79: Fighting at the dining table, practicing both magic and martial arts

Early the next morning.

A whole roasted lamb was placed on the table.

Ever since they moved into the villa, Jiang Fan's family's meals had improved significantly; breakfast was no longer just steamed buns and pickles.

Now, his Qi and blood were too vigorous, requiring a large amount of Vicious Beast meat for replenishment.

Therefore, breakfast was also a Vicious Beast meat feast.

Fortunately, although Xia Dong, Xiao Min, and the others were women, they were all Martial Artists.

Such a lavish breakfast had no effect on them.

Xia Dong had also moved in at Jiang Fan's invitation.

The original door had been blown apart, so Jiang Fan naturally couldn't let Xia Dong live alone in the old house.

Xiao Min, fulfilling her duty as a bodyguard, also temporarily stayed at Jiang Fan's home.

Bai Lin, on the other hand, arrived in the morning to have breakfast with her teacher, Qiu Nanfeng.

She also helped him out in the potion room.

Everyone was seated.

Qiu Nanfeng was distracted, his mind filled with his purification experiments:

"Brother Jiang, I've found a bit of a knack for this molecular exclusion method, but I always feel like something is missing. How about you help me take a look later?"

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat; he had just made it up, and going deeper would expose him.

So, he said calmly and confidently:

"Brother Qiu, achieving extreme purification also requires talent. If it's really not working, don't force it. 99% is already great, isn't it?"

Everyone was already accustomed to the two addressing each other as brothers and continued eating their breakfast, ignoring them.

Seeing this, Qiu Nanfeng felt depressed.

He looked at the roasted lamb in front of him, and an idea came to mind.

"Cultivating as a Spiritual Mentor also requires talent. Some people really shouldn't force it!" Qiu Nanfeng muttered.

Immediately, he controlled a knife in mid-air, and with a whoosh, it sliced off a whole rack of lamb ribs.

Then, he attached Mental Energy to the ribs and sent them to Bai Lin's plate.

"Good Disciple, these lamb ribs are best eaten while hot!" Qiu Nanfeng said.

"Thank... thank you, Teacher!" Bai Lin whispered.

How could she not see that Qiu was showing off his skills?

It was clear that he had been hit by Jiang Fan's words just now and was trying to save Face.

Meanwhile, Xiao Min and the others were shocked by this miraculous object manipulation technique.

Jiang Na: "This... this is the ability of a Spiritual Mentor?!"

Xiao Min: "If one were to fight a Spiritual Mentor, wouldn't it be impossible to guard against?!"

Xia Dong: "Like an immortal, so powerful!"

...

Qiu Nanfeng was very satisfied with everyone's reactions.

He smugly took a sip of milk, then provocatively glanced at Jiang Fan, thinking to himself:

"You little rascal, I can't possibly control you!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fan thought, "Good heavens! Is he trying to mess with me?!"

No, how could he let himself be controlled like this!

Fortunately, he had already upgraded the Basic Force Cultivation Method to Major Achievement last night, so this little matter wouldn't trouble him.

So, Jiang Fan nonchalantly manipulated a dagger.

First, it flew to the sink to be washed and disinfected.

Then, it flew back to the dining table, cut off a rib, and skillfully removed the bones from the rib.

"Sister, your hands aren't convenient, I'll help you debone it!"

With that, the deboned rib flew into Jiang Na's plate.

Everyone watched Jiang Fan's mid-air object manipulation, as if it were an extension of his arm, and for a moment, they were all stunned.

No one was surprised that Qiu possessed such a method.

After all, the title of a top Mental Power Great Grandmaster in Dragon Country was not for show.

However, Jiang Fan possessing such a method was beyond everyone's imagination.

He was a genuine Martial Artist!

And his talent in martial arts was already astonishing enough!

If he were also a Spiritual Mentor, wouldn't he be invincible?

Spiritual Mentors were invincible at long range, but often had weaker Physiques compared to Martial Artists, and once engaged in close combat, their lives would be in danger.

If this Spiritual Mentor was also a Martial Artist...

God was too unfair to people.

He not only opened a window for Jiang Fan but also removed the entire door!

Jiang Na looked at her younger brother, her Face filled with disbelief:

"You... when did you secretly learn this?! You even kept it from me?!"

