I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Maintaining the Coiling Dragon Art posture, Xue Jing remained motionless.

With each breath, countless hidden nodes within his body were continuously stimulated. If one were to connect all these nodes with a line, they would find their arrangement resembled that of a dormant True Dragon.

As time passed, Xue Jing felt his body begin to heat up and itch as if countless needles were pricking him. His blood and energy circled rapidly within his body, faintly producing a sound akin to trickling stream water.

Merely half an hour later, he was sweating profusely, exhaling nearly scalding hot breaths through his mouth and nose. The nodes within his body not only itched and felt hot, but they also gradually became painfully swollen.

Xue Jing began to breathe haphazardly and was unable to maintain the Coiling Dragon Art posture. He collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, falling into an almost oxygen-deprived state as if his lungs were being squeezed dry.

[You have completed a session of Coiling Dragon Art Posture Practice, Fitness Experience Points +98]

[You have completed a session of Coiling Dragon Art Posture Practice, Channeling Energy Experience Points +89]

Glancing at the panel, Xue Jing couldn't help but be surprised.

Just half an hour of Coiling Dragon Art posture practice, and he had gained both 98 Fitness Experience Points and 89 Channeling Energy Experience Points!

The efficiency was twice as fast as direct gym workouts, and it simultaneously provided Channeling Energy experience!

"Good, good, this is your first time maintaining Coiling Dragon Art Posture for so long, just as I expected. You are extremely suitable for the Hidden Dragon School," Li Qi said from his wheelchair, expressing his joy.

"Aside from you, the direct disciple with the best Physical Talent is your eldest senior brother, Meng Boshang. The first time he tried the Coiling Dragon Art Posture Standing, he lasted twenty-three minutes."

"You lasted thirteen minutes longer than him."

Xue Jing: "¿"

Thirteen what? Say that again.

"How is it, did you memorize all the steps of the Coiling Dragon Art well?" Li Qi asked.

After catching his breath for a while, Xue Jing closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"I've memorized them all, thank you, Master."

Coiling Dragon Art had countless complex details. Even achieving the correct posture was challenging, let alone the stimulation of nodes by the circulation of energy and blood within the body, which was many times more difficult than maintaining the posture. Such a complex posture skill would have taken an unknown amount of time to memorize using ordinary practices.

But Li Qi, with his incredible control of energy, merely shook Xue Jing's hand to help him achieve the most standard Coiling Dragon Art posture. This allowed him to focus entirely on remembering every step, a method of teaching that was simply like playing at a lower dimension.

"Good, good body and good mind," Li Qi nodded, very satisfied.

After resting for a while and stabilizing his breath, feeling recovered, Xue Jing asked,

"Master, what shall I learn next?"

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Martial arts practice should not be rushed. The Coiling Dragon Art imposes a great burden on the body. People without enough talent can suffer greatly after just a few minutes. Although your talent is excellent, you should not overtrain at the beginner stage."

"I have already asked Shanying to prepare the Sleeping Dragon Salve. She will help you apply it later to recover your body, and then you can continue training tomorrow."

Xue Jing hesitantly said, "Shanying is going to help me apply it?"

Thinking of that young-looking girl... he wondered if he had hurt her yesterday.

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "She volunteered to help you."

"Shanying is a year younger than you and possesses a rare, pure Red Child nature. Although she is nominally your senior sister, there are aspects where she might need your care."

"Now that you have joined my tutelage, she finally has a playmate of her own age. She will be closer to you, so you should get along well."

Xue Jing nodded in agreement.

"Ahaha, here comes the Sleeping Dragon Salve~"

As if waiting for this moment, a cheerful young girl's voice came from the doorway of the training room. Zhu Shanying entered, holding a fist-sized white porcelain bottle. Her young face was filled with smiles, seemingly unfazed by being defeated by Xue Jing the day before.

"Hmm, you young people chat for a while. I woke up early today and need to go back to sleep for a while..."

Li Qi waved his hand and wheeled himself out of the training room.

As soon as he left, Zhu Shanying turned her gaze toward Xue Jing.

"Come on, little junior brother, take off your shirt and come sit over here."

Sitting on the ground in a duck-sit position, Zhu Shanying patted the floor, signaling Xue Jing to sit in front of her.

The young girl in a fitted training garment had her hair tied up in a bun and her bare, uncolored beautiful jade feet exposed, embodying a naively seductive charm in this posture that showcased feminine beauty.

"..."

Xue Jing always felt something was off, but it wasn't a good time to refuse. He could only nod, grabbed the hem of his T-shirt with both hands, lifted it up, and his perfectly god-crafted upper body was exposed.

"Wow."

Zhu Shanying exclaimed.

"Pretty impressive, little junior brother."

"You flatter me, Sister Zhu," Xue Jing said as he came over to her, turned his back to her, and sat down cross-legged.

Before long, Xue Jing felt a pair of soft, slightly cool, and silky hands spreading salve on his back.

Wherever it was applied, there was a sensation as if menthol balm had been rubbed on, creating a hot and spicy feeling.

In the quiet, Xue Jing thought for a moment and spoke:

"Sister, I'm truly sorry about yesterday. You weren't injured, were you?"

Zhu Shanying's movements paused as she applied the salve, then she said with a smile, "Of course, I wasn't injured."

"However, although my body wasn't hurt, my feelings were a bit hurt."

The girl's fingers wandered over Xue Jing's back, suddenly pressing down hard on a spot, channeling energy deep into his body, making Xue Jing inhale sharply from the pain.

Zhu Shanying's voice, cheerful and velvety, rang by Xue Jing's ear.

"Little brother, don't think I'm not competitive."

The girl's fingers twisted, scraping forcefully across Xue Jing's muscles.

"Don't move, okay? Sleeping Dragon Salve needs to be rubbed in this way for the medicine to penetrate deep into the body and work effectively."

"..."

Xue Jing turned his head to look at the smiling Zhu Shanying and didn't speak, silently enduring the massage that clearly carried a hint of revenge.

After a short while, it was the young girl who couldn't keep up anymore.

"...You could say something," the young girl exclaimed tenderly.

Xue Jing said in a low voice, "It's nothing, as long as you're happy, Sister."

Zhu Shanying: "..."

"Alright, it was my fault, actually losing to you because of my own carelessness, yet still thinking about revenge, taking the opportunity to deliberately tease you..."

"Can you not be mad at me..."

Zhu Shanying said, sounding pitiful.

Xue Jing was speechless.

After thinking it over, he said softly:

"I'm not mad at you, it's just really painful, so my voice might have dropped."

"Keep going, Sister, don't mind me."

Seeing that he really wasn't angry, Zhu Shanying breathed a sigh of relief, patted the budding Lailai, "That's good, little brother, you scared me..."
