Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

Over the next few days, Jiang Lan's life became unusually regular.

Every morning at nine o'clock, I would go to the training area, be beaten by Wei Chong for two hours, and then go home.

On the second day, Jiang Lan was in a similar situation to the first day, basically taking the beating the whole time. Occasionally she could see the direction of Wei Chong's punches, but her body couldn't react in time, and she just kept getting beaten up.

By the third day, the situation had improved slightly.

He found that he was beginning to be able to discern the rhythm of Wei Chong's punches. Although he still couldn't dodge them, at least he knew roughly when the next punch would come.

And on the fourth day...

In the training room, Wei Chong, as always, started playing without holding back.

Fists came flying like cannonballs, one after another.

Jiang Lan gritted her teeth and endured it, while using her peripheral vision to track the movement of Wei Chong's arm.

A moment later, Wei Chong lowered his right arm slightly, which was the preparatory motion for throwing a straight punch.

Jiang Lan moved almost instinctively, shifting her feet and stepping to the left.

"call--"

The force of the punch grazed past his right shoulder, creating a gust of wind that stung his face.

But he did indeed dodge it.

Jiang Lan felt a surge of joy, but before he could even celebrate for a second, the second punch landed.

"Bang!"

Wei Chong followed up with his left fist, slamming it into Jiang Lan's chest. The immense force sent Jiang Lan staggering back several steps.

Jiang Lan steadied herself and rubbed her chest.

hiss……

They were just saying they could get past it.

He's handsome for no more than three seconds... half a second.

Wei Chong merely glanced at Jiang Lan, said nothing, and threw another punch.

However, Jiang Lan could clearly feel that Wei Chong's speed was noticeably faster than before.

Isn't that just nonsense?

Just when you think you're about to dodge, the opponent suddenly speeds up. What's the point of dodging then?

Two hours later, the training ended.

Wei Chong stopped what he was doing, stretched his shoulders, and walked towards the door.

"Go faster tomorrow."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and left.

Jiang Lan leaned against the wall, panting. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what Wei Chong meant by those words, nor could she figure out who he was talking to.

Should I tell him to hurry up?

Or is he saying he'll be faster tomorrow?

But whichever it is, it means he's going to have some bad luck tomorrow.

Forget it, I don't want to.

……

At noon, Jiang Lan had a simple meal and then went directly to the spiritual energy chamber.

It's twice a week now, and today is the first one this week.

Upon entering the secret chamber, the door closed, and a familiar aura swept over us.

Jiang Lan immediately assumed a fighting stance and began absorbing spiritual energy.

A system notification sounded.

[High concentration of spiritual energy detected]

Spiritual energy can be used to replace the essence of ferocious beasts for upgrades.

Current upgrade progress: 0/400

Jiang Lan grinned.

His two promotions last time had already drained his savings.

Now, we have to start saving from scratch.

Four hundred bottles of third-tier essence blood is no small number, no matter how you look at it.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

Take it slow.

Jiang Lan got into position and started throwing punches.

Spiritual energy surged into his body, and the numbers on the panel began to fluctuate.

Two hours later, the spiritual energy was depleted.

Jiang Lan stopped, put down his fist, and glanced at the panel.

Current upgrade progress: 43/400

He made some plans in his mind.

Twice a week, forty-something each time, that's over eighty a week.

If we average 85 per week, then 340 over four weeks would be 340.

If he only relies on the spiritual energy chamber, it will take him a little over a month to level up again.

If you add in hunting outside the city and the monthly allowance, you can probably raise the money in about a month.

Moreover, this doesn't even include the military-organized clearing operations.

When the cleanup operation begins, he will most likely reap a considerable amount of essence blood.

After all, with his current strength, defeating a fourth-tier ferocious beast would only take him a minute or two.

After three consecutive days, the points will definitely be substantial.

It's possible that a single raid could fill all the remaining gaps.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan walked out of the spiritual energy chamber, feeling quite pleased.

……

In the evening, Jiang Lan returned to her residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

Shen Qingqiu was busy in the kitchen, with sliced ​​meat and green peppers laid out on the cutting board.

"You're back?" Shen Qingqiu greeted him without turning his head as he busied himself.

"Hmm." Jiang Lan changed her shoes and said with a smile, "How did Auntie know I wanted to eat shredded pork with green peppers?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes at Jiang Lan.

How could she not tell that Jiang Lan was deliberately choosing the nicer words to say?

"Go wash your hands."

"Okay!"

Jiang Lan ran to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then helped Shen Qingqiu serve rice.

A moment later, the food was served.

Shen Qingqiu sat down opposite Jiang Lan, picked up his chopsticks, ate a couple of bites of rice, and then looked up at Jiang Lan.

"How did you get those clothes?"

Jiang Lan looked down at herself.

He was still wearing his training uniform, but the collar had been torn open.

If Shen Qingqiu hadn't pointed it out, he might not have noticed.

As for how it was done...

It was probably cracked by Wei Chong by accident.

Jiang Lan said, "It's from training, it's nothing."

Shen Qingqiu stared at Jiang Lan for a moment, but didn't ask any further questions. He just nodded silently.

The two continued eating.

After taking a few bites, Shen Qingqiu casually remarked:

"I heard that the university is planning a joint operation with the military to clear out [the enemy]?"

Jiang Lan nodded.

"Yes, the three academies and the military are going together to clear out the fourth-tier ferocious beasts in the northern wilderness. We'll depart in six days."

Shen Qingqiu paused slightly.

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's alright," Jiang Lan said. "I can handle a fourth-tier opponent by myself. With Zhao Xuan and Lin Wan teaming up with me, it shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Qingqiu didn't say anything more, but just lowered his head.

Jiang Lan glanced at her and knew what Shen Qingqiu was probably worried about, but he didn't explain further.

Some things, if said too much, will only make Shen Qingqiu more worried.

Therefore, it's best not to explain too much. As long as he returns safely, Shen Qingqiu won't worry.

After the meal, as usual, Jiang Lan washed the dishes.

After washing the dishes, he sat down next to Shen Qingqiu and took out his phone to check it.

In the group chat, Zhao Xuan sent a bunch of messages.

Jiang Lan looked at the most useful one.

The team formation rules are out. Team B will have three to five people per group, and the three of us make a perfect group. I've registered you guys.

Below is Lin Wan's reply.

【1】

Jiang Lan replied casually:

【understood. 】

Zhao Xuan replied instantly: [By the way, I haven't asked yet, how's your new mentor? Is he fierce? You must have gotten beaten up quite a bit, right?]

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Is it ominous or not?

To be honest, he had never seen anyone more ferocious than Wei Chong.

But I'll say it again.

Do you understand the saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river"?

Zhao Xuan: [666]

Lin Wan: [Confirmed to be that he's been reading too many novels.]

Jiang Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, leaned back on the sofa, and put away her phone.

Sooner or later, he would make Wei Chong sing "Conquer" for him.
