Chapter 12

Shui Lianqing's mood was terrible; she had never seen such a shameless boy before.

Since entering Nanying Academy, Shui Lianqing had no shortage of admirers. However, with the presence of Qian Lin and Qian Li, the two brothers, not many boys dared to be too proactive. This conveniently saved Shui Lianqing a lot of trouble. Her goal was to become an outstanding warrior, and she did not want to be distracted by other matters. She always kept a distance from boys.

She had seen boys who were persistent, and Qian Lin was a typical example, always finding excuses to get close to her. However, even Qian Lin was polite and maintained a certain level of decorum. Sun Yan, on the other hand, was completely different.

His eyes were half-closed, but his gaze was constantly roving over her body, from the moment they started practicing. If it were another girl, she might not have noticed, but Shui Lianqing, the student with the highest martial arts cultivation in Class C-69, and who practiced the unique technique "Weak Water Decree," had an especially keen perception of the outside world. How could Sun Yan's gaze escape her notice?

Every time that lecherous gaze swept over her neck, chest, waist, hips, and legs, Shui Lianqing felt goosebumps all over her body. She had heard about Sun Yan's bad reputation before, but she never imagined he could be so despicable.

Absolutely despicable!

"This bastard, he's still looking!" Shui Lianqing pursed her lips and clenched her teeth. "No wonder even the teacher hates him so much. He's just a pile of mud!"

Seeing Sun Yan half-closed eyes, seemingly unconsciously performing the "Three Forms of the Warrior," Shui Lianqing was extremely embarrassed and could no longer bear it. She lightly waved her arms, like two long whips, without a sound, aiming for Sun Yan's chest.

"Good!" Instructor Carter praised quietly. "The 'Weak Water Decree' combined with the 'Three Forms of the Warrior'—the whip's ferocity is hidden within, harming the enemy without a trace. Although Shui Lianqing's 'Three Forms of the Warrior' is only at the proficient stage, with the support of the 'Weak Water Decree,' it has the power of a perfect level. The 'Weak Water Decree' of the Shui family is well-deserved!"

Seeing Shui Lianqing's arms transform into a whip and strike, Carter nodded in approval, very satisfied with this student. He also believed that Shui Lianqing would definitely perform well in the final exam.

Shui Lianqing used only a thread of inner energy, her goal was to send Sun Yan flying to Instructor Carter, to wake him up properly.

Her delicate arms silently struck Sun Yan's chest. At that moment, a hand suddenly appeared, transforming into a knife, slicing straight into the gap between the two whips, and with a light twist, Shui Lianqing's silent whip was instantly shattered.

"This..." Shui Lianqing's beautiful eyes widened. Her whip form had been化解 in such a way?

Not far away, Instructor Carter's eyes also widened. "What? How did that knife form...?"

That knife form was clearly only at the initial stage, but the timing of the move was so skillful, precisely targeting the weakest point of Shui Lianqing's double whip form. It managed to break through her perfect-level whip form with just an initial-level knife form.

To achieve this, one needed keen eyesight, perfect timing, and skill, which was not something an ordinary person could do.

Instructor Carter looked at Sun Yan's back. "Coincidence? It must be a coincidence. How could this pile of mud have such keen eyesight?"

At this moment, Sun Yan had already come to his senses. He thought to himself, "Why can't I get rid of my bad habits? Eight years of watching adult movies have formed a bad instinct."

Seeing Shui Lianqing's embarrassed, angry, and surprised gaze, Sun Yan felt embarrassed. Although lust is a natural instinct for males, he really didn't mean to do it just now; it was purely an unconscious act.

However, with the class and Instructor Carter watching, Sun Yan couldn't apologize, as that would be admitting guilt.

Sun Yan suddenly thought about Shui Lianqing's whip form, which was soft on the outside but hard on the inside. Although it was at the proficient stage, it had the power of a perfect level, but the energy flow was somewhat sluggish.

After a pause, Sun Yan smiled apologetically, raised his arms, and mimicked Shui Lianqing's previous move, but aimed at her shoulders instead of her chest.

This whip form was identical to Shui Lianqing's, light and silent, as if performed by a beginner. However, in Shui Lianqing's eyes, her green eyes widened even more. This whip form looked soft and weak, with no strength at all. But she had seen it before.

It combined softness and hardness, able to switch between the two at any time, which was the hallmark of a perfect-level whip form.

Shui Lianqing had no time to think further. To break the whip form with a knife form, she knew she couldn't do it. She had to use her arms to strike Sun Yan's elbows, forcing him to change his move.

However, as soon as her fair hands touched his elbows, Sun Yan's arms vibrated like slippery eels, forcefully pushing her arms away, and the attack continued, aiming for her shoulders.

The back of his palms struck her shoulders, and a gentle but firm force made her body tremble. If the force had been a bit stronger, she would have been sent flying.

