Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

It's fair to say that compared to super fitness enthusiasts like Ayaka Uehara and Akemi Soryuin, the lifestyles of most ordinary girls are quite unhealthy...

"Anyway, let's give it a try first." Yuan Chen came to Sakura Hibiki's side and said, "I will guide the Qi in your body, and you can feel it slowly."

"Uh, but it sounds so difficult..." Hibiki Sakura said timidly.

It's clear that Hibiki Sakura has very little interest in fighting or anything like that.

This difference in 'intention' may also be the key reason why Hibiki Sakura did not get involved in martial arts.

Yuan Chen didn't want to force Sakura Hibiki to try things she didn't like. But after a little thought, Yuan Chen found a way to break through.

Then, a smile appeared on Yuan Chen's face as he looked at Sakura Hibiki and said, "Do you remember what I just said?"

"What did you say?" Sakura Hibiki shrank back.

"A single battle can consume 800 to 1500 calories."

Yuan Chen said with a smile, "Theoretically, if guided properly, a single punch could potentially burn off 500 calories?"

“One punch can destroy 500 calories…” Upon hearing this, Hibiki Sakura was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and stretched out her hand to start calculating.

"A sundae has 230 calories. You can happily eat two sundaes with one punch, plus a fruit and vegetable cup. Two punches can add a Big Mac, fries, and chicken wings, and even a fried noodle bun! Three punches can add a double-thick beef patty Big Mac, fries, chicken wings, two fried chicken legs, a serving of fried chicken wings, and a large cup of Coke..."

As she calculated, Hibiki Sakura's aura began to rise and grow. Then, not only her two ahoge (cowlicks) in her twin tails, but even her hair began to move without wind. Her entire style changed from a shoujo manga to Fist of the North Star.

Even as close friends, at that moment, Akemi Souin and Ayaka Uehara instinctively stepped back.

"This aura... sounds?!"

"That calculation isn't actually quite correct."

Seeing Sakura Hibiki's growing confidence, Genchen interrupted.

This caught the attention of Hibiki Sakura.

Just when Sakura Hibiki thought things might not be as good as she had imagined, Genji continued:

"Considering the body's daily metabolic needs, the stronger the physique, the higher the daily energy expenditure. In this case, combined with the energy expenditure from continuous exercise, under normal circumstances, you could probably eat twice as much of the delicious food you just mentioned without affecting your figure—well, to be precise, your figure will get better and better!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura Hibiki was struck dumb, standing there for a long time before collapsing to her knees in a distraught posture, just like Uehara Nana.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Chen was startled—could it be that she was overjoyed and had exceeded Sakura Hibiki's limit?

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen also moved closer and placed his hand on Sakura Hibiki's shoulder with a worried expression.

No sooner had the ball landed than Sakura Hibiki grabbed Genji's arm, her eyes filled with tears.

"Brother Chen, I want to learn martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen nodded and said, "Get up, let's begin."

"Oh!!!"

With a battle cry, Sakura Hibiki stood up, full of fighting spirit, her eyes brimming with excitement and anticipation.

"Wow... Brother Yuan Chen is really good at teaching people."

Standing nearby, Ayaka Uehara exclaimed in surprise, "Even Hibiki, that idiot, is getting all fired up..."

"Flesh pressure, that's the gravity generated by flesh pressure!" said Akane Souin, a proponent of the flesh pressure theory, with a face full of agreement:

"It seems that Hibiki also has an extremely strong talent for physical strength... Otherwise, he just hasn't awakened it before because he hasn't encountered someone with such a strong physical strength as Brother Yuanchen!"

"So what exactly is 'meat press'?!" Ayaka Uehara exclaimed helplessly.

Despite the banter, Yuan Chen on the other side had already begun assisting Sha Cang Xiang in sensing the flow of life energy within her body.

Because this was Sakura Hibiki's first time truly experiencing ki and life energy, Genchen directly guided her.

There is a difference between men and women. Yuan Chen's hands were pressing on Sha Cangxiang's stomach, moving in sequence towards her lower abdomen, waist, ribs, chest, back, and then towards her limbs.

Then, moving downwards, starting from the inner thighs, the Qi is guided little by little to circulate within the body. Through the activation of life energy, Hibiki Sakura can feel the physical changes that occur within her body as this energy rhythms.

Although it seemed somewhat romantic at first glance, no one minded because everyone could clearly feel that something was churning within Sakura Hibiki's body, guided by Yuan Chen.

"That's about it." After a moment, Yuan Chen nodded and said, "Following the lines I've drawn, try to unleash all the power you sense in one go."

Upon hearing this, Hibiki Sakura nodded. Although her demeanor seemed normal, her intense concentration revealed a seriousness and solemnity that was quite different from her usual self.

Upon reaching the sandbag, Hibiki Sakura jumped twice, her muscles twitching with each movement.

