Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Sparring with the Campus Belle for 3 Days Straight!
Jiangshan Imperial View, Villa No. 168.
After unlocking with the fingerprint, Ye Qingzhou led Xu Yuebing into the house.
"Iâve been meaning to ask, are you the only one living here? What about your parents?"
"My dad went missing in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven; his life and death are currently unknown. As for my mom, she remarried, and she should be quite happy now, right? After all, getting remarried and entering a wealthy family isnât easy."
Ye Qingzhou talked about the original ownerâs situation without any emotional ripples in his heart, as he is himself, and the original owner is the original owner.
But in Xu Yuebingâs eyes, it was different. Upon learning about Ye Qingzhouâs tragic background, she suddenly felt that the annoying person before her was actually quite pitiable.
"Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to bring up your sad story."
Xu Yuebingâs eyes were full of apology, and she couldnât help but think: âNo wonder Ye Qingzhou has a strange personality and is so self-serving; turns out he has no support now. The usual arrogance and conceit must be to cover up the loneliness and solitude in his heart. Ah, since youâre so miserable, I wonât hold onto past grudges...â
Although usually having a cold demeanor, Xu Yuebingâs heart was still soft, and at this moment, when looking at Ye Qingzhou, there were more sympathy and tolerance in her gaze than before.
"Wait, whatâs with that look?"
"Nothing."
Xu Yuebing smiled gently; she had already decided to forgive Ye Qingzhouâs previous rudeness.
Unfortunately, Ye Qingzhou didnât appreciate it. He shook his head and sighed at Xu Yuebing: "Could it be that youâre pitying me? You, an ordinary mediocre talent, actually want to sympathize with me, a peerless talent of extraordinary grace and grandeur? Who gave you the courage? I advise you to calm down and work hard in practice, or else in a few years you wonât even qualify to look at my back."
"You annoying guy!"
The "grudge" Xu Yuebing had barely put down suddenly surged up again, accompanied by her rising anger in no time.
To hell with forgiveness!
The person in front of her absolutely wasnât annoying just because of lifeâs major upheavals; he was born a detestable person who could anger you to death without paying for it!
If I pity him anymore, Iâm a dog!
Seeing Xu Yuebing regain her former fighting spirit, Ye Qingzhou nodded satisfactorily: "Not bad, you need this kind of undefeated spirit if you want to go further in Martial Dao."
"Cut the crap and hurry up teaching me how to defeat Leon!"
Xu Yuebing urged angrily; her charming cheeks puffed with anger, though speaking rude words, she looked utterly adorable.
Ye Qingzhou maintained his consistent good practice of doing business for money, and soon tailored a set of tactical strategies against Leon for Xu Yuebing.
"In the âSix Military Techniques,â Leon is most adept at the Thunderous Technique."
"I know this. Jiujiang Lei Clan initially comprehended the Five Thunders Seal from the Divine Skill âFive Thunders True Methodâ of Three Pure Ones Mountain, then combined it with Three Pure Ones Mountainâs Inner Cultivation Secret Technique âFishing Toad Skill.â Leonâs mastery of the Thunder-Swallowing Secret Technique has reached an advanced level; his strength is probably not much weaker than Miao Yi from the Miao Blade Club."
Since losing to Leon last time, Xu Yuebing clearly gathered plenty of information and did her homework thoroughly.
Three Pure Ones Mountainâs âFive Thunders True Methodâ and âFishing Toad Skill,â Jiujiang Lei Clanâs Five Thunders Seal, all evidently evolved from the Thunderous Technique in the âSix Military Techniques.â
And the characteristic of Thunderous Technique is its extremely strong explosiveness!
Among the Six Military Techniques, Fire Technique and Thunderous Technique greatly emphasize explosive moves; however, Fire Techniqueâs burst manifests as muscular strength, while Thunderous Technique maximizes the activation of Inner Breath, making the moves become forceful and domineering, unstoppable.
So Leonâs most adept tactic is to suppress opponents with extreme explosiveness, defeating enemies with a swift and unstoppable stance.
Xu Yuebing and Lu Yifan lost so miserably because they couldnât withstand Leonâs explosive round and appeared helpless.
Actually, the gap between them is not so large that canât be compensated with skill.
In his previous life, Ye Qingzhou battled countless masters and eventually honed nearly perfect swordsmanship through practice, so Leon seemed full of flaws in his eyes.
"To defeat Leon, the best way is to use slow against fast, and attack the weak points."
"Use slow against fast, attack the weak points?"
Xu Yuebing looked bewildered, clearly not understanding Ye Qingzhouâs meaning: "I understand the concept of attacking the weak points, but why use slow against fast?"
"Because..."
Then, Ye Qingzhou began seriously explaining to Xu Yuebing why the strategy should be arranged like this.
After listening to Ye Qingzhouâs explanation, Xu Yuebingâs previously perplexed face quickly showed an expression of joy and surprise, nodding repeatedly as her eyes turned confident.
Three days later, a new round of seat battles started again.
Leon, who failed last time in boasting, returned this time with confidence in victory, vowing to avenge his humiliation, defeat Ye Qingzhou, ascend the chief seat of the Swordsmanship Club, and declare his kingâs return to the entire Linjiang First High School.
Meanwhile, Lu Yifan, who dropped to the third seat, and Zheng Zigang, who fell to fourth from the second seat, also excitedly prepared as they had healed their injuries and were confident after rebuilding.
The other members of the Swordsmanship Club looked forward to this seat battle eagerly. Will Leon successfully avenge, or will Lu Yifan and Zheng Zigang return to the peak?
Itâs been so long since such intense battles!
"Why hasnât Beauty Xu arrived yet?"
"Ye Qingzhou isnât here either."
"Wow, Iâve heard theyâve been going home together these days and itâs to Ye Qingzhouâs place. Could it be..."
"No way, my goddess canât be so casual!"
"Beauty Xu is pure and clean; surely sheâs been deceived by Ye Qingzhouâs glib talk, how hateful!"
Just as people were murmuring, Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing arrived together. In these days, to increase Xu Yuebingâs chance of winning, Ye Qingzhou, for moneyâs sake, violated his principles and worked overtime, providing her with three nights of crash training.
Now, itâs time to test the results.
Xu Yuebing was full of confidence; she couldnât wait to showcase the learning achievements of Ye Qingzhouâs crash training.
Even more impatient than she was Leon.
"Ye Qingzhou, you finally came."
Leonâs eyes emitted fierce battle intent, like two blazing flames: "Today, let your defeat announce the coronation of the new king."
With the voice falling, Leon leapt up, standing proudly in the Martial Arts Arena with his sword, beckoning to Ye Qingzhou: "Come fight!"
This time, he swore not to hold back, not to be arrogant, but to challenge with full strength, letting everyone know that he, Leon, is the first, the strongest.
Ye Qingzhou yawned lazily and said nonchalantly: "No rush; if you want to fight me, win against her first."
Then Ye Qingzhouâs gaze fell on Xu Yuebing: "Itâs your turn to shine, win beautifully."
Xu Yuebing responded with a look of disdain at Ye Qingzhou, without saying a word, she stepped forward with her sword, walking elegantly into the Martial Arts Arena.
