With the previous lesson in mind, once little Zero transformed into Demon Zero, she no longer wore her previous attire. Instead, she was dressed in normal clothes. And in her hand, a familiar hammer appeared.

Chen Xing was a bit puzzled and instinctively protected his head.

Seeing his reaction, Zero giggled, “Why are you so timid? Haha…”

Chen Xing couldn’t help but find his own reflexive response amusing and asked, “What are you going to do with that?”

“Hehe~ This is my weapon! I’m going to hammer you to death!” Saying that, Zero pretended to swing the hammer and put on a fierce expression.

Chen Xing smiled and extended his hand to intercept ther attack.

“Bang!”

The hammer struck Chen Xing’s hand and burst open with a loud sound. Cotton inside the hammer exploded like goose feathers, scattering from the sky.

Chen Xing stared blankly at the cracked hammer in Zero’s hand.

???

Although his hand didn’t hurt much, he was still shocked. Did she really inherit 80% of his strength? Did her power suddenly become so strong?

Even though Zero’s demon blood purity was currently only 10%, she possessed a combat power equivalent to tens of thousands! It was comparable to the strength of a B-rank Spirit Master in this world! It was her first time using this power, so she didn’t know how to control it.

Zero was also at a loss and quickly crawled over to Chen Xing’s side. She looked at him helplessly and asked, “Are you okay, Chen Xing?”

Chen Xing shook his head, and there was even a hint of joy on his face. Zero’s significant increase in strength meant that there were very few B-rank Spirit Masters who could defeat her. He no longer had to worry about her being bullied!

“Let’s train!” he said.

“Um… my hammer…” Zero was still immersed in the pain of losing her weapon.

Chen Xing couldn’t help but laugh and said, “I’ll buy you an identical one later.”

“Sob… Okay!” Zero reluctantly collected her pitiful weapon.

The two of them stood in the middle of the living room. Little Zero raised her arms and assumed a fighting stance, looking determined yet incredibly cute. It made Chen Xing laugh involuntarily. “Charge at me with all your strength and throw a punch. I want to see how strong you are now.”

“Um… really?” Zero hesitated. She was afraid that a full-force punch might hurt Chen Xing. She didn’t know the extent of her current strength.

“Come on! Trust me, give it your all!” Chen Xing encouraged her, becoming serious himself.

“Then here I go!” Zero’s expression also became resolute. In the next moment, with a light push from her feet, she flew towards Chen Xing at an incredible speed. Before reaching him, her little fist was already fully charged, swiftly smashing towards him.

Chen Xing’s heart skipped a beat. The opening in this strike was even smaller than those A-rank Spirit Masters he encountered earlier in the afternoon. Immediately, he instinctively extended his hand to meet the attack.

“Bang!” He firmly caught Zero’s little fist.

Chen Xing looked at her in surprise and asked, “Where did you learn this punch?”

“Um… from you!” Zero replied.

“From me?”

Chen Xing thought for a moment, realizing that he had never taught her that technique.

“Yes! Didn’t you say this afternoon that if the attack speed is slow, the attack trajectory should cover all the vital points? And also, when launching an attack, the movements should be as minimal as possible.”

Chen Xing was astonished and said, “Did you really learn it like that?”

“Well, yeah. What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?” Little Zero asked innocently.

Chen Xing shook his head and was about to speak, but San’er interrupted:

【You’re a genius!】

“Um… me?”

Chen Xing nodded, “Yes, you’re a genius!”

【Maybe even more talented than Chen Xing!】

Chen Xing wholeheartedly agreed with a nod. After all, it was the first time little Zero had thrown a punch in her life!

“No, Chen Xing is the most amazing! Hmph!”

【Uh, I’ll keep quiet then!】

Chen Xing sighed helplessly, “Your speed, strength, and technique are all excellent! You’re very strong!”

“Hehe!” Zero happily withdrew her fist upon hearing his praise. “Teach me more!”

Chen Xing nodded and said, “Try to catch or block my punches, then observe my attack trajectory. Remember my movements and imitate them. We’ll exchange punches, one each.”

“Okay!”

And so, they began their training, taking turns to attack and defend, dismantling each other’s moves and exchanging roles.

At first, Chen Xing’s punch speed was slow, very slow… Zero also gradually blocked Chen Xing’s attacks. Their movements resembled Tai Chi, extremely slow and deliberate.

Under their focused training, time passed quickly.

Several hours flew by in no time. It was now evening.

