Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Chen Mo lay on the sofa, recalling Wang Jun's words and attitude towards the Zhao family at the hospital.

It's not hard to tell from Wang Jun's attitude at the time that the Zhao family was not only wealthy in the area, but also held considerable power.

In the past, he was just an ordinary person, and he would have avoided such people as far away as possible.

Now?

He was a Grandmaster-level expert, with a punch carrying the force of 150,000 jin. In his eyes, these people were nothing but nobodies.

If you actually do it yourself, it's considered bullying.

He didn't need to worry about this at all; he could just leave it to Ye Yunshu.

No matter how powerful the Zhao family in Hangzhou is, can they be more powerful than the Ye family in Beijing?

To put it bluntly, in his eyes, the Zhao family was just a grasshopper, someone he could crush at will.

The only thing I could worry about was my parents and sister back in my hometown.

I left behind instructional videos and elixirs when I went back last time, but I don't know how far they've progressed in their training.

Ordinary people lack the ability to protect themselves, and if someone takes advantage of their weaknesses, it will always be troublesome.

Once his family members have improved their skills and are able to defend themselves, he will truly have no worries.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone, found his mother's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang three times before it was answered.

"MoMo? You actually know how to call back? I called you several times and no one answered. I thought something had happened to you."

The mother's voice carried a hint of reproach.

Chen Mo smiled and casually made up an excuse.

"I've been in seclusion for a few days recently and haven't been looking at my phone much."

"I know, I know. Xingyao already told me on the phone. Your dad and I have been busy practicing the martial arts you taught us lately."

The mother immediately became interested.

"You know what, those martial arts techniques you taught us last time were truly amazing! Your dad and I have both reached that sixth level of what you called 'Refining Something'!"

"Your body is incredibly strong. Before, carrying just two loads of grain would leave me with a sore back, but now I can carry two or three hundred pounds without even breaking a sweat. Your father's illness is completely cured too."

"Then keep practicing."

Chen Mo spoke up.

"The higher your cultivation level, the better your health will be, and you will be free from minor illnesses and ailments in the future."

"Hey, it's good enough."

The mother smiled and waved her hand.

"I have more energy now than when I was younger."

Just as Chen Mo was about to offer a few more words of advice, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the phone, followed by a clear female voice that rang out like a firecracker.

"Brother! You still remember to make a phone call! Have you forgotten about your own sister?!"

It's Chen Xiaoxi.

"You don't call, you don't reply to WeChat messages, and you didn't even ask about my college entrance exam! What kind of brother are you?!"

Chen Xiaoxi spoke rapidly, giving Chen Mo no chance to interrupt, "I thought you'd made a lot of money and then stopped recognizing us!"

Chen Mo's lips curled into a smile.

"I'm busy making money so I can support your big appetite."

"Don't give me that!"

Chen Xiaoxi's voice rose another notch.

"Mom told me everything! You're making so much money now, you can't even spend it all! And! You actually have two girlfriends! Two, brother! You used to blush when you saw girls, how come you're such a jerk now! You don't even care about my college entrance exam, do you even care about your sister anymore?!"

"What do kids know?"

The mother stood by, smiling and trying to smooth things over.

"That's because your brother is capable."

"What kind of ability does he have! Mom, you just spoil him!"

Chen Xiaoxi was unconvinced.

Chen Mo spoke slowly, and with one sentence, he seized her fatal weakness.

"Want a gift? Want a big red envelope?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Xiaoxi made a complete 180-degree turn, her voice becoming sickeningly sweet, with the last syllable drawn out.

"My dear brother—I knew you loved me the most! I was just joking with you. Please don't take it to heart."

The mother was laughing uncontrollably.

"You little brat, you change your mind faster than turning the pages of a book, aren't you ashamed?"

"What's there to be ashamed of?"

Chen Xiaoxi spoke with righteous indignation.

"It's only natural for my brother to give me a red envelope."

Chen Mo smiled and asked.

"How did you do on the college entrance exam?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoxi immediately became proud.

"Hmph! Over 650 points! How about that, impressive, right? I told you I was a genius, much better than you were back then!"

"He's definitely much better than your brother."

Chen Mo spoke in a flat tone.

"I'll send you a big red envelope later as a reward."

"Yay! Thanks, bro!"

Chen Xiaoxi cheered on the other end of the line, muttering to herself.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"Have you started practicing?"

Chen Mo asked again.

"You practiced!"

Chen Xiaoxi immediately replied.

"I started training with my parents as soon as I got home after the exams, and I'm already at the ninth level of Body Refinement! I'm faster than both of them! How about that, my talent is better than yours, right?"

"Good, good, good. Not only are you smart, but you're also very talented. You're truly a chosen one."

Following her words, Chen Mo then changed the subject.

"I have a task for you. Your parents feel they've practiced enough and don't want to continue. You're quick-witted, so try to persuade them to keep practicing and not give up halfway."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoxi immediately lowered her voice, as if she were doing something wrong, afraid that her mother next to her would hear.

"I can offer advice, but what's in it for me? I'm a very pragmatic person."

"You'll get your share."

Chen Mo chuckled.

"If you succeed, there's a reward."

"make a deal!"

Chen Xiaoxi patted her chest and agreed.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission! I promise I'll convince Mom and Dad to practice every single day!"

After chatting for another ten minutes or so, and giving a few more reminders to be careful, Chen Mo finally hung up the phone.

He leaned back on the sofa, his fingertips still resting on the phone screen, a lingering smile on his lips.

My family is safe and sound, and my spiritual level is also rising, which is better than anything else.

Just then, Lu Xingyao and Ye Yunshu walked in one after the other. Both of them were wearing training clothes, their foreheads were covered in sweat, their hair was stuck to their cheeks, and their chests were rising and falling slightly.

"You scumbag! You've come out of seclusion!"

Lu Xingyao's eyes lit up the moment she saw the person on the sofa. She took a step forward, but stopped abruptly after a couple of steps. She looked down at her sweat-soaked clothes and wrinkled her nose.

"Never mind, I'm covered in sweat and stinks. I'm going to take a shower!"

After saying that, she ran into her bedroom like a bouncy little rabbit.

Ye Yunshu's gaze fell on Chen Mo's face.

"Brother Mo..."

"We'll talk about it later. Go take a shower first."

Chen Mo interrupted her.

Ye Yunshu nodded slightly and went into the bedroom to wash up.

About half an hour later, the two of them came out one after the other.

Lu Xingyao changed into a spaghetti strap nightgown, revealing her arms and legs, her skin dazzlingly white.

She ran to the sofa in her slippers, then leaned against Chen Mo and fell into his arms, hugging his arm and burying her head in his neck, whimpering softly.

"I'm exhausted! I'm so exhausted! During the few days you were in seclusion, Sister Yunshu made me practice martial arts every day. I feel like my arms have gotten a lot thicker."

Chen Mo raised his hand and ruffled her hair without saying a word.

Ye Yunshu also changed into a loose set of home clothes, wearing stockings, and sat next to Chen Mo with her legs together and her back straight.

She picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, looked up at Chen Mo, and spoke calmly.

"Your major general rank has been finalized, and my second brother, Ye Jingge, has already brought you to Hangzhou. Shen Yi, Han Zi'ang, and Zhou Zitao have also come along."

Chen Mo burst into laughter.

"Good timing. Let the Zhao family have a showdown with them and see how tough the Zhao family really is."
