Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

However, he was able to deliver such a blow.

Delivering such a blow... isn't particularly difficult. Even Miss Shadow, whose direct combat strength is at the bottom among the top-tier fighters, could shatter a giant tree like that. But without a doubt, she must have expended some effort. What surprised Ji Qiuming was that he clearly hadn't used his full strength just now—he didn't even know how much effort he had put in, because he felt that he had no limit.

He didn't use his full strength, neither his physical strength nor his internal energy. In just a few breaths, he felt that his internal energy had almost recovered, as if his body had a super mana pool built into it.

"This is so strange...why am I so strong?"

Ji Qiuming felt like he was omnipotent.

This feeling arose after the mysterious man in black appeared and took away what he was guarding... After that, he felt something awakening within him.

Actually, when he first came to Mirror Flower Water Moon with Ji Fenming, he had a feeling that Fu Feihan's strength had always been greater than his own. After Ji Qiuming left, Fu Feihan even followed Ying Qin Pass to cultivate, and his strength increased at a speed almost like he had activated the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. But when he met Ji Qiuming in the Chaotic Province last time, he was completely suppressed.

But during that time, this feeling wasn't very obvious... It wasn't until recently, when that mysterious person appeared and then disappeared, that this feeling truly awakened.

His strength increased, allowing him to pierce 10mm thick superalloy with his fingers without using internal energy. His speed also increased; Ji Qiuming hadn't conducted specific tests, but he felt his attack speed had reached at least two-thirds the speed of sound... and that wasn't all.

His dynamic vision is enough to catch a high-speed spinning electric fan, and his thinking speed is so fast that when he throws a frisbee while teasing a dog, he can calculate the parabolic formula before it hits the ground. This kind of body doesn't seem like a rebellious ghost, but rather like an owl.

Moreover, it's not just any owl; it must be the most ruthless of owls, possessing violence, even reaching the level of a powerful leader.

Not to mention his internal energy.

Ji Qiuming's internal energy destructive power, internal energy recovery speed, and even internal energy flow speed are all significantly stronger.

He felt that if he could go back to that day, back to the chaotic province of that day, then no one except Ying Qin Guan and Ji Fen Ming would be his match... Yes, even top-tier super-class beings like Nephalem.

After leaving the Seven Luminaries, he went from a weak first-rate to a first-rate, and when they reunited in the Chaotic Province, he was already a strong first-rate. And now, he considers himself at least a top-tier super-first-rate.

He felt omnipotent, as if possessed by a god.

It would be impossible for Ji Qiuming not to feel joy at his sudden surge in strength. But his heart was filled with more doubt and worry... Why had he become so strong? Where did this power come from?

Is it a special race... or an ancestor?

Ji Qiuming didn't know, or perhaps it was just his imagination, but he felt his life burning rapidly. In this process, he would grow stronger endlessly. At the moment his life came to an end, he would be the strongest. But... what would happen next?

Ji Qiuming neither knew nor cared; he sensed he might be dying. But he was merely curious about the reason, not particularly eager to end this death... because he truly needed this power, and more importantly—

He is not afraid of death, he has never been afraid.

"I don't know who you are, whether you're an angel or a demon, a god or a ghost, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... Let me seize this last moment."

Ji Qiuming stood up and gazed into the distance, towards the City of Truth. Then, he turned and looked towards the Seven Luminaries Capital.

"Let me save one person, and then say goodbye... I came into this world, and I'll leave it, owing no one anything."

The scene shifts to the Luo River... She's playing cards, then...

-

"call.."

In the breathing room reserved for martial arts students, Fu Feihan finished a cycle of breathing exercises. He picked up his weapon, pulled out his student card from the door, and went out, intending to go to the training ground for some more practice.

Last summer, he returned to Huanxing Plains and spent the time with his master, but this time... that won't work.

Following the Earth Mother Goddess incident, the military investigated and attempted to arrest Fu Feihan's master, Gu Xuan. Although the arrest ultimately failed, his identity was confirmed as one of the two perpetrators of the incident, and an arrest warrant has been issued for him. Fu Feihan encountered considerable trouble during that period and was subjected to numerous investigations. However, he was eventually released because he genuinely had not participated in anything and knew nothing of the inside story.

