34: Is there anything you like in Chapter 34?

Pedestrian street, evening time.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way, buying quite a few things.

Of course, it was mainly Jiang Qingyao who was buying, and Shen Xingchen's body was hung with various shopping bags of all sizes.

As Shen Xingchen walked, he suddenly asked, "Would you like to eat some ice cream?"

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Qingyao was already wilting from the heat.

After receiving the response, Shen Xingchen lined up in front of the Mixue Ice Cream shop.

Because summer was approaching, even though the sun was about to set, it was still sultry and hot, and the queue in front of Mixue Ice Cream was very long.

Shen Xingchen had no other choice and could only queue from the beginning.

Jiang Qingyao wanted to follow, but Shen Xingchen indicated there was no need, so she went to sit in the shade to rest.

Just as Jiang Qingyao found a spot and sat down,

a maturely-dressed boy approached her. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, was gorgeously dressed, and gave off quite the vibe of a refined scum.

"Hello beauty, are you by yourself?" the boy with gold-rimmed glasses asked.

Jiang Qingyao looked up and glanced at the person, frowning slightly. Unwilling to pay attention to this strange male, she just said coldly, "Something the matter?"

Without Shen Xingchen by her side, Jiang Qingyao instantly recovered the appearance of a cold goddess.

The boy with gold-rimmed glasses didn't expect this beauty to be so indifferent, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's nothing much, just that if you're also alone, we can hang out together and make friends!"

Jiang Qingyao calmly spoke, "Not interested!"

As if he hadn't heard Jiang Qingyao's rejection, the boy with gold-rimmed glasses continued, "My name is Sun Peng, and I'm a sophomore student at Qiunan Martial Arts University..."

Qiunan Martial Arts University could be considered a provincial key university; one needed to rank within the top 50,000 in the province to have any hope of admission.

He felt that such achievements were already dazzling enough to attract some naive young girls who hadn't seen much of the world.

Before the boy could finish speaking, Jiang Qingyao interrupted, "I said, not interested!"

Seeing that this woman showed him no respect at all, the gold-rimmed glasses man named Sun Peng changed his tone as well, "What are you putting on airs for?"

Jiang Qingyao gave Sun Peng a cold glare.

With an unhappy expression, Sun Peng joked, "You're so pretty, there must be a lot of boys chasing you, right?"

Although this was a compliment, there was always a strange undertone to it.

It would cause people to form bad associations, for example: if there are many boys chasing you, then you must have dated a lot of boys too!

With words like this, whether a girl avoided, admitted, or denied it, it felt as disgusting as having a chamberpot dumped on her head.

It could be considered extremely presumptuous.

Jiang Qingyao coldly retorted, "What, is there someone you like in there?"

This sentence directly twisted Sun Peng's original words, giving them a distinct gay undertone.

Some people around noticed the conversation here, and their gazes towards Sun Peng became very strange.

Sun Peng's face turned red instantly.

He wore a look as if he had just eaten shit, stammering, "You, you!"

Anything he said now appeared very pale, and the more he spoke, the more attention he would attract from the surrounding people.

"If I told you to scram, then hurry up and scram. Didn't you hear?" Just at this moment, Shen Xingchen walked over, looking at Sun Peng with a malicious expression.

After all, Jiang Qingyao was a girl and wasn't good at saying crude words, but Shen Xingchen was different; he was blunt right from the start!

Seeing Shen Xingchen return, Jiang Qingyao's eyes lit up.

Sun Peng also turned his head and began to size up Shen Xingchen.

Although Shen Xingchen's appearance was extremely outstanding, he was currently wearing a middle school uniform, making it very easy for people to look down on him.

Sun Peng sneered inwardly. He was a Tier 2 student at Qiunan Martial Arts University, and facing a middle school student, a sense of superiority naturally welled up in him.

"Is this your little boyfriend? He doesn't look like much!"

Shen Xingchen's pupils were bathed in a cyan-gold light as he spoke coldly, "I'll say it again, scram!"

Due to his S-rank Talent Divine Ability, the current Shen Xingchen possessed an indescribable majesty.

Just as Sun Peng wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, he suddenly felt a wave of pressure.

His lips moved, but in the end, nothing came out.

A sarcastic smile hung on the corners of Shen Xingchen's mouth as he walked past him, pulled Jiang Qingyao up, and headed into the distance.

Sun Peng instantly felt the pressure disappear.

"Spit—"

He spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground, cursing inwardly that he had actually been bluffed by a middle school student.

