Chapter 4

"Great timing!"

Su Hao's eyes lit up as he easily blocked the attack and countered with the same move.

Chen Yiran was genuinely surprised this time. She knew Su Hao's strength well—his 3.8 source ability and the fact that he could master basic combat techniques was already beyond her expectations.

But now, he had actually mastered intermediate-level basic combat techniques, which truly shocked her. "Well, well, you've really been keeping your cards close to your chest. Let me see how well you've mastered the intermediate-level techniques."

"Ha!"

Chen Yiran launched a series of intermediate-level combat moves, and Su Hao countered each one, completely defending himself. Then, he even turned around and countered with a series of moves.

"Not bad, you've got a solid grasp."

Chen Yiran naturally didn't want to admit defeat and calmly evaluated Su Hao.

However, in just two minutes, Su Hao had taken the upper hand. Although she could easily defeat him, in terms of basic combat techniques alone, Su Hao was already above her.

Chen Yiran's competitive spirit was immediately ignited. She subtly used advanced-level basic combat techniques, "Let's see how you handle this."

"Puff! Puff!"

Two quick punches hit Su Hao, but he quickly blocked them with his right arm and countered with the same moves.

"Advanced-level basic combat techniques!"

Chen Yiran's charming eyes widened in shock. Su Hao had actually mastered advanced-level basic combat techniques?

Su Hao was now fully immersed in training. With each punch, he entered a state of intense practice, blending countless advanced-level techniques in his mind and executing them one by one.

Chen Yiran no longer held back, mixing various levels of combat techniques, performing a seamless flow of moves. This was a true exchange.

And Su Hao was no less impressive, countering each move and occasionally unleashing a super combo that spanned beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, almost leaving Chen Yiran defenseless.

Chen Yiran was in a tough spot, but she noticed Su Hao's state, which was the perfect opportunity for him to gain insight. She could only continue to spar with him.

After a full hour, Su Hao finally stopped, pleasantly surprised as he clenched his fists. He had mastered it!

It was originally impossible to achieve so quickly, but the sparring with Chen Yiran had accelerated his progress by countless times. In just over an hour, he had fully mastered it.

Combat skill score: 100 points!

His source ability had finally climbed to 5.0!

"Ha!"

"Hey!"

Su Hao threw two punches into the air, feeling a completely different sensation, each punch accompanied by a gust of wind.

"Hey, Su the genius, you're done, come over and help me up," a silver bell-like voice came from the side. Su Hao then noticed Chen Yiran, drenched in sweat, leaning against a tree.

Su Hao awkwardly walked over and helped her up.

He knew why Chen Yiran was so tired. To help him practice, she had to suppress her strength, sparring with Su Hao at full power while also restraining herself to avoid hurting him, which was even more difficult than using her full strength.

Not to mention, Su Hao's unexpected mastery of basic combat techniques was even better than hers, making it even harder for her to keep up.

"Sorry about that," Su Hao apologized awkwardly.

"No need to apologize, but you sure have been keeping your cards close to your chest," Chen Yiran said with a hint of annoyance, "With this kind of strength, why did you need my guidance?"

"I wasn't this smooth before. I just naturally grasped it during the sparring," Su Hao smiled, looking at the sweat-drenched Chen Yiran, "I owe you one."

Chen Yiran looked at him with a half-smile, "If this counts as owing me, you owe me a lot."

After a brief rest, Chen Yiran quickly recovered, taking just two minutes to do so.

"Let's go back to school," Chen Yiran stood up.

"Wait..." Su Hao stopped her.

"What?" Chen Yiran was a bit puzzled.

Su Hao pointed to her chest, and Chen Yiran looked down, her face turning red.

The intense exertion had made her drenched in sweat, her clothes completely soaked and clinging to her body. Her chest, with its two prominent peaks, was clearly visible, making her look incredibly alluring. Even the two small, raised points on her chest were faintly visible.

"What are you looking at? Take off your clothes," Chen Yiran pretended to be fierce, stripping off Su Hao's school uniform and putting it on, feeling much more comfortable.

Exercise easily made one sweat, but for her current strength, even using full power was just an energy burst, without any such issues.

