When the fist moves correctly, clear qi rises; when it moves wrongly, turbid qi won’t descend, blocking the Governor Vessel…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since surpassing the Great Completion stage of Tiger Form Fist, Lin Qi could now feel the form flowing smoothly, his entire musculature vigorously activated by the movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each technique had become instinctive—sometimes like a tiger descending the mountain, sometimes like an enraged tiger bursting from the forest, sometimes like a starving tiger seizing a lamb…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body emitted sharp, crisp sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi felt his whole body burn with tingling heat; the blood-boosting capsule’s essence rapidly transformed into blood qi, rising from the lower dantian up his arms to his elbows, then driving to his fingertips, saturating the sinews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too hot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi kept punching, one round after another, his mastery of the form continuously improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood qi was fiercely forging his muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood qi was surging upward rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Training in progress: “Tiger Form Fist” proficiency greatly increased, Fist Skill +2%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Tiger Form Fist breakthrough: Your blood qi has surged, Blood Qi +0.1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Blood Qi: 6.9 → 7.0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fist Skill: First Stage 98% → Second Stage 1%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao watched Lin Qi’s figure and, in a daze, seemed to see Lin Qi transform into a mighty tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, the figure grew larger, its tiger eyes sharpening until it opened a bloodied maw and roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao shook his head and looked again—nothing remained; the whole scene had been an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qi, did you just break through to Second Stage in your fist skill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao asked in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi finished his stance, sweat pouring down his body like rain, steam rising from his skin; he nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I broke through!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? I only just broke through to Second Stage a while ago—your fist skill is nearly catching up to mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi shook his head: “My fist skill is close, but my blood qi and weapon skills are still far behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood qi had just reached 7.0, while Jiang Tao had already surpassed 8.0 in his last minor test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao sighed: “Brother Qi, your progress lately is getting insane—I’m under serious pressure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No good—I’ve got to train harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he threw himself fully into training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi clenched his fists—breaking through from First to Second Stage had changed his bodily control entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Stage is foundational; Second Stage is mastery, requiring full activation of large muscle groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took down a training spear from the wall and began practicing spear techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~ Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear in his hand whipped through the air, spinning and thrusting like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear pierced the air, tearing through it with a continuous whistling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that Tiger Form Fist has broken through to Second Stage, my bodily control has improved dramatically—practicing the ‘Mountain-Crushing Spear Art’ has become much easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi felt joy inside; as soon as he willed it, his muscles fired in seamless sequence, as if some barrier had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like oil added to a machine, everything ran smoother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~ Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear technique grew even more fluid, like flowing clouds and running water; his footwork also became more agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Your bodily control has improved: “Mountain-Crushing Spear Art” proficiency greatly increased, Spear Skill +2%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Your bodily control has improved: Footwork proficiency greatly increased, Footwork +2%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Spear Skill: First Stage 82% → 84%】【Footwork: First Stage 73% → 75%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Lin Qi stopped, his gaze fixed on the panel, a faint smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The teacher was right—the higher your fist skill stage, the stronger your control over your muscles, which aids weapon skill development.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His joy faded quickly as intense fatigue washed over him; Lin Qi sat down, grabbing a towel to wipe away sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms were exhausted, muscles aching, fatigue clinging to every part of his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulugulu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed a bottle of energy drink and drank it down in large gulps, emptying it in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi breathed deeply, recovering his strength, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Training time is still too short.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since entering senior year, Lin Qi felt more than ever that he never had enough time to train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to train longer, but his body couldn’t endure it—once fatigued, efficiency plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the muscle soreness, which never fully disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealthy families had recovery pods to relax the body, ease muscle tension, and even scheduled masseurs to unblock meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like him had no such luxury—only self-relaxation or fascia knives to soothe muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the panel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Name: Lin Qi】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Template: Erlang True Person · Yang Jian】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fusion Rate: 4.9%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So close—if fusion rate breaks 5%, during my body’s transformation of sinew, bone, skin, and flesh, I’ll also gain relaxation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi always relied on increasing fusion rate to relieve bodily fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was that no ability like stomach enhancement had appeared—each fusion rate increase only raised his innate constitution and comprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if reaching 5% will bring some change?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had better stamina and recovery, my martial path would advance faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Qi thought this, a flash of sharp light seemed to dart through his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 11 PM,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi returned home to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly slipped into his bedroom and slid a white wooden panel against the door from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a soundproofing panel he’d bought, effective at blocking noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mother Fang Huiyi suffered from neurasthenia and couldn’t tolerate loud sounds; he’d bought several for her room and kept one for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t cheap—1,000 per panel—but he thought it worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, he’d cure his mother’s illness and move the whole family into a grand villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put down his backpack, stretched his tired body, and began standing in the stance, stepping into the footprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He adjusted his breathing and swiftly entered the state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head upright, eyes straight, breath calm and even, body aligned, shoulders relaxed, elbows horizontal, armpits hollow, elbows bent in a circle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, his body began trembling involuntarily;
