Chapter 63: 63, Rapid Progress

“Inconvenient?” Lin Qing looked at Zhao Jiayi and said, “It’ll only take a month or two.”

“Uh…” Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll look at the apartment tomorrow. Is the one next to yours for rent?”

“The place next to mine happens to be vacant,” Lin Qing replied. “I’ll talk to the aunt next door for you, and I’ll cover the rent.”

Zhao Jiayi acknowledged with an “Oh” and then asked, “I occasionally need to go back home to see my dad, is that okay?”

“You can go back anytime during work hours,” Lin Qing nodded.

He then asked, “But about moving in next to me, has your dad agreed?”

...

“My dad will definitely agree,” Zhao Jiayi nodded.

“Then it’s settled.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly and continued, “However, I need to set some ground rules with you beforehand. While you’re living next to me, you can’t use telekinesis to spy on me. Also, I’ll establish some codes with you in advance. In some situations, you can send me coded messages, or remind me via your subconscious.”

Zhao Jiayi blinked and asked, “Can I e over to your place to hang out often?”

“e over to my place?” Lin Qing looked at his surroundings and said, “There’s not much to do at my place.”

“Then do you watch dramas?” Zhao Jiayi asked eagerly. “I’ve discovered many dramas from a hundred years ago, but I don’t know which ones are good. Can you watch them with me?”

Lin Qing glanced at her and replied, “I need to cultivate; I don’t have time.”

“Oh…” A hint of disappointment showed in Zhao Jiayi’s eyes.

Lin Qing feared she would not focus on her work and reluctantly said, “I don’t have time to pick and choose with you, but I know which ones are good. If I really have nothing else to do, I can join you for a retrospective.”

“Really?”

Zhao Jiayi’s eyes brightened.

“Aren’t you nineteen? Why are you acting like a child?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask.

“I’ve only been exposed… to society for a few months,” Zhao Jiayi said cautiously. “Before that, I seldom met anyone other than my dad.”

“No wonder…” Lin Qing gave her a measured look.

…

That night.

“bat Skill ‘Power’, mastered,” Lin Qing opened his eyes, feeling the mysterious energy inside him change once again, and couldn’t help but smile.

After the enhancements from mastering the ‘Instinct’, ‘Speed’, and ‘WeChat’ bat skills of the same series, his patibility with the ‘Free Body’ series bat skills indeed improved a lot.

This time, it only took a single day to achieve mastery.

“The debt of bat Skill ‘WeChat’… was already paid off yesterday.”

Lin Qing didn’t hesitate and silently called in his mind:

“Order.”

“Borrow bat Skill ‘Power’ in advance!”

The next moment, countless indescribable pieces of information flooded into Lin Qing’s mind.

According to the conjecture of Entropy—

With his talent and patibility with the ‘Free Body’ series of bat skills, to perfect bat Skill ‘Power’, he needed to pletely integrate the heavy giant strength transformed by the mysterious energy into his body and be able to lift weights as if they were light, reaching the peak of strength in an instant.

pleting this 29 times in a row would perfectly integrate the variations of bat Skill ‘Power’ into his instinct.

Then, a surge of memories suddenly emerged in Lin Qing’s mind.

It was his memory of attempting to cultivate bat Skill ‘Power,’ from basic grasp to perfection, practicing over and over until the skill’s variations were seamlessly integrated into his instinct.

Simultaneously, a wild and powerful force like a mighty river surged from within Lin Qing, rampaging wildly throughout his body.

This was pure strength!

bat Skill ‘Speed’ was pure speed, while bat Skill ‘Power’ was pure strength!

After a long moment, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes.

“Let’s give it a try…”

Lin Qing reached out to pick up the dumbbells he used for warming up and exerted a slight pressure with his hands—

The pure iron dumbbells instantly began to twist and deform in his grasp, and as he increased the pressure, they were eventually squashed into a flat disk.

“The strength is indeed substantial,” Lin Qing mented with a click of his tongue.

