Ye Li already has some understanding of this kind of martial artist with a bit of talent.
If they think they can easily defeat him but are instead knocked down by him in a few moves, they will inevitably feel unconvinced.
To avoid such a situation, he never shows mercy. He aims to shatter these people's pride in one go, thus reaping a large amount of evil values.
He did a good job in the previous few times. Wang Ren, Shen Lian, and even Liu Yangde were all beaten to the point where they no longer had the courage to cause trouble.
Even if they still hold grudges against Ye Li, they dare not show it openly.
However, this time Jiang Qingzhu came to his door again not long after, which surprised Ye Li a bit.
It seems that a true martial arts genius like her is indeed different from those mediocre ones...
As his thoughts churned, Ye Li calmly asked:
"Do you need something from me?"
The true qi in his body circulated slowly.
Even though more than half of the true qi in his body was consumed due to activating [Golden Soul Revival] earlier, Ye Li was absolutely confident that he could defeat the other party within three moves.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingzhu took a deep breath, as if mustering great courage, and said seriously, "I want to apologize to you first."
"Apologize?" Ye Li raised an eyebrow, not understanding what the other person was up to.
"Yes, I heard everything you said in the hospital..."
Jiang Qingzhu nodded slightly and said apologetically, "I really had the idea of 'not wasting too much time on cultivation and resolving this matter as soon as possible', so I called you over."
"I have nothing to say about being defeated by you. I just hope you can accept my apology."
She spoke with great sincerity, and even Ye Li couldn't detect any signs of her pretending.
Moreover, if it were a pretense, it would be too over - the - top...
"I see." Ye Li was a bit disappointed. He had thought the other party was here to cause trouble.
But he still didn't completely give up and instead said indifferently:
"However, if you, Jiang, are sincerely apologizing to someone, the least you can do is kneel. Don't you even know that?"
"Kneel?"
A look of confusion appeared on Jiang Qingzhu's cold face. "What is that?"
"...Forget it."
Ye Li sighed. Since the other party was here to apologize and their attitude was fairly sincere, he didn't feel like asking for more.
For him, it's more interesting to force someone who refuses to repent, like Shen Lian, to do such a thing.
The wicked need to be dealt with by the wickeder. For someone like Jiang Qingzhu who has a positive attitude towards admitting mistakes, it's not a bad idea to give her a chance.
Thinking of this, Ye Li waved his hand and said impatiently:
"I reluctantly accept your apology. Please leave."
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing that Ye Li was about to close the door, Jiang Qingzhu quickly said.
At the same time, she unconsciously reached out her hand, trying to hold the closing door.
But the moment she made contact, she felt an overwhelming force. Her outstretched hand didn't even manage to slow down the door for a second and was knocked back.
Immediately after, the door slammed shut.
Bang!
[Made the simple - minded young miss of the Jiang family receive a cold shoulder. Evil value +200!]
Jiang Qingzhu stared blankly at the closed door in front of her, then looked at her slender palm.
Judging from their confrontation in the afternoon, the other party's strength should not be much different from her own.
But where did this overwhelming force come from...
Just as she was puzzled——
Creak!
The door in front of her reopened. Ye Li looked at her impatiently and asked:
"What else is there?"
Before she could figure out the reason for the powerful force, Jiang Qingzhu quickly said, "I have something else I'd like to trouble you with."
"Speak."
"Didn't you say this afternoon that my spear technique was like a pile of rubbish?" The girl asked seriously.
"Hmm?"
Ye Li suddenly became interested. From the meaning of the other party's question, did she want to cause trouble after apologizing?
Sure, she's learned the trick of being polite first and then resorting to force...
Ye Li immediately nodded and chuckled, "I said that. So what?"
Jiang Qingzhu nodded, then said in a rush, like showing off her treasures:
"You also said that my reaction speed was as slow as that of an old person and that I had an over - inflated sense of self - worth."
"That's right. So what?"
"Then please teach me."
In Ye Li's slightly astonished gaze, Jiang Qingzhu raised her small face and said seriously, "I'm willing to do anything as long as I can improve my spear technique."
"Teach you spear technique?"
After a moment of astonishment, Ye Li frowned and replied without hesitation:
"I refuse."
Are you kidding? He was already having a headache trying to find a suitable breathing method!
Moreover, he was extremely short of money. He couldn't even afford to buy some cultivation resources and a few high - quality new martial skills.
Ye Li was even considering whether to leave the city and enter a secret realm to hunt exotic beasts for money.
At this time, did she expect him to teach a young miss spear technique?
Not a chance.
"Moreover..."
"I'm not good at teaching either." Ye Li shook his head and said, "Find someone else."
As he spoke, he prepared to close the door again.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingzhu quickly said, "I can teach you everything I know in return. Anything!"
The closing door suddenly stopped. Ye Li cast a surprised look and asked, as if to confirm:
"Anything?"
If he remembered correctly, any S - grade breathing method would cost more than five million Hanxia Coins.
And they were all in short supply.
Basically, only the direct disciples of major sects could learn them, or those from certain aristocratic families with the direct bloodline could access them.
Teaching them to outsiders casually...
At least Ye Li had never heard of such a thing.
So, he really found it hard to believe that someone could be so naive.
Compared to that, it was more likely that she was trying to play a trick on him.
"Yes!"
As if seeing hope, Jiang Qingzhu's clear eyes lit up slightly, and then she said in a rush:
"You've just entered the second rank and haven't cultivated a breathing method yet. I can teach you my [Dust Mist Frost Snow]."
"This is an S - grade breathing method passed down through generations in our Jiang family. It will definitely help you!"
"I also know three or four second - rank martial skills of rare quality, and I've already initiated a third - rank martial skill. Wait for me a while, and I can teach you all of these."
After saying that, Jiang Qingzhu looked at Ye Li, who had fallen silent, feeling a bit dejected.
She couldn't be blamed for being anxious.
Jiang Qingzhu was well aware that her strength had been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time.
Although she had some talent in martial arts talents and breathing methods, and her martial arts level far exceeded that of most of her peers, her mastery of martial skills was truly a mess.
Several precious second - rank martial skills were all hovering at the proficient level and could never reach the [Great Completion] level of mastery.
The elders in the Jiang family who had cultivated these martial skills were all working on the front line against exotic beasts and had no time to teach her.
With the martial arts exam approaching, it was inevitable that Jiang Qingzhu was anxious.
So she had been working hard day and night, almost ignoring the affairs of the school team, all in the hope of making a breakthrough in her martial skill cultivation.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
If things continued like this, once she encountered an opponent with a similar martial arts level and comparable martial arts talent in the future, she would easily be at a disadvantage.
Jiang Qingzhu was well aware of this and kept looking for solutions.
Among the people she knew so far, Ye Li was the only one who had criticized her spear technique so harshly.
Moreover, relying on a text that was extremely incomplete, he could cultivate the [Heaven's Punishment Treading - Void Technique] to a level that seemed close to perfection!
So, even though the possibility was extremely slim, Jiang Qingzhu still wanted to give it a try.
Looking at the young man in white clothes, she bit her lower lip lightly and asked with some reluctance:
"Is... is it okay?"
With such an expression, it was really hard to tell that she was lying.
After confirming this——
Finally, in the eyes of this young miss of the Jiang family, full of anticipation
Ye Li took a deep breath and finally gave his answer:
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
"Then I will definitely turn you into the strongest spearman in the school."
