Yang Fei nodded, "So, if you practice martial arts, you can indeed cure your illness. You must not slack off, and you have to keep practicing consistently."

Liu Chan giggled and looked at Yang Fei mischievously.

"Master, don't worry, Chan'er won't be lazy."

"Whenever I practice boxing, my whole body heats up, and there's a warm sensation running through my body, like little mice scurrying about, it's quite fun."

Yang Fei hummed in agreement, knowing that the Essence Qi of this little girl had reached quite an advanced level.

He was always curious about the sword-shaped mark on Liu Chan's back and said,

"By the way, when you practice, do you feel anything from the sword-shaped mark on your back?"

Liu Chan blushed because her master had seen her completely when he observed the sword-shaped mark on her back.

Thinking about this, Liu Chan felt a little shy and anxious.

She recalled and answered truthfully.

"Master, every time I practice, I can feel the sword-shaped mark on my back emitting a warm and soft aura that spreads throughout my body."

"I think the reason why I broke through the Dark Force so quickly probably has something to do with this mysterious mark."

Yang Fei actually had already guessed this.

Throughout history, even Shakyamuni and Master Zhang probably didn't practice as quickly as Liu Chan.

The only special thing about Liu Chan is the sword-shaped mark on her back.

Yang Fei pondered for a moment and finally spoke, "Let me take a look."

Liu Chan's ears turned red in an instant.

Although she had been seen by Yang Fei before, she still felt terribly embarrassed each time.

However, Liu Chan would never refuse Yang Fei.

In her view, obeying Yang Fei was naturally rightful.

Yang Fei was also a bit awkward and added,

"No need to take off all your clothes, I just need to see your back."

Liu Chan nodded, slowly turned around, and faced away from Yang Fei, taking off her sky-blue shirt little by little to reveal half of her snow-white back.

Her delicate and exquisite spine, with the purple sword-shaped mark, had darkened in color.

It seemed to have grown bigger, spreading down along Liu Chan's spine, while near the large vertebrae, the purple mark expanded to the sides, resembling a sword hilt.

Yang Fei marveled and couldn't help but touch it with a finger.

Liu Chan trembled, and the warmth of Yang Fei's fingertips gave her an extraordinarily special feeling, almost like being electrified.

The pink hue quickly spread from Liu Chan's ear base to the back of her neck.

Yang Fei didn't need to think to know the young girl's face must be red.

Yang Fei secretly regretted it; he had understood Liu Chan's feelings for him long ago.

But Liu Chan is a good girl, Yang Fei didn't want to hold her back, thus he had to feign ignorance.

Yang Fei dared not look anymore and let Liu Chan put on her clothes.

Liu Chan dressed, tidied herself up, and then brewed a cup of tea for Yang Fei, bringing it over.

Liu Chan's face still carried a blush, making her youthful attractiveness even more captivating.

Yang Fei explained some boxing theories to Liu Chan.

Liu Chan collected herself and earnestly asked Yang Fei a few questions, all of which concerned unclear points in martial arts training.

These questions might be obscure to others.

But for Yang Fei, they weren't a problem, and he answered them all.

Liu Chan is a very smart girl; with Yang Fei's brief words, she comprehended it well.

Yang Fei felt grateful, had this jade not been discovered and guided in martial arts by him, she'd have been wasted.

He looked at Liu Chan's gentle gaze, not daring to remain for too long, so he talked briefly with her and then bid farewell.

Liu Chan reluctantly escorted Yang Fei to the hotel's entrance before heading back to the general manager's office.

Yang Fei left Lanting Hotel, got in a taxi, and headed straight for Yannan Polytechnic University, to Mi Xuan's laboratory.

Inside Mi Xuan Laboratory, Mi Xuan was completely focused on observing ants in a container.

In two glass jars, there were two groups of ants, both common black ants.

The only difference was that one of the glass jars contained a finger-sized piece of Mithril Ore.

This Mithril Ore was brought back by Yang Fei from Greenworth.

The legendary Lance of Longinus was said to be forged from this Mithril Ore.

But of course, that's just a legend.

Yang Fei gently pushed open the door, tiptoed over to Mi Xuan.

Looking at Mi Xuan's petite figure in a white coat, he felt a warm sensation and hugged Mi Xuan from behind.

Mi Xuan was startled; she turned around, and upon seeing Yang Fei, was immediately filled with surprise and joy.

She turned to hug Yang Fei, giving him a deep kiss.

"When did you get back? You didn't even inform me."

Yang Fei laughed, "Isn't this me coming to see you? What are you studying?"

Mi Xuan shyly smiled and pointed at the ants in the glass jar, "I'm observing ants."

Yang Fei was curious, "What ants? Hmm, this Mithril Ore, isn't it what Professor Mi brought from Greenworth?"

Mi Xuan nodded, "Grandpa brought it back and gave me a bit."

"I also want to know what mysterious properties this thing has."

Yang Fei chuckled, casually putting his arm around her shoulder, "How is it? Have you found anything new?"

Mi Xuan's expression turned serious, pointing at the ants in the jar.

"Believe it or not, I've found something."

Before Yang Fei could ask, she continued.

"I caught two groups of ants, raising them separately, one in a normal glass jar, the other in a jar containing Mithril Ore."

"And I discovered the ants in the jar with Mithril Ore were stronger, and their temperament more aggressive."

Yang Fei was shocked, "Is there really such a thing?"

Mi Xuan nodded, extending a glass rod into the jar; the ants climbed up the rod.

Mi Xuan, using this method, caught a few ants from both jars and placed them in one Petri dish.

She applied a little red paint on the ants from the jar with Mithril Ore.

Then, she picked up a spray bottle and spritzed a little aerosol into the Petri dish.

Yang Fei watched in puzzlement, not knowing what Mi Xuan intended.

Just then, five or six ants in the Petri dish suddenly became agitated and began biting each other.

Mi Xuan explained, "This aerosol is specifically used to stimulate ants' combat awareness, and soon you'll see the results."

The battle in the Petri dish ended in about ten seconds.

Sure enough, as Mi Xuan said, the ants marked with red easily defeated the ordinary ants, biting them to death.

Yang Fei's eyes widened, "Is this due to the Mithril Ore?"

Mi Xuan nodded, "I suspect that this Mithril Ore indeed contains a peculiar power."

"This power radiates, stimulating the growth of ants, making ordinary ants stronger."
