Chapter 146: Health Preservation and the Path of Survival
“There are plenty of people in the Jianghu who want to be the Jiang Family’s dogs!”
“The manor was originally built to make money for the Jiang Family! Without the manor, you’d be wandering the Jianghu!”
“Not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to bark at me!”
“Truly, the heavens are upside down!”
“If you don’t want to do it, there are plenty of others who will!”
“Just because you’re a Zhoutian, you think you can fight me?”
Jiang Ning sneered, her right fist crackling with electricity. With a leap, she descended from the sky, aiming a heavy punch at Old Man Fan.
She might not be able to defeat Shi Feizhai, but could she not defeat this old man?
She wasn’t wrong about one thing: the truly powerful martial arts were all within their thousand-year-old sects and martial arts families. For someone like Old Man Fan to become a Zhoutian at his age, he was nothing but an old geezer!
But she was mistaken.
The Jianghu always held things beyond her imagination, especially at Qing Shan Martial Academy.
Green Qi swirled around Old Man Fan; it was the ใEternal Spring Life Nurturing Techniqueใ he had cultivated for many years.
The ใEternal Spring Life Nurturing Techniqueใ was a technique with a low entry barrier and low cultivation difficulty!
Such a simple technique, apart from strengthening the body and preventing illness, had little power. It could only be cultivated to the Qi Sea realm and had no other flaws!
It wasn’t a combat technique, but rather one used by wealthy families for health preservation and body conditioning. Old Man Fan had also obtained it by chance when he was young, working as an accountant.
After practicing it for decades, he had only reached the Qi Sea realm. He originally thought this technique would remain at this level for his entire life.
Until recently, a thought struck him.
Health preservation was a false proposition. No matter how well one preserved their health, they could still be killed by an irresistible enemy!
Even if they hid in the depths of the mountains and forests, they could be drowned by a sudden tsunami.
No place in the Jianghu was absolutely safe.
Therefore, the ใEternal Spring Life Nurturing Techniqueใ could not truly preserve health; it was false health preservation.
So what was true health preservation?
True health preservation was naturally to destroy all enemies and difficulties, turning them into nourishment for oneself!!
Without enemies, one could naturally survive!
Without enemies, every place was safe!
This was the true ใHealth Preservation Techniqueใ, the true path of survival!
Once he realized this, Old Man Fan’s technique underwent a dramatic transformation, directly pushing his cultivation to the Zhoutian realm!
The secrets of martial arts opened up to him. Will was power, and power was will.
The only question was, did he have the will?
Of course, he did!
At this moment, facing Jiang Ning descending from the sky like a celestial being, he also threw a punch.
Green True Qi gathered on his right hand, forming a glove that seemed to be burning with dark green flames!
With a “boom,” their fists collided.
Jiang Ning looked at Old Man Fan, who seemed like a completely different person, with a solemn expression. The Questioning Heart of the ใQuestioning Heart Hammerใ was actually useless against this old man.
“Hee… so this is the ใQuestioning Heart Hammerใ?” Old Man Fan grinned, feeling the force of her punch.
“What the hell is it asking?”
“A family’s filth? Decay and shame?”
“For someone like me, who has been wandering since childhood, I can’t even comprehend this question!”
“What the hell is Questioning Heart!”
“It’s nothing but self-indulgent melodrama!”
“Die!” Old Man Fan’s other hand, covered in dark green flames, struck down fiercely towards Jiang Ning’s face.
When working, one must be professional!
Professional my ass!
Looking at his fist, Jiang Ning raised her leg and delivered a vicious, heart-piercing kick towards Old Man Fan.
If this kick landed, Old Man Fan’s heart would likely explode.
So she didn’t dodge. She was betting that Old Man Fan would dodge first.
Naturally, Old Man Fan didn’t dodge either. As long as his fist hit Jiang Ning’s forehead, she would surely die. He was betting that she would dodge!
Between life and death, who would dodge?
