Chapter 356: 356. Protein must be supplemented every day

The scorching sun hanging over the desert!

The high-temperature, dry climate is enough to slowly kill most living creatures.

“Bang!”

Fang Zhou punched the third sibling flying as she pounced towards him.

She tumbled hundreds of meters away, crashing into a sand dune, her upper body buried with only two feet left wobbling outside.

The eldest sibling transformed into a giant ten zhang tall, delivering a punch at Fang Zhou.

“Boom!”

The sand was blown apart by the eldest sibling’s punch, scattering countless fine grains into the air.

Fang Zhou dodged the punch of the eldest sibling, swiftly climbing up her arm and launching a kick at her head.

The eldest sibling was knocked backward, collapsing onto the sand with a loud rumble, scattering a wave-like surge of sand.

While Fang Zhou was still in mid-air, the fourth and fifth siblings simultaneously unleashed torrents of water and scorching flames at him.

Fang Zhou activated the Ripple Divine Skill, gliding over the water, effortlessly dodging the flames and leaping towards the fifth sibling.

The fifth sibling continued to spray water at Fang Zhou, but he glided along without even a drop landing on him.

Seeing the water attack was ineffective, the fifth sibling switched to unleashing lightning.

Fang Zhou swiftly landed beside her, pressing his hand against her mouth.

With a thunderous boom, lightning exploded in the fifth sibling’s mouth, leaving her face charred, with blue smoke streaming from her mouth, nostrils, and ears as she fell straight down.

Having dealt with the fifth sibling, Fang Zhou quickly leaped aside as the fourth sibling’s thunderbolt slashed through the air, leaving a charred trail.

Fang Zhou retaliated with the Ripple Divine Fist, hitting the fourth sibling’s abdomen from a distance, sending her flying away.

Cheng Xing and Little Seven yelled, simultaneously shooting vines at Fang Zhou from the left and right, hoping to bind him.

Compared to the previous four, these two were completely the extra fifth-tier residues in battle.

Fang Zhou grabbed the vines and forcefully pulled, causing Cheng Xing and Little Seven to crash into each other heavily, falling down with stars in their eyes.

Fang Zhou surveyed the surrounding area, suddenly flicking his hand towards a particular direction, sending out a ripple.

“Ah!”

The sixth sibling, who was preparing to escape, was hit on the butt by the ripple and fell headfirst into the sand.

As the calabash siblings were defeated, the surrounding desert scenery transformed, reverting into the stone platform on the mountain peak.

This was within the illusion, where Fang Zhou was referencing Chang Kong’s method for special training of the calabash siblings.

Although Ling Xiaoyue tricked him once after the return, that woman ran away, and Fang Zhou suddenly felt it wasn’t bad after all, not having to see her punchable face all day was rather pleasant.

The only problem was that his private stash was stolen by Ling Xiaoyue, making it temporarily impossible for Fang Zhou to implement the plan to “power up by charging money” for the calabash siblings.

But he couldn’t just waste time waiting, so Fang Zhou started learning from Chang Kong’s private lessons, conducting special training for the calabash siblings, borrowing the usage rights to the illusion from True Master Yu Jian.

Originally, only the eldest, third, and fourth siblings were being trained, but considering Cheng Xing always ended up crying for parental aid during her solo instructions due to her poor combat skills, Fang Zhou included her.

If the five sisters are involved, naturally the sixth and seventh can’t escape; he simply dragged everyone in to train together.

To improve the training effect, Fang Zhou suppressed his own power to the Foundation Establishment Realm, not using Innate True Qi or the Xuanyuan Sword.

Seeing Fang Zhou suppress his power, the calabash siblings beamed with joy, gearing up with clenched fists to settle old scores.

Unfortunately, within a few days, they were beaten so badly they cried for parental help; Fang Zhou now wasn’t the rookie in the Cultivation World back at Lanruo Temple, Foundation Establishment Realm was more than enough to crush the seven calabash siblings.

How you act in the illusion doesn’t matter, so Fang Zhou didn’t hold back, indulging himself freely, tormenting them almost to the brink of a psychological shadow.

The calabash siblings’ performance left Fang Zhou slightly disappointed, but it was expected.

He planned to teach them the Ripple Divine Skill; this wasn’t a cultivation method, even those who haven’t undergone transformation can learn it, greatly enhancing combat power once mastered.

The process of training and cultivation was arduous, and the calabash siblings complained endlessly, but under Fang Zhou’s fist, they could only grit their teeth and endure.

The most laborious among the seven sisters was Cheng Xing, enduring the special training within the illusion during the day and Fang Zhou’s solo instruction at night, visibly thinning to the point Fang Zhou had to provide protein-rich supplements daily.

Besides special training for the calabash siblings, Fang Zhou also needed to update his new works as Old Teacher Ji, not relying solely on a few old collections to appease fans.

At the same time, he needed to provide adult comic plots, else Cheng Xing couldn’t write, and he also had to offer advice for the encyclopedia of Magic Treasures.

He also had to make time to visit Heavenly Sword Peak to drink tea with Sister Chang Kong, nurturing connections, and occasionally visit Iron Sword Mountain and Taobao City to resolve issues with tenant merchants.

Suffice to say, since returning from the Chu Kingdom’s Capital, Fang Zhou was occupied nonstop, leading a busy and fulfilling life.

Fortunately, Yu Qing was now busy writing spell encyclopedias, leaving her no time to bother Fang Zhou, otherwise, he would have had to squeeze time daily to accompany her.

However, while missing Yu Qing, it added Wu Lin, who upon knowing Fang Zhou had returned home, would frequently visit Moon Viewing Peak.

Wu Lin’s enthusiasm somewhat overwhelmed Fang Zhou, so he simply tossed her into the illusion, letting her train with the calabash siblings.

This fulfilling life hadn’t passed for long when Fang Zhou received a special meeting invitation.

The inviter was Gou Cheng!

Gou Cheng hadn’t appeared in person but had someone send a message, inviting him for a private meeting at a secluded mountain in Cloud Sea Mountains at noon tomorrow.

Truth be told, the only interaction Fang Zhou had with Gou Cheng was during the trip to the Chu Kingdom’s Capital.

Besides that, he had neither a friendship nor business relations with Gou Cheng, the former Heartthrob of Heavenly Sword Sect, but a considerable possibility of being rivals in love.

The former Heartthrob invites the current Heartthrob for a meeting, likely with bad intent.

“Could it be he wants to settle things with me?”

Fang Zhou stroked his chin, pondering Gou Cheng’s intention for inviting him for a meeting.

Rumor has it Gou Cheng secretly crushes on one of the three True Disciples, and through Fang Zhou’s observation, Xuan Ling and Gou Cheng can be ruled out; these two are utterly incompatible, unlikely to mutually like each other.

Thunderstorm never showed so no consideration, based on Gou Cheng’s character and experience, the person he most likely has a crush on is indeed Yu Qing.

But the relationship between Fang Zhou and Yu Qing is apparent to anyone, Gou Cheng certainly isn’t excluded.

If he genuinely intends to be the third party, this solitary invitation to Fang Zhou for a meeting likely aims to settle it.

Fang Zhou can almost visualize Gou Cheng telling him “I want to compete fairly for the heart of Senior Sister Yu Qing!” with a competitive face.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking you’re dreaming if you want to compete fairly with me, watch me break your legs tomorrow.

Fang Zhou decided internally, striking first and sparing last causes trouble.

If Gou Cheng truly has the audacity to “settle” with him tomorrow, Fang Zhou resolved to tweak the guy’s sexual orientation, bending him from a straight man to the submissive partner, preventing any possible competition!
