One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Zhang Chulan was completely stunned.

Chapter 212 Gao Erzhuang Reappears

At first, things were a bit better. The power of light kept descending under Qi Ge's command, and even if Zhang Chulan couldn't beat it, he could still dodge it a couple of times.

But Chen Qi noticed that Zhang Chulan was dodging more and more often.

He changed his methods and stopped using the giant serpent's power.

Instead, they brought out the Tongtianlu (a magical talisman).

A tracking talisman left Zhang Chulan with no chance to dodge, and he kept chasing and attacking.

This marked the beginning of Zhang Chulan's embarrassing situation.

He had calmly dodged Chen Qi's attack, and was still feeling smug when he was chased and made to look quite disheveled by the tracking talisman.

His clothes were tattered and his face was covered in mud.

He looked like a wild monkey in a primeval jungle.

When Zhang Chulan realized something was wrong, he even begged for mercy, but Chen Qi ignored him completely and just kept drawing talismans in mid-air.

For Chen Qi, drawing talismans was just like painting – effortless.

They could easily draw more than a dozen pictures and then surround Chen Qi.

Realizing this, Zhang Chulan stopped dodging and began to confront them head-on.

Then he realized he had made a terrible mistake.

When he mustered up the courage to face the challenge head-on, Chen Qi's speed in drawing talismans almost skyrocketed!

This left Zhang Chulan completely flustered and overwhelmed.

The initial pace of waiting for Zhang Chulan to finish one batch before drawing another has suddenly accelerated to releasing over fifty drawings at once.

It completely drove Zhang Chulan to his breaking point!

The moment Zhang Chulan fell from the tree to the ground, he was exhausted, as if he had been ravaged inside and out.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Chen Qi slowly walked over and kicked Zhang Chulan, "Still pretending in front of me?"

These words startled Zhang Chulan.

"What do you mean? Brother Qi, I don't understand you, I really don't understand."

Chen Qi took a deep breath and remained silent.

The two seemed to be locked in an invisible stalemate.

After a long while, Chen Qi finally reacted and turned to walk home.

"Forget it, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

He originally wanted to force Zhang Chulan through external means to see if he could bring out the limits of the Qi Source Flow.

But no success.

He underestimated Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan is far more resilient than he imagined. Even under so much external pressure, his heart remains steadfast and unwavering.

To put it simply, he doesn't respect you.

It's not the kind of derogatory resentment, but rather a deep-seated conviction and dedication to oneself.

'I'll beat you one day.'

These words seemed to be engraved deep in Zhang Chulan's heart, telling him to persevere.

Never give up.

This kind of mindset is very suitable for Zhang Chulan, and even better.

Many people lack this mindset and end up mediocre and drifting with the tide.

But some things inevitably have both advantages and disadvantages.

The opposite of refusing to admit defeat is countless setbacks and trials.

It tests you time and time again whether you have consistently adhered to this principle and mindset.

This is not a trial bestowed by heaven, but a challenge brought about by one's own character, principles, and values.

The general idea is similar to what Buddhism teaches: everyone has their own trials and tribulations to overcome, which are brought about by their values ​​and personality traits formed from childhood.

Only by overcoming these challenges can you truly be yourself.

Zhang Chulan got up from the ground, watching Chen Qi's voice gradually fade away, and slowly pursed her lips.

He knew that Qi Ge was training him.

But Bao'er often practices this way.

For Zhang Chulan, there are always two insurmountable mountains: one is Feng Baobao, and the other is Qi Ge.

Therefore, such blows and oppression will not affect him at all.

The only impact might be that Zhang Chulan will be more motivated to work harder, be more diligent, and keep going.

Inside the villa.

Fu Rong had already prepared six bowls of knife-cut noodles and was sitting at the dining table with Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, and Duo'er, waiting for Chen Qi and the others to return.

Seeing that the noodles were about to lose their heat, she became a little anxious. "Why don't we eat them first, or they'll clump together."

..... .... ....

Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao acted as if she had received an order, picked up her bowl, and began to eat noodles.

