Chapter 157: Everyone's Strength Increased

The girls all nodded, their eyes showing determination and excitement, then each picked up a Bodhi Fruit and began eating.

Li Qingxuan walked to the side of the sofa with his thirty Bodhi Fruits, sat cross-legged, and began eating the fruits in his hand.

As each Bodhi Fruit entered his mouth, the rich and powerful energy quickly spread throughout his body; he could clearly feel his Spirit constantly condensing and increasing, and his perception of surrounding power became sharper and clearer.

Each surge of energy seemed to be injecting new vitality and possibility into his body and soul.

He closed his eyes and focused, wholeheartedly guiding this energy to circulate and merge within his body, allowing his body and Spirit to gradually adapt and absorb this powerful force.

In this process, he seemed to have entered a brand‑new world, a world full of power and mystery, and he could feel his connection to this world becoming tighter and deeper.

After a while, when the energy of the last Bodhi Fruit was fully absorbed, he slowly opened his eyes, which flashed with a brighter and more resolute light.

He felt that his strength had significantly increased; both his Spiritual Power and his control over power had reached a new height.

He stood up, moved his body a little, feeling the surging power within, his heart filled with confidence and anticipation.

He knew that with the help of these Bodhi Fruits, their strength would be greatly enhanced, and the road ahead would become broader and brighter.

At this moment, the girls also finished eating their Bodhi Fruits, their faces glowing with satisfaction and joy.

They could feel that their bodies and Spirits had undergone obvious changes, and their strength had increased considerably.

Li Qingxuan looked at the girls, smiling, and said, "How do you all feel? Has your strength increased considerably?"

The girls all nodded, and Wang Hongmei laughed, saying, "Junior Brother Qingxuan, the effect of this Bodhi Fruit is truly great; I feel my strength has increased by a lot."

Chen Xiulan also agreed, saying, "Yes, I feel it too; now my control over power is much more adept."

Li Qingxuan nodded satisfactorily and said, "Good, everyone's strength has increased; how about we go outside for a combat drill?"

Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes flashed with excitement, they all nodded in agreement. Li Qingxuan then said, "Then let's go to the open ground outside the fortress; it's spacious there, allowing everyone to fully exert their newly gained abilities."

The group quickly arrived at the open ground outside the fortress; the surroundings were open, with no obstructions, the ground was flat and paved with stone slabs, making it a good place for combat.

Li Qingxuan looked around and said to the girls, "First, each of you familiarize yourselves with your enhanced power; later we'll split into groups for sparring, to learn from each other and thus grasp your strength more quickly."

The girls responded, each scattering about, beginning to move their bodies and feel the surging power within.

Wang Hongmei took the lead; she lightly leapt and actually jumped over two meters high, flipped in mid‑air, and landed steadily, her face full of delight: "After this Spirit Enhancement, I feel my bodily control is much stronger; my body feels much lighter, and my movements are more agile."

Chen Xiulan not to be outdone, she channeled power, condensing a faint halo in her hand, then thrust it forward; the halo surged forward like a wave, leaving a shallow trace on the ground: "Look, my control over power is now more precise, and the power of this attack has increased considerably."

Younger sister Li Qingge closed her eyes, feeling the warm and powerful energy within her body; then she opened her eyes, quickly formed seals with both hands, murmured words, and a soft light emanated from her hands, enveloping a surrounding area: "I feel my healing ability has also grown stronger; in the future I can better tend to everyone's wounds."

Li Qingxuan looked at the girls' excited and confident demeanor, feeling greatly relieved, and said, "You've all adapted quickly; let's begin the group sparring, so we can better coordinate and improve through real combat."

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately gathered, their eyes flashing with anticipation and fighting spirit. Li Qingxuan thought for a moment and said, "We'll split into two groups: Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan in one, Qingge and Xinxin in the other; I'll act as referee to ensure everyone's safety while also observing their performance and giving guidance."

The girls all expressed agreement, quickly took their positions, and assumed combat stances.

With Li Qingxuan's command, the sparring officially began.

Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan cooperated seamlessly, one handling close‑combat attacks, the other providing long‑range support; their figures moved swiftly across the open ground, their attacks unceasing.

Meanwhile, Li Qingge and Li Xinxin relied on their newly awakened professional abilities—one casting healing arts to restore teammates, the other engaging in close combat—making the scene intensely fierce for a moment.

Li Qingxuan stood to the side, carefully observing each person's movements and use of power, occasionally offering guidance and suggestions.

He discovered that after their strength increased, the girls not only saw significant enhancements in attack and defense, but also gained greater adeptness at controlling power, enabling them to flexibly employ various techniques according to the situation.

As time passed, the sparring gradually entered a heated stage.

Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan, relying on their rich combat experience, gradually gained the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Li Qingge and Li Xinxin, depending on their newly awakened professional abilities and stubborn fighting spirit, gritted their teeth and persisted, refusing to admit defeat easily.

Finally, after a fierce clash, Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan, thanks to a splendid coordinated attack, succeeded in defeating their opponents and won the sparring match.

The girls all gathered around, congratulating and encouraging each other, their faces glowing with satisfaction and joy.

Li Qingxuan looked at the girls' excited and confident demeanor, his heart filled with relief and anticipation.

He stepped forward, patted the girls on the shoulders, and said, "Everyone performed excellently today; through this sparring I can see that your grasp of the enhanced strength is improving. However, this is still far from enough; we may face stronger enemies and more complex challenges in the future, so none of you can afford the slightest letup."

Wang Hongmei wiped the sweat from her forehead, laughed, and said, "Junior Brother Qingxuan, don't worry; we will continue to strive to improve ourselves, and we won't hold everyone back."

Chen Xiulan also nodded and said, "Yes, this sparring revealed many of our shortcomings; next we will make improvements targeting those deficiencies."

Li Qingge and Li Xinxin also expressed their determination to train harder and not let everyone's expectations down.

Li Qingxuan nodded satisfactorily and said, "Good, with such determination and attitude, I believe you will all become stronger in the future. Next, let's together summarize the experience from this sparring and see where else we can improve."

Thus, everyone gathered in a circle, began to seriously analyze the gains and losses of this sparring, exchanging insights and experiences, the atmosphere lively and harmonious.
