What is “face”? Strength is the true path to greatness! When there’s a chance to become stronger, any smart person wouldn’t let it slip away!

That’s why Chen Chi put on a thick-skinned face and approached Zero. He took out a bottle of perfume from his spirit system. It was a new purchase for his girlfriend.

His spirit user is his girlfriend. He directly gave it to Zero as a gift!

“Um… This is a Perodna perfume, worth 10,000 crystal coins! It’s a token of my respect for our first meeting! I also hope that Master Chen can spare some time after class to guide me again!”

Xue Bufu: ??? Is it appropriate for them to do this in front of me?

“Um… I can’t accept this!” Zero helplessly looked at Chen Xing.

At this moment, Chen Xing was busy teaching Wu Mingxi and didn’t notice what was happening here.

Although the others hadn’t experienced Chen Xing’s techniques yet, they all gathered around Zero, unwilling to let Chen Chi monopolize this opportunity. Although they were classmates, they were also competitors. They couldn’t let him become stronger alone.

So they all crowded around Zero:

“Hey… I also have something good! Please accept it!”

“I have a treasure… Could you take a look?”

Seeing this, Yun Xinghai immediately stood in front of Zero, holding the gift in his hand.

“No bribes allowed!” He said it confidently and assertively.

Glancing at the gift box in his hand, Gu Meow Meow helplessly said: “Can you put this away first before saying that, meow?”

With Yun Xinghai around, no one dared to harass Zero anymore. After all, it was a bit awkward. Giving gifts in a group was one thing, but secretly giving them was the way to go.

But Yun Xinghai himself was really difficult to deal with!

“Master’s wife, please accept it!”

“Master’s wife!”

“Master’s wife, please, I beg you!”

“Master’s wife! This is a special local product I brought specifically for you!”

He was shamelessly using cuteness and coquetry to the extreme.

Gu Meow Meow couldn’t stand it anymore: What happened to your principles, meow?

Each time they called her “Master’s wife,” Zero felt so happy in her heart. Several times she almost reached out to take the gifts! Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself in the end.

Every time, Chen Xing would end the fight with a single strike and follow it with a short evaluation. Although it was concise, it hit the weak points directly. Everyone benefited greatly from it.

Soon, he had defeated everyone in a round!

Then he stepped down from the stage. As soon as the others saw him step down, they quickly surrounded him.

“Master Chen, I still have some doubts about what you just said. Could you clarify it for me?”

“Master Chen…”

“Master Chen!”

They completely ignored Xue Bufu.

Chen Xing frowned, looking helpless. He didn’t respond to them and simply pushed them aside without any courtesy. He walked straight toward Zero. Those people continued to follow along, constantly talking.

“Chen Xing~ Hehe~” Zero happily tiptoed a bit.

After seeing her smile, Chen Xing’s furrowed brow finally relaxed.

“Um…” He lifted Zero up in his arms.

Seeing this, Yun Xinghai also spread out his hands. “Meow Meow, come up quickly!”

“No meowing!”

Meanwhile, the people surrounding Chen Xing had already run out of things to say. Their minds were filled with the desire for him to provide them with careful guidance.

Helplessly, Chen Xing looked at them while holding Zero and said: “That’s it for today. We’ll discuss it in the next class.”

After speaking, he walked out of the classroom with Zero in his arms.

Next time?

There definitely won’t be a next time!

Chen Xing finally understood. Xue Bufu was just using him as a tool. He would block him once he returned.

He would settle things when they entered the Forbidden Zone!

“Master, wait for me!” With that said, Yun Xinghai quickly caught up.

The others who were left in the classroom felt extremely unsatisfied. Finally, the crowd noticed Xue Bufu standing awkwardly on the platform.

Xue Bufu: Finally, someone noticed me…

Chen Chi took the lead and said: “Teacher Xue! I just learned a few moves! Let’s practice again? Let me beat… uh, try it out!”

“Teacher Xue! Me too!”

“Teacher Xue! I want to! I want to!”

Xue Bufu: ???

