Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

"What do you mean you have to respond to her?!" Hearing Yuan Chen's explanation, and seeing the thing still trembling and approaching her with each word, Chunli turned her face away and reached out to block it, saying helplessly:

"Couldn't you have just refused her properly? Whether it was because of her physical condition, her studies, her martial arts, her ideals, or simply saying that you two don't know each other well enough, you could have just refused her directly!"

“That is indeed a good idea.” Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded, indicating his understanding.

But then, Yuan Chen opened his eyes again and said solemnly:

"But if things turn out this way, what about after that? I am destined to become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future. If I back down this time, how will I maintain my resolve and my ambition? Therefore, this is not a choice, but a trial!"

"Huh?" Chun-Li looked bewildered.

What are you... saying?

As for the domineering thoughts, Chun-Li has already experienced enough of them and can understand some of their meanings to some extent.

But where does this trial come from?

I don't understand, I don't understand at all! Wagana!

Seemingly sensing Chunli's confusion, Yuan Chen also raised his head again after a brief silence and said in a deep voice:

"This is a trial from the 'future'! Human growth...is about overcoming one's own immature weaknesses."

"what?"

Chunli was bewildered.

Yuan Chen simply said calmly:

"Perhaps to outsiders, that woman was a bit too crazy... But so what? She said those words and did those things in that situation, expressing her determination with pure fanaticism and resolve."

"I sensed her determination, how could I not respond? Since she has challenged me, I must respond!!"

"Then don't respond to everything..." Chunli sighed helplessly after hearing Yuan Chen's words.

Although it was a bit difficult to keep up, Chun-Li understood why Yuan-chen was doing this.

Whether they are ancient martial arts practitioners or modern martial arts practitioners, there is one thing they all have in common.

That is one's own martial arts heart, and the path of martial arts.

In other words—'meaning'.

Those who achieve great success in martial arts possess a determination and perseverance far exceeding that of ordinary people. They have an unwavering will to never give up or back down in the face of any challenge or hardship.

Responding to any challenge... perhaps this is the essence of Yuan Chen's martial arts?

Or perhaps... this is what Yuan Chen calls domineering intent?

Although not entirely sure, Chun-Li stopped dwelling on why Yuan Chen had directly responded to Wu Jialouluo's challenge. After a moment of silence, she looked at the caterpillar with a hint of helplessness, then said somewhat awkwardly:

"So... how do you plan to resolve this?"

Yuan Chen didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Chun Li.

Chun-Li felt despair at this:

"Don't just stare at me like that at a time like this!"

----------

Seeing that some readers had some opinions about the crazy plot in the previous chapter, I also reviewed it again. It was probably because I focused too much on one point when writing. In the future, I will simplify it so that most people can better accept and understand it.

As for the idea that every woman goes into heat, don't take it to heart. Looking at the whole book, only Wu Jialouluo's character setting matches this. Most of the others are similar to Chunli, who has both kidney and heart, plus Yuan Chen's stuff is too pure (referring to life energy).

In general, the main plot of this book revolves around killing, sex, and madness.

Volume 1: Chapter 43 - No Regrets for Killing My Son!

Upon hearing Chunli's words, Yuan Chen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Sorry, I may have startled you just now."

"Eh..." Chunli was taken aback when she heard Yuan Chen suddenly apologize, and then asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"It's mainly due to hormone secretion."

Yuan Chen spread his arms and drew several curves in front of him, saying, "Although I look calm now, I can actually feel that my emotions are like a roller coaster, constantly switching between extreme excitement, irritability, and depression."

"There is also a decline in judgment, an amplification of extreme thoughts, a constant intrusion of sexually related ideas into the brain, and fantasizing indiscriminately, even now."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Chun Li's lips twitched slightly, and then she hesitated before saying, "Uh...including now?"

"Ah."

Yuan Chen nodded: "Because Chunli is already very beautiful, and something happened last night..."

"Wait a minute, let's not talk about what happened last night!" Chunli interrupted, covering her face.

