One Entry, One Life

"Have you memorized it all?"

Looking down at the respectful youth before him, a trace of surprise appeared on Feng Yue's face!

And he wasn't the only one!

Among the surrounding youths, everyone stared at Ye Li in shock!

Tang Jian, who had claimed to have memorized seventy percent, was especially incredulous!

After all, in his mind, since both of them possessed the [Quick-Witted] trait, he had naturally paid extra attention to Ye Li, harboring a competitive spirit from the start!

Both of them possessed the [Quick-Witted] trait, which granted +30% comprehension.

If Ye Li had memorized more than him, wouldn't that indirectly prove his own stupidity!

Matching traits wasn't scary; whoever was dumber was the one who felt embarrassed!

For a moment, Tang Jian's expression shifted repeatedly. He wanted to voice his doubts but ultimately held his tongue, choosing instead to watch Ye Li's performance in silence just like the others.

"Show me a set!"

Feng Yue, also somewhat skeptical, spoke up.

Without a word of nonsense, Ye Li lifted his chin slightly, his confidence bolstered by the cheat he possessed.

He strode out from the crowd and assumed a stance, mimicking the posture Feng Yue had displayed earlier.

Having been a streamer in his past life, he was long accustomed to being watched, cyberbullied, cursed at, doxxed, mocked, and ridiculed...

So, being stared at intently by these dozens of people, his expression remained calm as he focused on his task.

Every subtle posture from Feng Yue's demonstration, every variation in the depth of his breathing, and every instance of muscle tension and relaxation flickered clearly in Ye Li's mind.

"Hiss~~~"

A clear, long, and drawn-out intake of breath broke the silence of the training ground.

In an instant!

His body moved.

Accompanied by the inhalation, Ye Li's body began to shift, mimicking the posture of Feng Yue from his memory!

His frame stretched like a towering pine, curled like a dormant dragon, and twisted like a nimble serpent!

Simultaneously, each posture corresponded precisely to a specific, shallow or deep, breathing pattern.

The scene fell into dead silence.

All the youths widened their eyes, mouths agape, staring at the slender figure in the center.

The 81 breathing patterns paired with 81 postures—a sequence so complex that just looking at it made one dizzy—had he really replicated it without a single error?

Is this... really something that can be memorized and executed after seeing it only once?

"I've struck gold!"

Feng Yue stared blankly at Ye Li's movements, his eyes filled with awe!

Not a single error!

Although the movements were stiff and awkward, like a parrot mimicking human speech, they were clumsy.

But damn, he learned it so accurately!

He saw it clearly; Ye Li had never come into contact with Azure Dragon Force before. This was absolutely his first time seeing it!

Because Ye Li's Azure Dragon Force was completely inherited from his own style, even mimicking the personal habits he had developed during his own training that differed from the original technique.

Clearly, since the novice youth couldn't distinguish between personal quirks and the original technique, he had absorbed everything indiscriminately!

As the focal point of the crowd, Ye Li's experience was different from that of the onlookers!

As the Azure Dragon Force circulated, he could feel a strange rhythm within his body.

With the changes in breathing and posture, it felt as if countless tiny living creatures were crawling, bulging, and contracting beneath his skin, hidden by his thin, coarse hemp garment!

Clearly, just as Feng Yue had said.

The operation of this Azure Dragon Force was mobilizing all 500 muscles in his body for simultaneous tempering.

In daily life, about 200 muscles are involved in simple walking.

During strenuous exercise, the number of mobilized muscles can reach over 400.

And the effectiveness of this Azure Dragon Force training was far more efficient than any exercise method Ye Li had known in his past life!

Only halfway through the movements, Ye Li could already feel the soreness of his muscles being fully engaged, his clothes soaked through with sweat!

Compared to the physical changes, the shift in his consciousness left him even more astonished!

Because as the Azure Dragon Force circulated, relevant knowledge bypassed his conscious thought and surged directly into his brain!

It was as if a teacher were inside his head, constantly guiding him on where his current posture was wrong and how to correct it—it was absurd!

"Too tilted here, too much force there, breathing a bit too fast..."

Improper movements lead to a gap in training efficiency, and over time, they could even form hidden injuries within the body, damaging his foundation and capping his potential!

Feeling the heavy weight of knowledge in his mind, Ye Li was moved to tears!

If he had possessed this ability back when he was a student in his past life, would he have really needed to dodge the elite universities just to end up as a social drifter?

He mimicked the moves one by one, following the knowledge imprinted in his mind.

After a cup of tea's time, Ye Li was drenched in sweat as he finished his practice!

"You have practiced Azure Dragon Force once with focus, Insight +1."

"Azure Dragon Force (2/100)"

Aside from the soreness throughout his body, he felt none of the agonizing cardiovascular strain typical of aerobic exercise; his breathing was merely slightly rapid.

Clearly, the accompanying breathing technique was acting upon his entire respiratory system in an orderly pattern!

"Good, good, good!"

Feng Yue stared at Ye Li, his fan-like hands clapping incessantly, his eyes filled with appreciation.

To be able to perform the moves perfectly after watching them only once—even with the help of a trait—was far beyond the reach of an ordinary person.

If his martial arts aptitude was above average, such comprehension would mean he would rarely encounter bottlenecks in his early cultivation, and he could become a core member of the Azure Dragon Gang within a few years of training.

Turning his head, Feng Yue looked at Tang Jian indifferently: "How much have you memorized?"

"I... I have memorized it all too!" Tang Jian felt somewhat dejected; it had taken him two viewings to fully commit it to memory.

Feng Yue instructed:

"Very well. From here on, you are responsible for teaching the others. Teach each other, and ensure everyone has learned it within two days! I will drop by occasionally to provide guidance."

"Do not think that just because you have joined the gang, you can slack off. There will be an examination every month. If your results are too poor, you won't even last half a year!"

"The top performer each month will be rewarded with a Body Tempering Pill by the gang!"

Afterward, Feng Yue looked at Ye Li: "Some of your movements just now were incorrect. I will give you some individual instruction!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent once again.

This blatant act of favoritism drew gazes of envy and jealousy from the youths present.

Tang Jian, in particular, felt his mentality crumbling.

Ye Li understood the situation, replied in the affirmative, and followed in Feng Yue's footsteps as he turned to leave, all under the complex gazes of the crowd!

In the evening, the two suns of varying sizes in the sky slowly descended.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed everything in a shimmering orange light.

Having finished his first day in the gang, Ye Li felt as though his body were filled with lead.

Yet, he had to keep his focus, maintaining the breathing technique of the Azure Dragon Force just as Feng Yue had taught him to alleviate his muscle soreness.

Weighing the three taels of silver tucked into his pocket, Ye Li headed home, feeling satisfied.

After signing the indentured contract to join the gang, he was tied to the Azure Dragon Gang for life, regardless of whether he became an official disciple, and he would naturally receive a monthly stipend.

For an individual, these three taels of silver were more than enough to cover his normal monthly expenses.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get!!!"

"One trait, one life!!!" X100

On the way home, uniform shouts came from behind him.

Ye Li turned back and saw countless youths rushing in this direction, chanting slogans!

Watching their figures, Ye Li felt an inexplicable sense of nausea!