The two incidents involving Ji Qiuming and Gu Xuan had a profound impact on Fu Feihan, and he was no longer as cheerful as before. However, although his personality had changed, Fu Feihan was still Fu Feihan, and he would never do anything that would make people feel unfamiliar or wonder, "Is this really Fu Feihan?"

He arrived at the training ground... The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the empty training ground, which was deserted and completely silent.

There weren't many students in the Martial Arts Department to begin with, and now that it was summer vacation and also mealtime, there were even fewer people. However, it was indeed a rare occurrence to find no one at all, and Fu Feihan just happened to run into one.

Standing in this vast training ground, a sense of loneliness rose within him... It wasn't just the emptiness of the place, nor just the passing of his master and Ji Qiuming; what truly made him feel lonely was the path he himself had chosen.

"Even if I could be as strong as Teacher Ying... no, even if I were as invincible as the nameless swordsman of Southern Qin, it wouldn't help this matter at all, let alone have any companions. Is this path even meaningful...?"

【“..”】

After a few seconds of hesitation, Fu Feihan gripped his sword, assumed a fighting stance, and began to practice.

"It will exist... but I must find its meaning myself, and then I must define it myself."

Chapter Twenty: I'll Kill You!

"I'll kill you, you bastard!"

In the amusement park, inside the bumper car area, Ruoye's eyes were bloodshot. She stepped on the gas and rammed into her older sister.

Jifa remained calm, even taking the time to pull out a women's cigarette from her pocket, chant a simple incantation, and light it.

Martial artists and mages are not mutually exclusive; it's just that they can't be used in actual combat most of the time. However, martial artists like Jiu Yi and Ji Fa generally master minor spells such as ignition and illumination. Nephalem know even more, not to mention Ye Jiao Fang, who might even know advanced forbidden magic.

Why were these two at the amusement park, and why did Wakaba hurt Hime so badly...? Well, that's a long story, but we can also keep it short.

Hime and Wakaba formed a free-love alliance. Wakaba made a huge decision, even cutting off her parents' financial support for it. However, on the very first day of the alliance, Hime learned from her parents that "you'll be free if you resolve things with Wakaba." Hime then tricked Wakaba, who had lost most of her financial support, into going out for a nice meal, and then sent her to meet her arranged date.

Ruoye spent half the afternoon awkwardly chatting with someone, and when she came out, her eyes were red as she wanted to settle scores with Jifa and sever their sisterly relationship.

Ji Fa cursed her parents inwardly for being unreliable—they said that the blind date was some kind of handsome guy with a nine-headed, manga-like face, silver hair, and red eyes, and that winning over Ruo Ye would be a piece of cake, and she wouldn't even have time to thank them.

With no other option, in order to appease the furious Wakaba, Hime had to sign numerous humiliating treaties to maintain the fragile alliance.

This includes bumper cars.

Even though Wakaba was furiously flooring the accelerator, her eyes red, looking like she wanted nothing more than to kill Hime-fa, a bumper car is still a bumper car. Its speed is capped at 10km/h, and it won't turn into a supersonic fighter jet.

Himeko lit a cigarette, and Wakaba rammed into her, causing her car to move slightly backward. Himeko could have dodged, but she didn't.

As a person, one must have martial virtue. If you are going to be hit, you must stand at attention. Although she could have done a 360-degree spin on the spot and then stepped on the gas to send her foolish sister flying, Ji Fa did not do that.

"I see you don't understand at all... Wakaba."

Ji Fa's eyes were sharp.

"The so-called alliance simply doesn't exist. The Warner family needs a suitable successor..."

The Duke of Warner is the founding duke. If he really just wanted to find an heir, then it would be too easy for his mother. The main thing is to find a suitable man who is good enough and willing to marry into the family. There's nothing to say about that; it's unavoidable. With such a large business and hereditary title, the Warner family can't possibly let both of their daughters get married.

Therefore, either Hime-fa or Wakaba is destined to be the unlucky one... In that case, the alliance will crumble on its own. Hime-fa, being a sleazy adult, saw through this long ago and skillfully betrayed his sister, making a swift and decisive escape. Meanwhile, Wakaba is still dreaming of a joint effort to resist a foreign enemy...

The two sides were never on the same level from the start, so in Hime's eyes, Wakaba's counterattack was nothing more than child's play!

Hmph, to put it bluntly, guys who vent their emotions on games like bumper cars are just immature brats.

