Jiangshan Imperial View, Villa No. 168.
After unlocking with the fingerprint, Ye Qingzhou led Xu Yuebing into the house.
"I've been meaning to ask, are you the only one living here? What about your parents?"
"My dad went missing in the Kunlun Grotto Heaven; his life and death are currently unknown. As for my mom, she remarried, and she should be quite happy now, right? After all, getting remarried and entering a wealthy family isn't easy."
Ye Qingzhou talked about the original owner's situation without any emotional ripples in his heart, as he is himself, and the original owner is the original owner.
But in Xu Yuebing's eyes, it was different. Upon learning about Ye Qingzhou's tragic background, she suddenly felt that the annoying person before her was actually quite pitiable.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story."
Xu Yuebing's eyes were full of apology, and she couldn't help but think: 'No wonder Ye Qingzhou has a strange personality and is so self-serving; turns out he has no support now. The usual arrogance and conceit must be to cover up the loneliness and solitude in his heart. Ah, since you're so miserable, I won't hold onto past grudges...'
Although usually having a cold demeanor, Xu Yuebing's heart was still soft, and at this moment, when looking at Ye Qingzhou, there were more sympathy and tolerance in her gaze than before.
"Wait, what's with that look?"
"Nothing."
Xu Yuebing smiled gently; she had already decided to forgive Ye Qingzhou's previous rudeness.
Unfortunately, Ye Qingzhou didn't appreciate it. He shook his head and sighed at Xu Yuebing: "Could it be that you're pitying me? You, an ordinary mediocre talent, actually want to sympathize with me, a peerless talent of extraordinary grace and grandeur? Who gave you the courage? I advise you to calm down and work hard in practice, or else in a few years you won't even qualify to look at my back."
"You annoying guy!"
The "grudge" Xu Yuebing had barely put down suddenly surged up again, accompanied by her rising anger in no time.
To hell with forgiveness!
The person in front of her absolutely wasn't annoying just because of life's major upheavals; he was born a detestable person who could anger you to death without paying for it!
If I pity him anymore, I'm a dog!
Seeing Xu Yuebing regain her former fighting spirit, Ye Qingzhou nodded satisfactorily: "Not bad, you need this kind of undefeated spirit if you want to go further in Martial Dao."
"Cut the crap and hurry up teaching me how to defeat Leon!"
Xu Yuebing urged angrily; her charming cheeks puffed with anger, though speaking rude words, she looked utterly adorable.
Ye Qingzhou maintained his consistent good practice of doing business for money, and soon tailored a set of tactical strategies against Leon for Xu Yuebing.
"In the 'Six Military Techniques,' Leon is most adept at the Thunderous Technique."
"I know this. Jiujiang Lei Clan initially comprehended the Five Thunders Seal from the Divine Skill 'Five Thunders True Method' of Three Pure Ones Mountain, then combined it with Three Pure Ones Mountain's Inner Cultivation Secret Technique 'Fishing Toad Skill.' Leon's mastery of the Thunder-Swallowing Secret Technique has reached an advanced level; his strength is probably not much weaker than Miao Yi from the Miao Blade Club."
Since losing to Leon last time, Xu Yuebing clearly gathered plenty of information and did her homework thoroughly.
Three Pure Ones Mountain's 'Five Thunders True Method' and 'Fishing Toad Skill,' Jiujiang Lei Clan's Five Thunders Seal, all evidently evolved from the Thunderous Technique in the 'Six Military Techniques.'
And the characteristic of Thunderous Technique is its extremely strong explosiveness!
Among the Six Military Techniques, Fire Technique and Thunderous Technique greatly emphasize explosive moves; however, Fire Technique's burst manifests as muscular strength, while Thunderous Technique maximizes the activation of Inner Breath, making the moves become forceful and domineering, unstoppable.
So Leon's most adept tactic is to suppress opponents with extreme explosiveness, defeating enemies with a swift and unstoppable stance.
Xu Yuebing and Lu Yifan lost so miserably because they couldn't withstand Leon's explosive round and appeared helpless.
Actually, the gap between them is not so large that can't be compensated with skill.
In his previous life, Ye Qingzhou battled countless masters and eventually honed nearly perfect swordsmanship through practice, so Leon seemed full of flaws in his eyes.
"To defeat Leon, the best way is to use slow against fast, and attack the weak points."
"Use slow against fast, attack the weak points?"
Xu Yuebing looked bewildered, clearly not understanding Ye Qingzhou's meaning: "I understand the concept of attacking the weak points, but why use slow against fast?"
"Because..."
Then, Ye Qingzhou began seriously explaining to Xu Yuebing why the strategy should be arranged like this.
After listening to Ye Qingzhou's explanation, Xu Yuebing's previously perplexed face quickly showed an expression of joy and surprise, nodding repeatedly as her eyes turned confident.
Three days later, a new round of seat battles started again.
Leon, who failed last time in boasting, returned this time with confidence in victory, vowing to avenge his humiliation, defeat Ye Qingzhou, ascend the chief seat of the Swordsmanship Club, and declare his king's return to the entire Linjiang First High School.
Meanwhile, Lu Yifan, who dropped to the third seat, and Zheng Zigang, who fell to fourth from the second seat, also excitedly prepared as they had healed their injuries and were confident after rebuilding.
The other members of the Swordsmanship Club looked forward to this seat battle eagerly. Will Leon successfully avenge, or will Lu Yifan and Zheng Zigang return to the peak?
It's been so long since such intense battles!
"Why hasn't Beauty Xu arrived yet?"
"Ye Qingzhou isn't here either."
"Wow, I've heard they've been going home together these days and it's to Ye Qingzhou's place. Could it be..."
"No way, my goddess can't be so casual!"
"Beauty Xu is pure and clean; surely she's been deceived by Ye Qingzhou's glib talk, how hateful!"
Just as people were murmuring, Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing arrived together. In these days, to increase Xu Yuebing's chance of winning, Ye Qingzhou, for money's sake, violated his principles and worked overtime, providing her with three nights of crash training.
Now, it's time to test the results.
Xu Yuebing was full of confidence; she couldn't wait to showcase the learning achievements of Ye Qingzhou's crash training.
Even more impatient than she was Leon.
"Ye Qingzhou, you finally came."
Leon's eyes emitted fierce battle intent, like two blazing flames: "Today, let your defeat announce the coronation of the new king."
With the voice falling, Leon leapt up, standing proudly in the Martial Arts Arena with his sword, beckoning to Ye Qingzhou: "Come fight!"
This time, he swore not to hold back, not to be arrogant, but to challenge with full strength, letting everyone know that he, Leon, is the first, the strongest.
Ye Qingzhou yawned lazily and said nonchalantly: "No rush; if you want to fight me, win against her first."
Then Ye Qingzhou's gaze fell on Xu Yuebing: "It's your turn to shine, win beautifully."
Xu Yuebing responded with a look of disdain at Ye Qingzhou, without saying a word, she stepped forward with her sword, walking elegantly into the Martial Arts Arena.
