Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Although she said that, Chun-Li was visibly much more relaxed. After all, being able to joke like that basically meant that nothing serious had happened, and it was likely to be a good outcome.

Otherwise, given Yuan Chen's personality, he should be mostly solemn or silent now, instead of looking relaxed and carefree like this.

Thinking about it, Chun-Li asked curiously, "How is Zhu-Li now?"

"Very good."

Yuan Chen shrugged and then stepped aside.

Han Zhuli, sitting on the bed with a mirror in her hand, was looking with great interest at her eyes, which had recovered and even improved further.

"How are you feeling?" Chun-Li looked at Han Zhu-Li with some curiosity: "Are your eyes any better?"

"Haha! Much better!" Upon hearing Chun-Li's question, Han Zhu-Li jumped directly from the bed to the floor. Although her delicate face was still pale and covered with cold sweat from the intense pain, her eyes were full of excitement, and her whole body was radiating a strange excitement.

"Instead of this! Auntie! Come and fight me!"

Hearing Han Zhuli address her as "Auntie," Chunli's lips twitched violently. She then said with a forced smile, "It's true that it's been a while since we've had a proper sparring session!"

Although she said that, Chun-Li's eyes also showed a hint of curiosity.

After all, although Han Zhuli gives the impression of being a little devil in daily life, always trying to provoke people, especially herself, a closer look reveals that she is actually a very thoughtful person.

He may have a slightly unpleasant personality at times, but he is definitely not an unreasonable person.

Thinking to herself, Chunli walked towards the cushions in the living room and asked curiously, "Looks like you've made quite a bit of progress?"

"That's right."

Han Zhuli nodded, feeling the heat welling up in her eyes, and said, "I feel... terrifyingly strong right now!"

Volume 1: Chapter 151 - Mai Shiranui Arrives at the Door

Chun-Li and Han Zhu-Li stood facing each other on the soft cushion in the center of the living room.

Chunli took off her coat, revealing a close-fitting black sweater. A series of crisp sounds rang out as she put it on.

Han Zhuli stood opposite her, looking relaxed, with that signature, devilishly provocative smile still on her lips.

"Let's get this straight first." Chun-Li got into a fighting stance, a hint of helplessness on her face, and said, "If you break any furniture, I'll deduct it from your allowance."

Despite Han Zhuli's current lively and energetic demeanor, Chunli actually manages all of Han Zhuli's weekly allowance and daily expenses, making her a true stepmother.

However, Han Zhuli's little devil nature was purely due to her personality. Even after hearing Chun Li's words, she said with great interest and malice, "Ha, it's not certain who will win or lose!"

As she said this, Han Zhuli patted her chest, revealing her little tiger teeth, and said to Yuan Chen with a 'brother' expression, "Look at how your sister Zhuli has been beaten down by Auntie. Once she's completely powerless to resist, you can just eat her clean!"

"Zhu Li!" Chun Li's face twitched, and she said with a forced smile, "I really need to teach you a lesson!"

In response, Yuan Chen silently gave a thumbs up.

Zhu Li is a shrewd person. If you ask her who won when she fights with Chun Li, she'll tell you that Yuan Chen got a share.

That's a good thing.

Anyway, Yuan Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Upon hearing Han Zhuli's words, Chunli also took a deep breath, a slight seriousness appearing between her brows.

Although she's the 'head of the household' here, Chun-Li has watched Han Zhu-li join the family and can somewhat sense Han Zhu-li's rapid progress under Yuan-chen's tutelage. In comparison…

Shaking her head, Chun-Li cleared her mind of all distractions and focused on the battle before her.

As Yuan Chen shouted "Start!", Han Zhuli launched her attack without hesitation.

Seeing this, Chun-Li turned slightly to the side, just enough to let Han Zhu-Li's instep brush past her waist. At the same time, she lightly patted the inside of Han Zhu-Li's calf with her left palm, trying to deflect the kick's trajectory. But Han Zhu-Li clearly noticed this, and with a burst of energy, she forcefully withstood Han Zhu-Li's kick, bracing herself against the force of the blow aimed at Chun-Li's abdomen.

The speed is faster than before, and the strength has also increased significantly.

Thinking to herself, Chunli wasn't too surprised. After all, there were only a few people living in the house, and Han Zhuli had come to spar with Chunli before, but she had always lost more than she had won... or rather, she had basically never won.

Han Zhuli didn't care. She simply moved her numb calves a few times to regain her balance and then pressed forward again.

The left fist and right leg strikes flow out like a torrent, extremely fast and with tricky angles. At first glance, apart from the skillful use of the legs, it is hard to see any trace of Taekwondo.

This can be considered an additional impact of social progress—just like boxing and wrestling, once you step onto the outside stage, in order to allow more people to appreciate this 'crossing the line' violence, many techniques will be reduced to some extent.

Techniques such as hooking the heel, twisting the wrist and locking the arm, gouging the eye and kicking the groin may sound vulgar, but they are essentially all attacks aimed at vital parts of the human body.

However, in order to better disseminate and teach these techniques and to limit violence and casualties, similar technologies have been gradually banned.

