My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 158 - 147: Imagination

Evening.

All members of Li Zheng’s squad had basically reached a beginner’s level.

Although some members still struggled with smooth technique transitions.

For instance, that Guo Cai was absolutely a brute.

He only had one move, rushing forward using ’Partial Enhancement’ to throw a punch.

Just one punch.

As for what comes after... there is nothing after.

Of course, some practiced better, like Zhou Jian, who had perfected his technique transitions and even started researching his own Authority Ability.

Whether good or bad, at least they reached the starting point. The rest is up to them to improve.

Chen Lusi couldn’t really be their instructor.

He also believed they should be able to adjust internally by themselves.

Thus, he didn’t continue offering more advice or teaching them more challenging Composite Techniques.

Mainly because the Composite Techniques he knew weren’t easy to teach...

The half-learned ’Invisible Blade’ he picked up from Lu Hao, the ’First Line’ taught by Xia Qiupan, ’Fury’ from Xia Yue, and the ’Interrupt’ developed based on his Authority Ability.

These techniques were either extremely difficult to practice, not even he could master them well,

or they were not his original creations, thus not suitable for passing on, and some couldn’t be taught at all.

So he didn’t make things difficult for Li Zheng and others, just helped replenish their Spirit occasionally, and sometimes acted as a sparring partner.

However, as more members reached the beginner’s level, even sparring wasn’t necessary anymore.

Because there was only one Chen Lusi, he couldn’t cater to too many people.

Many of the beginners couldn’t wait and simply started training with their colleagues, which was just right for mutual growth.

And the joy of rookies pecking at each other was indeed much more entertaining than getting hit alone.

So midway through being a sparring partner, Chen Lusi had some free time...he even had time to study his own techniques.

During this period, he didn’t go to Celestial Strategy Trading, and being in a rented room offered little space for practice.

But being outside changed everything.

He managed to squeeze some practice into his techniques during his spare moments.

As for the results...

The commonly used moves didn’t pose any issues, not rusty at all.

Lu Hao’s ’Invisible Blade’ could be conjured, but the time consumption was still high.

Unsure if his future advancement would allow larger scale control of external Spirit, causing any change.

Overall, there were no changes at present.

As for the issues...they were indeed there.

Chen Lusi felt that using the transforming blade on his arm for ’First Line’ indeed had some significant limitations.

Though wielding with such precision was impressive,

some aspects indeed lacked flexibility.

Besides, there’s a saying, the longer the blade, the stronger it is.

So Chen Lusi was contemplating whether to try using a sword to handle various situations...but wielding a sword made of flesh, and blood instinctively felt foolish.

"Why not try blood?"

Chen Lusi paused, glanced at his palm, deep in thought.

The Slashing Authority he possessed could not only twist his limbs into blades...it could also allow him to manipulate his blood to form blades.

However, he hadn’t tried it yet.

Because just the thought of the blood volume a sword would require... was daunting enough. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Mr. Chen."

At this time.

Li Zheng called out to him.

Chen Lusi snapped back to reality, looking towards Li Zheng, realizing at some point everyone had stopped, staring at him.

With a frightened expression.

Mainly because...Chen Lusi continually using ’First Line’ was honestly a bit terrifying.

The movements were completely unperceivable to the naked eye.

A constant sharp sound of air being sliced.

An almost terrifying impact.

Almost everyone who saw it couldn’t help but touch their neck, hair standing on end, yanking them back to reality.

They suddenly realized something.

This ’Instructor’ had joined Celestial Strategy Mansion just a month ago... yet didn’t seem as if putting in a little effort could easily beat him.

During the sparring earlier, he hadn’t even been serious.

"Just call me by my name."

Chen Lusi exhaled, lowering his hand: "What’s the matter?"

Li Zheng reminded him: "Let me take you back, you mentioned needing to be back by evening."

Chen Lusi glanced at the time, nodding: "Thank you."

The two walked towards the parking area.

Others watched them leave, not continuing to train but falling into silence.

In comparison to the technique Chen Lusi released earlier... what they were doing was just rookies pecking at each other.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi sat in the passenger seat.

Li Zheng started the car, and asked: "Was that ’First Line’ from Xia Yue earlier?"

"Yes."

Chen Lusi replied, then hesitated for a moment: "Do you want the others to learn it?"

"..."

Li Zheng shook his head, replied: "I’ve just become an Empowerer myself, but I am quite familiar with Xia Yue’s practices, I’ve heard countless times that his techniques are practically impossible to learn."

This type of technique requires talent and shows results slowly, which isn’t suited for everyone. Perhaps some people are suited, and I’ll talk to Xia Yue personally.