Xiao Min's jaw dropped:

"Aren't you a Martial Artist? How... how can you also use a Mentor's methods?"

Her hand holding the fork trembled slightly.

Bai Lin was also stunned; she knew how difficult Spiritual Mentor Cultivation was.

This object manipulation technique depended on talent.

Someone without talent might practice their whole life and still not be able to achieve mid-air object manipulation.

Even top Genius Mentors would need half a year to initially master object manipulation.

And to reach Jiang Fan's level of proficiency, where it was as effortless as moving an arm, would require at least decades of hard work!

Xia Dong, on the other hand, was excited:

"Old Jiang, quickly teach me! If I had this ability, wouldn't I not have to bend over to put on socks?!"

Jiang Fan's mouth twitched at her words:

"Why are you calling me Old Jiang? Am I that old? And why does this ability become so common and mundane when it comes to you?!"

"Oh, you and Old Qiu call each other brothers, don't you? He's Old Qiu, so you're Old Jiang, isn't that fitting? Besides, isn't my application scenario very good?" Xia Dong said, looking completely justified.

Qiu, beside them, was completely dumbfounded.

He had only given him this Cultivation Technique two days ago.

And he had already reached such a proficient level?

This kid was truly a Prodigy!

No, how could he, a Great Grandmaster, be overshadowed by this kid!

"Kid, you're still far from it?" Qiu muttered to himself.

He controlled the knife to fly out again, breaking and deboning with a single fluid motion, like flowing clouds and water.

"Min'er, when girls eat meat, they should be particular; small bites are more elegant!"

No sooner had he spoken than the deboned lamb ribs hung motionless in the air, then the Flying Sword flashed through.

A whole lamb rib was instantly divided into nine small pieces.

The key was that the now-separated pieces of lamb still hung in the air as if they were a single entity.

This was impressive!

Originally, it was controlling one piece of meat with Mental Energy, but now it was dividing Mental Energy into nine parts to control nine pieces of meat separately!

And the control of force had to be just right to achieve such precision!

As expected of Qiu!

He could control nine objects simultaneously!

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted slightly.

If he could control nine Flying Swords simultaneously in battle, who could rival him?

Just then, Xiao Min's plate also flew towards the lamb ribs in mid-air.

Ten objects!!

No!

He couldn't let him show off like this anymore!

Jiang Fan's Mental Energy surged out, forcing the plate to stay in place.

Qiu Nanfeng frowned, his heart filled with shock:

"This kid actually has such profound Mental Energy! Although my Mental Energy is divided into ten, being able to hold the plate still shows how powerful this kid's Mental Energy is!"

The Realm division of Spiritual Mentors is the same as that of Martial Artists, from low to high: Mentor, Elite Mentor, Mental Power Great Grandmaster, Mental Power Great Grandmaster, etc.

The basis for division is the number of weapons that can be controlled simultaneously and the combat power value that each weapon can achieve.

A powerful Mental Power Great Grandmaster like Qiu Nanfeng could simultaneously control a terrifying 36 weapons.

"While eating in small bites is elegant, it's not as satisfying as eating skewers!" Jiang Fan said.

A bamboo chopstick stood vertically in the air, and the next moment, the Flying Sword flashed repeatedly, and the chopstick surprisingly split into nine.

Then, three bamboo skewers flew out, piercing the lamb meat in the air into three skewers.

The remaining six bamboo skewers fell to the ground.

Jiang Fan then manipulated the three lamb skewers to fly into Xiao Min, Xia Dong, and Bai Lin's plates, respectively.

This round of competition was clearly won by Qiu, but Jiang Fan's ability to control four objects simultaneously still shocked everyone.

"Yay, I get to eat lamb skewers!" Xia Dong's eyes darted around, then she spoke again, "You two elders, don't stop! Keep battling! That way, we just have to eat!"

Qiu's Face twitched at her words.

Although he had suppressed Jiang Fan in Mental Energy control, it was unprecedented for him, a hundred-year-old man, to be pushed to such an extent by a young whippersnapper.

"Your Mental Energy talent is decent, kid. You can barely be my Disciple." Qiu tried his best to make his words sound calm.

Xiao Min and Bai Lin's hearts trembled at his words.

