Inside the spacious training hall.
Coach Lin walked over to a steel-wrapped Wooden Stakes farther away.
The distance between them was less than thirty centimeters.
"Watch closely."
Coach Lin gave him a reminder before making his move.
Fang Qingyu immediately entered the Dragon Hibernation Breath state.
However, in Fang Qingyu's eyes, Coach Lin still looked like an ordinary person.
Then.
In the blink of an eye.
Coach Lin's shoulder blade suddenly shifted, and his elbow thrust out with an explosive burst of air.
Bang—
A deafening explosion rang out through the hall!
The Wooden Stakes wrapped in a layer of steel were instantly torn apart, and the entire stake beneath was yanked out of the ground by sheer explosive force.
Wood chips flew everywhere, while the shattered steel fragments shot into the ground like bullets.
Only the area around Coach Lin remained like a patch of pure land.
Fang Qingyu's Adam's apple bobbed.
He had seen Coach Lin's movement clearly.
He had sunk his elbow and unleashed his power right where he stood, without even using the coiling motion of his waist and hips to build momentum.
That meant Coach Lin had shattered a Wooden Stakes weighing several hundred jin with his own strength, without borrowing any force at all.
Was this what a true martial artist was!?
He was so strong that he completely exceeded Fang Qingyu's imagination.
"Train hard. Once you become a martial artist, you'll be able to do this too."
Coach Lin had apparently demonstrated that elbow strike just to say those words.
"Phew."
Fang Qingyu exhaled slowly and nodded seriously.
He did not say things like I'll definitely do it or I'll work hard.
Everything would be proven through action.
Since Coach Lin had already shown him what the road ahead for a martial artist looked like, and just how magnificent the scenery would be,
all Fang Qingyu had to do
was keep climbing!
Until he reached the highest peak of martial arts!!!
"I'm leaving. Train by yourself from here on out. I'll be waiting for you in the Elite Class."
Coach Lin left after saying those final words.
Fang Qingyu had already reached the entry level in Baji Quan. From here, he needed to keep practicing and improving.
After seeing Coach Lin off,
Fang Qingyu did not hurry to go to the club for a full package.
Activating Baji Quan this time had brought him an entirely different experience.
The instant he activated it, all four attributes had increased slightly to varying degrees.
This was the first time activating a skill had increased his attributes.
Fang Qingyu still had a few skill points left unused.
So the improvement wasn't over yet!!
Codex, add it to Baji Quan!!
The instant the skill points were invested into Baji Quan, the veins at Fang Qingyu's temples bulged violently.
A scorching flood suddenly exploded from his coccyx!
"Urgh!"
Fang Qingyu groaned through clenched teeth.
The muscles throughout his body writhed violently like living snakes, while his shoulder blades crackled like popping beans.
His Training Uniform was instantly torn apart by his bulging trapezius muscles.
Beneath his exposed skin, strips of muscle could be seen moving and reorganizing like steel bars. The crisp sounds of his spine connecting section by section rang especially clearly throughout the empty hall.
"Now that's more like it!!"
Fang Qingyu gritted his teeth as he endured the pain inside his body.
Once the warm current slowly faded,
Fang Qingyu opened the Codex and looked at his basic information.
Strength: 13.6→15.1 Speed: 12.9→14.2 Physique: 12.7→14.5 Willpower: 13.5→16.3
Willpower had once again become the highest of the four attributes.
Moreover, all four attributes had increased substantially!!!
So strong.
Fang Qingyu lightly bounced on his feet. That was the only feeling he had.
Baji Quan had originally only reached the entry level, and there were still many movements that felt stiff. But now, it flowed from his hands as naturally as if he had practiced it for over a decade!
His gaze swept over the instruments at the side of the hall.
He walked straight over.
How much punching power would he have this time!?
Bang—
180 KG!!
Fang Qingyu stared at it in a daze.
He had to remember that he had only tested himself that morning, when the result had been 155.
In less than a few hours, it had risen by 25 kilograms!!
Fortunately, Qi Hao was not here.
Otherwise, he probably would have charged at Fang Qingyu with red eyes and fought him to the death.
Fang Qingyu smiled at the thought.
But this still wasn't over.
