Rose stared.
"You’re supposed to help me."
Chi Lingxi smiled.
"I want to see Shen Tian fight."
Rose closed her eyes.
Betrayal.
. . .
Twenty minutes later.
Training grounds.
Everyone came.
Of course.
Shen Tian stood in the center.
Black training pants.
No shirt.
Again.
Rose stared.
Then...
Immediately looked away.
Chi Lingxi did not.
Tang Meilin looked once.
Then...
Again.
Then...
Pretended she hadn’t.
Gu Qingya noticed.
Tang Meilin whispered...
"Don’t."
Gu Qingya smiled.
Ling Shuangxue crossed her arms.
Very composed.
Except...
Her eyes kept drifting.
Qin Ruobing noticed.
Then...
Her own eyes drifted.
Ling Shuangxue noticed.
Silence.
Mother and daughter looked at each other.
Then...
Both looked away.
Bai Xue saw everything.
Her smile became dangerous.
Qin Ruobing pointed.
"Don’t."
Bai Xue laughed.
. . .
Shen Yan stepped opposite Shen Tian.
Her expression changed.
No comedy.
No teasing.
Combat.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Ready?"
"Always."
Rose folded her arms.
"Rules?"
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"No Domain."
Shen Yan nodded.
"No weapons."
"Fine."
"No Dragon Authority."
"Fine."
Rose stared.
"What exactly are you using?"
Shen Tian smiled.
"Hands."
Rose sighed.
"Of course."
Then...
Shen Yan disappeared.
BOOM!
Her fist struck Shen Tian’s palm.
The training ground shook.
Several women froze.
Shen Tian twisted.
Shen Yan ducked.
His leg swept.
She jumped.
Palm.
Elbow.
Knee.
Block.
Counter.
Fast.
Very fast.
Not Shen Tian fighting a protagonist.
No killing intent.
No Fate pressure.
Pure technique.
Rose’s eyes narrowed.
She understood immediately.
"He’s limiting himself."
Lin Yue nodded.
"To her level?"
"No."
Rose watched.
"Below."
Shen Yan attacked again.
Shen Tian blocked.
Then...
Intentionally left an opening.
Shen Yan saw it.
Didn’t take it.
Instead...
She changed angle.
Shen Tian’s smile widened.
"Good."
Shen Yan struck his shoulder.
He moved half a step.
Silence.
She froze.
Then...
Smiled.
"I hit you."
"Congratulations."
"Don’t sound disappointed."
"I’m proud."
Her expression softened for half a second.
Then...
Shen Tian tapped her forehead.
She froze.
"Dead."
Her eyes widened.
"You cheated."
"How?"
"You distracted me."
"Combat."
"Brother."
"Dead."
She glared.
Everyone laughed.
. . .
Then Rose stepped forward.
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"What?"
"My turn."
His eyebrow rose.
"Thought this was vacation."
She smiled.
"Changed my mind."
Shen Tian looked toward Shen Yan.
Then...
At Rose.
"Fine."
Rose removed her jacket.
Combat shirt underneath.
She stretched.
Shen Tian watched.
Then...
Rose noticed.
"What?"
"Nothing."
She narrowed her eyes.
"Good."
Chi Lingxi immediately shouted...
"Beat him!"
Shen Tian looked offended.
"Whose girlfriend are you?"
Chi Lingxi smiled.
"Yours."
"Then why are you supporting her?"
"Because it’ll be funny."
Rose laughed.
Then...
Attacked.
. . .
Rose fought differently.
Shen Yan was direct.
Aggressive.
Powerful.
Rose was tactical.
Feints.
Angles.
Dirty tricks.
She kicked sand toward his face.
Shen Tian leaned away.
Then...
Stared.
"Really?"
Rose smiled.
"Mercenary."
She attacked low.
Shen Tian caught her wrist.
Rose twisted.
Used his grip.
Jumped.
Wrapped her legs around his waist.
Then...
Shifted her weight.
Trying to drag him down.
Silence.
Everyone stared.
Rose realized the position.
Too late.
Shen Tian looked down.
She looked up.
Their faces...
Very close.
Her cheeks became red.
Chi Lingxi’s eyes widened.
