Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal

Chapter 454: Chapter 350: Fierce Tiger Body Strengthening Technique? Romantic Genius Hou Shaojie

After exchanging that move, Lin Chang’sheng stopped defending passively. He dashed straight in, unleashing a punch—the mighty Divine Dragon Heaven-Breaking Fist.

The power in that punch was nothing to scoff at. The opponent clearly couldn’t withstand it, forced to retreat again and again by the blow.

”What fierce Fist Aura!”

Hou Shaojie clearly hadn’t expected Lin Chang’sheng’s physical strength to be this monstrous, putting up a fight just as strong as his own.

It had only been two exchanges, but it was obvious the guy was no pushover.

Hou Shaojie liked talented youths with real skill, so he suddenly clenched his fists and a surge of wild strength burst out. His whole aura underwent a drastic change; muscles bulged across his body. Behind him, a phantom of a fierce tiger appeared.

”If you can take one punch from me with just your body, I’ll admit defeat.”

Hou Shaojie seemed supremely confident in his physical strength and said with a smile.

”Body Strengthening Immortal Technique?”

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself. He hadn’t expected the Immortal Realm to have body strengthening techniques too. Right now, he couldn’t afford to be careless.

”Alright, let me see just how strong your physical power really is!”

Lin Chang’sheng accepted the challenge and unleashed his Divine Dragon Power.

Roar—

A deafening dragon’s roar rang out, and a dragon’s shadow plunged into Lin Chang’sheng’s body.

The next instant, Lin Chang’sheng’s physical strength ramped up madly.

”Dragon God’s Power?”

This scene left Hou Shaojie dumbfounded.

Just who was this guy? How the hell did he command Divine Dragon Power?

But now it was a point of no return—Hou Shaojie had to fire off a punch.

When that punch landed, the air itself roared with the impact.

One could imagine just how dominating that punch was.

If he used Primordial Power, this punch could wipe out mountains and overturn seas.

Facing such a ferocious attack, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t dodge; he threw his own punch right back.

Boom—

A tremendous thunderous noise burst out.

Behind both fighters, dragon and tiger phantoms seemed to flicker.

For a full three breaths, neither of them stepped back—each was matching the other blow for blow.

”Alright, I lost!”

Hou Shaojie withdrew, cupped his fists, and admitted defeat.

The other’s physical strength really was on par with his own.

”You’ve got impressive cultivation, brother. Sorry for coming on so strong!”

Hou Shaojie instantly switched to a friendly face, which surprised Lin Chang’sheng a bit.

Hou Shaojie liked talented youths. If Lin Chang’sheng had been weak, he’d have snubbed him for sure.

But the guy’s cultivation matched his own. If they fought all-out, Hou Shaojie couldn’t say he’d win—and so, politeness was in order.

Since the other had already apologized, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t keep pressing the issue.

”You’re too humble!”

Lin Chang’sheng replied simply.

”Brother, you really are blessed! I’ve got some business today, so I won’t linger. Next time, I’ll definitely treat you!”

Hou Shaojie glanced at Zhao Shuang’Er, then left with his arms around two pretty girls.

From Hou Shaojie’s point of view, Zhao Shuang’Er was surely Lin Chang’sheng’s little girlfriend, which had him drooling.

A sweet and innocent girl like this—she’d be fun, no doubt.

”Let’s go, Shuang’Er!”

Watching Hou Shaojie leave, Lin Chang’sheng decided to find another inn too.

”Dear guests, just in time—they just checked out, and there’s a couple’s room available! Do you want it? All the other inns are packed! If you don’t take it now, you might be sleeping on the street tonight!”

The attendant saw Lin Chang’sheng about to leave, so he hurried over.

He’d noticed both fighters had held back—otherwise his inn would’ve been toast.

”A couple’s room? Uh...”

Hearing ’couple’s room,’ Lin Chang’sheng’s heart started beating faster. Him sharing a room with Zhao Shuang’Er... was that okay?

”Brother Chang’sheng, since everywhere’s full, we might as well take it, right?”

Zhao Shuang’Er spoke softly, her cheeks flushing bright red.

Since Zhao Shuang’Er had spoken, there was no way a man like him could refuse.

”Alright, we’ll take it!”

Lin Chang’sheng replied.

”Great! One night in the couple’s room is six gold coins, deposit is ten gold coins!”

The attendant registered them.

Lin Chang’sheng didn’t have any gold coins, so he pulled out an Immortal Crystal.

”Will this do?”

He placed the Immortal Crystal on the desk.

The attendant’s eyes nearly popped out at the sight.

