Chapter 64: Kissing Xiao Wu to Enrage Tang San to Death

The benefits of dual-cultivation sports for one's realm are immense, yet they are not without limit!

Later on, Gu Chen discovered that he would only increase his strength when engaging in relations with maidens of pure virtue, and the more he progressed, the smaller the gains became.

The same applied to the young women.

Only the intertwining of primordial yang and primordial yin energies could generate the greatest force. However, one should not rely too excessively on this energy. Possessing raw energy without combat techniques is highly detrimental to the growth of a Spirit Master.

Furthermore, doing such things too frequently would inevitably harm the body, a fact that both Gu Chen and Xiao Wu understood well!

The next morning, Xiao Wu linked arms with Gu Chen as they arrived at Shrek Academy. Seeing the two of them looking so intimate, Zao Wuji gave a couple of dry coughs.

Xiao Wu planted a light kiss on Gu Chen’s cheek before reluctantly loosening her grip on his arm, turning to wrinkle her little nose playfully at Zao Wuji...

The others arrived one after another, and only then did the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang, emerge from his room with his hands behind his back.

"All of you performed exceptionally well!"

"Can any of you tell me the purpose of training you in this manner?"

"Teacher, let me answer," Tang San was the first to raise his hand.

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction. In his heart, Tang San cut the perfect figure of an exemplary student, earning a great deal of his favor.

"Very well, Little San, you go ahead."

"Yes, Teacher. The purpose of having us do this is to temper our willpower. It teaches us to constantly maintain a calm and ordinary mindset, ensuring we never forget our cultivation simply because we have acquired power."

"Mm, what you said is exceptionally good, Tang San! Does anyone else have anything to add?"

"Grandmaster, your purpose in doing this is to let us experience the suffering of the common people, so that we may cherish everything we currently possess."

Ma Hongjun chimed in with a timely addition.

"......"

Various additions were made successively, but Gu Chen remained completely silent.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed that one person had failed to answer, and his gaze finally fell upon Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Chen smiled faintly and replied calmly, "It is merely a petty method of motivation, meant to tell us that without spirit power, we are bound hand and foot in many endeavors, thereby driving us to work harder in cultivating our spirit power!"

"Gu Chen, watch your tongue!"

Sensing that something was amiss upon hearing those words, Zao Wuji hurriedly spoke up to stop him!

Yet it was already too late; the Grandmaster’s complexion had turned the color of a pig's liver!

"An incorrigible youth! Gu Chen, go run twenty laps around the playground and then come back to answer the question! You are forbidden from using spirit power!"

"Run if I must, but I will reiterate what I said before: what you teach is nothing more than superficial paths."

"The path of great learning consists in manifesting illustrious virtue, in loving the people, and in resting in the highest excellence."

"You..." Yu Xiaogang felt as though his lungs were about to explode from rage. He pointed at Gu Chen for a long while without being able to utter a single word.

Gu Chen paid him no further mind and began running lap after lap around the playground.

As he ran, he shouted aloud, "The path of great learning consists in manifesting illustrious virtue, in loving the people, and in resting in the highest excellence.

Knowing where to rest leads to stability; stability leads to tranquility; tranquility leads to peace; peace leads to deliberation; deliberation leads to attainment..."

Yu Xiaogang was so enraged that he kept pinching the acupoint beneath his nose. This fellow was simply too infuriating! Wherever he, Yu Xiaogang, went, he was always met with respect, with everyone addressing him as Grandmaster.

He never expected that in front of this young man, he himself would be rendered utterly worthless, and that the boy would even dare to flaunt his superficial learning right before him. How could he not be furious?

"Teacher, would you like me to teach him a lesson?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was provoked to the point of extreme anger, Tang San stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Do not be rash, Tang San. This is the academy, and it is inconvenient to resort to violence here."

The unspoken implication was that once Gu Chen was lured outside the academy grounds, things could be arranged...

"This disciple understands!"

Gu Chen was blessed with abundant stamina, and the twenty laps were soon completed.

The moment he returned to the group, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong simultaneously extended their handkerchiefs toward him.

Gu Chen smiled and politely declined.

"My thanks to you senior sisters, but my manly vigor is simply too intense; if I were to soil your handkerchiefs, they would be dreadfully difficult to wash. I appreciate the kind intentions, though."

