After two months of training, Chu Wen looked at the information on the panel with satisfaction.

The entire set of Chaos Combat Method had been raised to the Perfection level. Any further, and he would not have enough Potential Points.

Since it was a complete combat method, matching proficiency levels produced the best results when used together.

It had to be said that this set of Chaos Combat Method had brought a qualitative transformation to his actual combat strength!

Every move linked seamlessly to the next!

The blade technique, combined with the force-generating methods of the fist technique, perfectly turned the blade into an extension of his arm!

As for his movement and blade martial skills, he could only keep one of each at the same time. Naturally, Chu Wen retained the twice limit-broken Shadow Follows Form; the Burning Blade Technique and the unimprovable Abyssal Blade could only remain locked.

As long as he ran fast enough, even powerful enemies would have no way to deal with him!

Over the past two months, he had already mastered his new strength. There would no longer be incidents like crushing a water cup in his grip.

Yuchi Yu's research had also gradually gotten on track.

Several of his old friends flew over from Kyoto Martial University whenever they had the time to help out. The laboratory was busy beyond measure.

Chen Dai had even called Liu Changshou over to help. Chen Dai himself was preparing for the upcoming arena tournament.

Among the Jiangnan Martial Faction, only Chen Dai had signed up. The others chose to complete society missions, earning school contribution points for the Jiangnan Society in exchange for year-end resource dividends.

That was what most ordinary students did. Someone who improved as rapidly as Chu Wen could not be found anywhere else in the entire New Hang campus.

Lin Wei's injuries had mostly healed as well, though she still could not return to peak strength and needed a little more time.

The days passed one by one, and the points tournament qualifiers drew ever closer.

Two figures darted through the martial arts room.

Chu Wen leaped across wooden stakes as if strolling through a garden. The wooden blade on his back occasionally sent nearly imperceptible ripples through the air.

Ssslash—!

Lightning suddenly flashed from a dark corner. In almost the blink of an eye, it appeared before Chu Wen. As the sharp tip of the Mother Halberd glinted with a thread of electricity beneath the light, it swept upward toward his head.

Chu Wen tilted slightly, shifting only half a body's width in midair. He thrust out an empty-handed punch, meeting the killing move of the other Child Halberd head-on.

Bang!

Lin Wei, wielding the wooden Mandarin-Duck Twin Halberds, used the "White Ape Scoops Fruit" stance and struck empty air. She hung in the air for a moment before slowly landing back atop a wooden stake.

Meanwhile, Chu Wen stood calmly where he was, not even forced back a step.

"Chu Wen, your Chaos Combat Method doesn't seem all that impressive. You've been passively taking hits the whole time, only dodging with that movement technique."

Lin Wei tried to shake his resolve with her words. Her martial arts uniform was already soaked with sweat.

She possessed the Lin Family's paired combat methods of "Eight Trigrams Palm" and "Mother-and-Child Halberds," yet the battle had been exceptionally difficult.

"Then I'll use just one move. Watch closely."

Chu Wen drew the wooden blade resting across his back. An invisible presence rose from his body.

It was the same feeling Lin Wei got when facing a Demon King. Chu Wen was like a Demon King; the instant he picked up his blade, his aura became terrifying!

The Chaos Blade Technique could borrow chaos to breed killing intent! Combined with the Chaos Fist Technique, it could turn chaos into Chaos, achieving the effect of Chaos giving rise to Taiji!

At the Perfection level, the Chaos Blade Technique could produce three blades from one within disorder! It also possessed the nimbleness of the fist technique, striking according to the flow of the situation.

As he stepped through the Eight Gates, Lin Wei even had the illusion of facing an Eight Trigrams lesson. It shared the same marvelous principle as the Lin Family's Eight Trigrams Steps.

Seeing that things were going badly, Lin Wei began moving through the Li and Gen positions, circling around to evade.

Yet she discovered that under the pressure of the Chaos Combat Method, no matter where she dodged, she would directly face two of the three blade strikes!

