Chapter 186: Chapter 185 Traits, Hidden (Request for Subscription)
Watching Qin Ye and his group leave, the martial artists from the branch office present all breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Wei was no exception.
Despite his previous tough stance, his back was already drenched with sweat.
"President, thank you."
Chen Fan expressed his gratitude.
Though he wasn’t afraid of that group, truly having to fight would undoubtedly disrupt future plans.
Sun Wei waved his hand and turned around, saying, "There’s nothing to thank for. You are a martial artist of the association, and this is the territory of my association. If I can’t even guarantee your safety, then who would dare join our branch in the future?"
Everyone present exchanged glances and nodded.
"Even so, Brother Chen, for the next few days, you should stay low, stay within the association, and try not to go out."
Sun Wei sighed and said, "You also heard what that guy said before leaving. This time, they came just to warn us. From now on, if there’s no accident, your movements will be monitored by them. If you go out hunting like today, that guy will definitely come to find you personally. He won’t dare to touch you in Anshan City, but if outside, even if I’m by your side, I won’t be able to protect you. Understand?"
Not only Chen Fan, but the other entry force martial artists in the branch office should also not go out in the next few days.
Including Sun Wei himself.
"Understood, President. I’ll keep a low profile for the next two days."
"Hmm."
Only then did Sun Wei show a hint of a smile, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll report this matter to the headquarters later. After a few days when the situation calms down, it’ll be fine."
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled.
After chatting for a while, they returned to the base. As soon as they stepped out of the yard, a few gazes from around directed at them.
These people were very blatant, showing no intention to hide, staring at them directly, some even had a smirk on their faces.
"Ignore them, pretend you didn’t see them."
Sun Wei frowned and said.
If Chen Fan were provoked and fought, that would give the enemy a handle, and the headquarters would find it difficult to deal with it.
The two left the village and entered the city. Only when they returned to the base did the feeling of being watched disappear.
"Brother Chen, it’s getting late. You should rest early."
Sun Wei said, glancing outside and reminding again, "You saw it on the way here, Anshan City is almost entirely filled with their people. These two days, unless absolutely necessary, don’t go out."
"Hmm, I understand, thank you, President."
Chen Fan nodded, and after sending Sun Wei off, he walked towards the elevator.
He didn’t care about a few meridian refining martial artists.
The concern was that killing them would attract those few C-level Awakened.
Just in time to spend these two days refining pills and converting all contribution points into potential points.
Regarding experience points, 5000 wasn’t sufficient.
Going upstairs, he greeted Xu Jie and others, and entered a training room with his member card.
He planned to improve his basic leg technique level overnight, to learn those leg technique manuals and then break through.
Standing on the empty floor, Chen Fan kicked forward a few times.
Soon, he unlocked a new skill.
[Basic Leg Techniques: Level 0 (0.8%)]
Immediately, he added some experience points, and a new memory appeared in his mind.
The movements of basic leg techniques are roughly divided into four types:
Four straight-leg techniques: front kick, side kick, inward kick, outward kick, primarily attacking the opponent’s abdomen, chest, and head.
Three bending leg techniques, including snapping leg, stomping leg, and kicking leg, compared to the straight-leg techniques, they also target the opponent’s thigh.
Three striking leg techniques: slapping foot, inward striking with sound, and outward striking with sound, plus two sweeping rotation techniques: front and back sweeps.
Chen Fan glanced at the skill:
[Basic Leg Techniques: Level 1 (0.8%), Trait: Swift Level 1]
Increased agility.
Closing his eyes, he recalled the correct posture for these ten-plus leg techniques then began practicing.
Perhaps due to his high constitution, the skill level increased quickly, upgrading within minutes.
Several minutes later, it reached Level 3.
[Basic Leg Techniques: Level 3 (0%), Traits: Swift Level 3, Powerful Level 2, Strengthening the Body Level 1]
Agility, power, and constitution increased, which was normal, whether it was fist, palm, or leg techniques, practicing long term could have strengthening and health benefits.
Time slowly passed, two hours later, the basic leg techniques reached Level 10, and the speed slowed down.
Completing a standard move only increased by less than one ten-thousandth.
Though he could kick several times a second, it still took about half an hour to level up once.
"I need someone to practice with."
Chen Fan stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought.
Uncle Zhang wasn’t here, naturally he would find the martial artists in the branch.
After thinking, he posted a message in the branch group,
"Is anyone proficient in leg techniques? I’d like some guidance, there’s a reward."
As soon as he wanted to put down his phone, someone replied in the group.
"Gao Shan is proficient in leg techniques, Twelve Stages of Tan Legs, almost perfected."
Tu Yue said and mentioned Gao Shan.
