Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

"First, we need to understand the basic components and theoretical basis behind the immobilization spell."

"This part of the course includes Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, and the I Ching..."

Chu Zhong hadn't even finished explaining the outline of the course content.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan immediately clutched her head and said, "My head is all messed up right now, let's learn next time we meet."

Chu Zhong nodded, since he didn't expect the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan to understand this knowledge anyway.

The ten times I didn't attack him were practically a free gift to him.

"Well... in order to meet again sooner, Xiaolan, you need to cooperate with me so that the battle can end quickly, understand?"

Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, nodded obediently.

Now, Chu Zhong no longer needs to worry about being attacked suddenly, and can completely relax and focus on the great cause of scraping, striving to empty the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan's health bar of over one million as soon as possible.

After the initial preparations, Chu Zhong fought with increasing courage and high morale, gradually entering a steady and unhurried pace of attack.

Each swing finishes perfectly, seamlessly connecting to the next attack.

Like piano notes pressed down by the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan, they played one after another in an orderly fashion.

Chu Zhong could feel himself becoming one with the weapon, tempering himself with each attack, his temperature gradually rising...

Unfortunately, it didn't last more than a few seconds before Chu Zhong was forced to break free from this state, and his offensive was chaotic for several seconds before returning to normal.

Is this what the "flow" state is like?

Chu Zhong muttered to himself.

The term "flow" refers to a state of complete absorption and immersion in something, during which learning or doing something becomes exceptionally efficient.

"Uh...uh..."

All I could hear was the soft, enduring groans of Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic.

"Xiao Lan, you don't have to hold it in." Chu Zhong wanted to hear more syllables.

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan asked in bewilderment, "But this attack feels like a tickle, and I don't feel like laughing... it just gets more and more uncomfortable... until..."

Chu Zhong:......

It's his fault, all his fault. His attack power is too low; he's only good for scraping.

Actually, Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, has a nice voice, but sometimes I just want to hear something else...

"Hmm...right..."

Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan suddenly spoke up: "Teach me how to become a cannibal."

"Cannibals...?" Chu Zhong was still thinking about the flow of consciousness and didn't come back to his senses for a moment.

“Yes, just like you always do,” said Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic. “It makes me lose all my strength.”

“I could teach you…” Chu Zhong asked curiously, “But why do you suddenly want to learn this?”

"To defeat you!" Martial arts fanatic Xiaolan said matter-of-factly, "If I learn this fighting style, I can find opportunities to absorb your power in the future!"

It must be said that Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, is truly honest; she answers every question.

Since Xiao Lan, who was obsessed with martial arts, took the initiative to learn, Chu Zhong was happy to teach her everything he knew and immediately began to teach the cannibalistic beginner course.

After a brief explanation of the key points of the first lesson...

"Like last time we drank together?" asked Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic.

Chu Zhong nodded and then began one-on-one instruction.

Of course, the scraping therapy never stops.

What's even more amazing is that after the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan showed a proactive attitude towards learning, Chu Zhong was able to enter a state of flow from time to time...

During the event, the martial arts fanatic Xiaolan also demonstrated the countermeasure she came up with after researching weapons last time: transform into an octopus! And entangle it tightly!

This action can greatly restrict the opponent's...that is, Chu Zhong's mobility when attacked by weapons.

Chu Zhong was deeply shocked and impressed by this astonishing wisdom. He then instructed Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, to use this move again at a crucial moment, such as when he suddenly stopped attacking...

[Cleared the dungeon without taking damage, dungeon rating: S]

The system notification sound snapped Chu out of his daze.

The feeling of being immersed in flow was wonderful. In the end, he seemed to become one with his weapon, transforming into burning steel after hundreds of swings, delivering the most fiery blow, and making a glorious exit.

Judging from her performance, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, was indeed telling the truth; she was truly talented and quickly mastered the essentials of the cannibalistic beginner's course.

And that octopus entanglement move is the essence of the technique.

These are all factors that help Chu Zhong occasionally enter a state of flow.

[Experience gained: 10000, Spiritual Essence gained: 11000]

Current Spiritual Energy: 67800

To Chu Zhong's delight, although Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic in the wedding scene, had more health, the rewards for clearing the dungeon had also increased.

[Materials Obtained: 3 Cold Iron Leaves, Exquisite Inner Core]

[Item Obtained: Bouquet *20]

"Hand bouquet": A common bouquet in weddings. Placing it nearby can have a calming effect and is effective for 24 hours after placement.

Calm your mind?

Upon seeing the keywords in the description, Chu Zhong's eyes lit up.

This is probably the item I've been longing for, the one that can help with mental recovery!

Chu Zhong immediately took out a bunch of items from the inventory and placed them on the bedside table.

