"Let me tell you, when you're in a one-on-one fight, you must try to keep your body in the most balanced state. What you did just now was wrong; most of it was showy moves. In a battle for life and death, all those tricks are useless. You can only take down your opponent in the fastest and most accurate instant."

In the Yanhuang Soul base, after taking down the Qinghai stronghold, Xiaofan continued his work. He and Red Butterfly would have a major battle eventually; life or death was still uncertain.

However, Yanhuang Soul is indeed an important place in Huaxia. Not only is it full of talents, but maintaining peace in Huaxia also depends on wave after wave of young people joining without regrets.

Therefore, before the great battle arrives, Xiaofan thought about whether he could survive. Before he could, he wanted to leave behind as much as he could. So he brought the people whose names he noted down last time during the drill to the training hall to teach them intensively.

"Boss, could you demonstrate for us?"

The newcomers were working very hard, and their admiration and respect for Xiaofan and the others came from the heart. Although the identities of Xiaofan and the others were still very mysterious to them, they knew that being able to take on over three hundred newcomers with just a few people was indeed a sign of great power. So they were learning very diligently.

"Li San, come over here..."

"I won't go. Last time when you had me do a demonstration, my arm got twisted badly. I'm not doing a demonstration for you again." Li San said with a pout.

"Then Ren Ying..."

"Hmm."

Ren Ying was always the type who spoke very little, yet he would always comply with Xiaofan's instructions, almost as if he had already decided that Xiaofan was the next Patriarch of the Ren Family. He lived only to repay the Ren Family.

"Watch closely, Ren Ying, come..."

The two of them demonstrated a simple movement once without any superfluous actions, dispensing with all fancy moves in one fluid motion.

"Did you see clearly?"

"No." The newcomers answered in unison. Whether it was because the actions of Xiaofan and Ren Ying were too quick, or because the fight was genuinely exciting, the newcomers loved watching Xiaofan and the others demonstrate. It's uncertain how impressive it would be if a real fight broke out.

"Once more, the last time, watch carefully."

Xiaofan said as he signaled Ren Ying to move again. The two of them then exchanged ten attacking and defending moves and stopped again, each move identical, straightforward attacks quickly breaking through each other's defenses.

"Lin Hongbin, He Qiang, you two pair up and show me those movements we just did."

"Huh?"

"Oh, oh."

The two quickly stepped out of the group of onlooking newcomers, exchanged glances, and the next moment, they were facing off against each other.

"Stop..."

As soon as they started, they were halted by Xiaofan's angry shout.

"What is it? All hesitant and awkward. Be bolder. Move faster, what can you do with those soft punches? Everyone, pair up in twos and step out. Ren Ying, help keep an eye on them. Those who pass, do the move fifty times; those who don't, a hundred times."

"B-but, Boss, was what we did just now considered a pass?" Lin Hongbin asked with a pained expression.

"You two... two hundred times. No lunch until it's done." Xiaofan said, then turned and moved on to another training group.

Li San and Lei Xiaolei seemed to be discussing how to develop a training plan for the newcomers.

"You guys go help oversee them. I'm heading over to the medical department for a bit." It was mentioned before that he needed to help teach some Silver Needle Hemostasis techniques to people in the medical department. He received a notice this morning saying that three people had memorized the acupuncture points within a week.

Not too many people were needed for this. After Xiaofan taught two or three people, they could pass it on.

"Xiaofan, Han Shengjun and Li Kuo have been acting mysteriously these past two days, what are they up to?" Li San inquired.

"Han Shengjun? Grandpa Fan called for him, saying that the bombs he made were very suitable for carry-on battles, small but powerful, and wanted mass production. So he asked him to make some samples. It seems while making samples, he got some new ideas and is researching new bombs. Li Kuo is over in the intelligence department, I have no idea what he's up to. But whenever he returns to the dorm, he's all secretive working on his computer. Some of it I can understand, some of it I really can't figure out." Xiaofan explained slowly.

"What about Shen Zuimo? I haven't seen her come to you for three days now." Li San further asked.

"Not sure, I'll ask her tonight during hot pot. I'm heading off for now."

To be honest, when has Shen Zuimo ever actively sought out Xiaofan? Never, not even after their last outing together. Their relationship hadn't progressed any further, and Xiaofan had been pretty busy lately, continually guiding newcomers and maintaining peak physical condition, so he hadn't taken the initiative to seek out Shen Zuimo either.

Actually, now Shen Zuimo would occasionally pause when passing by this training hall, but it seemed like everyone had learned about everything she could teach them. If she came again, she wouldn't know what excuse to use. So she simply went to train on her own.

But ever since spending a period of time with Xiaofan and the others, training alone now felt unusually boring. Besides her routine physical training, she couldn't find more ways to enhance her abilities. And after clearing her meridians last time, she clearly felt the solidification of her strength and her control becoming more adept.

However, from the start, she was alone. Now, it's still just her alone.

"Zuimo......."

Today, as she finished training and was about to head back, a voice called out to her. In the entire Yanhuang Soul, only three people would call her that: her brother, Fan Lingtian, and that reckless Ye Xiaofan, who called her that despite being told countless times not to, always acting like they shared an intimate relationship.

His presumptuousness was really intolerable.

"Why did you come over here for no reason?"

"Ah? I was just passing by, preparing to, um, prepare..."

Passing by? Training hall and the medical department in the Freshman Area don't pass by Shen Zuimo's dorm at all, yet this guy deliberately took a detour, calling it 'passing by.'

"Oh." With that, Shen Zuimo prepared to return to her dorm. Rest a bit and lunch would be ready.

"So, um, are you free tonight?"

"For what?"

"Hot pot..."

"Not interested."

"I bought crabs. The kind from last time..."

The footsteps suddenly halted. Alright, the cold beauty is a foodie, hard to refuse delicious food. At least those crabs were indeed very tasty.
