After their run, Luo Yiyi invited Li Yunshuang back to her home for a meal.
During dinner, Li Yunshuang said, "Oh, by the way, we have a competition at our Taekwondo school tomorrow. Are you interested in coming to watch?"
"Sure."
Luo Feng had nothing else to do anyway, so he thought there was no harm in going to watch.
The next day.
Luo Feng and Luo Yiyi drove to the Taekwondo school where Li Yunshuang was.
Her school seemed quite famous in Jiangcheng; it was very large, occupying an entire floor, and had quite a few students, though most were teenagers.
This competition was jointly organized by Li Yunshuang's school and another Taekwondo school to attract new students.
They even hired someone to film the entire event and livestream it.
There was a lot to do before the competition, so Li Yunshuang initially greeted them, then went to busy herself with the event.
Li Yunshuang was beautiful and skilled, making her a star coach at the school, with many students under her guidance.
"Mr. Luo, this is the coffee Sister Yunshuang ordered for you."
At this moment, a female student approached with two cups of coffee.
Li Yunshuang had ordered them, worried they might get bored waiting.
However, the female student was accidentally bumped by another student passing by, and the coffee spilled onto Luo Feng.
Luo Feng's white shirt, which he was wearing today, was immediately ruined.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The female student apologized frantically.
Luo Feng shook his head and said, "It's fine."
Li Yunshuang heard the commotion and walked over, saying helplessly, "Good thing I ordered cold coffee, otherwise it would have been troublesome if you got scalded. How about this, we have spare student uniforms in the school, I'll get you a change of clothes first."
"Alright."
Li Yunshuang had the student take Luo Feng to change.
By the time Luo Feng had changed and come out, the competition had already been underway for some time.
However, Luo Feng had initially thought it would be students competing, but to his surprise, coaches like Li Yunshuang were on stage.
Luo Feng was a little surprised and walked over to Luo Yiyi, asking, "Yi Yi, what's going on? Why is Xiao Shuang on stage?"
"It was indeed students at first, but then the opposing school, for some unknown reason, changed their minds at the last minute and decided to have coaches compete, saying that only coaches could truly reflect the school's standard. That coach is a bit unusual."
Luo Yiyi said, looking at Li Yunshuang's opponent.
He was a young man in his early twenties, with a slender build. When fighting Li Yunshuang, his speed was very fast, and his leg techniques were particularly fierce.
"This person's style isn't just simple Taekwondo; there's a subtle foundation of traditional Chinese martial arts, and he's even close to the Mingjin (Manifested Strength) level."
Luo Yiyi said.
Although traditional Chinese martial arts are not as powerful as cultivation, they have a long history and are a method of developing human potential. According to Luo Yiyi's understanding, before the Spiritual Qi recovery fully began, many people practiced traditional Chinese martial arts to temper their Physical Body.
It was also a foundation for cultivation!
Later, after the Spiritual Qi recovery, those with a foundation in traditional Chinese martial arts progressed faster and further in cultivation than most cultivators.
"Mingjin (Manifested Strength)? Yi Yi, you've been reading novels again, haven't you?"
Luo Feng's mouth twitched.
He had only encountered terms like Mingjin (Manifested Strength) and Anjin (Hidden Strength) in novels.
【Ding! Traditional Chinese martial arts are real. They are a form of combat derived from cultivation methods, divided into five stages: Mingjin (Manifested Strength), Anjin (Hidden Strength), Huajin (Transforming Strength), Danjing, and Gang Strength. Among them, Gang Strength is equivalent to Body Tempering Perfection in the cultivation realm! However, because traditional Chinese martial arts are lethal techniques, in actual combat, a practitioner with Major Achievement in Gang Strength can kill ten cultivators at Body Tempering Perfection. Of course, no matter how strong, it is still within the Body Tempering category!】
At this moment, the System's prompt sounded in Luo Feng's mind.
Luo Feng was stunned.
No way, this thing actually exists!
Luo Yiyi was silent for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to Luo Feng, so she just laughed it off, "Yes, there's a golden house in books."
"Hmm, you're right."
This time, Luo Feng didn't object.
Luo Yiyi was a little surprised, "Dad, aren't you going to scold me?"
"Scold you for what? You're under a lot of study pressure, so what's wrong with occasionally reading some novels to relax? Back in the day, your dad here stayed up all night reading them, ahem, but you can't learn from me and stay up all night."
