rrible screech at the grub in the iron cage.The behemoth, resembling a giant centipede, lunged at the couple.Whoosh!At this very moment, a peculiar force suddenly appeared on stage, like a gust of win...After school, the students in class were still studying intently.

Many people brought their lunch boxes to the classroom, so they could save time going to the dining hall and use it to review.

Fang Yu also stayed for a while and finished reading the last chapter.

After finishing, he stretched and prepared to go to the dining hall for a meal.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the back door of the classroom.

Xia Tinghe stood by the back door, peering inside.

"Looking for me" Fang Yu suddenly appeared before her, startling her.

"Yes, yes." Xia Tinghe replied.

"What's up" Fang Yu asked.

"Do you have time...to have a meal with me" Xia Tinghe asked, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Seeing her expression, Fang Yu frowned and asked, "Are you treating me to a meal"

"Well!" Xia Tinghe nodded heavily.

Fang Yu didn't speak, seeming to be considering.

At this time, many boys in the back row noticed this scene and were filled with jealousy.

This Fang Yu, is truly detestable!

They are studying hard, preparing for the college entrance examination. However, Fang Yu can skip class at will and is now even dating girls!

Even if you're trying to pick up girls, it's still the school flower Xia Tinghe who catches your eye!

"Alright," Fang Yu agreed to Xia Tinghe's invitation after a moment of hesitation.

Afterwards, amidst a flurry of envious and hateful stares, Fang Yu and Xia Tinghe left together.

Among these gazes, one belonged to Tang Xiaorou.

Tang Xiaorou bit her lip, gripping the pen tightly in her right hand. She was feeling very uncomfortable.

……

Fang Yu and Xia Tinghe didn't go to the cafeteria, but came to a tea restaurant outside the school.

At the dinner table, Fang Yu was eating with gusto.

Xia Tinghe ordered a glass of iced water and sipped it slowly.

A few minutes later, Fang Yu picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, then asked, "So, what's the matter"

Xia Tinghe knew that her little thoughts had been seen through, her face flushed slightly, and she softly said: "You...can you teach me martial arts"

Cultivate martial arts

Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Martial arts Why did you suddenly want to practice martial arts I suggest you continue on the path of art. Your guzheng playing last time was quite good."

Xia Tinghe bit her lip and said, "I'm more interested in martial arts...Guzheng is just a small hobby of mine."

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looked at Xia Tinghe for two or three seconds, and then said, “I’ll just be straight with you, you have no talent and are not suitable for cultivating martial arts. Besides, I don't take disciples.”

Xia Tinghe's face changed slightly.

As a girl, her martial arts talent was actually quite good. At seventeen years old, she had already reached the seventh level of the congenital realm, which wasn't low for someone her age.

But Fang Yu directly said that she had no talent, which hurt her self-esteem.

"I, I don't need you to take me as your disciple. Just... just give me some guidance... will you" Xia Tinghe pleaded.

“Your grandpa is a major general in the military district. If you want to find someone for guidance, there’s no one he can’t get for you.” Fang Yu leaned back in his chair and said.

Xia Tinghe did not speak.

In fact, it was Xia Heguang who asked her to find Fang Yu.

"They aren't as strong as you." Xia Tinghe mumbled.

"Why would you think that way, and be interested in martial arts" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"Because… I don't want to live under my family's protection forever." Xia Tinghe raised her head and said.

This is her true feelings.

Her grandfather was a major general in the military region, her parents held high positions in government agencies, and her older sister was the head of the Huaxia intelligence group.

With these family members present, the Xia family is like a towering tree, its massive canopy providing enough shade to shelter every member of the family.

But Xia Tinghe was not content with simply being protected.

She wants to be part of a towering tree, she wants to become strong!

Summer Tinghe's gaze gradually grew firm.

"Since you treated me to a meal, I can give you some guidance," Fang Yu said.

"Really" Xia Tinghe's face lit up.

"I was training with the Storm Dragon Corps' physical combat techniques before, aren't they still at your grandpa's place"

"Go back and get those drawings. Practice the movements on them, train for two hours every day, and stick with it for a month. You'll see results quickly." Fang Yu said.

