Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

Five days later.

Jiang Lan's life has been unusually regular these past few days.

He would go to the academy for class, practice physical skills with Xiao Feng, and continue practicing Iron Mountain Fist after class before returning home in the evening.

When he wasn't in class, he would stay home and study the exercises, repeatedly pondering their key points.

Over the course of a few days, the progress of Iron Mountain Fist was much faster than he had expected.

Jiang Lan attributed the cause to his mental attributes.

Although he wasn't quite at the level of being incredibly intelligent, he was indeed much smarter than before, and his ability to apply what he learned to other situations had also improved considerably.

In particular, their comprehension and memory abilities are much stronger than those of the average person.

Although he hasn't quite mastered it yet, the power of each punch he throws now is at least twice as strong as before.

As for the rest, repeated training will no longer be very effective.

To improve further, you still need to rely on real-world experience.

Early in the morning, Jiang Lan heard noises coming from the next room.

On a sudden impulse, he put on his combat uniform and ran to the living room.

Shen Qingqiu pushed open the door and saw Jiang Lan in his combat uniform. He smirked.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hehe..." Jiang Lan said with a smile, "Last time my aunt went out of town I had to go to school, but today I'm off, so of course we're going to the wilderness together."

"Besides, I feel like I've improved my boxing skills a lot, so I might as well give it a try."

"Alright then." Seeing that Jiang Lan had already said so, Shen Qingqiu didn't refuse. "Come downstairs with me."

……

Everyone had arrived at the city guard compound.

No one found it strange that Jiang Lan had followed them over.

Zhao Gang greeted him with a smile.

"Here comes another guy, bro. Addicted yet?"

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "I just missed Brother Zhao. A day apart feels like three autumns."

Zhao Gang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Come on, bro, stop teasing your brother."

"Ha ha."

After a burst of laughter, everyone got into the car and set off.

Today's destination is still the ruins in the northern suburbs.

Upon arrival, the three teams split up and began their operations separately.

This time, without Jiang Lan even having to speak, Shen Qingqiu said:

"Go ahead, meet in two hours."

"Okay, Auntie."

Jiang Lan responded, turned and left the group, walking alone into the depths of the ruins.

After leaving the group, Jiang Lan took a deep breath and stretched her wrists.

Today's venturing out of the city is partly about hunting ferocious beasts, but more importantly, it's about verifying the practical effectiveness of the Iron Mountain Fist.

After practicing for so many days, we'll only know if it's effective after trying it.

They hadn't gone far when a familiar roar came from ahead.

"roar--!"

A wolf with an iron back emerged from the ruins, its scarlet eyes fixed on Jiang Lan. After letting out a low growl, it pounced directly at him.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan slightly adjusted her posture, lowered her center of gravity, and firmly planted her feet on the ground.

The moment the Ironback Wolf pounced in front of him, Jiang Lan stomped his foot on the ground.

The power surged instantly from the soles of the feet, transmitted to the waist and hips, and then to the shoulders and arms.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Jiang Lan's fist slammed squarely into the Ironback Wolf's head.

"Awoo!"

The Ironback Wolf was struck as if by lightning. A large chunk of its head caved in, and its entire body was slammed over by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground. Its limbs twitched a couple of times before it went completely still.

One punch, a clean and swift kill.

Jiang Lan looked at the Ironback Wolf on the ground and raised an eyebrow slightly.

That's awesome.

Previously, when killing Ironback Wolves, although I could finish them off with one punch, most of the time I would just knock them flying, and they would struggle for a few more seconds before dying.

But with that punch, Ironback Wolf didn't even have a chance to struggle before his head exploded.

So it seems that the hard training these past few days was worthwhile.

Composing himself, Jiang Lan walked to the Ironback Wolf's corpse and began to dispose of it.

After carefully storing the essence and crystal core, Jiang Lan continued onward.

For the next hour or so, he continued to push his way through the ruins.

This time, however, he consciously began to use the power generation method of Iron Mountain Fist.

Initially, the success rate was not very stable.

But as the number of kills increased, he eventually found that almost every punch he threw had double the power.

One punch, one kill.

With the increased efficiency, Jiang Lan's hunting speed also improved significantly.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Lan tallied up her gains.

Sixteen bottles of essence blood, sixteen crystal cores.

Five more than last time.

The only pity is that we didn't encounter any second-tier monsters today.

Moreover, this wretched place is teeming with Ironback Wolves, and there's not a single trick in it.

Gee...

I wonder when I'll be able to move to a different place.

Now, even a first-tier ferocious beast is no different from a piece of paper in front of him.

Shaking his head, Jiang Lan turned and walked towards the meeting point.

……

At the meeting point, after hearing Jiang Lan's findings, Zhao Gang wasn't even bothered to be surprised.

"Brother, Ironback Wolf is really unlucky to have met you."

"Hehe..." Jiang Lan chuckled.

A moment later, everyone arrived. After confirming the number of people, Shen Qingqiu called for everyone to get on the vehicle and retreat.

On the way back, Jiang Lan leaned back in her seat, silently making plans in her mind.

The twenty-one bottles I had saved up before, plus the sixteen bottles I bought today, make a total of thirty-seven bottles.

We are 27 bottles short of 64.

The college will distribute 30 bottles at the beginning of next month, making a total of 67 bottles.

enough.

Not only is it enough to upgrade, but there are still three bottles left.

In other words, he only needs to wait until the beginning of next month to receive the academy's essence blood, and he can directly advance to the eighth level.

No... If I could go out of the city with my aunt a couple more times, I could also accumulate enough essence blood to level up.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan felt a surge of joy.

During this time, if he practices Iron Mountain Fist again and adds the attribute boost from the eighth level, his combat power will reach a new level.

At that time, even second-tier ferocious beasts would probably be no different from the current Ironback Wolves in his presence.

The vehicle sped back to the city guard compound.

After the inventory was completed, Jiang Lan, as usual, gave five crystal cores to Shen Qingqiu, who then distributed them to the other members of the team.

Although he killed all the ferocious beasts himself, one should not be too selfish.

The key is to avoid embarrassing my aunt.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Gang and the others, Jiang Lan followed Shen Qingqiu into the SUV.

As the car drove out of the compound, Shen Qingqiu gripped the steering wheel and casually asked:

How are you feeling today?

Jiang Lan leaned back in her seat, thought for a moment, and then said:

"It went much smoother than last time. Iron Mountain Fist is quite useful. Now, I can kill Ironback Wolves with just one punch each."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Lan.

indeed.

Jiang Lan was clean and tidy this time, and didn't even look like she had just returned from a battle in the wilderness.

A smile inexplicably appeared on Shen Qingqiu's face.

The more capable Jiang Lan is, the happier she, as her aunt, will naturally be.

Moreover, she felt that Jiang Lan seemed to be getting more and more handsome lately.

It's not that my appearance has changed much, but mainly my figure, and... my temperament?

I feel that Jiang Lan's temperament has changed a lot since she awakened her special talent.
