The chat group fell into a long silence. Quite a while passed with no one speaking. Everyone was checking the official forum.

A quarter of an hour later, Hongjige first posted more than a dozen screenshots from the forum, followed by Sun Miaomiao's screenshots of a lecture from the official Taiyimen group. The quiet gang chat group became lively again.

"Sun Miaomiao: This is outrageous, just so outrageous. He won a one-on-three fight! The Grand Elder even personally lectured Xingguanmen disciples. Have I been in a dungeon for days? Why does it feel like years?"

She was completely stunned. The top post on the official Taiyimen forum was titled: "This is probably the limit of Xingguan stage operations!"

After clicking on the post, she didn't watch the video directly but quickly scanned the comments.

After understanding the general situation from the comments of her fellow disciples, Sun Miaomiao, with an incredible feeling, couldn't wait to click on the video and watched it with her jaw dropped the whole time.

One against three!

Yuan Shitianzun, with his own strength, defeated the three peak Saints of Tianfa.

Those are figures comparable to the official Four Young Masters.

"Hongjige: Yuan Shitianzun, you actually beat those three guys! Amazing!"

He not only watched the video of Yuan Shitianzun crushing the three Saints in the pine forest but also re-watched the videos of Huo Gongzi and Yin Ji's defeats.

Putting the two together made Yuan Shitianzun's victory over the three Saints even more satisfying. Hongjige happily drank three bowls of chicken soup to express his respect.

[Hongjige: Jiang Ju really embarrassed us Fire Masters. Self-destruct! Shouldn't you self-destruct in this situation instead of living in humiliation?]

Hongjige wasn't being sarcastic. He was putting himself in their shoes. He was someone who could self-destruct.

Compared to Hongjige's carefree "Amazing!"

Zhao Chenghuang felt a deep sense of powerlessness. One moment he was happy about clearing an A-level dungeon and full of ambition for his upcoming promotion to Level 5, the next moment he was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Bone-chilling!

[Zhao Chenghuang: Is this your true combat power? You didn't show your real strength at all in the Mo Sect's Mechanical City. This isn't even all of your strength, is it? @Yuan Shitianzun]

Yuan Shitianzun was even stronger without entering the dungeon than he was in the Mo Sect's Mechanical City. He had also watched the video. Only a Xingguan like him could understand the power of Yuan Shitianzun's Astrology.

As a Level 4 Xingguan, he felt like he was watching a college student solving advanced mathematics problems.

The group was filled with a sense of awe and incomprehension.

[Tianxia Guihuo: He obviously didn't go all out. He won too easily.]

Although Tianxia Guihuo didn't have the same mentality as Zhao Chenghuang, he, being from humble beginnings, had a strong sense of crisis. Yuan Shitianzun, who was his peer just a few months ago, had become one of the strongest people below the Overlords. His sense of crisis exploded.

He felt a sense of urgency that if he didn't improve, he would be eliminated.

[Xiahou Aotian: Are you two having a mental breakdown? I told you not to discuss this topic! Deserved it!]

Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang sent a string of ellipses.

Asano Ryo, who started this topic, was using translation software to look at the pictures while relying on her not-so-outstanding Chinese skills to finally finish reading the content of the screenshots.

She sent three "Amazing!" in a row in the group to express her amazement.

Asano Ryo already admired Yuan Shitianzun very much, believing him to be a genius that appears once every three thousand years. After watching the video, she felt that she had been conservative.

Moreover, the more powerful Yuan Shijun was, the better, because her position in the Thousand Crane Group would also rise.

Maybe in the future, the teacher would respectfully say to her: "Asano Ryo-sama, is the meeting on Yuan Shijun's guarantee being held today again?"

Zhang Yuanqing typed: "Oh, right, this time I earned five Overlord-level materials, forty Saint-level materials, and a Level 5 Rule-type item..."

Was this too much showing off? After thinking about it, he deleted the sentence. He didn't know about others, but Zhao Chenghuang, Tianxia Guihuo, and Xiahou Aotian would have a mental breakdown.

Only then did he remember Xiaoyuan, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end. He couldn't resist clicking on her avatar.

"Xiaoyuan, are you done with your shower? Why aren't you talking in the group chat?"

[Magic Aunt Xiaoyuan: Do you want me to praise you, praise you, or praise you?]

[Yuan Shitianzun: I want you to say you love me.]

[Magic Aunt Xiaoyuan: Screenshot taken. I'll send it to Guan Ya later.]