This was the second time Qiu had actively offered to take Jiang Fan as his Disciple.

They couldn't lose this opportunity again!

After their repeated eye signals proved ineffective, they simultaneously resorted to physical reminders.

Thus, both of them kicked Jiang Fan's feet at the same time.

Immediately, both of Jiang Fan's feet were kicked.

Jiang Fan was stunned:

"Why are you kicking me?!"

Xia Dong, who had been devouring her food, looked up with suspicion, then anger:

"Oh, you two sisters!

First, you bat your eyelashes, then you tease with your feet!

You're using those little tricks to seduce men!"

Xiao Min and Bai Lin's Faces flushed crimson with embarrassment at her words.

Seeing this, Jiang Na quickly picked up a piece of lamb and stuffed it into Xia Dong's mouth:

"Hurry up and eat your food! So much meat, and you still can't shut your mouth!"

Jiang Fan chuckled awkwardly; how could he not know what Xiao Min and the other two were thinking?

But since they were already calling each other brothers, how could there still be a master-Disciple relationship?

To ease the awkwardness and save Face after being outdone, Jiang Fan gave each of the four women an Essence Blood Pill:

"Dessert, one for each!"

Xiao Min looked at the Essence Blood Pill on her plate, and her embarrassed expression was immediately replaced by shock.

"Essence Blood Pill?!"

Then, she sniffed it with enjoyment,

"Rich aroma, full of Qi and blood power. This is an Essence Blood Pill from a third-rank Vicious Beast!"

This one pill was worth at least 500,000!

Was her dessert this luxurious?

Qiu Nanfeng's smug expression instantly froze.

He scanned the room, his eyes wide:

"Essence... Essence Blood Pill?!

How can you be so extravagant, kid, using Vicious Beast Essence Blood to refine this stuff? What a waste!

The Essence Blood of ten Vicious Beasts can only successfully refine one. What a spendthrift!"

Bai Lin reminded him:

"Teacher, Jiang Fan can probably succeed with 5 beasts for one pill."

"Then that's still a waste of 4... what?! He can succeed with 5 beasts for 1 pill? Are you sure?" Qiu Nanfeng immediately sprang from his seat.

"Impossible! If he has that success rate, just selling Essence Blood Pills would make him as rich as a nation!"

The industry standard is rarely even 10% success rate.

If there's a 20% success rate, it would definitely monopolize the entire market, and even the Vicious Beast Essence Blood market would cease to exist.

However, this kid can purify to 99.99%, so if the success rate of Essence Blood Pill refining doubles, it's not impossible!

Qiu Nanfeng's eyes lit up again as he looked at Jiang Fan!

He would even tie this kid up and bring him to Kyoto University.

Regaining his composure, Qiu Nanfeng looked at his empty plate and said fawningly,

"Brother Jiang, where's my share?"

Jiang Fan glanced at Qiu Nanfeng and said indifferently:

"Brother Qiu, this stuff is useless to an old monster of your Realm. Don't waste it!"

Qiu Nanfeng wasn't ashamed:

"Hehe, how could it be! I just want a dessert."

Then, he looked at Jiang Fan eagerly.

Jiang Fan felt secretly pleased but said impatiently,

"Alright then, I'll make an exception and give you one today."

No sooner had he spoken.

With a plop, a perfectly round Essence Blood Pill appeared on Qiu Nanfeng's plate.

Qiu Nanfeng rubbed his hands, picked up the Essence Blood Pill, and examined it carefully.

Then his Face immediately fell:

"That's not right, you brat! Why is mine a first-rank Vicious Beast Essence Blood Pill?!"

Jiang Fan said nonchalantly:

"It's just dessert, they're all the same! It doesn't matter what rank you eat!"

Qiu Nanfeng looked unwilling:

"Who said that? High-rank Essence Blood Pills have a different taste!"

Seeing Jiang Fan's indifferent expression, Qiu Nanfeng had no choice but to give up.

The others beside him were all enjoying the third-rank Essence Blood Pills, exclaiming how satisfying they were.

Looking at the first-rank Essence Blood Pill in his hand, Qiu Nanfeng suddenly lost his appetite.

Just then, Bai Lin pointed at her Essence Blood Pill and said pitifully,

"Th-that... that, can... can I take it to go?"
