Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Zhang Chaoqiang remembered what his teacher had once said.

After entering the junior high school of martial arts, and undergoing trials in the secret realm and training in numerous professional courses, there are quite a few geniuses who have grown from 100P spiritual power to 300P, or even 400P spiritual power in three years.

Zhang Chaoqiang still looks forward to the rest of his martial arts school life.

This also means that his journey toward the martial arts path, which he has never yet embarked on, has been put on the agenda.

As I approached my elementary school graduation, a lot happened in my family.

At my father Zhang Huolong's factory.

The factory manager inexplicably raised Zhang Huolong's salary and even planned to promote him to supervisor.

However, a suitable supervisor had already been hired, so to be clear, his position was merely nominal, just a sinecure.

After much thought, I finally realized the truth.

Zhang Huolong has resigned.

With the consent of Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Chaoqiang.

He also formally rejected the government job offered by the martial arts school.

After thinking about it for several nights, the parents decided to use the money they had saved over the years to open a small tattoo shop.

After all, Shen Qiangwei has risen from a junior apprentice to a slightly experienced junior tattoo artist over the years.

She often receives high praise from her clients, and her tattooing skills are considered to have been fully mastered.

After consulting with Zhang Chaoqiang, he expressed his support for his parents' idea.

Therefore, Shen Qiangwei was grateful to her boss and mentor, who refused to accept her salary for last month and this month, and stayed for the full month as a way of thanking her for the kindness he had shown her back then.

The location of the tattoo shop was not near his former employer, nor was it heavily advertised; it was simply located in Pingshui Street.

Coincidentally, after Dr. Mo was arrested, the storefront had not found a suitable tenant.

The location was pretty good, so Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong decided to rent it.

The secondhand equipment, including various tattoo chairs, was specially found for Shen Qiangwei by the owner of Sheming Tattoo Shop; it was good quality and inexpensive.

On the day of the official opening, the workers from the two production lines that Zhang Huolong used to lead came to the store to congratulate him.

Zhang Huolong pulled up the red cloth on the signboard, and the words "Weilong Tattoo Shop" were written in running script by Zhang Chaoqiang, which was bright and eye-catching.

The store's name is very nice.

This is the consensus among former coworkers.

These friends, whom he met at the factory, may have been a bit frivolous at times, but they genuinely regarded Zhang Huolong as an older brother or brother.

On the first day of opening, they all patronized Shen Qiangwei's business, and this was not just to show their support.

It's not because Shen Qiangwei's tattooing skills are bad, but because two of her coworkers had asked her to tattoo them before she quit her job. The results were very good, taking into account the location and condition of the skin.

In July, my long but still somewhat unforgettable elementary school life came to a complete end.

At the graduation ceremony, some students were confused about their future, while others were looking forward to their martial arts school life soon.

Only Zhang Chaoqiang's mind went completely blank.

Because of Zhang Chaoqiang's situation, after repeated discussions, the school decided to let the parent of this outstanding student speak on stage...

This happened again.

Before giving the speech, Shen Qiangwei had considered advertising her family's Weilong Tattoo Shop, but ultimately rejected the idea.

What Zhang Chaoqiang didn't expect was that the other parents and students present, when facing their parents speaking...

There were no particularly strange reactions; he appeared serious, and his clapping response afterward was extremely natural…

Summer vacation after graduation begins.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue were in frequent contact; they both had their own mobile phones.

While others were struggling to get into university, the two of them had already been admitted without taking the entrance exam.

She was admitted to university through a special program at a young age.

Since activating her power, Tan Yue has been constantly pestering Zhang Chaoqiang to demonstrate how to better control her own power.

This is related to control, and Zhang Chaoqiang shared his insights with the other party.

Over time, Zhang Chaoqiang set new goals for his development.

[Mentor]

Chapter 68 Guidance

[Mentor]: Challenging guidance yields results. Periodic reward: Internal organs, body, and spirit +0.2

An introduction that's confusing and unclear.

Zhang Chaoqiang could roughly understand the meaning, but how exactly was this stage defined?

Is teaching arithmetic to someone who doesn't know addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division a stage in the learning process?

He found some kindergarten children from the same neighborhood, and the children were very happy to hear that Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to teach them math.

They didn't even need shoes, they ran so fast their tails were practically taut.

Increasing physical stats helps to adapt to the current spiritual energy level more quickly and thoroughly, and allows for further growth.

Therefore, this growth goal must be achieved without delay.

The long two-month summer vacation was the perfect opportunity for me to take on the role of "teacher".

