Shen Ye whistled.

    Although he was itching to ride it, riding it out now would be too showy.

    He would wait until there was no one around at night to cruise the streets.

    He put away the Ghost Fire Motorcycle and the biochemical clone, and then called Qian Rushan.

    “Sorry, the user you dialed is currently switched off.”

    Old Qian’s phone was off?

    Hmm…

    He seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough recently.

    Forget it, he wouldn’t disturb him.

    He checked the time.

    It was already nine in the evening.

    Shen Ye found a female attendant on duty and asked if there was a training room.

    “Ah, of course there is, please follow me.”

    The attendant led him to the 79th floor.

    The entire floor was dedicated to training rooms, with facilities no different from the venue in Yunshan Port.

    —And they also provided various chilled beverages.

    “Thank you.”

    “You’re welcome, Shen Ye, you’re always welcome back to the corporation. The corporation is your second home,” the attendant said with a sweet smile and left.

    Tsk.

    This is great.

    Shen Ye closed the training room door, took off his jacket, and began to warm up.

    Among the four Frost Moon Quake Heaven skills, Lightning Palm had already reached the first stage of the Dharma Realm.

    Although Star Shadow relied on the power of the Night Hidden Sword, it was actually almost ready to break through.

    Because of the blessing of the Night Hidden Sword—

    Shen Ye was already very familiar with the techniques of Star Shadow’s first stage.

    At this point, he no longer relied on the Night Hidden Sword and practiced by himself for about half an hour.

    —Star Shadow’s first stage was completed.

    Only Flowing Moon and Frostbite remained.

    There was no other way for these two, he could only practice hard.

    Then let’s practice!

    Shen Ye took a stance, about to start practicing with all his might, when his phone suddenly rang urgently.

    Before he could pick up the phone, an electronic voice had already sounded:

    “All individuals with level five authority and above, please note.”

    “This is Kunlun.”

    “An emergency situation will now be announced:”

    “A planet named ‘Human Face’ is approaching us!”

    “Based on its speed, it is estimated that by noon tomorrow, it will appear in the sky and be visible to the naked eye.”

    “This sighting event is unavoidable.”

    “Repeat, this sighting event is unavoidable!”

    “Whether an impact will occur is still undetermined. Individuals who have received an invitation, please prepare immediately. An emergency meeting is about to be convened!”

    Kunlun’s voice disappeared.

    The phone screen went dark.

    Shen Ye tilted his head, thought for a moment, then took a stance and began to practice the Flowing Moon movement technique and the Frostbite kicking technique.

    —He couldn’t worry about those things.

    He might as well seize the time to improve his strength!

    Time slowly passed.

    He worked up a sweat, took a short break, and grabbed a bottle of water to drink.

    “Hey, won’t you be a bit slow practicing this way?”

    The Great Skeleton suddenly spoke.

    “What do you mean?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Just in time, I also ate the Qu Ru, and my strength has completely recovered, even improved. How about I be your sparring partner?” the Great Skeleton said.

    “So enthusiastic?” Shen Ye was surprised.

    “Nonsense, the stronger you are, the greater our chances of surviving, and the higher the probability of successfully reaching the Cannon Forging Castle.”

    “That’s true.”

    Bang.

    The Great Skeleton leaped out of the ring, its size rapidly shrinking, transforming into a skeleton roughly the same height as Shen Ye.

    The skeleton took a stance, beckoned to Shen Ye with a finger, and arrogantly said:

    “I’ll only use basic hand-to-hand combat methods for sparring. Feel free to attack.”

    Shen Ye took a step, a flowing shadow radiating from him, and笑道: “Thanks a lot then. I’ll try to master these skills quickly.”

    “Less talk, come on.” the skeleton said.

    A foot suddenly enlarged before its eyes.

    —The sneakers infused with freezing cold were about to kick its face!

    “Ha!”

    The skeleton let out a strange cry, and its skeletal hands blocked Shen Ye’s foot.

    Just as it was about to counterattack, it found that Shen Ye had already used its force to withdraw his foot, spun around, and kicked again.

    —Still Frostbite!

    The skeleton had no choice but to continue parrying.

    This can’t go on!

    A long bone tail suddenly extended from its back, and taking advantage of a gap in Shen Ye’s attack, it fiercely swept towards him.

    Boom——

    Lightning Palm collided with the bone tail.

    Both of them staggered back a few steps and regained their balance.

    “Your moves are all tricky and powerful. It seems I must be careful.”

    The Great Skeleton said seriously.

    Shen Ye’s interest was piqued, and he said, “Again?”

    “Good!”

    The two fought together again.

    The skeleton indeed only used basic hand-to-hand combat, fully training him in fighting.

    Time gradually passed.

    A few minutes later.

    “Stop!” Shen Ye said.

    “What’s wrong? I’m genuinely trying my best.” The Great Skeleton asked.

