Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

After school, in the office.

"Yang Xian, this is compensation from the college."

The instructor pushed a slightly heavy metal box in front of Yang Xian.

Yang Xian took it and opened it casually.

The box was lined with soft velvet, on which lay two strange pieces of metal, one large and one small.

"Yes, yes! These are them!"

Lin Ai, who was beside her, nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling.

"Thank you, teacher." Yang Xian closed the box. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, take care." The teacher nodded and watched him leave.

Stepping out of the office, Yang Xian looked at the pink-haired girl: "What's the use of these two pieces of metal? Are they core materials for making mecha?"

"No!" Lin Ai chuckled, keeping everyone in suspense.

???

Is this girl playing a trick on me?

Yang Xian paused, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Didn't you say that these two pieces of metal were related to my mecha?"

"Look at you! You're in such a hurry again!" Lin Ai's voice carried a hint of coquettishness. "I didn't say it wasn't a problem!"

She cleared her throat and began to explain in a teacher's tone:

"These two pieces of metal are what I use for my experiments!"

"The larger one is called the 'Mental Vibration Stone,' a very rare and special metal that is generally used to amplify the detection range and intensity of mental power."

"It should be able to enhance my current spiritual strength!"

"That way, maybe I can influence the real world!"

Yang Xian roughly understood.

Lin Ai is now in a pure spiritual state, visible but intangible, much like a ghost.

To create a mech out of thin air under these circumstances is simply a pipe dream.

But if this "Soul Resonance Stone" can truly enhance her spirit and allow her to touch physical objects, then everything becomes possible.

"I understand the larger piece," Yang Xian nodded, then continued, "What about the smaller one?"

"That piece is called 'Singularity Obsidian'! It's the most crucial material in my mecha's core." Lin Ai's tone became even more excited:

"I intend to use it as a medium for interfering with the real world."

"If my spirit body is likened to a signal, then this 'virtual particle' is the terminal that receives the signal and executes the command."

Yang Xian understood once again.

If the "Spiritual Vibration Stone" was like installing a signal enhancement device on Lin Ai, this ghost.

This "Singularity Obsidian" is essentially like giving her a universal prosthetic limb!

This is like giving Lin Ai, this "ghost," a pair of hands that can touch everything.

By controlling this small piece of metal, you can perform delicate operations such as opening doors, taking cups, and even assembling parts.

Once this can be achieved, manufacturing mechs will no longer be just empty talk.

"Of course," Lin Ai added, as if to encourage herself, "these are just my guesses for now. Whether they will work or not, we will need to go back and do experiments to find out."

"Hmm, I think I understand..."

Yang Xian nodded.

In any case, the dream of building mechs finally has something to look forward to.

However, he hadn't gone far when he suddenly stopped.

Under the streetlights outside the faculty building, a familiar figure leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets, his baseball cap pulled low, giving off an unapproachable vibe.

Who else could it be but that wild girl, Liu Ruyu?

She seemed to notice Yang Xian's gaze and suddenly looked up.

Done!

Yang Xian felt a chill run down his spine.

Why isn't this woman leaving yet?

Since the training course ended, she has followed me everywhere I go, and I can't shake her off.

They've been bothering me for almost a whole day!

No, I have to get rid of her right now!

If she keeps following me like this, and Liu Qin sees me, then I'll be in deep trouble no matter what!

"Get out of here!"

Yang Xian activated the true energy within his dantian without hesitation.

Void Shadow Step!

His figure blurred instantly, turning into a blur as he sped off toward the school gate.

"Hey! Don't run away!"

Liu Ruyu was clearly not expected that he would suddenly run away. She was stunned for a moment before she reacted and took off after him.

But how could she possibly keep up with Yang Xian, who was using a divine-level technique?

In just a few breaths, Yang Xian's figure completely disappeared from sight.

Liu Ruyu stopped, panting, and supported herself on her knees, cursing angrily ahead.

"Are you born in the Year of the Rabbit? You run so fast!"

"You just wait and see! Let's see how long you can hide!"

------

the other side.

Yang Xian quickly appeared in the secluded parking lot where he had arranged to meet Liu Qin.

A tall and beautiful figure was already waiting there.

"Sister Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yang Xian quickly adjusted his breathing, put on a relaxed expression, and walked over calmly.

"No, I just arrived too." Liu Qin turned around, a gentle smile on her face.

She opened her arms, and Yang Xian stepped forward, and the two embraced gently.

Meanwhile, Yang Xian observed the other party's reaction discreetly.

Look at her like this...

He seemed unaware that Liu Ruyu was pestering him at school.

This means that the rumors hadn't spread that far, or at least hadn't reached her ears.

I can find a chance to explain when I get back; it should be enough time!

Now, let's leave this place of trouble first. If that barbarian girl catches up with us and we run into each other, that would be a real problem!

Thinking of this, Yang Xian released her and gently pinched her smooth cheek.

"Let's go, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Liu Qin didn't dodge; instead, like a young girl in love, she took Yang Xian's hand and gently shook it.

"I want to eat...snacks!"

Yang Xian: "..."

"Be serious!"

"I like anything you make!" Liu Qin looked at him with a smile, opened the car door, and got in.

Yang Xian shook his head helplessly and got into the passenger seat.

The car started smoothly and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

The atmosphere inside the car was warm and quiet.

"Oh, right..."

Liu Qin suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian, who was in the passenger seat, instinctively tensed up.

"I heard you had a conflict with someone at the academy today?"

call……

Yang Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, that's the question they asked.

"It was just a minor conflict, nothing serious." Yang Xian waved his hand. "The other party has already admitted their mistake, and I've received compensation from the academy."

"That's good." Liu Qin nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

The car merged into the traffic on the main road, and the scenery outside the window kept rushing past.

Sweating profusely, Yang Xian reached out and turned on the air conditioner.

The cool wind blowing on his face eased his tense nerves a little.

However, the next second...

"Oh, right, I also heard..."

The sound of the liuqin rang out again.

Yang Xian's heart, which had just been at ease, instantly jumped into his throat again.

Why are there still more?

He stiffly turned his head to look at Liu Qin in the driver's seat.

She asked slowly in a tone that revealed neither joy nor anger.

"You found a girlfriend at the college today..."

"Your name is Liu Ruyu?"
