In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Li Yuan was also aware that when others judged whether someone was young, they would often consider their past events and achievements.

Someone passed away in their early forties, and everyone said he was young and it was such a pity.

If someone is only at the first rank of martial arts at the age of forty.

Others would say that he is so old that he has long missed the best age for martial arts training.

Li Yuan simply missed the prime age for spiritual cultivation.

Previously, at the age of thirty, he was still stuck at the fourth rank. From the school leaders to other teachers around him, everyone thought that Li Yuan had no talent for cultivation.

The ancients were right: one should become famous as early as possible.

Looking at Xia Zhao in front of him, Li Yuan did not have much doubt about what she said.

I witnessed her fighting the mutated ferocious beast with my own eyes.

Despite being weakened, it was still able to withstand the attacks of ferocious beasts.

It should be noted that this mutated ferocious beast once caused the death of a ninth-rank martial artist.

Li Yuan tried to launch a sneak attack, which gave him a better understanding of this beast's abilities.

She must truly possess the skill of an eighth-rank martial artist.

At thirty years old, to possess such strength, her identity must be extraordinary.

Li Yuan didn't ask any more questions. Although they were trapped together by accident, the two of them probably wouldn't have much contact in the future.

After thinking everything through, Li Yuan took out three bottles of nutrient solution from his backpack.

These are the only three bottles of Grade B nutrient solution left.

If it weren't for participating in this Qingwu competition, I wouldn't even be able to afford three bottles with the little money I manage to save up each month.

For Li Yuan, the three bottles of Grade B nutrient solution were very precious.

As I handed over the three bottles of nutrient solution, I couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

I can only pretend to be generous as much as possible.

Li Yuan even mocked himself inwardly, thinking that a poor person pretending to be magnanimous only makes himself uncomfortable.

Xia Zhao accepted the three bottles of nutrient solution without hesitation.

At this stage, she really has a significant need for nutrient solution.

Grade B nutrient solution was something completely ordinary to her.

But now, it's a lifesaver.

After accepting these gifts, there was another long silence.

The mud that had covered the two of them had dried and fallen off.

Only now did Li Yuan get a clear look at her.

In this day and age, it's really hard to tell someone's age just by their appearance.

On the contrary, one's temperament is more likely to reveal their age.

Although she was still a little dirty, it was already clear that she was very beautiful.

Her figure and demeanor also exude an air of nobility.

If she were a teacher at Lingshan No.1 Middle School, she would be featured on the cover of the school's promotional videos and brochures.

Li Yuan quickly averted his gaze; staring at others was inappropriate.

Xia Zhao was also observing Li Yuan when she took a closer look at his appearance.

Speaking of appearance, Li Yuan is actually quite good-looking.

As a middle school teacher, Li Yuanhui would dress and style himself to look older.

I try my best to make sure my appearance isn't appreciated by the students.

Teachers should all understand this unspoken rule.

"May I ask why you came to Qijia Town?"

"Training, self-cultivation, and improving my combat skills," Li Yuan answered decisively.

This is simply the truth; there's nothing to hide.

Hearing this, Xia Zhao became even more skeptical.

"His mastery of martial arts is so skillful, and his Cloud Step is even more proficient."

With such skills, why would you need to come to Qijia Town to improve your combat abilities?

In Xia Zhao's eyes, someone with that kind of strength would be wasting their time coming to Qijia Town.

Especially when facing mutated vicious dogs, Li Yuan was able to calmly launch a sneak attack and rescue her.

With this kind of strength, isn't coming to Qijia Town a waste of time?

"Am I really that amazing...?"

Li Yuan was quite pleased to hear such a high-level expert's evaluation of him.

Xia Zhao, standing to the side, felt like she had encountered a fool.

In the time that followed, Xia Zhao began to devote himself entirely to cultivation and recovery.

An eighth-rank martial artist's physique already possesses considerable resistance to poison.

Most poisons cannot harm their physical foundation.

However, recovery will still take time.

She focused on her cultivation and recovery, while Li Yuan observed the external environment from his observation point.

Seeing something strange along the way, Li Yuan even went out of the observation station to conduct a detailed inspection.

The experience and knowledge learned from books are truly put into practice here.

Trapped at this observation station, we are not truly safe yet.

This is considered a relatively deep part of the dense forest.

Aside from the mutated ferocious beasts, these wild environments are already inhabited by ferocious beasts.

The dangers of dense forests in the wild are unknown.

Who knows what level of ferocious beast we'll encounter next?

Furthermore, the crisis we face this time is not just about ferocious beasts.

Behind this mutated ferocious beast, one can fully sense the methods employed by humans.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Yuan had already hidden his phone somewhere.

Could a phone with no signal become a tool for locating oneself?

Li Yuan didn't know much about this technology.

But at this moment it only serves as a flashlight; it's not even needed for telling time.

Its best use is to place it in a suitable location for fishing.

On their first day at the observation station, the two had a clear division of labor.

Li Yuan was in charge of guarding the surrounding area, while Xia Zhao focused on recovery.

Li Yuan gave her priority access to the things she brought in her schoolbag.

He kept only the most basic living supplies for himself.

As people who practice martial arts, Li Yuan was well aware of the need for supplies during the recovery period.

Li Yuan did not follow any "ladies first" rule; there was no such rule in the wild.

Xia Zhao's recovery was the key to their survival, and that was the most crucial reason.

On the first day, the two were still somewhat unfamiliar with each other.

When they see each other, they nod to each other in greeting.

As night fell, Xia Zhao told Li Yuan to go to sleep and rest, hoping the two could achieve a suitable cycle.

The first day passed peacefully.

The night passed, and Li Yuan ate half a compressed biscuit.

This is all the food we need for the day; we have to be a little frugal.

At daybreak, Li Yuan went to check on Xia Zhao's condition.

After a day of rest, she did not recover as she had expected.

On the contrary, he looked even weaker.

"This poison is rather troublesome..." Xia Zhao's tone was full of guilt.

Li Yuan had already created these conditions for her, yet she behaved in this way.

Seeing her condition, Li Yuan searched his mind for the experience he had gained from the book.

"I still have a clean set of clothes in my schoolbag."

Why don't you change into these? They'll be more comfortable and might be better for your recovery.

As Li Yuan spoke, he took clothes out of his schoolbag.

He placed the clothes in front of Xia Zhao without looking away.

Xia Zhao hesitated for a moment, then began to undress.

She knew Li Yuan wanted to see the injuries on her body.

At times like this, one's life is in danger.

With food still scarce every day, even the most discerning person has little appetite at this moment.

Xia Zhao believed he was fully aware of his own situation.

If she had serious injuries, she should have noticed them long ago.

After taking off his coat and trousers, Xia Zhao saw that Li Yuan still didn't turn his back or leave.

I'm still too embarrassed to take off my underwear.

And Li Yuan, standing behind her, seemed to be looking at her more and more intently.

With a determined effort, she simply changed into these clean clothes right in front of Li Yuan...