“Okay, but that’s how it is.” Yuan Chen rubbed his temples and said, “Actually, it’s not just Sister Chunli, but also Wu Jialouluo, whom I just met today, and that girl named Wu Fengshui…tsk, why is there an old lady too?”

Upon hearing this, Ingrid, who was sunbathing in the yard—and incidentally peeking at the unfolding events in the toilet through the mirror of the dimension—also frowned.

"Grandma? Ah Chen's been naughty!"

As a voice entered Yuan Chen and Chun Li's ears from the air, a small gloved hand magically emerged from the space in front of Yuan Chen's forehead and gave him a sharp rap on the head.

Although it hurt a little, Yuan Chen just shrugged indifferently and concluded, "Anyway, please."

Volume 1: 44. The Mad Man and the Mad Woman

Because they took showers after finishing, it was already noon by the time Yuan Chen and Chun Li finished getting ready.

After changing into clean clothes and making sure there were no extra traces or odors, the two headed towards the backyard.

"This is the last time, there can't be a next time." On the way, Chunli kept nagging with a bitter face:

“You’re still young, and you’ll be going back to school soon. Your sister is an Interpol agent and can’t always be by your side. When something like this happens, you need to learn to handle it yourself and learn to control yourself…”

“Okay.” Yuan Chen nodded.

Seeing Yuan Chen agreeing to everything, Chunli's face showed a hint of helplessness, but she quickly relaxed.

Chunli could more or less sense that her impulses when she was with Yuan Chen were probably due to a psychological dependence on life energy... Well, Yuan Chen himself also had some problems.

While it's not a bad thing to be honest about one's desires, Chun-Li still finds it troubling to say "beautiful" or "I like it" so matter-of-factly in that situation, combined with the masculine aura of life energy and male hormones.

Too foul.

I've always been a bit impulsive, and now I'm acting like this... No matter how you look at it, it's just too unfair.

However, there should only be a few days left. Once I reach the Battle Realm, I'll probably be assigned other missions. After a period of calm, this matter will likely pass... probably.

Thinking this, Yuan Chen raised his hand and said, "Uncle, Grandpa~"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Chun Li snapped out of her daze and quickly greeted him in return.

Tong Ang and Yuan nodded in agreement, but then Tong Ang asked with some surprise, "Why did it take you so long to get back? Did something happen?"

"Ah, it's mainly a side effect of the rampage of life energy," Yuan Chen said.

"I was stimulated by Wu Jialouluo, and my limbs continued to activate uncontrollably. I was only able to recover thanks to Chunli's help. Before, I was wondering whether I should start practicing ancient martial arts again after my meridians recovered, but now it seems that the first thing to do is to regain control of my rampaging body."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Tong Ang and Yuan, who had been wondering what Yuan Chen and Chun Li had been busy with for so long, shifted their attention to Yuan Chen's condition.

As soon as Yuan Chen finished speaking, Yuan Ye reached out and placed his hand on Yuan Chen's pulse.

As a burst of energy flowed into Yuan Chen's body, he nodded thoughtfully after a moment.

"That's true..."

After confirming the state of Yuan Chen's meridians, a hint of amazement appeared on Yuan's face:

"The width of the meridians has nearly doubled on the original basis... It's no exaggeration to say that it's like breaking down and rebuilding. With such a huge increase, it's no wonder that you can't control the flow of energy now, otherwise we old folks would really have nowhere to cry."

Upon hearing Yuan's words, a look of surprise appeared on Tong Ang's face.

He knew something about his old friend, Tong Ang.

Although he was known for killing in the martial arts world, the underworld, and the assassination scene, his medical skills were equally extraordinary. The fact that Yuan Chen said this now only shows that Yuan Chen's gains in this battle far exceeded ordinary people's expectations.

"However, I feel it might be a bit troublesome to control." Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen frowned and said:

"If Chun-Li hadn't arrived in time, it would have taken me a lot of effort to calm the restlessness. Completely taming it might not be as easy as I imagined."

“This is cultivation,” Yuan said casually.

"If you can tame even this so easily, then we old folks wouldn't need to live."

