Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 36 If it hurts, just tell me to stop, and I can be a little gentler.

The next day, Chenshi.

Li Wudao arrived at the training ground as promised.

By this time, many disciples had arrived and were practicing martial arts on the arena.

He stood at the edge, took out a communication jade slip, and was about to ask a question.

The next moment, a familiar female voice came from not far away.

Li Wudao turned his head and was surprised to see Jiang Churan waving at him.

"Here—"

The girl stood in front of the arena, her legs long and slender, her body graceful and delicate, her eyes like water, attracting the attention of everyone present.

There were clearly many empty arenas around.

However, these disciples spontaneously gathered around Jiang Churan, their eyes frequently falling on her, their faces showing admiration.

Li Wudao couldn't help but sigh, the appeal of beautiful women is indeed great.

Indeed, Jiang Churan's appearance is top-notch, and her temperament is ethereal.

Even though he had seen all kinds of beautiful women with advanced technology in his previous life, his heart was still stirred and he found it difficult to remain completely calm.

"Junior Sister Jiang is truly the center of attention; she's always the center of attention wherever she goes."

Li Wudao stepped forward and made a few sarcastic remarks.

As a result, he was met with a speechless look from the girl, "If you tease me again, I won't bother teaching you."

Li Wudao smiled awkwardly and apologized in a low voice.

"Time is limited, and I still need to cultivate later. Today, I'll just teach you some practical combat techniques."

Jiang Churan arrived at the center of the arena and got straight to the point.

"Your comprehension is exceptional, and you don't need my guidance in martial arts training. However, the key to victory in actual combat is often not the strength of your martial arts skills..."

Jiang Churan spoke calmly and eloquently, and every smile and gesture of hers was absolutely beautiful.

Li Wudao didn't care at first, he was only focused on admiring the beautiful scenery.

But as the girl explained, his expression gradually changed, and he became quite surprised.

He had assumed that Jiang Churan only knew a little bit about the basics and might not even be as good as him.

To everyone's surprise, every word the other party uttered was profound, as if it came from the mouth of a powerful expert who had cultivated for many days, and was full of genuine insights.

"Xiao Jiang, where did you get these insights from?"

Li Wudao jokingly tried to elicit information from the other party.

He was puzzled. The other party hadn't cultivated at all in the past few years. He had been doing odd jobs in the Prince's mansion. How could he have had time to fight with people?

Hearing the name "Xiao Jiang"...

Jiang Churan frowned slightly, but did not correct her, saying indifferently:

"These were all taught by the sect leader and are the experiences of the sect's predecessors."

"Oh~"

Li Wudao nodded seriously and didn't ask any further questions.

He always felt that Jiang Churan had some secrets, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with her.

"Don't waste time, let's start the fight now. I will suppress you to the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm first, to test your physical strength and martial arts skills."

Jiang Churan was casual, extending one hand to signal Li Wudao to begin, looking relaxed.

"Are you sure you want to suppress your cultivation level and fight me hand-to-hand? Maybe you should just forget it..."

Li Wudao shrugged, looking hesitant, unsure how to persuade him.

He is, after all, a Pure Yang Saint Body, with unparalleled physical strength, making him virtually invincible among those of the same realm.

Seeing how lazy the boy was, even more so than she was.

Jiang Churan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. This guy was actually more pretentious than her?

He must be taught a lesson.

"If it hurts later, just tell me to stop, and I can be gentler."

The girl clenched her fists, her lips curving slightly, and her face, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, revealed a rare hint of cunning.

"Okay...okay."

Li Wudao's vision went black; he sensed something was off about what was being said.

Just as he was speaking,

A gust of wind from a punch suddenly rushed towards my face, making my eyes feel cold.

At the last possible moment, Li Wudao narrowly escaped unharmed.

"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship, I'm not ready yet."

The boy was frustrated and muttered complaints.

"Hmph, who will fight you fairly in a real battle? What happened just now was an appetizer. You dodged it, so you must have some skill."

Jiang Churan snorted coldly, her flawless chin slightly raised.

"cut--"

Li Wudao was dissatisfied.

"I just wasn't ready, and they say you shouldn't hit someone in the face. Do you know that you almost ruined my handsome face just now?"

He said this without batting an eye.

"........"

Jiang Churan was speechless, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she said calmly, "I have never seen such a shameless person."

With that, she deftly swung her hand and struck out with her palm once more.

"Come on then, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Li Wudao remained unfazed and raised his fist to meet the attack.

The next instant, fists and palms collided.

Just heard a muffled sound.

The two figures separated immediately upon contact, both staggering back several steps.

"this--"

Jiang Churan's eyes flickered with surprise.

This palm strike used seven-tenths of its strength; an ordinary Blood Transformation Realm Perfection cultivator would not be able to catch it so easily.

What surprised her most was that

Li Wudao took five steps back, while she took six!

This means that the opponent's physical strength has surpassed that of most Blood Refining Realm martial artists.

"That's interesting. Now I'm going to put in some effort."

Jiang Churan has a beautiful appearance, a slender neck, and lively eyes, just like the fairy maiden from the moon palace that Li Wudao imagined.

But ironically, what the other person said made him fantasize, easily shattering his illusions.

"This little girl really knows how to lead people astray..."

Li Wudao's eyes were strange, and combined with what he had said not long ago, it was really easy for him to misunderstand.

Suddenly.

A strong gust of wind blew past my ears.

"You dare to get distracted during a battle? You're asking for a beating!"

Jiang Churan used her footwork technique, moving gracefully like the wind, and her slender, jade-like leg kicked out to the side, landing behind the boy in an instant.

Spicy balls!

Li Wudao felt a chill run down his spine. He blamed the little maid for misleading his Daoist heart and causing him to lose his mind.

Now it's too late for him to dodge.

"puff--"

Instantly, Li Wudao felt a tremendous force at his waist, which sent him flying.

Fortunately, he was physically strong and reacted quickly, managing to regain his balance and avoid a horrible fall.

"Damn it, I was careless and didn't dodge!"

Li Wudao was indignant.

Sure enough, beautiful women can easily make things go wrong.

"Huh? You're all alright?"

Jiang Churan's eyes narrowed slightly; Li Wudao's performance was somewhat unexpected.

He was completely unharmed after that kick; his face wasn't red, his breath wasn't even out of breath, and his breathing was as steady as an old dog's.

"Little Churan, you made the first move just now, it's my turn now."

Li Wudao planned to get his revenge.

He was wise and sagacious throughout his two lifetimes; he could not possibly lose to a mere little girl.

"Hmph, then make your move."

Jiang Churan held her head high, looking somewhat arrogant, without the slightest fear.

Upon seeing this, something stirred within Li Wudao.

Wow, you're pretty tough.

He secretly cursed in his heart.

A delicate little girl like this, if he slaps her, she'll probably cry for a long time, right?

"Kaka——"

Li Wudao clenched his fist, and a popping sound like popping beans rang out from between his bones.

An invisible aura gathered and emanated.

In an instant, the handsome young man seemed to have become a different person, exuding an indescribable sense of power in every gesture.

With her keen eyesight, Jiang Churan naturally noticed something extraordinary. Her pupils contracted slightly, and her heart trembled.

"Is this the blood energy that someone at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm can possess?"

She could sense an incomparably powerful blood energy emanating from Li Wudao from afar, as fierce as a demonic beast, extremely powerful.

"Little Jiang, I'm returning those words to you..."

Li Wudao cracked his fist, strode forward, and laughed:

"If it hurts later, just tell me to stop, and I'll be gentler."
