Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Faced with Ye Rongbo and the burly man, who were already terrified by Ruan Xueqing, they immediately nodded and agreed to whatever Tu Yuan said.

Upon learning that Tu Yuan did not intend to pursue the matter, both of them showed a look of relief.

Finally, Tu Yuan revealed that he had been frightened by the two of them.

Both of them were very sensible and offered compensation for emotional distress.

After Tu Yuan's beating and banging, the two men each received 10,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress.

A total of 20,000.

Watching the burly man help Ye Rongbo leave, Tu Yuan withdrew his gaze and then looked at Ruan Xueqing, saying:

"If it weren't for you, Xiao Qingzi, I probably would have run away as fast as I could. How could I have gotten 20,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress without doing anything and just talking?"

"I'll transfer half of this compensation for emotional distress to you later."

Ruan Xueqing smiled, her eyes curving gently:

"Aren't you already a martial arts performer?!"

"Even if you don't run, use the police grappling techniques and wrestling skills you've learned."

"Dealing with those two shouldn't be a problem."

"Keep this compensation for emotional distress for yourself; it's useless to me."

"Even if I can beat them, I'll run. It would be such a waste to get hurt. I'm much more valuable than those two!"

Tu Yuan didn't feel ashamed at all for saying he wanted to run away in front of Ruan Xueqing; in fact, his tone was even quite self-righteous.

"You're not wrong, you're much more precious than the two of them."

Tu Yuan took out his phone and transferred 10,000 yuan directly to Ruan Xueqing.

"I've transferred the money! Remember to check it back!"

"I know you have a lot of pocket money, but let's keep things separate!"

"Let's go to my house. Are you staying with your grandparents tonight?"

"Yes! I came back with my mom this time!"

Ruan Xueqing knew Tu Yuan's home very well, and she walked towards the neighborhood where Tu Yuan lived with a hint of excitement in her steps.

Tu Yuan slowed Ruan Xueqing down a few steps and followed behind her.

Since awakening his memories of his past life, Tu Yuan has felt a change in his mindset.

Compared to his peers, he always lacked the youthful vigor and spirit that belong to young people.

They possess a greater sense of maturity and composure that comes with middle age.

Although he is still young, not yet twenty-one, he no longer has the mindset that belongs to the youthful years.

In addition, his current strength is not great and his status is not high.

Working in a police station always leaves me feeling insecure.

This is especially true for Shen Xin, who is about to take up his post at the Zhenghe Police Station.

Deep down, Tu Yuan felt a strange pressure.

Perhaps it was because when he was at Dongzhou University, he was almost prevented from joining the student union and almost missed out on his scholarship by Shen Xin's lackeys.

Or perhaps it's because Shen Xin is Ruan Xueqing's suitor.

Therefore, he naturally harbored hostility towards Shen Xin, but his current strength and status were far inferior to Shen Xin's.

This caused Tu Yuan to always feel a faint sense of anxiety and pressure.

But now, standing next to Ruan Xueqing, he was infected by her youthful vitality, and the anxiety deep in his heart gradually melted away like spring snow.

Tu Yuan thought about his goal.

He wanted to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, to stand atop the Federal Mountain and see the world.

Guys like Shen Xin.

In reality, it was nothing compared to the goals he had set.

If he can't even remain calm when facing someone like Shen Xin, what will he do when facing even stronger opponents?!

His memories of his past life gave him a maturity beyond his years, but also brought him a kind of constraint.

This constraint, like a shackle, makes Tu Yuan overly cautious and cautious in his actions, as if walking on thin ice.

Being cautious in one's actions is not a bad thing, but it can be detrimental if one wants to achieve a lofty ideal.

Caution alone is not enough; one must also have the determination to burn one's bridges.

Thinking this, Tu Yuan's entire mindset underwent a change he couldn't perceive.

Ruan Xueqing, who was walking ahead with light steps, seemed to sense something at that moment.

She turned her head to look at Tu Yuan.

They found Tu Yuan standing still, seemingly lost in a mysterious state.

Ruan Xueqing looked at Tu Yuan, who was in this state, with shock in her eyes.

"This is... an epiphany?!"

After Ruan Xueqing realized what was happening, a glint of silver flashed in her eyes.

An unseen force surrounded Tu Yuan, forming an invisible barrier.

This barrier can keep out interference; even sound cannot get through.

Ruan Xueqing looked on with a hint of nervousness as she observed the slightest movement around her.

If Tu Yuan were disturbed at this time, it would be disastrous.

At the same time, she was also confused.

Why did Tu Yuan suddenly have an epiphany out of nowhere?!

This kind of situation is said to be rare and hard to come by, it's purely a matter of luck.

Why did Tu Yuan arrive so suddenly?

Tu Yuan stood there, feeling as if he were dreaming.

He could sense all the changes around him, and could even see a transparent barrier around his body.

He could almost see the powerful beating of his heart, and the way his skin breathed with the most subtle undulations.

More importantly, there was that heat flow that only appeared when one practiced the body tempering technique again.

It suddenly appeared out of thin air inside his body and began to circulate at an extremely fast speed.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also felt like it had just happened in an instant.

Tu Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Then I saw Ruan Xueqing, whose face was slightly pale and who was in poor spirits.

Seeing this, Tu Yuan understood that the transparent barrier he had just sensed was the same one.

It was created by Ruan Xueqing using her mental power.

"Ha! Little Yuanzi! You're finally done!"

"If you don't have your epiphany soon, I really won't be able to hold on any longer!"

Seeing Tu Yuan open his eyes, Ruan Xueqing immediately smiled.

He still has that same energetic look.

However, one could clearly sense a sense of fatigue in Ruan Xueqing's voice.

Tu Yuan did not express his gratitude.

He and Ruan Xueqing had a great understanding; even without saying anything, Ruan Xueqing could sense his thoughts.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Wait! You mean I just entered a state of enlightenment?!"

Upon hearing Ruan Xueqing's words, Tu Yuan immediately realized what state he had just been in.

A sudden realization!

Tu Yuan quickly glanced at his martial arts progress in his mind.

His eyes suddenly lit up.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 61/100 (Transformation into a Martial Artist)]

An epiphany actually increased his martial arts progress by 61 points.

His transformation from a first-time martial arts performer to a second-time martial arts performer had been shortened by more than half by this point.

He was only 39 points away from reaching the level of a second-stage martial artist.

"What else did you think!"

"Hmph, I wonder what kind of luck you had, Xiao Yuanzi."

"You can have an epiphany just by walking!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Although Ruan Xueqing's words were sarcastic, her eyes were full of smiles.

"Come on! Let's go to your house! I want to see snoring!"

"It's been so long since I've petted this chubby little rascal!"

"Your sudden realization took almost an hour."

"I can't sit here for more than a few minutes, or my mom will call and tell me to go home!"

Tu Yuan took out his phone to check the time; it was only a little past ten when Ye Rongbo and the other man left.

It's already eleven o'clock.

He looked at Ruan Xueqing, his eyes gentle.

"You'll be at Shengyun lately, right? I'll find someone to cover my shift tomorrow night, and I'll treat you to dinner!"

"You decide what we eat!"

"You're so thoughtful, Xiao Yuanzi! I want to eat the stir-fried pork kidneys, spicy pig's trotters, and fish-flavored tofu from Chunhua Restaurant near my old school..."

The girl's ethereal and pure voice echoed, and the banyan trees planted on the sidewalks on both sides of the street rustled gently in the breeze.
