Wei Zixuan didn't ask any further questions. This was the first time she had seen Chen Zheng in such a state, and he offered no explanation.

"We'll have our fun some other time!" Liu Ya's voice called out from behind them.

Chen Zheng was too preoccupied to pay her any mind. At that moment, the True Qi in his Dantian was surging more violently than ever.

"Get in the car, quickly!" Chen Zheng urged Wei Zixuan.

Like a swallow, Wei Zixuan leaped gracefully into the passenger seat, while Chen Zheng calmly took his place in the driver's seat. The car roared to life, speeding away in an instant. In just over ten minutes, they arrived back at the tranquil villa.

After they got out of the car, Wei Zixuan could no longer hold back her question. "What on earth is wrong with you?"

Chen Zheng gave a wry smile. "My True Qi is acting up. I'm heading upstairs first!"

With that, his figure flickered and floated up to the second floor. The next moment, a violent power erupted from within his body. Wei Zixuan watched in surprise before bursting into laughter. She had never seen Chen Zheng so flustered. Shaking her head, she elegantly walked into the villa.

Meanwhile, Chen Zheng was completely focused on controlling his True Qi. It swirled like a tornado, diminishing slightly with each revolution only to be replaced by a new, more potent energy. Through this repeating cycle, his True Qi grew stronger and more condensed. Although his cultivation realm remained the same, his power increased wildly.

Throughout this long ordeal, Chen Zheng was like a dancer spinning gracefully on a stage of power. He struggled to contain the energy, preventing it from leaking out and causing irreparable damage to the world. Finally, after immense effort, he succeeded in calming the force within him.

By then, his True Qi had become as clear and translucent as amber, its quality enhanced dozens of time over. When Chen Zheng opened his eyes, a full day had passed. He stood up, preparing to look for Wei Zixuan. However, when he tried to take his first step, he was startled to find his foot had sunk straight into the floorboards. He hastily stopped himself and stared at the ground in embarrassment. He realized his body was no longer the one he was used to; he would need to adapt and learn to control it all over again.

With a mere thought, his body floated up as light as a feather. He drifted out of the window and descended gently to the ground below. After landing, he took a careful step, as if treading on fragile flower petals.

"Zi Xuan!" Chen Zheng's voice echoed in the air, but there was no response.

He mobilized his True Qi, his phone already in hand as he prepared to make a call. Just then, a WeChat notification from Wei Zixuan lit up the screen. He tapped it open and read the message: "Chen Zheng, I've gone to help out at my second uncle's. The Xiao Family is receiving a shipment from Yan Shuiyu today. I left breakfast on the table for you!"

His gaze fell on the clock; it had just passed seven in the morning.

Chen Zheng carefully skirted the villa, afraid of causing any more unnecessary destruction. Forget it. I need to get used to this power first. I have to master it!

With that decided, he stepped away from the villa. He quickened his pace, dashing toward Yunshan behind the property. Every morning, a group of fitness enthusiasts would climb the stairs on the back of Yunshan, starting from the base and heading to the summit to breathe the fresh air.

To adapt to his sudden strength, Chen Zheng went to the foot of the mountain. After looking around to confirm no one was present, he took a single step and shot up the mountainside like a gale of wind. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished into the mist halfway up the slope.

He silently adjusted the energy in his body, striving to tame it. Gradually, he began to grasp its profound mysteries. At first, his power caused considerable destruction to the surrounding trees, weeds, and rocks, but as time went on, he learned to harness it perfectly.

"It's about ten times stronger!" he remarked with satisfaction.

The words had barely left his lips when his speed surged. Leaping onto the treetops, his body shot toward the sky like an arrow released from its bow, piercing through the clouds and landing steadily on the mountain's summit.

"Hmm?"

The moment his feet touched the ground, his brow furrowed. A gust of wind rushed toward him, devoid of killing intent; it felt more like an instinctual reaction. He tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, and with a SNAP, he caught a fist. The arm was slender, clearly a woman's. Yet, from this arm, Chen Zheng felt a strange sensation.

There's something wrong with her! he instantly judged. He slowly turned his head, a little surprised. Seriously? Of all the people... what a small world.

"It's you?" a voice rang out as a familiar figure appeared before him.

"And why couldn't it be?" Chen Zheng's eyes twinkled like stars. He could sense a surge of True Qi within Guo Fu's fist. This was an ancient martial art, not one of the modern styles.

Guo Fu slowly withdrew her hand. "Are you a successor of the ancient martial arts?" she asked doubtfully.

Before Chen Zheng could respond, an old, melodious voice drifted over from the side. "Young friend, so you're a fellow practitioner! To think you were hidden so deeply that I didn't even notice last night!"

The voice, of course, belonged to Guo Xiancheng.

"I just practice casually," Chen Zheng replied offhandedly.

Guo Xiancheng shook his head and chuckled. "Young friend, you don't look like a casual practitioner. A lightness technique like yours isn't something one can achieve without serious effort!"

Chen Zheng said nothing, his silence as inscrutable as a deep pool. He had only come here to test his newfound power, and now that he could control it as easily as his own limbs, he decided it was time to leave. However, Guo Fu's words struck like a bolt of lightning, shattering his calm.

"Chen Zheng, what's your realm? Care for a match?" Her voice floated over gently, like a willow catkin in spring.

Chen Zheng stopped, his gaze as deep as the night sky as he watched her.

Guo Xiancheng also chimed in. "My young friend, this girl has loved to compete since she was little. She's still a bit upset about losing to you last night. If you don't mind, perhaps you could spar with her? You could both learn from the exchange."

Chen Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Forget it. She can't beat me."

"What did you say?" Guo Fu was stunned for a second, then her face filled with indignation. "I'm at the late stage of the Qi Condensation Realm and have practiced martial arts for thirteen years! How can you say I can't beat you?"

The Qi Condensation Realm? Could it be a cultivation level from the ancient martial arts? Chen Zheng wondered. Based on the force of her earlier punch, her strength was about equivalent to the peak of the Dark Energy stage.

He stated solemnly, "You are truly no match for me."

Rage burned in Guo Fu's beautiful eyes. "We'll see about that!" she cried defiantly.

As soon as she spoke, she rushed toward Chen Zheng, raising her hand to bring it chopping down on him. Her True Qi flared, making the very air around them tremble violently. Chen Zheng's brow furrowed slightly as a ferocious palm wind crashed toward him like a torrential storm.
