''Zhuqing, take a break'' Chu Feng said towards Zhuqing who was busy reinforcing a branch so it could pierce through a rock, the rock was full of dents and small holes due to the many time she already tried.
Chu Feng had to admit that this girls perseverance is enormous, he knew if he gave this training towards Zhao Wuji and restrict his Spirit Power at Spirit Level 34 aswell then he could try 12 times at most before collapsing, but Zhu Zhuqing's body was covered in sweat and her face was deathly pale but she kept trying while trying to keep her consciousness after 29 times.
''I can still go on!'' Zhu Zhuqing said through gritted teeth, it was already near midnight at this point and she had completed her first training a few hours ago so Chu Feng gave her a new training.
Chu Feng smiled and walked towards her, Zhu Zhuqing kept throwing the branches but they either broken upon contact or make a dent in the rock.
''Zhuqing, hard working is perfect but what you're doing now is overworking and that is the biggest bane of all hardworking people'' Chu Feng advised her.
''Mmm, in that case I will sleep a bit'' Zhu Zhuqing nodded and fell over, Chu Feng already knew she was to worn out to walk back to the dorms so he catched her while grabbing a bed out of his inventory and placing her on it.
''You did well'' Chu Feng had a kind smile on his face while petting her head, he suddenly heard something that sounded like a *Purr* and looked down but Zhu Zhuqing's mouth didn't move.
'It was definitely her, that was so damn cute!' Chu Feng wanted to keep petting her but didn't want to wake her up, she needed the sleep for tomorrow after all.
Chu Feng went back to his own practice after covering Zhu Zhuqing with his Aura so he didn't disturb her, his [Hymn Of The Fallen] had increased to 89% already and he felt that his Spirit Power was about to break through aswell.
Chu Feng kept practicing until 3 A.M and decided to place his bed a meter away from Zhu Zhuqing's since if anything happened he could protect her at any moment.... And maybe because her sleeping face was just to adorable, she was curled up into a ball while hugging a cushion.
Chu Feng closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-----------[7 Devils POV]------------
Ning Rongrong woke up early in the morning just like all the 'Devils'. They make and eat their breakfast together and normally everyone would be smiling but now it was kind of awkward, they were missing someone.
''So... Did anyone see Zhuqing?'' Xiao Wu has always been direct and even in this awkward atmosphere she still asked the 'question of death'.
''She is probably sleeping with Chu Feng'' Ning Rongrong sneered but felt sour in her heart, she wasn't any uglier then Zhu Zhuqing right? Her self-confidence started to waver.
*Crack*
A bowl shattered, Dai Mubai shattered his bowl due to sheer rage and walked out.
The others naturally followed since Dai Mubai wasn't a match for Chu Feng and they knew Chu Feng wouldn't spare him.
''Rongrong, do you really think they did something naughty?'' Xiao Wu asked Ning Rongrong curiously while walking out of the building towards the lake where they saw Chu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing yesterday.
''I don't know but Zhuqing hasn't been back into the room because we would've heard her coming in'' Ning Rongrong said with a serious expression, ''Hey guys, wait for us!'' Both Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong ran after the boys that ran towards the lake.
-----------[3rd Person POV]------------
Chu Feng sitting on his bed when he suddenly felt killing intent aimed towards him from a distance, he grabbed his sword and tried to sense what it was while looking at the Map.
'Its that annoying little sh*t again? Ah, I see... Zhuqing didn't sleep in her room and they should have noticed that'
Chu Feng didn't wake up Zhu Zhuqing but he also wouldn't isolate her like last time, if they woke her up then they could go ahead and face the angry Zhu Zhuqing.
8 people appeared out of the bushes, Zhao Wuji was still in his pyjama's and Flender was already dressed. Naturally they felt the killing intent and instantly went towards the source but they didn't find an enemy but an angry Dai Mubai charging towards the lake.
''Bastard what did you do!'' Dai Mubai didn't stop for a moment and attacked Chu Feng who was leaning his left hand on his Sword.
''Dai Mubai stop!'' Flender, Zhao Wuji and Tang San held Dai Mubai back while looking at Chu Feng who was to lazy too bother.
''Stop holding me back! I will kill this fucker!'' Dai Mubai screamed as a madman while trying to rip apart Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
''Calm down first!'' Zhao Wuji said while hoping he wouldn't piss Chu Feng off.
''Calm down?! He dared to touch my woman and you want me to calm down?!'' Dai Mubai screamed out of sheer impulse.
Zhu Zhuqing who heard that aswell sat up from her bed with a cold face, when Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing he and the rest of the people there were stunned and didn't know what to do.
Her current appearance was kind of misleading, she woke up early and noticed she was sleeping on a 2 person bed while Chu Feng slept on the same kind of bed a meter further.
Zhu Zhuqing decided to sleep further but her clothes felt dirt so she removed most of them and only slept in a tank-top and tight short pants. [Author • Like Xiao Wu wears under her skirt or whatever you call it xd]
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the 8 people there and even Chu Feng couldn't help but look at her current appearance, she was covered under the blankets when he woke up but now she was in open view.
Zhu Zhuqing looked down and noticed her current appearance but didn't know what was wrong with it, she just woke up so is it really that weird to be dressed like this? She quickly grabbed the blankets and wrapped them around her as pure reflex but the other 8 misunderstood why she did it and thought she was embarrassed to get caught instead.