Bai Xue smiled.
Tang Meilin froze.
Chu Zijin whispered...
"Oh."
Rose immediately tried moving.
Shen Tian tightened his grip.
"Combat."
She stared.
Then...
Her embarrassment disappeared.
Mostly.
She elbowed him.
He dodged.
She twisted.
Both fell.
BOOM!
Dust.
Then...
Silence.
Shen Tian lay on his back.
Rose above him.
Her hands on his chest.
His hand around her waist.
Everyone stared.
Rose froze.
Her face became crimson.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Good technique."
She stared.
"Shut up."
"You’re winning."
"Shut up."
Chi Lingxi crossed her arms.
Then...
"Are you going to kiss him or fight him?"
Rose nearly exploded.
"CHI LINGXI."
Everyone laughed.
Rose jumped away.
Shen Tian stood.
Still smiling.
She pointed.
"This never happened."
Bai Xue already had her phone.
Rose’s face changed.
"Delete it."
Bai Xue smiled.
"No."
"Bai Xue."
"Beautiful composition."
"DELETE IT."
Bai Xue ran.
Rose chased her.
Everyone laughed.
. . .
Shen Tian watched them disappear.
Then...
Chi Lingxi stepped in front of him.
He looked down.
"What?"
"My turn."
His eyebrow rose.
"You want to fight?"
"No."
"Then?"
She smiled.
"Hug."
Then...
She wrapped her arms around him.
Silence.
Shen Tian laughed.
"That’s not training."
"It is for Sovereign’s Court."
Xu Ning appeared.
[Technically...]
Shen Tian looked toward her.
"Don’t encourage her."
Chi Lingxi smiled against his chest.
Then...
Xu Ning froze.
A notification appeared.
Sovereign’s Court Stability: 65%
Shen Tian stared.
Chi Lingxi looked up.
"What?"
He sighed.
"Apparently hugging is training."
She smiled triumphantly.
"I knew it."
Then...
Tang Meilin quietly raised her hand.
Everyone looked.
Her face became pink.
"I..."
Silence.
"Can I train too?"
Absolute silence.
Tang Meilin realized.
Then...
Her face became crimson.
"I meant fighting."
Everyone burst out laughing.
She covered her face.
"Forget it."
Shen Tian smiled.
Then...
Held out his hand.
"Come on."
Tang Meilin looked through her fingers.
"What?"
"Training."
Her cheeks remained red.
Then...
She walked forward.
. . .
Tang Meilin wasn’t a fighter.
Not really.
She had cultivation.
Training.
Basic self defense.
But compared with Rose?
Shen Yan?
Chi Lingxi?
Different world.
Shen Tian stood behind her.
"Feet wider."
She adjusted.
"Like this?"
"No."
He gently moved her foot with his.
"Here."
Her cheeks warmed.
"Hands."
She raised them.
"Too high."
He adjusted her wrists.
Tang Meilin stared straight ahead.
Trying very hard to remain normal.
Shen Tian stepped around.
"Hit me."
"What?"
"Hit me."
"I don’t want to hurt you."
Silence.
Everyone stared.
Then...
Rose returned.
Bai Xue behind her.
Rose laughed.
"Meilin."
Tang Meilin looked over.
Rose pointed toward Shen Tian.
"He was punched through four walls yesterday."
Tang Meilin froze.
"Oh."
Rose smiled.
"You’ll be fine."
Tang Meilin’s cheeks became red.
"Right."
Shen Tian held up his palm.
"Hit."
She punched.
Very lightly.
He stared.
Tang Meilin looked nervous.
"What?"
"Was that affection?"
Everyone laughed.
Her face turned crimson.
She punched harder.
Shen Tian caught it.
"Better."
Again.
She punched.
Again.
Again.
Slowly...
Her movements improved.
Then...
Shen Tian stepped closer.
Corrected her shoulder.
Her breathing stopped.
"Relax."
"I’m relaxed."
"You’re stiff."
"I’m very relaxed."
"You’re lying."
"No."
Rose smiled.
Gu Qingya looked amused.
Tang Meilin finally punched again.
Shen Tian caught her fist.
Then...
She smiled.
