"Weapon too?"
"Stop!"
Fang Rong shouted sternly.
Lin Mengjiao paid him no mind, raising her soft sword and charging forward again.
"You will die today!"
Swish, swish...
The soft sword weaved around Fang Rong like a venomous snake.
Fang Rong was forced to retreat step by step.
Fang Rong shouted anxiously, "Chen Jie, what kind of skill is it to have a woman fight for you? If you have the guts, fight me yourself!"
Lin Mengjiao attacked while shouting, "You can't even beat me, and you want to fight my master? I'm a locksmith, do you need a lock?"
Humiliated by a woman, Fang Rong was both shocked and enraged.
Suddenly, he seized the opportunity and dived into the SUV he had driven, slamming the door shut.
Swish, swish...
After Lin Mengjiao learned cultivation arts, her soft sword could easily tear through a small car, but it was useless now.
This made Lin Mengjiao uncertain.
Fang Rong sat in the driver's seat, took a connected microphone from the center console, and shouted, "Little girl, don't waste your strength. My car is a top-tier bulletproof vehicle, much stronger than ordinary ones. If I were you, I wouldn't bother."
His words were transmitted through speakers hidden outside the car.
Otherwise, the sound from such a bulletproof car wouldn't reach the outside.
Lin Mengjiao repeatedly struck her palms, shouting, "What kind of person hides like a turtle? Didn't you want to kill my master? Come out if you dare!"
Fang Rong snorted, "Little girl, if Chen Jie hadn't sneak-attacked me with a kick just now, causing me to be seriously injured, do you think you would be my opponent?"
"Let me try."
Not far away, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened. He walked to the front of the car and punched the car window.
Boom!
The immense impact force caused the tires to gouge a trench in the ground.
However, the car body itself did not suffer significant damage.
Fang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said through the microphone, "Chen Jie, our Martial Arts Association is willing to give you a chance. In three days, we will hold a martial arts tournament. If you survive the competition, our Martial Arts Association will spare you. Do you dare to come?"
Chen Jie replied, "Tell your Martial Arts Association members that I will be there in three days!"
"Hahaha... Good, little girl, you just wait. I'll definitely turn you into a cannon mount and abuse you at will!"
Fang Rong said arrogantly, started the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator, and sped down the mountain.
Lin Mengjiao's face was filled with indignation.
She said apologetically to Chen Jie, "Master, I'm sorry, I couldn't keep him."
Chen Jie comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. Qi Refining is a major threshold. Only when you break through to Qi Refining will you be considered to have officially entered the path of cultivation. Before that, it's normal to not be very strong."
Before Qi Refining, one might indeed be inferior to some ordinary martial artists.
Chen Jie himself, before this, had only relied on the skills his master taught him to dominate the world.
"Master, I'll go cultivate now," Lin Mengjiao said, clenching her fist.
"Go."
Jiang Xue saw Lin Mengjiao fight for the first time, and a look of admiration flashed in her eyes.
She ran to Chen Jie's side and asked in surprise, "Lin Mengjiao, is she really your disciple?"
"What do you think?" Chen Jie frowned, not understanding the meaning of her words.
"I thought..." Jiang Xue thought awkwardly. She had assumed Lin Mengjiao was just a woman Chen Jie kept around to vent his frustrations on, but she didn't dare to say the latter part out loud.
Now, seeing Lin Mengjiao's skill, she was somewhat convinced.
Jiang Xue thought to herself, if she also possessed Lin Mengjiao's strength, wouldn't she become a renowned female hero?
From then on, no one would dare to bully her parents.
And no one would dare to bully her.
And if Chen Jie could train Lin Mengjiao to be so formidable in such a short period, could she also...
Jiang Xue impulsively said, "Then can you teach me something too?"
"You?" Chen Jie glanced at her, then shook his head, "You won't be able to learn what I teach."
"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?" Jiang Xue said angrily.
Chen Jie looked at her and said, "What I know is immortal magic! Magic cannot be easily passed on! If you learned my skills, you would become my disciple!"
"Putting aside whether I am willing to take you as a disciple, your spiritual roots are too mixed, and you are destined not to achieve much! You won't see much progress even in a year or several years."
This...
Jiang Xue was instantly filled with disappointment.
So, in Chen Jie's eyes, she was that insignificant?
"Is there no other way?" Jiang Xue murmured.
"Yes, and it would make you a master in a short period, but you wouldn't accept it," Chen Jie said indifferently.
"What method? I might accept it," Jiang Xue said excitedly.
Chen Jie's expression was strange, "That is, you and I cultivate together."
Jiang Xue froze, and then a blush spread across her face.
She glared at Chen Jie, "Bastard! So that's your plan! I'm going to tell Xiao Yan about this! You just wait!"
Saying that, she got into her car and drove away quickly.
Her face burned all the way until she felt slightly clearer and couldn't help but stop the car by the roadside.
"So what if you have some ability? Why are you so smug? You're actually using it to threaten me into... I won't fall for your tricks!" Jiang Xue said indignantly.
She didn't believe that her so-called mixed spiritual roots were the problem; she thought Chen Jie just wanted her and was willing to teach her the so-called immortal magic.
Thinking of this, she felt that she couldn't let Chen Jie off the hook so easily.
She immediately called Wang Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, I see it clearly now. Chen Jie is a scoundrel!" Jiang Xue said angrily.
"Jiang Xue, what's wrong?" Wang Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
"Guess what Chen Jie just said to me? He said..."
She recounted the scene and then said indignantly, "He actually wants to... cultivate together with your best friend, me! Do you think he's a good man?"
On the other end, Wang Xiao Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I won't agree to others, but I don't mind you!"
"Xiao Yan, you..." Jiang Xue was anxious, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Haha, it's good that you're by his side, so you can keep an eye on him for me and stop him from messing around!" Wang Xiao Yan laughed heartily.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Xue said.
"Hehe, fine, I won't talk nonsense, but maybe what Chen Jie said is true?" Wang Xiao Yan said.
Jiang Xue's heart suddenly tightened.
If what Chen Jie said was true, then wasn't he an immortal?
If she truly cultivated with him, she would be able to become an immortal. Would she accept it then?
For a moment, she didn't know how to choose.
Finally, she reached a conclusion: if all this were true, then with a wave of Chen Jie's hand, many women would likely throw themselves at him.
