100: Chapter 100 Redundant Combat Power and Teacher Su's Little Secrets

"Xiao Zhuo and I will definitely reach Rank 30, but you, sister, will likely still be at 37."

"Why?"

"Because your appetite isn't as good as mine. Even if Xiao Zhuo stuffed you with more Corrosion Energy, you couldn't take it in." As she spoke, the food was already out of the pan, and she continued:

"Alright, alright, all these dishes need to be covered with energy-locking covers, or the Corrosion Energy inside will dissipate before we even eat."

"That's not good."

Teacher Su, who was rinsing the pot, suddenly turned back. "What?"

Big Teacher Su quickly stepped back. "The water from your pot splashed all over me~"

"It didn't splash on you, did it? What did you just say? What's not good?"

"I said leveling up like you guys is not good. Have you ever seen pigs on a farm? You're just like pigs raised on a farm, gaining fat without exercising. No matter how much you eat, it just turns into fat, just being chubby. It's different for cattle and horses; they eat a lot and exercise a lot, so what they grow is muscle, which is strong."

"Oh, so you actually dare to call Xiao Zhuo and me pigs?"

Big Teacher Su quickly stepped back. "Hey, hey, the oil on your spatula splashed on me. This time it really splashed on me."

"Hmph!" Teacher Su stuck the spatula back into the pot. "Who told you to call Xiao Zhuo and me pigs?"

"I was just using an analogy. You guys are leveling up too fast; if you can't digest it in time, it will form combat power redundancy. It's like a person eating too much and exercising too little—all the energy turns into fat stored in the body. Eventually, it will become a burden on yourself and cause all kinds of uncertain dangers."

"Is what you're saying true?" Teacher Su put a shred of ginger into the pot and tested the oil temperature. She was just about to ask her sister to bring the fish to be fried, but before she could speak, Big Teacher Su handed over the marinated fish. "Would I lie to you about something like this?"

"Then how come I don't know?"

"You're not a teacher."

"Hmm?"

"You teach language, you're not a martial arts teacher."

"Hmph! Don't get cocky. Do you think your talent is that great? Do you know what's above Heaven Rank High Grade? Let me tell you, you think your Heaven Rank High Grade talent is the peak, but my current talent can leave you several streets behind."

"Yes, yes, yes, leave me several streets behind. That's only because Xiao Zhuo helped you."

"You know?"

"I could guess it. With your previous talent, would Xiao Zhuo have taken a liking to you?"

"Hmph? Don't think that just because you're my sister, I wouldn't dare to beat you up."

As she spoke, Teacher Su's gaze toward Big Teacher Su suddenly became sharp, and a corrosion crystal floated out of thin air before her eyes.

"See that?"

Big Teacher Su looked at the floating corrosion crystal in shock. "You have a telekinesis skill? Aren't you Xiao Zhuo's Main Battle War Princess?"

Main Battle War Princesses do not have their own skills.

"Telekinesis?" Teacher Su rolled her eyes at her. "Ignorant. Watch closely."

After she finished speaking, the corrosion crystal followed her gaze, flew out through a crack in the window, and accurately hit a camphor tree in someone else's yard fifty meters away. With a "bang," the bowl-thick tree trunk was instantly blown to pieces.

Big Teacher Su habitually wanted to wipe her glasses to take a closer look, but realized she wasn't wearing them. Only then did she take out her glasses, put them on, stared for a long while, then suddenly turned back to Teacher Su and said:

"You, aren't you Xiao Zhuo's Main Battle War Princess? This skill just now required spiritual energy, right?"

"Tch, making a fuss over nothing." Teacher Su continued to stir-fry her dishes.

I wouldn't tell her that this was a talent skill born after I promoted to Imperial Rank talent. If it's to be told, that kid Xiao Zhuo should be the one to say it.

With five simple dishes and one soup prepared, Teacher Su untied her apron and handed it to Big Teacher Su. "Here, you rinse the pot."

"Got it, go call Xiao Zhuo out for dinner."

