Evan Chu remembered that Sword Spirit had said he must harmonize with someone like Jenny Sima within half a year—by his count, nearly two months had already passed.
Now that he knew her true feelings, everything would naturally fall into place. Evan had already decided: after stepping onto the Life-and-Death Platform with Ryan Ouyang, he would 'eat' Jenny Sima, absorb her pure yin, and once again generate Chaos Qi within himself.
At the same time, he’d ask the dean if there were any soul-restoring herbs—like the Soul Snow Grass that Sword Spirit mentioned. If there were, great; if not, he’d make the old man find a way. What kind of academy couldn’t even manage that much?
"Pure Yang Constitution, Nine Yin Constitution? Evan, just how many secrets do you have?" Jenny Sima realized that every time she was with Evan Chu, he managed to shock her all over again.
"My Pure Yang Constitution needs the gentle yin energy from many women to harmonize. Not only does my strength improve quickly, but the other party also gains plenty of benefits. Roxanne Lin is a perfect example—she was born with a Profound Yin Constitution." Evan Chu grinned.
"How do you harmonize?" Jenny Sima vaguely sensed it had to do with man and woman matters, and her face instantly flushed hot after asking.
"It’s simple—just eat the other person. So, Jenny, when will you let me eat you? I have to harmonize with a Nine Yin woman within three months, or I’ll lose my life. You’re my best choice."
Jenny Sima didn’t show the slightest anger; she figured she’d end up his woman sooner or later anyway, and after all, they’d already been so close—so even if he did that, it didn’t really matter.
"You’re not just getting close to me for that reason, are you?" That was her only real worry.
"No confidence in yourself, or in me? You’re drop-dead gorgeous—what man wouldn’t like you? Of course I’m no exception. Jenny, relax. I, Evan Chu, am not the type to play around. Any woman who’s mine, I’ll cherish with all my heart. Roxanne Lin is one, and so are you!" Evan said it straight, pouring on the emotion.
At this moment, Jenny Sima seemed just like a little woman, her heart moved by Evan Chu’s words. She realized this man was likely the true support she’d rely on for the rest of her life.
Jenny Sima had once imagined what her future husband would be like, but never thought it would be Evan Chu, that so-called 'waste.' Of course, he was no longer a waste now—maybe he really was the fated trial in her life.
“Evan, will you get tired of me after we’re together? There are so many women in the world more beautiful than me—one day you might grow bored. I’m a little worried,” Jenny said seriously.
“Silly girl, how could I ever get tired of you? You have to trust me. If fate brought us together, it means we’re destined. Don’t overthink it. When I’m strong enough, I’ll give you the most beautiful wedding,” Evan replied with a smile.
Then Evan Chu gently pulled Jenny Sima into his arms, holding her close for a long moment before reluctantly letting go.
Seeing Jenny’s face flushed, Evan Chu laughed, “Jenny, it’s best if we don’t see each other much for now. In two days, I’ll face Ryan Ouyang on the Life-and-Death Platform, and I can’t predict how long it’ll take.”
If I absorb your pure yin and suddenly enter a breakthrough state, I might be stuck for days. When it’s all over, I’ll need you to help me ease the pain.”
Jenny Sima finally regained her composure, still embarrassed by what had just happened. “Evan, you’re awful! How can you say things so bluntly? You’ve made my heart a mess. What’s the real story between you and Ryan Ouyang?”
After checking his chest, Evan Chu was surprised to find that the bones Jenny had fractured were already starting to heal. The process was slow, but visible—and he’d be fully recovered in two days. He couldn’t figure out why.
His Starforge Body shouldn’t be able to heal bones on its own yet. The only explanation was his bloodline—after absorbing power from the Dragon Scale, it seemed a bit of his dragon bloodline had awakened, though he wasn’t sure.
“Ryan Ouyang dared to harass Roxanne—someone I care about. Tell me, doesn’t he deserve to die? And if anyone tries to mess with you, it’s the same. I won’t let anyone lay a finger on those close to me.” As Evan Chu spoke, a cold killing intent radiated from him.
Jenny Sima felt a warm rush in her heart. “But Ryan Ouyang is the top student in the ordinary class. Are you sure you can handle him?” She immediately regretted doubting Evan—knowing how abnormal his progress was, he’d surely be fine.
“Taking him down? Piece of cake! Alright, Jenny, you should head out. If you stay any longer, I might get another slap from you. You know, your last palm fractured my chest bones—but they’re already half healed, so don’t worry.”
Jenny Sima wanted to say more, but seeing the helpless look in Evan Chu’s eyes, she just nodded and quietly walked out.
“Crazy girl, you really don’t know your own strength. If I hadn’t reached Tier Two of the Starforge Body, you might’ve killed me with that slap. Just wait—one day I’ll teach you a lesson!” Evan Chu muttered after Jenny left.
His dorm was fully equipped, with a spacious bath. After washing up, Evan Chu changed into white clothes, looking refreshed and elegant—though a clear palm mark still lingered on his chest.
Evan Chu remembered Ryan Ouyang planned to send someone to test his strength. Since no one would come into the protected dorm, he stepped outside, ready to give Ryan a surprise.
On the way, plenty of students pointed and whispered about Evan Chu. Some overly enthusiastic fangirls nearly threw themselves at him, forcing him to seek out quieter places.
After nearly two hours, his target finally appeared. Evan Chu pretended not to notice, sitting beneath a tree and idly playing with a low-grade Starstone.
Suddenly, a fierce palm strike came from behind. Evan Chu didn’t dare be careless—if the attacker was stronger than Jenny Sima, even Tier Two Starforge Body wouldn’t withstand it. He quickly rose, turned, and met the attack with his own palm.
For this strike, Evan Chu used only half his real strength—he wanted the attacker to think he was weak, setting up Ryan Ouyang for a surprise.
Evan Chu was knocked back several steps, stumbling and falling to the ground. Then, he forcefully reversed his stellar force, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth—making the injury look even more convincing.
Reversing stellar force felt awful; most cultivators wouldn’t dare risk it since it could damage their meridians. But Evan Chu’s meridians had been tempered twice by stellar force and were tough enough to handle it.
The masked attacker saw Evan Chu knocked down and bleeding from a single palm, sensing his strength was at most second-level Earth Martial. Satisfied, the attacker vanished after a few quick steps.
Evan Chu stood up, a faint smile on his lips. “Go ahead and tell Ryan Ouyang. After I settle things with him, I’ll pay you back for that palm. Don’t think I don’t know who you are.”
Even though the attacker wore a mask, Evan Chu knew exactly who he was—the same youth who’d been talking with Ryan Ouyang earlier.