    “I just feel like something’s missing.” Shen Ye stood with his hands on his hips, head tilted, and brows furrowed.

    “A breakthrough opportunity? You probably need to practice more – at least endure continuous hard work, fight in real combat for about half a year, and it should be close.” The Great Skeleton said.

    “Half a year, and the day lilies would be cold,” Shen Ye said.

    “What are day lilies? Are they delicious?”

    “Delicious – let’s not fight for now, let me think.”

    Shen Ye walked to the side, grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat, and looked at the city night view outside the window.

    Practicing had yielded results, but it wasn’t enough.

    —How did the Lightning Palm advance to the first stage of the Dharma Realm back then?

    That’s right!

    He had put all his free attribute points into “comprehension,” which led to a successful breakthrough.

    Seriously, how could he have forgotten this detail!

    With a thought, small characters immediately appeared in the void:

    “You have added all your free attribute points to ‘Comprehension’;”

    “Current Comprehension is:”

    “19 + 13 = 32 points.”

    32 points of comprehension.

    —This was much higher than when he comprehended the first stage of Lightning Palm!

    Shen Ye breathed out, walked back into the arena, and struck a boxing pose.

    “Again,” he said.

    “Good!” The Great Skeleton stretched its body and immediately charged at him.

    Shen Ye looked at it with surprise.

    Every movement, every stride of the opponent became slow, it could be broken down, and he even knew its next attack method.

    The skeleton took its first step—

    It should be able to perform seven types of close-quarters combat.

    Second step, three remaining.

    Third step, one.

    Hook punch.

    Then—

    Shen Ye parried with one hand and kicked.

    Pop.

    The skeleton blocked with its elbow and flew back.

    …Wrong.

    Why am I looking at it?

    I need to observe my own moves!

    Shen Ye took a deep breath and began to silently feel the way the powers of Frost, Moon, Quake, and Heaven operated.

    At this moment.

    He seemed to feel that he had become a completely analyzable data set.

    Any action, any move, where it came from, how much muscle was mobilized, how to strike, how much power was consumed, how much mental power was released, when to release the frost—

    Everything was vivid, clear in his mind.

    “Watch out for my hammer blow this time!”

    The Great Skeleton yelled and leaped up, its fists clasped together like a hammer, slamming down towards Shen Ye.

    Shen Ye twitched all over, instantly retracting all his flowing movements, and raised his hands on the spot to block the Great Skeleton’s double hammers.

    “Hmm—?”

    The Great Skeleton let out a surprised cry.

    Only because its double hammers were blocked by the opponent, but a rushing wind came from behind it—

    How could that be?

    He’s clearly blocking me, so why is there a chilling frost behind me?

    The Great Skeleton was about to turn around to dodge but was grabbed by Shen Ye in front of it—

    So who was behind it?

    It decided to take the hit, twisted its head with all its might, and looked.

    Shen Ye.

    Still Shen Ye!

    He spun around and delivered a flying kick.

    “No way!”

    The Great Skeleton screamed, transforming its head into a hammer and slamming it towards his foot.

    Thud—

    A muffled thud.

    The skeleton’s head indeed blocked the kick, but the frost on Shen Ye’s leg transformed into a sharp ice blade, instantly piercing through the Great Skeleton’s body, slicing it in two.

    “…Are you trying to kill me?” The Great Skeleton said.

    It stood there, holding its own skeleton frame with both hands to prevent it from falling apart.

    “Don’t move—don’t move, it’s my fault, this move just broke through, it was an accidental injury!”

    Shen Ye retracted his move, hurriedly brought out the fish tank, and while the Great Skeleton was still alive, put it into the fish tank.

    The other party had diligently helped, but he had cut the other party’s body in two.

    —This was not a righteous thing to do.

    “Damn… what was that just now?”

    The Great Skeleton asked relentlessly.

    “Frostbite—I had a breakthrough,” Shen Ye said.

    “What about those two you just now?”

    “Movement, you see. I move so fast that your eyes will deceive you and make you think there are two of me,” Shen Ye said.

    He sprinkled calcium supplement liquid into the fish tank.

    “Damn it! Your teacher was right, your sect’s moves are too vicious—I don’t want calcium supplements, I want crayfish!”

    The Great Skeleton hugged its body and cried out aggrievedly.

    “Okay, okay! I’ll go buy some right away,” Shen Ye quickly appeased.

    Lines of faint text appeared in the void:

    “Congratulations.”

    “Your Frostbite and Flowing Moon have officially advanced to the first stage of the Dharma Realm.”

    “Frostbite:”

    “First stage of the Dharma Realm: Icy Kicking Technique.”

    “Effect: 1. Increases the probability of kicking back enemies, their weapons, and even their spells, and comes with a cold attribute, slowing down the movement speed of the kicked object;

    “2. Releases ice blades when in use, striking enemies and further reducing their movement and attack speed.”

    “—Frost flows in the air, unnoticed.”
