"Scram! If you dare to pester Changsun Ruoyan again, don't blame me for being rude," Zhou Hong threatened fiercely.
Liu Chunhua didn't say anything and turned to leave dejectedly. Although he seemed aggressive, he immediately backed down when faced with a tough opponent. At this moment, he didn't dare to utter a single word.
"Changsun Ruoyan, I don't think he'll bother you anymore," Zhou Hong said, turning to Changsun Ruoyan.
"I hope so!"
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's start practicing martial arts," Zhou Hong urged.
"Mhm," Changsun Ruoyan nodded. She had been somewhat suspicious of Zhou Hong earlier, but after seeing how easily he defeated Liu Chunhua, she no longer had any doubts.
An hour later.
"All right! I've pointed out the issues with your sword techniques. From now on, just practice according to my instructions! I guarantee your skills will improve by leaps and bounds," Zhou Hong told Changsun Ruoyan. In the past hour, Zhou Hong had watched Changsun Ruoyan's swordplay and corrected every flaw. If she followed the training Zhou Hong had modified, Changsun Ruoyan's strength would definitely be ten times greater than it was now.
"Zhou Hong, I didn't expect your skills to be this good. I'm starting to wonder if your mastery of swordsmanship is even higher than my sister's," Changsun Ruoyan said with admiration.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, my sister also guided me. She knows my swordplay issues inside out, but she didn't offer such precise corrections like you did. I suspect your mastery of swordsmanship surpasses my sister's."
"Haha, if you say so, then so be it. You practice on your own for now. I need to go home and get some change of clothes," Zhou Hong said.
"Okay!" Changsun Ruoyan nodded. Seeing Zhou Hong going home to get clean clothes, she knew he would be staying at her place for the next few days. She had initially been rather resistant to having another man in the house, finding it inconvenient. However, now she suddenly felt quite welcoming.
Without further thought, Changsun Ruoyan immediately began training according to Zhou Hong's guidance.
As expected, the moment Changsun Ruoyan made a move, the same techniques were vastly more powerful than before.
"Amazing! I really don't know who this guy is. The same moves, when performed before and now, are like they're from completely different levels," Changsun Ruoyan mused inwardly. She had to admit that although Zhou Hong was a pervert, he indeed possessed great skill in swordsmanship.
After leaving the park, Zhou Hong returned to Tianhe Residential Area.
Qiao Xiaoyu and Qin Mengxue had both gone to school, so there was no one at home.
Zhou Hong packed a few changes of clothes and then left Tianhe Residential Area.
Meanwhile, at that very moment, in a hospital in Jinzhou City.
"No, no, no." On a hospital bed, a man woke up. When he lifted the covers and saw a tube in his bedding, he uttered three consecutive "no"s, seeming unable to accept it.
This person shouting was none other than Tan Chao, whose lower body had been crippled by Zhou Hong's kick last night.
After Tan Chao was sent to the hospital, the doctor recommended he have it removed immediately and replaced with an imported prosthetic. Tan Chao was in so much pain that he had passed out. His family, enduring the pain, had signed the consent form to have Tan Chao's lower body removed and a new imported prosthetic tube inserted for urination.
It wasn't until the next day that Tan Chao woke up in the hospital. However, upon seeing the plastic tube where his manhood should be, he went mad. He tried to pull it out, but thankfully his family stopped him quickly, or the newly installed imported tube would have had to be replaced again.
"Tan Chao, calm down. What's done is done, and it's irreversible," an old man standing by the bedside said through gritted teeth.
"Zhou Hong, I want him dead! Go kill him quickly!" Tan Chao said furiously.
However, the family members in the room remained silent, their faces grim.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Go kill him!" Tan Chao roared.
"Tan Chao, we can't kill Zhou Hong," one of the elders from the Tan family said.
"Why?"
"Last night, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy came. He told us not to seek revenge on Zhou Hong, otherwise, our family might suffer even greater losses. Remember Qian Jie? He's like you; he also had an imported tube inserted. He was also crippled by Zhou Hong's kick. However, after Zhou Hong crippled Qian Jie, Qian Jie's grandfather immediately sought revenge on Zhou Hong. But in the end, Zhou Hong has an expert behind him, and that expert also crippled Qian Jie's grandfather, Qian Feng. Now, Qian Feng also has an imported tube."
"What?" Tan Chao was shocked.
"Our family is not stronger than the Qian family; we're about the same. So, until we know who the expert behind Zhou Hong is, we shouldn't act rashly."
"That's right, Tan Chao. Zhou Hong, who originally came from the slums, suddenly possesses such strong martial arts talent. He must have an expert guiding him from behind the scenes. This time, you can only consider yourself unlucky. But you were also at fault; why did you provoke him during the mobilization meeting last night?" another man sighed.
"Arghhh!" Tan Chao let out a painful roar, surprised that Zhou Hong had such a powerful expert backing him.
"Don't worry. The family will secretly search for a matching transplant for you," a strong member of the Tan family assured him.
Thus, the Tan family's plan to seek revenge on Zhou Hong was inadvertently thwarted by the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy.
At this moment, Zhou Hong delivered the change of clothes to Changsun Qinghe's home and then went to the park. Su Dan Novel Network.
Changsun Ruoyan was still practicing her swordplay diligently in the park.
Seeing her practicing incorrectly, Zhou Hong quickly went up to guide her hand-in-hand.
In this way, five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five days, Zhou Hong stayed at Changsun Qinghe's residence.
Finally, the Jiangnan Province University Student Martial Arts Competition was about to begin.
To be precise, the competition would officially start the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow, all participants had to depart for the provincial capital.
"All right, Changsun Ruoyan, I've been guiding you for these five days. Your strength is now far greater than before. Even if your current realm is weaker than others, with the sword techniques I've taught you, you can defeat opponents several realms higher than you," Zhou Hong said to Changsun Ruoyan in the park. Today was the last day of his guidance.
"Mhm, thank you," Changsun Ruoyan said gratefully.
Over these past few days, Zhou Hong had guided her almost hand-in-hand, and her martial arts realm had advanced from the twenty-eighth stage of the fifth realm to the twenty-ninth stage.
Most importantly, the sword techniques Zhou Hong taught her were extremely profound, enabling her to defeat opponents at the thirty-first, and even thirty-second, stage of the Martial Warrior realm.