Zhang Yuanqing tactfully replied with a "sliding kneel" emoji.

Xiaoyuan had a cold personality. Zhang Yuanqing didn't expect her to flatter him.

He continued to send messages and asked: "Has Master Wuhen returned?"

[Magic Aunt Xiaoyuan: No. I heard Kou Beiyue say that when you were in Bagui Province, you saw Renjian Liulang?]

Zhang Yuanqing then recounted his experiences in Bagui Province.

[Yuan Shitianzun: I'm more curious about his story. Are he and that poison chaser half-brothers?]

[Magic Aunt Xiaoyuan: It's a long story. If you're interested, you can come to Wuhen Hotel. His story isn't a secret in the team.]

It could be said that Aunt Xiaoyuan was just short of explicitly saying, "Come and see me." Zhang Yuanqing curled his lips. At that moment, he heard the bathroom door "click" open. Guan Ya, in a matter of seconds, finally finished her great and lengthy cleaning work.

Zhang Yuanqing deleted the chat history with Xiaoyuan without changing his expression. Guan Ya, wearing a loose white shirt with a star-striped lace hem that fell on her thighs, revealing her fair legs, stood by the desk, tilting her head and wiping her hair with a towel.

"What did you say you were going to give me as a gift?"

"Let's eat first. It's dinnertime."

After Guan Ya dried her hair, the two went to the living room to eat. Guan Ya returned to the room and suspiciously scrutinized Zhang Yuanqing. "The Queen has been looking at you a little... differently!"

"What's different?" Zhang Yuanqing's eyes were clear, and his expression was calm.

With the current level suppression, Guan Ya's Insight Skill couldn't see through him either. However, at the dinner table, the Queen's frequency of stealing glances at him was indeed higher than usual.

Guan Ya kept her eyes on the group chat while eating, but in reality, she had already noticed the Queen's micro-expressions.

Everything was exposed in front of a Scout. The experienced driver stared at her boyfriend and said, "Have you been teaching her squats lately? Hmm... judging from her expression, squats shouldn't be enough. Facial cleanser, brain waves, fermented bean curd are all possibilities."

"Nonsense. I've always been chaste," Zhang Yuanqing thought. "I almost forgot what kind of lewd driver you are."

Guan Ya became a little unhappy and sat on the bed without saying a word.

"Huh, this isn't like you. You always act like a seductive and insignificant woman in front of others. Why are you suddenly lacking confidence?" Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized her.

"Oh, I understand. Is that video giving you pressure, making you feel like you can't handle me anymore?"

Guan Ya sneered but didn't refute.

"I'm going to sleep." She took off her pants and curled up in the blanket.

She did feel the pressure. As a direct descendant of the Fu family, she knew that her talent, appearance, figure, and vision were not comparable to ordinary girls. She was very confident.

After watching Yuan Shi's combat video today, she, like the members of the gang, felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Yuan Shi was a monstrous freak that made people despair.

Any genius or elite would feel pressure in front of him. This pressure was a sense of urgency, a sense of crisis, frustration, and helplessness for people like Zhao Chenghuang and Tianxia Guihuo. But for Guan Ya, it was a lack of confidence and worry.

She was a little afraid that she couldn't hold onto this man. She had been working hard to level up, but she still couldn't catch up, far from catching up.

Lost in thought, exhaustion washed over her, and Guan Ya fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, it was already dark.

The electronic alarm clock on the bedside table showed 9:30 PM. Guan Ya subconsciously looked at the pillow and didn't see Zhang Yuanqing, so she sat up with some disappointment. Then she saw the gift box on the table and remembered that Yuan Shi said he would give her a gift. Curious, she opened it.

She walked to the table and opened the gift box tied with a bow. Inside lay a section of blood-colored silk equipment. Guan Ya felt the sword intent in her body stir and realized that it was an equipment for the Scout profession.

She actually had quite a few equipment. She had a full five pieces of Saint-level equipment, some from high-difficulty dungeons and some from Fu Qingyang.

Speaking of equipment, Guan Ya thought of that Swordsman Cloak. Thinking of the Swordsman Cloak made her angry. Although she agreed with her boyfriend's decision to give the artifact to his cousin, she was still angry on an emotional level, even if it made sense rationally.

Thinking this, Guan Ya picked up the bracer and read the item information. After reading the information, Guan Ya put down the equipment, rubbed her eyes, and picked it up again. After putting it down again, she took a deep breath.

