The relatives’ gathering was not very meaningful to Chu Nan. After a good commotion, the relatives left.
However, before they left, they approached Chu Nan and most of their words revealed a trace of flattery.
To ordinary people like them, the president of the McDao Group was already an untouchable top-notch figure, let alone a top-notch company like the Seres Security Company in the federation. There was even the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, a top-notch group that resounded throughout the entire Milky Way.
The fact that Chu Nan could be related to all three of them and even make them send people to congratulate him was enough to show that he had already become an important figure that they similarly had to look up to.
Of course, they had to try their best to approach such a big shot. He might be able to help in the future.
Chu Nan was not used to his relatives’ excessive enthusiasm and could only barely deal with them.
As for the various hidden meanings spoken by his relatives, he pretended not to understand and glossed over them.
When he finally sent all his relatives away, it was already noon the next day.
After sending off the last guest, Chu Nan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
He could not stay at home for more than a few days this time. Now, he had even been delayed for nearly two days because of such a thing, causing him to hurry up in the remaining few days.
He turned around and saw that Chu Xiaoxi was about to help Yu Fang tidy up the house. He shouted and waved at her, gesturing for her to come over.
“Brother, what’s wrong? What’s the matter?” Chu Xiaoxi jumped over happily.
“Don’t worry about that first. I’ll ask you again. Do you really want to cultivate martial techniques?” Chu Nan asked seriously.
Chu Xiaoxi was stunned. She originally wanted to laugh and joke, but she discovered that her expression was serious. She put away her smile and nodded with a serious expression.
“Of course, I’m not joking.” A trace of gloom flashed across Chu Xiaoxi’s small face. She looked back at her parents who were still busy in the dining room and gritted her teeth lightly, “Brother, you should still remember what happened that day, right? That was the first time I felt death in my life. I’m not lying to you. I was really frightened at that time.”
“Hmm… I understand.” Chu Nan nodded.
In fact, every time he recalled the day Chu Xiaoxi was kidnapped by the transformed man, Chu Nan would feel a trace of fear. If he had not handled it well or his strength was slightly inferior, he and Chu Xiaoxi might have been dead now.
“I don’t want to experience that kind of thing again.” Chu Xiaoxi continued in a low voice, “Although I also know that it’s impossible for me to be so powerful that I can defeat anyone, at the very least, anyone can’t kidnap me casually. Brother, I don’t want you to risk your life to save me again. Do you know that when I saw you lying on the ground motionless that day, I wished I could die in your place?”
Chu Nan sighed and reached out to rub Chu Xiaoxi’s head.
He had always been worried that the encounter that day would leave a psychological trauma in Chu Xiaoxi. Now, it seemed that the psychological trauma might not be serious, but it was impossible to erase the deep impact.
“Alright, I understand your determination to become stronger. However, Xiaoxi, you’ve already cultivated your Internal Breath cultivation method for nearly a month. You should know that it’s not that simple to become stronger.”
“Yes…” Chu Xiaoxi nodded lightly with a dejected expression, “I’ve been cultivating for more than a month, but my Internal Breath hasn’t become much stronger. I wonder how long I have to cultivate before I can defeat that abnormal guy.”
Chu Nan suddenly chuckled, “Actually, it’s not very difficult to defeat him. Follow me.”
Chu Xiaoxi immediately followed behind Chu Nan happily. The two of them arrived at his room. Chu Nan gestured for her to sit down and let her cultivate the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique. Then, he said, “Xiaoxi, I’ll test it on you next. During this period, I should… cough, it’ll hurt a little. Are you mentally prepared?”
Chu Xiaoxi patted her chest. “It’s just pain. I endured it last time, so I’m not afraid this time.”
“Alright, relax yourself. Don’t use any Internal Breath or have any thoughts of resisting. Leave everything to me.”
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxi nodded in agreement, Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder. An Internal Breath surged into the meridians in her body and arrived near her dantian. Then, it suddenly exploded and scattered into hundreds of meridians. It surged into all of her main and secondary meridians and circulated in them.
After circulating his Internal Breath in Chu Xiaoxi’s meridians for dozens of weeks, Chu Nan had already understood the situation of all her main meridians and secondary meridians through the test. Then, he injected an Internal Breath that was clearly much stronger and divided it into hundreds of strands before injecting them into all the main meridians and secondary meridians in her body.
Unlike before, the strength of these hundreds of Internal Breaths was different, but they had a common trait. They just happened to exceed the upper limit of Chu Xiaoxi’s meridians.
Under the impact of such a powerful Internal Breath, Chu Xiaoxi’s body involuntarily swayed. She felt a pain that went deep into her bones all over her body, causing her to almost cry out.
However, when she recalled Chu Nan’s reminder, Chu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and desperately endured it.
After the impact, a milky white light appeared on Chu Nan’s right hand that was pressed on Chu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and entered her body.
The Flame of Life Internal Breath that had fused with a special high-frequency vibration flowed into all of Chu Xiaoxi’s main meridians and secondary meridians in the same way. Chu Xiaoxi immediately felt the pain in her body completely fade, and then her entire body felt warm. It was as if her entire body had suddenly been opened by something, and her entire body felt extremely comfortable, causing her to involuntarily let out an extremely comfortable groan.
However, not long after she felt comfortable, Chu Nan injected another wave of Internal Breath. Then, Chu Xiaoxi felt the pain that was everywhere in her body again, causing her moans to instantly turn into painful whimpers.
In fact, what Chu Nan was doing to Chu Xiaoxi was imitating what he had done to himself previously. He was repairing his meridians through damaged meridians and tempering them quickly and intensely.
However, in comparison, when he did this to Chu Xiaoxi, his methods were much more “gentle”.
Apart from that, after Chu Nan grasped the Flame of Life, coupled with his special high-frequency vibration Internal Breath, the effect on his damaged meridians was better and the speed was faster. Therefore, Chu Xiaoxi did not feel any pain for a long time before he quickly healed her.
In the beginning, Chu Nan was still a little worried that this method would be effective on others. However, after an experiment, he had already confirmed that it was indeed effective from the data he received.
Therefore, during the process of her meridians being damaged and repaired again and again, the toughness and strength of Chu Xiaoxi’s meridians clearly increased quickly.
Before the experiment, Chu Xiaoxi’s meridians could not even endure his First Revolution Internal Breath. However, after several experiments like this, as the toughness and strength of Chu Xiaoxi’s meridians increased, she could gradually endure the First Revolution Internal Breath. Then, she could take another step forward and endure the Second Revolution Internal Breath, the Third Revolution Internal Breath…
Just as Chu Nan wanted to continue increasing the strength of his Internal Breath, a strange sound suddenly sounded from Chu Xiaoxi’s stomach.
