Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 525 - 196: In 2019, Back to Everyday Life, Transcendent Mindset_6

"Siqi, kneel down!"

That day, Lin Siqi and Zhang Beixing had a wild time, full of joy.

It wasn’t until three days later that Zhang Beixing left Lin Siqi’s villa, satisfied.

Lin Siqi was then at the window, waving to him. Her complexion wasn’t good; she was a bit pale, her delicate brows tightly furrowed, and her lips pursed, evidently feeling unwell. That was also why Zhang Beixing didn’t ask her to get out of bed to see him off.

Looking at the car in the backyard, covered in snow with four handprints on the hood, Zhang Beixing chuckled. He waved at Lin Siqi, then turned and left the villa.

「...」

At this moment, there were still fourteen days until the New Year, plenty of time to spare.

These past few months, I’ve been so preoccupied with my own affairs, I merely tossed my two disciples, Lin Pengfei and Chen Rourou, a manual of my martial arts insights before entrusting them to Liu Yi’s care.

I wonder how strong they’ve become now.

He called Lin Pengfei and Chen Rourou out to test their progress.

He found that, over the months, with the mentorship of Liu Yi, their grandmaster, and the help of the insights Zhang Beixing had provided, Lin Pengfei’s strength had steadily improved. He had now achieved initial Integration in the ’Heaven and Earth Natural Technique’ that Zhang Beixing had taught him. According to the current Martial Arts level classification of Great Xia, he was now at Level C. Although his foundation was still shallow, making him the weakest among Level C Martial Artists, one could see that Lin Pengfei hadn’t been slacking off.

Next was Chen Rourou.

Chen Rourou’s situation was much better than Lin Pengfei’s. Her natural talent was excellent, and she had a solid foundation in Martial Arts. With the insights left by Zhang Beixing and the mentorship of Liu Yi, her strength had soared in these few months. Although she still hadn’t reached the threshold of Grandmaster—of course, that was also because she hadn’t been blooded—among Pseudo Grandmasters, or, to put it differently, among Level A Martial Artists, she was already considered a formidable force, with few able to best her.

Having assessed the condition of the two disciples, Zhang Beixing then began tailor-made training based on their situations.

Chen Rourou, with her strong Martial Arts foundation, was pulled by Zhang Beixing to spar with him.

Lin Pengfei, on the other hand, had come into Martial Arts late and had a weaker foundation. On top of that, he had been diagnosed with cancer in the first half of 2018. Although he was eventually cured, his constitution remained relatively weak. Continuing to train without strengthening his body first would only yield half the results for twice the effort. Therefore, Zhang Beixing changed his training to foundational exercises, such as Horse Stance and hitting the Wooden Dummy, to strengthen and condition his body.

Just like that, under Zhang Beixing’s rigorous training, time flew by.

「January 29, 2019. New Year’s Eve.」

Sitting in his old home, he had finished the reunion dinner with his family and set off firecrackers. Zhang Beixing looked at the fireworks bursting in the sky, dyeing the night of the small town with multicolored hues. The DING-DONG of mobile phone notifications echoed in his ears as friends and relatives sent New Year’s greetings.

PHEW— He lit a cigarette, his gaze flickering.

It’s a bit dazing to think I’ve already passed my first New Year since rebirth so quickly.

He reflected on his deeds of the past year: chasing traffickers, fighting tigers, killing the Black Ghost, defeating opponents across Great Xia, surviving a gunshot, destroying drug rings, stepping into the Transcendent realm...

In just one short year, I’ve lived more vividly than in all thirty-plus years of my past life!

And this new year must also be a new beginning!

"I guess I haven’t wasted this chance at rebirth!" Zhang Beixing muttered to himself. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Just as he was about to stub out his cigarette and head back, his eyebrows suddenly knitted together. He turned his head towards the distant high-rises. For a brief moment, with the Transcendent perception of ’Cicada Sensing the Autumn Wind,’ he felt an intrusive gaze from a tall building far away.

But this feeling vanished without a trace the moment he turned his head.
