[Ancient Martial Arts Tai Chi]
[A powerful ancient martial art, belonging to the internal martial arts family. After using it, you will reach a highly proficient level in Tai Chi]
[Note: After use, you will gain Dark Force initial stage power]
Jiang Che snapped his fingers.
Nice!
With Dark Force initial stage power - Lin Yu is currently at Dark Force initial stage... now that he had Ancient Martial Arts Tai Chi and Dark Force initial stage power, even if he couldn't beat Lin Yu... at least he wouldn't end up being hung from a tree and whipped.
"Use skill!"
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have successfully comprehended 'Ancient Martial Arts Tai Chi']
In an instant, a flood of memories related to Tai Chi poured into his mind.
Including Chen-style Tai Chi, Yang-style Tai Chi, Wudang Tai Chi, Spirit Void Tai Chi, and more than a dozen other schools, all merged together.
These were all genuine authentic styles, nothing like the fake Mixed Form and Intent Tai Chi.
But that wasn't all... his body was also gradually undergoing changes.
A mysterious qi gradually filled his limbs and bones, invisible and intangible, yet undeniably real.
The sensation was mystical, and Jiang Che understood this was what they called qigong!
Gathering a bit of power, he threw a light punch at the wall.
"Bang!" came the sound.
The concrete wall was immediately imprinted with a clearly visible fist mark, with spider web-like cracks appearing around it from the Dark Force impact.
This was insane!
If this hit someone... wouldn't they be black and blue all over?
"As a villain... I still need to get stronger!"
Jiang Che sighed. Although he was a villain with considerable power and influence,
His personal combat ability was still lacking!
According to the novel's content, Lin Yu had two masters backing him!
One was a reclusive divine doctor, and the other was a former top assassin!
Both were very powerful, with Lin Yu's assassin master having reached the peak of Transform Force.
However, these two old guys didn't have any scenes early on, only appearing after chapter 200, and they seemed to be trapped in some forbidden area.
So he could deal with Lin Yu slowly, and by the time these old guys showed up... he should be able to kill them with a single slap.
During his free time, Jiang Che began reading through the novel's script.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle.
"Oh? Around chapter 30... Lin Yu actually has a cave encounter?"
Jiang Che's eyes lit up.
He quickly read through the entire chapter, not daring to miss a single word.
"There's a cave under a mountain ravine in the suburbs of Hangcheng? With the legacy of a master inside? The cave only opens once every 6 years?"
Obviously, this cave was a special encounter left behind by Lin Yu's masters.
There were quite a few good things inside.
A spatial jade pendant, and a lightness skill manual.
Jiang Che licked his lips - he had to intercept this opportunity!
Right now Lin Yu must be very anxious... because that cave only opens once every 6 years, lasting for 7 days!
Given Lin Yu's current prison sentence, he definitely wouldn't make it in time.
The corners of Jiang Che's mouth curved upward wildly - your opportunity... I'll gladly take it!
......
After returning home, Jiang Che was once again given a big hug by his adoptive mother.
In his previous life, he had always been well-liked by these wealthy ladies.
"My little Che has become even more handsome!"
Jiang Yunli smiled radiantly, making no effort to hide her love for Jiang Che.
Jiang Che was speechless as he took a tissue to wipe the saliva off his face.
His mother... was originally a young lady from a wealthy family in the capital, pure and kind-hearted since childhood, and lived happily with Jiang Yuan after marriage.
She had never experienced any hardships in her life, perhaps her only difficulty was during childbirth!
In a romance novel, she would definitely be a Mary Sue protagonist.
Jiang Che felt indifferent towards his mother - although he was somewhat twisted, it wasn't from birth.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also walked out, wearing a happy smile.
"Let me tell you something - from now on, our Jiang family... won't just be worth hundreds of billions anymore!"
When Jiang Yuan said this, his voice was filled with pride!
"Honey, don't tell me our family is going bankrupt?" Jiang Yunli's face turned slightly pale.
Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly, "How could we go bankrupt? I mean our Jiang family might reach an even higher level!"
"Remember the new drug I told you about that Yuanche Pharmaceutical was developing?"
"Has the development succeeded?" Jiang Yunli seemed to recall something, her eyes widening slightly.
"That's right! The anti-cancer drug that our company invested over 10 billion in developing has achieved a breakthrough! The phase one clinical trial results are perfect!"
"Wow~ Amazing!"
Listening to Jiang Yuan's words, Jiang Che fell silent.
His adoptive father's company was in pharmaceuticals, and even among all pharmaceutical companies in Dragon Country, Yuanche Group ranked in the top ten.
In the original plot... Yuanche Group invested tens of billions to develop an anti-cancer drug, and if successfully developed... the profits would be enormous.
In fact, Yuanche Group did develop an effective anti-cancer drug that could suppress over 90% of cancers, and even extend the lives of late-stage cancer patients.
The effects were powerful, and once released... Yuanche Group's market value would likely double!
But he was the villain, how could he let things go well?
The company's second-largest shareholder and research staff conspired together, secretly stealing the drug formula, ultimately causing Yuanche Group's multi-billion investment to go up in smoke.
It was after this incident that the Jiang family fell into decline.
To maintain his rich second-generation status, Jiang Che decided he needed to do something.
"Dad, are you sure there are no moles in the company?"
Jiang Che's question stopped Jiang Yuan in his tracks.
"Moles? You mean..." Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed.
"The anti-cancer drug formula is secret, if it leaks..."
Jiang Yuan shook his head, "The identities of the anti-cancer drug researchers are all classified, with very high security levels..."
"Nothing is absolutely secret. I suggest you investigate quietly, check everyone in the company, especially the major shareholders!"
Jiang Che's hint was very obvious, and after pondering for a moment, Jiang Yuan nodded seriously.
"Alright, I'll do it"
Jiang Yuan took it very seriously. In fact, he had become somewhat alert himself - after all, he had built a company worth hundreds of billions from scratch in just over a decade.
He couldn't be a fool, and must have his own informants in the company.
The protagonist Lin Yu's intelligence-dampening halo didn't just affect him as the villain - everyone in the entire script would be affected!
It's just that as the main villain, he was nerfed more severely, becoming a complete brainless idiot.
"Little Che, I think you should study finance in the future, so you can join our family company after graduation... I'm getting old soon, we can't have no successor!"
Jiang Yuan's face showed worry as he started complaining.
"I'm waiting for you to take over, so I can enjoy life with your mother"
Jiang Che shrugged his shoulders - he just wanted to be a rich second generation, he didn't want to work hard.
Being a villain... dealing with the protagonist and chasing girls was much more comfortable, right?
Who would want to take over the company!
"No worries, you can still have more children, you can give me a younger brother or sister"
After Jiang Che spoke, Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded.
The main account was done for, did they really need to level up an alt?
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