It should be noted that even those from the Patrol Department who had only mastered bat Skill ‘Power’ could increase their sheer strength by three to four times!

And he had refined his skill to the extreme, his sheer strength alone could increase seven to eightfold!

Of course, the bat Skill “Min” had already doubled his strength, and it could stack with “Power,” changing from 2 times to 8-9 times, so in terms of strength, he was approximately four to five times his original.

Logically speaking, with such a significant increase in strength, his speed should also be much faster.

However, the bat Skill “Power” also made the body heavier and difficult to stretch, so even though his strength had increased, there was almost no improvement in speed unless he activated other bat Skills.

After all, the bat Skill “Power” was purely for enhancing strength.

“Thankfully I learned ‘WeChat’ in advance, it’s quite simple to control.”

Lin Qing revealed a slight smile, seemingly unfazed by the extremeness of the bat Skill “Power.”

With such a huge increase in strength, what was there to be unsatisfied about?

His physical quality was originally about four times that of an ordinary person; now, with all bat Skills activated, he could easily lift a small truck!

He also possessed super-fast speed, agility, and intricate control!

“Aside from other aspects, there’s been a significant increase in offensive capability.”

Lin Qing tried a few air punches, satisfied with the results, not too keen on testing the destructive powers at home.

With his current strength, just one punch was enough to bring down a load-bearing wall.

The enhancement of bat power brought by the bat Skills was indeed astonishing.

“This is only the simplified version of the bat Skill; how terrifying must the original version be?”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim.

In fact…

According to the introduction to the Free Body Series Battle Technique, the original “Free Body” was the foundation for one of the top three bat Skills at the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall.

“I wonder if there’s a chance to learn that top three ranked bat Skill…” Lin Qing thought to himself.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t even learn the original version for now, and it was of no use to think too far ahead.

“Offense, speed, agility, control… all plete.”

Lin Qing pondered, “The only things missing are defense and variability, which bat Skill ‘Steel’ and ‘Soft’ can make up for.”

The Free Body Series Battle Technique was indeed perfect.

All aspects were well-covered.

The only pity was the lack of resistance to spiritual factors.

“Learning them all won’t take long.”

Lin Qing looked forward with anticipation, “With my current patibility with the Free Body Series, I just need to refine the bat Skill ‘Power’ 29 times perfectly to clear the debt.”

He could refine a bat Skill perfectly five times a day, which meant—

Only six days!

Just six days to clear the debt, and then he could learn “Steel” and “Soft.”

Moreover, the next time would be even faster.

“In six days, I’ll learn ‘Steel.'”

Lin Qing decided to himself, “Anyway, headquarters is already aware that I’ve refined ‘Min’ to the Instinct Level, and refining a new bat Skill faster is just normal.”

Once a bat Skill was refined to the Instinct Level, it triggered a chain reaction—achieving instinct with one, the next would only be faster, and the speed kept increasing.

…

Days gradually settled down.

The Yuanhong Society seemed to have no intention of retaliating, or perhaps they were still selecting a new leader.

Lin Qing didn’t need to go out on Patrol every day, just refine bat Skills to pay off his debts and consume the High Energy Release Liquid sent over by the headquarters’ transport vehicles, to repay the Version 7 debts of the bat Skills.

Six days later.

On the afternoon of February 22.

Inside the War Skill Secret Room at the Xiao Shan District branch.

“You’ve mastered it in just six days?”

In the dim room, that hoarse voice clicked its tongue in amazement, “Refined to the Instinct Level, the patibility bonus is indeed not small; it seems… it won’t take too long for your bat Skill ‘Speed’ to reach the Instinct Level as well.”

Although the bat Skill “Speed” was learned twenty-some days later, with the patibility bonus, the time required to refine the next bat Skill to the Instinct Level would also be reduced.

“I feel it too.”

Lin Qing smiled and said, “I’m here today to learn ‘Steel.'”
