Chapter 15 Janet being manipulated?
Zhou Ze quickly pushed Janet away, but as he did so, he seemed to feel a little regretful.
Janet, on the other hand, appeared poised and graceful, covering her mouth and smiling with narrowed eyes: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I was just too excited..."
Sensing Zhou Ze's embarrassment, Janet realized that Zhou Ze didn't look very old, only around thirty years old, and his demeanor was like that of a young man in his twenties.
Because of Luo Feng's influence, she originally thought Zhou Ze was a highly respected elder, but now he seems like a friendly older brother next door.
She also noticed that Zhou Ze was extremely handsome, perhaps because he had honed his skills as a martial artist in the wilderness, and he also appeared extremely resolute. Needless to say, a martial artist's physique is naturally exceptional.
"Cough cough..." Zhou Ze suppressed the pounding in his heart, secretly took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm, saying, "As a martial artist, one must always maintain a calm mind, neither arrogant nor impatient..."
"You lose your composure so easily from this little bit of excitement, Janet. You need to work on your self-control and cultivate your composure."
"I understand, Teacher Zhou," Janet replied earnestly, then added with a hint of coquettishness and a smile:
"Teacher Zhou, may I...?" Janet paused, a strange thought forming in her mind. She changed her tone, speaking in a soft, sweet, and alluring voice:
"I just returned from a life-or-death adventure in Australia and have some time off. Could I ask you to give me some guidance during this time...?"
It has to be said that Janet is a natural at using her feminine advantages; this expression is enough to make any man's heart flutter and his brain shut down.
"I'm retired now, I don't teach anymore..." Zhou Ze said with a half-smile, "I'll give you guidance once for Luo Feng's sake, and you're still not satisfied?"
Please...
Janet stepped forward and hugged Zhou Ze's right arm, her voice sending chills down Zhou Ze's spine.
"Alright, since you gave me the Water of Life, I can guide you a few times during this period." Zhou Ze subtly plucked the plump Fruit of Law.
Women can only be decorative; otherwise, they would hinder his speed in drawing his sword.
……
Elite training camp.
Candice, who had just emerged from the trial room, remained aloof and expressionless, but his lackey William greeted him with a smile:
"Congratulations, Candice. Your strength has improved even further in this life-or-death adventure. You have a very high chance of making it into the top thirty in this ranking."
"Hmm." Candice glanced at William indifferently, her vampire-like pale face showing no joy whatsoever.
"Candice, I know you're unhappy, but Luo Feng is just lucky. He probably found some rare treasures, otherwise how could he have become an invincible war god so quickly!" William was very unhappy.
"Luck is also a part of strength." Candace didn't say much more. He didn't think he would definitely not be able to catch up with Luo Feng in the future.
William caught up and said, "Did you know? According to rumors, Janet went straight to Luo Feng's hometown, Jiangnan Base City, as soon as she got back."
"Hmm." Candice nodded coolly.
Spurred on by Luo Feng, he lost all interest in the so-called arranged marriage, and even the so-called head of the Bolenas family. As long as he was strong enough, like Luo Feng, what power, status, or beautiful women could he not have?
All of that is a byproduct of strength. He doesn't believe he lacks the potential; if Luo Feng can do it, so can he!
Seeing that Candice wasn't interested, William didn't stop and continued, "I heard that after Janet visited Luo Feng, she asked Luo Feng to meet her teacher. Now Janet is practicing with her teacher every day, and it seems she's been staying at his house lately."
William got more and more excited as he spoke: "I suspect that Janet has been manipulated. How could a mid-level warrior, who is also a cripple, possibly be of any help to her?"
"Luo Feng's success is due to his own high talent. What does it have to do with his teacher? Everyone understands that as a martial artist, one should always look at oneself, not how powerful the teacher is or how they can turn the rotten into the miraculous. At most, the teacher can only provide some resources."
Candice frowned but didn't say anything. However, he felt that William was right: a martial artist always relies on himself, and everyone else is just an assistant.
Luo Feng's rise to become an invincible war god was due to his high talent and hard work, and his trip to Australia was also due to his good luck. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
"This Janet, tsk tsk, there's an old Chinese saying, 'Long hair, short wits.' I hope she doesn't end up getting manipulated and sleeping with an old man; that would be interesting..."
Female trainees at the elite training camp were already rare, and those who were truly beautiful were even rarer. Ever since Janet entered the camp, countless male trainees had their eyes on her, Candice being one of them.
He wasn't just attracted to Janet's looks; more importantly, he believed Janet was destined to become a war god, and with her as his wife, she would gain more support within the Bolenas family.
However, when Luo Feng arrived, Janet took a liking to him and pursued him relentlessly, which infuriated him. But he naturally couldn't offend Luo Feng, after all, Luo Feng had become one of the top ten as soon as he entered the elite training camp.
If his family knew he had offended Luo Feng, who would dare to support him? But now he didn't care anymore, not even about any external factors. He believed that as long as he had the strength, everything would be within his grasp.
"What she does is none of my business! But you're right, a martial artist relies on himself, not others." Candice said calmly, then strode forward.
……
In the martial arts training hall of a villa in the Mingyue residential area of Yangzhou, Zhou Ze stood with his arms crossed, quietly observing Janet's swordsmanship.
Soon, Janet finished her rehearsal, stopped, and stared at Zhou Ze with hopeful eyes, asking:
"Teacher Zhou, how am I now?"
Zhou Ze snapped out of his daze and said, "It's so-so..."
"But I think I've done a great job..." Janet pouted.
"I don't care what you think, I care what I think." Zhou Ze genuinely didn't mean to manipulate me: "Are you putting on a show for me? Your moves are perfect, but you lack the decisiveness and agility of a martial artist, especially since you've practiced the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade. I don't know how you even learned the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade..."
"The artistic conception is lacking, and the swordsmanship is not crisp enough. Is it too late for me to get a refund?" Zhou Ze sighed.
"Teacher Zhou, don't be angry. I may be a little slow, but I will try my best. I know I can't beat Luo Feng."
Janet, her face glistening with sweat, smoothed her damp blonde hair and approached Zhou Ze with a grin, showing no sign of discomfort as a "bad student."
"You're really working hard, keep practicing..." Zhou Ze covered his nose, deliberately making a disgusted face.
Janet watched Zhou Ze stride away, sniffed herself from side to side, and said angrily, "There's nothing unpleasant about the smell. I even wore special perfume."
