Jiang Li, Faster

"Again!"

Yun Fei refused to accept defeat and quickly got back to her feet.

Jiang Li naturally did not refuse. Sparring with an A-Class ability user to accumulate combat experience was exactly what he lacked.

What was more, Yun Fei was a great beauty, which naturally added plenty of enjoyment to the match.

They fought in the sparring arena for an entire afternoon, until both were utterly exhausted.

After Yun Fei changed into fresh clothes, the two found a nearby restaurant.

"I never expected your innate ability to evolve. And although it's a C-Class ability, it has the Support System's Blood Qi Amplification, the Mental System's area perception, and the Enhancement System's defensive protection." Yun Fei spoke as she ate. "If it also had the power of the Elemental System, your innate ability would practically be omnipotent."

"It's truly unbelievable. If your ability is undeveloped or growth-type, I wonder what its final form will look like."

By now, she had completely accepted Jiang Li's monstrous talent and strength.

"I'm also very curious about what exactly my innate ability is."

Jiang Li answered Yun Fei while wolfing down his food, but improving his innate ability consumed far too much lifespan.

Although he still had over a thousand years of lifespan, he also needed to cultivate the Heaven-Stealing Divine Art. His lifespan was nowhere near enough.

In two months, he would also need to repay the Yellow Book with eleven hundred years of lifespan.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt that he still had far too little lifespan.

If he were not about to head to the special training camp, he would already have gone back into the wilderness to hunt exotic beasts.

Watching Jiang Li like this, Yun Fei did not even realize that she had unconsciously smiled.

Suddenly, Yun Fei's phone rang. She took it out for a look, and her expression shifted slightly.

"Your application for the special training camp was successful. It's the Donghai Training Camp, one of the five major training camps."

Noticing Yun Fei's unusual expression, Jiang Li asked, "Is there something special about this Donghai Training Camp?"

Yun Fei put away her phone and took a deep breath. "Very special. As its name suggests, Donghai Training Camp is located within the Donghai Battlefield. Apart from some exotic beasts, there are also massive numbers of sea beasts there. And over the past century, the East Sea Defense Line has fallen no fewer than three times."

"As one of the three major coastal battlefields, the East Sea Defense Line is a genuine Meat Grinder, a tomb of heroes."

"And Donghai Training Camp also has the highest death rate among the five major training camps."

Jiang Li could not help recalling what he knew about sea beasts. Although Great Xia's main battlefields were now on land, most of Earth was enveloped by seawater. Whether in area or in the number of exotic beasts, the seas far surpassed the land.

That was why Great Xia had opened the three major coastal battlefields of Donghai, Magic City, and the South Sea.

Due to the enormous numbers of sea beasts, the casualties among soldiers in these three battlefields far exceeded those in other war zones.

The Donghai Battlefield in particular had seen a death rate that had only risen in recent years. Fortunately, aside from the military, the Li Family and Rong Family also helped guard the Donghai Battlefield, driving back wave after wave of sea beasts attempting to land.

"If you don't want to go, I can talk to them for you and have you transferred to another training camp," Yun Fei said when she saw Jiang Li deep in thought.

"No need." Jiang Li smiled faintly. "I don't care where I go. As long as there are exotic beasts to kill."

Those words shook Yun Fei's heart, and her favorable impression of Jiang Li rose once more.

Just then, Jiang Li looked at her as well. Their eyes met, and Yun Fei's heart suddenly fluttered. She hurriedly lifted a glass of juice to her lips and used her words as cover.

"Tomorrow, gather at the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall. There are still a few days left, so I'll give you some special training in advance."

"You're going to give me special training?" Jiang Li sounded doubtful.

"Of course. Or what, are you going to train me?" Yun Fei raised a brow, her gaze turning sharp.

Jiang Li hurriedly waved his hands. "Senior Sister trains me. Senior Sister trains me."

But he somehow felt there was something strange about those words.

Jiang Li did not immediately begin cultivating the Heaven-Stealing Divine Art. Mainly, he wanted to use Yun Fei to temper his combat experience.

If he cultivated the Heaven-Stealing Divine Art and his Blood Qi Value surged, he would have to hold back when attacking, which would only feel uncomfortable.

So, for the remaining days, Jiang Li and Yun Fei immersed themselves in sparring at the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall.

Bang!

Inside the Heavenly River Martial Arts Hall, Jiang Li and Yun Fei clashed continuously.

In this kind of head-on confrontation, Yun Fei was clearly no match for Jiang Li.

Yet Yun Fei's face was flushed red. Even so, she continued colliding with Jiang Li move for move.

Jiang Li's strength kept increasing, until Yun Fei could no longer bear it. She activated her Godspeed ability and vanished in an instant, reappearing behind Jiang Li.

She struck toward Jiang Li's back with her palm, but at that moment, a martial soul emerged behind him.

