Chapter 69: I've Come to Thank You

  On the bench by the school lake, Lin Luxue's head rested on Gao Tianming's shoulder. The gentle breeze blew over, and a few strands of green silk always fell onto Gao Tianming's face.

  "Hehe." Seeing her own hair blown onto Tianming's face, Lin Lusuo couldn't help but laugh lightly.

  Gao Tianming turned his head, pinched Lin Luxue's small nose and said: "What are you laughing at? You're laughing so happily!"

  Lin Lüxue shook her head slightly, freeing her nose from Gao Tianming's grasp. "Why do you keep pinching my nose? What if it gets broken?"

  "Heh heh, of course I'll take responsibility! I'll be responsible for you for the rest of your life!" Gao Tianming said with a sly smile.

  "Hmph!" Lin Luxue buried her head in Gao Tianming's chest, muttering: "Great rascal, this isn't letting you off easy!"

  "Hehe, so are you willing or not to give me a discount?" Embracing Lin Lusnow, Gao Tianming couldn't help but chuckle.

  "Hey! Am I interrupting anything?" a teasing voice suddenly came from afar.

  Gao Tianming furrowed his brow, turned his head, and saw a figure walking slowly towards him from afar. Lin Lüxue straightened up, looking at the approaching figure, and asked discontentedly: "Who are you?"

  A figure walked to within 10 meters of the bench, bowed slightly with a gentlemanly demeanor, and said to Lin Lushe: "I'm so sorry to disturb you, my name is Murong Lie, I came today to find the friend sitting next to you."

  "Tian Ming, do you know him?" Lin Luxue turned her head towards Gao Tianming.

  Gao Tianming nodded, "We're old friends now, Lusnow, you go back to your dorm first, I'll come find you tomorrow, okay?"

  Lin Lüxue looked at Gao Tianming with concern, her intuition felt that something was off, "Nothing will happen, right?"

  Gao Tianming smiled and said, "I'm just chatting with an old friend, what's the big deal? Alright, you go back to your dorm first!"

  Lin Lüxue thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Then I'll go first."

  "Be careful on your way!"

  Watching Lin Luxue slowly walk away, Gao Tianming finally turned his head towards Murong Lie, and the smile on his face was gone.

  "Clap, clap!" Murong Lie applauded and laughed: "What a loving couple! But I wonder if she'll still love you when she finds out on the second day that you've become disabled?"

  Gao Tianming's mouth curled up in a faint smile, "It seems that Murong brothers haven't forgotten this arm of mine! Only I don't know how your injury is healing now?"

  "My wound?" Murong Lie pointed to his own throat, "Is this what you're talking about? You didn't remind me, I really forgot, and I should thank you for that!"

  "Thank me?" Gao Tianming furrowed his brow.

  "Ah!" Murong Lie smiled lightly, "If it weren't for your guidance, I might not have been able to break through to the middle stage of the Post-Heaven Fourth Realm and overcome my weakness at the throat position! So today, I especially want to thank you, and I hope you won't refuse me!"

  "Really? I've never had a habit of refusing others!" Gao Tianming smiled.

  "Boom!" Murong Lie's back foot stepped forward, and he directly appeared in front of Gao Tianming. He punched towards Gao Tianming's face, and the strong wind generated by his fist blew Gao Tianming's hair backwards.

  Gao Tianming tilted his head, letting Mu Ronglie's fist pass by, took a step forward with his right foot, and leaned his shoulder directly against Mu Ronglie's armpit.

  "Boom!"

  A loud crash, Mu Rong Lie was knocked back two steps before he could steady himself.

  "Haha, your reaction is still so agile!" After moving around the bruised armpit, Murong Lie chuckled.

  "It's okay, actually I've prepared some things for you to take a look at this time, hoping you can give me some advice!" As soon as Gao Tianming finished speaking, his feet flashed purple and his right fist directly slammed into Murong Lie's stomach.

  Murong Lie's eyes widened suddenly, not because his protective true energy was broken, but a strong electric current passed through Gao Tianming's fist and rushed into his body, causing his entire body to become numb.

  Murong Lie's body was slightly lifted off the ground by Gao Tianming's punch, "Crack!" The sound of a whip striking, Gao Tianming's left elbow continued to collide with Murong Lie's chest.

  Without stopping, a right fist rose like a dragon, and Murong Lie's head was directly lifted up. Gao Tianming immediately rotated half a body with his left foot as the axis, and his right foot kicked Murong Lie in the abdomen.

  "Bang!" Murong Lie flew out more than 5 meters before landing, his back rubbing against the ground for a moment, his body involuntarily convulsing once before slowly recovering.

  "Cough, cough!" Murong Lie supported his stomach and coughed a few times, "You've gotten stronger! Unfortunately, your attacks are still just as weak!" Murong Lie slowly stood up, his eyes already somewhat red, "It seems that I really can't underestimate you!"

  Kotobuki Mina deliberately messed up her hairstyle and smiled, "My attack disappointed you, I'm really sorry. But that was just a warm-up, let's officially start now!"

  "Zi!" A faint humming noise started, and a layer of purple aura enveloped Gao Tianming's body. Subconsciously stretching out his arm, he swung down with a fist, "Pu" a faint sonic boom sounded, "Hehe, I'm coming!"

  At the sound of the sonic boom, Mu Rong Lie's eyes widened, and his "Sword Pointing" stance was just formed. A figure appeared beside him, faster than before by more than half. In his astonished gaze, the figure's left foot swept across his ankle, causing Mu Rong Lie to involuntarily fall forward.

  "Boom!" Ga Tianming's knee struck Mu Ronglie's abdomen, sending him flying into the air.

  "Pffft!" Murong Lie violently spat out blood in mid-air, his knee strike directly breaking through his protective true energy and hitting him right in the stomach.

  Gao Tianming looked up at Murong Lie, who was still rising, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The purple light flashed under his feet, and he appeared directly above Murong Lie. His body spun around, concentrating his strength in his right leg, which landed squarely on Murong Lie's back.

  Murong Lie crashed directly into the ground like a wooden puppet.

  "Bang!" The ground seemed to vibrate, and half of Murong Lie's body sank into the cement floor.

  Gao Tianming did a backflip in mid-air and landed lightly beside Murong Lie.

  Murong Lie's mouth was constantly spewing out blood. Gao Tianming squatted beside him, chuckling, "With such injuries, you shouldn't recover too easily, right? I think for several months, you won't be coming to bother me!"

  Murong Lie's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't.

  "With your tempered body that has undergone fourfold refinement, your current injuries won't be fatal! In that case, I'll take my leave first!" Ga Tianming stood up and turned to walk towards the dormitory area.