Han Zhuli's practical karate training obviously didn't have so many concerns, but she rarely used it in most cases.

After all, there are only so many vital points in the human body. Anyone with real skills will know some countermeasures, such as hanging bell and shrinking the yang into the abdomen.

Given that her opponent is Chun-Li, a member of her own family, Han Zhu-li prefers to transform her attacks aimed at vital points into more powerful energy.

As her opponent, Chun-Li could feel that Han Zhu-li's progress was genuine.

Even so, the gap in basic skills cannot be completely bridged by consuming more life energy or having Yuan Chen adjust it a few more times. Especially this time, for the sake of treatment, Han Zhuli's life energy has been almost completely exhausted, and she can no longer activate the reserve hidden energy stored in her stomach or lower abdomen as before.

As Chunli steadily parried each attack, Yuan Chen nodded secretly in approval.

Chun-Li's martial arts talent is undeniable. Even though she can't drink or inject life energy directly like Han Joo-ri, the energy extracted from her daily life-giving food is enough for Chun-Li to perceive the details of her body and continuously improve her skills.

Although there are shortcuts involved, it is still a long and painstaking process.

It can only be said that Chun-Li is indeed very suitable for Qigong, a method that cultivates both internal and external aspects.

Just like now, Zhu Li's speed and strength have both improved considerably, but she still can't break through Chun Li's defense, the reason being her solid basic skills.

In front of Chun-Li, Han Zhu-Li could detect every moment Han Zhu-Li shifted her center of gravity in advance, and every change in the flow of her energy was within her expectations.

Sometimes they even had the energy to deliberately leave openings, waiting for Han Zhuli to launch a full-scale attack, and then intercepting and neutralizing it in the least effortful way.

A series of defensive counterattacks, using the opponent's force against them, and using stillness to control movement—from Han Zhuli's perspective, this was simply despair-inducing.

However, neither Wu Jialouluo, Han Zhuli, nor even Wu Fengshui were particularly surprised by this.

Yes, even Wu Fengshui wasn't too surprised by the current situation.

To put it bluntly, in this small family, Chun-Li's strength is definitely second only to Yuan Chen. Not to mention Han Zhu-Li alone, even if Wu Jia-Luo is added, without using Liberation or activating the backup hidden energy borrowed from Yuan Chen, they still cannot do anything to Chun-Li.

Han Zhuli naturally noticed this as well. After being casually pushed away by Chunli once again, she pouted in annoyance.

"Your basic skills are really solid. If I hadn't been with you all this time, I would have suspected that you were having an affair with Yuan Chen."

Chunli's temple throbbed, but she then sighed and said, "You guys... never mind. Young people should be restrained. Besides, although life energy is strong, it is Yuan Chen's stuff after all. If you really encounter danger, you can't just borrow it anytime, anywhere."

"Besides, we can just keep some on hand." Although she said that, Han Zhuli knew Chunli was right, so she took a deep breath and looked at Chunli, saying:

"Ready? I'm about to go all out... This eye has just evolved, so be prepared if you can't control your strength."

Hearing that even the usually eccentric Han Zhuli said this, Chunli also became serious, nodded, and got into position, saying, "Okay, let's go."

"Alright, here we come!"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhuli let out a cheerful laugh. Then, her left eye suddenly ignited, and the purple light that had been flickering only deep within her iris suddenly burst forth, transforming into a scorching purple wave that shot out from her eye socket.

Along with the burst of fighting spirit, his originally grayish-white fighting spirit was tinged with a cold, dark purple by the purple flames surging from his left eye. His muscles swelled slightly under the catalysis of the purple flames, and the blood energy throughout his body solidified several times over, making him look exceptionally terrifying.

Noticing the change in Han Zhuli, Chunli's gaze also sharpened.

But then, accompanied by an incredibly fast gust of wind, Han Zhuli's right leg slashed out with a purple arc of light—the Wind-Breaking Blade!

The speed was so fast that Chun-Li, caught off guard, could only rely on her intuition to block it.

Chun-Li raised her hand to block. It was clearly a long-range attack that released energy, but the moment it made contact, Chun-Li felt a tingling sensation in her forearm. Then, Chun-Li was kicked sideways, her feet leaving two deep drag marks on the soft mat.

Before she could even regain her balance, Han Zhuli completed her finishing move with astonishing speed, dashing forward to Chun Li and then sweeping around.

Chun-Li leaned back, her left leg, wreathed in deep purple power, brushing past her face. Before she could react, she saw Han Zhu-Li swing her legs in a wide arc, twisting her body like a windmill with a powerful kick. Her body spun in the air, her legs transforming into a purple halo, carrying a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air as she kicked towards Chun-Li's center.

Caught off guard, Chun-Li was still hit squarely despite her timely defense. She was kicked backward, but fortunately, Yuan-Chen caught her in mid-air and gently pressed her body to make sure she was unharmed before putting her down.

When Han Zhuli raised her head, she was about to shout "Continue!" but she quickly realized something, her face turned pale, and she squatted down and gasped for breath.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen said, "Alright, let's end this sparring session here."