Yun Fei's palm landed on the martial soul without even stirring a ripple.

Martial Soul Protection, Blood Qi surging wildly!

Jiang Li spun around and threw a punch in return, but Yun Fei vanished again.

Using Godspeed, she darted and shifted constantly, trying to find an opening in Jiang Li's defenses.

Jiang Li was likewise searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

The two exchanged blow after blow, until Yun Fei struck Jiang Li's lower ribs with her palm. Little did she know that Jiang Li had allowed it on purpose. With the defensive power of Martial Soul Protection, that strike was neither painful nor itchy.

A martial soul arm emerged from beneath Jiang Li's ribs.

Yun Fei was greatly startled, but that martial soul hand firmly seized her arm.

She looked up and found that the Martial Soul Protection on Jiang Li's arms had vanished. In its place, he now seemed to have four arms.

Jiang Li suddenly smashed a fist toward Yun Fei's face. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free, and she immediately knew that she had lost again.

Whoosh!

The fist wind howled as Jiang Li's fist stopped in front of Yun Fei's face.

The martial soul ability dissipated, and Yun Fei gritted her teeth. "Four hands? Who could possibly beat you?"

It was bad enough that his defense was so formidable, but he could even manipulate the martial soul's arms to attack and defend. This ability was simply too absurd.

Most importantly, Yun Fei had tested it using Jiang Li's Black Horizontal Saber. Even a Seventh Grade martial artist wielding a sharp weapon would find it difficult to break through Jiang Li's martial soul defense.

At the same time, the martial soul's defensive power was tied to Jiang Li's Blood Qi Value. The stronger Jiang Li's Blood Qi, the stronger the martial soul's defense.

"Should I hold back a little?" Jiang Li asked.

"No need. You want to go easy on me?" Yun Fei wiped the sweat from her face. After a brief rest, she stood and beckoned to him. "Again!"

Only then did Jiang Li rise. Soon, their figures crossed once more within the training hall.

But this time, Yun Fei was somewhat faster. The power of her Godspeed had also improved over the past few days.

"No, faster!"

"Not enough, faster!"

At this moment, Yun Fei felt as though she had reached a certain limit.

In her eyes, Jiang Li was like a massive boss, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Whoosh!

Another punch came crashing toward her. Yun Fei sharply dodged aside, and the fist wind made her cheeks ache.

"Jiang Li, faster!"

Yun Fei suddenly shouted, catching Jiang Li off guard.

Then, Jiang Li seemed to sense something. His Blood Qi Value immediately rose again.

He swung both fists, attacking Yun Fei like a raging storm.

Yet every punch missed. Yun Fei was getting faster and faster, and so was Jiang Li.

Martial Soul Protection!

Jiang Li's Blood Qi Value amplification rose to four hundred percent. With this punch descending, the previous Yun Fei would absolutely have been unable to evade it.

But now, Yun Fei actually dodged it.

"Faster!"

Yun Fei shouted again.

"Alright!"

At that moment, Jiang Li's heart suddenly began pounding, blazing like fire.

Third layer of the Fire Spirit Breathing Technique!

He stepped forward fiercely and threw a punch at unprecedented speed.

Yun Fei could no longer dodge this punch. She could only raise both hands in front of herself to defend.

Bang!

Yun Fei's body flew backward before crashing onto the ground.

Jiang Li's expression changed. "Oh no, I used too much strength!"

With the third layer of the Fire Spirit Breathing Technique added to Martial Soul Protection, the force of that punch had already exceeded the limit of Seventh Grade by more than ten percent.

He hurried over to check on her, but before he could get close, Yun Fei abruptly opened her eyes. A vast, surging aura swept outward.

She sprang to her feet and struck Jiang Li's chest with her palm.

Jiang Li did not even have time to react to that speed.

Not only that, the force behind this palm was several times greater than before, sending Jiang Li back more than a dozen steps.

Once Jiang Li steadied himself, he clutched his chest and looked at Yun Fei. "Senior Sister, what was that?"

Although Yun Fei looked somewhat disheveled, she was glowing with excitement.

"I broke through!"

Feeling the thread of inner force that had condensed within her body, she cried out in delight.

"Jiang Li, I broke through!"

"I broke through to Sixth Grade! Martial Dao Master, Master Yun!"

"Hahaha!"

She was ecstatic. Grabbing Jiang Li by the shoulders, she shook him over and over.

Jiang Li's expression turned somewhat strange.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Yun Fei asked after her excitement subsided.

Then she noticed that Jiang Li's gaze was fixed below her neck.

Hm?

Yun Fei lowered her head to look, and her face instantly changed. She tightly clutched her collar.

"Does it look good?"

Only then did Jiang Li come back to his senses. He said quietly, "Senior Sister, have you heard a song?"

"What song?"

"Little sister says purple has such charm."

"You're dead!"

Jiang Li burst out laughing and dashed into the changing room in a flash.