The peaceful Tai Chi-like atmosphere suddenly changed!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

The sound of fists colliding fiercely echoed through the house.

San’er was left speechless and shocked! He couldn’t understand how two people who had been practicing Tai Chi all afternoon suddenly turned into this.

At this moment, Chen Xing and Zero were fiercely exchanging punches and countering each other’s moves. Their speed was extremely fast. Within a second, Chen Xing would throw at least three punches.

But they were all blocked by little Zero!

Although Chen Xing wasn’t using his full strength, it was…

【Unbelievable!】

Chen Xing also found it unbelievable!

Zero’s talent was astonishingly high. Her comprehension was extraordinary. She could match him!

The more Chen Xing trained with her, the more amazed he became. He couldn’t help but admire her rare talent of perception.

In the afternoon, he intentionally slowed down his movements to show Zero his attack trajectory. Now she had learned 50% of it and every strike carried traces of Chen Xing’s style. Her punching technique and aura were very similar to his.

“It’s your turn to attack! Use your full strength, deliver ten punches as fast as you can!” Chen Xing threw three punches while saying this.

“Okay!”

In the next moment, Chen Xing raised one hand behind his back and lifted the other hand, holding it in front of him. “Bring it on!”

Upon seeing this, Zero clenched her teeth and instantly unleashed all her power. She was no longer afraid of accidentally hurting him. Because she realized that she didn’t have the strength to seriously harm a battle ready Chen Xing. She didn’t need to hold back her power anymore.

Her first punch was full of momentum and extremely fast. Directly aiming at him!

Chen Xing admired her in his heart. Even with this strike, there were very few openings on his body. The attack path had been minimized while still covering the vital points. Moreover, the attack was elusive, making it impossible to guess where it would strike.

These were all things he taught her in the afternoon, and Zero had already learned them!

However, with a casual sweep of his hand in front of him, Chen Xing easily brushed Zero’s hand aside. The attack path instantly changed, and the power dissipated.

Zero was somewhat surprised, but in the next second, another punch was already on its way! Chen Xing once again casually brushed it aside, diverting her fist.

Zero gritted her teeth. Using both fists, she unleashed the remaining eight punches with the fastest speed!

However, from beginning to end, Chen Xing effortlessly neutralized all of her attacks. Little Zero stood there, feeling a bit bewildered. “Um…”

“What’s wrong?” Chen Xing had a smile on his face.

“I’m so bad at this…”

“Hahaha…” Chen Xing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Whoosh~”

A white light flashed, and Zero returned to her original form. Pouting her small mouth, she looked somewhat disappointed.

Chen Xing walked over and gently rubbed her small head. “You’re already very impressive! No one could have learned as quickly as you!”

“Um… really?”

“Really.”

Upon hearing this, the gloom on Zero’s face disappeared, and she smiled. “Hehe~ I’ll study hard! I’ll be able to protect you soon!”

“Good!”

Zero’s fast progress was a pleasant surprise for Chen Xing. This way, she would be able to protect herself better. However, how to teach Zero was a problem since Chen Xing was a first-time mentor.

Just as he was contemplating,

“Um… there’s a mosquito… sob sob…” She raised her little hand, looking pitiful.

“It bit my hand! It’s so itchy!” As she said that, she scratched her hand with her other hand, causing the skin to turn red.

For someone as fair-skinned as Little Zero, a gentle scratch would leave a red mark! Chen Xing felt very distressed. He grabbed her little hand and gently blew on it. “Hoo~ Hoo~”

“Hehe… it tickles!”

Chen Xing chuckled softly, blew on it a couple more times, and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t scratch it for now. Wait a moment for me.”

“Okay!”

“Open the online shopping module.”

He bought a bunch of herbs and a few tools. Then he quickly ground the herbs.

The whole process took less than a minute. After all, he was proficient in medical skills.

He used his fingers to scoop out a bit and gently applied it to the area where Zero was bitten, saying in a soft voice, “Applying this will make it better soon.”

As the cool herbal medicine was applied, Zero immediately felt the itchiness disappear. “Um… it really works! You’re amazing!”

Admiration filled little Zero’s eyes once again. Chen Xing had given her so many surprises. He truly was capable of anything!

Chen Xing smiled softly and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll help you seek revenge!”

“Great~ hehe!”

In the moment he stood up, Chen Xing’s expression turned serious. “Let me see which mosquito doesn’t know its own limits!”
