Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 354 Falling in Love

"Han Yi, that was just a warm-up. I'm about to get serious. Be careful," Huang Rong warned.

She was dressed in a light blue martial arts outfit, looking spirited and heroic. Her eyes showed no trace of the embarrassment and distress she had experienced due to a lack of money.

After receiving sponsorship from Tao Qingtang, Han Yi approached her to offer her some money as a loan to alleviate her immediate financial crisis.

This is also a form of help between friends. After all, Huang Rong has provided him with a lot of assistance in many things.

To his surprise, Huang Rong refused his request, saying that everything had been resolved.

How exactly was this matter resolved, and through what channels?

Han Yi didn't ask, and she didn't want to say. It seemed to involve her personal privacy.

"It's alright, come on." Han Yi's gaze was calm.

"Okay, here we come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Rong lunged forward, his figure flashing suddenly, stirring up a cloud of dust on the rocky beach.

She was incredibly fast, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, rivaling even Han Yi when he unleashed his full power of the Flying Dragon Technique.

"Our Yangzhi Academy cultivates the Heavenly Dragon Fire Control Fist, a martial art characterized by explosive and rapid power, emphasizing bursts of speed and power!"

"Speed... well, that just happens to be my strength!"

Han Yi spread his legs and threw a solid punch.

Bang!

Both of them trembled simultaneously, showing they were evenly matched.

"Not bad." Huang Rong chuckled. "I'm going to use my full strength now."

With a push of her toes, she nimbly turned and unleashed dozens of punches in an instant.

Han Yi remained expressionless, using his palms to lead his body in a series of head-on collisions.

A wisp of heat, like the warmth of a small candle, slowly spread from the point of contact between the fist and palm.

"The Heavenly Dragon Fire Fist is scorching hot like a raging fire. If you can't handle it, just say so, or you'll get hurt," Huang Rong warned, as a patch of black gradually spread across his fist before he swung it horizontally.

"I know." Han Yi's expression remained unchanged.

That's it?

This temperature isn't even as high as the fire poison of the Flying Dragon Technique. Not to mention the transformation into the Reverse Scale state, which inherently enhances the body's intense heat.

His body had long since adapted to the high temperature.

To be honest, Huang Rong's little bit of force was really similar to soaking in a hot spring. It felt a little tingly and itchy on his body, but actually quite comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that he had to use the Qianyang Gong for the experiment, he would have slapped him long ago.

After several dozen rounds, Han Yi pretended to be exhausted, took a step back, and raised his hand to admit defeat.

"Indeed impressive. The Yangzhi Academy truly lives up to its reputation as the top of the seven academies. This Heavenly Fire Dragon Control Fist is indeed fierce, swift, and powerful," he exclaimed.

The seven academies of Jingtian each possess unique and distinctive martial arts skills.

The Heavenly Fire Dragon Fist possesses explosive and scorching properties, requiring the enemy to expend a significant amount of energy to counteract it. Prolonged combat can easily deplete the enemy's energy, causing implosion damage.

Huang Rong's Heavenly Fire Dragon Fist was only at the third level, which was when he had just started to generate internal energy.

Even so, Han Yi felt that if he really lost his power and continued fighting like this, he would not be a match for him with his fully developed Qianyang Force.

"Alright, you're not bad either," Huang Rong smiled. "You've just started to lose your power, so it's normal that you can't beat me."

Besides, once you've finished dispersing your internal energy and officially begin practicing the Nine-Bend Cold Yin Palm, its power... won't be inferior to the Heavenly Fire Dragon-Controlling Fist.

This sparring test was proposed by Han Yi.

He made the excuse that he had just lost one of his martial arts techniques and wanted to test his strength, which led to the fight just now.

Of course, his real purpose was to test the effect of the secret technique, Concealment.

Before the competition, he temporarily concealed the fluctuations of Qi and blood from the Flying Dragon Skill and only used the Qianyang Skill.

If one can remain unscathed even during such intense fighting, with one's qi and blood rapidly changing and circulating, then one will have even less of a problem when facing the daily observations of others.

"Alas, you've already reached the third level of true skill..." Han Yi sighed, showing his disappointment. "After I dissipate my power, I'll have to start cultivating again... I don't know when I'll be able to catch up with you..."

Hearing this, Huang Rong was taken aback. She paused for a moment, then untied the ribbon binding her hair and tossed it aside.

“Han Yi…” she said softly.

"?" Han Yi looked at her with some confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"Han Yi, I might not be able to come and spar with you alone like this anymore." Huang Rong suddenly looked up, his tone firm.

"What's wrong?" Han Yi frowned.

He didn't have many friends in Jingtianzhuang, and Huang Rong was one of them.

“When I went home for the holidays a while ago…” Huang Rong smiled broadly, “My family introduced me to someone… and I got engaged.”

She said bluntly, "He's also from the inner courtyard of Jingtian Manor. He's a good person, and his family is well-off... So, if I come here like this... there will be conflicts on the man's side..." "I understand, that explains it," Han Yi said, showing his understanding.

Not long ago was the New Moon Festival in Huayang City, which is similar to the New Year's Day in my previous life.

It's also a good day for families to reunite and for people to introduce potential partners to each other.

Of course, he understood what Huang Rong meant.

It's normal to avoid suspicion.

If it were him, he wouldn't accept it if his fiancée was always away from home, running around and contacting other men.

After all, people who practice martial arts year-round have active blood and energy, so it would be bad if something happened to them.

"Okay, that's good." Huang Rong clasped his hands together and said apologetically, "Although you are a very good person and have a reliable personality, I just want to find someone rich."

I've had enough of that feeling of being penniless and constantly being chased by creditors. You know, unlike you, I don't have external investors who are interested in me, so this is already quite an achievement.

Therefore, we may not be able to meet alone like we are now in the future.

During the New Moon Festival, she visited the man's family, a merchant family with a considerable business. Although it couldn't compare to any wealthy or powerful family, she was content.

Moreover, the man is a good person, also a member of the inner courtyard of Jingtian Manor, which meets her criteria for a partner, and most importantly... his family is rich.

Therefore, under these circumstances, in order to get married smoothly...

She made a decisive decision to cut off contact with her male friends, including Han Yi. It was a pity, even though she and Han Yi had a good relationship.

But there is no way around it.

"Okay, no need to say anything more, I understand." Han Yi nodded and smiled. He only considered Huang Rong a friend. Although some people might not believe it, it was indeed the case.

Actually, when Han Yi first met Sun Ruoqing, this senior sister Sun had tried to match them up.

After all, he's getting on in years, it's about time he got married.