As Sakura Hibiki recalled the trajectory of Yuan Chen's hand across her body, after a brief silence, her face seemed to sink into darkness. In the instant she threw her punch, only her eye remained, like a pale point of light outlining the trajectory of a shooting star.

"drink!!!"

With an instinctive roar, Hibiki Sakura threw a punch. The heavy fist left an afterimage in the air. Before the fist even touched the sandbag, a strong force surged from his arm, like a vacuum hammer hitting the center of the sandbag.

Before anyone could react, the suspended sandbag was sent flying. The moment the cable snapped, the sandbag in mid-air twisted in a C-shape, the violent friction of the air producing a sharp noise, and the whole thing turned into a black afterimage as it crashed into the wall in the distance, creating a huge gash.

"Drink it!!!"

Hibiki Sakura instinctively let out a low growl once again. But this time, unlike before, Hibiki's voice was filled with a sense of catharsis, as if she was releasing something from her body.

Although it was only one punch, Hibiki Sakura's figure was visibly thinner, and sweat poured down her body like liquid.

At the same time, Yuan Chen immediately got up and stepped forward, injecting life energy to restore Sha Cangxiang's condition.

The onlookers stared blankly as the sandbag was blasted at least four meters away, then slammed into the wall, creating a hole in the wall...

Not to mention others, even Han Zhuli, who thought that Sakura Hibiki had good fighting talent, couldn't help but hold her breath.

You might have some talent, but how can it be this exaggerated?!

Lying in Yuan Chen's arms, exhausted, Sakura Hibiki could only gaze at Yuan Chen with longing on her face.

"Brother Yuan Chen... how many calories did my punch consume?"

“This punch has 700 calories!” Yuan Chen said sincerely. “Including dinner, you can eat a Big Mac, a medium fries, a spicy chicken wing, a Coke, and a crepe without any guilt.”

Upon hearing this, Hibiki Sakura's eyes lit up, but feeling the exhaustion throughout her body, she revealed a sad expression and said, "But Coach... fighting is too difficult, I think I... don't want to train anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen did not speak, but instead looked at Uehara Nana, who was staring in disbelief.

Upon noticing Yuan Chen's gaze, Uehara Nana almost instantly met his gaze.

That year at the Muay Thai World Tour, I saw champion Hoxha fight Joe Higashi, and he ultimately lost. I saw the champion sitting in his chair, sobbing uncontrollably…

At that moment, I thought that if I could become a professional boxer, I would definitely win everything. It's a shame I don't have that talent, but now someone with that talent is right in front of me, and I have to consider whether this might be my only chance in this lifetime.

As a gym owner and coach, Nana Uehara has a deep-seated hatred for junk food.

But now—it doesn't matter anymore!

He took out his phone, opened the "Ugly Group 1-on-1 Personal Delivery" app, and added a 100 RMB early delivery bonus. He quickly selected the package that Yuan Chen had just mentioned.

10. No, it will take less than seven minutes at most.

Accompanied by a roar: "Don't underestimate my delivery spirit just because I'm a crowdsourced delivery guy, you bastard!!!" the delivery guy in his workout clothes delivered the food at an astonishing speed, with a glass of iced cola.

The takeout was quickly delivered to Hibiki Sakura, and as soon as the first bite of the Big Mac went into her mouth, Hibiki Sakura's physical and mental state began to recover at an astonishing speed.

Especially after strenuous exercise, the deliciousness brought by this energy was amplified. With her mouth stuffed full like a hamster's, Hibiki Sakura burst into tears.

"Hey, Brother Yuanchen...we're going to train in martial arts for the rest of our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Uehara Nana was overjoyed: "I'll cover all your training expenses! Now, let's work hard towards the four major team championships!"

"Are they starting with a challenge target at the level of a Battle God?"

Hearing what the prisoner said, Ayaka Uehara rubbed her head helplessly, but after taking a closer look at the sandbag that had been blasted away, she nodded and said, "Okay, this is indeed a very down-to-earth goal."

Meanwhile, Han Zhuli came to Yuan Chen's side and said, "Teach me."

“…Huh?” Yuan Chen was taken aback, as if he hadn’t heard clearly.

Han Zhuli didn't waste any words and directly grabbed Yuan Chen's hand and placed it on her stomach: "Just like before, touch it, and then your strength will increase by leaps and bounds!"

With a look of resentment, watching as Sakura Hibiki, who had no martial arts background, was able to unleash such a stunning attack, Han Zhuli gritted her teeth in envy:

"I have things I need to do too! Since you have this ability, then give me some serious guidance! Whether it's tactical, technical, or even hypnotic guidance, no problem! I can do it all!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 100 - Han Zhuli's Restless Moment

"Wow, you blurted out some pretty explosive stuff in your daze. I feel like Kim Jong-un is already on his way to kill me."

Yuan Chen shook his head with a sigh, then explained slowly, "Calm down. Rather than saying this is Xiang's power, it's more accurate to say it's Xiang's talent—or rather, a talent that hasn't yet been realized."

