"Enter the instance!"
Wang Ji had long since figured out how instance mode worked. He could enter with his whole body or send in his consciousness. Here, he chose to enter with his consciousness.
"Ding! Entering instance: Training Ground
Main Quest: None"
Huh, this instance was special. It had no main quest.
Wang Ji studied the instance carefully. Its space was a much larger training ground, over a hundred meters long and wide, with a more complete range of training equipment.
Wang Ji walked over to the area for testing punch strength. Suddenly, a figure began to coalesce in the middle of the area, quickly taking solid form. Wang Ji jumped in surprise.
The man wore a training uniform and had a slightly vacant look in his eyes. "I'm your instructor for force training. From now on, I'll train you to generate force."
Wang Ji spoke with the instructor. Although the man's eyes looked a little vacant and he wasn't real, he was highly intelligent and perfectly capable of carrying on a conversation. He was also extremely professional.
While training here, Wang Ji never felt tired, and his mind remained alert and focused the whole time.
Unlimited energy, boosted by a focused state—this was practically a god-tier training ground!
Wang Ji was soon completely absorbed in it.
Time passed in the instance, too, but at a different rate from the outside world. In the Monster Town instance, ten minutes inside was only one minute outside.
This place was probably about the same.
After who knew how long, Wang Ji felt his body outside growing weak, so he left the instance.
"Huh! A whole day has passed outside!" One day outside meant ten full days inside, without sleep or rest! Wang Ji casually threw a punch. "Bang!"
"2,980 kg!" As expected, once his force generation was up to standard, increasing his punch strength by ten or twenty percent was easy!
Wang Ji enjoyed a hearty meal at the Pavilion, let his family know he was safe, then headed back to Yangzhou City. It was time to move.
As for which Warrior Residential Area to choose? Was there even a choice? Of course it was Mingyue Residential Area! Only a fool would choose somewhere else. This place would become the center of the universe one day, after all. Ha ha!
Being neighbors with City Lord Luo had its advantages. There was no need to grovel or suck up to him; they were all adults, and that could easily make someone wary and suspicious. But being neighbors and building a good relationship was certainly worthwhile. Besides, Jiang Nian was a mutual guide between them, so getting along should be easy.
Half a day later, at Mingyue Residential Area.
"This is our home?" Wang Ji's mother asked, her voice trembling.
"That's right! It's our home now!" Wang Ji reassured her warmly.
Mingyue Residential Area, Building 212, stood in the row behind the legendary Building 199. The small gate to Building 212's back garden faced the front entrance of Building 199. Inside the villa was a spacious hall, an elegant tea room, a kitchen, and a multipurpose room.
The first floor alone covered two hundred square meters. The three-story villa had a total area of 540 square meters. In either of his lives, Wang Ji had never lived in such a luxurious house. "Transmigrating isn't so bad after all," he murmured.
He helped his sister and mother arrange their rooms and buy household necessities. At last, their new home bore the marks of their family. Wang Ji stayed home for two days before setting off for Jiangnan Base City.
"Xiao Ji, when will you be back?" his mother asked.
Wang Ji smiled. "In a few days! I'll be training at the Limit Martial Hall's main branch. There's no danger."
Extreme Pavilion, eighth floor.
"Enter the instance!"
As soon as he entered the instance, Wang Ji became completely absorbed in training. Each day, he stayed inside until his body outside was too hungry to bear it. Then he came out to eat and sleep before returning to training.
A day in here meant a full day without sleep or rest, with his focus unbroken. It was more effective than ten days of training outside!
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
"Bang!" "3,608 kg!"
Wang Ji hadn't practiced Origin Energy at all during these days, yet his punch strength had increased by a full 800 kg! Anyone who saw his force generation now would have to call it beautiful!
The explosive power, the sense of coordination as his whole body moved as one—it was a pleasure to watch!
Wang Ji checked his status panel. "Instance Space: Training Ground. Force Training: Basic Force Generation—Qualified!"
"Next, footwork training!" Wang Ji was fired up.
For footwork training, Plum Blossom Stakes and Bagua Footwork were ancient martial arts that had existed even before the Great Nirvana. They were still the most basic manuals today. This kind of manual could be found in public information, without even having to pay for it.
Of course, free didn't mean bad. For building a solid foundation in footwork, these were as good as it got.
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed.
Apart from checking in with his family whenever he left the instance, Wang Ji hadn't been home for almost two months.
That day, Wang Ji finally emerged from the instance.
"Finally... I finally finished!"
Basic Force Generation: Qualified!
Basic Footwork: Qualified!
Basic Saber Technique: Qualified!
In the training room outside, Wang Ji dodged and swung his saber with effortless fluidity. His footwork flowed smoothly as he advanced and retreated, every movement perfectly controlled. His saber technique was chillingly precise, leaving no opening untouched.
At times, Wang Ji even felt that his footwork had reached the subtle level. Halfway there? Perhaps if he kept working at it, he might truly master subtle-level footwork.
"Time to go home!" Wang Ji sighed. Although the instance gave him boundless energy, after two months he still felt exhausted deep in his soul. He touched his hair; it had grown down to his neck.
"Home!" Wang Ji went to a high-end mall to tidy up his appearance, bought a comfortable tracksuit, and then took a car home.
"Xiao Ji!" The door opened, and his sister Wang Yan cried out in delight.
Wang Ji's mother hurried out of the house, too. "Xiao Ji! You... you're finally back!"
Wang Ji apologized. "I lost track of time while training. I really was careless!"
"It's all right! It's all right! You're home, and that's what matters! Training is important! I heard from the neighbors that being a warrior is dangerous, so it's good to train more. Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime!" his mother said.
The family happily ate a meal together. Then they happily went shopping at the mall, returning home late that night. It had been so long since they'd all spent time together like this. It was wonderful!
Late that night, when the house was quiet, Wang Ji finally sat down in the training room.
Wang Ji Age: 17 Punch Strength: 3,610 kg Speed: 39 m/s Neural Response: Advanced Warrior—Excellent Training Ground instance cleared! Reward: An Qin's footwork insights!
Wang Ji was curious. An Qin? Who was An Qin? It sounded like a person's name. Wang Ji searched online but couldn't find any information about someone named An Qin.
Wang Ji focused his thoughts and touched the insights. Whoosh!
Countless thoughts and insights surged into his mind. After a while, they slowly came together, forming something like a cloud that floated in his brain. These were An Qin's footwork insights.
With a thought, Wang Ji could feel those thoughts and insights again. When he stopped thinking about them, they no longer affected him. Pretty good!