After picking it up and putting it down several times, Guan Ya heard her heart pounding and felt the blood roaring in her veins.

At the Saint level, fighting across levels was extremely difficult. Only in special environments with special equipment could one accomplish the feat of fighting across levels.

Equipment that could help The Way of the Extraordinary fight across levels were all top-quality items. The number of such items was limited throughout The Way of the Extraordinary, and only large organizations and powerful forces could produce them.

…

The air conditioner was blowing cold air. On the large double bed, Zhang Yuanqing maintained a push-up position, covered with a bright yellow silk blanket. His powerful waist rapidly thrust forward.

The bed creaked.

Guan Ya frowned, bit her lip, her face flushed, and her soft hands pushed against her boyfriend's chest, enduring the storm-like attacks.

"Women really need to be given gifts," Zhang Yuanqing thought sincerely while exercising.

After receiving the gift, Guan Ya's little emotions disappeared in an instant. She was moved to tears, her eyes conveying affection, and she shyly called him "Gege."

Zhang Yuanqing took out the Yin-Yang Harmonious Union Quilt and proposed Dual Cultivation. After twenty minutes of storm, Zhang Yuanqing entrusted the children he had accumulated for a long time to Guan Ya.

After sending them into the warm bedroom, the two tacitly opened their character attributes to check their experience points.

"It seems like no experience points were gained? I'm not sure. Let me check again."

So, the second round of storm came. Time flew by, the bed shook all night, and dawn came.

When Zhang Yuanqing sent in the last of his sparse children for the final time, the two simultaneously opened their character attributes to check their experience points. The experience points had indeed increased.

"It increased."

"Yes, I worked hard all night, my waist is about to break, my throat is hoarse, and I only gained this little experience points?" Guan Ya picked up that Yin-Yang Harmonious Union Quilt and smashed it on the ground.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly comforted her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Guan Ya, drink some water first."

"Get out!" Guan Ya turned her head and roared like a lioness.

"Yes, yes, yes. I overworked you, Sister Guan Ya," Zhang Yuanqing quickly admitted his mistake.

A Scout isn't a Night Wanderer. A Scout doesn't have abundant energy and terrifying endurance.

All night, Guan Ya had been subjected to endless bombardment, gritting her teeth and struggling to the end, waiting for a big boost in experience points after Dual Cultivation. Now, she couldn't accept this result at all.

It was actually very reasonable. Gaining 0.03% experience points in one night, a hundred nights would be 3%, and a year would be 10%, equivalent to a B-level dungeon. If Dual Cultivation could greatly increase experience points with each session, wouldn't Earth Elementals be invincible?

Guan Ya wanted to punch him out of anger: "You told me that experience points would greatly increase. You're not touching me this month!"

Breakfast, dining room.

The Queen said, "Why isn't Guan Ya eating breakfast?"

"She's catching up on sleep," Zhang Yuanqing said. "Other than being a little tired and having a slightly sore throat, she's fine."

Xie Lingxi complained with a sense of grievance: "How can she not be catching up on sleep? She was screaming all night."

Zhang Yuanqing realized that the Little Green Tea looked tired, and her dark circles were a little heavy. Could she have been listening all night?

Zhang Yuanqing thought that he had to find a way to confiscate her listening earpiece.

"Screaming all night?" The Queen also became resentful. "Even if you're newly married, it shouldn't be like this. Master, you can have someone help share the burden in the harem."

Xie Lingxi was shocked and looked at her Queen sister in surprise. Although everyone coveted Yuan Shi, her Queen sister used to be quite reserved. When she wasn't reserved, it was mostly in jest. How did she suddenly become so proactive?

What gave her the confidence? Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought of the legend that the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven in broad daylight after having intercourse with three thousand women. There must be a vast harem, constantly providing cauldrons for Dual Cultivation.

It seemed that a man like me, who is infatuated and dedicated, was destined not to be able to take the path of Dual Cultivation, he thought with regret. Dual Cultivation occasionally was better than nothing.

At that moment, a rapid and loud cell phone ringtone rang.

Zhang Yuanqing took out his cell phone and saw that the caller was Xiaoyuan.

"Hello!" He answered the phone: "I was just thinking about going to your place today."

Because the Queen and Xie Lingxi were beside him, he couldn't be playful, so he spoke in a more serious tone.

"Yuan Shi, Tongtong is in trouble!" Xiaoyuan's voice was urgent and grave.