With that, he pulled a pink handkerchief out of Oscar’s pouch and wiped his face with it.

"I'll just use Senior Oscar's. Senior Oscar won't mind, will he?"

"I don't mind, not at all!" Oscar’s mouth twitched.

Damn it! Could you please stop making a fool of me in front of everyone?

So what if I, your grandfather here, happen to like pink? What about it?!

......

"Very well, today's training ends here. All of you return to your respective quarters and reflect deeply upon this. If there is anything you do not understand, come ask me later."

Leaving those words behind, Yu Xiaogang departed in a huff, feeling his lungs ache simply from looking at Gu Chen here!

Out of sight, out of mind!

After Yu Xiaogang left, the Principal of Notting Junior Academy, Keluqi, arrived at the playground. The moment he stepped onto the grounds, he made a bee-line for Gu Chen.

"You are Gu Chen, are you not?"

"Mm." Gu Chen acknowledged with a hum, fully aware of what Keluqi was aiming at.

"You are that Gu Chen from the Notting City Gu family, correct?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Gu Chen's heart, though his expression remained perfectly tranquil.

"Principal Keluqi, what is the meaning of this? I don't understand what you're talking about."

"What Notting City Gu family? What Gu Chen?"

"Spare me the act! I have long since discovered your identity, and furthermore, I know the very purpose of your coming here!"

Principal Keluqi glared at Gu Chen with a look of distaste.

"Oh? Do tell, what is my purpose in coming here?"

"Must I spell it out for you? It will only make things extremely unsightly for you!"

"Hah..." Gu Chen let out a cold chuckle, his sharp gaze locking onto Keluqi.

"Then by all means, enlighten me as to my purpose here!"

"Fine! Since you are as impervious to shame as a boiled pig, I will speak plainly!"

"Watch your language, you old dog!"

"How dare you hurl abuses?"

"Dressed like a human yet acting like a dog, and old to boot—if I don't call you an old dog, what should I call you!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Sharp-tongued little brat, let's see if you can remain this composed in a moment!"

"Hmph..."

"You are merely the disgraced young master of the Notting City Gu family, Gu Chen! I know not what fortuitous encounter allowed you to advance to level twenty, but whatever games you played back at Notting Junior Academy, don't even dream of pulling them here!"

"Go on!"

"Fine, fine, fine... Your sole purpose in coming here is to prey upon and ruin the innocent, flower-like young maidens of Shrek Academy."

"Are you talking about ruining them like this?"

Gu Chen walked straight up to Xiao Wu and planted a kiss squarely on her fragrant lips.

"Is this what you mean?"

Keluqi froze in place, Tang San practically blew a gasket, and Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others were left utterly speechless with shock.

Xiao Wu was so painfully shy that her cheeks blossomed with a brilliant, rosy blush.

"Gu Chen, I'm going to kill you!"

Tang San erupted completely, his Eight Spider Lances bursting forth from his back as a relentless barrage of hidden weapons flew from his hands straight toward Gu Chen.

"Tang San, what are you doing?" Xiao Wu's delicate figure darted in front of Gu Chen as she rebuked him angrily.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also rushed over to shield Gu Chen behind them.

"Gu Chen, if you're man enough, stop hiding behind women!" Tang San was driven mad by fury!

Gu Chen unhurriedly spread his hands with a nonchalant expression and said, "I don't believe I've ever offended you, Third Young Master. Just what are you getting so worked up about? Wanting to kill me over this?"

"Am I someone without a master to back me up?"

Gu Chen cast his gaze toward Zao Wuji, who was watching him with a wide, amused grin.
"Now now, Tang San! Matters of the heart cannot be forced. Besides, haven't you always treated Xiao Wu like a younger sister? I think Gu Chen is quite a fine lad myself—the two of them make a rather well-matched pair!"

Tang San was furious enough to burst!

"Shall I have my father come over for another chat?"

Zao Wuji instantly clamped his mouth shut. There was no helping it; since he didn't have a formidable father of his own, he simply couldn't beat the man...

"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Rongrong, are you truly going to stand in our way for the sake of Gu Chen?"

"I'll lay my words out right here today: it's either him or me, one of us has to go. Choose!"
