The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Lu Yan was never overly curious about things he didn't understand.

After confirming that his spying had not alerted Wei Xu, Lu Yan then focused his attention on studying the new sequence's abilities.

The mutation in the farmer's sequence was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for him.

With rioters as a point of reference, one can imagine the intensity of the work of the forest rangers.

But after reading the entire description, Lu Yan still showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Compared to the aggressive, explosive attacks of thugs, the rangers are clearly better suited for a protracted war.

The plant resonance, which can amplify in both directions, can temporarily restore the revival rhythm of the plant state.

Add to that the jungle guardian, who has no plant ownership restrictions, and this is definitely a nature-based summoner!

Now, he faces thugs when fighting alone, forest rangers when ganging up on others, and with the extraordinary powers of the three little trees, he finally has some ability to protect himself in this town.

Suppressing his excitement, Lu Yan tried out all the skills one by one, becoming increasingly adept at handling the forest ranger.

"Once things settle down, we need to cultivate more extraordinary plants. Controlling wild plants is too taxing."

Lu Yan silently noted this down, and the forest ranger also suddenly sensed something, as a new message appeared on the panel.

[Discovering the Promotion Path for Forest Rangers]

[Forest Ranger Promotion Requirement 1: Personally cultivate six mature extraordinary plants (0/6)]

[Second requirement for promotion to Ranger: Master a Black Iron level meditation technique and cultivate it to perfection (Completed)]

[Forest Ranger Promotion Requirement Three: Listen to the Sounds of Nature for One Minute (Incomplete)]

……

[Teacher Awakening Condition Three: Mastering a Spiritual Sequence 8 Awakening Condition (Completed)]

"They've finally arrived."

After so many days, the promotion path for forest rangers has finally become clear, and incidentally, the third condition for promotion to the teacher sequence has also been met.

As Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he became even more curious about the origin of the panel.

It can be perfectly awakened without magic potions, and can even autonomously reveal its advancement path.

Any one of these aspects could drive countless extraordinary individuals outside crazy.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much.

He doesn't have the ability to investigate the origin of the panel yet; the most important thing now is to increase his own strength.

"However, the promotion quests for forest rangers are much more difficult than those for thugs. And what exactly is this 'listening to the sounds of nature' thing?"

Lu Yan was somewhat confused. Why was there such a big difference in the difficulty of promotion between the same special sequence?

Was it because he had already met the requirements for advancement before he transformed into a thug?

"We could consider trying out a detective sequence."

Unlike the farmer sequence, he could obtain the promotion conditions for the detective sequence entirely through Yao Qing.

As for the chips... they'll be available soon!

With this thought in mind, Lu Yan immediately abandoned all distracting thoughts and began cultivating again.

……

Central Villa.

Wei Xu, who was deep in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, and his cold spiritual energy subconsciously began to spread.

But before he could track it down, the aura that he instinctively repelled vanished without a trace.

"Someone was spying on us just now."

A chilling voice drifted from Wei Xu's mouth.

"Hmm, an aura I've never seen before."

"Should we get rid of it?"

Wei Xu's left eye flashed with a red light, indicating a restless impulse.

It sensed an extremely pure natural energy within that aura, and if it could absorb it, it might be able to advance even further.

"No, my behavior was unusual recently, so it's very likely that I'm a spy sent by Mu Yun."

Wei Xu covered his left eye and said coldly, "You'd better behave yourself for now. We need time."

"This is so troublesome..."

The cold voice muttered something, but obediently kept it quiet.

After all, strictly speaking, it is now the same person as Wei Xu, so it wouldn't be stupid enough to betray itself.

……

That night.

As night deepened, inside Lu Yan's residence, his blood and qi surged like raging waves throughout his body, and his skin gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

Without stopping, he continued to push his body's potential to its limits, and suddenly, the subtitles on the panel flashed.

[Thugs: 100% (Promotion Potential)]

"It's done!"

Lu Yan let out a long sigh, forcibly restrained his qi and blood, and focused on the advancement.

The next second, consciousness was suddenly pulled away from the body and fell into a strange space.

He witnessed firsthand how a street thug transformed from a mere brawler into a brute force who could control the battlefield with sheer force, and watched as that thug, through countless trials, abandoned his savage instincts and pursued the ultimate mastery of power.

"The path to greater power... is control, not indulgence."

Lu Yan suddenly felt enlightened, and his consciousness returned to normal in an instant.

[Promotion successful! Obtained Sequence 8 - Martial Artist]

[Gain the Trait - Martial Will: Your will is unbreakable, allowing you to maintain peak reflexes at all times; you can more accurately detect hostility and discern the weaknesses of your targets.]

[Gain Skill - Blood Burst: Upon use, it instantly detonates blood energy, greatly increasing strength and speed, and creating a blood energy shock effect with every movement.]

[Gain skill - Gale Dance: Greatly increases movement speed and attack speed, and deals a strong health shock to the target.]

As the subtitles flickered, a violent tearing sensation swept through his body, as if countless heavy hammers were repeatedly forging his bones on an anvil.

However, thanks to his martial arts will, Lu Yan remained clear-headed and quickly absorbed the massive amount of martial arts techniques that emerged in his mind.

To resist the excruciating pain, he immediately got up and practiced the moves. His fists were as swift as the wind and his feet as powerful as thunder. The surging blood and qi in his body were gradually guided and tamed by the moves, and his control over his body also increased rapidly in the process.

Finally, when the last wisp of restless energy returned to normal, Lu Yan completely completed his transformation into Sequence 8.

He lightly clenched his right fist, his qi and blood gathering in his palm as easily as his arm and fingers, and let out a low shout.

"break!"

With a gentle release of force from his palm, a neat palm print appeared on the ground with a "poof" sound, while the surrounding walls remained completely unaffected.

"Thugs seek the release of brute force, which is powerful but uncontrollable, while martial artists completely control this power."

Lu Yan seemed to understand something; seemingly similar characteristics and skills could have vastly different effects.

He looked out the window. It was already late at night, and apart from the guards on duty, everyone else at the Black Dog Gang's base was fast asleep.

Suddenly, Lu Yan opened the window, rolled up the three small plants and tied them to his body, flipped over and landed steadily, then headed straight for the central villa.

The night-roaming characteristic remained, which further enhanced Lu Yan's newly increased strength and speed.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan arrived at the foot of the central villa and leaped straight up to the second floor!

The villa was deserted and filled with an unsettling chill.

Following the path discovered by the detective, he easily found the location of Wei Xu's secret room.

Without any attempt to conceal himself, Lu Yan's blood and energy erupted, smashing through the hidden door.

To Wei Xu's astonishment, Lu Yan's fist, imbued with the will of martial arts, struck him heavily in the chest.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.
