Perhaps, in the future, obtaining potential points won't be as easy as it is now...
Should he allocate the points to Strength? Lin Xiao looked at the potential points on the panel with a complicated expression.
If he increased his Strength to 10, he would have the same physique as Wu Yong.
Combined with his slightly higher Agility attribute compared to Wu Yong, Lin Xiao's chances of winning should be quite high.
But the question was, should he really waste precious potential points on Wu Yong?
After all, now that his illness was cured and his Constitution had increased, it wouldn't be difficult for him to improve his Strength.
Whether it was through muscle training or Wei Neng refinement, his body could become much stronger.
Lin Xiao shook his head and let out a soft sigh.
Before the free sparring in the afternoon, there were still boxing and footwork classes, as well as an hour of Wei Neng refinement after daily training.
The first two of his skills were on the verge of leveling up, and he should be able to gain two more attribute points then. There was no need to make a decision in a hurry.
Free sparring was a practical training session held after the formal classes ended each day, with students facing off against each other in one-on-one combat.
Of course, if you were strong enough, you could also take on multiple opponents at once.
No lethal force was allowed, nor could you cause permanent disabilities, but other normal injuries were within the permissible range.
Although Lin Xiao was used to being looked down upon, he really didn't want to lose this time...
Lin Xiao closed his eyes and began to perform Wei Neng refinement.
The Wei Neng refinement method taught by the school was a combination of qigong, meditation, and some ancient texts obtained by various countries while exploring secret realms.
Taking the essence of these practices, it had been refined through numerous practical tests and summaries.
Lin Xiao could feel the invisible power in the air being guided by his mental energy, enveloping his body.
Every cell in his body was like parched earth, greedily absorbing the surrounding energy.
[Wei Neng Refinement Method (Incomplete) - Lv1: Proficiency +1]
[Wei Neng Refinement Method (Incomplete) - Lv1: Proficiency +1]
...
One minute... 5 minutes... 10 minutes...
Hmm...!?
Lin Xiao opened his eyes, his pupils trembling.
The effect of the one point he had added to Constitution in the morning was far better than he had expected. Not only was his body's energy absorption speed twice as fast as before, but the amount of Wei Neng his cells could absorb had also increased significantly.
If the Wei Neng Lin Xiao channeled was like a vat of water, then before, his body was like a person using a straw, unable to continue after less than 5 minutes.
Now, his body was like a pipe connected to a water hose, still not satisfied after 10 minutes of drawing in energy.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xiao allocated the remaining two potential points to Constitution.
Boom——!
When his Constitution reached 10 points, it felt as if all the pores in his body had opened up.
For the first time, Lin Xiao felt his body to be so light and transparent, with the power within him accumulating and filling up at an unimaginable speed.
Not good!
The Wei Neng surrounding his body began to thin out, a situation he had never encountered before.
Lin Xiao exerted himself to the fullest, running the technique with all his might. The energy dispersed in the atmosphere swirled towards him like a dragon drinking water.
And the cells within his body accepted everything, like insatiable gluttons, swallowing all the Wei Neng one after another.
The speed at which his body absorbed energy was almost equal to the speed at which Lin Xiao refined it!
[Strength: 8 >>> 9 !]
[Wei Neng Refinement Method (Incomplete) - Lv1: Proficiency +3]
[Wei Neng Refinement Method (Incomplete) - Lv1: Proficiency +2]
...
Lin Xiao's spirit was both excited and tense, to the point where he didn't even pay attention to the information popping up on the panel.
For the first time! He was refining Wei Neng so exhilaratingly.
Before, basically after he ran the technique once, the surrounding energy was so abundant that he couldn't absorb it all and had to wait until his body completely digested the Wei Neng before continuing to absorb more.
It was nothing like now, with every cell in his body crying out for more, devouring all the energy and quickly digesting it into nourishment for his growth.
Lin Xiao gave up his lunch break and completely immersed himself in the pleasure of this power increase.
Luo Tao, lying on the bed, looked at the window, then at the gently swaying curtains, and some question marks appeared on his head.
There was no wind... why were the curtains moving?