"That martial art" Xia Tinghe's face changed.

When the Swift Dragon unit was undergoing special training, she had once gone to the training ground to observe.

She knew that the kind of martial art Fang Yu had spoken about was the one that made even the most elite team members cry out in pain and lament.

"Of course, I still suggest you pursue the path of art. You don't necessarily have to cultivate martial arts to prove yourself." Fang Yu stood up and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.

Xia Tinghe looked at Fang Yu's departing back, her eyes complex.

……

In the afternoon, Fang Yu didn't return to the classroom but went straight home to her apartment in Lijiang Community.

He plans to stop going to class before the college entrance exam.

This period is the final review time, Fangyu, a person who doesn't need to review, indeed doesn't need to go to the classroom to interfere with other people's learning enthusiasm.

This month, I'm taking the opportunity to continue studying the spirit-suppressing array at home.

As for the Yiling Formation, Fang Yu had basically figured out the principle. The only problem remaining was how to use his physical body as a carrier to quickly refine and absorb the incoming true energy.

The question is clear and concise, but it is very difficult to solve.

Because the capacity of meridians is finite.

Even Fang Yu, whose meridians had been tempered over a hundred times, was unable to absorb the incoming true qi and make it his own in a short period of time.

Fang Yu sat at his desk, calculating for an entire afternoon, but had no clue.

Fang Yu got up and lay back on the bed, wanting to rest for a while.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he inexplicably recalled the masked man he had encountered at Huamanlou the previous night.

This masked person has the ability to control air currents.

He used this ability to redirect the qi that had been used to blast Fang Yu away back towards him.

At this moment, Fang Yu's mind lit up.

"Yeah... Why refine the absorbed Qi Wouldn't it be easier to just control and use it directly" Fang Yu sat up from the bed and went back to his desk, quickly calculating.

Half an hour later, Fang Yu left Li Jiang Community and came to the Jiang Hai Martial Arts Association clubhouse.

The Jianghai City Martial Arts Association Hall is a five-story building.

And at this moment, Fang Yu stood atop this building.

"Now there are many martial artists, you can begin testing."

Fang Yu began to silently recite the incantation, hands raised.

Soon, waves of true energy flew out from the building and surged towards Fang Yu.

These qis all flew to the center of Fang Yu's raised hands, condensing together.

In just thirty seconds, Fang Yu's hands above gathered a ball-sized qi ball.

This clump of true energy came from dozens of martial artists, and the power it contained was extremely powerful.

At this moment, the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association Hall was filled with gasps of astonishment.

"What's happening! I feel like my inner qi is suddenly draining away!"

"Me too..."

"I felt a huge force, instantly draining my strength..."

The guildhall was in chaos.

Many warriors' qi was absorbed completely, leaving them lying on the ground, their faces pale.

Moreover, this situation was persistent, with warriors continuously letting out cries of astonishment before collapsing.

As time passed, the ball of true qi in Fang Yu's hand grew larger and larger.

To prevent losing control, Fang Yu stopped absorbing the true qi.

Looking at the massive ball of qi in his hands, Fang Yu's eyes lit up.

Then, with both hands pushing forward, he blasted the qi ball into the sky.

"Boom!"

A qi ball exploded in the sky with a deafening boom, like thunder.

"It worked."

A smile appeared on Fang Yu's face.

According to the principle of the spirit-suppressing formation, he successfully researched a more powerful spell.

Now, he only needs to transform the content about true qi in this spell into spiritual energy.

With that in mind, Fang Yu leaped forward and left the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association.

At this moment, the Martial Arts Association hall was in utter chaos.

……

For a fortnight, Fang Yu stayed at home, hardly venturing outside.

Facing Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue's questions, he came up with an excuse, saying that he was more efficient studying at home.

To apply the principles of the Yuling Formation to spiritual energy is by no means a simple matter.

Half a month passed, and Fang Yu's research hadn't made much progress.

However, he had fallen into that same state of feverish research from back then, with an incredibly high level of focus. sent Fang Yu to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and said with a fist salute: 。Fang Yu nodded and left the city lord's mansion. 。Xu Jiarou watched Fang Yu's leaving figure, then turned and walked...
