From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou's throat was parched, and he struggled to open his eyes.

He didn't know how long he had slept.

A white ceiling, the smell of disinfectant, and the beeping of an electrocardiogram monitor nearby.

Ward.

He propped himself up on his arms and sat up, his gaze falling on his hands.

Clench your fingers, loosen them, then clench them again.

The power flowed through the bones, and something was flowing in the meridians, warm and abundant, completely different from the feeling of having all the meridians in the body broken before.

The information flooding into my mind was still churning, and a large amount of text and images gradually became clear.

The golden light that poured into the crown of the head when the jade pendant shattered was actually a complete inheritance.

One cultivation technique is called "The Creation Manual," and the other medical technique is called "The Shennong Chapter."

Lu Yunzhou muttered to himself, his voice hoarse: "The inheritance not only repaired my meridians, but also gave me power far beyond that of ordinary people."

He turned to look out the window; the night was thick, and the city lights shone brightly in the distance.

"Chu Tiankuo, Lin Yuxuan".

As he uttered those two names through gritted teeth, his eyes were filled with hatred.

But he didn't act impulsively.

The gaunt old man beside Chu Tiankuo shattered all of Chu Tiankuo's meridians with a single palm strike; such strength was beyond what he could handle at present.

Moreover, the Chu Group's influence is deeply entrenched and cannot be destroyed by force alone.

If you want revenge, you need patience.

Lu Yunzhou sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, circulating his inner energy according to the cultivation method in his mind.

The airflow travels along the meridians, one circle, two circles, and the speed increases.

But by the third lap, he frowned.

The technique is incomplete.

The "Creation Secrets" only has the first three levels; the fourth level and above are all missing.

Forcing a breakthrough will cause the internal energy to go berserk and backfire, causing the dantian to explode and resulting in immediate death.

The information left in the inheritance is clearly written: either collect all the cultivation techniques, or find someone with a special physique to cultivate with when breaking through to a higher realm, so that the other person's aura can neutralize the violent true energy in your body.

He took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

There's no rush.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

Ye Churan walked in carrying a thermal lunchbox, her long black hair hanging over her shoulders, wearing a simple white dress, and her face still showing signs of fatigue.

Seeing that he had already sat up, her eyes instantly turned red.

"Lu Yunzhou! You're awake!"

She walked over quickly, placed the lunchbox on the bedside table, and her voice was trembling with tears.

"Do you know how much blood you lost back then? I thought you were..."

"Teacher Ye, I'm alright now."

Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, Lu Yunzhou felt a surge of warmth in his heart. "Thank you for saving me and for staying by my side all this time."

"It's good that you're alright."

Ye Churan wiped her eyes, opened the lunchbox, and steam rose up, carrying the aroma of chicken soup. "I made some soup, drink some to nourish your body."

Lu Yunzhou took the bowl, took a sip, and felt much better as the scalding liquid slid into his stomach.

"Teacher Ye, what happened before... was my own stupidity."

He put down his bowl and briefly recounted how Lin Yuxuan had drugged him for three years and how Chu Tiankuo had come to humiliate him.

After hearing this, Ye Churan's eyes reddened again, but she didn't shed a tear.

She sat on the edge of the bed and said softly, "That's not your fault; she's rotten to the core."

"You're still young, the best is yet to come."

"Focus on getting your health back first, and take care of the rest later."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her face and suddenly realized something.

The surging heat within his body caused by cultivating the "Creation Technique" gradually subsided after Ye Churan approached.

The violent true energy became docile, as if it had been suppressed at its source by something.

His heart skipped a beat.

The special physique recorded in the inheritance can naturally suppress the violent true energy within a cultivator's body.

Ye Churan's reaction was exactly the same as described in the ancient books.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

Ye Churan felt uncomfortable under his gaze and turned her head to the side.

"It's nothing."

Lu Yunzhou looked away, finished his soup, and said, "Teacher Ye, I want to be discharged from the hospital."

"no."

Ye Churan straightened her face and her tone became serious, "The doctor said your injuries are too severe, and you need to stay in the hospital for at least a week for observation. You have to listen to me on this matter, no arguing allowed."

