Chapter 30: Task Completed

This time, it was Ning Feiliu who couldn't dodge in time, as a force so powerful that he couldn't possibly resist it came crashing down.

He only had time to block with his arms in front of his chest before he was knocked directly to the ground.

But the moment he hit the ground, he focused his soul power in his waist and erupted, performing a carp kip-up.

In his past life, he had diligently practiced quick get-up moves like the carp kip-up and the dragon-coiling pillar, but none were as smooth as this one.

After all, this world possesses a supernatural energy called soul power, which is equivalent to the internal energy in the martial arts novels of his past life; with the support of "internal energy," his movements were naturally fast and smooth.

Ning Feiliu circled his fists again, unleashing a Horse Form Double Hand Cannon Punch from Xingyi Quan!

Although modern martial arts schools are still divided by sects, in reality, when people spar, they have long since adopted the essence of each sect; Ning Feiliu had also learned some particularly famous moves that fit the fierce and powerful nature of Eight Extremities Fist.

It wasn't just him who fought like this; when he used to spar with friends who practiced Choy Li Fut, those guys would hit him with a Half-Step Crushing Punch—would you believe it?

Some friends who practiced Mi Zong Quan would even use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to put you in a hold.

So in the modern era, although sects are still divided, everyone has actually started learning from each other and integrating their knowledge.

The main idea is to fight however is most effective.

"Ugh—"

This rapid counterattack of his was clearly something Dugu Yan hadn't expected; she was hit directly by the double cannon punch and sent flying backward.

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan; she took the hit head-on, then kicked her right foot back!

The floor tile beneath her feet shattered instantly, and she charged straight at Ning Feiliu.

Only then did Dugu Yan breathe a sigh of relief; she had been genuinely afraid that Ning Feiliu would get back up and continue fighting her.

This time, Ning Feiliu did not get back up to continue the contest with Dugu Yan.

But she would have to get serious later, after all, if she really lost...

But Dugu Yan's soul power level was higher than Ning Feiliu's after all.

Originally, she hadn't gone all out, considering that Ning Feiliu was an Auxiliary System Soul Master and his soul power level was a full major rank lower than hers.

At the very least, Dugu Yan had never seen a fighting style like Ning Feiliu's; every punch and elbow had a sense of method to it, not to mention that quick and beautiful get-up move.

Dugu Yan looked at the somewhat miserable-looking Ning Feiliu before her and gave a delicate snort, "You're only at the Spirit Master level, isn't it normal that you can't beat me?"

Since Ning Feiliu had been in contact with her for this period, they had come to know each other's soul power levels.

After all, Tang San not only had a top-tier martial soul given by his parents but also the cultivation technique, Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Dugu Yan was 13, nearly 14 years old; compared to the talent and "cheats" of 12-year-old Soul Elders like Tang San and Xiao Wu, she was far behind, currently only at the level of twenty-nine soul power.

It was mainly because his skills were truly not weak, and they carried a hint of something strange.

"I still can't beat you, Sister Yan." He chuckled, conceding to the Dugu Yan before him.

So she had indeed gotten a bit more serious just now.

Wouldn't it be very embarrassing for her otherwise?

However... if Ning Feiliu were a Battle Soul Master of the same soul power level as her, she might really have been defeated.

Her right palm, carrying thick soul power, slapped directly onto Ning Feiliu's shoulder.

This time, Ning Feiliu felt not only a powerful force coming from his shoulder but also waves of intense pain!

He was instantly sent flying backward, finally crashing into the wall of the laboratory behind him; the wall emitted a deafening sound, and only then did he stop.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in human form, and her talent was also top-tier.

But Dugu Yan's level was definitely that of a genius among her peers.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have entered the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy later and become a member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's first team.

Therefore, with Dugu Yan's soul power being so much higher than Ning Feiliu's, she should have easily subdued Ning Feiliu, a level fourteen Auxiliary System Soul Master.

Yet she had suffered two setbacks, so naturally, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Ning Feiliu chuckled, "That's right, so I never thought about beating Sister Yan; I just wanted to let Sister Yan know that I have some ability to protect myself."

Dugu Yan nodded upon hearing this.

"You guy, you're clearly a Support Spirit Master, you should just be protected by others." But she still couldn't help but complain, saying, "But you're actually quite formidable when you fight; it's really baffling..."

"However, as an Auxiliary System Soul Master, it is... understandable that you have some self-preservation ability."

"I just don't want to be satisfied with only being a Support Spirit Master." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said with a smile, "Sister Yan, one day I will uprightly compete with you using my martial soul!"

Dugu Yan thought he was joking when she heard this, but she saw the serious look in Ning Feiliu's eyes.

She realized instantly... Ning Feiliu was serious.

"Alright then." Dugu Yan changed her tone and said softly, "I'll wait for that day."

But she didn't take these words seriously herself; she just... didn't want to mock Ning Feiliu.

Because Ning Feiliu was her first good friend in this Heaven Dou City, and also someone who held no prejudice against her.

She remembered the words Ning Feiliu had said to her back then—

"If you treat someone as a demon from the start, then they will truly become a demon in the end."

Such a kind person... she didn't want to mock him.

She only wanted to protect him, protect his safety, protect his kind heart, and protect... everything about him.

"It will be soon." Ning Feiliu said with determination and confidence in his smile, "That day will come very soon."

……

In the following days, Ning Feiliu continued to conduct experiments while cultivating and working on the grind of helping people with their illnesses.

Although the Moonlight Breathing Method hadn't yet allowed him to directly increase his soul power by a level, the enhancement to his body and spirit was already particularly obvious.

Ning Feiliu felt his spirit becoming increasingly full, and at the same time, his originally thin body gradually began to show muscle definition.

This visible growth made him full of confidence.

At the same time, in terms of medical skills, he had finished reading the medical books Dugu Yan gave him; triggering the task allowed him to engrave the contents of these medical books into his mind after completing it.

In terms of practice, because he was seeing more and more patients, his practical experience was also becoming increasingly rich.

And as time passed, the completion progress of those two tasks became higher and higher.

Finally...

【Obtain heartfelt gratitude from others; after collecting one hundred times, you can obtain the Wandering God's harvest—Life's Kindness: when in contact with intelligent beings, intimacy increases by ten percent, and the probability of epiphany increases by one percent.】

First, he received the loyal gratitude of the patients and their families; this task was completed first, and the small task text that appeared before his eyes shattered once more, transforming into a peculiar blessing that was bestowed upon Ning Feiliu.
