Last night, we easily survived the Night of Survival, with no one dying in Wuyin Village, which is truly a miracle.

That evening, Su Can called everyone, went door-to-door, gathering all the villagers to hold a celebratory bonfire party and take out all the reserved beast meat to celebrate.

The joyful laughter and singing during the celebration lasted until dawn, the splendid bonfire burning bright through the night, turning into a pile of black ashes only at sunrise.

Wuyin, Wanderers, Xinlong, Quanzhou, people from the four different factions, through that night of mingling, managed to dissolve the indistinct barriers between them.

Morning, Main Courtyard.

After passing his first Night of Survival, Su Lin did not slack off. Even after a night of celebration, he woke up early to train.

Lately, his power had been growing rapidly, and he had acquired the deadly weapons of Tap Dance and Divine Speed, but he hadn’t had the time to consolidate them carefully.

Due to too many affairs at month’s end, one after another, he couldn’t spare the focus.

Now that the Night of Survival was over, he finally had the time and energy to consolidate his own strength.

Su Lin completed a whole set of the Thirty-Six Stance Skills. As he finished the Dawn Breathing Technique, a stream of mist, like a white arrow, lightly escaped his mouth.

Aside from the subtle jumping electric arcs, there was a faint steam surrounding his body.

Su Lin flexed his tendons and bones, producing thunderous crackling sounds from his body.

Feeling the endless Qi and Blood surging through him like a mighty river, he nodded in satisfaction, silently thinking:

"The Qi and Blood are about to be complete. A meal of Treasure Meat will suffice. Then, I’ll prepare to close up and attack the Bone Lock."

A good twenty pieces of Treasure Meat; yesterday, he had started eating freely, consuming about ten pounds of Treasure Meat each meal.

A single piece of Treasure Meat was enough to last him five or six meals.

If he didn’t fill his Qi and Blood soon, his foundation would truly be beyond saving.

Now the Qi and Blood were complete, nearly within reach.

The Tier Two Treasure Meat brought by Chen Xinting was crucial for him to attack the Bone Lock.

"Hope everything goes smoothly."

Su Lin wasn’t pessimistic; it was just that he genuinely had no confidence in his own foundation.

However, once he truly broke through to Bone Lock and became a First-Transformed Martial Artist, he would be able to refresh an additional trait.

Having just acquired the amazing trait of Tap Dance, Su Lin couldn’t help feeling anticipation.

Now there were two golden traits, one being "Big Buy Special," and the other "Tap Dance," and the effects of both were genuinely divine!

What if I somehow got another one?

Thought Su Lin greedily.

After a moment, he pressed down his restlessness and turned aside, taking up the Bamboo Pole Blade hanging from the wall.

Just as he was about to start practicing with the blade, he suddenly recalled the pair he encountered yesterday from the Town-level, along with the new ingenious way to manipulate Qi and Blood they had troubled him with.

The abundant Qi and Blood silently streamed from Su Lin’s muscular arms onto the Bamboo Pole Blade.

Golden lightning patterns lit up inch by inch on the dark blade, the light dazzling to behold.

"That person seemed to call this move ’Armor’, corresponding with ’Soldier’?"

Although Su Lin verbally belittled the man’s ’Armor’ during the fight yesterday, in truth, that ’Armor’ was incredibly effective.

The Qi and Blood armor covering the entire body had exceptional defense, probably even capable of blocking sniper bullets without issue!

After activating the Tap Dance attack speed boost, Su Lin chopped the man’s ’Armor’ over a hundred times before finally breaking it.

This was partly because his Tendon Lock Qi and Blood, compared to a First-Transformed Martial Artist, was indeed too weak.

But it also indirectly showed the strength of ’Armor’.

To know, with the Bamboo Pole Blade, a hundred chops could probably turn a piece of iron into powder!

"If I could learn it too, then I could directly charge into the leader’s crowd with ease."

Su Lin half-closed his eyes, feeling the torrent of Qi and Blood rushing within his body.

Condensing Qi and Blood externally into an armor shape.

This concept is somewhat abstract.

But just like the first time Su Lin saw his uncle perform ’Transport’ and ’Soldier’ in front of him, he instantly grasped the trick within.

At this moment, he recalled the first glance he saw the man perform ’Armor’ yesterday.

From deep within his consciousness, a remarkably intuitive, heaven-sent insight arose, telling him how he should execute it.

Countless imagined scenes flashed rapidly in his mind.

Qi and Blood, following his thoughts, were boiling and surging like magma, flooding towards his limbs and bones.

"Zzz——!"

Numerous arcs of electricity danced wildly like golden snakes, crackling and jumping across various parts of his body, instantly riddling his clothes with holes.

Tendons, bones, and flesh vibrated intensely under the impact of Qi and Blood with Thunder Nature, with a continuous popping sound echoing like popcorn exploding within his body.

"That’s it!"

Su Lin abruptly opened his eyes, with purple-blue arcs flashing at the corners of his eyes, an armor of condensed electric light suddenly appeared all over him!

"It’s done!!"

Right at that moment, Mengyi and Dao Guan silently stepped into the main courtyard, lifting the curtain of the courtyard door, witnessing Su Lin’s body clad in a sparkling thunder armor.

"Huh?" The pair simultaneously voiced their surprise.

Seeing the two intrude, Su Lin was not taken aback and withdrew the thunder armor on his body, nodding and smiling at Mengyi and Dao Guan:

"You two arrived just in time, how about guiding me on the Qi and Blood technique I just learned?"

Being a Tendon Lock Martial Artist, when Mengyi and Dao Guan hadn’t purposely hidden their aura with ’Hidden’, he had long noticed their arrival.

But he didn’t stop himself from executing ’Armor’.

Because of his weak foundation, he must demonstrate his talent in utilizing Qi and Blood to raise the evaluations others hold of him.

When it’s time to be low-key, one should indeed be low-key, but when it’s time to flaunt one’s capital, Su Lin wouldn’t stubbornly pretend.

In dealing with others, especially with those of higher status and power, he can’t afford to show weakness.

Sure enough, Su Lin’s exposure left Mengyi greatly astonished as he exclaimed:

"The ingenious methods of ’Armor’ were only developed in the last year, you shouldn’t have touched them!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He suspiciously looked at Dao Guan:

"Did you teach him?"

"Amitabha Buddha..." Dao Guan chanted with hands together, suppressing his shock, glancing at Mengyi unhappily: "Do you think I have the time?"

He paused before adding:

"Even if I did, we’ve been here for less than two weeks."

"... That’s true."

Both directed their puzzled, confused gaze at Su Lin.

Su Lin understood the layered meanings in their conversation, that ’Armor’ seemed impossible to learn in just one or two weeks.

Which was just right.

"Gentlemen, there is something I may need to inform you." Su Lin composed himself.

Seeing Su Lin did not reveal the source of ’Armor’, but instead brought up another matter, Mengyi raised his eyebrows:

"What is it?"

"Yesterday, I killed two people from the Town-level camp." Su Lin stated, shocking them with his words.
