Xu Lan's feet firmly on the ground, she channeled force to her waist, and then her shoulders flicked and shook, transferring force to a move called Wild Horse Parts Its Mane, simultaneously sending both Hee Wenjie and Ye Qingzhou flying several meters away.
The two were quick to react, dissipating the force upon landing, thus preventing a clumsy fall.
After regaining their balance, Ye Qingzhou steadied his footing and focused on Xu Lan's body. The graceful curves of her delicate figure made his eyes shine, wishing his gaze could penetrate her clothes, revealing her completely.
Compared to Sha Lixin's imposingly strong yet lifeless aura, Xu Lan's body was full of vitality whether it was in breathing or muscle exertion, orderly and vigorous. Her recent move concealed an exquisite martial arts technique.
If possible, Ye Qingzhou would love to explore Xu Lan's entire body through touch, delving into the mysteries of Blue Star's martial arts.
Xu Lan successfully stopped the two from dueling. She then shot them a stern glance and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just a simple sparring session."
Hee Wenjie glanced at Xu Lan, lying right in front of her, unfazed.
Ye Qingzhou relaxed his body, nonchalantly saying, "Senior Brother Hee asked for my guidance in fist technique, to point out his shortcomings in cultivation. Though he didn't pay me, his sincerity wasn't great, but I am after all someone who enjoys helping others, so I reluctantly agreed to his request."
Xu Lan's eye twitched as she listened, knowing full well both Hee Wenjie and Ye Qingzhou were trying to fool her.
Today's students are indeed harder and harder to discipline!
Recently, the youth in Dongji Kingdom are filled with vigor, making private dueling incidents hard to stop.
Luckily she arrived in time today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"First High School prohibits private duels. If you want to fight, apply for a ring battle at the school's Fighting Center, understood?"
With that, Xu Lan looked specifically at Hee Wenjie.
Knowing he can't reclaim today's honor, Hee Wenjie put away his stance, nodded expressionlessly to Xu Lan, "Yes, I'll be more careful next time."
He then glanced over at Ye Qingzhou, not uttering another word, and left directly.
Ye Qingzhou shrugged, planning to head home.
But as soon as he turned around, Xu Lan called out, "Ye Qingzhou, wait a moment."
"???"
Ye Qingzhou stopped, his mind filled with question marks.
Xu Lan walked up to him gracefully, her bright eyes seemingly carrying an unexpected delight.
She then went ahead and laid hands on Ye Qingzhou, touching his arms, shoulders, chest, and back thoroughly and vigorously, her excitement growing: "Excellent physique, smooth Qi and blood, I can't believe you are actually a hidden gem from nine years of compulsory education!"
This martial genius went undiscovered during compulsory education, such good fortune for her to find him now, Xu Lan was joyful beyond measure.
"Teacher, don't touch randomly."
Ye Qingzhou felt uncomfortable being touched all over, as no one likes their secrets being revealed.
The excellent physique and smooth Qi and blood are not innate but achieved this morning by Ye Qingzhou when he practiced his fists, using his previous life's Gang Force cultivation to tame the spine's dragon and subdue his body's Qi and blood tiger, stepping into the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing realm again.
Xu Lan smiled slightly, mistaking Ye Qingzhou's thin skin, teasing him: "What, you know how to be shy?"
"If there's nothing else, Teacher, I'll be leaving."
"Wait, I came specifically to find you."
"Find me?"
Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled, "Didn't we clear up the matter with Hee Weifang? Or we can check the cafeteria's surveillance, and don't tell me it happened to be broken today..."
"You scoundrel, what nonsense are you imagining?"
Xu Lan rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou, "Even if Hee Weifang were beaten to death by you, it has nothing to do with me. I'm here for something else."
She finally stated her purpose: "Ye Qingzhou, I want to invite you to join the Swordsmanship Club at First High School."
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
"You want to learn the other five techniques of the Six Military Techniques, don't you? Join the Swordsmanship Club and I'll teach you in advance. Moreover, First High's Swordsmanship Club receives special funds from the school. Achieving a top-five position allows you to enjoy free 'Martial Meals,' greatly benefiting cultivation foundation."
"Stop, enough."
At this moment, Ye Qingzhou, with resolute eyes and sincere attitude: "Since Teacher Xu cordially invites me, I cannot decline. In fact, I hope to join the school's Swordsmanship Club, use this new platform to thoroughly reflect on my previous learnings, and seek differences in stock and increment across multiple dimensions with contemporary individuals, leveraging my deeply cherished resource uniqueness to accelerate breakthroughs over existing technical barriers, grasping the precious opportunity the era has bestowed upon asset-light individuals..."
"Stop!"
Xu Lan felt her head spinning. She understood every word Ye Qingzhou said, but combined together, they sounded like brainwashing demonic sound, leaving her mind rattled.
"Speak human language!"
"Ahem, what I mean is, I'm eager to improve, so whatever benefits Teacher Xu offers, please lay them out first."
Ye Qingzhou grinned, choosing to speak honestly.
Looking at the student in front of her who seemed nothing like a student, Xu Lan asked with a strange expression: "Don't you want to know what I'll have you do?"
Ye Qingzhou replied calmly: "Teacher Xu, you won't ask me to commit murder and arson, right?"
Xu Lan chuckled, her eyes unusually gentle: "You rascal know criminal acts shouldn't be done, right?"
"Not really, but illegal jobs have to pay extra."
"..."
Xu Lan suddenly regretted, the outstandingly gifted genius before her was mentally dubious.
Nonetheless, she had no other choice. She came specially to invite Ye Qingzhou to join the Swordsmanship Club because starting this year, First High's club is under her leadership.
If she can lead it to good results in two years, it will be greatly favorable for her.
Initially, the swordsmanship talent she eyed was her cousin Xu Yuebing, given that the Xu family is renowned in Linjiang as a long-established martial arts family, having produced three prominent martial arts masters; naturally, the family's excellent offspring received careful nurturing from early on.
They not only invited martial arts masters for one-on-one teaching but also benefited from invaluable Martial Meals, fortifying their talents far more than peers.
However, upon witnessing Ye Qingzhou use a sword point to defeat Hee Weifang, she was deeply impressed by his displayed talent.
In her eyes, Ye Qingzhou's swordsmanship was flawless like a pristine jade, though not powerful, its operation was seamless, even she couldn't find apparent flaws.
In other words, if her cultivation foundation was identical to Ye Qingzhou's, she admitted not being able to match him.
To break Ye Qingzhou's sword techniques, Xu Lan believed, only one force can conquer ten associations.
She was very thrilled now, not expecting that returning to her hometown to teach would allow her to easily find such a raw talent with untapped potential!
