Chapter 121: Are You Capable or Not, Little Dog?

Brother, I really have no strength left, just spare me!

Lu Leyi lay spread-eagled on the floor, her face full of utter hopelessness.

She didn't know what had gotten into Lu Jing, making her practice the movements from Basic Body Cultivation Study late at night.

Lu Jing, however, had no intention of letting her off.

Lu Jing took a stamina-replenishing Dan Medicine from his ring and handed it over, saying, "You're exhausted after just a few repetitions—aren't you embarrassed to admit it?"

Lu Leyi reached out, took the Dan Medicine, swallowed it, and said irritably, "Hey, big brother, I'm just a middle school student—what can I do? My Blood Qi is already pretty good, okay?"

"That's good enough?" Lu Jing snorted coldly, "As my sister, is that all you demand of yourself?"

Lu Leyi, mocked by Lu Jing like that, was momentarily at a loss, her eyes reddening.

"Brother, I've really tried my best, but talent is what it is—my Blood Qi just grows so slowly!"

Having said that, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears: "You're a genius, I'm not—I know I'm holding you back, but I don't want to either; I really have tried my best!"

Sigh......

Lu Jing watched Lu Leyi sitting on the floor crying, and his heart softened.

"Leyi, stop crying; from now on, you must listen carefully to every word I say."

Having said that, he pulled her up from the floor.

"What?"

Lu Leyi blinked slightly, then looked up to see Lu Jing's serious, stern expression.

"Your brother has organized his insights on tempering Blood Qi and will now teach you part of it."

"Your insights?"

Lu Leyi's tearful face vanished instantly, replaced by an eager expression.

"Yes, it can help you increase your strength."

Lu Jing said lightly, pondering which movement to teach.

"Great, brother—if I learn this, will I also become a genius?"

Lu Leyi jumped up excitedly, already imagining herself becoming a genius like Lu Jing, with a crowd of little fangirls following her wherever she went.

Lu Jing looked at her hopeful expression and deliberately said, "You think I got here just by talent? It's not only talent—there's also effort!"

Lu Leyi pursed her lips; she wasn't entirely convinced by what Lu Jing said.

The two had lived together since childhood; aside from Lu Haitao and Feng Qinru, she knew Lu Jing best.

Lu Jing's talent before was basically nonexistent, or you could say it was very poor.

But in just a few days, his Blood Qi suddenly shot up.

Gradually he became a well-known genius throughout the city.

Although Lu Leyi was also happy for her brother, she had always been doubtful.

What exactly did Lu Jing encounter to become like this?

Did he eat an immortal pill? Or did he pick up some old geezer?

Lu Leyi couldn't figure it out—she, who originally had better talent than Lu Jing, had now become the one holding him back.

Everyone says Lu Jing has extraordinary talent, that his genius has awakened.

Lu Leyi always felt that Lu Jing was hiding something in his heart......

Just as she was lost in thought, Lu Jing's voice sounded from beside her: "I told you to listen carefully—are you spacing out here?"

The next second, she got a smack on the head.

"Ow, ow, ow!"

She covered her head and cried out.

"Watch this next movement carefully—it's an optimized version of the movement from Basic Body Cultivation Study, with much higher efficiency!"

Seeing Lu Leyi regain her composure, Lu Jing assumed the first movement of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

His body twisted into a strange posture, with Blood Qi surging throughout his entire body.

Lu Leyi's eyes widened instantly, staring at Lu Jing without blinking.

Not only did this mysterious movement captivate her, but the substantial wave of Blood Qi erupting from Lu Jing's body also did!

So Lu Jing had become this strong?

"Do you understand? Show me one."

Lu Jing withdrew the movement and asked Lu Leyi.

"This movement is so difficult......"

Lu Leyi frowned, twisted her body, and struggled to mimic Lu Jing's posture just moments before.

And as she moved, her body kept making a "crack-crack" sound.

"Your foot position is wrong—shift it a bit this way!"

"And your hands—raise them a bit higher!"

Lu Jing stepped forward to correct her movement.

Lu Leyi obediently corrected it promptly.

She could feel that the movement Lu Jing was teaching her was extremely beneficial!

This should truly be the movement he optimized from Basic Body Cultivation Study.

Could it be that my brother suddenly became a genius because his mind opened up? He can even optimize martial arts teaching materials!

As Lu Jing tirelessly corrected her, Lu Leyi's movements gradually became standard.

And Lu Leyi's expression grew even more astonished, for she could already feel the stirring of Blood Qi within her body!

"This movement, so powerful!"

Eventually, Lu Leyi finally managed to perform the action perfectly.

Lu Jing released his hand supporting her, stepped aside, and watched the excited Lu Leyi, his mind filled with myriad thoughts.

He also didn't know whether doing this was right or wrong.

Although the action wasn't complete, its effect was not something ordinary Basic Body Cultivation Study could compare to.

Performing this action once could match a full day's practice of Basic Body Cultivation Study!

From today on, this secret was no longer known only by him; there was also Lu Leyi.

A few more minutes passed.

Lu Leyi's stamina was completely drained, and she swayed as she fell.

However, Lu Leyi's expression showed no fatigue at all, only excitement.

"Brother, I've mastered it!"

Lu Leyi sat cross-legged on the ground, excitedly saying, "The effect of this action is too great, huh? I just did it a little while and already felt the bottleneck of my Blood Qi loosen!"

"Of course."

Lu Jing nodded lightly and said, "This is the crystallization of my brother's blood and sweat!"

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Lu Leyi regained some stamina, stood up, went to Lu Jing's side, and with a playful smile said, "Brother, why don't you make this action public? You might even win an award or something!"

Lu Jing's heart jolted, his expression turned grave, and he said, "Leyi, the important part comes next—you must absolutely not tell anyone about this action, not even your parents!"

"Why?"

Lu Jing sighed, his tone very heavy, "You don't need to know why; you just need to know that if this set of actions is leaked, our whole family will die!"

"What?!"

Lu Leyi covered her mouth, her face shocked.

"Brother, I understand—if others learn this action, they'll surely want to silence us and take it for themselves!"

After her surprise, Lu Leyi quickly reacted, "Brother, rest assured, I will definitely keep the secret!"

Lu Jing nodded in relief.