“Boom!”
Jiang Ning’s other hand intercepted Old Man Fan’s punch first, followed by Old Man Fan’s other hand blocking Jiang Ning’s kick.
โฟโฟโฟ
Afterward, they separated, putting distance between them.
“Heh… heh… hehehe…” Old Man Fan saw Jiang Ning flinch and burst into wild laughter.
The Jiang Family’s Young Miss wouldn’t be willing to trade her life for his, an old geezer’s!
Therefore, he was bound to win this fight!
“So you’re this weak!!” Old Man Fan roared, throwing another punch at Jiang Ning!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his life for the past few decades had been… wasted!
To do what he had always wanted to do, to beat up those who bullied him, was truly exhilarating!
This was what it meant to be alive!
This was what it fucking meant to be fucking alive!
What was his past self afraid of, what was he afraid of?!
Die!
Die, you bastard!
As his thoughts surged, the green flames on his fist suddenly flared up, “whoosh,” reaching the height of a person!
Fire could only come from the heart!
“Ridiculous!” Jiang Ning was not to be outdone. A thunderclap resounded on the ground, striking her fist. Her fists were now wielding thunder, her heart filled with thunder.
How could she be defeated by a third-rate Zhoutian!
The thunder in her heart clashed once again with the flames in his heart. Thunder and green fire collided, scattering onto the surrounding grass, scorching the newly planted lawn black.
“Take it easy, you two! It’s a lot of trouble to grow grass!” Shi Feizhe shouted, watching Old Man Fan with his green fire hands and Jiang Ning enveloped in lightning.
The two locked in battle naturally ignored Shi Feizhe.
Shi Feizhe turned to look at Hua Xiaomei, who was on guard, and Xiong Ba, who seemed dazed. He said, “Are you two coming together, or one by one?”
“Brother Xiong, you go first, I’ll cover you!” Hua Xiaomei said to Xiong Ba, looking at Shi Feizhe.
After those few sword strikes, he had realized how difficult Shi Feizhe was to deal with.
Damn it, they were supposed to be three against one, how did it become two against one!
“I can’t beat Academy Head Shi! Why don’t we surrender?” Xiong Ba said.
“……”
You want to surrender before even fighting!
Surrendering means losing half the battle!
“Brother Xiong, are you really going to plaster here?” Hua Xiaomei asked through gritted teeth.
“Plastering is quite fun! It’s very interesting.” Xiong Ba said.
After plastering, seeing the results of your work, there was actually a sense of accomplishment.
“……”
Hua Xiaomei felt that if this continued, his Dao Heart would shatter.
“Don’t you care about your wife?” Hua Xiaomei thought for a moment and said.
“Oh! Right! Academy Head Shi, I’m going to help my wife!” Xiong Ba, seeing his wife at a disadvantage, said to Shi Feizhe.
With that, he turned and jumped into the other battle circle, shouting, “Don’t hit my wife!”
“……”
Damn it!
Hua Xiaomei was completely broken, cursing Xiong Ba in his heart!
What kind of shitty teammate was this, what kind of bullshit Jiang Family, Xiong Family! He was here to help, not to be a punching bag!
“Brother Hua, what’s your choice? Fight or surrender?” Shi Feizhe looked at Hua Xiaomei.
You like to help others so much, but your teammates are selling you out!
“……” Hua Xiaomei looked at Shi Feizhe, gritted his teeth, and said, “I won’t plaster!”
“Then go chop wood!”
“Fine!” Hua Xiaomei said with a dark expression.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late!
One day, he would avenge today’s humiliation!
In the battlefield, Old Man Fan, who had originally had a slight upper hand, was interrupted by a sudden burst of white light.
The white light cut through everything, even the flames on his hands.
Xiong Ba stood in front of Jiang Ning and said, “Wife, you’re being beaten again!”
Hua Xiaomei: It’s not that I’m weak, it’s that my teammates are too unreliable.
