Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

Thursday morning, sunny.

Su Chen accepted Ling's invitation and arrived at the video store on Liufen Street early.

Now that the master-disciple agreement had been made, he couldn't miss this opportunity to train his little apprentice.

"You've arrived, Su Chen!"

Ling, who was wiping the lucky cat, jumped up and rushed in front of Su Chen: "Are you here to teach me how to become stronger?"

She immediately thought of that promise. She had initially thought Su Chen was joking, but she hadn't expected him to actually come.

"Yes, that's it."

Su Chen smiled and nodded to Zhe on the other side.

"Well, to be honest, I appreciate you coming to teach Rin, but I hope you don't have too high hopes for her."

Zhe gave Su Chen an awkward smile, not trusting his sister's ability to act.

How could a girl who gets tired after walking two kilometers possibly become a strong person capable of splitting her body in two?

"Brother, I haven't even started yet, and you're already saying discouraging things."

Ling stomped her foot in dissatisfaction and pulled Su Chen, saying, "Don't listen to him! I'm sure I can become a strong person and surprise him!"

She longed to become stronger, and when she acted with her agent before, she always had to distract others to protect her.

If she had power, she wouldn't have to worry everyone anymore, and she could even protect her frail and sickly brother.

Just thinking about it gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

"Of course I believe it."

Su Chen patted Ling's shoulder, showing her complete trust.

With his guidance, would it be easy for Rin to tear apart Mukuro?

"Where are we going to train?" Ling asked excitedly, rubbing her hands together. "A professional dojo, or are we going to fast-forward to actual combat?"

She brandished her fists, already imagining herself as a valiant figure, taking down one corpse with a single strike.

"Let's start with the basics today and see your perseverance. An open space would be good enough."

Su Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think your garage is pretty good, it's convenient."

The garage behind the video store is very spacious and well-lit, more than enough for Ling's daily training.

"Okay, then."

Although Ling was disappointed by the lack of a sense of ceremony, she still agreed.

"Then, I'll trouble you."

Zhe looked at Su Chen and said seriously.

Although I don't have high hopes for Ling's training, I still have to thank Su Chen, her teacher, no matter what.

This is a Void Hunter level expert; if you were to hire one, it would be incredibly expensive.

"It's okay, we're all family."

Su Chen waved his hand magnanimously and said casually.

"..."

Zhe's smile froze, and he stopped laughing.

Actually, if Su Chen only wanted his sister, he would accept it, even though it would be heartbreaking. But this guy is clearly a womanizer!

"Don't overthink it. He's my master, so we're definitely family."

With a sly smile, Ling spoke to Zhe.

Hehe, with this reason, she and Su Chen can play together as much as they want.

"hehe."

Zhe revealed a mysterious smile.

Sister, do you think I'd believe that?

After a while.

In the open-air garage of the video store, the car that Suzu and Tetsu valued most was bathed in golden sunlight.

In the empty space, a small table was set up with snacks and refreshments.

Su Chen leisurely sat down in a wooden rattan lounge chair.

"Leaving aside where you conjured all these things from, do you really think you're here to guide my cultivation?"

Ling looked at Su Chen, who seemed to be on vacation, and said with some helplessness.

“Of course, don’t you think that’s what makes you seem like a master?” Su Chen picked up his hot tea, took a leisurely sip, and said, “Besides, you don’t need to be that professional to teach a complete novice.”

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, you'll be surprised how fast I've improved!"

Ling gave a disgruntled snort, then raised her head and said confidently.

"I'll wait and see." Su Chen said casually, without giving a clear answer. "Let's start with a two-character 'sheep-horse' formation to see the basics."

"What sheep, what horse?"

Ling's eyes were very clear; she didn't understand at all.

Su Chen casually raised his hand, and a 3D humanoid phantom appeared, demonstrating in a standard manner.

The so-called "Two-Character Clamping Goat Horse" can be understood as a variation of a regular horse stance. It is a basic stance in Wing Chun, and long-term practice has the wonderful effect of strengthening the kidneys and preserving essence.

"So it's just a horse stance, watch my performance!"

Looking at the illusory figure, Ling confidently bent her legs and squatted down.

Su Chen took a sip of hot tea and said leisurely, "Ling, lower your waist a little, bring your legs together a little, and don't lean forward."

Ling made the adjustments as instructed, and it began to take shape.

Although it was still not standard, Su Chen didn't say anything more, after all, even a beginner couldn't achieve standard.

For the first thirty seconds, Ling was full of confidence and very relaxed.

