In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

"Flaw Insight: Capturing the weaknesses in the target's actions and transforming 'invisible vulnerabilities' into 'visible signals'"

Li Yuan looked at his newly acquired talent points.

Compared to the talent "Quick Mastery of Martial Arts," "Weakness Insight" is clearly more suited to actual combat.

Of course, Li Yuan didn't mean to say that this talent was better than [Quick Mastery of Martial Arts].

The two talents are applicable in different scenarios.

One focuses on improving practical combat skills, while the other is directly used to deal with opponents.

Having obtained the fourth talent, there's nowhere to test and verify it right now.

It's already past eleven o'clock.

Li Yuan stopped thinking about it and started counting numbers in his mind, forcing himself to fall asleep.

Li Yuan woke up before seven o'clock in the morning.

I went to the restaurant for breakfast and sat there waiting.

Thinking it over, he decided to tell Xia Zhao and say goodbye to her.

A little after seven, Xia Zhao really arrived.

His eyes searched around and spotted Li Yuan.

She took some food and sat down opposite Li Yuan.

"Are you going back soon?" Xia Zhao asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded and replied with a smile, "We've been out for quite a while now, and the intensity of this training has definitely exceeded the limit."

Yes, what young martial artist comes to Qijia Town for training with the expectation of dealing with a crisis of this magnitude?

"And you? Are you planning to stay in Qijia Town for a few more days?"

Xia Zhao shook her head: "I called home, and they arranged for a convoy to pick me up."

When are you leaving?

Was the car parked in the Zhennan parking lot?

Her subconscious question left Li Yuan momentarily speechless.

"I...I'm taking the high-speed train back, it departs at 8:20..."

After some hesitation, Li Yuan finally spoke up.

The two people have vastly different living environments.

Xia Zhao rarely chooses high-speed rail for travel.

If the distance is a bit far, she will travel by flight attendant.

Unlike Li Yuan, who usually buys second-class seats when taking the high-speed rail.

"Oh... taking the high-speed rail is pretty good, it's quite fast..."

Xia Zhao seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and his response was an attempt to cover it up.

"By the way, could you give me your contact information so I can get in touch with you?"

After taking a bite of food, Xia Zhao finally got to the point.

She came to see Li Yuan this morning because she wanted a way to contact him.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Why don't you give me a number? I'll contact you when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhao got up and went to the hotel front desk to borrow paper and pen.

He then handed Li Yuan a sticky note with a string of numbers written on it.

This string of numbers was different from the phone numbers Li Yuan knew; it was two digits shorter.

"Yes, this is the number."

Perhaps sensing Li Yuan's confusion, Xia Zhao added softly.

Li Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

It was eight o'clock in no time.

The train departs in twenty minutes; I need to get to the high-speed rail station.

After saying goodbye, Li Yuan left the restaurant first.

Walking down the street, I unconsciously unfolded the note and looked at the number on it.

"Practice diligently; who knows, you might amount to something?"

Li Yuan muttered something to himself, partly as a consolation, and partly as a reminder.

Upon arriving at the high-speed rail station, ticket checking had already begun.

I boarded the high-speed train and returned to Lingshan City.

Looking out the window at the scenery rushing past, Li Yuan reflected on his experience.

First, the desensitization step was completely exceeded.

Of all the martial artists who went to Qijia Town for training, whose experience was more dangerous than Li Yuan's?

Not only did they encounter regular ferocious beasts, but they also encountered the mutated ferocious beast that had destroyed a town decades ago.

After such a dangerous crisis, the feeling of tension and fear upon seeing a ferocious beast will certainly not reappear.

The second point is to verify the experiences I have learned from the book.

Upon verification, the methods and lessons learned in the book are very valuable.

These experiences will be of great help to me in the Qingwu Tournament.

Aside from these two pre-planned points, Li Yuan also gained quite a few additional benefits.

In particular, his and Xia Zhao's discussion about martial arts training.

She provided a lot of guidance on improving one's martial arts skills.

She listed all the difficulties and obstacles she encountered on this path.

Relatively speaking, her understanding of martial arts techniques was of limited help to her.

Xia Zhao's understanding of many martial arts techniques can't be considered bad.

However, compared to myself, I am still a bit naive.

She could only grasp one layer of the profound meaning hidden within many martial arts techniques.

Of course, Xia Zhao has already surpassed others by achieving this.

With a solid foundation in martial arts and a deep understanding of martial arts techniques, how could he be bad?

With that thought in mind, he took out the USB drive.

The USB drive Xia Zhao gave him also contained a basic cultivation method.

Compared to martial arts skills, my current need for basic cultivation methods is much greater.

However, according to her, it is unknown whether there are any errors in this basic cultivation method called "Heavenly Gang Body Refining".

Many powerful individuals who read it believed it contained numerous errors.

Some powerful individuals even felt that this cultivation method was entirely fabricated nonsense.

Even the grandmasters couldn't understand this set of practices; in fact, it might really be just nonsense.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan lay down to rest again.

It's still early to reach Lingshan City; we won't arrive until tomorrow morning.

The high-speed rail has now been slowed down, so its speed is only slightly faster than that of a car.

The route passes through many mountainous and rural areas, not all of which are cities.

These places are not outside the border, so the number of ferocious beasts is much smaller, even scarce.

However, incidents of ferocious beasts ramming into high-speed trains have still occurred.

Martial artists might be able to withstand such a traffic accident, but not all citizens are physically strong.

While slowing down reduces efficiency, it does improve safety.

Noon.

A convoy stopped in front of the hotel where Li Yuan had previously stayed.

Xia Zhao left the restaurant, took one last look at Qijia Town, and then got into the car.

For this type of executive sedan, comfort is the most important requirement.

Once the car doors and windows are closed, any external noise disappears.

To Xia Zhao's left was an elderly noblewoman.

Money really does nourish people; even in his seventies, he looks about fifty.

"Let me see my dear granddaughter. It seems she really suffered a bit on this trip."

That's good, at least it saves you from complaining every day that all sorts of experiences are boring.

The lady's words carried a hint of teasing.

She only heard that Xia Zhao had encountered some trouble on this trip, and even lost his communication equipment.

They had no idea that Xia Zhao was facing a life-threatening situation.

"Tell me, what kind of ferocious beast did you encounter this time?"

"Are there many spider-like ferocious beasts in Qijia Town because of the spider silk?"

Hearing her grandmother's words, Xia Zhao did not refute them.

With a serious expression, he began to recount what had happened.

"Deep in the old town of Qijia, I encountered a mutated ferocious beast..."

Before Xia Zhao could finish speaking, the noblewoman next to him widened her eyes instantly.

"Mutant ferocious beast?"

The mutated, ferocious beasts that slaughtered Qi Family Town forty years ago?!
