Listening to Lin Chen's inexplicable words, everyone around shook their heads.

"This kid is just talking nonsense. If there was a fire in the belly, could a person still live?"

"If you want to court her, just say so, why bring up useless things."

Everyone thought Lin Chen was being pretentious, so they ridiculed him one after another.

However, upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Mengli suddenly froze.

Her face showed an expression of shock, and the beautiful face displayed fluctuations, with her large, crystalline eyes releasing an incredible glow.

"How do you know?" Li Mengli asked in astonishment.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, looking smug: "You have such a crush on me, you came all this way to challenge me, did you not inquire a bit? I'm the famous little Divine Doctor."

"Who's crushing on you, you're being delusional." Li Mengli finally understood that this guy would be exuberant with any praise, so she resolved never to show Lin Chen a good face again.

Lin Chen wasn't angry but asked with a smile: "Can we talk now?"

Li Mengli hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Come with me."

The two came to a secluded spot at the foot of the Great Wall and stopped walking.

"Does it still hurt there?" Lin Chen asked.

Li Mengli had just been so angered by Lin Chen that she felt faint, but now she suddenly realized that the dull ache in her lower abdomen had surprisingly disappeared.

"It actually doesn't hurt." Li Mengli said in delight.

All these years, Li Mengli had been tormented by abdominal pain.

Though her master took her to many renowned doctors, it was all to no avail.

She never dreamed that getting her butt smacked by Lin Chen would cure it.

Lin Chen chuckled: "Now you believe that smacking the butt can cure illness!"

"Don't even mention it, from now on you must not tell anyone about this, or I'll tear your mouth apart." Li Mengli stamped her foot.

Lin Chen chuckled: "I'm so handsome, would you be willing?"

Li Mengli remembered at that moment that Lin Chen was someone who would take every opportunity, so she regained her icy demeanor and said, "Enough with the nonsense, rogue. How did you know my cultivation hasn't progressed for two years and that my lower abdomen hurts daily? If you keep babbling, I will definitely make you pay."

"Pay, how pay? If you're feeling unbalanced, my butt is open for a few smacks too." Lin Chen said playfully.

Lin Chen could tell immediately that Li Mengli was somewhat cheeky, but in reality, she was a girl with a tough exterior and a soft heart.

During their fight earlier, even though Li Mengli had the advantage, her attacks were precise, only breaking the skin without hurting the flesh.

This was enough to show that this girl wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately.

"Enough, I won't talk to you anymore." Li Mengli saw she couldn't frighten Lin Chen, so she pouted in frustration.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing the shy demeanor of Li Mengli, Lin Chen found it amusing.

At this moment, the mischievous expression on Lin Chen's face disappeared, replaced by seriousness as he said, "I want to ask you a few questions, you must answer truthfully."

"Hmm!" Li Mengli was slightly unaccustomed to seeing Lin Chen's serious face after he was just joking around.

"When did you advance to the peak of the True God Realm?" Lin Chen asked.

"About two years ago." Lin Chen's question directly hit Li Mengli's sore spot.

With her master's guidance, Li Mengli progressed rapidly at first, almost without any obstacles, reaching the peak of the True God Realm in one go.

In fact, within her family, she was considered the most outstanding genius of the Li clan.

But upon reaching the peak of the True God Realm, Li Mengli encountered her first bottleneck in cultivation.

No matter how hard Li Mengli tried, her cultivation couldn't progress further.

In fact, several disciples with strong abilities in her family had caught up with her progress, and from her master's words, she knew many genius talents in China had already advanced to the Demigod Realm at her age, and one prodigy even reached the peak of the Demigod Realm, Lin Chen.

At this time, she felt somewhat inferior and felt she had let her master down after all these years of nurturing, so she ventured out alone, and unexpectedly, her first opponent turned out to be Lin Chen.

"Two years, so my judgment was correct." Lin Chen's gaze fell on Li Mengli's lower abdomen and he spoke in a deep tone.

"Your cultivation reached the peak of the True God Realm and couldn't progress further, and your lower abdomen began to feel a burning pain since then, and this situation became increasingly frequent, initially hurting once every three or four days, until it hurt every day, especially during the hottest midday, when the burning sensation became even stronger, right?"

At this moment, Li Mengli's pretty face was filled with shock. Lin Chen described her symptoms with precision as if he lived with her.

Initially, Li Mengli felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen and was very excited, thinking this was a sign of breaking through to the Demigod Realm. But later, not only did her cultivation not advance, but the burning pain intensified, constantly tormenting her, especially at midday when it hurt so much she felt like dying.

Li Mengli nodded: "You're spot on."

Lin Chen took a deep breath and said: "It seems everything lines up."

"Everything lines up with what?" Li Mengli looked at Lin Chen confusedly.

Lin Chen didn't expect that the girl in front of him possessed dual attributes of wind and fire.

Wind and fire can be said to be a perfect match of attributes, wind boosts fire; fire relies on wind. Once Li Mengli's Spiritual Fire awakens, her strength will certainly break through qualitatively, and she will be the most powerful fire-element ability user.

It can even be said that once Li Mengli's internal fire spirit awakens, with the addition of the wind's power, she might be comparable to Lin Chen's third-level Spiritual Fire.

This kind of dual-attribute situation like Li Mengli's might not even occur once among billions, this girl truly doesn't know what blessings she cultivated in which lifetime, to have such luck.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Chen also felt some admiration.

For two years, this girl had endured the burning pain that is almost impossible for ordinary people to withstand.

Lin Chen had experienced the process of devouring Spiritual Fire before, so he knew what that felt like, yet this girl persisted for two years.

This determination and perseverance made Lin Chen admire her, so he was determined to help this girl.

"It's been hard on you these two years." Lin Chen took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Mengli's eyes turned red.

She felt like she had met a soulmate, as she had been enduring pain most people couldn't bear for the past two years.

Especially at midday, she felt as though her body was being incinerated.

But Li Mengli gritted her teeth and endured it.

Even the bed frame had deep marks from her clawing during those unbearable times of abdominal pain.

"Have you also suffered this kind of pain?" Li Mengli looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have experienced that feeling vividly, rest assured, I will heal you."