Teacher Su came to the dining room, set the soup down, and ran to Yun Zhuo's bedroom. Without knocking, she gently pushed the door open a crack to peek inside, wondering what this kid was doing staying in the room alone.

"What are you doing acting sneaky? Is dinner ready?" Teacher Su hadn't seen where he was yet; looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the little brat Yun Zhuo on the small balcony outside the fluttering curtains, sitting by a small table and looking at her with a smile.

"What are you doing hiding there?" Teacher Su didn't mind being caught in the act; she pushed the door open generously and walked toward Yun Zhuo.

"It's not me, why did you blow up someone else's tree for no reason? You gave me a fright."

Teacher Su smiled slightly, walked up, and took Yun Zhuo's hand. "Alright, alright, let's eat. By the way, are those crystals and runes synthesized?"

"Here~" Yun Zhuo flipped his palm, and a Level 3 crystal and a rune appeared in his hand.

"Is this a Level 3 crystal that increases attack power? Then what is this rune?"

"20% Corrosion Energy absorption."

"How much did the synthesis cost?"

"Eighty or ninety thousand, I didn't count it precisely."

"Eighty or ninety thousand plus the one hundred thousand spent buying these fragments—at least a 90% gross profit margin. Xiao Zhuo, your skills are impressive."

"What do you want to buy?" Yun Zhuo looked at her suspiciously.

"Do you know? I actually saw an Energy Gathering Array on Liebao, similar to this small villa's, for three billion each, with an effective area of 150 square meters."

"You want to move out? Did you just have an argument with your sister?"

"No, it's just not convenient, is it? Think about it, we were almost caught by my sister before."

Yun Zhuo laughed: "Having your sister around is good for curing your bad habits."

"What bad habits do I have?"

"Lechery."

"Heh, you've got guts, kid, actually daring to call me lecherous. Sister cherishes you; don't be ungrateful."

"Is that so? Then dare you let me see your browser history?"

"Hmm? No." Teacher Su guiltily covered her bracelet. "You are infringing on my personal privacy, do you know that?"

"What type do you usually like to watch?"

"I usually..." A look of reminiscence just appeared in her eyes, but she suddenly realized. "I don't usually watch that messy stuff."

Worried that Yun Zhuo would keep asking, she quickly changed the subject: "By the way, sister just told me she wants to form a pact with you. Will you agree?"

"She told you that?"

"Yeah, don't overthink it, it's just a normal pact."

"You agreed?"

"Why wouldn't I agree to something that benefits you?"

"Alright then." Yun Zhuo nodded.

Teacher Su pressed further: "Then will you help her upgrade her talent?"

"Upgrading talent will automatically convert the pact into a death pact."

Teacher Su was stunned for a moment. "Oh, alright, alright, let's go out and eat."

She was conflicted now about whether or not to help her sister upgrade her talent. But hearing Yun Zhuo's meaning, her sister has the potential to upgrade her talent, but it would convert the pact into a death pact. Yun Zhuo had only just fallen into her hands, and she hadn't even warmed up to him yet; this made her somewhat reluctant.

Yun Zhuo, coming out of the bedroom, was startled by Big Teacher Su at the doorway. "Teacher Su, you nearly scared me to death. Good thing your clothes are different, otherwise, I would have thought I saw a ghost."

Big Teacher Su was slightly stunned, her face blushing as she said: "Th-that, I saw you hadn't come out yet and wanted to call you out to eat, and also..."

When Big Teacher Su said this, she cautiously looked behind Yun Zhuo. She wanted to ask when Yun Zhuo would form the pact, and she didn't know if her sister had told him that she had already agreed.

Women, after all, have to be a bit reserved. She couldn't let this kid know that she was eager to form a pact with him, or who knows how he would mock her in the future.

Teacher Su walked out and said: "If you want to form a pact, do it quickly, don't be such dawdlers."

"Don't we need an azure essence stone?" Big Teacher Su asked.

Teacher Su glanced at Yun Zhuo and said with a look of disdain: "This kid doesn't need one." But when she turned to look at her sister, she had a look of pride on her face, because the man she had her eyes on was very capable.