"...What do you mean?" Han Zhuli looked at Yuan Chen with some suspicion.

"Simply put, Xiang's punch just now was largely a trick. In essence, it was a way of using the life therapy I have mastered to blast out the life energy in his body."

Yuan Chen shook his head, saying with a hint of helplessness:

"To put it another way, 1 kilocalorie equals 4184 joules. If 700 kilocalories are converted into pure energy and then punched out, the destructive force produced is basically equivalent to 700 grams of TNT. Even if you could throw it out, a person's shoulder and even their body would be shaken into a subatomic state within one second... No matter how you look at it, it's not something that I or Xiang can do right now."

"So that punch just now was essentially a special product of excessive combustion, combined with Hibiki's special physique and my special ability, and it has no reference value whatsoever."

After saying that, Yuan Chen paused and added, "However, simply strengthening through training is still no problem; I'm very confident about that."

For Yuan Chen, the most important ability of life energy is not actually life healing... well, life healing, blood deficiency treatment is indeed very important, as is life cuisine brought about by the conversion of life energy, which are all means by which Yuan Chen relies for survival.

But these abilities are like active skills in a game; if you ask them if they are important, then of course they are extremely important.

But in Yuan Chen's view, the most important thing is the life energy that he receives, which allows him to perceive himself and the physiological state of others who ingest life energy in detail.

Especially when he is completely cooperative with himself or the other party, Yuan Chen can even perceive the state of every muscle fiber.

In a game, this enhanced perception would be considered a passive skill.

Anyone who has played games should understand the importance of passive skills for a controllable character, a hero—because they are effective for a long time, it is no exaggeration to say that they are the absolute core that determines the character's development direction.

For example, it's hard to imagine what strengths Vayne would have worth emphasizing after losing her three rings...

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Han Zhuli nodded thoughtfully. Then, she asked curiously, "Xiang's special physique?"

Not only Han Zhuli, but also Zhu Mei and the others from Zou Liuyuan turned their gazes toward Yuan Chen after hearing his words.

"It's a kind of manipulation of the body's energy," Yuan Chen said. "It allows you to maximize your power when you are focused."

"It doesn't sound like anything special..." Upon hearing this, Akemi Souin, who was standing to the side, also tilted her head curiously.

“Yes, it sounds so ordinary…” Looking at the large hole in the wall next to her, Ayaka Uehara’s face was full of emotion.

At least, Ayaka Uehara could honestly say that even if she risked her life, she couldn't deliver such a blow.

And now?

The person who delivered that blow is sitting to the side, enjoying the pleasure of carefree food with a joyful expression.

"Take it slow. I'll give you some special training when I have the chance in the future." Yuan Chen put his hand on Han Zhuli's shoulder and said, "But I've already made an appointment with Zhuli for today."

"Oh, okay, then we won't bother you any longer."

Hearing that Yuan Chen and Zhu Li were about to take care of important business, the three little ones, Huang Ying, did not disturb them any further.

Or rather, Akemi Souin and Ayaka Uehara didn't disturb her too much. Instead, they excitedly returned to Hibiki Sakura's side and curiously touched her, clearly very curious about how Hibiki had managed to throw that punch.

Upon entering the private room, Yuan Chen and Han Zhuli had already changed their clothes. Yuan Chen's clothes were nothing special; they were a very traditional martial arts uniform. In the game, they would definitely look like a classic 'Taoist uniform' character, emphasizing well-rounded skills, steady and reliable moves, and testing the user's basic skills.

But in reality, it's a dung monster.

Although Han Zhuli had changed her clothes, she still sported those wicked croissant-shaped shoes, a wisp of bright pink highlight hanging down her cheek, and sharp, unrestrained eyes and brows.

She wore a simple beige and fuchsia short-sleeved shirt, with special fabric resembling sports tape covering her chest and forearms. However, this only covered her chest, leaving her well-defined abdomen exposed, allowing one to clearly feel her solid vitality.

Wearing long trousers with a wide waistband that accentuated Han Zhuli's exceptionally tall figure, the purple wide-leg trousers were split in the middle for easier kicking, revealing the tight-fitting fighting suit underneath.

Seeing this familiar outfit, Yuan Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask, "I remember you were wearing dirty sportswear and a martial arts uniform, weren't you? How come it looks like... you've brought out all your hidden gear?"

"Of course, this is a custom-made fighting suit!"

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Han Zhuli snorted and said, "I originally planned to use it when I was seeking revenge... but thinking about it, it's a bit unrealistic, so I might as well use it to broaden your horizons."

As she said this, a look of eager anticipation appeared on Han Zhuli's face. She raised a foot, and pale battle qi clung to it like a sharp blade.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm going all out right now. If you don't show some real skill, you won't win so easily!"

A few minutes later—

"Ugh!"
