21: Practice combination techniques, compensation, agreement

Having no other choice, Lin Chuan decided to practice skill combinations first.

Lin Chuan had already named the combination skill he created for Old Hei: "Rocket Headbutt."

Step one: Ignition and gear engagement—no, it's the Elemental Field activation, making the body hover.

It didn't need to be too high off the ground; two or three centimeters was enough.

Step two: Aim at the target.

Step three: Launch. Air-Treading Rapid Acceleration activated.

"Launch!"

Lin Chuan regretted it as soon as he shouted.

This was in his own yard!

Before Lin Chuan could remember to recall Old Hei, it had already shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, directly crashing into the courtyard wall.

With a loud "boom," the courtyard wall was directly blasted with a hole, and the entire front courtyard wall swayed precariously.

This wasn't the end; Lin Chuan's villa was only about a dozen meters from the house opposite. After Old Hei crashed through, it didn't stop, subsequently crashing directly into the opposite house's yard.

There was a similar hole in the opposite courtyard wall.

"Oh no, it's over!"

Lin Chuan covered his eyes with one hand, unable to bear watching.

"Ah!..." Soon, several screams came from the opposite side.

"What kind of Prodigy is this?"

"We're under attack, we're under attack!"

...The other side was completely alarmed.

"This Turtle, could it be Lin Chuan's beast companion?"

Ye Yao was surrounded by bodyguards, and upon seeing Old Hei, she recognized it.

"Uh..."

Lin Chuan braced himself and walked over.

"This is my beast companion. I'm sorry, I'll compensate for all the damages."

As he spoke, he recalled Old Hei.

"You brat, do you have a death wish..."

A dark-faced burly man walked directly towards Lin Chuan, seemingly intending to take action.

These bodyguards were all at least Silver Rank, and they didn't take a Black Iron Rank like him seriously.

"Wait a moment, Captain Wang, this is my classmate."

Seeing this, Ye Yao quickly intervened.

"Yes, Young Miss."

The burly man said, then retreated to the side.

"Lin Chuan, would you like to explain?"

Ye Yao looked at Lin Chuan, finding it very interesting; it was the first time she had seen him embarrassed.

"Well, that was a mistake, a mistake. I was giving Old Hei special training and didn't control the force well." As he spoke, Lin Chuan pointed behind him, towards his own yard, where the damage was even greater.

"Pfft..."

Ye Yao burst out laughing.

"What kind of special training can make a Turtle so fast and strong!"

Ye Yao was very interested.

Every incident involving Lin Chuan was quite bizarre.

"This is a secret weapon, don't tell anyone, okay?"

Lin Chuan naturally couldn't explain, especially since one of the skills was freeloaded from Ye Yao.

"I know, you're doing this to deal with Yan Hao, right!"

Ye Yao said with great certainty.

Coming from a Family, she was naturally not an ignorant vase; she could guess with a little thought.

"Who doesn't want the first-place reward? It's like it's already reserved for Yan Hao. Just watch how I'll take him down!"

Since it was out in the open, Lin Chuan said casually.

Listening to Lin Chuan's 'foul language,' Ye Yao spat, then her eyes darted around, and she said, "Lin Chuan, how do you plan to pay for the repair of this yard?"

If it weren't for the numerous fierce bodyguards around Ye Yao, as well as the nanny and butler looking at him with 'anti-wolf' gazes, Lin Chuan might have actually dared to flirtatiously say the words 'pay with my body.'

"Well, just tally it up and tell me. Don't gouge me too much, or even if you sell me, I won't be able to afford it."

Lin Chuan had no grounds to argue, so he could only accept the compensation.

"Who wants to gouge you? My Family has a construction team; just have them come over and fix it. Do you want your side fixed too? No, your side should probably be called rebuilt. You only need to cover the Materials cost, how about it?"

Ye Yao rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan, wondering what he was up to.

"Thank you, big shot."

What else could Lin Chuan say? He fully agreed.

"However, I have a condition."

"Tell me, as long as I can do it."

Lin Chuan wrote one empty check after another; a lot of debt doesn't weigh you down.

"Before that, there's something else. The classical text you mentioned last time, I specifically asked my grandfather, and he hadn't heard of it. Also, I searched online and couldn't find any information. Were you just making it up to trick me?"

As she spoke, Ye Yao's eyes grew dangerous. If Lin Chuan dared to deceive her, then all old and new grudges would be settled together.

So it was this. Lin Chuan had been wondering why Ye Yao had that constipated expression, always looking like she wanted to speak but couldn't, whenever he saw her in class or on the road these past few days. He even thought she was uncomfortable because of her period.

After all that, it was just this?

"In the North Sea, there is a fish, its name is Kun. The Kun's size, I do not know how many thousands of miles it is; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng." Lin Chuan recited a few lines and then stopped. As for the rest, he didn't remember.

"What about the rest? What comes after?"

Ye Yao was frantic with eagerness, feeling for the first time that classical text could be so captivating.

"The rest might be lost, I've only seen these few lines. The general meaning is that there's a Yao Beast in the sea that's thousands of miles long, and this Yao Beast can also transform into a bird form, covering the sky and sun."

Lin Chuan made things up casually, speaking as if it were true.

But he didn't notice that not only Ye Yao, but everyone else present was filled with shock.

"Thousands of miles long... What Rank would that be?"

"Divine-Grade, probably."

Lin Chuan confirmed, the legendary 'Kunpeng' must be at least a Divine Beast to start with.

As soon as he said this, everyone else looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

"This audacious young man, to have information about a Divine Beast and even call it by name!! No, I must inform the master; it's too dangerous for the Young Miss to be his classmate!!"

The old butler wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, making plans in his mind.

"Um, Lin Chuan, I understand. Please don't mention Divine-Grade so easily in the future; it's quite frightening."

Ye Yao patted her chest and said cautiously.

"What's the big deal? If I ever get a chance to go to the sea, I'll definitely catch one to try..."

Ye Yao covered her ears, not daring to listen to the shocking words that followed.

Only after Lin Chuan finished speaking did Ye Yao uncover her ears and say, "Then my condition is, if you have a chance to go to the seaside, remember to take some photos or videos and bring them back for me to see, that's simple, right?"

Ye Yao said, feigning relaxation.

"No problem, that's simple. I can even bring you some seafood specialties then." Lin Chuan genuinely felt this condition was nothing.

It was then that he remembered that the network between cities was cut off, and ordinary people couldn't receive information from other cities. Ye Yao, this 'Goddess of the Ocean,' hadn't even seen what the real sea looked like; she was a pitiable child.

"Then it's a deal!"

"It's a promise."

Lin Chuan naturally knew what going to the seaside meant; it meant his own strength had to be at least King Rank to even qualify to try.

Just King Rank, Lin Chuan didn't think it would be difficult for him.

After all, he had a cheat!
