Chapter 367: Are You Jealous Again?

In the dense, thick jungle, a young girl's figure was darting through at high speed.

The girl, who had been sprinting along the ground, quickly leapt up onto a tree branch.

With that light, graceful posture, she merely bent the branch slightly beneath her foot, and her body had already sprung upward in a single bound.

In just three seconds, the girl had already climbed to the high point of the tree, and at a single glance she could see the area stretching out ahead.

"Amazing — it's as if it's already been carved into my body."

"This is the Blessing."

A flash of fire lit up on the branch beside the girl; the flames scorched the branch, yet another person had also appeared.

"The Blessing I can grant others is only fine at the lower Sequence. Once the Sequence of the Blessing I grant is too high, many aspects of you will start tilting toward me."

"Tilting… what do you mean by that?"

"Simply put, you'll grow more and more like me, and will gradually become my vassal. To put it bluntly — a puppet."

"Oh."

Mao Li Lan was startled inwardly; she hadn't expected the price of obtaining Ren Ren's power to be quite that steep.

But she asked, a little troubled.

"Then if you take the power back, does that count as me having trained or not?"

Yu Gong Lian gave a slight smile; he had thought about this aspect as well.

"Don't worry about that. Right now you're using the knowledge you've gained to familiarize your body with it. Once your body gradually becomes familiar with this knowledge, I'll withdraw the power of the Blessing."

"But I'll preserve the muscle memory 783 in your body."

"Your focus right now is how to master this excessively strengthened power — in short, technique."

"Although I won't make it so you can match your current level all at once, after some training you'll be able to return to your present standard."

This was also the method he could think of to help Xiao Lan master her power.

The method was a bit troublesome and complicated, but the advantage was no need to worry about side effects.

The Blessing system is far more reliable than the potion system in this regard, especially for low-Sequence Blessings — the side effects aren't that severe.

"Xiao Lan, test your strength."

"Mm."

Mao Li Lan leapt straight down from the branch; her light figure dropped from the branch dozens of meters high to the ground almost instantly, and her landing made no extra sound.

Pushing one's own weight and technique to the limit, one can easily ascend and descend dozens of meters in the air.

Upon landing, Mao Li Lan turned and drove a piercing thrust straight into the big tree behind her — one that seven or eight people could wrap their arms around.

"!"

A sound like tearing rang out through the surrounding thicket.

Mao Li Lan's seemingly slender hand had indeed easily pierced through the tree's hard outer shell, and even the tougher heartwood within had been punched through.

"Huff—"

Mao Li Lan took a deep breath, quickly withdrew her hand, made a fist, and slammed it back into the hole.

"Boom!"

The thick trunk shattered clean through, as if a certain equivalent of TNT had been stuffed inside.

The broken tree toppled to the side with a tremendous crash.

"Mm, both strength and technique are decent."

Amid a burst of firelight, Yu Gong Lian came down below, placing one hand on the shattered trunk; from the broken section one could imagine just how terrifying Xiao Lan's strength truly was.

"Seventy percent of your strength?"

"Only forty percent."

Mao Li Lan's face flushed slightly as she corrected him.

Hiss!

Although Xiao Lan's strength had already led Yu Gong Lian to overestimate her, the fact that such destruction came from only forty percent of her power was indeed a little terrifying.

By Yu Gong Lian's estimate, that strike just now could almost easily pierce straight through a person's body — being able to kill someone with a single punch was no joke.

Even though the Warrior pathway grants some enhancement in strength, the boost at a low Sequence is still limited.

Given Xiao Lan's physical condition, even setting aside the strength added by the Warrior pathway, she could still easily kill someone with one punch.

In terms of sheer strength alone, a normal person could already no longer be compared with Xiao Lan.

However, there was one thing worth being happy about.

"You can quantify your own strength now — do you already know where your limit lies?"
