"Enter Instance!"

Wang Ji had long since figured out the modes for entering an instance. He could enter with his entire body, or just his consciousness. Naturally, Wang Ji chose to enter with his consciousness.

"Ding! Entering Instance: Training Ground. Main Quest: None."

Huh, this instance is quite unique. There is no main quest.

Wang Ji examined the instance carefully. The space was a massive training ground, over 100 meters in length and width, equipped with an even more comprehensive array of training apparatus.

As Wang Ji walked into the area for testing punch force, a human figure suddenly coalesced in the center of the field before rapidly solidifying. Wang Ji was startled.

The man was dressed in a training uniform, his eyes slightly dull as he spoke, "I am the instructor for force-exertion training. From now on, I will be training your force-exertion."

Wang Ji communicated with the instructor. Although the man's eyes were a bit vacant and he wasn't a real person, his intelligence was high, and communication was completely seamless. Furthermore, he was truly professional.

Training here, Wang Ji felt no fatigue at all, and his mind remained in a state of fullness and focus.

With the addition of infinite energy and a focused state, this was simply a god-tier training ground!

Wang Ji was soon completely immersed.

Time also passed within the instance space, though the flow of time differed from the outside world. In the previous Monster Town instance, 10 minutes inside equated to only 1 minute outside.

It was likely similar here.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Wang Ji felt a sense of weakness in his physical body outside, he exited the space.

"Whoa! It's been a whole day outside!" One day outside meant ten full days of sleepless, tireless training inside! Wang Ji threw a casual punch. "Boom!"

"2980kg!" As expected, with proper force-exertion, increasing his punch force by ten or twenty percent was easy!

Wang Ji enjoyed a delicious meal at the Extreme Pavilion, checked in with his family to let them know he was safe, and then headed back to Yangzhou City. It was time to move.

As for the choice of residential area for martial artists? Did he even need to choose? Of course, it had to be Bright Moon Residential Area! Only a fool would choose anywhere else. This place would become the center of the universe in the future, haha.

Being a neighbor to City Lord Luo had its perks. There was no need for groveling or sycophancy; they were both adults, and such behavior would easily arouse suspicion and wariness. But being a neighbor and maintaining a good relationship was necessary. Besides, with Jiang Nian as a mutual guide, it should be easy to get along.

Half a day later, Bright Moon Residential Area.

"Is this our home?" Wang Ji's mother asked, her voice trembling.

Wang Ji comforted her gently, "Yes! This is our home!"

Bright Moon Residential Area, Building 212, located in the row behind the legendary Building 199. The back garden gate of Building 212 faced the front door of Building 199. Entering the villa, one found a spacious hall, an exquisite tea room, a kitchen, and a multi-purpose room.

The first floor alone was 200 square meters. A three-story, 540-square-meter villa. In both his past and present life, Wang Ji had never lived in such a luxurious house. "Transmigration isn't so bad after all!" Wang Ji muttered to himself.

After helping his sister and mother decorate the rooms and buying daily necessities, this new home finally bore their mark. After staying home for two days, Wang Ji set off for Jiangnan Base City.

"Xiao Ji, when will you be back?" Wang Ji's mother asked.

Wang Ji laughed, "I'll be back in a few days! I'm just training at the main Extreme Pavilion! There's no danger."

Extreme Pavilion, 8th floor.

"Enter Instance!"

Once he entered the instance, Wang Ji became completely immersed. Every day, he would only exit to eat and sleep when his physical body outside could no longer bear the hunger. Then, he would continue his training.

One day here was a day of tireless, perpetually focused training—far more effective than 10 days of training in the outside world!

In the blink of an eye, 10 days passed.

"Boom!" "3608kg!"

Over these days, Wang Ji hadn't practiced his genetic energy at all, yet his punch force had increased by a full 800kg! Now, anyone who saw Wang Ji's force-exertion would call it beautiful!

That explosive sense of power, that coordination where his entire body moved as one—it was a sight to behold!

Wang Ji checked his attribute panel: "Instance Space: Training Ground. Force-Exertion Training: Basic Force-Exertion Qualified!"

"Next step, footwork training!" Wang Ji was filled with high spirits.

In footwork training, the Plum Blossom Stakes and Bagua Footwork were ancient martial arts that existed before the Great Nirvana, and they remained the most fundamental techniques today. Such techniques could be found in public records and didn't even require payment.

Of course, free didn't mean bad; as foundational footwork training, these were the best there were.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed.

Aside from checking in every time he exited the instance, Wang Ji hadn't been home for nearly two months.

On this day, Wang Ji finally emerged from the instance.

"Finally... finally finished!"

Basic Force-Exertion: Qualified!

Basic Footwork: Qualified!

Basic Blade Technique: Qualified!

In the reality of this training room, Wang Ji dodged and swung his blade at will. His movements were fluid and natural, his footwork advanced and retreated with ease, reaching a pinnacle of perfection. His blade technique was equally pervasive, finding every opening.

At times, Wang Ji could even sense the control of the In-depth level of footwork. Half-step In-depth? Perhaps with a little more effort, his footwork might truly reach the In-depth level.

"Time to head back!" Wang Ji sighed. Although his energy was infinite within the dungeon space, after these two months, he still felt a fatigue that reached deep into his soul. Wang Ji touched his hair; it had already grown down to his neck.

"Going home!" Wang Ji groomed himself at a luxurious shopping mall, bought a comfortable set of sportswear, and then took a car home.

"Xiao Ji!" The door opened, and his sister, Wang Yan, shouted in surprise.

Wang Ji's mother also hurried out from the house, "Xiao Ji! You... you're finally back!"

Wang Ji said apologetically, "I lost track of time while training; it really was my oversight!"

"It's fine! It's fine! As long as you're back! Training is important! I heard from the neighbors that being a martial artist is quite dangerous, so training more is for the best! Sweat more in peacetime, and you'll bleed less in wartime!" his mother said.

The family ate a happy meal together. They then happily went out to the mall, returning home only late at night. It had been a long time since the family had been like this. It was wonderful!

Deep in the quiet of the night, Wang Ji finally sat down in the home training room.

Wang Ji Age: 17 Fist Strength: 3610kg Speed: 39m/s Neural Reaction: Advanced Warrior (Excellent) Training Ground dungeon 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 he couldn't find any information about a person named An Qin.

Wang Ji focused his mind and touched An Qin's insights. Whoosh!

Countless thoughts and realizations surged into Wang Ji's mind. After a long while, these thoughts and insights slowly converged, forming a cloud-like shape that floated within his consciousness. This was An Qin's footwork insight.

Whenever Wang Ji felt the urge, he could re-experience these thoughts and insights. When he didn't think about them, they wouldn't affect him at all. This was quite good!
