The beach? Qin Fen studied Lin Jiaxuan for a moment, “If your current strength is just a step higher, then you will need to cultivate in the ocean. However, you don’t need to do this at all right now.”

The bit of confidence that Lin Jiaxuan just established crumbled in an instant. According to her experience, the Jade Girl Heart Sutra required her to go soak in the ocean from day one of cultivation if cultivating by herself. There was no other methods than this! Yet this man was saying….

“Sit down.” Qin Fen really was tired. He pressed down on Lin Jiaxuan’s shoulder with his hand, suddenly exerting force to have her sit on the ground.

Lin Jiaxuan felt the sudden powerful pressure. She immediately wanted to fight back, but she discovered that the force of this pressure far exceeded her imagination. She was pressed to the ground before she could even stir her own strength.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Art? Lin Jiaxuan looked at Qin Fen, not quite daring to believe it. This man, who had just uttered some crazy words, actually cultivated in this free martial art?

“The cultivation process of the third stage….”

Qin Fen didn’t even look at Lin Jiaxuan. He covered his mouth with his hand as he yawned for a moment, and he began talking about what he considered to be the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.

Lin Jiaxuan sized up Qin Fen, feeling bizarre. There had never been a man who would sleepily yawn from seeing her. Men would typically blather on non-stop in radiating spirits. They were scared of not being able to show that they were worthy of her attention. But what was up with Qin Fen? She saw that his crazy words carried a hint of a grandmaster’s tone even with his young age, but he still cultivated in the free martial art that was the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.

“Memorized it yet?” Qin Fen yawned once again. These days, he had to deal with military training upon waking up. Then he had to undergo special training from the people that Squad Leader Hao had found. Then when he just barely made it to sleep at night, there were people in his dreams that wouldn’t let him rest. Then there was the War God Arena that overdrafted his strength. Even his body that was truly as strong as iron wasn’t able to endure all this.

“Oh?” Some shyness appeared on Lin Jiaxuan’s expression. She had been thinking about Qin Fen’s identity just now and had been a bit distracted for a time.

“You don’t remember? Then I’ll repeat one last time. It really is a bit hard.”

Qin Fen spoke truthfully, but Lin Jiaxuan heard a different tone in her ears.

Was he mocking her? Saying that she was stupid? Lin Jiaxuan furrowed her brow slightly. Her stubbornness to never admit defeat suddenly soared within her heart. She took out an enthusiasm that was more serious than usual to listen to Qin Fen’s description. She vowed to memorize it with only one telling.

“Memorized it now?”

“Memorized!”

Lin Jiaxuan raised her eyebrows in a demonstrative manner, but Qin Fen completely overlooked her attractive gestures since he was too tired.

“You can practice it right now.” Qin Fen sat on the ground and leaned against a large tree to recover his strength. “After practicing it once, you can go if there aren’t any problems.”

“Can this really be practiced?” Lin Jiaxuan was a bit uncertain inside. The channels involved were far too complicated. There were many of them where she was unable to grasp why some they should be used. There were some channels that seemed completely unnecessary and were just added in.

“So you’re not going to practice?” Qin Fen was happy now. He said, getting up, “That’s good. I’ll be leaving then.”

“Hold on!”

Lin Jiaxuan hurriedly spread her arms to block Qin Fen’s front. She had never seen a man be so impatient with a beauty.

Qin Fen raised his head, his gaze just so happening to meet Lin Jiaxuan’s perked up chest. This position was a bit embarrassing, so he sat his butt back on the ground. “Are you going to practice or not? I’m very sleepy, very tired.”

Lin Jiaxuan gave a Qin Fen a glance of hatred. This was the least courteous man she had ever met since she was born.

She had no alternative. There was the possibility of total paralysis if she didn’t do anything. With the choice of this over a possibility of making it through, Lin Jiaxuan could only choose the later.

“I’ll practice it!”

Lin Jiaxuan sat powerlessly on the ground. She followed her previous methods of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra by habit, adopting the meditative sitting posture of Five Hearts Faces the Sky.

Qin Fen didn’t say anything as he looked on from the side. The importance of this set of exercises laid in the circulation channels within the body. The cultivator could practice it all the same even if her habit was to practice naked.

Lin Jiaxuan was soon immersed within Qin Fen’s version of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra. The drive of energy had been smooth in the past, but today it had changed to be abnormally difficult. Many meridian channels, which she hadn’t fully grasped but was still able to easily drive energy through in the past, now became as hard to drive as pushing a thousand pound rock. It didn’t take long before her forehead began to sweat from the effort.

Qin Fen estimated the time for a moment before leaning back and beginning to circulate and execute the Rejuvenation Art. The effectiveness of this set of cultivation exercises had begun to decline in effectiveness from continual use.

Qin Fen sighed to himself in his mind. A person’s body would need sleep in order to adjust itself. The Rejuvenation Art was more like emergency supplies.

After a few cycles, the Rejuvenation Art removed a considerable amount of fatigue. Qin Fen waited in silence for Lin Jiaxuan to awaken. According to his calculations, she should be waking soon.

A minute and a second passed, and it didn’t take long for Qin Fen to feel Lin Jiaxuan’s body, who was sitting next to him, suddenly relax. A slow drawn out breath came out from her cinnabar red lips.

This breath was long and deep, indicating that Lin Jiaxuan’s foundation was quite solid.

Lin Jiaxuan opened her eyes and raised her arm to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She looked at Qin Fen, her eyes filled with quite some shock, a bit of doubt, and a little speculation.

Lin Jiaxuan was someone who knew what’s what. What Qin Fen taught her could be called the new version of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, and it was more powerful than the genuine version bought from the Sacred Martial Hall.

The more Lin Jiaxuan understood the prospects of this new version of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, the more she didn’t dare believe it. She didn’t dare believe that such a high level martial art could be altered to even higher levels, especially by a youngster who just graduated high school.

In terms of scope, Lin Jiaxuan’s world view was much alrger than Qin Fen’s. This was because her family relationships had allowed her contact with many famous true masters. She naturally knew that altering this martial art, whether it was complicating or simplifying it, wasn’t something easy to do.

This was especially true when increasing the complexity raises the quality of the martial arts itself. This was really something that couldn’t be done in one morning and one evening.

A true martial arts master, or even grandmaster, would need long and careful deliberations in order to transform or innovet a new set of martial arts.

What Qin Fen did went against all common sense! He immediately gave direction when he finished listening!

She looked at Qin Fen, his face unperturbed, and Lin Jiaxuan incessantly asked herself just what sort of young man this was. He even cultivated in the free martial art, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, yet he pointed out a martial art that was universally shocking. Could he posses some sort of powerful backer?

Qin Fen stood and waited for a moment, realizing that Lin Jiaxuan was merely staring at him but wasn’t going to say anything. He had no oother option but to open his mouth and break the silence, “Is there anything else? I am really really sleepy.”

Still with that sleepiness? Lin Jiaxuan began to suspect that this young man might be flirting with her. He kept on saying that he was sleepy, but in actuality, did he mean that he want to sleep with her…?

With this possibility in mind, Lin Jiaxuan’s assessment of Qin Fen fell considerably lower than before.

“This….” Lin Jiaxuan got up and patted the dust off her buttocks. She looked awkwardly and hesitantly at Qin Fen.

This new version of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra came from altering the original. The problem was that if one stage was altered, then she would fall into a bottleneck when she breaks through this stage to the next. Then what would she do?

There was only one solution, and that was to ask Qin Fen for the entirety of the cultivation technique.
