In the following period, Fang Li no longer stayed constantly in the Stars Room. Instead, under Fan Xinglou’s guidance, he embarked on a rigorous training regimen.
“Although you are adept at Assassination Techniques, your physical strength is not as outstanding. Your power delivery lacks perfection, and your movements aren’t fluid enough. It’s clear that you haven’t been taught these aspects. Your combat techniques seem to be self-taught. If you can improve in this regard, your Assassination Techniques can reach a whole new level.”
To achieve this, Fan Xinglou prepared two Immortal Tools for Fang Li. Just like before, they were Giants.
However, this time, Fan Xinglou prohibited Fang Li from using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. He could only employ his own techniques to deal with these two Immortal Tools.
After the battles, Fang Li realized that these two Immortal Tools couldn’t be defeated through conventional means. The only way to strike them was by using specific powers, and this power’s effectiveness changed over time.
This meant that Fang Li had to continuously observe the Giants’ movements, control his force during the fight, and adjust his power dynamically while avoiding their attacks. His physical application and movement fluidity improved step by step during this process.
This constituted Fang Li’s morning training.
“Your natural talent in martial arts is quite ordinary, and you lack the necessary talents for Seisenjutsu. So, I won’t teach you martial arts or Seisenjutsu. Instead, you should focus on your strengths and continue honing your Assassination Techniques. This is your unique talent, and abandoning it would be foolish.”
To assist in this, Fan Xinglou gave Fang Li a Scroll. Inside, it contained a multitude of combat techniques aimed at causing harm and various essential aspects of Assassination Techniques.
This wasn’t unusual. While people today uphold human rights and discourage learning techniques intended to harm others, it doesn’t mean such techniques don’t exist.
Organizations like the Integrated Enterprise Foundation covertly cultivate combat groups responsible for the dark and dirty work. These individuals focus on practical combat techniques.
Moreover, in previous eras, the purpose of martial arts wasn’t always so pure.
Therefore, as a Monster Immortal who had lived for thousands of years, Fan Xinglou was also well-versed in various combat techniques designed to cause harm. She had no shortage of teachings in this area.
Fang Li’s training during lunchtime involved studying and practicing the content within the Scroll, addressing his knowledge gaps.
“Of course, training alone is not enough. If you truly want to become stronger, you must engage in real combat. Based on your situation, I will arrange opponents for you. Don’t hold back, and don’t hesitate to eliminate your target.”
For this purpose, Fan Xinglou sent Fang Li to one of the rooms at the Yellow Dragon Temple almost daily. This room, akin to another dimension, transported Fang Li to different places each time, where he encountered formidable opponents and engaged in life-and-death battles.
These opponents included terrifying exotic beasts residing deep in the mountains, vicious criminals imprisoned in unknown locations, active terrorists on battlefields, and powerful Immortal Tools slumbering within the Yellow Dragon Temple.
Fang Li found himself teetering on the brink of life and death almost every day, and one wrong move could result in his demise.
Furthermore, this training was intended for improvement, not just winning against the opponent. Fan Xinglou still strictly forbade Fang Li from using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, placing tremendous combat pressure on him.
However, Fang Li understood that it was precisely this pressure that would force him to gain experience and enhance his skills during real combat. He fully committed himself to this training, which impressed even Fan Xinglou with its unyielding intensity.
This constituted Fang Li’s afternoon training.
“Normally, during practice, physical conditioning is essential. Besides technique, physical abilities need to improve. However, your constitution seems extremely unique, it’s not something that can be enhanced through regular exercise. In that case, focus on refining your Prana and improving its application.”
For this purpose, the Stars Room became Fang Li’s personal space. He brought his own bed into it and lived there. According to Fan Xinglou’s teachings, he adjusted his breathing while sleeping, enabling his body to unconsciously remember the rhythm of breathing even during slumber.
According to Fan Xinglou, this practice had similar effects to meditation and sitting in contemplation. It made the flow of Prana within the body smoother and more flexible, somewhat akin to Eastern inner cultivation techniques.
However, it was undoubtedly more challenging than Fang Li’s incredible Innate Skill for killing techniques due to his unique nature. Fortunately, Fang Li and Fan Xinglou hailed from the same country, and in his previous life, he had some exposure to these concepts.
Coupled with the assistance of the Stars Room, Fang Li could constantly adjust the flow of Prana and, consequently, his breathing, which yielded significant progress.
In this manner, Fang Li’s days at Jie Long Seventh Institute were filled with rigorous self-sufficient training, starting from chopping wood, fetching water, and cooking meals, all at the request of Fan Xinglou.
This training continued for a full month.
…
Yellow Dragon Temple, Genbu Hall.
There was a vast and dimly lit room here and numerous stone pillars stood erect within the room.
The ceiling of the room was exceptionally high. The floor appeared to have been trodden upon countless times, making it remarkably sturdy.
The innermost part of the room remained shrouded in darkness, with only the lights attached to the stone pillars illuminating a small section.
This was one of Fan Xinglou’s favorite training rooms.
Within this room, two figures were engaged in a fierce battle.
One was Fang Li.
The other was Zhao Hufeng.
At this moment, two Speed-Type Genestellars were engaged in a battle, their movements resembling the interplay of the Northern Lights, causing afterimages to flicker throughout the room.
“Break!”
Under Zhao Hufeng’s loud shout, he surged forward like the wind, launching a fierce assault against Fang Li.
Fist strikes, kicking techniques, elbow strikes, palm strikes.
Zhao Hufeng displayed nearly all of his Martial Arts skills to their peak, unleashing a storm of attacks against Fang Li. Each strike carried enough power to make the air tremble.
Facing this relentless onslaught, Fang Li remained calm, advancing instead of retreating. He used offense as defense, skillfully parrying Zhao Hufeng’s attacks one by one.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
For a moment, the room echoed with the sounds of their intense clashes.
Fang Li and Zhao Hufeng maintained their high-speed, continuous strikes and lightning-fast movements. Each collision of their attacks sent shockwaves rippling through the air, kicking up dust.
Beside them, Fan Xinglou watched silently, her innocent smile never leaving her face.