“Indeed.” Yuan Chen nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Yuan Chen was indeed alright, Tong Ang suggested, "Why don't we eat something first? It's already noon."

"Uh... I'll pass." She had initially intended to agree, but after a moment's hesitation, Chunli said awkwardly, "There were some snacks in Yuan Chen's room, and I ate some while I was resting..."

"I see..." Upon hearing this, Tong Ang had no doubts and simply looked at Yuan Chen beside him.

"And you, Chen?"

"Have something to eat."

Yuan Chen nodded.

The energy that was depleted by Chun-Li last night was fully restored by the old lady of magic this morning. But who would have thought that Wu Jialouluo's stimulation would cause it to deplete even more? Yuan Chen also felt that he needed to quickly replenish the protein he had lost.

“Let’s go eat together then,” Tong Ang said. “Chun Li, come along too. The two from the Wu clan are here as well, so we can chat about our upcoming trip to the Battle Realm.”

As he said this, Tong Ang rubbed his temples and said, "It was fine when we were in Hong Kong, but now that we're in a different place, the rules of the fighting world have changed accordingly, and I need to re-establish them."

"Uh-huh."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen and Chun Li nodded in understanding and then headed towards the restaurant.

Wu Jialouluo and Wu Fengshui had already arrived and were having a meal. Upon seeing Yuan Chen and Chunli arrive, Wu Jialouluo excitedly stood up, but instead of rushing over as before, he happily waved to Yuan Chen.

"Darling! Here! Here! I'm here!"

"Oh, oh, you're here." Upon hearing Wu Jialouluo's words, Yuan Chen nodded calmly.

Chunli, standing to the side, felt a strange mix of emotions, unsure whether it was because of Wu Jialouluo's excessive enthusiasm or because Yuan Chen hadn't reacted at all to the word "darling."

But then, when Yuan Chen came to Wu Jialouluo, he said, "Call me Yuan Chen, or A-Chen, it's too early, dear."

"I see, okay, Achen!" Wu Jialouluo nodded in understanding.

"Haha, hello." Wu Fengshui looked at Yuan Chen somewhat awkwardly.

In fact, when Wu Jialouluo suddenly stood up and shouted "Darling," Wu Fengshui was on edge, fearing that Wu Jialouluo's excessive excitement would lead to an embarrassing scene similar to the previous one.

However, it seems that Wu Jialouluo has calmed down considerably after realizing some things. Although he still possesses some divine qualities…

However, after glancing at Yuan Chen, who calmly agreed and offered corrections, Wu Fengshui realized that Yuan Chen and Wu Jialouluo might be surprisingly compatible in terms of divine beings, a perfect match of eccentric geniuses.

So, Yuan Chen sat down next to Wu Jialouluo and picked up his rice bowl, speaking slowly and deliberately:

“I can feel your determination, so come back when you’re ready. I will respond to your determination whenever it is.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jialouluo was also taken aback for a moment, then nodded with full fighting spirit and said with a determined look:

"I won't have to wait too long. I will get my body into a fertile state as soon as possible!"

"Ok."

Listening to the conversation between Wu Jialouluo and Yuan Chen, Shagat, Huoyin Dan, Huoyin Qiang and others who were eating nearby were stunned and even their chopsticks were suspended in mid-air.

What did we miss?

Volume 1: 45. Are you modern or classic?

"What...are you talking about?"

Huo Yindan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise his hand to ask a question.

Although Hibiki and Sagat didn't speak, their thoughts were probably similar, judging from their expressions.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen briefly described what had happened while eating.

Although many details have been omitted, Sagat and the others still showed indescribable shock upon hearing Yuan Chen's words.

After a long while, Sagat rubbed his temples and said, "I've heard of similar methods... but this is definitely the first time I've seen one."

Wu Jialouluo simply smiled at this, and then calmly said, "Outsiders may indeed not be able to understand the philosophy of our race, but that doesn't matter, because when I saw Achen again, I realized that Achen is different from others."

"This is a kind of 'qi' affinity, which has nothing to do with strength, potential, or even inherited factors, but rather with whether one can spiritually understand the philosophy of our race."
