In an instant.

Su Chen felt himself being embraced by a soft body with a faint fragrance. Just now, he had hugged Lan Ge, but at this moment, it was Lan Ge who held him tightly.

"I'm fine..." Su Chen said instinctively, feeling a bit embarrassed. Lan Ge was truly kind, clearly thinking he was gravely injured or even dying, which caused her to react so strongly. But in reality, he was pretending, and he had overdone it, scaring Lan Ge.

"Don't speak," Lan Ge said firmly, holding Su Chen and disregarding any propriety between men and women. Her slender hands quickly stuffed various Elixirs into Su Chen's mouth.

Su Chen could only accept them; he couldn't just say, "I'm not injured at all, I was just fooling you," could he? In fact, he did sustain a little injury. After all, Lan Ge's strength was not weak, and taking a hit from her did hurt a bit, but he had already recovered in the blink of an eye.

These healing Elixirs were nothing more than candies to him.

After a while, Lan Ge finally felt somewhat relieved, as she felt that Su Chen's injuries seemed to have healed. Although she was curious about why his injuries recovered so easily, she didn't dwell on it. The notion of being Undying and Indestructible was too astonishing and unbelievable to be possible for a young man in the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Dominion Realm.

Lan Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, if Su Chen had really died, she would have regretted it for a lifetime. Although she had spilled much blood since beginning her martial arts cultivation, it was almost always the blood of those who deserved it. She did not like killing the innocent, and Su Chen had even risked himself to save her. If he had died, she might even have been plagued by demons of the heart because of it.

Thankfully.

As Lan Ge sighed in relief, she realized that she was still holding Su Chen. Their bodies were completely in contact. Previously, due to urgency, it didn't matter, but now it suddenly made her hold her breath.

Her heart pounded rapidly because it was such an intimate contact with the opposite sex!

She wanted to step back quickly, but considering Su Chen's injuries, she feared he might not have fully recovered. Would he be too weak? Would he fall to the ground if she let go? So she bit her lip softly and forced herself to persist, supporting Su Chen.

"I'm fine now; you don't need to hold me anymore." Su Chen, noticing Lan Ge's internal struggle and shyness, said.

"Don't speak," Lan Ge said with a slightly louder voice, "You're injured, listen to me."

Su Chen was speechless.

Alright, he might as well enjoy the feeling of being close to a beautiful woman.

"What's your name?" Then, as if to ease the awkwardness, Lan Ge asked. Deep inside, she felt a tremendous sense of gratitude towards Su Chen. Not only did he give her the Scarlet Yin Flower, but he also risked himself to save her in times of danger. She couldn't help but wonder, is this young man a fool? A big fool?

If Su Chen knew what Lan Ge was thinking at that moment, he would be dumbfounded. Am I a fool? Cough, cough... maybe one of us is.

"Su Chen." Su Chen did not hide his name.

"Su Chen?" Lan Ge furrowed her brow slightly, as if she had heard the name before but couldn't pinpoint where. Mainly because after entering Yanxu Palace, Su Chen secluded himself immediately, remaining so low-key that the name Su Chen wasn't well-known.

"I've truly recovered from my injuries," Su Chen said with a wry smile.

"Really?" Lan Ge still felt a bit uneasy.

"Really," Su Chen nodded.

Lan Ge tentatively released the hand supporting Su Chen, but still watched him closely, prepared to catch him again if he showed any signs of weakness.

Of course, it was evident that Su Chen was indeed fine.

"Earlier, I... I'm sorry, I thought..." Lan Ge apologized.

"No worries, it's me who was abrupt," Su Chen admitted with some embarrassment, coughing awkwardly.

"What is that hole?" Lan Ge changed the topic, turning to look at the deep pit with some apprehension.

"I don't know," Su Chen obviously wouldn't tell the truth and could only offer a benign lie.

"That hole is very dangerous," Lan Ge said solemnly. "We should leave here as soon as possible!"

"Alright," Su Chen did not refuse. He had already practiced the Earth Witch Mountain to a decent level; there was not much need to continue. It was time to return to Yanxu Palace, and it was time for revenge. Hopefully, Yuan Tianyan had already finished his secluded cultivation.

Afterwards, after collecting all the Scarlet Yin Flowers, the two walked out of the valley.

As they walked through the mountains and forests, their pace wasn't particularly fast. Maybe it was because they had obtained the Scarlet Yin Flower that they were in a good mood, and Lan Ge seemed to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Su Chen was in no rush either. He too felt quite pleased, after all, the Earth Witch Mountain was something truly terrifying.

A huge harvest.

"Su Chen, let me teach you a martial skill!" As they walked, Lan Ge suddenly stopped and looked at Su Chen seriously.

She had been hesitating for a while and finally decided to teach Su Chen a martial skill.

She mainly felt guilty towards Su Chen; he gave her the Scarlet Yin Flower and saved her, and she almost killed him in return. She genuinely felt guilty and wanted to compensate him.

Therefore, she decided to teach Su Chen a martial skill called Flying Spirit Sword Technique, which was a Mortal Shedding Level swordsmanship, absolutely top-level among the top-level.

Even in Yanxu Palace, only disciples from the Heaven Palace had the qualification to learn the Flying Spirit Sword Technique.

Normally, it was impossible for her to teach such a high-level martial skill to others, but she really didn't know what else to offer as compensation to Su Chen, so...

However, what she never expected was that Su Chen directly shook his head and refused!!!

Lan Ge was stunned, looking at Su Chen as if he were a fool: "I haven't even told you what martial skill I'm going to teach you. It's a top martial skill, a Mortal Shedding Level skill."

Yet Su Chen shook his head again: "No need."

Indeed, he didn't want to learn it. There was no need; for Su Chen now, fighting was about casually suppressing ninety-nine percent of the martial cultivators with ease. And for that one percent, he could use Soul Technique attacks, the Sky Extinguishing Sword, Sword Rhyme techniques. If all else failed, there were terrifying ultimate moves like Dark Oblivion. If necessary, he could always fall back on the Earth Witch Mountain, right?

It's not about the quantity of martial skills, but the quality.

Throughout Su Chen's journey in martial arts cultivation, the martial skills he mastered were not many and could even be considered very few. But his combat power had always been terrifyingly high, and that was because of quality.

Although a Mortal Shedding Level martial skill is indeed rare, compared to the Earth Witch Mountain, it pales in comparison!

There is no need to learn it.