"You..." Shui Lianqing looked up, glaring at Sun Yan. Was he deliberately trying to humiliate her? How could his whip form reach a perfect level?

Sun Yan didn't stop. He retracted his arms and swung another whip form, this time like two snakes, entangling Shui Lianqing's delicate hands. She had no choice but to meet him.

In a moment, their practice session turned into one where Sun Yan took the lead, and Shui Lianqing was forced to follow, like a puppet.

Gradually, Shui Lianqing realized that under Sun Yan's guidance, her understanding of the "Three Forms of the Warrior" whip form deepened, especially the subtle power of a perfect-level whip form. Her own whip form quickly changed.

She swung her arms again, aiming for Sun Yan's chest. This time, she didn't use inner energy, but her arms were light and silent, without a sound, and she had almost reached the threshold of a perfect-level whip form.

Another hand appeared, transforming into a knife, and the vertical knife form again shattered her attack, cutting inward toward her wrists, forcing her to counter with a knife form.

Shui Lianqing bit her red lips. "Is this a knife form? A perfect-level knife form!" She understood Sun Yan's intention. Was he trying to compensate for his earlier behavior? What did he think of her?

A different kind of embarrassment grew in her heart. When she used a knife form to counter, she unconsciously used three parts of inner energy.

With the inner energy, her knife form immediately gained a different power, and her palms had a hint of sharpness.

"Hmm? Not good."

Sun Yan felt a cool sensation from his palms, realizing that Shui Lianqing's counter had the sharpness of a blade. He remembered that this girl was a first-level warrior, while he hadn't even reached the threshold of inner energy.

A soft and sharp force invaded his body, and suddenly, his dantian felt warm. The tingling sensation from practicing the "Chongxu Juyuan Decree" yesterday returned, and then the warm current spread throughout his body, making him feel incredibly refreshed, as if he had just taken a sauna.

In an instant, the warm current completely dispelled the invading force, and Sun Yan's right palm continued its movement, lightly slicing her fair wrists.

Shui Lianqing's body trembled again. She felt her inner energy invading Sun Yan's body being completely neutralized. At the same time, a faint warm current rebounded, accelerating the flow of her inner energy. Unfortunately, this warm current disappeared instantly.

With her green eyes wide open, Shui Lianqing looked at Sun Yan. This was the first time she had seriously examined a boy. He had a clear and handsome face and a slender figure. If it weren't for the lecherous smile on his lips, he would be quite handsome.

Indeed, a person who had mastered the "Three Forms of the Warrior" to a perfect level couldn't possibly lack inner energy. But why, in the three years at Nanying Academy, did this boy willingly endure the teacher's insults and the classmates' contempt?

In the corner of the training room, Instructor Carter's eyebrows twitched, as if in a spasm. "All three forms of the 'Three Forms of the Warrior' at a perfect level, and he can even guide his classmates in training. This Sun Yan, this Sun Yan..."

Carter couldn't describe his feelings. It was like watching a pig that had been lazy for three years suddenly shed its skin and become a fierce tiger. This contradictory feeling made Carter want to spit blood.

Suddenly, Carter's eyes widened. He saw Shui Lianqing use inner energy in her knife form, and Sun Yan's light hand knife easily neutralized the attack.

"Damn, this bastard is a first-level warrior, and his inner energy can be controlled at will. This bastard!" Carter cursed silently, but he felt inexplicably elated. "Is this bastard showing off to me because he knows his usual grades are不合格, and he can't participate in the graduation martial arts test? This bastard, good, really good, really damn good."

Thinking about Sun Yan's past, Carter was puzzled. "Strange, this kid has such good talent, why didn't I notice it before?"

Suddenly, Carter recalled the class meeting three years ago when the homeroom teacher, Li Gang, criticized Sun Yan harshly, almost insulting him. He still remembered some of those words.

Carter suddenly understood. "That's it. Teenagers are naturally rebellious, especially such a genius."

Connecting the dots, Carter found what he believed to be the answer. Every martial arts genius is naturally proud. Being criticized by the homeroom teacher at the beginning of the school year would certainly make a teenager rebellious. Moreover, the martial arts taught at Nanying Academy are basic, which a martial arts genius would consider childish.

Therefore, Sun Yan's poor behavior over the past three years was understandable. To others, he might seem like a pile of mud, but in Sun Yan's eyes, everyone else was probably a bunch of clowns.

Carter, having figured this out, felt extremely pleased. "So what if you're a genius? You're still my student. With the final exam approaching, you must be anxious, right? If you can't even participate in the martial arts test, no matter how talented you are, you won't get into Difeng Academy."

Difeng Academy? Yes, with the strength this kid has shown, he might really make it into Difeng Academy. If Class C-69 suddenly produces such a student, what would the students in the A and B classes think?

Narrowing his eyes and looking at Sun Yan's back, Carter found the student increasingly adorable. He flipped open the register and added 50 points to Sun Yan's usual grades.

100 points out of 100!
