School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 418: Chapter 472 Martial Artist Potential

Life Essence Qi, wild as a stallion, raced incessantly through Chen Nan’s meridians, nourishing his blood and flesh, tempering his physical body.

Half an hour later, Chen Nan opened his eyes.

The Life Essence Qi contained within the Essence Fruit had been completely absorbed by him.

With the nourishment from this Life Essence Qi, although his inner strength cultivation remained unchanged, his physical body had grown much stronger than before. As a martial artist, his physical constitution took a major step forward, his explosive power far surpassing what it once was.

For Chen Nan, this was an enormous cause for celebration.

He once heard his master, Xuan Tianji, say that as a true martial artist, one should not rely solely on inner strength.

Within the human body lies endless potential. Only by unleashing this potential, cultivating the Martial Body, can you follow the true path to ultimate martial artist strength. Only with a strong body can more True Qi be stored.

The physical body is akin to a vessel, and True Qi is like water. Only by continuously expanding this vessel and excavating its potential can more water be stored.

Chen Nan reached into his chest and took out two golden pellets from his pocket, which were Golden Cores of cultivators.

True Qi surged in his hands, and the white True Qi enveloped the Golden Cores like flames, ceaselessly smelting and refining the Essence Qi within them.

Just before their deaths, these two cultivators had their True Qi shattered by Chen Nan; now, what remained inside the Golden Cores was less than one-tenth of the original.

However, as they were experts of the Qi Dao Ten Layers Heaven, even one-tenth of True Qi represented an incredibly vast power.

Chen Nan spurred his True Qi, persistently refining and absorbing.

After he had refined both Golden Cores, it was already past four in the morning.

Chen Nan opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air. Now he had taken a major step forward in strength, his cultivation reaching the peak of Qi Dao Ninth Layer. With just a sliver of opportunity, one more step could take him into the Ten Layers of Heaven.

Although only a thin line away, a true breakthrough required a transformation of the spirit.

The True Qi in his body was currently saturated; further cultivation and absorption would be futile. Only through a spiritual transformation, breaking through the cultivation barrier, could he truly be promoted.

”Now, even without the Hunyuan Sword, I have absolute confidence in slaying an expert of the Ten Layers of Heaven,” Chen Nan said.

Chen Nan got out of bed, took out his phone to check the time, only to find its screen pitch black.

Back in the Qianzhong Mountain Range, his phone had already run out of battery.

After replacing it with a new battery, Chen Nan turned on the phone only to be greeted with a ceaseless barrage of message notifications, with a whopping hundred messages, most of them missed call alerts.

Aside from several beauties from home, the numbers leaving missed call alerts included Huo Xinya, Li Xiao, and Jiang Xiaomi.

Beyond these missed call alerts was a text message from Li Xiao—

”Heard from Yun Fei during the day that you went out for errands, are you back? I miss you.”

Checking the time the message was sent, it was three o’clock in the morning. Li Xiao must have been unable to reach him by call and therefore sent a text.

It’s three in the morning, why is she still awake so late?

Now at half-past four in the morning, after hesitating, Chen Nan dialed Li Xiao’s number.

He intended to hang up if it rang twice without an answer, guessing Li Xiao must have fallen asleep, but as soon as the call connected, he heard Li Xiao’s excited voice, ”Hubby, this is the first time you’ve called me.”

Chen Nan said ruefully, ”Why are you up so late?”

”I was thinking about you,” Li Xiao said. ”Looking at your photos on my phone.”

Chen Nan felt touched by her, ”You silly girl, you should sleep earlier, or you’ll suffer from insomnia.”

”I already have insomnia,” Li Xiao said with a tone of helplessness. ”It’s all because you keep roaming in my mind, making it impossible for me to fall asleep.”

”So what should we do? You can’t just not sleep, right?”

”Well...”

After a moment of silence, Li Xiao said, ”Are you sleepy now? How about you come and keep me company, is that okay?”

”Okay, I’ll come over to you.”

As soon as Chen Nan agreed, he felt something was off and quickly added, ”But I’ve never been to your house; I don’t know where you live. Can you give me an address?”

”I might as well pick you up.”

”No need, just rest at home. Just tell me the address.”

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, ”Alright, Tianyu District, building XX.”

Chen Nan acknowledged and hung up the phone.

Since Su Qingqing and the others were already asleep, Chen Nan moved quietly, tiptoeing out of the house, and then he ran to the parking lot and drove out of the villa area in his BMW Z4.

It was past four in the morning now, and there were hardly any cars on the road.

Chen Nan opened the navigation and sped off, soon arriving at the district Li Xiao had mentioned.

This Tianyu District was a wealthy residential area, with cars in the parking lot each worth no less than five hundred thousand yuan. As soon as Chen Nan parked, he saw Li Xiao standing downstairs in her pajamas.

As it was quite cold late at night, she seemed to be shivering a bit.

Chen Nan didn’t bother looking for a parking spot and simply stopped by the roadside, then quickly ran over to hug her: ”Are you silly? You didn’t even put on more clothes before coming out. What if you catch a cold?”

Li Xiao leaned into his embrace: ”Knowing you were coming got me so excited, I forgot to put on more clothes.”

”How else could I say you’re a silly girl?”

Li Xiao gave him a look, ”You’re the silly one!”

Chen Nan pinched her face with a smile, ”I’m good for nothing, yet you worry about me so much. Tell me, aren’t you being silly?”

”Who says you’re good for nothing?”

With a firm tone, Li Xiao declared, ”I think you’re the best man in the world, bar none.”

”You think that because you’re silly.”

Chen Nan hugged her and walked inside.

Li Xiao didn’t live with her parents; she lived alone in a large apartment of over a hundred square meters.

Just as they entered, Li Xiao jumped up, hands on Chen Nan’s neck, with a smile, ”Husband, did you miss me? Kiss me.”

Chen Nan kissed her tender, soft lips and laughed, ”Beautiful, are you trying to tempt me into committing a crime?”

”What beautiful girl? I’m your lover, for goodness’ sake.”

Li Xiao moved in front of him, eyes fixated on him, ”Tell me, do you like it when I’m like this?”

”Well...”

Chen Nan looked up at the ceiling, pretending to be profound, ”This is a serious question. I think it deserves deep thought before answering.”

”Stop pretending with me. Deep thought about what? I think you just want to ’deeply understand’, right?” Li Xiao rolled her eyes flirtatiously.
