115: Chapter 115 My Guidance... Isn't Cheap

She counted on her fingers as she listed: "Before you achieve the Breakthrough to become a Martial Artist, you cannot take Medicinal Pills to assist you as you Cultivate!"

"You can only rely on hard training! At most, you can do some medicinal baths and eat some good food!"

"We use this most primitive, slowest method to judge who has good talent!"

"Resources must be tilted towards those with good talent!"

"If I hadn't been clever since I was young, knowing how to cling to my aunt's leg, hanging around her, and mooching off her resources, how could I have grown to the level I am at today?"

"I would have long been rolled into some unknown corner by my hundred-plus older brothers and sisters!"

"You guys have no idea how many people are actually in a top-tier Family!"

"What I just said was only my grandfather's branch!"

"My grandfather himself has a whole bunch of siblings! And there's my great-grandfather's generation..."

"Counting upwards, each generation branches out, the number of people, tsk tsk..."

Qiao Feifei shook her head repeatedly, wearing an expression of "unbearable to look back on."

Finally, she let out a long sigh and summarized: "So, being born into a big Family, it looks glamorous on the outside, but the internal competition, pressure, and the cruelty of resource allocation... it's really hard."

The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Sympathize with her?

She has an annual allowance of 30 million, and the most favored aunt as her backer.

Don't sympathize?

Listening to her describe the number of siblings and the environment of resource competition, it seems... actually quite hair-raising.

This is probably... the "Versailles-style" trouble of the super-rich?

Ten days is neither long nor short.

But under Lin Yun's precise guidance, which fused a hundred years of martial arts insights, combined with Qiao Shiyu's own talent and the huge motivation brought by competing with Bai Lulu, as well as Tianshui Martial Arts University's Combat Technique Analysis Hall.

She actually managed to practice her newly learned yellow-rank peak Combat Technique, "Rending Wind Claw," to the Minor Achievement Realm!

You have to know, this is a yellow-rank peak Combat Technique!

Ordinary Martial Artists, even with good talent, would find it hard to even touch the threshold of Minor Achievement without years of hard work.

Take Lin Yun for example; he only started learning yellow-rank peak Combat Techniques after becoming a Second-Rank Martial Artist and using the System rewards to reach Perfection in lower-level Combat Techniques.

Yet Qiao Shiyu, at First-Stage Perfection, only used ten days!

When she performed the claw technique completely again and felt that condensed, smooth, and power-multiplied sensation at her fingertips, her little face was filled with unbelievable surprise.

"Brother Lin Yun! I... I think I... reached Minor Achievement!"

She looked at Lin Yun excitedly, her big eyes shining as if filled with stars.

Lin Yun nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes: "Not bad, your Comprehension Ability is very good, you grasped the essence. Practice diligently, and Major Achievement is within reach."

Receiving affirmation, the joy in Qiao Shiyu's heart was almost overflowing.

Almost subconsciously, she whipped her head around, her gaze shooting like lightning toward Bai Lulu, who was watching from the side with her arms crossed.

Her little chin held high, filled with a victor's provocation: "Dead Meatball! See that? This Young Miss's 'Rending Wind Claw' has reached Minor Achievement!"

"Dare to have another fight now? This time I will definitely beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor!"

Bai Lulu had been observing carefully since Qiao Shiyu started practicing, and she was actually quite shocked inside.

This Little Bean's speed of progress was truly ridiculously fast.

The fluidity and power of that claw technique were simply worlds apart compared to ten days ago.

But even if you lose, you can't lose your spirit, especially in front of a sworn enemy.

She sneered, her charming eyes glancing sideways at Qiao Shiyu, her lazy tone carrying undisguised contempt: "What are you so proud of? It's just taking a shortcut by relying on the guidance of an 'expert'."

"If you have the ability, let this 'Brother Lin Yun' guide me to the same degree for ten days, and then let's have a fair fight?"

"Otherwise, even if you win, it's an unfair victory, it's boring."

She deliberately emphasized the four words "Brother Lin Yun," her tone mocking.

"You...!" Qiao Shiyu was so angry at her twisted logic that her little face turned bright red.

"Brother Lin Yun is willing to teach me, that's my ability! If you have the ability, make him teach you too!"

"Teach then teach!" Bai Lulu lifted her chin, not showing weakness, "You think only you can act cute?"

The two were about to start a new round of daily bickering. Just then, Bai Lulu's eyes rolled, and she suddenly twisted her water-snake-like waist, walking with those long, straight, and thought-provoking beautiful legs, straight to Lin Yun.

She slightly raised that face that combined charm and heroic spirit, leaning in a bit closer. The scent of faint fragrance mixed with post-exercise hormones drifted towards Lin Yun, now and then.

Her red lips curved into a very seductive arc, and her voice softened and became charming: "Brother Lin Yun~ Look, Little Bean is so arrogant now, relying on you giving her special tutoring."

"How about... you teach me too? Otherwise, this fight is so boring, don't you think?"

She was very close, so close that Lin Yun could clearly see her long eyelashes and the cunning and probing flickering in those eyes that seemed to speak.

Lin Yun's expression didn't change, his gaze calmly meeting hers, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "My guidance... isn't cheap."

Bai Lulu blinked, not only not retreating but smiling even deeper, carrying a bit of provocation and temptation: "Oh? Then... how about exchanging it with my private swimsuit photos? Exclusive collector's edition, oh~"

When she said this, she deliberately puffed out her proud assets, as if displaying the value of the "product."

Hearing this, Lin Yun just smiled without speaking, but his gaze swept over her with great interest, as if evaluating the "goods."

Seeing that he didn't refuse immediately, Bai Lulu's heart stirred, and she added more: "If that's not enough, we can... add Little Bean's too, okay? She probably hasn't shown Brother Lin Yun, right?"

"I have good skills, the ones I take will definitely be a hundred times better than the ones she secretly takes herself!"

Once these words came out, the smile in Lin Yun's eyes deepened a few degrees, and he slowly said: "This, I can consider."

"Brother Lin Yun! You are not allowed to agree to her!"

Qiao Shiyu instantly bristled, rushed over, pulled Bai Lulu away, and glared at her furiously.

"Bai Lulu, you Stinky Meatball, how dare you secretly take photos of me! And use them for a transaction, that's too much!"

After snapping at Bai Lulu, Qiao Shiyu's cheeks instantly turned red. She twisted and turned as she walked to Lin Yun, her little hands clutching the corner of her clothes, her voice dropping an octave: "Brother... Brother Lin Yun... you... don't listen to her nonsense... my... my... that... can..."

"...can show you... but... but only you can see it!"

"At most... at most there's Sister Yingxue and the others..."

Her voice got smaller and smaller as she spoke, until it was almost inaudible by the end, and her head was almost buried in her chest.

"My... my swimsuit... hasn't... hasn't been seen by other men yet..."

As she said this, she buried her head even lower, her ears turning red enough to drip blood, even her silver ponytail swaying slightly, so cute it was unbearable.