...
A woman with a high ponytail, a tall and slender figure, and a physique as sleek as a leopard's,静静地看着 (quietly watched) the sky not far away.
She was wearing a dark blue jacket, under which was a black fitted vest, and below that were loose work pants and tactical boots.
On her beautiful face, a thin scar extended from the corner of her eye to her chin, and coupled with her sharp gaze like that of a tiger or leopard, it gave her a unique beauty.
"Hello! Are you Teacher Wang Lan? My name is Lin Lei, and I'm the guide who came to pick you up."
A man in a shirt and trousers, wearing black-rimmed glasses, jogged over and greeted her respectfully.
The woman nodded, her voice having a husky quality.
"Call me Lan Bao."
Lin Lei's face showed a look of realization — he had heard that in the Hunter Association, they addressed each other by nicknames.
"Are those the dormitories for the third-year students?"
Lan Bao pointed to the spot she had been staring at, below which were two student dormitory buildings.
"Yes... is there something wrong?"
"The top student, Zhuang Jianyu, and the second-ranked Ling Xue, do they also live over there?"
"No, no, no, those are the dormitories for Class C and Class D. Zhuang Jianyu is in Class A, and Ling Xue is a student in Class B."
Lan Bao's eyes widened slightly, her cold and indifferent gaze momentarily replaced by surprise.
Then she bared her teeth, revealing a smile like that of a hunter seeing her prey.
"Teacher Lan Bao?"
"This time... there might be an unexpected gain."
Lin Lei tilted his head, puzzled, and adjusted his glasses.
...
It seemed that the news of his confrontation with Wu Yong had spread, as Lin Xiao could feel the strange looks from his classmates and the hushed whispers.
"Is Lin Xiao crazy? Doesn't he know Wu Yong has been annoyed with him for a while?"
"He'll regret it when he gets beaten into the infirmary..."
And from Wu Zhixing's side came a clear sneer.
"Good job, Wu Yong, make sure to teach that bottom-feeder a lesson."
"Don't worry, I'll give him a good schooling."
"Silence——! Continue practicing!"
The boxing teacher, Zhao Gang, dressed in a white training uniform, let out a loud roar that silenced the noisy classroom.
But Lin Xiao didn't pay any attention to their words at all; he just focused on the punching bag, earnestly throwing every punch and kick.
The teacher had told them that military martial arts drew on the strengths of various styles, including traditional martial arts, boxing, Muay Thai, taekwondo... and so on.
The key techniques had been taught in the first two years, and now it was all about deepening and continuous practice.
The goal of the boxing class was simple: to ensure that every punch and kick from the students could exert the proper force and to learn how to generate power!
Although everyone carried weapons when fighting against beasts, you couldn't become useless once you lost your weapon.
Having a strong physique but delivering fancy but ineffective moves was useless.
Moreover, the techniques for generating power were often universal!
Lin Xiao stepped forward with his left foot half a step, the power flowing from his waist to his back, then from his back to his shoulder, and finally from his shoulder to his fist.
Bang——!
The punching bag's body instantly caved in, and the force-measuring screen above displayed a red number: 667.4kg.
The punching bags in the boxing classroom were specially made, with force gauges inside to help students correct their power application issues in a timely manner.
However, Lin Xiao actually didn't need this; there was a more suitable device for him to correct his form.
Bang——!
[Boxing - Lv0: Experience +2]
[Boxing - Lv0: Experience +4]
...
When he executed an attack with correct power generation, the experience gained was relatively higher. Lin Xiao used the system to correct his mistakes during practice.
Bang——!
[Boxing - Lv0: Experience +5]
[Boxing - Lv0 >>> Boxing - Lv1! Potential Points +1]
"Phew..."
Feeling the special comprehension of his body after the skill upgrade, Lin Xiao adjusted his state and took a deep breath.
He swung this punch at the punching bag.
Bang——!
[Boxing - Lv1: Experience +1]
The force gauge read — 746.8kg.
Lin Xiao's Strength hadn't reached 10 points yet, but his punch force was already almost on par with Wu Yong's...