What we need right now isn’t some powerful technique, but practicality. The basic techniques you teach are very useful, they’re universally applicable, complement our strengths well, and the threshold isn’t high... I was just asking.

"I see."

Chen Lusi nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

"Thanks this time, the progress far exceeded expectations. I thought it would take at least a month to get started."

Li Zheng thought for a moment and said seriously, "Also, sorry for doubting you before."

"It’s nothing."

Chen Lusi turned his head to look out the window: "I haven’t done much, it’s your talent that’s good... If you have to thank me, let’s see if we can change Celestial Strategy Mansion."

"..."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then glanced at Chen Lusi, unable to help but smile: "I wasn’t quite convinced by what Xia Yue said before, but now I believe it."

"What?"

Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Li Zheng, somewhat puzzled.

"He said you’re actually a very justice-loving person, an old-fashioned gentleman almost to the point of awkwardness."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "It’s just because of the influence of your original family, you’re a bit lost in life and you’ve buried many things. If one day you want to take on responsibilities, you’ll certainly do better than anyone."

"... Such a statement is just an illusion."

Chen Lusi looked forward, shook his head, and said calmly: "For people who are pleasing to us, we often think of them in the best possible light, just like when couples determine their relationship, when unfamiliar, everything about the other seems good.

But such people only exist in imagination. Once you get to know them deeply, once you live together for a period, peel off the cloak of imagination, you’ll find that the other isn’t that perfect.

Xia Yue has that kind of evaluation just because he’s unfamiliar. You feel he’s right also just because of unfamiliarity, and it’s affected by what I just did.

Some time later, it might be different."

"Really?"

Li Zheng asked in return.

Chen Lusi nodded: "Hmm, I’m not that noble."

Li Zheng smiled, glanced at Chen Lusi again, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He understood this principle too.

But sometimes, we shouldn’t look at what someone says, but rather what they do.

...

An hour later.

Chen Lusi smoothly returned to the city center.

Instead of going back to his rented apartment, he went to Lin Ying’s place.

He got off the car and bid farewell to Li Zheng.

While walking towards the destination, Chen Lusi discreetly observed the surroundings.

But until he arrived at Lin Ying’s door, he didn’t see any white creatures.

Chen Lusi frowned slightly, temporarily suppressing his doubts, retracting his gaze, entered the password, and opened the door.

Lin Ying’s rented apartment in Jiangchang City was in a good location, not far from the school, in the bustling city center yet not very noisy.

The only drawback was that the old community was built almost twenty years ago, looking somewhat rundown.

But this wasn’t a big drawback, as people don’t live outside the community. As long as the inside of the house is cozy and convenient, it’s fine.

And Lin Ying probably thinks the same way. Even though the community outside looks a bit rundown, the inside is another scene.

The layout is three bedrooms and two living rooms, mainly in light tones, paired with minimalist furniture, spacious, open, and warm.

It has a homey feel.

Chen Lusi took a look around and then walked directly into the house.

And soon.

He found Lin Wan.

In the living room.

Lin Wan was wearing a small camisole pajama set, kneeling at the coffee table, sleeping soundly over a book. Perhaps she was sleeping so deeply, one side of the pajama strap slipped down, revealing a large area of pinkish white skin, like white porcelain.

"..."

Chen Lusi walked over, lifted her strap, and called her.

Lin Wan jolted awake, immediately sat up, a bit dazed looking to the side.

Upon noticing Chen Lusi standing next to her, she immediately reacted, blushed, raised her snow-white lotus arm, vigorously wiped her face, seemingly worried about drooling.

"Don’t worry, no saliva. Didn’t I tell you in advance I’d come?"

Chen Lusi sat down: "Why haven’t you changed clothes?"

"... Wasn’t I like this when I was little?"

Lin Wan relaxed upon hearing Chen Lusi’s words and put her hand down.

Then, she looked down at her clothes, somewhat puzzled, "Why should I change clothes when seeing you?"

"Childhood is childhood, how old are you now?"

Chen Lusi felt somewhat helpless: "And we’re going out to eat later."

"Don’t want to go out."

Lin Wan shook her head: "Changing clothes is so troublesome."

"But still, change clothes."

"... Why?"

"I’m not your real brother-in-law."

Chen Lusi was silent for a moment: "Even if I were your real brother-in-law, you need to be guarded, at least wear some undergarments."

"How could you..."

Lin Wan suddenly turned her head, stared at Chen Lusi with big, watery eyes, next moment, she realized what he meant, her face instantly turned pink and red, blushing to the ears.

She lowered her head and promptly tried to get up.

But after a brief attempt, she sat back down, looked up at Chen Lusi again, her face red, stammering, "Brother-in-law... my legs are numb."

"..."

Chen Lusi silently stood up, reached out to support her, letting her sit on the sofa.