…

A panel suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xing:

【 Congratulations, host! Master Points reached 100, unlocking the achievement: Bronze-level Master. Rewards: Spirit Points: 1 million, Crystal Coins: 2 million 】

【 Master Points can be exchanged for Spirit Points and Crystal Coins. 1 Master Point = 10 Spirit Points = 100 Crystal Coins. Achievement can be upgraded!】

“This… doesn’t seem very useful.” He said this to San’er.

【 No, no, no, you fool!】

【 Haven’t you noticed that martial arts are not widely spread in this world? 】

【 This world values the skills of Spirit Masters and attribute amplification. That’s how the overall environment is, so the martial arts skills of Spirit Masters in this world are generally lacking. 】

【 If you casually write a book teaching basic martial arts like Iron Sand Palm, Pouring Palm, or Inch Fist, they would become popular. 】

【By then, won’t the value of Master Points skyrocket?】

“That makes sense…” Chen Xing nodded and began to contemplate when he would have time to write a martial arts manual.

“Master!” Yun Xinghai suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.

“Hmm?” Chen Xing instinctively turned his head to look at him.

“Oh yeah! Master is willing to take me as a disciple!”

Chen Xing: ???

Gu Meow Meow: ???

“When did…?” Chen Xing hadn’t finished speaking when Yun Xinghai interrupted him: “Master, could you also teach me something else? I’ve almost mastered what you taught me last time!”

Chen Xing immediately felt helpless. He knew he shouldn’t have taught him!

Without even looking at him, Chen Xing said directly: “Keep practicing! You still have a long way to go. Go home and practice for some more time, then come find me again!”

“Yes, Master!” After saying that, Yun Xinghai stopped in his tracks and looked at Chen Xing with admiration on his face. “Master is truly a master! Without even releasing my killing intent, you know that I still have a long way to go!”

Gu Meow Meow looked at him with a strange expression on her face. “It seems like he just brushed you off, right meow!?”

Ignoring her, Yun Xinghai opened his hands and said: “Meow Meow, come on up!”

“I won’t, meow!”

“Why not!? This will make us stronger!”

Blushing, Gu Meow Meow shook her head frantically. “I won’t, meeoww!” She had some doubts in her heart. Was Yun Xinghai serious?

Suddenly, Yun Xinghai had an epiphany. “Oh! I get it! You’re imitating Master’s wife!”

“Meow!?”

“Every time, Master’s wife shakes her head, but he always forcefully carries her!”

“Meeowww!?”

“I see. It was my misunderstanding, Meow Meow! Or maybe you thought it through! You’re truly amazing! My good partner…”

???

After saying that, Yun Xinghai pounced on Meow Meow and lifted her up in his arms!

Gu Meow Meow stayed in his embrace, her face flushed, and her two long pink braids naturally hanging down.

“What kind of magical thought process do you have, meow!?”

…

Inside the Kyoto Traffic Management Department.

Tian Yuxin watched the recordings of Chen Xing’s reckless driving over and over again. The recordings also captured his face at certain moments. But they were all pixelated!

Suddenly, she noticed something strange. The person in the driver’s seat was constantly turning their head multiple times per minute. He was looking at the person sitting in the passenger seat. How dare he not look at the road while driving at such high speeds!

It was simply outrageous. The more she watched, the more suspicious she became!

“Who are these two!?”

“Is there such a skilled expert in Kyoto, or are they a couple? How come I have no recollection!?”

Little did she know, these two didn’t even have driver’s licenses and were driving without them…

…

At Chen Xing’s home…

“Chen Xing, teach me a couple of moves, please!” Little Zero excitedly stood on the sofa, barefoot, bouncing up and down. She lightly waved her small pink fists.

Seeing her like that, Chen Xing smiled and said, “You don’t need to learn. As long as I’m here to protect you.”

“No! I want to learn too! I want to learn…” Zero sat down next to Chen Xing, grabbed his arm, and gently shook it. With big watery eyes wide open, she blinked at him.

“Cough…”

It’s a foul to be so cute!

Chen Xing thought for a moment. In Zero’s demon form, she could inherit 80% of his strength, which was quite extraordinary! However, she indeed had no knowledge of combat skills. Teaching her could be beneficial. Who knows, she might need it one day!

He gently patted her little head and said, “Alright, then transform into your spirit form first.”

“Okay~”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a white light flashed, and Zero’s demon form appeared again, making hearts race and faces blush.