Just at this moment, a middle-aged man walked up beside Sun Peng, who should be his teacher.

That middle-aged man sneered, "Do you feel like you lost face and want to retaliate?"

Sun Peng nodded.

He was just a high school student, yet he dared to make him lose face. How could he possibly let this matter go so easily?

The middle-aged man smiled derisively, "Idiot! You're only at Tier 2 Level 4, while that high school student is already at Tier 2 Level 5 at such a young age. Are you even worthy of causing trouble for him?"

"Even if you took advantage of him today, would such a young Tier 2 martial artist not have a deeper background!?"

"Before doing things, can you use your brain!?"

Sun Peng's face was filled with shock and disbelief, "Teacher, this... how is that possible!?"

How could there be such a young Tier 2 martial artist?

Thinking of his own overbearing appearance just now, Sun Peng broke out in a cold sweat.

"..."

Accompanying Jiang Qingyao shopping until very late, the two of them finally returned to the hotel.

They each returned to their own rooms.

In order to allow the students to perform better in the Six Academies Grand Competition, the temporary accommodation provided by No. 3 High School was quite good.

Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling of the room, and below was a huge round bed covered with sheets carved with exquisite patterns.

At the partition, a half-wall-sized LCD screen hung on the wall, playing promotional advertisements.

Shen Xingchen lazily lay on the bed.

He opened the system panel.

{Name: Shen Xingchen}

{Tier: Tier 2 Level 5}

{Talent Divine Ability: Tiancang Azure Dragon; (Sub-skills: Dragon Might, Life Recovery)}

{Martial Arts: [Collapsing Spear Technique] Minor Accomplishment; [Six Harmonies Golden Spear] Major Accomplishment; [Eight Desolations Dragon-Nurturing Fist] Minor Accomplishment}

{Cultivation Method: Ancestral Dragon Scripture}

{Martial Dao Points: 1500 points}

Over the past few days, he had saved up quite a few Martial Dao Points again and could learn something new.

Shen Xingchen flipped through the system records; he hadn't had time yet to learn the martial arts he had freeloaded from the city library before.

[Zhoutian Formless Sword]

This martial art was the only Earth-tier martial art Shen Xingchen had collected.

It seemed that even throughout the entire Qiunan City, Earth-tier martial arts were very rare.

This made Shen Xingchen feel that his luck was indeed quite good, to have actually found such a good thing as [Eight Desolations Dragon-Nurturing Fist] right in the reading room of No. 3 High School.

[Shattering Void Finger], [Rending Sky Fist]

Although these two sets of martial arts were Profound-tier High-grade, they both possessed extraordinary power and could create a great combination with the [Eight Desolations Dragon-Nurturing Fist].

Right now, Shen Xingchen wasn't lacking in attack power, but his martial arts were too singular, making it easy for others to target him.

[Divine Mobility Step]

Profound-tier High-grade.

This was a movement-type martial art, which Shen Xingchen urgently lacked currently. If he faced an equivalent opponent who happened to have an extraordinary movement-type martial art while he hadn't learned one, it would be easy for him to be kited.

Listing out all the options,

Shen Xingchen ultimately decided to learn [Divine Mobility Step].

If he faced a disgusting opponent whom he originally wanted to teach a lesson to, but let him run away relying on a high-grade movement martial art, how annoying would that be!

"System, add points!" Shen Xingchen shouted at the empty air.

{Congratulations to the host for using 1000 points of enlightenment value to practice the martial art [Divine Mobility Step]}

{This is an extremely profound martial art. Since the host has no experience with movement-type martial arts, learning it is very strenuous}

{The host's cultivation speed is like an old lady crawling into a blanket—dawdling and dilly-dallying. You're cracking me up}

{Although the host's talent is limited, the host works hard. After fifteen years of cultivation, [Divine Mobility Step] has successfully been cultivated to minor accomplishment. Even a Tier 2 Level 9 martial artist cannot surpass you in speed...}

"..."

This damn system's mouth is as venomous as ever.

Shen Xingchen flipped through the skill list.

The martial art representing [Divine Mobility Step] had changed from its initial gray to the current light gold, which was the standard for minor accomplishment.

Currently, only the martial art [Six Harmonies Golden Spear] had reached major accomplishment, and its corresponding icon was a rich gold, extremely cool.

"I'm still working too hard!"

Shen Xingchen sighed with emotion.

Adding points to the martial arts just now made his fingers sore!