She hadn't expected that helping Su Hao practice today would lead to such an awkward situation.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Chen Yiran raised an eyebrow, looking at him fiercely.

"Of course not, I said I perform but don't sell myself," Su Hao joked, and the two chatted for a bit, quickly dispelling the awkwardness.

They walked back to school.

For the first time, a strange feeling lingered between them.

For Su Hao, he had never dared to think or look at her before. They were just ordinary friends, with no hint of romance.

But now, with his increased strength, his confidence had also grown. Su Hao noticed for the first time how truly beautiful and charming the school's top student was, just as the rumors said.

When they returned to school, Su Hao and Chen Yiran caused a stir.

"Wait... What did I just see? Chen Yiran is wearing Su Hao's school uniform?"

"No way, buddy, what kind of eyes do you have? Chen Yiran, who is she, how could she... Holy crap, it's true."

At a corner of the school, Sun Yaotian's face was contorted with rage, his complexion turning ashen, his fists clenched, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Chen Yiran, you bitch, I've been in love with you for years, and you go off with this poor guy to fool around," Sun Yaotian growled.

The two lackeys beside him were silent, too afraid to speak.

A person's inner filth could be seen in their words. Those who are dark assume others are the same.

Chen Yiran's panting, sweat-soaked clothes, and the fact that she was wearing Su Hao's school uniform, along with their return from outside the school, made it seem like they had been up to something. Sun Yaotian naturally assumed they had been intimate, as he often did with others.

"Lu Wei, get over here," Sun Yaotian shouted.

A tall, muscular man, standing at 1.9 meters, walked out, his face pale as he stood beside Sun Yaotian, "Boss."

"Have you and Su Hao been friends?" Sun Yaotian asked coldly.

"No, no," Lu Wei quickly waved his hands, "We were just in the same middle school. We barely speak in high school. I wouldn't bother with a weakling like him."

"I'm not interested in your story," Sun Yaotian said with disgust, "Just tell me what Su Hao values the most. He ruined my woman, and I'll ruin him!"

"Y-Yes..." Lu Wei was sweating profusely, hesitating.

"Speak!" Sun Yaotian's expression turned fierce, his 8-point source ability aura radiating, making Lu Wei tremble.

"It's his sister, Su Hao values his sister the most, and she's a student at our school," Lu Wei hurriedly said.

"Oh? A sister?" Sun Yaotian's eyes gleamed with evil, "What's her name?"

"Su Ling!"

"Su Ling?" Sun Yaotian was taken aback, "The genius girl in the second year?"

"Yes, yes."

"A weakling like him has a genius sister," Sun Yaotian hesitated. Su Ling wasn't an ordinary person; she had already reached 8 points in source ability by the second year and was rumored to be close to 9, a super genius.

She was a key focus of the school. If he dared to harm Su Ling, the old men at the school would likely tear him apart. The thought of those old men made him shudder.

But letting Su Hao off so easily left him feeling unsatisfied.

Sun Yaotian's face was a mix of emotions as he hesitated for a moment, then pressed a button on a device on his left wrist.

"Whoosh!"

A virtual screen popped up. Compared to the old phones used by other students, Sun Yaotian was clearly a fashionable new human.

He selected a number and dialed. Soon, a figure appeared on the virtual screen, tall and muscular, with a bronze complexion and distinct features, his cold eyes looking at Sun Yaotian, "What is it?"

"Brother Yifeng, I saw Yiran with a poor student," Sun Yaotian said, hesitating for a moment, then added, "And they were disheveled."

"I see," the figure nodded and hung up the call.

The blatant disregard made Sun Yaotian angry, but the anger quickly subsided, "Su Hao, if I can't handle you, someone else will. Ha, you probably don't even know who you've messed with."

Somewhere in Jianghe City.

Chen Yifeng calmly closed the communication, a cold smile appearing on his lips, "Sun Yaotian, a waste of space, even thinking about my sister, you're asking for death."

"But regarding Yiran, I doubt he would dare to lie to me. I should go to the school and check it out."

With that, Chen Yifeng started his limited-edition hover car, which drew a beautiful arc in the sky as it headed toward the school.
