Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

The following morning, in the training room.

As before, Lu Yuan sparred with Jiang Lan for more than two hours.

Compared to the day before yesterday, Jiang Lan's progress is frighteningly fast.

The day before yesterday, facing Lu Yuan's offensive, Jiang Lan could only block it, occasionally managing to throw a punch as a counterattack.

Today, he was able to completely track Lu Yuan's punching trajectory.

They often launch complete counter-attacks.

Although some of the movements still seem a bit immature, they've at least grasped the basics.

And this was only their second practice session.

Lu Yuan knew that if it were an ordinary student, just studying for the entrance exam would take at least one or two months of practice.

But Jiang Lan only took two days.

genius!

What he didn't know was that Jiang Lan wasn't a genius, but rather it was due to mental reasons.

If someone has mental strength dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person, and still learns slowly, then that would really be a bit unreasonable.

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand and nodded slightly.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We'll come back tomorrow."

Jiang Lan nodded and said:

"Thank you, Teacher Lu."

He could also feel his own improvement.

It has to be said that professionals are indeed professionals; one-on-one teaching, and the teaching quality is so high.

Lu Yuan glanced at Jiang Lan and asked:

What are your plans for this afternoon?

"I had arranged to spar with Zhao Xuan," Jiang Lan said. "I ran into him yesterday, which was perfect timing."

Lu Yuan's expression flickered slightly.

Zhao Xuan is probably going to suffer a bit.

That kid has always been competitive, so it's good to have Jiang Lan curb his arrogance.

After all, among the specially admitted students, there are really very few who can rival Zhao Xuan.

Over time, this will naturally cultivate his personality, making him somewhat arrogant.

But he was well aware of Jiang Lan's strength, especially after these two days of special training. Although Zhao Xuan was not one-sidedly beaten, he would definitely not gain any advantage in Jiang Lan's hands.

Moreover, with Jiang Lan's monstrous defensive power, he wouldn't get hurt even if he just stood there and let Zhao Xuan hit him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan asked:

"What time is it?"

"This afternoon, in this training room."

"Okay, I'll come too."

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Lan walked into the training room and saw that Zhao Xuan had already arrived.

He stood in the center of the training field, hands in his pockets. When he saw Jiang Lan enter, he raised his chin as a greeting.

Lu Yuan moved a chair and sat by the wall, looking like he was watching a show.

Zhao Xuan took his hand out of his pocket and stretched his wrist.

"Ready?"

"Um."

"Let's begin."

Without wasting any words, Zhao Xuan took the lead and started to move.

His speed was indeed fast. With his peak Qi Condensation Realm foundation, he took a single step and his fist was already in front of Jiang Lan.

Moreover, unlike Qin Yue's straightforward fighting style, Zhao Xuan's punches are very tricky, with many feints. His fists, which are clearly aimed at the chest, suddenly veer off course and become arcs aimed at the temples.

If it were the Jiang Lan of the past, facing this kind of fighting style, she would most likely have taken a punch first and then retaliated with a punch of her own.

However, he had been beaten quite a bit by Lu Yuan in the past two days, and had gained some experience in reading moves.

The moment Zhao Xuan changed the direction of his right fist, Jiang Lan had already turned her head to the side.

The force of the punch grazed past his ear.

Zhao Xuan raised an eyebrow. This kid's reaction speed is so fast?

Although this wasn't a carefully designed feint, Jiang Lan, who came from a remote base city and hadn't received much systematic training before, actually saw through him immediately.

However, Zhao Xuan's hesitation lasted only a moment. Immediately afterwards, his fists flew down towards Jiang Lan one after another.

Left hook, right hook, jab, straight punch, swing punch.

Jiang Lan parried the attacks with ease, one could even say she did so effortlessly.

He leaned back slightly, dodging Zhao Xuan's knee strike.

But Zhao Xuan had clearly anticipated that Jiang Lan would dodge, and followed up with a right elbow sweep.

"Bang!"

Zhao Xuan's elbow slammed solidly into Jiang Lan's ribs.

But in an instant, his eyes changed.

This time, he felt as if he had hit a wall instead of a person.

The force of the recoil from his elbow sent a sharp pain through his bones.

Jiang Lan stood still, looking at Zhao Xuan with a somewhat amused expression.

Seeing Jiang Lan's expression, Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth.

Is this even human?

This defense system could practically be used as a load-bearing beam, right?

But his amazement didn't last long.

After all, the two are still just sparring.

Zhao Xuan took a step back, creating some distance between himself and Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was faster. He took a step forward, grabbed Zhao Xuan's forearm with his right hand, and punched him in the chest with his left fist.

In a moment of urgency, Zhao Xuan raised his other arm and held it in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Zhao Xuan's feet left two tracks on the ground, and he slid backward for seven or eight meters before he finally regained his balance.

One punch!

Even though he managed to block with his arm, he was still nearly knocked away.

Zhao Xuan lowered his arm, feeling a numbness in his tiger's mouth and a tightness in his chest.

He looked at Jiang Lan across from him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then relaxed his shoulders.

"I lost."

Jiang Lan withdrew her fist.

"Thank you for your concession."

Zhao Xuan moved his arms; the numbness in his chest hadn't completely subsided.

"Your strength and defense... are incredible, brother."

"A special talent, huh?" Jiang Lan smiled.

Zhao Xuan looked him up and down for a while, and the more he looked, the more outrageous Jiang Lan seemed.

Even if it's a special talent, it's still too overpowered.

He paused, then began:

"Did you know there's a hunting mission outside the city at the academy next week?"

"have no idea."

"Once a month, it's voluntary, three people per group," Zhao Xuan said. "We go to the deep wilderness area in the north to hunt ferocious beasts. Points are awarded based on the hunting results, and those points can be exchanged for essence blood and resources."

Zhao Xuan looked at Jiang Lan: "Interested in coming together?"

Hunting outside the city?

Points exchanged for essence blood?

This is exactly to his liking.

"Yes," Jiang Lan replied readily.

"Okay," Zhao Xuan said. "I'll send you the mission details later. We're still missing one person; I'll come find him."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan turned and left, leaving Jiang Lan still somewhat bewildered.

Hmm...did he just team up with Zhao Xuan?

However, he was genuinely interested in going to the wilderness.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan seems to be a pretty good person.

Beside him, Lu Yuan stood up from his chair and walked to Jiang Lan's side.

"The timing of that final counterattack was excellent."

"Teacher Lu teaches well."

Lu Yuan ignored Jiang Lan's flattery and casually said:

"I also recommend you take the hunting mission that Zhao Xuan mentioned. It's always good to gain more practical experience."

"it is good."

"The highest-ranking beasts over there are fourth-tier, and fifth-tier ones are extremely rare." Lu Yuan didn't even turn his head. "If you encounter a fifth-tier one, don't try to fight it head-on."

"clear."
