128: Ancient physical skills - Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

"Bruce, that's enough."

Caesar's golden eyes radiated a divine glow, making one involuntarily want to worship him.

He pointed at Han Feng, then at Xu Jingzhe, and said, "I look forward to a battle with you both."

"Especially you, a member of the Han Family, a descendant of a top-tier major family in Nüwa City; I wonder how many of my punches you can withstand."

Caesar spoke these words naturally, with an incomparable self-confidence in his own strength.

Han Feng smiled, gentle and refined.

The Adam Five left, and the fierce confrontation ended there, leaving many secretly disappointed.

Qin Shuang expressed her thanks, and the two squads departed.

Due to the varying distances, some competition squads arrived early, while others arrived late.

Old Peter led the Qin Zhan Wushuang Squad into the dormitory area, where each person had their own room, accessible only by their own ID card.

After putting their things away, they all gathered in Qin Shuang's room.

Girls are indeed girls; in just a short while, the room was filled with a pleasant fragrance.

Zheng Peng hung his head, standing to the side.

His right arm was still aching faintly.

"Are you okay?" Qin Shuang asked.

"I, I'm fine."

Zheng Peng froze, thinking Qin Shuang was concerned about him, but when he looked up and saw her eyes resting on Xu Jingzhe, he realized he had been overthinking.

Xu Jingzhe shook his head.

"It's nothing."

"What do you think of the Adam Five?"

Qin Shuang sat on a chair, her slender legs straight.

"Very strong!"

"I had seen their clones before and marveled at how they were stronger than the average person. Now, seeing the real bodies, the impression is that among the five, there is not a single weakness."

"They are like an iron barrel, seamless, with no flaws."

Qin Shuang touched her smooth forehead with her slender hand, feeling troubled.

Although the Han and Qin families had allied to target the Adam Five, that was something for the latter half of the competition.

If they were targeted by the Adam Five early on and wasted a significant amount of time and energy, it would be difficult to make it far.

"This is my fault; I'll go cut my hair in a while."

Zheng Peng, having been knocked back by Bruce's punch, realized the gap in their strength and didn't want to drag down the whole squad because of his red hair.

"A real man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Let them jump around for a few days," Yang Shuang said, leaning against the table with a dark expression.

If word of this gets out, who wouldn't ridicule their squad?

But when faced with the choice between mockery and survival, everyone knows what to choose.

"Go get some rest."

Qin Shuang didn't say anything more.

Regardless of whether Zheng Peng cut his red hair or not, as the captain, she had to support him.

"You stay, I have something to tell you," Qin Shuang said, stopping Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe paused.

In the room?

"Shall we talk outside?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"Right here."

The other three left tactfully.

At the door, Zheng Peng paused and looked back at Qin Shuang, but her face was expressionless, showing no emotion.

A man and a woman alone in a room easily led to all sorts of wild associations.

"Are you really okay?" Qin Shuang asked again.

"I'm fine. If I couldn't even block one punch from Bruce, why would I even bother participating in this competition?"

"That's true."

Qin Shuang's gaze softened.

She rose from the chair, walked over to Xu Jingzhe, and asked with a lingering gaze, "Are you really a seed from the Nüwa District?"

Xu Jingzhe scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It's a secret."

Qin Shuang tapped Xu Jingzhe's forehead and said, like a Little Girl acting spoiled, "You little rascal, keeping secrets from me?"

"Don't leave tonight. Stay and keep me company, okay?"

Suddenly, Xu Jingzhe had goosebumps all over, and his hair stood on end.

This Qin Shuang was trying to devour him!

"Sister Shuang, to be honest, I have..."

Qin Shuang placed her index finger on Xu Jingzhe's lips and said, "If I snatch it, it belongs to me."

"Giggle~" Qin Shuang laughed like silver bells.

"Sister was just teasing you."

Immediately, she hid the trace of disappointment in her eyes and said seriously, "The Adam Five have very strong comprehensive capabilities, especially in terms of their physical bodies; they completely crush our squad."

"Currently, regardless of cultivation, just in terms of physical toughness, you can compete with Xu Zhu."

"Therefore, I will teach you an Old Art body technique."

"This technique can only be practiced by those with a strong physique and abundant vitality; ordinary people who try to practice it will not be able to withstand it and will explode and die."

Xu Jingzhe was shocked and asked, "There's such a powerful body technique? It must be very precious!"

Qin Shuang smiled awkwardly.

"To be honest, it's quite useless."

Xu Jingzhe: "..."

"This Old Art body technique is not some earth-shattering Ancient Battle Skill. It has very high requirements for the practitioner's physical strength, and it is very difficult to master."

"To this day, no disciple of the Qin Family has met the physical requirements, so no one has practiced it."

"Now that we've encountered the Adam Five so early, Zheng Peng has lost his spirit, and Yang Shuang isn't suited for physical combat, so I have to rely on you."

Xu Jingzhe nodded, not refusing this time.

Compared to the Adam Five, the only areas where he wasn't at a disadvantage were his physical toughness and the energy stored within his cells.

"This body technique is called Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Legend has it that if one can practice it to the extreme, a single person's attack would be like that of eight people—truly terrifying."

"Remember it well!"

"First form, Dongbin Draws Sword."

"Second form, Zhongli Flick Snow."

"Third form, Han Xiangzi Seizes Wrist and Strikes Chest."

"Fourth form, Caihe Inserts Flower."

"Fifth form, Celestial Maiden's Drunken Steps."

"Eighth form, Tieguai Li Lying Scissors Leg."

Qin Shuang demonstrated it once, explained the mental cultivation methods and tips to Xu Jingzhe, and said, "I am only demonstrating its form, not its spirit; it's completely for show. Without a strong physical body to support the strikes, it's impossible to manifest its terrifying power."

Xu Jingzhe stood still, his eyes replaying every move Qin Shuang had just made, over and over again.

"Did you remember it all?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

System: "Ding, of course. This body technique is indeed quite good and very suitable for you right now."

"It's domineering, powerful, and relentless. If you practice it daily, even without consuming bacteria, the strength of your bones and internal organs will improve."

"Thank you, Sister Shuang," Xu Jingzhe said, sincerely grateful.

Regardless of how the Qin Family intended to utilize him, this Old Art body technique was, at the very least, a tangible benefit.

"Take this time to practice well," Qin Shuang said with a smile, stretching her body, her curves fully displayed.

The buttons of her white shirt had somehow come undone, revealing skin as smooth as congealed fat, white enough to glow.

Seeing Qin Shuang's gaze turn ambiguous again and her clothes in disarray, Xu Jingzhe immediately said, "Sister Shuang, I won't disturb your rest any further."

With that, he turned and left in a hurry.

"Hmph~" Qin Shuang clenched her fist, grinding her teeth.

"Clearly quite large, yet cowardly as a mouse."

Not long after Xu Jingzhe left, the gap in the door next door opened wider.

Zheng Peng's eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy and anger; Lu Fei had stayed in Qin Shuang's room for a full hour!

Qin Shuang was his goddess!

He had liked her for a full ten years!

In that hour, what could a man and a woman alone possibly have been doing?

Seeing him rush out just now, it looked exactly like he had done something unspeakable and was worried about being caught!

Zheng Peng's heart... shattered.