She gave Su Chen and Zhe, who was observing from the side, a smug smile, her eyes full of intelligence.

Zhe cheered him on, while Su Chen smiled but remained silent.

Within the first minute, Ling felt a slight tingling or numbness in her calves, but it wasn't serious.

She remained confident, but much more focused.

For the first two minutes, Ling looked troubled and clenched her teeth.

Zhe shook his head. Just then, a customer came into the shop, so he turned around and went back to watch the shop. He would come back to see his sister make a fool of herself later.

"How about it?"

Su Chen looked at the girl in front of him and asked with a smile.

"I feel fine, it's nothing serious."

Ling forced a smile and stubbornly replied.

The once energetic girl was now trembling, her face flushed, and wisps of white steam rising from her head.

Her two slender, fair legs were trembling like butterfly wings, which was very beautiful.

"What a beautiful picture of a butterfly flapping its wings."

Su Chen took a sip of tea and said jokingly.

"Humph!"

Ling snorted and gritted her teeth inwardly.

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. Although Su Chen was only stating what he saw, Ling felt insulted.

Two minutes later.

Ling's seven-minute horse stance training session came to an end.

It wasn't that she met the standard, but rather that she couldn't hold on any longer.

She straightened her legs, trembling, pouted, and said fiercely, "Su Chen, are you deliberately tormenting me, Fa'e Tong, by moving the later stages of cultivation to the beginning?"

She had reason to suspect that Su Chen deliberately wanted to see her make a fool of herself, which was why he was deliberately messing with her.

This kind of hellish level of training should only be encountered in the very late stages of the game!

"No, this is already the simplest form of cultivation."

Su Chen was dumbfounded, having suffered a tremendous injustice.

Heaven have mercy, it's just a horse stance. When he was a kid, he was punished with at least half an hour of punishment.

He was eager to see Ling make a fool of herself, but he started to exert himself even more!

Su Chen spread his hands and said jokingly, "If you're bad at it, practice more. You should think more about why you're doing this. You're already torturing yourself by squatting in a horse stance for seven minutes. What will you do if you have to swing your sword ten thousand times later? You'll probably faint!"

"Was that just the simplest step? Cultivation is so difficult!" Ling wanted to boast that she could easily achieve the feat of swinging her sword ten thousand times.

But now her legs are trembling and she doesn't even have a place to sit.

She saw the recliner where Su Chen was sitting and moved over with difficulty.

Without any hesitation, she sat directly on Su Chen's lap, leaned back, and the two of them intertwined, only their faces were misaligned.

She enjoyed the time when the two of them were close together, but unfortunately, they only had this opportunity when they were speeding on the outer ring road.

She looked up at the blue sky, with a reliable cushion beneath her—that's what true relaxation and comfort look like.

“Cultivation is indeed very difficult, otherwise, there would be strong people everywhere in New Ellie.”

Su Chen brushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen over his eyes, and a sweet, girlish fragrance wafted towards him.

There was no sweat smell because the amount of exercise I just did didn't even activate my sweat glands.

He casually picked up a pastry and stuffed it into Ling's mouth.

"good to eat!"

Ling squinted her eyes, and the slight unpleasantness she had just felt vanished instantly.

She had a new idea, and the shrewd Su Chen whispered in her ear, "What do you think about letting your brother learn?"

Since she can't rely on herself, she can only hope that her brother will become a dragon.

Anyway, she has Su Chen and many agents protecting her, so as long as her brother protects her, that's fine.

Su Chen shook his head, not optimistic: "He might perform even worse than you."

"Yes, my brother, who is frail and sickly, is probably completely incapable."

Ling sighed sadly.

It's no longer possible for her to become a star; she'll have to make the effort herself.

Ling made up her mind and whispered in Su Chen's ear, "Su Chen, please train me hard! No matter what, I will not give up!"

"There's no need for that. With your talent and age, it would be too late to start practicing step by step now."

Su Chen looked up at the sky and said slowly.

It's already quite good that they have this sincerity.

But expecting a girl with osteoporosis to become a great swordsman through practice is a bit unrealistic.

"Huh? But you said you'd make me stronger, teacher~"

Ling pitifully started to whine and beg, calling out "Teacher" with a thousand and one lingering emotions.

"You're such a jerk, Ring."

Su Chen sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you extra help."

"Special treatment?"

Like a kitten that has smelled blood, Ling immediately rolled over, from lying on her back on Su Chen to lying on top of him.