Through coercion and enticement, they finally managed to teach a fifth-grade elementary school student in the neighborhood how to solve trigonometric functions and linear equations in one variable.

Even the other party's parents came to express their gratitude, claiming that it was unbelievable that Zhang Chaoqiang had taught their child the concept of linear equations in one variable from junior high school.

His mother looked surprised: "Wow, Chaoqiang is that amazing? How many times did you teach him? Don't be so polite, parent..."

Fearing the other person might try to steal something from their pocket, they quickly and politely closed the door.

Zhang Huolong also patted Zhang Chaoqiang's head and said earnestly, "Chaoqiang, are you short of money lately? The money in your card belongs to you, you can take it out anytime..."

Zhang Chaoqiang nodded perfunctorily, not wanting to explain; he couldn't be happy right now.

Because I couldn't even trigger the [Mentor] skill when teaching elementary school students middle school knowledge, several days of effort were wasted.

After this incident, Zhang Chaoqiang decided never to place his hopes on others again, as it would likely be a waste of time.

By focusing the guidance on those close to you, even if you can't trigger a specific outcome, the other person can still benefit from the guidance, thus avoiding a waste of time.

While exercising, Zhang Chaoqiang first focused on his mother.

The most significant breakthrough was improving Shen Qiangwei's cooking skills. Her culinary skills, stagnant for years, would still fall short of her mentor's level if she were to improve them further.

During his occasional meetings with Tan Yue, he frantically absorbed culinary skills from Old Chen.

Sometimes it's not just about cooking, but also about dining etiquette, ingredient pairing, and the skills of selecting ingredients, etc.

"Mom, boiling the tomatoes a little will make them easier to peel."

So Shen Qiangwei boiled the tomatoes until they were mushy.

"... "

"First, fry the eggs, then set them aside. Next, add the diced tomatoes and stir-fry. Once they're almost done, add the eggs back in, and then add salt, soy sauce, ketchup, and other seasonings as needed..."

Zhang Chaoqiang demonstrated once, and when Shen Qiangwei came, his mother made a complete mess of the kitchen stove.

It was burnt black in color, tasted sour, and had a liquid consistency, much like... vomit.

In the end, Zhang Huolong ate the entire plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes all by himself.

Helpless, they set their sights on Zhang Huolong as their next target. But how should they approach him?

Zhang Chaoqiang stroked his chin. Writing is out of the question; you can't force him.

Oh, right, singing?

His sensitive ears had been adapted to the sense of smell of demonic beasts, but this did not affect the perfection of his pitch in the slightest.

This wasn't a sudden inspiration, because Zhang Huolong often strains his voice when reciting lyrics from popular music, creating a style reminiscent of shouting rap.

This doesn't mean that Zhang Huolong has always liked shouting and rapping. People's hobbies can change, except for fashion sense, of course.

Finally, Zhang Chaoqiang realized that he was tone-deaf and could not sing at all. Shouting was just a forced choice because there was no such thing as pitch in his life.

I just can't sing the highs and lows.

Zhang Chaoqiang specifically sought out an elementary school music teacher to reinforce the knowledge points before personally taking the stage.

"Dad, try using chest resonance, try the pitch rise and fall like me, ah/ah ah ah/"

Zhang Huolong: "Ah → Ah → Ah → Ah"

Amidst a vast army, they spoke of their lofty ambitions. In an instant, a buzzing sound arose, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, as the soldiers swept in in a mighty wave.

Zhang Huolong's voice became even more forceful, so much so that it resonated in Zhang Chaoqiang's chest.

He completely abandoned his parents.

What I'm good at, my parents know nothing about, so I can't improve; and what my parents are good at, I'm not good at either.

Let it be...

Zhang Chaoqiang's will was gradually worn down during the past two weeks of turmoil.

Therefore, he focused on exercise and the occasional mutual learning with Tan Yue.

Of course, in most cases, Tan Yue learns from Zhang Chaoqiang.

Before August, on a bright and sunny day, the two of them, under Old Chen's supervision, went to play in the riverside park.

Tan Yue still hasn't mastered the basics of the "Qi Technique".

Furthermore, when the two graduated, Director Song Yu gave them a "Meditation Method" that could elevate their spiritual level, but Tan Yue didn't seem to have grasped much of its essence.

Although Song Yu personally told him that this was a normal phenomenon, many people still couldn't get the hang of it even after one or two years, according to "Meditation Method"...

However, it is a training method that can be practiced throughout one's life.

Zhang Chaoqiang also sat in the small pavilion in the river, sometimes meditating by himself, and sometimes sharing his understanding and insights with Tan Yue.
