nCrippled by Drugs (2)

n“I heard that you have a sister?”

nLin Yan replied, “Yes.”

n“The blood energy transformation will allow you to pass the Wu Yard assessment. The sooner you pass, the higher the evaluation will be. The more money you can earn in the future, the higher your status will be, and you can better protect your sister.”

nLin Yan thanked Eldest Senior Brother and asked a few more questions in detail, feeling slightly relieved.

nJust as he had thought, after his blood energy transformed, his physique became stronger. The Five Animal Hands Technique could not shake his blood energy and had no effect. It could no longer increase his proficiency.

nFortunately, he controlled his desire to advance at that time. Otherwise, the Five Animal Hands Technique would never be able to sublimate.

nAfter obtaining the answer, Lin Yan paid more attention to controlling his blood energy to boil as he immersed himself in the research of the true Five Forms again.

nAfter studying the Tiger Form, it was the Ape Form.

nThe Long-arm Ape, the Monkey King, King Kong…

nThey were all used as references. Coupled with the fact that apes were close to humans, there was a breakthrough in a few days.

nNext was the bear form. The bear’s strength was astonishing. Lin Yan also had a deep impression of it and made rapid progress.

nOnly the crane form and deer form were left. Lin Yan didn’t have a deep impression of the crane and deer, so his progress was a little slower, and he could only put in more effort. Other than taking care of Xiaozhi, he spent almost all his time.

nHowever, the consumption of the Spirit Recovery Pill was extremely high. In just half a month, he had already used six of them. Two taels of silver was too expensive.

nEarly in the morning, Lin Yan prepared to buy medicine from Pang Tong again and ask about what channels he could use to earn money.

nWhen they passed by the martial arts arena, the group of people from Wu Yard suddenly fell silent and looked at him.

nLin Yan did not understand what was going on, but he saw someone walk out and stop him.

n“Senior Brother Lin Yan.”

n“You are…”

nAs he had invested too much in the Five Animal Hands, Lin Yan had not been to the martial arts arena for a long time.

n“Senior Brother Lin Yan, right? My name is Mi Tai. I’m the new disciple this month.”

nLin Yan took a closer look. His surname was Mi? He was that genius disciple?

nMi Tai was young, about 15 or 16 years old. There was a circle of fine fur around his lips.

nHis voice was still respectful, but he raised his head slightly and sized up Lin Yan without restraint. There was a faint provocation in his posture.

n“Eldest Senior Brother said that Senior Brother Lin Yan is rather good at the Five Animal Hands Technique. Among the new batch of disciples in Wu Yard, you’re the best at it at the moment.”

nHe deliberately emphasized the words “at the moment” and continued, “I want to see what your Five Animal Hands Technique is like.”

nLin Yan looked at him speechlessly.

n“Don’t tell me Senior Brother Lin has an undeserved reputation! You don’t even dare to show me?”

nBut Lin Yan turned around and left.

n“Senior Brother Lin Yan! Do you dare to participate in the assessment with me in half a month? It hasn’t even been ten days since I entered the sect!”

nLin Yan walked away without looking back.

nAfter Lin Yan left, the other disciples surrounded him and praised him.

n“He must be afraid of Junior Brother Mi.”

n“That’s right. Last time, Senior Sister Yu even agreed to the challenge. He actually didn’t even dare to agree.”

n“With such courage, what can he achieve by practicing martial arts?”

nThe corners of Mi Tai’s mouth curled up again. He smiled and said to the other disciples beside him, “Eldest Senior Brother, you’re exaggerating. This Lin Yan is even worse than Yu Qian and Senior Sister Yu. He’s just a cowardly rat…”

nA few days later, Lin Yan learned from the chat of the others that Mi Tai was young and frivolous. He announced that he wanted all the disciples of Wu Yard to be underneath him.

nFor this reason, he challenged people everywhere and invited people to participate in the Monthly First Evaluation.

nOther than Lin Yan, several outstanding disciples of Wu Yard, including Yu Qian, had been provoked by him.

nOnly Lin Yan did not even say a harsh word and he was criticized by many disciples.

n“Do you have nothing better to do…”

nLin Yan only shook his head. He had forgotten about it after hearing it. The Five Animal Hands had entered a period of rapid improvement again. He had no time to care about such trivial matters.

nHe was so focused that he didn’t know how long it had been.

nAfter six days, the crane form was adjusted to its limit.

nIn another eight days, the deer form would also be adjusted to its limit.

nFortunately, the increase in proficiency allowed him to determine if his direction was right or wrong at any time and place. He could then improve and adjust.

nAlong with a total of 12 Spirit Recovery Pills, which cost a total of 4 taels of silver, he was able to successfully adjust all 5 forms within a short month.

nThat night, Lin Yan came to the training grounds alone again.

nThere were still some details in his deer form that could not be adjusted properly. Tonight, he was doing his final practice.

nAfter he assumed the starting stance, he gradually transformed into an elk that jumped up the mountain stream. His movements were light and carefree, and his entire body relaxed as his blood energy rose.

nAs he finished the last move, the blood energy in his body surged and was quickly absorbed by his body, turning into nourishment to strengthen his muscles and bones.

nHe retracted his fists and legs. A faint smile appeared on his face as he focused on visualizing.

nSkills: Devour (100%), Five Animal Hands (85%)

nHis proficiency level was 85%. Compared to a month ago, it seemed to have only increased by 29%, but his understanding of the Five Animal Hands had increased by more than two to three times.

nThis was because he had practiced the Five Forms independently and had not had the time to try fusing them.

nHe was confident that in four or five days, when he completely fused the five forms into one, his proficiency would definitely soar again.

nThe only pity was that although his proficiency kept increasing, the improvement of his muscles and bones was almost stagnant.

nEldest Senior Brother had said that the increase in the realm of the Five Animal Hands Technique would not affect the effect of the blood energy transformation.

nAccording to Lin Yan’s understanding, it was just like weight-bearing exercise in his previous life. After a certain amount of practice, the effect would be close to nothing. He had to increase his weight at the right time to further improve his strength.