She leaned closer to Su Chen's profile, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Is it a divine skill manual that can turn me into a katana-wielding hero?"

"No, you can't even hold a horse stance properly, let alone practice any secret techniques."

Su Chen shook his head and retorted without hesitation.

You should know that the Taixu Sword Qi that he originally prepared for Ling has already been transferred to Xingjian Ya.

The original plan was to start teaching from the infant and toddler stage, but this performance was simply appalling.

In fact, he knew that given Ling's personality, she should be able to persevere. But perseverance is the most precious yet most useless thing.

"Okay, okay, I know I'm terrible at this." Ling nuzzled Su Chen's face ingratiatingly and said pitifully, "Stop pushing me, just tell me what good stuff it is!"

Su Chen reached out and grabbed a blue card, which then easily slapped onto Ling's head: "You can think of it as a high-tech enhancement potion with a gentle and non-irritating effect."

Blue quality, Body Enhancement Card, can enhance an ordinary person's stats to three times the normal level.

In fact, in terms of improving stats, it's far inferior to the enhancement liquid he produces himself.

But how should I put it? Since Ling has accepted him as her teacher, she can't just take her good student to bed on the very first day.

Although, in terms of their current relationship, the teacher-student dynamic seems more like a romantic one.

"So comfortable!"

A cool energy surged into her body, and every cell in her body greedily absorbed it.

Osteoporosis and physical weakness all disappeared at this moment.

A moment later, she felt refreshed and completely transformed.

She had never felt so comfortable before; she was suddenly full of energy, as if she could lift a bull!

This is not an illusion; she really can lift a cow!

Ling hugged Su Chen tightly, extremely excited: "I feel full of power right now!"

"Yes, it's full of power."

Su Chen nodded, repeating the statement perfunctorily.

This power is far less than when he first arrived in New Elidu, let alone the magnetic field rotation he can generate now.

Even if placed in the Rabbit House, it can only sit at the same table as Emilian.

"At least cooperate with me a little!"

Ling rubbed against Su Chen's face, she couldn't get enough of him.

She went from a weak woman to someone who could carry an ox in the blink of an eye, a much faster process than hard training and growth.

Such super-powered drugs have only appeared in movies, so she can imagine how precious they are!

Su Chen just gave it to him like that, he's spoiling me too much!

She used to enjoy the feeling of being rewarded after working hard.

But now, she feels that getting something for nothing isn't so bad!

"Anything else? Anything else?" Ling hugged Su Chen's neck tightly, rocking back and forth in the rocking chair. "No matter what kind of strange potion it is, you can use me as a guinea pig, don't be shy!"

"I have even better ones. There's a goblin serum that turns you into a green goblin, a Hulk serum that turns you into a muscular monster as tall as a three-story building, a dragon blood potion that makes you grow dragon scales, and a quick way to become indestructible and bald..."

"So many, which one should I choose?"

Su Chen smiled and casually gave a bunch of examples.

These are all purple cards, and their effects are even better than the blue cards from before. Any one of them can create a new powerful warrior in Elidu.

However, its distinctive features are so striking that they are daunting to many.

"Forget it then."

Ling shivered and strongly resisted.

If you want to become ugly, no amount of effort will help.

She still wanted a beautiful girl so she could cuddle with Su Chen and act coquettishly.

Suddenly, she became a little worried: "The thing you just gave me, it should be okay, right?"

“There are problems too,” Su Chen said seriously. “If you don’t kiss me, I’ll get angry.”

"Get lost!" Ling rolled her eyes at Su Chen, but still gave him a small peck: "That's fine, after all, brother is still in the shop."

"This is good enough. I'm afraid it would go any further."

Su Chen thought of Shen He, who had always remained chaste for this goddess.

His ears twitched, and he suddenly heard a noise: "Get up quickly, Zhe is coming."

"oh oh!"

The bell that was clinging to Su Chen immediately sprang up and flipped over to stand on the ground.

She assumed a horse stance with practiced ease, this time appearing calm and composed.

Zhe came out through the back door and saw his younger sister standing calmly, her previous dynamic beauty of spreading her wings gone: "Ling, I really didn't expect you to have improved so much in such a short time."

"Hehe, I'm the martial arts genius!"

Ling wasn't embarrassed at all; deceiving her brother was a required course for her as a younger sister.

Ignoring his arrogant sister, Zhe turned to Su Chen and thanked him, saying, "As expected, a great teacher produces a great student. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

Su Chen took a sip of hot tea, clearing the lingering fragrance from his lips.

Look, he even thanked us.
