In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 21, Wind Without a Trace, Sparring

Martial arts school.

After hearing the sound, Canglong Qiwu came out, glanced at the broken wall, and strode away.

The others hurriedly dug Li Feixing out, and saw a clear fist-shaped indentation on Li Feixing's chest, with pale golden spiritual energy imprinted there, preventing the flow of spiritual energy.

Fortunately, everyone knew how to deal with it, and after working for a while, they managed to dissipate the earth-attribute spiritual energy.

"Brother Li, how are you feeling? Should you go to the medical team?" someone asked worriedly.

"No need, I misjudged them. They truly deserve to be from the top team." Li Feixing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing.

"Drive, let's go find Feng Wuhen."

……

Shooting range.

Lin Ran held the machine gun, and all the bullets hit a target, shattering it completely.

This method can achieve an experience gain of 1,500 points per hour.

[Aim accurately, experience +3000]

[Aiming for LV6→LV7: 2540/3500]

Next came two courses: cooking and Reiki techniques.

Mengyu was not satisfied with the cooking class because Lin Ran only learned anatomy, and she didn't get to eat anything cooked properly.

"Captain, do you have any cooked ones?"

"Go back and have Yunzhu make it for you; her skills are no worse than mine."

"Really, Sister Yun? Is it better than pudding?" Mengyu turned her head and asked.

Yunzhu: "..."

Lin Ran: "..."

You'd better really want to eat pudding.

……

Another new day.

Lin Ran didn't go to the fighting arena. Instead, she sat under a willow tree, recalling the cultivation methods of the Hidden Dragon Style.

The Hidden Dragon School believes that everyone's body structure is different, so there are only suitable methods, not fixed techniques.

The training method only provides detailed descriptions of the effects, without mentioning how to use physical strength at all.

The content is roughly divided into three parts, which Lin Ran corresponds to her own skills.

The Hidden Dragon Body corresponds to the evolution of the [Health Preservation] skill, primarily focused on defense.

The Dragon Soaring Technique corresponds to the Fitness skill, which focuses on speed.

Whirlwind Thunder corresponds to [Fighting] and is the main attack.

However, martial arts can only serve as a supplement for now and doesn't need to be too complicated. At this stage, cultivating spiritual energy is the right path.

After carefully reading through the text, Lin Ran began her cultivation.

The muscles begin to tremble in a specific rhythm from the feet, gradually spreading upwards to the thighs, waist, shoulders, and head; the process is slow but steady.

When the tremor covered her entire body, a pale red blood-like aura appeared on Lin Ran's skin.

Blood energy transformed into a dragon head to protect its head, beneath which were dense dragon scales, resembling a full suit of armor.

Hidden Dragon Body!

[Health Preservation, Experience +600]

Lin Ran felt the energy being depleted, but during this process, spiritual energy replenished her blood and energy, which could sustain her for thirty minutes.

Lin Ran took a step, and a red shadow flashed as she appeared beneath the wall. She flashed again and returned to her original spot.

Dragon Soaring Technique!

[Fitness training, experience +350]

After several attempts, Lin Ran pulled his arm back, and the dragon scales trembled slightly, forming a spiral centered on his right fist.

boom!

Lin Ran threw a punch, and a blood dragon leaped out from his fist, instantly crashing into the energy barrier and causing it to tremble violently.

It took more than ten seconds for the energy barrier to completely lose its power.

Thunder and lightning!

[Combat experience +840]

[Fighting LV3→LV4: 600/2000]

"Phew~"

Lin Ran dispelled the Hidden Dragon Body, and the dispersed blood energy returned to her body, alleviating her weakness. This was another function of the Hidden Dragon Body: restoring injuries and physical strength.

Yunzhu, Mengyu, Lingxi, and Lingmeng were all awakened and ran into the courtyard.

"Brother Lin, what just happened?" Yunzhu looked around but didn't see any enemies.

"Just practicing an attack method." Lin Ran waved his hand.

The four cat-people stared at the breached wall and the slowly repairing energy barrier, lost in thought.

They had secretly tested the defensive capabilities of this thing, and even with all their strength, they could only create a ripple.

Lin Ran suddenly looked towards the doorway.

A handsome young man with blue hair, a slender figure, and an expressionless face stood there at some point.

"Feng Wuhen has come to pay a visit," he said.

drip~

Lin Ran opened the terminal and received some information from Feng Wuhen, who was also an elite member of the first plan.

"Please come in."

Lin Ran waved her hand, and the energy barrier opened instantly.

Feng Wuhen strode in, a gentle breeze surrounding him.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, realizing that Feng Wuhen's compatible attribute was wind, and the compatibility was extremely high!

If calculated based on the skill panel, the level is above 10!

"I once owed someone a favor, and to repay that favor, I want to have a match with you," Feng Wuhen said.

"And the price?"

"...You carry it." Feng Wuhen glanced at the damaged wall.

"I'll be your sparring partner for two hours every day for half a month," Lin Ran said.

"Thirty hours in total, is that right? Okay, if you lose, you can apologize to Li Feixing." Feng Wuhen nodded slightly.

Li Feixing? The one from the Martial Arts Academy?

"it is good."

call out!

Dozens of transparent wind blades instantly attacked, blocking Lin Ran's dodge route. Feng Wuhen's fists were surrounded by pure white wind blades, and he followed up with a smash.

Lin Ran remained stationary, activated the Hidden Dragon Body, and instantly donned a layer of dragon scale armor.

bang bang bang...

The wind blades that struck the dragon scales shattered and disappeared, only slightly dimming the scales.

Lin Ran raised her hand, her gaze fixed on Feng Wuhen.

Centered on his right fist, the dragon scales swirled into a vortex, and then he swung his fist forward, unleashing a nearly materialized red dragon from the tip of his fist.

Feng Wuhen's expression changed slightly. He immediately clasped his hands together, and the wind blades transformed into a wind wall with triangular cones protruding from the outside, facing the dragon's head.

boom!

The triangular cone shattered instantly, the wind wall shook violently, dense cracks appeared, and then it shattered into pieces with a bang.

The red dragon projection dimmed slightly before crashing into Feng Wuhen's chest, who barely managed to shield himself with his arms.

boom!

Feng Wuhen was blasted away and crashed hard into the energy barrier.

The energy barrier shattered into pieces with a bang, and the red dragon crashed into Feng Wuhen's figure and flew away.

Lin Ran dispersed her hidden dragon form and, seeing someone chasing after Feng Wuhen, stopped paying attention.

Bring up the skill panel.

[Combat experience +350]

[Fitness Level 10, Experience Maxed]

[Will it evolve into: Dragon Soaring Technique?]

[Health and Wellness Level 10, Experience Maxed Out]

[Will it evolve into: Hidden Dragon Form?]

"evolution."

[Fitness LV10 → Dragon Swimming Technique LV1: 1/500]

[Health Preservation LV10 → Hidden Dragon Body LV1: 1/500]

crunch~

The three cars screeched to a halt outside the door, and Lin Sheng rushed in with his entourage in a panic.

"Mr. Lin, how are you?"

"It's nothing. I just sparred with someone and replaced the energy shield in the yard with a new one," Lin Ran said calmly.

"Huh? Okay." Lin Sheng was a little confused, but quickly found the broken energy shield generator.

But... this thing can only be broken by those in the later stages of awakening!

After replacing the generator and activating the energy barrier, the entire process took less than ten minutes. Lin Sheng and his group left, and the courtyard returned to peace.

"Yunzhu, Mengyu, you two will practice fighting with me." Lin Ran felt that Feng Wuhen might not be able to come over in a short time, but the experience couldn't be wasted.
