Step three inches to the left.
Advance three feet.
Dodge sideways!
At the Magical Beast Mountain Range, by the side of a small river.
Splash!
Splash!
Water rippled and splashed everywhere.
Above the shallow river surface, two figures, one male and one female, were engaged in a rapid clash.
Sword light flashed, and fist shadows moved like the wind.
The calm water surface constantly exploded with splashes. Xiaobai squatted to the side, resting its chin on one hand, quietly watching the two fight. Danxia floated in mid-air, occasionally giving verbal instructions.
If your realm is lacking, make up for it with technique.
If your strength is insufficient, compensate with your cultivation method.
Danxia said indifferently, Shu'er, utilize the Earth-rank footwork I taught you, the Flowing Cloud Turning Step. Gaining enlightenment during battle is the most effective and rapid method.
Your frontal strength is lacking, so you cannot fight head-on.
Dodge and maneuver, and wait for the right opportunity to strike.
Ye Shu did not say a word. His eyes were calm, and his footwork was agile, never clashing head-on with Lin Qingxue.
The two tangled for dozens of rounds.
Eventually, Lin Qingxue caught a flaw in Ye Shu's footwork. Taking advantage of the moment when his old force was spent and his new force had yet to be generated, she slashed out with her sword.
Bang!
Ye Shu was sent flying backward by the sword strike, skipping across the river surface a few times before barely managing to flip over and steady his posture.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed with emotion:
I am so freaking strong.
To think that facing himself, who possessed the Zhou Tian Stars, she was still unable to fight across realms.
Although this was related to the fact that the effects of the Zhou Tian Stars had not been fully unleashed, requiring Foundation Establishment to display its true power.
But just relying on a spiritual energy reserve three hundred times the norm, he should have been able to look down on his peers.
He had to admit, he was simply a monster.
The jade pendant in his robes had already dimmed significantly.
Fortunately, although he could not win right now, he did not need the jade pendant to save his life, otherwise it would have shattered long ago.
On the other side, Lin Qingxue sheathed her sword. With her hands on her hips, she pointed at Ye Shu's sorry state and laughed arrogantly, mocking him loudly:
Weakling, weakling! You huge weakling!
You could not even last a few moves? You are not even half as strong as First Senior Brother!
Despite her words, she felt no joy in her heart.
Simply because the guy in front of her... was an absolute monster. From being instantly defeated at the very beginning to now fighting fiercely for dozens of rounds, it had only taken a short three days.
What kind of progression speed was this?
What shocked her even more was this guy's perseverance. For three whole days, apart from necessary rest and eating, he was fighting her almost every waking moment.
This made Lin Qingxue extremely confused.
She knew Ye Shu had a three-year agreement, but although Ye Shu had worked hard in his previous life, he was far from being this desperate, this... urgent.
It was as if he would die if he did not work hard.
Moreover... his eyes seemed completely devoid of that lust, calculation, or flippancy.
If she had not experienced it herself and been reborn.
Lin Qingxue would find it almost impossible to connect the resolute youth in front of her with the deceitful, lecherous, and shameless scoundrel from her previous life.
What am I thinking?
This guy forced me to be his sparring partner, tricked me out of my virginity in my past life, and ended up being a heartless scumbag with a massive harem. Lin Qingxue, you cannot be fooled by him again!
Lin Qingxue shook her head, her gaze returning to its lofty arrogance.
Little weakling, you still want to fight with this young lady? Go train for another hundred years!
Hearing this, Ye Shu was not angry.
He raised his eyes and smiled faintly, What, is Eldest Miss Lin planning to stay here with me for a hundred years?
Who wants to spend a hundred years with you!
Lin Qingxue retorted loudly without thinking.
Very well.
Ye Shu nodded and slowly walked over the water. Lin Qingxue watched him warily, her hands behind her back, What do you want to do? Are you trying to pin me against a tree again?
Hehehe...
Ye Shu rubbed his hands together, revealing a rather wretched smile, and said cheerfully, How could I be that kind of person?
It is like this, Eldest Miss Lin.
He spread his hands and spun around in place.
Look, I am so poor that I do not even have a single spirit stone on me, not even a jingle in my pockets. I do not even have a handy weapon. If I want to beat you, how long will that take? Maybe by the time we die, our children will be old enough to buy soy sauce and burn paper money at our graves, and I still might not be able to beat you.
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue spat at him.
Who wants to have your children! Even if I lived with a dog, I would not have children with a womanizer like you. The trick of developing feelings over time will not work on me!
Ye Shu waved his hand and said, It is a metaphor, just a metaphor, okay?
What I mean is, as long as Eldest Miss Lin casually gives me some spirit stones and randomly tosses me a spirit sword or something, would I not be able to beat you sooner?
Lin Qingxue was shocked upon hearing this.
Why would there be such a shameless person in this world?
You are saying that I just tried to kill you, but you counter-attacked and almost beat me to death, and then you bastard forced me to be your sparring partner. And now, I still have to provide you with spirit stones and magical artifacts so you can beat me faster, right?
As expected of Eldest Miss Lin, you are just so smart!
Ye Shu clapped his hands together and gave her a thumbs up.
Giggle.
Danxia, drifting in mid-air, could not help but cover her mouth and snicker.
Her disciple's thought process was bizarre, yet so logically clear... it was truly asking for a beating, yet also too cute.
We are enemies, enemies!
Lin Qingxue could not help but roar, You want me to use my own resources to fund the enemy???
Do you think I am an idiot?
Are you kidding me!!!
Hearing this, Ye Shu frowned.
No room for negotiation?
No room for negotiation! Lin Qingxue's attitude was firm, turning her pretty face away. I will not agree to any of your demands.
Then there is nothing I can do.
Ye Shu waved his hands. Then let us just wait it out and see who outlasts who. Anyway, I am already prepared to stay here for the rest of my life. If I do not beat you, I will not take half a step out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Do not you think about leaving either, otherwise I will use ghost possession to spank your butt.
He found a clean large rock and lay down, comfortably sunbathing, making it clear he was prepared for a war of attrition.
Seeing his shameless attitude of a dead pig not fearing boiling water, Lin Qingxue's chest heaved violently with anger.
You... you scoundrel! she gnashed her teeth.
Better than someone who tries to kill me over a single disagreement, Ye Shu replied indifferently, chewing on a foxtail grass.
You are despicable!
That is called wisdom, baby.
You are shameless!
I think so too.
You, you, you! You are infuriating me! Lin Qingxue was completely out of words. She realized she could not out-talk him, nor could she out-fight him, so she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
She raised her right hand, and her storage ring flashed.
A small pile of low-grade spirit stones appeared at her feet, along with an antique-looking longsword that emitted a faint azure glow.
Take it! She kicked the items toward Ye Shu in annoyance. A Yellow-rank High-grade Azure Peak Sword, and twenty low-grade spirit stones! Consider it... consider it a loan! You have to pay it back later!
Originally, she wanted to say it was a gift.
But after thinking about it, since it was her stuff, why should she give it to this annoying guy? So she changed her words to a loan.
Ye Shu put away the spirit stones and picked up the longsword.
Then, he walked over to Lin Qingxue and gently slid his long sword against the spirit sword in her hand.
Without making even the slightest sound, the long sword in Ye Shu's hand was effortlessly sliced in two, like a hot knife through butter.
"Miss Lin."
Holding the broken blade, Ye Shu looked at her with a completely serious expression and said,
"There is something defective about this sword. I demand the standard ten-for-one compensation for a counterfeit."
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.

The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
