Sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes tightly shut, Xiao Yifeng’s mind was immersed in the comprehension of the Sky-breaking Trio. Previously, in that illusionary realm where he saw the Witch God personally demonstrating the Sky-breaking Trio, Xiao Yifeng gained many insights.
As long as he could completely digest these insights and make them his own, Xiao Yifeng believed he would be able to successfully execute the Sky-breaking Trio.
In another room, Little Xue sat on the bed with an expression that was ferocious and distorted, her eyes weaving together two different looks, as if two souls were vying for control of her body.
"No matter who you are, I won’t let you take over my body!"
Little Xue said firmly.
"This body is originally mine. You are nothing but an anomalous soul. Had I not been injured and fallen into a deep slumber, how could you have come into existence!"
This Little Xue spoke in a voice that was both noble and icy cold, the tone exuding ample pride and dominance, as she emanated an extremely cold aura, resembling that of the Ice Snow Empress.
Little Xue bit her lip hard, her hands clutching her head as she shook it continuously.
Unaware of these events, Xiao Yifeng had by now fallen into deep meditation.
The next day, Xiao Yifeng drove towards the Ye Corporation but on the way, he saw a policewoman in pursuit of a man—It was Xiao Ruolin, who he had not seen for a long time, and it appeared that she was chasing a criminal.
A dull sound suddenly erupted. It turned out that the man Xiao Ruolin was chasing had suddenly dashed in front of Xiao Yifeng’s car, and with a light tap on the accelerator, Xiao Yifeng sent the unfortunate fellow flying several meters away, where he lay twitching on the ground.
Xiao Ruolin was also stunned by this scene, she glanced at Xiao Yifeng’s car and upon seeing Xiao Yifeng step out, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Miss Xiao, have I just hit someone? Am I going to be in trouble?"
Xiao Yifeng exaggeratedly exclaimed.
Xiao Ruolin walked over to the man, gave him a quick check, and said, "Relax, he’s not dead. Plus, he’s an escapee, so you won’t be in any trouble. However, you do need to come back to the station with me to file a report."
"There’s no need for that, I’m in a hurry to get to work!"
Xiao Yifeng complained with a grimace.
"It’s a must, otherwise I’ll have to arrest you!"
Xiao Ruolin declared resolutely.
Subsequently, Xiao Yifeng had no choice but to follow Xiao Ruolin to the city bureau.
After completing his statement, however, Xiao Ruolin took him to a training room.
"Why have you brought me here? Don’t tell me you’re planning to do something inappropriate to me."
Xiao Yifeng looked nervously at Xiao Ruolin, his arms unconsciously wrapping around his body, like a virtuous woman about to be violated.
Xiao Ruolin gave Xiao Yifeng an annoyed glare and retorted, "With your martial arts skills being so impressive, I wanted you to teach me so that I can quickly improve my own strength."
"You want to learn martial arts from me? Why?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Xiao Ruolin with a startled expression.
"Because I have a contest tomorrow!"
Xiao Ruolin said outright.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes showed a touch of puzzled curiosity.
"After the incident last time, Deputy Director Sun Ping was dismissed, and his position was taken over by the former chief of the criminal police. The director originally wanted me to take over as chief, but then someone from a powerful clan in Yanjing was parachuted into the position. Apparently, he’s the scion of some strong family there,"
Xiao Ruolin spoke with resentment, her eyes showing a trace of discontent.
"You’re not going to have a contest with this new chief of the criminal police, are you?"
"Exactly. Ever since that guy became chief, he’s been harassing me under the guise of his authority, wanting me to be his woman. I finally couldn’t stand it and told him that if he wants me to be his woman, he has to beat me first."
Xiao Ruolin said gravely.
"Is he that good at martial arts?"
"Hmm, I’ve seen him make a move, and he’s indeed very strong, stronger than me by quite a bit, probably possessing the power of Dark Energy."
Xiao Yifeng smiled lightly and said, "You’re just at the late stage of Ming strength, while they’ve already reached Dark Energy. Besides, you’re going to compete tomorrow, and even if I taught you, I’m afraid you still wouldn’t win. You’re not an unrivaled genius who can have an epiphany overnight and become a strong one!"
"Is there no other way?"
Xiao Ruolin’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.
"Well...if it were anyone else, there would definitely be no way, but luckily you’ve met me."
Xiao Yifeng said with an amused smile.
Xiao Ruolin stared at Xiao Yifeng.
"Take this pill, and I’ll help you become a Dark Energy expert!"
Xiao Yifeng took out a Tempering Pill and handed it to Xiao Ruolin, who looked at the elixir with a hint of intrigue in her eyes.
"Is this elixir really effective?"
"If you don’t believe it, forget it!"
Xiao Yifeng said, about to take back the elixir, but Xiao Ruolin quickly grabbed it.
Afterward, Xiao Ruolin followed Xiao Yifeng’s instructions, took the elixir, and sat cross-legged on the ground. Xiao Yifeng ran his cultivation to help her digest the Tempering Pill’s effects faster, while also using the power of Starforce to open up the meridians in her body, allowing her power to increase faster.
Several hours later, Xiao Ruolin’s body had exuded a layer of black, sticky impurities. Her entire body had been tempered and, with the help of Xiao Yifeng’s Starforce, her strength had directly broken through the peak of Ming strength and Great Perfection, finally making a breakthrough to Dark Energy.
Xiao Ruolin’s eyes opened, a sharp glint fleeting, and her whole demeanor had changed.
"I’ve really broken through to Dark Energy?"
Feeling the power within her body that had grown tens of times stronger, Xiao Ruolin’s eyes filled with shock, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Now do you believe what I said?"
Xiao Yifeng exhaled a breath of turbid air and spoke with a smile.
"Ah, what is this stuff?"
Xiao Ruolin saw the layer of impurities on her body and her complexion changed.
"That’s the impurities that have been expelled from your body. Go clean yourself up."
Xiao Yifeng suggested.
"Wait here for a moment!"
Xiao Ruolin said and then left the place.
Xiao Yifeng found a place to sit down.
At this moment, a male voice rang out. A young man dressed in a police uniform, gallant and tall, with a handsome face, walked in, exuding an intangible aura.
Xiao Yifeng casually glanced at the man, who also looked at Xiao Yifeng, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Who are you? Where’s Ruolin?"
The young man approached Xiao Yifeng and asked solemnly.
"She’s taking a shower!"
Xiao Yifeng replied indifferently.
The young man frowned and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why are you here? What’s your relationship with Ruolin?"
"Who are you, and do I have to tell you?"
