Once, I wanted to be a good person

Alongside the appearance of the snow-white, red-eyed rabbit, Fang Ze silently muttered, "Usury, borrow the Xida Body Refining Method's Muscle Tempering Perfection!"

With Fang Ze's borrowing,

A repayment list immediately appeared before him.

There were a lot of miscellaneous items, and if calculated in money, the total value was almost at 100,000 Lini.

Keep in mind, a one-time fusion-grade Martial Skill only required a fee of 10,000 Lini!

Yet, the price for elevating Tendon Tempering was actually ten times that of a fusion-grade Martial Skill!

This was still because Fang Ze's own realm had already been reached, and it was only for the sake of patching up the leaks!

Otherwise, it's estimated to be even higher!

No wonder Fang Ze, when he first acquired his abilities, after asking once, felt the sting and gave up on it!

But now... Fang Ze had money, he could go ahead and enhance himself without hesitation!

After all, a one-time explosive Martial Skill could at most be considered a card up one's sleeve, but a permanent increase in strength was truly one's own!

Thinking this, Fang Ze didn't hesitate to confirm his choice!

And as Fang Ze confirmed, he only felt a wave of white light enveloping himself, then his muscles spontaneously began to pulsate. They seemed to absorb a great amount of Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Marvels, quickly undergoing changes.

Soon, Fang Ze felt an overwhelming sense of comfort throughout his body.

His muscles, previously aching or always lacking exercise, seemed to have been worked out thoroughly.

His entire musculature seemed to have converged into a single entity!

And the three major tendons that had been developed on his body seemed to have been reborn, stronger than ever!

Although it was just an insignificant completion, Fang Ze felt his foundation was more solidly established!

Because he was already at the Tendon Tempering stage, this was merely supplementing it. Furthermore, Fang Ze kept practicing actively, and thus many of the students on site, though stealing glances at Fang Ze, didn't notice anything unusual about him.

They only felt that for a moment, the muscle contours of Officer Fang Ze seemed more perfect, more streamlined.

But on closer inspection, it seemed no different than before....

....

And at this moment, having taught the Muscle Tempering techniques of the Xida Body Refining Method, Qing Ya did not continue to explain the Tendon Tempering method.

Most of these reservist students had only just begun to accept the world of the Awakeners, having just come into contact with Martial Arts. Understanding too much too soon, trying to bite off more than they could chew, would not be beneficial.

What they needed was to solidify their foundation.

So, Qing Ya started walking around the training field after her explanation, guiding the students in their movements.

Among them were many older students who had come for Fang Ze's class. They were obviously very familiar with Qing Ya.

But Qing Ya did not relax her demands on them. Instead, after requiring them to demonstrate their Body Tempering Method, she urged them to continue their cultivation.

Thus, she walked, observed, and finally, Qing Ya came to Fang Ze.

At this time, Fang Ze was still practicing: even though he had already completed the Muscle Tempering stage with the help of "Usury," extra practice wouldn't hurt and would only make his foundation stronger.

Qing Ya watched him for a while and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

She stepped forward, gestured for Fang Ze to stop, and then, without regard for gender norms, began to explore the muscles on his body.

Fang Ze, tickled by her touch, really wanted to say: Don't do this! Teacher! There are too many people!

After a while, Qing Ya stood up straight and then signaled Fang Ze to perform a few movements.

Fang Ze did a few Muscle Tempering exercises as she instructed.

Qing Ya continued to feel certain muscles on Fang Ze.

After confirming she wasn't mistaken and that Fang Ze truly had his entire muscular system trained to the peak, completing the Muscle Tempering stage of the Xida Body Refining Method, she stopped her hands.

At this point, their peculiar behavior had attracted the attention of many students.

Fang Ze's feat of mastering the Sealing Thunder Fist in one hour had spread far and wide over the past two days.

Consequently, many students, while cultivating their bodies, also kept an eye on Fang Ze and Qing Ya.

They wanted to see if Fang Ze had created another miracle.

Possibly sensing their gazes, Qing Ya didn't say much. She simply looked at Fang Ze deeply and then whispered, "Come see me tonight."

As soon as she spoke, perhaps realizing the ambiguity in her words,

Her face reddened slightly, and she added softly, "In my office."

Fang Ze: ...

Even more thrilling!

Qing Ya had no idea what Fang Ze was imagining. After she spoke, she pretended as if nothing had happened, stepped back a few paces, and smiled at Fang Ze, "You're doing well, student Fang Ze. You're very talented, keep it up."

Having said that, she turned and left Fang Ze's side, continuing to inspect the next student's progress.

Perhaps because Qing Ya did not exhibit too much out of the ordinary, and although her praise for Fang Ze was better than most, it wasn't to an unbelievable extent. So, the many students, somewhat disgruntled, withdrew their gazes and continued their own cultivation.

And as they trained, they pondered to themselves: That's right, the Sealing Thunder Fist is a Martial Skill. If one is talented and it happens to fit with the style of the Fist, one could indeed learn it in a short period.

But the Body Tempering Method is about genuinely exercising the muscles of the body, truly strengthening oneself. It requires real hard work.

No matter how talented Officer Fang Ze is, he couldn't possibly refine his body and break through as easily as he did with the Sealing Thunder Fist.
