Someone Looked at His Back Again

Post-match recovery room.

Dong Jian had just sat down.

Li Man had already closed the door.

Ye Lingling stood at the back.

"Take your clothes down to your shoulders."

Dong Jian turned around.

"That serious?"

"Check first."

"I feel the numbness has subsided."

Li Man looked at him.

Dong Jian shut up.

Pull your shirt down to your shoulder blades.

The nine bone fragments are in places where they are usually concealed, and nothing is visible on the surface.

There is no black and gold pattern.

There are no protrusions.

There were also no edges on the armor plates after the Soul Bone unfolded.

Ye Lingling first pressed it all over with her fingers.

Does it hurt?

"It doesn't hurt."

"Here?"

"A little sour."

"Here?"

"Normal."

She then reduced the Soul Power even further.

Without treatment, the Soul Power only probes the surface.

The first place.

The second place.

The third place.

All the way up to the ninth place.

Li Man stood to the side without saying a word.

After Ye Lingling finished her examination, she went up from the lower back again.

This time.

She stopped at the sixth spot.

The residue is heavier than in the previous two matches.

Dong Jian asked, "Injury?"

"No."

What is that?

"Route."

Ye Lingling said, "During your sixth breath, all nine points should have received Soul Power together."

Dong Jian frowned.

"I held it in place."

"The bone fragment is compressed."

"The route wasn't completely blocked."

These are not the same thing.

The Dark Gold Spine Armor did not unfold.

This does not mean that the body's internal systems are not adapting to that support mechanism.

When the high voltage comes on.

My body is getting more and more used to the 9 o'clock shift.

Li Man asked, "How much can be seen from the outside?"

Ye Lingling thought for a moment.

"Ordinary Soul Master can't tell."

"It's also difficult at close range among peers."

"High-level Soul Master are keeping a close eye on it."

She paused for a moment.

"You might find it strange."

"Can you guess the External Soul Bone?"

"Just this once?"

Ye Lingling shook her head.

"Too far."

"There are many reasons for the abnormal Soul Power path on the back."

"Body tempering."

"Martial Soul Possession Structure."

"Aftereffects of a special Soul Skill."

"Soul Bone is just one possibility."

Li Man did not relax because of this.

She walked behind Dong Jian.

Look at those nine places where you can't see anything.

"Someone's watching today."

Dong Jian turned his head.

"Who?"

"Records' Seat."

"That's normal."

"Someone was watching this area the whole time during the last few rounds."

She didn't touch Dong Jian with her fingers.

It only paused briefly above the seventh point.

Dong Jian remained silent for two breaths.

How long should I watch?

"Every time you take on heavy pressure."

"Then it's not something you can just look at casually."

Ye Lingling withdrew her healing Soul Power.

Don't scare yourself unnecessarily.

Li Man nodded.

"I know."

She said she knew.

My gaze remained fixed on it.

Dong Jian pulled the clothes back.

"How about lowering the price of these nine roads even further?"

Ye Lingling immediately replied, "I don't recommend it."

"Why?"

Your body has adapted now.

"Forcibly prevent it from leaving."

"That means every time there's a high load, the Soul Power has to take a long detour."

Dong Jian asked, "Can we only bet during the match?"

"Can."

"Then you're more likely to get injured in matches than in training."

Ye Lingling looked at him.

"You choose."

Dong Jian is silent.

Li Man also said, "No pressure."

"You were the one watching the most closely just now."

"Staring doesn't mean you should ruin your body."

Li Man said, "Secrets are used to protect people."

"Not the other way around."

Dong Jian smiled.

"Even Teacher Qin would say that."

"So, are you going to listen or not?"

"Listen."

Ye Lingling finished writing the inspection record.

There are only two conclusions.

The probability of synchronous conduction at nine points increases under high pressure.

No immediate harm.

It is recommended to reduce the continuous use of the Sealed Spine plate under extreme loads.

There are no suggestions to "block the route".

afternoon.

Imperial Fighting Team went to the public viewing area to watch the other two matches.

Xue Qinghe was also there.

The crown prince's position wasn't close to the arena.

He has people from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and the Heaven Dou government around him.

Upon seeing Imperial Fighting Team approach, he first exchanged a few words with Yu Tianheng.

The question is about the overall performance in the game.

"Mysterious Edge must be tough to beat, right?"

Yu Tianheng said, "They're very troublesome."

"But we won."

"Both luck and preparation."

Xue Qinghe smiled.

"You're better at saying these kinds of things now than before."

Yu Tianheng did not answer.

Xue Qinghe then asked Dugu Yan if her body had been affected by the toxins.

Is the continuous treatment load sufficient for Ye Lingling?

Only then did he look at Dong Jian.

That last fight was quite taxing.

Dong Jian said, "It's alright."

"The Mountain-Suppressing Dragon Bamboo only took a little over six breaths."

This statement is quite natural.

Anyone who watches the game normally can count them.

Dong Jian nodded.

"Right."

Xue Qinghe did not ask why the demolition was being carried out so early.

They didn't ask about her back either.

He simply stated, "The further the finals go, the more the strong teams know where to focus their attention."

Don't let external records affect you.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

That concludes my remarks.

There are no suspicious issues.