Upon hearing this, Chunli, who had already adapted to Han Zhuli's rapidly increasing pace and was just adjusting her state to prepare for another battle, heard Yuan Chen stop her. She looked dissatisfied, but seeing the paleness on Han Zhuli's face, she immediately ran over worriedly and said:

"What happened? Are you injured? How are you feeling?"

"I... am fine."

Hearing Chun-Li's concern, Han Zhu-Li didn't try to be brave. She just pressed her stomach and said, "It's just... my energy was used up quite a bit, and I feel weak all over."

Seeing this, Yuan Chen also stepped forward, relaxed after a brief assessment, and looked at Chunli and the others beside him, saying, "Your Qi is depleted. Eating something will make you feel better."

Upon hearing this, Chunli breathed a sigh of relief.

It is quite common for a person to experience a loss of Qi, excessive consumption of fighting Qi, or damage to their meridians caused by excessive fighting Qi bursts in a short period of time, making them unable to fight.

But then, a look of confusion appeared on Chun-Li's face.

"But wait a minute, although Spider-Like's energy consumption did become extremely high after going all out, it shouldn't be that she's exhausted so quickly, right?"

“Eyes,” Yuan Chen said.

“Zhu Li’s eyes are rather special. During the treatment, I also took into account some other special eyes. Although the initial goal was to allow the body’s redundant systems to function when the original optic nerve could not be restored, it seems that along with the complete recovery, some unexpected changes... or rather, evolutions have occurred during this process?”

As he said this, Yuan Chen continued, "Life energy, liberation, fist eye, the intention of the spider itself... and some special factors that cannot be measured by common sense."

According to Yuan Chen's speculation, the main reason should still be the Sun Symbol.

Previously, Yuan Chen regarded this power from Ingrid as a solar power bank, capable of converting and storing the energy in sunlight to continuously heal the body, and even converting it into life energy.

As Yuan Chen's strength grew, especially after he mastered energy transformation, the true power of the Sun Rune seemed to finally reveal a corner of its mystery.

At least, putting everything else aside, there's one thing Yuan Chen is certain of.

Under the influence of the sun talisman, life energy, will, and anything else followed Yuan Chen's will and merged into Han Zhuli's eyes, becoming a gift from heaven, similar to a 'special constitution'.

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Han Zhuli nodded in agreement.

With a wide grin, Han Zhuli clutched her stomach, looking clearly uncomfortable, and said:

"The energy consumption is too intense, at least ten or even dozens of times that of normal. I feel like my Qi Sea has been completely drained, and I have no strength left in my body... I only used a few moves and all my Qi was used up. Why does this eye's full power mode feel like it's all side effects?"

"After all, it has only just evolved."

Upon hearing Han Zhuli's words, Yuan Chen shook his head and said, "The Wu clan's liberation took more than a thousand years to gradually master. From now on, we should set aside time every day to practice. Once the consumption is under control, it will become a pretty good killing move."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jialouluo nodded in agreement and raised his hand, saying, "If there's anything I can help with, I can find some of the clan's ancient texts!"

As he said this, Wu Jialouluo's eyes were also filled with curiosity.

"Oh, thank you!" Han Zhuli waved her hand and said, "I'll let you have the first taste next time."

"Hehe." Wu Jialouluo chuckled.

Although Han Zhuli didn't explicitly name what kind of "first soup" Yuan Chen was eating, Chunli had already seen Yuan Chen's private life, and she couldn't help but look away, her face full of embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Han Zhuli, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense something and a smile appeared on her face as she said:

"I almost forgot, Yuan Chen, when did you get one for Auntie too?"

With a wicked grin, Han Zhuli said excitedly, "Don't drag it out. You and Chunli have been living together for so long, you've probably done everything you need to, just waiting for the final push. If all else fails, I'll smear her and help you get her..."

"That's enough!" Chun-Li couldn't hold back any longer and got up, saying, "I'm going to wash up. You should also go eat something to recover your energy!"

After saying that, Chunli hurriedly turned and left, while Yuan Chen, Han Zhuli and the others exchanged glances. Just as they were about to say something, a clanging sound of chains suddenly came from the window next to them.

This moment caused a stir among the crowd, and B, along with Chun-Li, also stopped in their tracks.

Following closely behind, in the area of ​​the lake, Bai Yinghuang, dressed in a motorcycle outfit, leaped in and excitedly shouted:

"Ah Chen! I came to play with you... Huh? So many people?"

Volume 1: Chapter 152 - Meals and Iori Yagami

Mai Shiranui, staring blankly at the bloody car clothes in front of her, was completely dumbfounded.

Although she already knew that Yuan Chen might not be the only person in his family, Mai Shiranui obviously did not expect that there would be so many... women in Yuan Chen's family.

Thinking about it, Mai Shiranui also said with a look of astonishment, "Junior brother, junior brother, is your private life so messy?!"

Yuan Chen rubbed his temples in exasperation and couldn't help but ask, "How did you find this place...?"

"Hehe, investigating the whereabouts of a target can be considered a required course for ninjas!"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Mai Shiranui wore a proud smile, clearly unaware that the compulsory course she mentioned should be called malicious stalking and trespassing in the context of modern society.