"Brother Gao, Brother Chen is looking for you."
Xu Jie was also there, thoughtfully posting Gao Shan’s phone number.
"Thank you."
Chen Fan responded, just then, Gao Shan joined in.
"Brother Chen, looking for me?"
"Yes, Brother Gao. Sister Yue said you are proficient in leg techniques. I’d like to spar with you, there’s a reward, how about one top-grade Qi Blood Pill for the night?"
Seeing this reward, Tu Yue and others were astonished.
"Brother Chen, you’re too courteous. Sparring with you would be my pleasure, no need for a reward."
Gao Shan directly asked, "Where are you? I’ll come find you."
Chen Fan sent the room number.
Soon, Gao Shan came in, asking with interest, "Brother Chen, you’re also interested in leg techniques?"
"Yes, Brother Gao, let’s spar later. Please guide me."
Chen Fan smiled.
"No need to be polite."
Gao Shan looked around and said, "Shall we begin now?"
"Sure."
Chen Fan welcomed it.
They stood opposite each other.
"Here I come."
Chen Fan said, suddenly moved forward, a simple side kick with a whooping sound came at Gao Shan.
This was naturally him controlling his power, otherwise, it would have produced a sonic boom instead of just wind.
Gao Shan squinted with a smile, effortlessly blocking it.
A skilled hand knows immediately.
Chen Fan’s leg techniques were mediocre.
It seemed tonight’s spar might not bring much improvement.
But using this opportunity to get closer to Chen Fan, who would inevitably enter the headquarters in the future, was beneficial.
After two or three rounds, Chen Fan glanced at the skill bar and found that the skill level increased significantly through sparring.
A minute,
Ten minutes,
Half an hour passed.
Gao Shan gradually felt something was off.
If half an hour earlier, Chen Fan’s leg techniques were mediocre, half an hour later, they showed some skill.
He squinted, thinking perhaps Brother Chen was testing his strength at first.
After realizing Gao Shan could handle his techniques, he slowly started to use full power?
Thinking this, he became more serious.
Another hour passed, Gao Shan felt the pressure.
"Slap!"
A collision sound, and they separated.
"Brother Chen, I’ll start using my full strength now."
Gao Shan’s expression turned serious.
He was certain Chen Fan had been hiding his strength from the start, or his leg techniques had reached a high level.
If he kept using basic leg techniques, he’d soon be overwhelmed.
"Okay."
Chen Fan smiled.
Soon, he felt Gao Shan’s true power.
Previously, Gao Shan focused on leg techniques, using arms for blocking. This time, both upper and lower body attacks.
Upper attacks were powerful and heavy, lower moves were small and fast, like a storm.
The combination was unpredictable, hard to defend.
Many times, Chen Fan was forced to retreat, looking distressed.
But the skill level increased incredibly fast.
Another hour passed, the shock in Gao Shan’s heart was indescribable.
His Twelve Stages of Tan Legs nearly perfected; his usual moves couldn’t affect Chen Fan anymore.
Note that Chen Fan had been using basic leg techniques all along!
Of course, he hadn’t used secret techniques. This was a spar, not a life-and-death battle, and such means weren’t necessary.
"So Brother Chen was just being modest earlier,"
Gao Shan smiled bitterly inside.
This was the basic leg techniques.
If Chen Fan used more advanced techniques, Gao Shan wouldn’t have any resistance.
Nonetheless, he was excited.
This was an excellent learning opportunity!
Another half hour passed,
Chen Fan glanced at his skill level; it had slowed to a staggering pace.
It would take two or three hours to level up.
Opposite, Gao Shan was already panting, his speed and power declining significantly.
"Brother Gao, shall we end the sparring here?"
Chen Fan leaped back and smiled.
"Ah, okay."
Gao Shan, sweating and exhausted, replied with a smile and honored Chen Fan respectfully:
"Brother Chen, sparring with you tonight was immensely beneficial."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I also gained a lot from sparring with Brother Gao tonight."
"Brother Chen, you’re too polite."
Gao Shan’s old face reddened.
He knew how much Chen Fan benefited.
Luckily, his leg techniques were decent, otherwise, there wouldn’t be this learning opportunity.
After seeing Gao Shan off, Chen Fan closed the door, with a slight smile.
He glanced at the wall clock – past midnight.
"It’s already the next day unknowingly."
Chen Fan sighed, looked at the skill bar, his eyes filled with joy.
Overnight, basic leg techniques went from Level 0 to Level 25!
[Basic Leg Techniques: Level 25 (0%), Traits: Swift Level 25, Powerful Level 24, Strengthening the Body Level 23, Stable Level 20, Sensitivity Level 17, Mighty Level 14, Flexible Level 10, Hidden Level 3]
