Chapter 39: Plan

Two hours passed quickly.

Chen Yiming was a person who was extremely serious about cultivation. Naturally, he would not reduce the duration of the class. After ten o’clock, he extended the lecture by another ten minutes since he started the class late.

A dejected Chen Yingying followed Chen Yiming out of the training center.

Her performance today was terrible. It was hard to believe that she was Chen Yiming’s sister.

At the start of the class, Chen Yingying was sitting alone in a corner, watching Chen Yiming’s lesson. The students of the swordsmanship class were curious about what connections she had to allow her to join the class so quickly.

During the practice session, Chen Yiming wanted to learn more about his sister’s swordsmanship, so he let her join the group to train together.

With this, Chen Yingying’s identity was exposed. The students of the swordsmanship class knew that the new girl was the teacher’s sister.

However, what happened next took everyone by surprise. Chen Yingying’s performance was completely beyond everyone’s expectations. Her performance revealed that she had just started practicing martial arts for a few months and had yet to master all the basic sword moves.

“Brother, why don’t I just stay at home after all? I’m really not good at martial arts,” Chen Yingying lowered her head and whispered.

The gazes of the surrounding swordsmanship students had made her feel extremely uncomfortable earlier. She felt that she had embarrassed her brother.

Chen Yiming walked ahead and thought to himself, “Indeed, in the novels from my previous world, the setting of having a useless brother and a genius sister was just a lie. They were born from the same parents, and their physique was inherited from the previous generation. How could there be such a huge difference?”

“Yingying, there’s no need to be anxious. The first stage of martial arts is the disciple realm. You can rely on cultivation resources to get through this stage. Coincidentally, I got quite a lot of good stuff from my job earlier,” Chen Yiming turned around and consoled her.

He was not too worried about Chen Yingying getting through the first disciple realm, since it was only concerned with tempering of the body.

By the time Chen Yingying started tempering her body, he might have already broken through to the warrior realm.

By then, he might be able to obtain many rare items that could help her to break through the first and second transformations.

Chen Yingying finally felt better after hearing what her brother had said. Her brother was so powerful now, he would definitely not say anything just for show, so it must be as he said.

…

At the same time, on another street, Wang Junyi and Yu Weisheng were walking along the road and chatting about the interesting things that happened that day.

They were both students from Chen Yiming’s swordsmanship class.

“Aren’t you always feeling envious of He Tianli? He eats the mutant beast meat like a staple. Now, the opportunity is right in front of you,” Wang Junyi joked.

Yu Weisheng rolled his eyes and said coldly, “Why don’t you go? I’ll help you come up with ideas behind the scenes. Once you succeed, you can take care of me, your brother.”

“Then forget it. I’m afraid her brother will break my leg. Besides, why would she like me? I’m not handsome,” Wang Jun said with a smile.

“Then why are you still urging me to go? Do you want me to die? You don’t have good intentions,” Yu Weisheng said unhappily.

“I was just kidding, don’t mind it too much. But honestly, you’re different from me. Girls like pretty boys like you. Are you really not going to try?” Wang Junyi tried to persuade him again.

In the eyes of the male students, Chen Yingying was just a girl from a rich family. If they were lucky enough to chase her successfully, they would be able to solve the problem of their lack of cultivation resources.

The reality was just that dark. Many people had already started to secretly observe and collect information about Chen Yingying, looking for an opportunity to capture her heart.

…

It was almost 10:30 pm when they left the training center.

In the dead of night, there was no one on the streets. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wheels rolling along the road could be heard.

Chen Yiming carried Chen Yingying on his bicycle and did not say a single word throughout the journey. In his heart, he was formulating a martial arts plan for Chen Yingying.

“There’s no one to supervise her at home during the day. Father and Mother definitely won’t be harsh to their own daughter. The cultivation environment is not good.”

Chen Yiming remembered that he had to go to the martial arts school during the day, so he had no time to watch over Chen Yingying’s training.

The scene of his body’s owner dropping out of school and practicing martial arts at home was still vivid in his mind. His martial arts talent was not good to begin with, and there was no one to supervise him. Very quickly, he got discouraged by the lack of progress.

When his parents saw this, their hearts ached for him. They constantly persuaded him to rest before resuming his training. In the end, the training time became shorter and shorter, and the number of breaks increased until he gave up completely.

“Why don’t I bring her to the martial arts school to train together?”

Chen Yiming thought of an idea, which was to bring Chen Yingying with him.

Very soon, he realized that it was not suitable. Firstly, he was not a core disciple of the school. Unlike the training center, where he was working as a teacher, he could not bring a beginner straight to the school.

Secondly, Chen Yingying was a far cry from even the worst students in the school. If she stayed in such an environment for a long time, she would easily lose confidence.

Chen Yiming thought about it and realized that there was only one solution. He would have to help Chen Yingying sign up for swordsmanship classes from morning until afternoon, and get other martial arts teachers to supervise her training.

“The second problem is that I don’t know anything about building one’s foundation in martial arts.”

Chen Yiming was frustrated. He had relied on upgrading his talent through the martial arts talent system to progress on his cultivation journey. He had never cared about such knowledge before, and only realized the problem when he needed to use it.

Although he had gotten a lot of dried mutant beast meat from Dong Fen, he could not even name most of them. How would he dare to let Chen Yingying eat them without any information?

Initially, he thought that it was enough to help Chen Yingying build her foundation and improve her physique. However, after careful analysis, he realized that he was too naive.

After thinking about it, there was only one solution. Tomorrow, he would bring Chen Yingying to the Wang clan’s village and ask Old Man Wang to help him choose a combination of mutant beast meat that was suitable for Chen Yingying to build her foundation.

Then, he would find a way to exchange the meat he could not use for the meat that would be suitable for Chen Yingying.

“Lastly, there’s the problem of Chen Yingying’s main cultivation technique. Should she follow me to cultivate sword techniques?”

Chen Yiming pondered this question.

He could either choose the cultivation technique that was most suitable for Chen Yingying, or she could cultivate sword techniques along with him.

If Chen Yingying chose a cultivation technique that was suitable for her, he would still be able to help with the basic moves. As she progressed further in her cultivation, he would gradually lose the ability to guide her and she would have to rely on herself.

Considering Chen Yingying’s poor martial arts talent, even if she had an endless supply of cultivation resources, Chen Yingying could only remain in the disciple realm forever.

On the other hand, if she were to cultivate sword techniques together with him, even if the sword techniques were not compatible with Chen Yingying, he would have a way to help her break through when he reached a higher realm in cultivation.

At most, he would let Chen Yingying be the weakest among those of the same cultivation realm. His purpose for letting Chen Yingying practice martial arts was to give her the strength to protect herself and her parents.

Chen Yingying did not have a martial arts talent system like him. Even if he tried his best to help her, she would not be able to catch up to him.