A gentle sniff reveals a delicate floral fragrance that soothes even the most tense mind.

But soon, Chu Zhong lost his composure.

Because it was already 5 a.m.!

In other words, he was in a state of intense "gua sha" (a form of internal healing) in the dungeon for five hours straight!

"Oh no, Xiaolan..."

Chu Zhong ran quickly toward the Maoli family's house.

Chapter 35 You'll get beaten up if you don't take your date seriously

In order to end the dungeon as soon as possible and minimize the impact on Xiaolan in reality, Chu Zhong is already working hard to deal damage.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lan, the martial arts fanatic, had an incredibly high health pool. Even after reaching a no-attack agreement, it took five hours of relentless fighting to finally deplete her health.

I'm worried about Xiaolan's situation in real life.

Chu Zhong ran quickly to the Maoli house and opened the door with his key.

The third floor was quiet at five in the morning.

Only by listening attentively can one detect that faint breathing sound.

Chu Zhong went straight to Xiao Lan's room and found the door ajar, requiring some effort to push it open.

When the door was opened wider, it was Xiaolan leaning against the door, her pretty face flushed, her breathing disordered, and she looked like she had just been pulled out of the water, her pajamas sticking to her skin.

It seemed he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Xiao Lan, are you alright?"

Chu Zhong quickly picked up Xiao Lan, intending to put her back on the bed.

However, the sheets and blankets were also quite wet, making it unsuitable for resting.

"water……"

Ran Mouri's eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes with difficulty and uttered a single word.

Chu Zhong understood, carried Xiao Lan to the kitchen, and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.

As expected, the combat intensity in the new scenario dungeon is still too high.

Even though the impact on reality has been reduced, this continuous state of combat still causes serious disruption.

The elevated body temperature, drenched sweat, and impact feedback from intense battles in the instance were all reflected in reality.

If it were like the Conan instance, it would be fine; Chu Zhong could close the instance in just ten minutes.

But then there's Xiaolan, the martial arts fanatic, with 120 million HP...

"call……"

Chu Zhong poured three 500ml bottles of mineral water into Xiao Lan's mouth before he heard her satisfied sound of quenching her thirst.

After a brief moment's thought, Chu Zhong picked up Xiao Lan and went into the bathroom.

"Chu Zhong..."

Ran Mouri opened her eyes and, upon realizing she was in the bathroom, lightly bit her lower lip, her blush seeming to deepen.

Chu Zhong hurriedly explained, "There's no suitable place, so let's rest here for now and take a hot bath; that should make us feel better."

As he spoke, he gently laid Xiaolan down, letting her lie back in the bathtub, and slowly added hot water.

While waiting for the hot water to fill up, I took two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the caps, and placed them on the shelf next to the bathtub so that Xiaolan could rehydrate.

As for Xiaolan's current outfit—pajamas clinging to her body and appearing semi-transparent as if soaked in water—it is indeed very attractive.

Fortunately, Chu Zhong and the martial arts fanatic Xiao Lan had developed a certain composure from their fights, so they didn't easily lose their composure.

Knowing the importance and urgency, Xiaolan was feeling weak and unwell and needed to rest.

After all, the real-life Xiaolan doesn't have 120 million HP to mess around with...

"If anything happens, you can call me. I'll be outside."

"Um……"

After the bathtub was filled with hot water, Chu Zhong gave a few words of advice, and after Xiao Lan nodded, he prepared to leave the bathroom.

However, when she reached the door, she stopped, placed something on the shelf, and then walked out of the bathroom and closed the door.

"That is……"

Ran Mouri looked over and saw a delicate bouquet of flowers, her pretty face flushing again.

"Honestly, it's just a normal date... and they actually bought flowers so early in the morning..."

The girl muttered a complaint under her breath, but couldn't hide the upturned corners of her mouth.

The pajamas buttons were undone one by one...

More than half an hour later,

Chu Zhong was in the kitchen when he heard the sound of a door opening next door.

Turning my head, I saw Xiaolan hurrying by, wrapped in a bath towel, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms.

That was something Chu Zhong specially placed in the bathroom to help him relax.

A simple breakfast for three people was ready. Chu Zhong took two portions to the table and put one in the microwave to keep it warm.

But after waiting for almost ten minutes, Xiaolan still didn't come out of the room.

"If we don't come out soon, our breakfast will get cold."

Chu Zhong arrived at the door and knocked gently.

"Oh... Chu Zhong, you eat first, I'm not finished yet..."

Xiaolan's reply came from inside the room.

What are you busy with inside?

Chu Zhong couldn't guess, so he decided not to.

Back in the living room, I ate my breakfast and put Xiaolan's breakfast in the microwave as well.

He then lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