Zhu Zhuqing covered herself with the blanket and looked at Dai Mubai with a cold expression, ''Who is your woman? The moment you were walking around town with other girls my business had nothing to do with your anymore!''
''Y...you....'' Dai Mubai couldn't refute what she said, he ruined it, not her! She had a decent impression of him but he screwed everything up and then came back running.
''Can you start teaching me again? My body is healed now'' Zhu Zhuqing didn't bother with them anymore and asked Chu Feng.
''Fine, come with me'' Chu Feng stored the two beds and walked towards a big tree while leaving a heartbroken Dai Mubai behind, the rest didn't know what to do with the current situation, after all, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai never had a relationship or anything close to it.
Chu Feng and Zhu Zhuqing walked towards a big tree and stopped, Zhu Zhuqing was confused to what a tree had to do with everything.
''Look at me and try to see what I did'' Chu Feng glanced at her and set a foot against the tree and pulled his other foot of the ground and started walking up the tree as if he was walking on flat ground, Zhu Zhuqing had her eyes wide open when she looked at Chu Feng whilte Chu Feng just walked upside down with his feet against a tree branch.
''Did you see what I did?'' Chu Feng looked at Zhu Zhuqing while hanging upside down and smiled.
''I felt that your Spirit Power went to the bottom of your feet'' Zhu Zhuqing said hesitantly.
''Correct, now I will teach you the ways Spirit Power should be used since catching fish has nothing to do with combat but this technique can safe your life or something else''
Chu Feng only wanted to leave his image in her heart with the training anyway and also build her strength up, she was strong willed and wouldn't stop no matter how much Chu Feng asked her to do so and Chu Feng felt it was better to let her face hardships in these kind of situations since he didn't want her to become a flower in a greenhouse since that would do more bad then good with her character.
Zhu Zhuqing knew she could trust Chu Feng, yesterday when she was about to pass out she panicked inside her heart and thought that what if Chu Feng did something bad to her when she was passed out? Luckily he didn't do anything and merely layed her down on a soft bed and didn't even touch her clothes.
At 3 P.M Zhu Zhuqing passed out again and Chu Feng put her into the bed again, an hour later Zhu Zhuqing was ready to go again which impressed Chu Feng and made him like her even more due to the fact that she was an extreme 'Madwoman' with a character quite similar to his own.
''At this moment I'm thinking you let yourself fall the whole time so I would catch you'' Chu Feng laughed at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms who fell of the tree again, she could walk up a few steps without falling after only a day of training which made Chu Feng praise her, when she received Chu Feng's praise a slight smile was on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
That smile was the first smile he got out of her so far, although she would have a small blush on her face every time she fell into Chu Feng's, she didn't reject it either since it was the best way to avoid broken bones from a fall and it wasn't that bad of a feeling.
Chu Feng kept teaching Zhu Zhuqing while he was training his [Hymn Of The Fallen] close by, without them noticing it was already dinner time.
''How about you go eat with them instead'' Chu Feng said to her, he knew that she missed her friends.
''Its fine, training goes first and besides, that would mean you would eat alone since you're not the type to join them'' Zhu Zhuqing rejected his offer which made Chu Feng chuckle lightly.
''Just go, I lived in the forest since I was 6 and my only companion was my sword'' Chu Feng told her to go anyway since he didn't want her to be an outcast or anything, he didn't have much contact with people in his past life so he didn't know how they would react if she suddenly doesn't see them anymore.
''Fine, I will be back after dinner to train'' Zhu Zhuqing accepted and went back to the group, Chu Feng was thinking what to do, he heard there was something like a Combat Colosseum so he might aswell clear out the trash there and try to upgrade his Slaughter Aura into the next level.
Slaughter Aura was strong but he felt that it was currently to weak because of 1 major weakness,
Its Aura was only from killing Spirit Beasts and no humans!
Since there was a place that allowed killing and had tens of thousands of people go in and out everyday and he heard there was a normal rank-up system that went from:
Steel – Bronze – Silver – Gold.
The normal matches were also used a lot by academies to train their younger generation, Chu Feng didn't even take those matches seriously. If you don't fight with the threat of death then you're merely wasting time, sure, you get better control of your abilities but that's on your own tempo! If you fight an enemy then you're forced to surpass your limits time and time again and that was the way Chu Feng trained, Win Or Die.
'So the Combat Colosseum is perfect to kill, I won't even need to search for people with strong killing intent that deserve to die' Chu Feng had an evil smile on his face while his red eyes got brighter for a short moment.
An hour later Zhu Zhuqing came back and they started training again, at midnight they were talking to each other while laying on their respective beds.
Suddenly Zhu Zhuqing looked at Chu Feng and asked,
''Chu Feng, it seems that we will be going to the Combat Colosseum. How about you come with us?''
''Mmm...? You guys are going there aswell?'' Chu Feng asked with a surprised voice and looked towards Zhu Zhuqing.
''Yes, how about coming with us?'' Zhu Zhuqing kept looking at Chu Feng's face while laying on her side on her bed.
''Sure, I was going there anyway but I won't be joining you in the fights and when we are there I will still give you some training and some 'exams' '' Chu Feng smiled at her and told her that she shouldn't expect an easy time in there.
''That makes it even more fun'' Zhu Zhuqing had a small smile on her face while looking at Chu Feng.
''After the Combat Colosseum I will go to the Sunset Forest to train though'' Chu Feng told her.
''I..i see'' Zhu Zhuqing said in a small voice, she looked quite depressed by the news and looked up,
''Chu Feng, can you take me with you?''
