Painful Shock

Qin Ran's daily practice of the [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art] had yet to produce a decisive breakthrough. But that only made Gonglansen's teachings stand out more clearly in his mind.

"Every step forward is something you need to feel carefully!"

"That feeling will become the key to your next step!"

Qin Ran took the old knight's teachings to heart.

And he put them into practice.

He felt the warm current seep into his muscles and bones, then soak into his organs.

Instinctively, he moved through the forms of the [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art], his breathing falling into its rhythm.

At once, the current grew warmer.

It flowed through Qin Ran's body in time with his movements and breathing.

It went on for a long while.

When it finally stopped, Qin Ran clenched his fist and used his own senses to examine what had changed.

Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Perception have all improved!

Spirit is harder to gauge, but the system's attributes show that it's increased too!

And...

Qin Ran went through the movements and breathing of the [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art] again. Immediately, wisps of warmth rose from throughout his body, leaving him feeling more alert.

Does it have some hidden power to speed up recovery?

Qin Ran could not be sure.

But one thing was easy to confirm.

He opened the upgrade options for the [Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art] and checked the details.

[Through practice, Master-level Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art has gained sufficient experience, reducing the required cost by 2,000 Points...]

[Upgrading Dawn Knight Body-Tempering Art (Master → Expert) requires 28,000 Points and 4 Gold Skill Points. Pay? Yes/No]

The cost dropped by 2,000 Points?!

Just as Gonglansen said, every upgrade is an opportunity!

Qin Ran sighed. He desperately wished he could receive more instruction from Gonglansen.
