Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 842 - 841: Whoever Says So Is a Total Fool

After wrapping up matters at the Royal Doctor Station, Gu Tong and Yan Lishan left.

They walked along the academy’s path, engaging in a casual conversation that soon tapered into silence.

Gu Tong had fallen into deep thought...

As the willow trees swayed and leaves drifted down, Gu Tong extended her hand, and a lush green leaf landed in her fair palm. Her steps faltered, halting in place as memories surged in her mind.

She lifted her head, her bright eyes fixated on the willow tree, her rosy lips pressed tightly together.

In her past life, while on a mission with the Mafia, Gu Tong once encountered a willow tree. At the time, she was filled with overwhelming hatred because she lost an important friend, and she punched the willow so hard that it broke.

’Bang--’ Her tender fist collided with the willow once more.

"Emma, what are you doing..." Yan Lishan jumped in fright, quickly stepping back, his mouth agape, eyes wide in astonishment, as if he’d seen a monster...

After the punch, the willow’s branches and leaves fell, and a small dent was left on the trunk.

Yan Lishan swallowed hard. Is this woman a female King Kong? How does she have such strength...

However, in the next second.

Gu Tong, who had impulsively thrown a punch, now wore a despondent expression. She lowered her eyelids, staring at her fist, a strong tingling and numbness filling her entire palm. Such an inconsequential strike, yet it felt like this.

She unclenched her fist, allowing her palm to rest naturally open, devoid of calluses or scars from battle.

Since her rebirth, her life had become too comfortable...

She recalled that in her past life, even close to death, her personal combat ability had reached its peak, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Li Yan! She was undeniably one of the top experts on the list.

Through countless brushes with death and enduring major tribulations, she had forged her deadly battlefield skills. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But now, after her rebirth, it all seemed to have faded away.

If she calculated carefully, her actual time since rebirth was only about over half a year.

During this time, besides going on missions, handling miscellaneous tasks, or participating in the academy’s training, she would conduct physical training.

Yet, compared to her past life’s abilities, her progress was still too slow.

"Am I very weak?" Gu Tong suddenly turned around. At some point, her eyes had reddened, mixed with a hint of a killing aura as she looked at Yan Lishan.

Yan Lishan felt a chill all over, breaking into a cold sweat. He swallowed again and shook his head frantically...

Not weak, not weak, not weak... anyone who says you’re weak is really just a fool...

"Compared to Qiao Chenyi and Li Yan, am I very weak?" Gu Tong changed her approach, asking more directly.

However, as soon as that question came out...

Yan Lishan was even more troubled, his face full of doubt, completely unsure of what Gu Tong wanted or how he should respond...

If he said she wasn’t weak compared to them, that would definitely be a blatant lie. But if he said she was weak, he feared he might be in danger of being beaten.

This was clearly a life-or-death question...

"A woman’s strength is naturally a bit less than a man’s, that’s just normal..." Yan Lishan swallowed again, feeling as though he was falling apart.

Afraid that in the next second, Gu Tong might slap him.

A bit weaker...

Gu Tong pressed her lips together. She was far behind them!
