After that, the three talked for a while more before Yao Jiamu came sauntering in. After just a few days, his entire demeanor had changed from one of a brash youngster that knew nothing of fear to someone that could be called a mature and reliable man.

Upon seeing Gu Xiqiao, his serious expression turned back to one of a youngster as he waved at her. “You’re back!”

“She’s here to fight you!” Without waiting for Gu Xiqiao to speak, Wu Hongwen immediately shouted and looked at the other boy with a scheming expression. He had been bullied by the other so much in all these days and there was finally someone that could take revenge for him. How could he let this chance go?

Hearing his words, Yao Jiamu’s gaze was filled with an expectant, anticipating gleam.

He had only discovered some of the wonders of the martial arts book that Gu Xiqiao had given him, and he felt as if he had become worlds apart from how he was in the past. He had become the second-in-command of a small triad with his fighting skills, and he continued to amass his connections and resources. His dream wasn’t to just be a small second-in-command, after all.

He planned to become the greatest boss of the underworld in N City and take over the place of the boss that was in the position right now! If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have such lofty desires, but now that he had the fantastic Firefly illusion Record, he would use it to expand his influence!

Gu Xiqiao turned over and raised her eyebrows. “Are you sure you want to fight?”

“Yes!” Yao Jiamu nodded seriously. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to beat her, of course, but he just wanted to see what the difference between them was.

“Alright, I won’t go all out, don’t worry. “Gu Xiqiao realized that she would be taking too much advantage if she used a weapon. “Let’s just go easy, yes?”

The two came to the middle of the arena while Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen spectated, and their expression changed like so: Seriousness—Disbelief—Twitching lips—Numbness.

It was a completely one-sided battle, where Gu Xiqiao stood there in place and only counterattacked with her palms against Yao Jiamu’s fists, her lower body so firm on the floor that it seemed to be rooted there, while Yao Jiamu was repelled and fell onto upon impact.

As he did, Gu Xiqiao grabbed one of his arms and smacked a palm right onto his head with a smile, and the punishment-teaching session went on for a while as she commented with a smile, “Not enough power, your feet aren’t grabbing the ground well, you look like you’re daydreaming…”

With each comment, Yao Jiamu was twisted to correct his form and smacked in punishment, until he kneeled onto the ground in defeat, his hair matted with sweat and his expression twisting as he felt indescribable pain.

Standing in front of him was a girl with clear eyes whose jet-black hair moved with the breeze, and from a distance, she might have looked like she came right out of a shoujo manga… If it weren’t for the heaping pile of Yao Jiamu in front of her.

Wu Hongwen clamped his mouth shut after it had become agape as he was watching Yao Jiamu being punished. “Thank goodness that wasn’t me.”

“It actually felt quite nice when I first looked at it, but…” Xiao Yun trailed off, but she continued internally, ‘I’m actually quite sympathetic towards him now…”

Yao Jiamu didn’t hear what the two were saying nor would he have cared if he did. Now, he only felt a strange, unfamiliar surge of energy flowing in his body from bottom to top, and for a second, he felt as if he were wrapped in a warm blanket, and in the next, he felt another surge of pain.