Lu Yunzhou smiled and nodded.

Ye Churan put away the lunchbox, gave a few instructions, and then left.

The ward quieted down, and Lu Yunzhou continued to circulate his internal energy to repair the remaining injuries.

In the middle of the night, he quietly removed the IV from his hand, changed his clothes, and left the hospital through the fire escape.

I took a taxi to the apartment building where Ye Churan lived.

He lives on the third floor, and she lives on the fourth floor; they usually just go up and down the stairs.

I can't go home right now, so I want to talk to her for a bit.

I had just reached the door of her apartment on the fourth floor, and before I could even raise my hand to knock, I could hear the sounds coming from inside.

He used to be unable to hear the sounds through the security door, but now, with his meridians reshaped and his five senses enhanced, he can hear every word of the conversation inside.

"Teacher Ye, I've always had feelings for you, you should know that."

A man's voice, middle-aged, with a false gentleness.

Lu Yunzhou's pupils contracted.

He recognized the voice.

Zhao Liqun.

The dean of studies at the school Ye Churan attended was also the nephew of a leader in the municipal education bureau.

This man has a terrible reputation in the circle. Rumors of him groping young female teachers have never stopped, but no one has ever dared to do anything to him.

Ye Churan's voice rang out, restrained but with a hint of refusal: "Director Zhao, thank you for your concern, but I can handle the renewal of my late husband's grave plot myself."

Zhao Liqun chuckled: "You think you can handle this? Professor Ye, you know your own monthly salary. The cemetery has issued an ultimatum: if you don't renew your fees next month, they'll remove Professor Xu's urn. Can you bear to see him not even rest in peace?"

Teacher Xu, Ye Churan's deceased husband.

She was in a car accident less than a year after getting married, and she has been carrying the burden alone ever since.

"I'll figure something out. Director Zhao, it's getting late, please go back."

"Teacher Ye, I've been pursuing you for two years. What are you holding back for? You're only twenty-six this year, beautiful, and have a great figure. What's the point of guarding yourself for a dead man? If you come with me, you won't have to worry about anything."

"Director Zhao! Please have some self-respect!"

"Ah... What are you doing! Let go!"

Ye Churan's scream pierced the ears, followed by a crisp slap.

The next second, Zhao Liqun's tone changed, becoming chillingly cold.

"You shameless bitch, you've got no shame. I've been chasing you for so long, saying all the nice things, but you just ignored me. Today, I'm going to fuck you!"

"No! Zhao Liqun, let me go! Help! Help me!"

"Go ahead and yell. Do you think anyone outside can hear you with this little bit of soundproofing? Even if you call the police, so what? One word from my uncle at the station is more effective than ten calls from you!"

Lu Yunzhou, standing outside the door, felt blood rushing to his head.

He took a step back, gathered his strength in his right leg, and kicked hard in the center of the security door.

boom!

The entire iron gate was dented and deformed, and the door frame along with it fell out of the wall, crashing into the entrance hall and raising a cloud of dust.

Lu Yunzhou stepped inside.

On the living room sofa, Ye Churan was pressed into the cushions, and a few buttons on her shirt collar were undone, revealing her fair skin below her collarbone.

Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were filled with terror.

Zhao Liqun, who was on top of her, was fat and bloated, his face flushed, and he was looking back at the door.

"Cloud Boat!"

Ye Churan cried out.

"Teacher Ye, don't be afraid."

Lu Yunzhou rushed over in three strides and kicked Zhao Liqun squarely in the ribs.

The dull thud of bones breaking.

Zhao Liqun, who weighs 180 pounds, was sent flying, his back hitting the coffee table and shattering cups all over the floor.

He curled up on the ground, his face contorted in pain, unable to get up for a long time.

Ye Churan huddled in the corner of the sofa, hugging her shoulders and trembling all over.

Lu Yunzhou took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. He turned around and stared at Zhao Liqun on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Liqun coughed a few times, clutching his chest, and glared fiercely at Lu Yunzhou.

"Kid...you're finished...do you know who I am?"

"One phone call from me... and I can make you wish you were dead for the rest of your life..."
