Ten days later.
One kilometer from Shuguang Welfare Institute, in a quiet park at dusk, Feng Yun was training.
The school was crowded and noisy, unsuitable for practice.
There were practice rooms, but they required payment, unaffordable for a poor student like him.
So he came here—secluded and quiet, rarely visited.
"Phew! Last Blood Qi Pill. Today I should reach junior preparatory Warrior."
Feng Yun took out the final pill and swallowed it.
Boom!
It melted instantly, unleashing a strong medicinal power, raising his body temperature as if in a steam chamber.
He immediately practiced Tortoise-Snake Body Refining Technique, forming his stance. Scenes of turtle and snake dormancy arose in his mind, sinking him into a calm, still state. His vitality flowed beneath his skin.
The medicine and heat merged, gradually strengthening his blood and energy.
"Buzz—!"
Suddenly, Feng Yun trembled as his vitality broke through a certain limit and reached a new level, producing something called 'Jinli' (force power) inside him.
Junior preparatory Warrior — achieved!
He slowly withdrew his fists and stood upright, looking more spirited, taller and stronger, and radiating masculine vigor.
"Ten days to reach junior preparatory Warrior — a good start. The Warrior realm is no longer so distant..."
Feng Yun calmed his mind, eyes full of expectation.
During these ten days, he had challenged Projection Entity Lin Qiang fifty times but was frustrated—no valuable drops except Lin Qiang's ordinary clothing. The drop rate was outrageously low.
...
Checking the time, Feng Yun packed up and sprinted like an arrow back to Shuguang Welfare Institute.
This improvement was only from increased vitality; from this moment on, he was no longer an ordinary person.
...
After dinner at the Welfare Institute, Feng Yun dove into his room, linking with the Projection Mirror again, entering mirror space.
"Set — Lin Qiang! Cultivation Level — junior preparatory Warrior!"
"Start challenge?"
Now at junior preparatory Warrior level and equipped with many martial techniques from his past life, Feng Yun felt confident to defeat Projection Entity Lin Qiang.
Lin Qiang at this stage was probably just starting martial techniques.
Even though Lin Qiang was an Attribute Warrior, his advantage was not yet fully apparent before reaching full Warrior level, where Attribute Cultivation Arts could be practiced.
Before Warrior level, it was all about building the foundation. Of course, if the Attribute Talent was very high, that would be another story.
Buzz!
After choosing the combat scene, Projection Entity Lin Qiang immediately attacked.
Vitality surged, fingers clenched, and a straight punch slammed toward Feng Yun with roaring force.
Feng Yun smiled calmly, unafraid, engaging in close combat using his own skills.
Twenty minutes later.
"Bang!"
Projection Entity Lin Qiang disintegrated into light points from Feng Yun's punch.
Light flashed; Feng Yun's consciousness returned to the mirror space.
[Battle with Projection Entity Lin Qiang — Victory!]
[Drop]: None
"Still nothing..."
Feng Yun shook his head helplessly and continued to challenge.
After four more battles and over an hour, finally, there was a drop — and a good one.
[Drop]: First-rank Martial Technique 'Slashing Sword Decision'
[Extract?]
"The drop rate really improved; good stuff immediately."
Feng Yun smiled brightly.
"Extract!"
Ding!
[Manifesting first-rank Martial Technique 'Slashing Sword Decision'... Manifesting... Complete!]
Boom!
Feng Yun's mind trembled as information appeared.
Slashing Sword Decision!
Condense your power into the sword to unleash a sharp, decisive strike!
Feng Yun felt like in a dream, becoming Lin Qiang and experiencing his journey learning Slashing Sword Decision —
arduous practice, breakthroughs, and joy.
Scenes played like a movie in his mind.
In a short time, Feng Yun absorbed the mastery-level Slashing Sword Decision that Lin Qiang took years to learn!
"Slashing Sword Decision!"
Outside, Feng Yun's eyes suddenly opened. He grabbed a chopstick from the table, pouring his force into it, and swung hard.
Fast as lightning, textperfect.
"Pshh!"
The sharp crack was the sound of air splitting, showing the power of mastery-level Slashing Sword Decision.
"Too bad no real sword — only half the power."
Feng Yun shook his head as the chopstick snapped under the force.
"But now, at the same realm, I should be much stronger than Lin Qiang."
He now had the mastery-level Slashing Sword Decision, whereas Lin Qiang probably hadn't started or just begun learning it, far behind Feng Yun.
This showed the huge advantage brought by the Projection Mirror — instantly acquiring a mastery-level Martial Technique without self-cultivation.
It also allowed adjusting Projection Entity's strength freely, with no changes in drops, though drop chances would decrease.
Minor flaws, but nothing to diminish its value.
"I remember the school has real swords. I'll try one tomorrow."
Feng Yun muttered. This was his first mastered Martial Technique, and a mastery-level one at that. He naturally wanted to test it fully.
