Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

Two days later, at dawn.

The two were dressed and tidied up.

Jiang Lan was somewhat excited.

Today is another day to leave the city. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to reach the third level of Vajra Indestructible today.

However... we can no longer use getting separated as an excuse.

However, Jiang Lan had already come up with an excuse.

Following Shen Qingqiu to the underground parking garage, before getting into the car, Jiang Lan suddenly said:

"Auntie, there's something I want to tell you."

Shen Qingqiu was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Jiang Lan.

"What is it?"

Jiang Lan took a deep breath and whispered, "I feel like I've gotten stronger lately."

Shen Qingqiu's gaze sharpened as he stared at Jiang Lan.

"You've gotten stronger?"

"Yes." Jiang Lan nodded. "Actually, after I was injured last time, I noticed that I seemed to have gained a lot of strength and my defense had also become much stronger."

Shen Qingqiu frowned and asked with a serious expression:

Are you sure?

Jiang Lan had been tested before and was found to have no martial arts talent.

Moreover, he has never systematically cultivated, so how could he suddenly become stronger?

But Jiang Lan said:

"I'm sure that the Ironback Wolf from last time... wasn't injured. I was even scratched, but my hand just felt a little numb, and nothing else happened."

Shen Qingqiu stood there, stunned.

After a long while, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of something.

"Special talent?!"

Jiang Lan was stunned when she heard those four words.

He just made up a lie on the spot. What is this "special talent" anyway?

"Special talent?"

Shen Qingqiu's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Martial artists are divided into ordinary talent martial artists and special talent martial artists."

"Ordinary talents can be detected, but special talents cannot."

"Moreover, special talents are all different and strange. Most importantly, special talents require specific conditions to awaken."

"Some people, even if they have special talents, will never awaken them in their lifetime because they haven't met the conditions."

Jiang Lan was overjoyed.

Is there such a good thing?

In this way, his lie would be covered up, wouldn't it?

He suppressed his joy and feigned surprise, saying:

"Really?"

Shen Qingqiu nodded and said, "Although it's just my guess, I think... it should be."

Otherwise, there's no way to explain Jiang Lan's change.

She thought for a moment, then faced Jiang Lan and said:

"Come on, don't move, I'm going to test your defense."

Jiang Lan readily agreed and got into position.

The underground parking lot is very spacious, so you don't have to worry about bumping into anything.

"Stand still. I'll use about 20% of my strength first. If it hurts too much, just tell me to stop."

Jiang Lan closed his eyes slightly, his face bearing the expression of someone bravely facing execution, and said:

"Come on, Auntie, I'm ready!"

Shen Qingqiu rolled his eyes at Jiang Lan, then punched Jiang Lan in the chest.

"Bang!"

Jiang Lan remained completely still.

I felt nothing, absolutely nothing.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qingqiu's eyes.

"Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Lan grinned. "Put a little more pressure on me."

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath.

"Fifty percent of your strength, get ready."

As he spoke, Shen Qingqiu threw another punch, creating a whooshing sound, which landed squarely on Jiang Lan's chest.

"Thump!"

This time, the punch was significantly more powerful, striking Jiang Lan's chest with a dull thud.

Jiang Lan felt a tingling sensation in her chest and took a half step back, but quickly regained her balance and looked up at Shen Qingqiu, saying:

"I can feel it a little, but it still doesn't hurt."

Shen Qingqiu's eyes widened.

She was a mid-stage Qi Opening martial artist; a strike with 50% of her power was essentially equivalent to a full-force strike from a late-stage Body Tempering martial artist.

It doesn't hurt yet?

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath.

"I'll try with 70% effort. Don't push yourself. Tell me if you feel you can't hold on."

As soon as she finished speaking, her blood surged, and she threw a punch without hesitation.

"Thump!!!"

This time, a faint echo reverberated throughout the entire parking lot.

Jiang Lan took two steps back, a dull pain shooting through her chest.

Auntie, you didn't even give me a chance to tell you!

However, it's not a big problem. Although it hurts a little, I'm still not injured.

After regaining her balance, Jiang Lan said, "It hurts a little, but I'm not injured."

Shen Qingqiu was completely shocked.

Her beautiful eyes trembled violently as she stared at Jiang Lan, speechless for a long time.

Seventy percent of her power is equivalent to a full-force strike from a martial artist in the early stages of the Qi Refining Realm.

Jiang Lan only felt a little pain?

Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Your defense... little monster."

Jiang Lan asked, "Then have I really awakened a special talent?"

Shen Qingqiu nodded.

"It definitely is, and it's a defensive special talent, which is extremely rare."

Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

With this explanation, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Shen Qingqiu looked at Jiang Lan.

"Go out of the city today, you can test your strength."

Jiang Lan's eyes lit up, and she asked repeatedly, "Really?"

Shen Qingqiu nodded.

"But you must follow my instructions and not act recklessly."

"Don't worry, Auntie. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I'll never chase a chicken."

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Qingqiu rolled her eyes at Jiang Lan again. "Get in the car and let's go, we'll be late."

Looking at her aunt's expression, Jiang Lan felt a strange feeling rising in her heart...

bah bah bah.

What's wrong with him these past few days? Why is he always thinking about random things?

That's my aunt. Although we're not related by blood, this kind of thinking is clearly wrong!

Composing himself, Jiang Lan got into the passenger seat.

Shen Qingqiu stepped on the gas, and the SUV roared as it drove towards the city guard compound.

When the two arrived at the compound, almost everyone had already arrived.

After waiting a while longer until everyone had arrived, the group boarded the car and set off.

This time, the destination is the ruins in the southern suburbs.

The distance is about the same, but there are no second-tier ferocious beasts appearing over there.

In the car, Zhao Gang asked:

"Captain, what's the schedule for today?"

Shen Qingqiu glanced at Jiang Lan from the side.

"Let Jiang Lan give it a try today."

"Huh?" Zhao Gang was taken aback. "Should we let Jiang Lan give it a try?"

Shen Qingqiu nodded and said:

"He may have awakened a special talent."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"Special talent? Really?" Zhao Gang was somewhat incredulous.

Li Ming frowned and said, "Captain, you must be mistaken. Special talents aren't so easy to awaken."

Shen Qingqiu then said:

"I've tested it. His defensive capabilities are very strong. He can withstand 70% of my force without getting hurt."

Zhao Gang's eyes widened.

Others might not know, but as a martial artist who had also opened his meridians, he clearly understood what it meant to withstand 70% of Shen Qingqiu's power in an attack.

Even he might not be able to withstand it.

"Could it be a defensive special talent?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ming scoffed.

"Defensive build? It's okay in the early game, but in the late game, defensive talents are just for filling in the gaps on the battlefield; they're useless except for getting beaten up."

Shen Qingqiu tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but did not lash out.

Jiang Lan turned around and glanced at Li Ming.

"So, if you open your mouth, you can bark like a dog, right?"
