Three days later!
Bang!
The camphor tree in the courtyard trembled. With Lin Chen's palm strike, another thirty percent of its already sparse leaves fell.
It was now visibly thin.
Its slight baldness had evolved into near baldness.
Lin Chen stood in the center of the courtyard, bare-chested. From both his hands and arms up to his shoulders, the areas where his apertures lay showed visible streams of blood-colored energy flowing beneath the surface of his skin.
Four apertures!
Two in each hand.
Only from this moment onward could he truly say that neither hand had any shortcomings.
"System Panel!"
Host: Lin Chen Realm: Aperture Opening Realm (4/24):(5/100) Clear Wind Palm: Minor Accomplishment (2/10) Water Cloud Palm: Proficient (1/10)
...(To prevent everyone from saying I'm padding things out, there's no such thing as padding during the free period. Still, Jiudeng will try not to write out unchanged panels.)
After ten days, the progress of Clear Wind Palm had increased by only one point.
Lin Chen did not feel discouraged. Although he had been cultivating Clear Wind Palm every day for the past ten days, he had mainly relied on its Minor Accomplishment proficiency to accelerate the circulation of his blood and energy. His comprehension of Clear Wind Palm itself had not improved much.
After spending half an hour familiarizing himself with the changes brought about by the increase in strength from opening his fourth aperture, Lin Chen changed out of the academy's training uniform and put on a set of martial clothes.
This outfit had been given to him a few days ago by Junior Brother Cheng when he and Lu Yongfeng's group had gathered. Junior Brother Cheng's family ran a cloth shop, and he had given each of the three of them two sets of clothes.
