Light descended, and the scene before Feng Yun transformed from the small space into a lush forest.
Green and vibrant, full of life, as if it were the real world.
Feng Yun stood facing Lin Qiang, who was quietly waiting.
Without the intimidating Warrior aura from before, Lin Qiang now looked about the same as Feng Yun, no different.
Feng Yun didn't hesitate. He slowly raised his fists and grew serious.
In his previous life, he was a martial arts enthusiast. Though he never mastered legendary skills, he was much stronger than an average person.
Lin Qiang's face was expressionless, like a puppet.
As Feng Yun set his stance, Lin Qiang immediately charged.
"Clash!"
Feng Yun threw a punch, colliding with Lin Qiang's attack, but was pushed back, clearly at a disadvantage in strength.
"As expected, even at the ordinary human level, Lin Qiang's physical fitness is better than this body's."
Feng Yun wasn't surprised. Lin Qiang's body had been forged since childhood with medicinal baths and tonics, much stronger than Feng Yun's orphanage-born physique.
However, although Feng Yun lacked strength, he excelled in technique.
After all, he had studied martial arts for years in his previous life, and now was his chance to use that skill.
Lin Qiang, being younger and an ordinary person level, likely had not learned much martial technique.
Suddenly, Feng Yun took a step forward, rushing quickly toward Lin Qiang. Just before contact, he twisted his body and slipped to the side.
Before Lin Qiang could react, Feng Yun struck a whipping kick firmly into Lin Qiang's chest and abdomen.
"Bang!"
A loud impact, Lin Qiang's body fell, then vanished into a cloud of light points.
"Phew, lucky to win. If I couldn't beat even an ordinary-level Lin Qiang, I might as well give up."
Feng Yun exhaled lightly.
The scene disappeared and Feng Yun returned to the small mirror space.
He rubbed his fist, which still tingled.
"The Projection Entity is almost no different from the real thing. Except it lacks intelligence and speech, this mirror's power is extraordinary."
After a moment, his attention was caught by a message.
[Battle with Projection Entity Lin Qiang — Victory!]
[Drop: First-rank Cultivation Art 'Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique' (First kill guarantees drop)]
[Extract?]
"A guaranteed drop on first kill, what a benefit."
Feng Yun smiled, "Extract."
Buzz!
A flash of light shot deep into his mind.
[Manifesting 'Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique'... Manifesting... Complete!]
Boom!
Feng Yun's mind shook as streams of information appeared.
The Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique, a Foundation Establishment art, mimics the rhythm of turtles and snakes, making practitioners dormant and latent, refining the body!
With the information appearing, Feng Yun felt as if he became the turtle and snake, immersed in fog and haze without awareness.
Outside, his breathing unknowingly grew deep and prolonged, the sound of air flowing through his nose.
The breathing was ancient and slow, like a turtle hibernating or a great snake sleeping, with breaths seeming dusted by thousands of years.
After an unknown time, Feng Yun awoke feeling different.
"My strength has increased somewhat, and my vitality is stronger."
He clenched his fist and felt a clear improvement.
"No wonder this first-rank body refining Cultivation Art is much stronger than the mass-market Eighteen Forms of Body Forging."
Feng Yun sighed. Only family disciples in the base could enjoy this; ordinary people had only Eighteen Forms of Body Forging plus some medicine.
Now with this Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique and the Blood Qi Pill, his effect was close to those using Eighteen Forms plus medicine.
But Feng Yun wouldn't stop here.
He wanted to keep challenging!
There were still plenty of good things on Lin Qiang!
"Each Projection can be challenged five times a day. Four times left today. Hopefully, more good loot."
Feng Yun muttered.
He then linked with the Projection Mirror, set the level, and began another battle with Projection Entity Lin Qiang.
Ten minutes later.
Boom!
Feng Yun's punch exploded Lin Qiang into scattered light points.
"Last challenge for today, hope for some loot."
He had tried three times before with nothing dropped, showing how low the drop rate was when strength was lowered.
Light flashed; Feng Yun returned to the mirror space.
[Battle with Projection Entity Lin Qiang — Victory!]
[Drop: One bottle of First-rank Blood Qi Pill]
[Extract?]
Alchemy Pill drop!
Feng Yun's eyes lit up. He knew Blood Qi Pills were made from at least a dozen precious herbs, pure and potent, preserving only the essence.
This small bottle was worth at least 30,000 yuan on the market.
Thirty thousand yuan was astronomical for Feng Yun at this stage.
Before, he could only look on from afar, but now...
"Extract!"
Buzz!
[Manifesting one bottle of First-rank Blood Qi Pill... Manifesting... Complete!]
Swipe!
Outside, a delicate jade bottle appeared in Feng Yun's palm.
Removing the cork, a fragrance of herbs wafted out, and even a slight inhale caused his vitality to respond.
This was clearly quality goods.
Inside were ten pills, pale red in color, excellent in appearance and scent.
"Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique plus this Blood Qi Pill — treatment only family disciples could enjoy..."
Feng Yun sighed deeply. This was truly a reward after hardship.
For some time afterward, he took the Blood Qi Pill daily, combined with Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique, training diligently.
With resources in hand, the next step was effort!
