After the darkness!

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Lin Yijue muttered to himself as he finished his milk tea in one gulp.

Upon closer reflection, his condition was quite different from that of the girl.

It's not that serious, since if he doesn't do high-intensity training after waking up every day, it won't affect his normal life at all.

The most important thing is that this incident had absolutely no trace in the original owner's memories, and he didn't believe that it would happen after he transmigrated.

"Maybe I'm just scaring myself." Lin Yijue wiped his face.

However, there do seem to be some issues recently.

He recalled the conversation between the two of them just now.

From what I recall, public officials and those working in sectors related to basic public services have been working quite a lot of overtime lately.

This week, Lin Yijue has hardly seen Lin Xiaofei at home.

This may be preparation for the Cold River period.

Preventing and controlling extreme cold disasters has always been a routine and key task for the government every year.

"No matter what, I need to get started with Yun Sheng boxing today..." He felt a strange sense of urgency.

……

When he got home, as expected, Lin Xiaofei was still not home.

Thinking about what happened today, Lin Yijue specifically asked his mother, Song Huiling.

"Your sister? I asked her the day before yesterday, and she said she's been working a lot of overtime lately and has some tasks to complete, so we don't need to worry about her."

Upon hearing this, Song Huiling put down her chopsticks, rolled up her sleeves to wipe her sweat, and looked on with a look of reminiscence.

"By the way, your sister also told us not to participate in any random activities lately. I didn't even go to the health lecture in the community yesterday, where they gave away eggs," she added.

"It's good that you're not going. Those things are all scams; they just want to rip you off," Lin Yijue added quietly after listening.

"How could it be a lie? That was organized by the community. You guys are really..." Mother Song Huiling said, shaking her head as she carried the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.

Lin Yijue didn't say anything more and went back to his room to start reviewing his lessons according to his study plan.

If he doesn't learn now, when he reaches the point of extreme illness and his condition flares up, he definitely won't have the energy to read any books anymore, so we need to make good time arrangements.

However, because he encountered many things today, and was also eager to see how much energy the [Cloud Rising Boxing Technique] could provide from beginner to intermediate level, he couldn't concentrate on learning it.

It took a full two hours to complete the task.

Lin Yijue wasted no time. After reviewing his lessons, he quickly tidied up the room, secured the sandbag, put on his boxing gloves, and began practicing his basic stances.

The standing combat techniques he has learned so far only include boxing; techniques like kicking and knee strikes are advanced skills that he hasn't fully mastered yet.

Without thinking twice, Lin Yijue immediately began practicing according to the routine.

Straight punch + hook punch.

Straight punch + straight punch + hook punch + uppercut.

Slowly begin incorporating the Cloud Rising Step, slide forward to throw a punch, retreat and step back, then immediately slide forward again to follow up with a heavy swing.

With repeated practice

"Hoo-ho-"

His breathing quickly became heavy, no longer a rhythmic cadence, but a howling sound like a bellows bursting, mixed with the increasingly rapid, torrential rain-like pounding.

Before long, the familiar feeling of fatigue returned.

Like bone-chilling ice water, it soaked over my ankles.

Lin Yijue subconsciously thought of the pain that would follow, and his whole body stiffened, but he didn't stop moving.

Soon, he felt a burning sensation in his body.

It doesn't flow on the surface of the body, but rather seeps out, accumulates, and burns quietly from deep within every inch of muscle.

The burning pain wasn't a sharp, stabbing pain, but a dull, crushing sensation, grinding against his muscle fibers, as if an invisible iron hand was gripping his internal organs and twisting them repeatedly.

The pain came from every inch of muscle.

At the same time, a buzzing sound appeared in my ears. It was initially faint, like distant power lines vibrating in the wind, but with each stretching movement, the buzzing suddenly became sharp and amplified!

In the surging, shrill tide, he seemed to "hear" something...

Subtle, intermittent, eerie syllables. A hallucination? Or the agonizing wail of his ears? He couldn't tell, nor could he afford to be distracted.

pain!

Burning pain!

A tearing pain.

Lin Yijue didn't dare to blink for a second, staring intently at the sandbag in front of him.

To be precise, look at the talent tree on one side.

His boxing genius certainly did not disappoint him.

For this type of basic boxing technique, it performs extremely well in the beginner stage.

92.8%.

93.4%.

96.2%.

Every punch delivered in its entirety receives feedback from the blue water sphere on the talent tree.

He could even faintly hear a gurgling sound, like water droplets flowing from a water sphere and falling onto the tender saplings.

It's coming soon, at most a few punches.

Lin Yijue's body trembled slightly because the buzzing in his ears was so loud that it was starting to affect his vision, and the bone-chilling hunger was becoming more and more obvious.

He could almost feel that with each pump of blood from his heart, the nauseating, bone-deep aching sensation intensified.

But... it will be soon.

99.4%.

soon.

One last time.

He instinctively focused his energy into his abdomen, as if compressing a heavy block of energy at his core.

Take a deep breath, push off with the balls of your feet, and you glide out silently.

As you lean forward, slightly twist your waist and hips, which in turn moves your spine and shoulders!

He swung his right hand out and slammed it hard into the center of the dark brown sandbag!

"Bang—!!!!"

A muffled thud, far louder than before, exploded out, like a hammer striking solid oak.

The heavy sandbag was hit and sent flying upwards!

The retaining rings on the sandbag emitted a teeth-grinding groan.

Lin Yijue froze on the spot. Soon, the sandbag fell back with a heavy whistling sound, its rough surface almost grazing his earlobe as it hit the ground.

He remained motionless, staring intently at the talent tree in his field of vision.

at last.

done?

100%.

His Adam's apple bobbed dryly, his face contorted slightly, but his eyes were filled with intense joy.

[Yun Sheng Boxing Technique: Minor Achievement (2%)]

Splash!

In an instant, the soft murmur of flowing water rang in his ears.

Before Lin Yijue's eyes, a large clump of water droplets fell directly from the light blue water sphere belonging to the Yun Sheng Fist Technique.

The water droplet fell straight onto the talent tree, and the two merged into one.

"Energy collection rate 26.4%, number of evolution attempts: 1, evolutionary path: insufficient information, unknown."

However, the large water droplet did not completely merge with the talent tree, leaving a small clump floating beside the small tree.

Lin Yijue focused his consciousness on it and immediately received a message.

"Condensing consciousness energy crystals (ash), shall we collect them?"

"Consciousness energy crystals? What are these? And the gray quality... does that mean they're inferior to white?"

Lin Yijue's mind raced.

He didn't think about it for long. He was too exhausted. The hunger in his body felt like it had emptied his stomach, leaving only a burning void that tore at his body.

Regardless, let's take it first.

The moment the decision was made, the small group's blue energy flowed directly into the talent tree.

At the same time, a cool breeze flowed from the ink spots on the back of his hand and merged into his body.

He felt a chill in his body, and the burning sensation inside him lessened somewhat.
