Zhang Lang knew without turning around that Feng Xi had arrived.

"You're so tired today, why didn't you get some rest earlier?" Zhang Lang asked, looking at Feng Xi, who looked exhausted.

These past few days, the two have been practicing for an hour or two after sunset. The practice mainly involves Feng Xi teaching Zhang Lang some weapon techniques. This girl comes from a family of military generals and has practiced martial arts since childhood, mastering all eighteen martial arts styles; she has indeed taught Zhang Lang a great deal.

However, given the current battle situation, aside from an oddball like Zhang Lang, most people would have been exhausted long ago. Zhang Lang only came to the training ground to sharpen his sword and did not expect Feng Xi to come again.

"Since I promised to teach you swordsmanship, how can I give up halfway just because I'm tired!" Feng Xi said very seriously.

"Then let's skip practice today!" Zhang Lang noticed Feng Xi's pale face. "Tell me about the theory..."

"This..." Feng Xi considered for a moment, "Then let's not compare sword techniques... Who taught you your 'Beng Jin' (a type of internal energy cultivation technique), and to what extent have you mastered it?"

"Breakthrough?!" This was a word that Zhang Lang was very unfamiliar with.

"You didn't know?" Feng Xi's eyes widened upon hearing this. "So all this time, you've been fighting with brute force?"

Zhang Lang was even more confused, and he vaguely reminded him in his mind:

"Beng Jin is a unique energy system in this world... An energy system refers to a type of power that some humans generate in addition to muscle strength, helping them to unleash abilities beyond their limits... such as magic, internal energy, chakra aura, etc..."

"However, to use this ability, you need the corresponding organs in your body, such as meridians, a dantian (energy center), and a magic circulation system... You don't have these in your body, so you can't learn it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lang nodded: "I haven't studied it..."

"How could this be..." Feng Xi's eyes were filled with shock and surprise: "You don't even understand the Beng Jin technique, yet you have such strength. If you were to learn it, wouldn't you be..."

As she spoke, Feng Xi rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Lang's hand: "Let me teach you!"

Zhang Lang initially intended to refuse, but seeing the glimmer of hope in Feng Xi's eyes, and knowing that she saw him as humanity's hope in defeating the insects, he couldn't bear to expose her...

Since we're just idling around anyway, why not listen to her recite the incantation? It'll give General Feng a break.

"The so-called 'Beng Jin' has two meanings. First, once it is used, it will greatly increase one's strength, speed, and intensity, with the force of an earthquake! Second, to obtain such power, there is naturally a price to pay. Overuse of Beng Jin will cause the body to collapse, plunging one into an abyss of no return... Therefore, even masters who are proficient in Beng Jin must use it with caution!"

Zhang Lang nodded upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this was somewhat similar to his Dragon Heart, Bullet Time, and Golden Body techniques. They were incredibly powerful when used, but came at a price…

"But you don't need to worry too much!" Feng Xi seemed afraid of startling him.

"Because daily practice of the 'Beng Jin' technique also has the effect of strengthening the mind and body, as one's cultivation deepens, one's spirit and physique will become stronger, naturally enabling one to withstand even stronger 'Beng Jin' and resolve its backlash."

Zhang Lang listened and nodded, his mind explaining things to him:

"In this vast world, roughly ten percent of the worlds possess an energy system. Among them, various energy systems emerge endlessly, including internal energy cultivation and armor-like strength that enhance physical constitution, as well as magic, spiritual power, and immortal arts that allow the casting of spells... In essence, there is no distinction between high and low; it mainly depends on the level of the cultivator!"

"The altar also has enhancements for energy systems, but I can't get my hands on those, so you haven't encountered them... This 'Collapse Force' should be considered the ultimate enhancement energy. Not only are there no accompanying spells, but it can't even achieve the kind of external projection of internal energy in martial arts worlds, where palm strikes can extend several feet... It's purely about strengthening oneself, and when pushed to the limit, it can even overdraw one's life force to unleash superhuman power. However, these two functions overlap somewhat for you, so I don't recommend you learn them... Of course, you can't learn them now anyway..."

"If you ask me, I recommend you learn some magic, like celestial arts. Not only will it compensate for your lack of ranged combat ability, but many of the smaller spells are also very convenient. The biggest drawback of this kind of magical energy is its fragility, but that's not a big deal for you!"

While the virtual voice was babbling in Zhang Lang's mind, Feng Xi outside also began to teach him the techniques for cultivating the Beng Jin (崩劲) energy. At the same time, she also taught him some professional terms such as acupoints and energy channels... Zhang Lang had extremely high water attribute and could remember everything he heard.

"What I've just described are all part of the Feng family's inherited Beng Jin (collapsed energy) techniques!" Feng Xi looked at Zhang Lang:

"My Feng family has a long and distinguished lineage of martial arts, making us one of the most renowned martial arts clans in the world. In the art of Beng Jin (a type of internal energy cultivation), apart from the remnants of the Northern Yan dynasty and the Dugu family now residing in Jiangnan, no one in the world can compare to my Feng family. Such a family secret technique has been passed down through generations with a strict family rule: it must not be passed on to outsiders..."

"Then you can teach me, it's okay?" Zhang Lang asked.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xi's face flushed slightly, then her expression dimmed again as she looked up to the north:

"My Feng family is a prominent clan in Jiangbei. Three years ago, when the insect swarm attacked, my Feng family was the first to bear the brunt of the fight against the insects... Now, I am the only survivor..."

Zhang Lang was taken aback upon hearing this, then sighed, "The Feng family is full of loyal and courageous men; truly admirable and lamentable!"

Feng Xi raised her head: "To be able to fight to the last man for the survival of humanity is the fortune of my Feng family!"

Zhang Lang looked at Feng Xi, this young girl not yet twenty years old. She was originally a daughter of a prestigious family, but now, because of the chaos caused by the insect swarm, her family was destroyed, and she was left all alone. Although she appeared stubborn, deep down she must be incredibly lonely and sorrowful…

Zhang Lang was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only remain silent. And so, the two stood silently on the training ground, neither saying a word, in an awkward silence…

Suddenly, Zhang Lang's ears twitched, and he turned to look at a barracks not far away!

"What's wrong?" Feng Xi asked.

"There's movement over there!" Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes. "Sneaky movements, not patrolling!"

"The soldiers should be asleep by now!" Feng Xi frowned. "Let's go check on them!"

The two tiptoed around the barracks and finally saw a male and female soldier embracing tightly and passionately kissing...

"this……"

When Feng Xi saw this scene, her face flushed and her heart pounded. She became even more nervous when she saw Zhang Lang standing to the side. She took two steps back, stumbled, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The commotion startled the young couple, who turned around and saw Feng Xi and Zhang Lang. They turned pale with fright, immediately separated, and knelt on the ground.

"We know we were wrong, General Feng... Sir Hunter... We beg for leniency... We know we were wrong... We know we were wrong..."