Suddenly, a violent acceleration sounded in her ears. Ji Fa subconsciously looked up and saw a bumper car rushing towards her at a speed that bumper cars shouldn't be going at. The man sitting in it reeked of alcohol, with one foot on the steering wheel, like a thug from a biker gang. His internal energy was surging, which was the source of the bumper car's extremely high speed.

Ji Fa recognized the man, but at this moment, her first thought was—"This guy doesn't play games with any sportsmanship."

Yes, the newcomer is indeed very unethical. Ji Fa has rarely seen anyone more unethical than this guy. His competitive spirit is so intense, and his bottom line is so low... Director of the Anguo Division, Nephalem.

The legendary spy of the Seven Luminaries, the Director of the State Security Bureau, and ostensibly one of the top five martial arts masters in the world. Now, however, he's reeking of alcohol and driving bumper cars... Would anyone believe him if he said that?

But with the facts unfolding before her eyes, Ji Fa had no choice but to believe it.

"I'll destroy you!" the Nephalem shouted, and the bumper cars sped up even more.

Jifa turned around instinctively; Nephalem was clearly not talking to her anymore. But she was coming this way, so who was with Nephalem...?

She turned around and saw Ying Qin Guan slowly drive up behind her.

The other person's face was slightly flushed. He was half-lying on the car. When he saw Ji Fa looking at him, he put his index and middle fingers together on his forehead and then waved them forward as a greeting.

"Ah, please let me use you for a little bit of my business."

use..?

Everything happened in a mere second. Ji Fa hadn't even had time to react to what had occurred, nor did she realize what Ying Qin Guan meant. In that instant, the Nephalem, so drunk he was practically digging his temples with his index finger, slammed in. He accelerated with his inner energy, and the bumper car, like a pure heroine in a minotaur comic encountering an orc, reached a peak speed she could never have achieved in her life, sending Ji Fa's car flying. Fortunately, the bumper car's safety system was in place, and Ji Fa wasn't thrown off balance.

Even so, this is definitely not going to hurt.

bump!

The bumper car jolted violently, and Lady Jifa's cigarette flew out, burning a small hole in her dress.

The two drunken culprits showed no remorse whatsoever. Ying Qin Guan, with a perfectly sarcastic tone, mocked, "Hey, you can't bump into me!"

Nefertory's nose was practically crooked from the weather, but he could only vent his anger on others.

"You woman, get out of my way!"

"..." Ji Fa remained calm, extinguishing the cigarette that had fallen into the carriage. Then she took out another cigarette, swung it through the air with her inner energy, and actually sparked a flame in the air, igniting the cigarette.

Her expression was profound, like a sleeping dragon.

"You two bastards..." Ji Fa stretched out her foot and stepped hard on the gas pedal.

"There's only one reason you died: you angered me. Don't blame me for not warning you..."

Ruoye, sensing something ominous, fearfully maneuvered her bumper car away silently, leaving the battlefield to these three ruthless individuals.

Ji Fa took a deep drag, and the cigarette visibly shortened. She stepped on the gas, her movements sleek and stylish, and the bumper car sped off like a beast unleashed from its cage, crashing into the two of them.

"Me? I failed my driving test (Part 3) seven times!"

Chapter Twenty-One: An Inescapable Fate

"It's your fault."

"It's your fault."

"It goes without saying that it's your fault."

"No, no, no matter how you look at it, it's your fault..."

"You're the one who bumped into her!"

"Don't get me wrong! Would I have done this if I hadn't drunk so much!"

"Don't drink so much!"

"You say you're not drunk? Am I supposed to say I am?"

"Can you please stop being so stubborn!"

Nefertari was stunned. He wondered what sins he had committed to be called stubborn by someone like Ying Qin Guan.

It was already noon the next day. They had returned to the hospital and started assigning blame for the bumper car fight that happened the day before while they were drunk.

Ying Qin Guan believed that the Nephalem had no taste of alcohol and attacked Ji Fa Che. The Nephalem, on the other hand, believed that Ying Qin Guan was clearly drunk but claimed he wasn't, forcing the competitive Ying Qin Guan to continue drinking, resulting in both of them being injured. Moreover, Ying Qin Guan was hiding behind a woman, which was despicable and shameless. He was simply a gigolo who lived off women!
