The scene elicited exclamations from the crowd.

"You, what are you doing, let go of me!"

Li Qingling didn't scream loudly, but struggled wildly, attacking Lu Ren with fists and kicks.

"Weak and powerless."

Lu Ren commented, this level of force wouldn't even count as a scratch.

Seeing nearby people preparing to record with their phones, Lu Ren's magnetic field suddenly expanded, the invisible chaotic waves caused all electronic devices in the bar to shut down briefly.

The lights in the bar dimmed instantly.

"What the hell, did my phone break?!"

"Oh no, maybe it's the turtle's back from the Pacific Rim, emitting an electromagnetic pulse that has paralyzed the entire city!"

"You've watched too many monster movies, haven't you!"

"No, given the current environment, many things are unclear, maybe we've mysteriously disappeared into the monster world!"

The crowd was shocked, seemingly finding it plausible, and didn't even pay attention to Lu Ren carrying the chicken-like Li Qingling, causing chaos.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Ren directly took Li Qingling out of the bar.

The cold wind outside the bar made Li Qingling shiver, and Lu Ren's long arm span lifted her further away.

Li Qingling struggled for a while, eventually finding that even kicking couldn't reach Lu Ren's body, she had to give up.

Shouted with exhaustion.

"I'm going to sue you for restricting my personal safety! The world still has laws! Do you know how many Martial Arts Families were executed for crimes, it's on the news every day!!"

Lu Ren remained silent, throwing her into the back seat of the car, shutting the door, then driving away.

Driving all the way, after almost an hour, Lu Ren stopped the car in front of an ancient-style Taoist hall.

This was after he told Ji Quanzhen about his desire to start a Fist Technique school, with Ji Quanzhen's full support, he immediately transferred ownership of a vast compound in the outskirts of Shu Capital under Lu Ren's name.

This made Lu Ren feel quite good about it.

Though it was mutually beneficial, he treated him well.

Formally unboarding Li Qingling from the car, not caring about her expression, calmly said, "Next, I will train you seriously, so you can protect yourself, perhaps you'll use your ability to visit your father's tomb."

Hearing this, Li Qingling finally calmed down.

"I, I understand, thank you!"

Lu Ren nodded slightly, she seems to be a sensible girl, during the car ride she only silently wept, without much fuss.

He pushed open the door, entered the martial hall, passed through the martial ground to reach the living quarters, gesturing casually at the circle of rooms.

"Here, pick any room, tidy up tonight, there should be spare Martial Arts Uniforms inside, tomorrow follow me to pay respects to the mountain."

"Pay respects to the mountain?!"

Li Qingling's face showed confusion.

Lu Ren's gaze was deep.

"Since they don't recognize Phoenix Falcon Fist, I'll use your father's fist technique to make them feel pain, fear, and that's enough."

He looked down at the completely stunned, bewildered Li Qingling.

"I will uphold your father's, my teacher Li Ziqing's last wish, to create the top-notch school, even if you're my only disciple."

"Eh?!"

Li Qingling looking at Lu Ren dumbfoundedly, instinctively pointing at herself.

"I'm your disciple?!"

Lu Ren's cold expression and oppressive gaze almost made Li Qingling weak in the knees.

"You're too weak now, start running twenty laps around the entire martial ground, start now."

Li Qingling pouted.

"Why should I listen to you, I never agreed to be your disciple! We barely know each other, uncle, you like playing this set?"

"Hm?"

Lu Ren's face darkened, stepped forward, and reached out his hand.

Crackling sounds.

A series of sounds of palm and face intimate contact resonated, accompanied by Li Qingling's cry of pain.

Lu Ren stared at the bruised Li Qingling.

"Now, change your clothes, you have three minutes, or you will suffer immensely, go."

Li Qingling's body trembled slightly, tearfully returned to the room, emerging three minutes later.

When Li Qingling emerged, Lu Ren was holding a Yan-style Longsword, he lightly flicked it, the sword emitted a low, humming tone.

"Your hair is too long, it will affect your future fist technique training, do you want me to cut it or will you do it yourself?"

Li Qingling's face almost scrunched up.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Lu Ren's gaze sharpened, then he approached with the sword.

One minute later.

"Waaa... sob sob sob, waaa..."

Li Qingling running around the martial ground crying aloud, her short hair appeared as if chewed by a dog, causing her to feel somewhat shattered.

Lu Ren watched quietly from the side, then slightly shook his head, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence.

"There's surveillance here, I'll be inside watching you, if you skip a lap, I'll disfigure your face."

Li Qingling: "..."

Until late at night, Lu Ren watched as Li Qingling walked her last few laps almost numbly but dared not to stop.

This martial ground was huge, almost the size of two football fields.

Finally at the last lap, when Li Qingling crossed the finish line, Lu Ren appeared silently before her.

"It's done."

Hearing Lu Ren's words, Li Qingling paused, rolled her eyes, her body fell straight to the ground.

Thud!

"..."

Li Qingling raised her face with difficulty.

"You didn't catch me for that?"

Lu Ren relaxedly crossed his arms.

"In combat, if you're exhausted, you must never fall down, get up."

He couldn't say that Li Ziqing died from exhaustion, he just wanted Li Qingling to experience that feeling, he'll naturally explain it later when the time is right.

Li Qingling finally understood that this guy before her, whether or not he's Li Ziqing's disciple, is definitely a demon!

He was fulfilling the promise he made four or five years ago, accepting her as a disciple.

Li Qingling struggled for a while on the ground before finally managing to stand up.

She rested her hands on her knees, trembling all over for quite some time before she could stand upright.

Seeing this, Lu Ren reached out with his finger, and in a second while Li Qingling wasn't paying attention, tapped her continuously a dozen times.

Li Qingling then cried out in surprise, shrinking back like a rabbit.

"What are you doing?!!"

"Just relaxing your body."

Before Li Qingling could speak, she felt warmth spreading from the places Lu Ren had tapped, like warm ants crawling all over her body.

"What is this, Inner Strength, True Qi?!"

Li Qingling's face was full of curiosity, feeling that her fatigued body was beginning to unwind under the warmth, feeling like she was soaking in a hot spring.

"Just some magnetic field usage, if you ever reach this Realm, you'll understand the immense fortune you're receiving."

An immensely powerful Martial Arts Family deep in the Bright Awakening Realm, an ancient Land True Immortal washing away her impurities, is an opportunity many seek but never find.

"Rest well, tomorrow afternoon, we'll go on the mountain visit."

...

...

The next morning, already up, Lu Ren sat at a high stand by the martial ground, watching the first ray of morning sun from the rising dawn, inhaling with subtle hints of purple appearing between his nose and mouth.

This is what ancient cultivators described as absorbing the Spiritual Mechanism of Heaven and Earth, taking in the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
