Gah... Now Jiang Dong and the others realize that they have always been insignificant. They feel ashamed of their previous arrogant thoughts.
The sound of applause echoed as the team leader, along with Martial Enthusiast Elder and Elder Dongfang, stepped forward. The team leader looked at Chen Haoxuan with satisfaction and said, "As expected of the genius Chen Haoxuan, you have become an unparalleled master in just six months."
"What I admire most is not your martial prowess, but your perseverance. Your determination is truly commendable," Elder Dongfang said, cupping his hands towards Chen Haoxuan.
Martial Enthusiast Elder stepped forward and pointed at Chen Haoxuan, saying, "I want to spar with you." He had wanted to challenge Chen Haoxuan for a long time, but Chen Haoxuan had been hiding in the research facility in the cave, making it impossible to find him unless he disregarded the team leader's orders and barged in. Now that he saw Chen Haoxuan's impressive strength, he felt eager to fight. If it weren't for the presence of the team leader and others, he would have directly challenged Chen Haoxuan, regardless of whether Chen Haoxuan agreed.
"Martial Enthusiast Elder, I know my own strength; I'm not your match yet. So if you want to spar with me, you'll have to wait another six months!" Chen Haoxuan replied.
"How will you know you're not my match if you don't try?" Martial Enthusiast Elder retorted angrily.
"Because I've seen you spar with others, and I'm certain I'm not your match," Chen Haoxuan said seriously. He was someone who disliked losing; whether in a competition or otherwise, he wouldn't engage in something he wasn't confident about. If someone wanted to challenge him, he would refuse and wait until he believed his strength surpassed theirs before seeking them out for a match.
Of course, Chen Haoxuan wasn't incapable of defeating Martial Enthusiast Elder. If given the freedom to use strategy, he could defeat him in a short time. However, in a fair fight, Chen Haoxuan believed he wasn't strong enough yet. He had previously witnessed a match between Martial Enthusiast Elder and Flower Speed. While Flower Speed's speed was comparable to his own, to Martial Enthusiast Elder, it seemed as slow as a snail, illustrating just how formidable Martial Enthusiast Elder truly was.
In the eyes of Shen Ruyan and others, Martial Enthusiast Elder was an incredibly powerful and unbeatable warrior. However, in Chen Haoxuan's view, things were different; he considered Martial Enthusiast Elder's skills to be merely average and not particularly strong. Having been several times stronger than Martial Enthusiast Elder in his previous life in the Future Century, Chen Haoxuan was confident that he could defeat him in six months.
Having long desired to spar with Chen Haoxuan, now that he finally had the chance to see him emerge from hiding, Martial Enthusiast Elder couldn't let this opportunity slip away. He shouted loudly at Chen Haoxuan, " Chen Haoxuan, sparring won't cost you your life; what are you afraid of? Do you want to be seen as a coward?"
After glancing at Martial Enthusiast Elder, Chen Haoxuan suddenly dashed back into the cave with such speed that all anyone could see was a fleeting shadow.
Seeing Chen Haoxuan run into the cave, Martial Enthusiast Elder became furious and immediately chased after him. " Chen Haoxuan, stop!"
When Martial Enthusiast Elder entered the cave, he found that Chen Haoxuan had already rushed into the research facility. He knew very well how important the items inside were, so he dared not barge in. Instead, he shouted at the entrance, " Chen Haoxuan, you coward! Afraid even of a spar? Do you still consider yourself a man?"
"I've already said that I'm not your opponent right now. If you want to compete, let's wait for half a year!" Chen Haoxuan replied loudly.
"I'll only use five layers of my strength at most. That should be acceptable, right?" Martial Enthusiast Elder said loudly.
"I, Chen Haoxuan, never take advantage of others' weaknesses. If you want to compete with me, then let's do it fairly. Alright, I need to get back to work now. If you want to compete with me, wait for half a year!" Chen Haoxuan said loudly.
"Hmph." Martial Enthusiast Elder walked away angrily.
As soon as Martial Enthusiast Elder left, Chen Haoxuan came out. He had been working tirelessly for the past six months and hadn't had a drink or enjoyed good food in a long time. He stepped out, wanting to tidy himself up and enjoy a day properly.
When Chen Haoxuan walked into a hall, he found Shen Ruyan had arrived. Shen Ruyan happily said to Chen Haoxuan, "I thought you wanted to stay in the research institute for a lifetime!"
"Hehe... if it were the old me, maybe I would have, but the current me definitely won't," Chen Haoxuan smiled and replied.
"Your beard and hair are so long now. How about I help you cut them?" Shen Ruyan looked at Chen Haoxuan with a curious expression.
"That would be great. Thank you," Chen Haoxuan said as he sat down on the sofa in the hall.
"Wait for me a moment; I'll go get the tools for cutting hair," Shen Ruyan said as she turned and ran outside.
Hearing Shen Ruyan's words, Chen Haoxuan quickly called out loudly, "No need to get anything; just give me a buzz cut."
Shen Ruyan stopped in her tracks, turned around, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? A buzz cut? How did you come up with that idea?" She had wanted to help Chen Haoxuan design a hairstyle but didn't expect him to ask for a buzz cut instead.
"What's wrong with being bald? At least I don't have to worry about losing hair while studying, and being bald is cool and comfortable. There's nothing bad about it," Chen Haoxuan said.
"Alright then!" Shen Ruyan replied disappointedly. She found a sharp little knife from the TV stand in the hall and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Come on, let's go to the bathroom, wash your hair, and apply some shampoo. It will be easier to shave that way."
Chen Haoxuan didn't say anything; he stood up and walked toward the bathroom next to the hall.
In the bathroom, Shen Ruyan carefully helped Chen Haoxuan shave his head. Shaving a bald head doesn't require much skill, and Chen Haoxuan's hair was quickly gone. After finishing shaving his head, Chen Haoxuan wanted to shave his beard himself, but he wasn't sure if Shen Ruyan had gotten addicted to shaving. She hid the little knife behind her back and pouted playfully, saying, "I'll help you shave."
"No thanks, I'll do it myself!" Chen Haoxuan insisted.
"No, if you don't let me help you shave, I won't give you the knife," Shen Ruyan said in a spoiled tone. She felt a strange sense of joy in helping Chen Haoxuan.
"Fine!" Chen Haoxuan relented.
Shen Ruyan carefully helped Chen Haoxuan shave his beard while he watched her face. He suddenly realized that Shen Ruyan was beautiful, very much like a virtuous wife. Chen Haoxuan suddenly thought of Chen Yina and the others and couldn't help but scold himself for being shameless: "Damn it, how can I be so shameless? I already have several women and I'm still thinking about other women."
"All done," Shen Ruyan said with a smile. She stepped back, resting her hand on her chin as she looked at Chen Haoxuan, nodding occasionally as if admiring her work.
