Xu Fenghua's Shock, Part Two
"..."
Cao Fengqi felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Xu Fenghua's threat.
He looked at her with great disdain.
"Continue."
Xu Fenghua glared at him and said coldly.
"..."
Cao Fengqi looked at her speechlessly. "Is this how you ask for a favor?"
"And... it might not be possible today."
As he spoke, he sensed a message coming from his communicator, took it out, glanced at it, and continued speaking to her.
Why not?
Xu Fenghua stared at him with a stern face. "Don't try to fool me, don't give me excuses."
She was confident that his unconventional teaching methods would allow her to significantly improve her swordsmanship in a very short time.
"It's really something. My uncle called me to the Transcendent Arsenal. He has a very important research and development project for me to look at."
Cao Fengqi helplessly to her.
"A key research project at the arsenal? You?"
Xu Fenghua looked at him in disbelief.
She was aware of a research project at the Transcendent Arsenal that was also related to their Law Enforcement Bureau.
If it can be accomplished, it could save many people.
This project has been going on for a while, but because the situation has become increasingly serious recently, an emergency task has been assigned to the Transcendent Arsenal.
She couldn't believe that this brat could participate in a research project of this caliber.
"Sister Fenghua, don't look down on me. If you don't believe me, you can go to the research institute at the arsenal and ask around."
Cao Fengqi looked at her helplessly and explained, "I'm really busy. Life's been tough, and I can only make a living by performing."
"..."
Xu Fenghua was speechless at the kid's words. He took out a communicator and said, "Come on, I'll go with you. Also... what's your name?"
"Cao Fengqi, Cao as in Cao Cao, and Fengqi as in the 'Great Roc Fengqi with the Fengqi in a Single Day'."
Cao Fengqi answered and walked straight outside.
"Um..."
Xu Fenghua searched on the communicator, and when he saw the information, his gaze sharpened. "You're from the Spark Guild? An Honorary Captain?"
She was very familiar with the official systems of Tianbei Base City.
The rank of captain didn't mean much to her, but the addition of honors was a significant achievement.
Although there are many forces in Tianbei Base City.
However, given their official strength, there is no need to grant a military rank to someone outside the official ranks.
Previously, she had never heard of anyone being awarded an honorary military rank by the government while serving under other factions.
This kid, however, was awarded...
This only proves one thing: he absolutely possesses one of the best talents in the Tianbei Base City when it comes to the profession of Artifact Refiner; otherwise, the authorities wouldn't have made an exception for him!
Xu Fenghua re-examined the figure in front of her, her eyes filled with intense curiosity.
His face was slightly immature, his blond hair gave him a roguish look, and he wore a faint, confident smile.
He possesses a swordsmanship skill of level 10 and was able to rescue himself from the Ruins Nightmare Domain of the Ruin Demon.
They possess powerful talents in the Artifact Refiner profession.
Every single one of them is incredible.
"How exactly did you manage to rescue me from the Ruins Nightmare Domain last time?"
Xu Fenghua looked at him and asked this question.
"I have a good sense of direction."
Cao Fengqi looked at her and replied.
"..."
"Bump!"
Xu Fenghua couldn't hold back and punched him on the shoulder.
"..."
"Are you crazy? Other girls just playfully punch their chests, are you trying to beat me to death?"
"How can you have a boyfriend if you're so violent?"
Cao Fengqi retreated three meters to the right before regaining his balance, glaring at her with a dark expression.
"Hehe, who told you to be so shameless? Whether I have a boyfriend or not is none of your business."
Looking at him, Xu Fenghua felt this method was very effective. She laughed with satisfaction and playfully punched him, "I'll talk to you nicely from now on. If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you up."
"..."
"Sister Fenghua, it's better for us girls to be gentle."
Cao Fengqi rubbed his shoulders, knowing he was no match for her, and said gently to her.
He paused for a moment, then looked at me curiously. "How did you get trapped in the Ruins Nightmare?"
"Hmph, being gentle depends on who you're being gentle with!"
"The reason I'm trapped in the Ruins Nightmare Domain is because that unknown Ruin Demon passed through Tianbei Base City and enveloped hundreds of thousands of people..."
"They've all disappeared..."
At this point, Xu Fenghua paused, then said gravely, "I personally led an elite team from the Law Enforcement Bureau to investigate, and the result..."
She spoke, then fell silent for a moment.
She was the only one who survived by sheer luck.
My condolences. It's all in the past now.
Cao Fengqi patted her on the back to comfort her.
"Can't you... can you have a little more distance?"
Xu Fenghua glared at him when she saw his actions.
"What kind of relationship do we have? Besides, I was just trying to comfort you."
"Get out of here, and keep your filthy hands away from me."
"..."
"You're so ungrateful! Don't worry, I'm gay, you can treat me like your best friend!"
"Heh, even if you castrated me, I still wouldn't believe it!"
"..."
Xu Fenghua was so angry at his statement that she was gay that she laughed and rolled her eyes at him.
How did you become so skilled at swordsmanship?
"It's all thanks to my hard work. I studied day and night, even digging a hole in the wall to let in light and hanging myself by the hair to stay awake..."
"Don't force me to take action. What is sword intent?"
"..."
"Simply put, it's about the resonance between one's own spiritual power and the sword's intent, using the heart as the guide and the spirit as the edge; using stillness as the foundation and movement as the spirit; the form follows the sword's intent, and the sword follows the intent of the heart, just like this..."
The two bickered as they walked, and Cao Fengqi, under duress, obediently took out the Fenghua Sword and demonstrated it to her.
"Don't know!"
Xu Fenghua frowned slightly as she watched the trajectory of his sword intent.
"It's normal that you don't understand. You've just reached the eighth level of swordsmanship. You'll understand when I have time to use the Beast Herding Heart to train you."
"My mummified mother---"
"You become a jerk after saying only three sentences, huh?"
Xu Fenghua's face flushed slightly, and she threw a punch at him.
"Hehe."
Cao Fengqi was prepared, and instantly used the Heavenly Shadow Lost Trace Movement Art and Star Shadow Oblique Shift to dodge her punch.
"Um?"
Xu Fenghua was slightly surprised to see that his punch had been dodged.
With her strength and extraordinary power, she was able to clearly sense the physical condition of the young man before her.
Although she held back the force of her punch, she didn't reduce the speed much; it shouldn't have been dodged.
"That guy's movement technique just now..."
Xu Fenghua stared at him, her expression shifting, and asked, "What level of movement technique do you have?"
"Sigh, only ninth dan, far inferior to swordsmanship."
Cao Fengqi answered leisurely.
Teach me!
Xu Fenghua was somewhat shocked and stared at him directly.
"Don't teach violent girls."
"You..."
"If you lay a hand on me again, I'll yell 'molestation'."
"???"
