Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

A moment later, the door opened a crack from the inside, and Li Qinglu peeked out with half her face showing.

She had changed into a white undergarment, and her jet-black hair was loose, gleaming softly in the moonlight.

When she saw it was him, her gentle eyes and brows curved into a smile, and a smile spread from the depths of her eyes.

"Wu Lang, come in," she called softly.

Wu Feng looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. He stepped over the threshold and closed the door behind him.

The latch clicked into the slot.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance, the kind that comes after a bath, a blend of soapberry and flower petals.

Wu Feng walked up to Li Qinglu and looked down at her. Li Qinglu raised her head and met his gaze.

Wu Feng gently put his arm around her waist. She obediently leaned into his arms, buried her face in his chest, closed her eyes, and let out a long breath.

More than an hour later.

The room fell silent, with only the soft breathing of the two people remaining.

Wu Feng sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Li Qinglu.

Reaching out, she brushed aside the stray hairs damp with sweat from her forehead, and Li Qinglu closed her eyes, a smile curving her lips.

After a few breaths, her breathing gradually calmed down, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Wu Feng looked at her for a moment, then got up and straightened his clothes. He bent down and pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders.

Turn around, walk to the door, gently open it, step over the threshold, and close the door gently.

Standing in the courtyard, I took a deep breath, turned around, walked back to the main house, and bolted the door.

He walked to the bedside and sat cross-legged.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and exhale slowly. After relaxing your body, begin to practice the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

A full cycle has passed.

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

Pale gold text popped up at the edge of my field of vision.

Wu Feng immersed himself in that faint warm current, continuing to guide his true energy circulation. The second cycle, the third cycle, the fourth cycle…

Time passed in the midst of cultivation. The moonlight outside the window moved from the east to the west, and the light and shadow on the window paper slowly changed.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the rustling of the few clumps of green bamboo in the courtyard in the night wind.

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

The indicator pulsed steadily, one cycle after another.

That vital energy flowed through the meridians, and with each cycle, the warmth deepened.

After an unknown amount of time, the window paper changed from dark black to deep blue, and then from deep blue to grayish-white.

In the distance, the faint sound of a rooster crowing could be heard, carried over from several courtyards, until the crowing subsided.

Another hour passed, and it was Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

Wu Feng slowly finished his practice and opened his eyes. The faint golden light in his eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant, sinking into the depths of his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, which condensed into a straight white streak in the cool morning air, shooting from the bedside all the way to the door.

He glanced at the skill bar: [Nine Yang Divine Skill (Beginner 102400/200000)]

After a night of cultivation, I gained over 60,000 proficiency points. I still have over 90,000 points to go before reaching the proficiency level.

He shook his head, got off the bed, and stretched his muscles.

The joints made a series of soft, cracking sounds with each movement.

Walk to the window and open it.

The morning light shone in from the east, gilding the clumps of green bamboo in the courtyard with a pale gold hue.

Dew still clung to the bamboo leaves, occasionally a drop would fall and spread a small dark patch on the blue bricks.

He took a deep breath of the cool morning air, and with a slight thought, opened the system interface.

Information about the imperial military examination is now available.

He clicked on it and read down line by line.

[Imperial Martial Arts Examination - Activity Description]

[Event Time: Officially begins tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM)]

[Event Location: South Training Ground of Kaifeng Prefecture]

[Eligibility: Those holding a martial arts test token]

[Event Flow: Preliminary Round → Second Round → Final Round]

[First Place Reward: The title of Martial Arts Champion, 1,000 taels of gold, 100 bolts of silk, and a mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture. The Martial Arts Champion will be granted a third-rank official position upon entering officialdom and will be eligible to serve in the imperial court.]

[Second Place Rewards: The title of runner-up, 500 taels of gold, 50 bolts of silk, and a mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture.]

[Third Place Reward: The title of Tan Hua (探花), 300 taels of gold, 30 bolts of silk, and a mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture.]

[Third to tenth place: awarded the title of Jinshi (进士), one hundred taels of gold, and ten bolts of silk.]

Wu Feng read through the lines one by one, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.

This reward is truly extravagant. One thousand taels of gold, at the current exchange rate, is equivalent to eleven million in cash.

In addition to that mansion, the official rank of a third-grade official, and the title of martial arts champion...

Although there were no martial arts rewards, the rewards in terms of money and power were plentiful.

This is considered the fastest way for players to advance. Close the interface, walk to the door, and open it.

The morning light was just right in the courtyard. He walked to the courtyard gate and called out towards the front hall, "Waiter."

