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

Chapter 74, Cultivation, Skill Evolution

Team's base.

living room.

Lin Ran relaxed and threw herself onto the sofa.

"Phew~ Negotiating with superhumans is so stressful."

Xinglu lifted Lin Ran's head and placed it on her soft thighs, gently massaging him with a smile but saying nothing.

Lin rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and went back to her room.

Ling Qiqi remained silent for a while before sitting down opposite Lin Ran.

"Captain, Sister Lin told me your negotiation terms with Ling Feiyu, I..."

"Stop! Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Lin Ran reached out to stop Ling Qiqi, moved her head to find a more comfortable position, which made Xing Luo blush a little.

Ling Qiqi was stunned.

Lin Ran said:

"Just genuinely call me captain. If there are any problems, I'll handle them. Don't ask anything else, understand?"

"……clear."

Ling Qiqi lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

Xingluo glanced at Ling Qiqi. It looked like the girl was crying. Brother Lin had made a girl cry again!

Lin Ran turned around, hugged Xing Luo's waist, and buried her face in her soft belly.

"That's good. You're free to do whatever you want now. Go to the Enlightenment Room when you feel ready to cultivate."

"it is good."

Ling Qiqi left.

Xinglu blushed and poked Lin Ran's ear.

"Brother Lin~ be gentle~"

……

Human Mother Realm

Lincheng, No. 3 Middle School, Cultivation Instructor, Chang Fei.

During his cultivation class, he suddenly received a message from Lin.

The signals from the human race's mother realm cannot be used in the battlefields of the heavens, but the extraordinary are an exception.

Those with extraordinary abilities can first connect to the Mother Realm using their own power, and then use the Mother Realm to transmit messages.

Lin Ran once said: "Contradictory people do not ask about the source; they kill a foreign race alone, apologize for a few, and apologize for living."

"It is also said: the Human Alliance..."

Chang Fei read it word by word, and could no longer suppress his smile.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The students: ? ? ?

Why is the teacher laughing for no reason?!

Gao Jun is the head teacher of Class 8, Grade 11, specializing in academic subjects.

He received a message from Chang Fei and burst out laughing in class, which puzzled everyone.

Later records indicate that several teachers and principals laughed for no apparent reason on a certain day.

……

Battlefield of the Heavens, Base Number Three.

Yan Shuangying and Feng Qingyang hunted down some alien superhumans and returned to their base, covered in wounds.

Once within range, I immediately received a message from Lin.

Feng Qingyang asked in confusion, "Lin? What message did she send us?"

Yan Shuangying: "Not long ago, she volunteered to protect a team, and my granddaughter was in that team. It must be something related to the team, right? I remember Lin Ran asked you to help her out before?"

Feng Qingyang was stunned when he saw the message.

Yan Shuangying leaned over to take a look and was also stunned.

Soon after, Yan Shuangying burst into laughter, the sound carrying far and wide.

"Old Feng! You killed fewer than me this time! You're no good!"

Feng Qingyang's handsome face twisted slightly as he gritted his teeth:

"You're pretty good!"

That day, half of the people at Garrison No. 3 heard Old Master Yan's loud laughter.

……

Team's base.

Lin Ran immersed himself in cultivation, and the enhancement of his mental strength enabled him to multitask.

It can ensure the maximum experience gain speed for each of the four skills while cultivating the Soul Nourishing Technique, Eight Gates Formation, Eye Technique: Instant Slash, and Dragon Scale Shield.

Twenty-four hours a day.

Lin Ran set aside nineteen hours for cultivation, and spent the remaining two hours interacting with Xing Luo and comforting the two jealous catgirls, Yun Zhu and Meng Yu.

With three hours left, he went to Lin to train in martial arts techniques, but every day was a one-sided torture.

Whenever he felt he had improved and was full of confidence, Lin would beat him so badly that he would question his existence.

Finally, covered in injuries, he sought treatment from Nangong Yu and Ling Qiqi.

I occasionally go to check on Yan Lingfei, Jian Linglong, and Zhou Yu. They've been immersed in cultivation most of the time lately and rarely see anyone.

The rare peaceful time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, thirty-six days had passed, with only three days left before the secret realm opened.

[Dragon Scale Shield LV2→LV5: 2365/2500]

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Level 2 LV6: 1050/3000】

Within his spiritual space, six bright silver spiritual crystals condensed, representing that his highest realm had reached the sixth level of a mid-level Awakener.

[Eight Gates Formation LV2→LV3: 266/1500]

Each time the Eight Gates Formation is upgraded, it will be forcibly advanced to the next stage.

Lin Ran chose the "Injury Gate" for her second choice.

The first point, called "Xiu Men" (休门), is located in the center of the clavicle.

The second [Injury Gate] greatly enhances attack power and is located in the palms of both hands.

With each gate opened, the total amount of Qi and blood will increase significantly. Currently, considering only the Eight Gates Formation, the realm is equivalent to the third level of a mid-level Awakener.

However, martial arts combat strength and spiritual energy are difficult to compare. After more than a month of training, Lin Ran believes that his martial arts strength should exceed the sixth level of spiritual power.

The other two skills were maxed out immediately!

[Eye Technique: Instant Slash LV5→LV10: 12060/5000]

[Spiritual Aura Specialization LV8→LV10: 6840/5000]

His skills would evolve after reaching level 10, but he was constantly thinking about the direction of that evolution.

And because it is an attack method, the demand is not high, and experience can be accumulated, so it has been accumulating.

Lin Ran walked out of the Enlightenment Room, lost in thought, unaware that Nangong Yu was walking towards her.

"Team……"

Nangong Yu paused, then took a half-step back.

Lin Ran, who had bumped into Nangong Yu's arms, looked up and asked, "Huh?"

A few seconds later.

Lin Ran snapped out of her daze, took a step back, and showed no embarrassment whatsoever: "Sorry, I was thinking about the future of my ability."

"It's rare to see the captain have something he can't handle."

Nangong Yu smiled gently and patted Lin Ran's head.

Lin Ran didn't care; she was already deep in thought and completely oblivious to external reactions.

Nangong Yu: ...

She pulled Lin Ran up and led her to the living room.

Immediately, the entire group turned to look.

Xinglu smiled slightly, her eyes only on Lin Ran, and placed two cups of coffee down.

Yunzhu's orange cat tail bristled slightly and swayed back and forth.

Mengyu gave a soft hum and buried her face in Zhou Yu's chest.

Yan Lingfei's eyes lit up, and she chuckled.

Jian Linglong pursed her lips and picked up her coffee to taste.

Ling Qiqi stood up, pulled Lin Ran's other hand, and pressed him down to sit between her and Nangong Yu.

Lin Ran was still thinking.

Nangong Yu explained, "The captain's abilities have advanced, but he doesn't know how to choose his path forward."

"Hmm? An advanced ability?"

Lin, who appeared out of nowhere, also became interested.

"Lin Ran, which of your abilities has advanced?"

"Pupil technique".

Lin Ran mechanically looked toward the source of the sound, her eyes gleaming with a bright silver light, where countless sharp blades were created and vanished, forming two vortexes of death.

Lin frowned and added two layers of power to her hand to prevent Lin Ran from accidentally hurting others.

"Eye technique..."

Lin was a little troubled, as she was not good at eye techniques, especially those known for their lethality.

She didn't even know how Lin Ran had come up with this method.

Everyone pondered this, but ultimately looked at each other in bewilderment, because no one was skilled in eye techniques…

Suddenly, Lin Ran spoke.

"Eye techniques, spirit, will, consciousness, speed up/slow down... Let's leave it at that for now."

"years."