"Okay."
Luo Yiyi didn't read them anymore. After all, she used to read novels to yearn for a cultivation life, but now, what's the point of just reading when she can experience it herself?
On the stage, the confrontation between Li Yunshuang and the young man opposite had reached a fever pitch. Li Yunshuang accidentally took a kick from her opponent; although she blocked it with both hands in time, she still staggered back several steps, and both her hands were numb from the impact.
"Damn! What immense strength, where did this guy come from?!"
Li Yunshuang was secretly astonished.
In the Taekwondo world, she considered her own strength to be among the best, if not top-tier, yet this person opposite her was not only superior but also someone she had never heard of before!
Could he have been temporarily brought in by the opposing school to help?
"Heh, Coach Li, you're too kind. It seems our Yunyang Taekwondo School is superior after all!" The young man chuckled.
Li Yunshuang's expression was not very good.
Originally, the two schools had agreed to hold an exchange competition to attract popularity for both, but now the other party had pulled such a stunt, sending out a master to defeat all the coaches of their school!
They clearly intended to use their school as a stepping stone in the livestream!
Their school had no preparation and was caught off guard!
"I can't believe even Coach Yunshuang isn't his opponent!"
"Yunyang School actually has such a master!"
"Now, our school's reputation is probably going to be ruined!"
The expressions of the students and coaches below were all grim.
And that young man on the stage continued to taunt, "I wonder if anyone else wants to come up and compete! I'll accompany you to the end!"
All the coaches present had already been defeated by him.
Suddenly, the young man's gaze fell on Luo Feng, who was wearing a Taekwondo uniform. His eyes lit up, and he said, "This friend seems unfamiliar. Are you a new coach at Weiyuan Taekwondo School? Would you like to come up and compete too!"
Luo Feng's age didn't seem like a student, so he could only be a coach.
Luo Feng was stunned, "Me?"
【Ding! Mission triggered!】
【Mission content: Help the Weiyuan Taekwondo School, where your sister-in-law Li Yunshuang is, resolve the crisis and defeat the provoking coach!】
【Mission reward: 200 points!】
At this moment, the System's prompt sounded.
Luo Feng did want to get these 200 points, but he had only just started cultivating yesterday, so he wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person.
So many coaches had been defeated, how could he be an opponent?
"System, aren't you just sending me up there to get beaten?"
Luo Feng said speechlessly.
【Do you accept the mission?】
The System asked.
Luo Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, "Wait, System, don't I still have points left? Can you help me check the mall to see if there's anything that can help?"
【Searching for suitable items】
【Great Strength Pill: 20 points】
【Vajra Talisman: 28 points】
【Mingjin (Manifested Strength) Application Techniques: 100 points】
【Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques: 299 points】
...Looking at the various items listed in the mall, Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
There were indeed quite a few.
Among them, what he wanted most was the Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques.
After all, Medicinal Pills and Talismans are used up once. But techniques are something tangible that he can keep with him forever.
As for the Mingjin (Manifested Strength) Application Techniques... he felt it wasn't very reliable!
The Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques should be enough to deal with this guy.
But he... only had 190 points!
It was quite a bit short of the 299 points needed to exchange for the Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques.
At this moment, Luo Feng thought of something and asked in his mind, "System, can't I get 200 points for completing this mission? Can you let me acquire these Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques first, and then I'll make up the points after completing the mission?"
System: "..."
【Host, you're taking out a loan from me, aren't you?】
"Can it be done?"
【Yes! But I will charge an additional 10% interest! You borrowed 109 points from me, so you will need to return 10.9 points. Considering this is your first time borrowing points, I can round it down for you, so you'll return an additional 10 points, making it 119 points! Does the Host have any objections?】
"Ten percent, isn't that a bit high?"
【It's already a good deal that I didn't give you the 'nine out, thirteen back' scheme!】
Luo Feng's mouth twitched, "Alright!"
【Confirm exchange for Anjin (Hidden Strength) Application Techniques?】
"Confirm!"
The next second, a mysterious power surged within Luo Feng!
He felt completely refreshed. He thought to himself, "It's a pity I'm only in the Body Tempering realm right now, so I can't use Spells or anything like that. I can only use these Anjin (Hidden Strength) techniques for now."
He looked at the provoking young man on the stage again and smiled faintly.
"Alright, then let's have a match."