The waiter quickly jogged over, a smile plastered on his face: "Sir, would you like some breakfast?"

"Hmm." Wu Feng took out a piece of silver weighing about two qian from his sleeve and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard. "Six bowls of wontons, a pound of sliced ​​beef, and six boiled eggs. Bring them to the courtyard."

"Alright!" The waiter took the money, turned around, and ran back in a flash.

Wu Feng walked to the door of the west wing and knocked three times. Then he walked to the door of the east wing and knocked three times.

A moment later, the two doors opened one after the other.

Li Qinglu and Wu Xingyun came out, and the three of them sat down at the stone table.

Before long, the waiter came running into the yard carrying a large food box.

He placed the food box on the stone table, opened the lid, and a waft of hot air mixed with a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.

Six bowls of wonton soup, the broth milky white, with a few scallions and cilantro floating on top.

A pound of beef was sliced ​​thinly and arranged neatly. Six hard-boiled eggs, still hot to the touch, were placed on a small plate.

The waiter laid out the items one by one on the stone table, smiling as he asked, "Sir, is there anything else you'd like to order?"

"That's all." Wu Feng waved his hand.

The waiter nodded, picked up the empty food box, and left.

Wu Feng reached out and picked up two bowls of wontons, handing them to Li Qinglu and Wu Xingyun.

Li Qinglu took it, glanced at it, picked up the spoon, scooped one up, and put it in her mouth.

She chewed slowly, swallowed, and then looked up, a smile curving her lips: "Wu Lang, it's delicious."

Wu Feng also took a bowl for himself and put a few slices of beef into her bowl.

Li Qinglu looked down at the extra beef in her bowl, and the smile on her lips deepened.

She didn't say anything, just ate in small bites, occasionally glancing at him.

Wu Xingyun sat opposite him, slowly eating from his bowl.

His movements remained composed, the spoon never making a crisp sound against the bowl. His gaze occasionally swept over the two people opposite him, then quickly lowered again.

While eating, Wu Feng said, "I need to adjust my condition today, so I won't go out. You all rest in the yard and don't go outside."

Li Qinglu nodded: "Okay."

Wu Xingyun nodded without saying anything.

The meal lasted for about 15 minutes. The bowls and plates on the table gradually emptied, and the pound of beef was almost gone.

Li Qinglu put down her bowl, let out a satisfied sigh, and leaned back in her chair.

The sunlight shone on her face, giving her fair skin a faint blush.

Wu Feng wiped his mouth with a cloth and called out towards the end of the corridor, "Waiter."

The waiter quickly ran over, deftly cleared away the dishes, packed the food into a food container, and left.

Wu Feng stood up and looked at the two of them: "Go back and rest."

Li Qinglu nodded, got up, and walked back to the west wing. Reaching the door, she glanced back at him, a smile curving her lips, and pushed the door open to go inside.

Wu Xingyun also got up, walked back to the east wing, and closed the door.

Wu Feng turned and walked back to the main room. He bolted the door, walked to the bedside, and sat down.

Just as he was about to begin his cultivation, he suddenly remembered something. He got up, pushed open the door, and walked out to the door of the west wing, where he knocked three times.

The door opened quickly, and Li Qinglu peeked out, looking somewhat puzzled: "Wu Lang?"

Wu Feng handed her the scroll: "Here, take this. Use it to study."

Li Qinglu took the scroll and glanced at it. The scroll depicted an image of a woman, with dense markings of meridians, acupoints, and the pathways of internal energy flow beside it.

She looked up at Wu Feng, somewhat bewildered: "This is...?"

"The Lesser Formless Skill," Wu Feng said, "is an internal skill. You can take it and learn it; ask me if you don't understand anything."

Li Qinglu looked at the painting in her hand, then at him, a complex emotion in her eyes. She nodded, a smile curving her lips: "Okay."

Wu Feng looked at her and said, "Just practice according to the cultivation diagram on that woman's body. The cultivation method recorded on the man's body is not suitable for you, so don't practice it."

Li Qinglu nodded: "I'll remember, Wu Lang."

Wu Feng hummed in agreement and turned to walk back to the main room.

He bolted the door, walked to the bedside, and sat cross-legged.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath and exhale slowly, relax your body, and continue practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

Pale gold characters appeared at the edge of his vision. The Nine Yang True Qi washed over his meridians again and again.

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

[Nine Yang Divine Skill Proficiency +276]

The notification kept flashing, one cycle after another.