Li Man stood next to Dong Jian.

As Xue Qinghe returned to the competition stage, she recalled her visit to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy long ago.

Dark Gold Earth Vein Bear.

Back bone fragments.

And that last glance back as I left, less than a breath later.

These two events happened too far apart, and the evidence is insufficient.

Li Man kept them separate in his notes.

Dong Jian noticed that she had been quiet for quite a while.

"What's wrong now?"

"Nothing."

"You never sound like it's nothing when you say that."

Li Man glanced at him.

The Crown Prince didn't ask.

"Um."

"The scorekeeper's area is being watched."

"Um."

Don't you think it's a coincidence?

Dong Jian looked towards the location of the Xue Qinghe in the distance.

Then look at the technical records area.

"Two groups of people."

"I know."

"And the Crown Prince didn't check my recitation today."

Li Man paused for a moment.

"I know."

Dong Jian said, "Then let's not connect them yet."

"No evidence."

Li Man nodded, putting the matter aside for the time being.

She hasn't forgotten.

During Dong Jian's review that evening, no identity was revealed regarding the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.

Mysterious Edge's match video was split into several parts.

The sixth breath, the moment of intense pressure, is highlighted in red.

"High-pressure conditions."

"Probability of synchronous transmission at nine o'clock: increasing."

"Bone fragment visualization: Not observed."

"External observation risk: cannot be quantified."

Dong Jian continued scrolling down.

Should we determine the observer's intention?

He didn't even choose.

Just turn it off.

No data available.

Asking won't help.

The next morning.

Qin Ming came in with the new signing form.

The nine people had just finished their recovery training.

The Shi Mo asked, "Who's next?"

Qin Ming placed the paper on the table.

Holy Radiance Academy.

The first image is flipped by the Yu Feng.

"The territory under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall?"

"Um."

Is it strong?

"More troublesome than Mysterious Edge."

Dong Jian has broken records in his last three games.

There are no tactics being used to delay integration.

on the contrary.

When Holy Radiance Academy encounters an opponent using powerful fusion or amplification.

The first reaction is always to press it down.

While we still have the ability.

Forced demolition.

Yu Feng noticed it too.

"They're not waiting for it to end?"

"Never wait."

Qin Ming said.

Mysterious Edge wants to separate the three lines.

"Holy Radiance is simpler."

"What are you doing?"

He just hits whatever.

"I'll beat you until you can't take it anymore."

Li Man looked at Dong Jian.

Dong Jian was also looking at that document.

If the other party truly maintained high pressure while Mountain-Suppressing Dragon Bamboo was present.

The first problem to appear was with the Sealed Spine version.

It's not about time.

It is a carrier.

Those nine increasingly natural lines along the back.

Each time, I want to look up more than the last.

Qin Ming did not immediately explain the tactics.

He simply said, "I'll rest today."

"Set the bottom line this afternoon."

Bottom line.

The word quieted the room.

In every previous match, they discussed how to hide.

This time.

Qin Ming started by asking questions.

If it really can't be hidden.

What is more important than a secret?

There were no sparring matches scheduled for the afternoon training session.

Dong Jian only performs the most basic sinking and Mountain Exchange.

Li Man sat beside him, taking notes while observing the flow of Soul Power behind him.

At the end of the third round, she suddenly said, "Stop."

Dong Jian ended his run.

"You saw it again?"

"No."

"Then what should we stop?"

"Just now, in order to prevent your back from rising, you put all your weight on your legs."

Dong Jian glanced down at his right leg.

It is indeed heavier than usual.

Li Man closed the notebook.

Don't secretly change it yourself.

"Just trying it out."

"Even if you try, you should still speak up."

Dong Jian remained silent for a moment.

"I don't want to force the spinal cord to surface just because of a single record."

Li Man looked at him.

I don't want to either.

"So what?"

Therefore, hide when you should.

She paused for a moment.

"Bear the force you need to bear in the way that is most comfortable for your body right now."

Don't distort your movements just to avoid being seen by others.

Dong Jian smiled.

"You're even more like a healer than Ye Lingling now."

I'm just afraid you'll turn something good into an injury again.

"Again?"

Li Man did not respond to that word.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the time with the Fourth Soul Ring, and the time when the Dark Gold Spine Armor first appeared.

Dong Jian knew exactly what she meant.

He stood up straight again.

This time, the route around the back was not deliberately avoided.

The Black Stance descended.

The power naturally sinks to the waist and legs.

The nine force points remained silent, unaffected by the high pressure.

Li Man finished reading before lowering her head to continue taking notes.

"That'll do."

You're such a busybody.

"Too much?"

"No."

Dong Jian took a step forward.

"Continue."

No new techniques were added to the Divine Dragon Secret Realm by the end of this training session.

Update only one risk record:

"Actively suppressing the natural load-bearing path reduces motion efficiency."

Recommendation: Avoid making long-term changes to fundamental strategies for the purpose of maintaining secrecy.

After reading it, Dong Jian confirmed it immediately.

Some secrets can be kept hidden by using less.

However, one should not deliberately practice incorrectly just because one is afraid of being seen by others.

The real issue to address is when to push the team to that point during the competition.

Let's record this matter here for now, without jumping to conclusions.