Immortal Crystals were worth way more than Immortal Coins! Gold coins didn’t even compare.

One Immortal Crystal could buy a hundred Immortal Coins—or ten thousand gold coins.

Immortal Crystals were packed with dense Spiritual Energy—far superior to Immortal Coins.

”Dear guest, I can’t make change for this!”

The attendant grimaced, looking embarrassed.

”No need for change!”

Lin Chang’sheng still had plenty of Immortal Crystals; losing one didn’t bother him at all.

”Thank you!”

The attendant happily led them up to the third floor.

The rooms on the third floor hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned yet.

Lin Chang’sheng took one look and saw it was a mess inside.

The bedding was everywhere, water from the basin was spilled all over, and the floor was covered in rose petals.

Clearly, Hou Shaojie and the two girls had had a wild time in here.

After a stick of incense’s time, the room had finally been cleaned up.

Lin Chang’sheng and Zhao Shuang’Er at last stepped inside.

This was definitely a couple’s room—the atmosphere was thick with romance.

The floor was blanketed with rose petals; the bed draped in gauzy fabric, the covers decorated with images of mandarin ducks.

The bath off to the side was even heart-shaped.

”O-One bed?”

Lin Chang’sheng noticed there was only one bed inside and felt a little helpless. Didn’t that mean they’d be sharing?

While cultivators could meditate at night instead of sleeping, he really couldn’t just sit on the floor or a chair, right?

In the end, they’d have to share the bed.

If something happened between this ’dry wood and raging fire,’ Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t guarantee anything.

”Brother Chang’sheng, I’m going to bathe!”

Zhao Shuang’Er dropped that line and darted off to wash, throwing Lin Chang’sheng into even deeper confusion.

Luckily, Lin Chang’sheng knew the Calm Heart Spell. He recited it over a dozen times before finally settling down.

After her bath, Zhao Shuang’Er looked even more pure, her damp hair giving her an exquisite charm.

”Shuang’Er, let me take you outside for a stroll! There’s a Flower Lantern Festival tonight—let’s go enjoy it together!”

Lin Chang’sheng felt staying inside was testing his self-control, so he suggested heading out.

”Sounds great!”

Zhao Shuang’Er was delighted to hear they could go out.

After a quick tidying up, Lin Chang’sheng and Zhao Shuang’Er went out to see the lanterns together.

The festival featured old-fashioned Kongming lanterns and floating water lanterns.

Kongming lanterns are sent up into the sky, while water lanterns float on the river, drifting downstream—no one knows where they’ll end up.

”Gentleman, Miss, want to buy a lantern? One silver coin per lantern!”

A lantern-selling woman approached Lin Chang’sheng and Zhao Shuang’Er.

Seeing Zhao Shuang’Er longing for them, Lin Chang’sheng bought two immediately.

When leaving, Lin Chang’sheng had gotten some gold and silver coins from the attendant, so he wouldn’t run into another embarrassing ’no gold coins’ moment.

Otherwise, buying everything with Immortal Crystals—even Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t afford that.

”They say making a wish when you release a lantern is especially effective. Shuang’Er, if you have a wish, give it a try!”

Lin Chang’sheng said, watching Zhao Shuang’Er ready her lantern.

Zhao Shuang’Er believed him, let go of her lantern, then closed her eyes and made her wish, hands together.

After a while, she opened her eyes.

”What did you wish for?”

Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously.

Zhao Shuang’Er blushed when he asked.

”If I say it, it won’t come true!”

With that, Zhao Shuang’Er ran off.

”That girl—acting all mysterious!”

Lin Chang’sheng muttered in his heart.

On the street, he bought two sets of clothes for himself and Zhao Shuang’Er.

They couldn’t keep dressing so shabby—otherwise people would look down on them.

Clothes make the man, horses have to be outfitted—turns out the saying’s true.

After getting new clothes, Zhao Shuang’Er looked completely transformed, with a hint of ethereal grace—a fairy untouched by mortal dust.

That’s the advantage of a pretty face.

A skinny figure can’t hide a beautiful face.

Though Zhao Shuang’Er was a bit thin now, as long as she got enough nutrition, she’d fill out in no time.

Anyway, she’s a cultivator; she couldn’t get fat even if she tried.

Lin Chang’sheng believed Zhao Shuang’Er would become a real beauty in the future.

Lin Chang’sheng also changed into fine robes, which upped his aura considerably.

Later tonight, after training the Star Shifting and Disguise Technique to perfection, he could alter his looks.

By then, the Blood Robe Sect would have a hard time finding him for revenge.