Duo'er breathed a sigh of relief, "That's exactly what Rong-jie said. Actually, we don't need to wait for the two of them to eat. They can eat if they can make it in time, and they won't eat if they can't."

That's just how it is at home.

Hearing Duo'er say this, Fu Rong was initially a little uncomfortable.

After all, they all ate together when they were in Biyou Village.

On second thought, that makes sense. Chen Qi and Zhang Chulan are known for their unpredictable appearances and disappearances, so waiting for them to eat is definitely not a certainty.

"Ding"

The sound of a cell phone notification came from the doorway.

The three of them simultaneously peered over.

Chen Qi walked in with his phone in hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes after seeing the content on it.

Gao Erzhuang: "I know you've been in close contact with the Feng family lately, but I haven't told the company. I hope you can tell me."

Upon seeing the message above, Chen Qi was stunned for a long time.

Erzhuang was a secret weapon trained by the Gao family for the company to use in network communication.

They just switched sides like that?

Chapter 213 Meeting in Virtual Form

To be honest, Chen Qi was somewhat skeptical.

After reading the text messages for a while, Chen Qi waved towards the restaurant, then walked to the living room sofa and sat down.

"What do you want to know?"

If Chen Qi had previously thought Erzhuang was a mischievous and adorable child...

From this moment on, Erzhuang will be officially regarded as an extraordinary person.

An individual with supernatural abilities who exists independently.

She is not a machine or tool of the company, but a person with independent thinking.

The other end flashed "typing..." once, and then the message came through.

It's a very long passage, which must have taken a long time to conceive.

I made ample preparations before asking the question.

"577"

“I heard everything you and the Feng family said, whether I should have heard it or not.”

"Do you want to go against the company?"

Upon seeing the following sentence, Chen Qi slightly curled his lips.

This girl is actually testing him.

Even now, do you still want to believe that Chen Qi is a good person?

Or do you want to believe that he is willing to be a dog for the company forever?

Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied, "What do you think?"

In short, it's as if the person on the other end is stuck on a machine.

Er Zhuang didn't reply for a long time, and his status repeatedly showed "typing," which was enough to show how conflicted he was.

Chen Qi didn't want to make things difficult for a child.

No matter what, Erzhuang is just a child to him.

So he posted another message: "We have different paths, so we cannot work together. You can do your job well, but don't impose it on me."

"And I won't ask anything of you, but there's something I must tell you."

"You're currently confined to one place, unable to move around, and can only wander virtually online. Is this really the life you want?"

He had only meant to say one thing, but after sending the message, Chen Qi was suddenly filled with inspiration and typed much faster.

"You're a girl, lively and cute, but you can only exist in the network, you can't touch the person, and the only way to communicate is by chatting. Are you really satisfied with this?"

Chen Qi was certain that no one would willingly be confined to one place.

No one can bear the thought of losing their freedom.

Even monks who have seen through the illusions of the mortal world.

After sending several messages in a row, Chen Qi put down his phone with satisfaction.

For him, the act of touching and passing on power may be both difficult and easy.

But the most complicated one is Erzhuang.

Erzhuang's inhuman methods made it impossible for him to accomplish anything.

Unless, of course, Erzhuang can be freed from this kind of exertion.

Her superpowers still exist; she's just looking for a new vessel.

This approach might be difficult for others.

But it wasn't difficult for Chen Qi.

By utilizing both hands, the red hand can create a completely new vessel, while the blue hand transfers the spirit and soul to that vessel.

Therefore, as long as Erzhuang agrees, Chen Qi can do it.

But the other side showed no sign of backing down.

The wait was getting too long, and Chen Qi lost his patience, so he got up to go to the restaurant to see if there was any food left.

Just then, Zhang Chulan walked in from outside, looking disheveled.

Upon seeing this, Fu Rong looked on in surprise, "Zhang Chulan? Why are you back like this? Did a wolf chase you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan slowly raised his head and said, "Yes, I was chased by a big gray wolf."

"Ah!" Fu Rong was even more shocked. "You have wolves in this forest? Isn't this the suburbs?"

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Zhang Chulan hadn't expected Fu Rong to be so simple-minded; she hadn't even picked up on his pointed remark...