"I lose."

Lin Wei raised both hands in surrender. If she truly faced that blade technique, she would probably end up sprawled on the ground again.

Her injuries had not even fully healed yet.

Chu Wen had not truly intended to strike. The might of this Chaos Combat Method was far too terrifying; perhaps he should not even have raised it to the Perfection level. The Mastery level would have been enough within the campus.

The oppressive feeling of one blade becoming three, coupled with the resulting Chaos Combat Method, was not something ordinary martial skills could compare to.

"This move is called 'Yin-Yang Splits Dawn from Dusk.' It can only be used once the Chaos Combat Method reaches Perfection. Using it against you really is bullying."

Chu Wen smiled, but then his gaze turned toward the doorway, where he saw a plainly dressed young woman.

"Weiwei, your injuries haven't even healed completely! I came all this way to see you, but your family's nanny said you were in the martial arts room. You really don't take this seriously enough."

Lin Wei hurriedly wiped the sweat from her face, jumped down from the wooden stake, and dusted herself off. Looking a little embarrassed, she said, "Qianqian, why are you here...?"

"I'm on autumn break. After seeing the photo you posted last time, I've been worried about your hand."

The woman was Zhao Qian, Lin Wei's best friend from middle school. She grabbed Lin Wei's hand and examined it painfully for a long while. "Your hands have gotten so rough. Have you been using the miracle toner I mailed you last time?"

"Your hair is split at the ends too. You had such lovely long hair—why did you cut it into a tomboy style? Every day, you hang around with these big, burly men."

Zhao Qian pulled Lin Wei away immediately, not even acknowledging Chu Wen.

Chu Wen did not think much of it. He only heard Zhao Qian softly mutter as she reached the door, "Is he your boyfriend? He looks all right."

"No, he's just an ordinary friend. A teammate."

The long-unvisited milk tea shop.

Lin Wei had changed into clean casual clothes, and Zhao Qian nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it."

"Tell me, it would be one thing if you wanted to take the path of a strong career woman, but how did you go from a strong woman to a female martial artist?"

"Sigh, only because you're the Lin Family's daughter is there someone to catch you if you fall. Look at the calluses on your hands—even your family's nanny doesn't have calluses this thick."

Zhao Qian looked at Lin Wei with heartache as she noisily slurped her milk tea, her face full of worry.

"Stop practicing martial arts. Wouldn't it be better to find something you enjoy doing? If I had your family fortune, I wouldn't study at all. I'd just lie around counting money every day."

"Qianqian, you came all this way just for this...?"

"Of course not. I came to see which wild man whisked you away, making you skip Kyoto and come all the way to the New Hang border instead."

"By the way, what's that guy's name? He really does look pretty good. Does your brother know?"

Lin Wei stamped her foot in anger. "Why do you always bring up the one thing I don't want to talk about? He's just an ordinary teammate."

"Oh, ordinary. Then why do I remember that you wouldn't even spare a glance for the men in Kyoto who pursued you? What, is that Chu Wen not a man?"

Zhao Qian dragged the conversation back on track. "Can't you stop practicing? That photo of your broken hand last time kept me awake all night."

"You're my only rich best friend. I still want to ride your coattails someday. If you become a martial artist... what if..."

Lin Wei lowered her eyes, pinching Zhao Qian's thumb and playing with her manicure. "This is what I pursue. If I didn't have the talent, I would accept it. But I do. I'm even better than my brother and my uncles. I can't waste it."

"Can you stay for a couple more days before leaving? The points tournament qualifiers are about to begin. I want you to see what I'm like on the battlefield."

Zhao Qian's eyes reddened, but in the next instant, she put on a smile and coquettishly acted like a rascal. "Then I'm staying at your place for the next few days. I want to stay in a villa! I want to become a rich woman too! And while we're at it, are there any handsome guys at the martial arts university worth going after? Help me throw money at one!"

Lin Wei covered her mouth and laughed. "All right. Then stay these next few days and watch the competition before you go."