That had only been an all-out punch without using martial techniques.
He still had to test the power of his Level 2 Baji Quan.
He used the simplest and most direct move again—the Ding Xin Elbow.
Bang—
221 KG!!
Huh???
The power had increased by more than twenty percent!?
Fang Qingyu's eyes lit up slightly.
One should not underestimate twenty percent more strength. That morning, Fang Qingyu had only gained 10 kilograms of punching power, yet Qi Hao had already clearly sensed the difference.
If he used martial techniques now...
He might really be able to fight Qi Hao at full strength.
Fang Qingyu's thought was not entirely groundless.
When he had encountered that Martial Arts Apprentice at the Combat Arena, the other man had learned martial techniques, and his strength might even have been slightly greater than Fang Qingyu's at the time.
But his ability to take a hit had been far too poor.
As a result, Fang Qingyu had taken one of his attacks without falling, while the other man had gone down instead.
"I'll see tomorrow whether I can beat him brutally in return."
Thinking this, Fang Qingyu walked out of the martial arts center.
He then looked at the completely empty entrance and felt speechless.
They really trusted him.
Ever since he had started practicing martial arts, he had practically become the last person to leave every day.
He mounted his Electric Scooter.
He had originally planned to go to the club for a full package today.
However, improving Baji Quan had brought him huge attribute gains, saving him ten thousand yuan.
He opened the order-taking function.
Fang Qingyu began his afternoon work as a Delivery Driver.
The cost-effectiveness of delivering food had actually become rather low.
His job had reached the maximum level.
Only the Electric Scooter Piloting skill remained.
He was still 65 experience points away from leveling it up.
Fang Qingyu estimated that this skill would reach Level 3 at most.
He could already drift casually on an Electric Scooter. It wasn't as if he could level up and fly into the sky.
So he needed to find a replacement career as soon as possible.
After the afternoon ended, he had gained 18 experience points.
Job Basic Skill: Electric Scooter Piloting Lv.2 (153/200)
It would be able to level up in three days at most.
At 7 p.m.,
Fang Qingyu first completed his work as a Security Guard, as usual.
Your job "Security Guard" experience +15 Your job basic skill "Alertness" experience +20
Both his job and skill experience had passed one hundred.
He then went to the security office and changed into his own clothes.
"Let's begin."
He said this to the nearby staff member.
"Let's go."
He then entered the venue through the guest passage.
Some of yesterday's gamblers shouted the names of other powerful contestants as soon as they saw Fang Qingyu's familiar mask, desperately hoping that Fang Qingyu would lose.
However, they were destined to be disappointed.
Fang Qingyu's current punching power was 180 kilograms, which was already very strong.
On top of that, both his breathing technique and Baji Quan had now reached Level 2.
Against these people,
he could not feel any pressure at all.
After five easy consecutive victories in the arena, the time reached half past one.
Fang Qingyu waited for a full half-hour, but no other contestant came to challenge him.
He could only give up.
Still, the gains were quite good.
Your job "Mixed Martial Arts Athlete" experience +12 Your job Unique Job Skill "Weakness Gaze" experience +19
At this rate, both his job and skill would level up in a week.
He returned to the security office.
Brother Jiao was not there today, and Fang Qingyu did not know where he had gone.
The bonus money, however, was still delivered right on time.
"Brother Fang, take care~"
Seeing his colleague bowing and scraping, completely unlike his usual attitude,
Fang Qingyu nodded.
Without realizing it, he had already reached a height that ordinary people could only look up to.
Tonight, he had earned another 150,000 yuan.
In the past, he would have needed to save for a year and a half without eating or drinking to accumulate that much.
Now, he only needed one night.
And all of this was brought about by practicing martial arts!
Fang Qingyu rode his Electric Scooter home through the night.
Fang Qingyu did not hurry to deposit the money.
Instead, he seized the time and began grinding Dragon Hibernation Breath.
Inside the rental apartment, where he was alone,
only sweat bore witness to Fang Qingyu's journey of ascent!
It had to be said.
Coach Lin's method was very effective for someone like him.
There was no need for anyone to coax him into training.
All he needed was to be shown the boundless scenery ahead.
Fang Qingyu was more motivated than anyone!
An hour later.
