I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 10 Don't touch me!

Xu Lan planted her feet on the ground, channeled her energy around her waist, and then with a flick and shake of her shoulders, she redirected her force, using a move called "Wild Horse Parts Its Mane" to send He Wenjie and Ye Qingzhou flying several meters away.

The two reacted quickly, dissipating the force the moment they landed, thus avoiding a face-first fall.

Once he regained his balance and stood firm, Ye Qingzhou stared intently at Xu Lan's body. Her graceful curves made his eyes light up, and he wished he could see through her clothes and into her skin to see her clearly.

Compared to Sha Lixin's powerful yet lifeless aura, Xu Lan's body was full of vitality. Whether it was her breathing or muscle exertion, everything was so energetic and orderly. Her move just now even contained an extremely sophisticated martial arts technique.

If he could, Ye Qingzhou really wanted to touch Xu Lan's entire body with his own hands and explore the secrets of martial arts on Blue Star through physical contact.

Xu Lan successfully stopped the two from fighting, then glared at them and demanded sharply, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, just a friendly sparring match."

He Wenjie glanced at Xu Lan, and lied without batting an eye in front of her, his teacher.

Ye Qingzhou relaxed and calmly said, "Senior He asked me to teach him boxing techniques and to point out the shortcomings in his training. Although he didn't offer any money and his sincerity wasn't very good, I am, after all, a kind person who likes to help others, so I reluctantly agreed to his request."

Xu Lan's eyes twitched as she listened. She wasn't stupid; she knew perfectly well that He Wenjie and Ye Qingzhou were just fooling her.

Students these days are getting harder and harder to manage!

Nowadays, martial spirit is prevalent among the people of Dongji, and the young people are full of vigor, so private fights are rampant despite repeated bans.

Fortunately, she arrived in time today; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Private fights are prohibited at No. 1 Middle School. If you want to fight, go to the school's fighting center and apply for a ring match yourself, understand?"

After speaking, Xu Lan specifically looked at He Wenjie.

Knowing he couldn't get his revenge today, He Wenjie casually put away his boxing stance and nodded expressionlessly to Xu Lan: "Yes, I'll be more careful next time."

He Wenjie then glanced at Ye Qingzhou, and left without saying anything more.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou shrugged and decided to go home.

As soon as he turned around, Xu Lan called out to him, "Ye Qingzhou, wait a moment."

"???"

Ye Qingzhou stopped in his tracks, his face full of questions.

Xu Lan stepped forward gracefully, her bright eyes sparkling, seemingly carrying a hint of unexpected surprise.

She immediately stepped forward and began to grope Ye Qingzhou, touching his arms, shoulders, chest, and back thoroughly, and doing so with great force, becoming increasingly excited as she did so: "Excellent physique, smooth blood circulation, I never thought you really were a fish that slipped through the net of nine years of compulsory education!"

Such a martial arts prodigy went unnoticed during compulsory education, allowing Xu Lan to snag a huge windfall. Xu Lan was overjoyed.

"Teacher, don't touch me like that!"

Ye Qingzhou felt uncomfortable being touched all over; after all, no one likes their secrets and trump cards to be known by others.

What excellent physical constitution and smooth blood circulation? This was not a talent that the original owner was born with. Rather, it was because Ye Qingzhou had used his previous life's Gang Jin cultivation to control his spine and subdue his blood and qi when he practiced his boxing that morning, allowing his body to step back into the realm of subduing dragons and tigers.

Xu Lan smiled slightly, thinking Ye Qingzhou was just shy, and teased him, "What, you're actually shy now?"

"Teacher, I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

"Wait, I came here specifically to see you?"

"Looking for me?"

Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled: "Wasn't He Weifang's matter explained clearly before? If all else fails, we can check the cafeteria's surveillance footage, right? Don't tell me the cameras just happen to be broken today..."

"What on earth are you thinking about, you idiot?"

Xu Lan rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou, annoyed. "Even if you beat He Weifang to death, it has nothing to do with me. I came to see you for something else."

Xu Lan then explained her purpose: "Ye Qingzhou, I would like to invite you to join the swordsmanship club at No. 1 High School."

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

"You want to learn the other five of the Six Forms of Military Competition, right? As long as you join the swordsmanship club, I can teach you in advance. Not only that, the swordsmanship club of No. 1 Middle School enjoys special funding support from the school. As long as you get a top five spot, you can get a free 'martial arts meal,' which is very beneficial for cultivating your martial arts foundation."

"Stop, don't say anymore."

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's gaze was resolute, and his attitude sincere: "Since Teacher Xu has so kindly invited me, I can only accept. Actually, I really hope to join the school's swordsmanship club, to deeply review what I've learned through this brand-new platform, and then, by quantitatively benchmarking myself against other individuals in society with similar experience, to identify the gap between existing and new resources in multiple dimensions. Combining this with my own excellent and irreplaceable resources, I seek to accelerate the breakthrough of existing industry technical barriers and seize the precious opportunities that the times have given to individuals with minimal assets..."

"stop!"

Xu Lan's head was spinning. She recognized every single word Ye Qingzhou said, but when put together, it sounded like a brainwashing spell. After listening, she felt like her brain was about to be shaken to its core.

Speak like a human being!

"Ahem, what I mean is, I really want to improve, so Teacher Xu, what benefits do you have to offer? You should offer them up first."

Ye Qingzhou grinned and then chose to tell the truth.

Xu Lan looked at the student in front of her who didn't seem like a student at all, and asked with a strange expression, "Aren't you going to ask me what I need you to do?"

Ye Qingzhou replied calmly, "Teacher Xu, you can't expect me to commit murder and arson, can you?"

Xu Lan chuckled, her eyes softening with a rare gentleness: "So you know you can't do illegal things?"

"No, it's just that it's illegal work, so they charge extra."

"..."

Xu Lan suddenly felt a little regretful. The peerless genius in front of her was indeed outstanding, but he seemed to be a little mentally unstable.

However, she had no other choice at the moment. The reason she came here today to invite Ye Qingzhou to join the sword club was because she had been in charge of leading the sword club at No. 1 Middle School since the beginning of this year.

If she can lead the team to achieve good results within two years, it will be extremely beneficial for her.

Xu Lan originally favored her cousin Xu Yuebing as the swordsmanship prodigy. After all, the Xu family was a renowned martial arts family in Linjiang, having produced three famous martial arts masters. Therefore, with such a family tradition, the outstanding younger generation in the clan naturally received careful cultivation and upbringing from a young age.

Not only do they invite renowned martial arts masters to provide one-on-one instruction, but they also enjoy a variety of priceless martial arts meals. They drink spiritual spring water and eat spirit beast meat, making their aptitude and potential far superior to their peers.

However, after Xu Lan saw Ye Qingzhou defeat He Weifang with his sword finger, she was deeply amazed by the talent he displayed.

In her eyes, Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship was perfectly natural, like a flawless piece of white jade. Although his strength was far from being powerful, he could control it with ease, and even she could not find any obvious flaws.

In other words, if her cultivation foundation were the same as Ye Qingzhou's, she knew she wouldn't be a match for him.

In Xu Lan's view, the only way to break Ye Qingzhou's sword techniques is through brute force.

She is very excited. She never expected that returning to her hometown to teach would allow her to discover such a talented and promising person whose potential had not been recognized by others!
