'll be direct too. I'm not taking that kind of treatment.

"That's true." Janet rested her chin on her right hand, her wrapped "fruit of the laws" looking even more prominent. "The top ten trainees in the Elite Training Camp have actually surpassed their teachers in force output, blade techniques, and movement skills. Besides, compared to other War God-level trainees, Luo Feng definitely has a gap in monster hunting."

"Even so, he managed to break into the top ten in his first month, which shows that in force output and such, he's already completely ahead of the other trainees and teachers."

Saying this, Janet's beautiful eyes turned to Zhou Ze, filled with intense curiosity. "Luo Feng always says it's all thanks to his teacher's guidance. Before he entered the Elite Training Camp, his force output was already at a very high level..."

"I asked him—before entering the camp, he had already mastered the fifth layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade. That's absolutely incredible! Plenty of War Gods can't even reach the third layer in their entire lives!"

"I'm stuck at the second layer myself. I know exactly how hard the Ninefold Thunderblade is to train. Teacher Zhou, can you help me?"

At this point, Janet seemed to realize something and picked up the bag on the table. "This is a gift I brought for you—Water of Life."

Zhou Ze shook his head inwardly, amused. "Your gift is precious, but I believe your effort will be worth it."

He didn't feel awkward about it—after all, she wasn't embarrassed either.

"Shall we head to the Training Hall?" Janet was eager, taking her martial arts very seriously.

In the Training Hall.

Janet moved with a graceful figure, beginning to demonstrate her Ninefold Thunderblade. Her stunning curves and perfect physique were on full display. If not for the long Jade Green War Blade in her hand, anyone would think she was dancing, showing off her charm.

No harm in looking. Zhou Ze analyzed Janet's blade techniques and force output while appreciating the beautiful sight—neither interfered with the other.

After finishing her demonstration, Janet's beautiful eyes held a hint of frustration. "Teacher Zhou, have you spotted my problem? I've been stuck at the second layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade for a long time. I just can't master the third layer."

Janet's eyes fixed on Zhou Ze, a glimmer of hope inside. She wanted to see if the man so highly praised by Luo Feng, now known as the invincible War God, could help her train.

Zhou Ze reluctantly withdrew his gaze. "It's just a small issue, but that very issue is what's keeping you from reaching the third layer. Plus, your integration of movement skills and blade techniques is too rough..."

Like a master manipulator, Zhou Ze pointed out Janet's flaws, making her feel as if she had just stepped onto the path of martial arts.

"Then tell me how to fix it." Janet's annoyed expression was quite charming. Even a beauty's anger was this captivating—no wonder so many lechers loved to tease girls into getting mad.

"You have a lot of problems. We'll solve them one by one." Zhou Ze said bluntly. "The key to why you can't break through to the third layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade is that your heart is unsettled..."

"To put it directly, when your heart is unsettled, your body tenses up, and so does your spirit, preventing the internal force from transmitting effectively."

"Also, your intent isn't pure enough. The Ninefold Thunderblade is all about 'speed'—speed to the extreme. When you first started practicing it, you might have kept that in mind, but over time, you've forgotten it a bit, or you haven't applied it to your blade techniques..."

Janet, half-convinced, began practicing the Ninefold Thunderblade according to Zhou Ze's guidance.

He didn't know how many times he had swung the blade, but the moment the Jade Green War Blade moved, a flash of cold light lit up the entire Training Hall, faintly carrying a strange ripple like a bolt of lightning.

"Pfft~ pfft~~"

The air produced a peculiar sonic boom from the shockwave.

"I... I think I've mastered the third layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade!!"

Janet was ecstatic, her face flushed. No one knew how long she had been stuck on the second layer, or how agonizing that stagnation had been. She never expected that just a few words from Zhou Ze would let her break through to the third layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade.

This... this was simply...

"Oh my god, this is incredible!"

Janet's mind was overwhelmed by joy. She tossed aside the Jade Green War Blade, turned into a blur, and charged straight at Zhou Ze, making the latter instinctively go on alert.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Zhou Ze!"

Janet, in her excitement, tightly hugged Zhou Ze. Her graceful, fiery figure clung to him like a suction cup, pressing firmly against his body.

The unique fragrance of a woman assailed his nostrils, refreshing and intoxicating!

The softness and firmness of her body made Zhou Ze instinctively glance at the stunning curve below her slender waist. Damn, if this kept up, he'd be in trouble...

Zhou Ze quickly hypnotized himself: "This is just her being overly excited, just her losing control. I can't have any improper reactions, at least not now..."

"Damn it, no, I have to pull her away!"

Zhou Ze didn't know if he had underestimated Janet's charm or if it was the lingering sentiment from watching anime in the past, but he felt that all his years of cultivation had been for nothing.

"Calm down, calm down, calm down... Janet..."
