The next day.
On the bed, Xiao Lei slowly opened his eyes under the gentle caress of the sunlight.
"Hmm, a new day, another beautiful start!" Xiao Lei sat up, yawned, and said softly.
After a simple stretch, Xiao Lei dressed, washed up, ate a quick breakfast, and then strode briskly towards the family's Fighting Techniques Hall.
The Fighting Techniques Hall was divided into east and west sections.
The east section was where the family's fighting techniques were stored, while the west section was a sizable training ground.
When Xiao Lei stepped into the Fighting Techniques Hall, there were already quite a few people training enthusiastically in the training ground.
"Cousin Xiao Lei!" "Cousin Xiao Lei!
"
"..."
Upon seeing Xiao Lei's arrival, some members of the Xiao family greeted him.
Xiao Lei was already a genius of the Xiao family, and yesterday he had displayed his prowess, crippling Galeo's limbs, which greatly enhanced his prestige among the younger generation of the Xiao family!
Xiao Lei smiled and responded with a few words, then strode towards the east side of the hall.
There, several rows of shelves stood side by side, each holding scrolls.
Xiao Lei casually picked up a black scroll from a shelf, then slowly unrolled it. On the back of the scroll appeared several large yellow characters:
Mid-level Yellow Rank: Claw Slash!
Xiao Lei opened the scroll and, after only one glance, had already memorized the entire cultivation method of Claw Slash and mastered it perfectly.
This was the terrifying power of heaven-defying comprehension!
After mastering this fighting technique called Claw Slash, Xiao Lei put it back in its original position and took out another scroll.
Low-level Yellow Rank: Stone Shattering Palm!
He flipped through the scroll again, memorized the contents, and mastered it perfectly.
Then came the third, the fourth…
Xiao Lei continued to flip through the fighting technique scrolls on the shelf, mastering more and more fighting techniques.
However, Xiao Lei's purpose was naturally not to learn these low-level fighting techniques, but to deduce and create a completely new fighting technique based on the techniques in the Xiao family's fighting technique hall!
Nearly three hours passed, and Xiao Lei finally finished reading all the scrolls on the shelf.
This also meant that he had mastered all of the Xiao family's fighting techniques!
Of course, there were a few precious fighting techniques of the Xiao family not placed in this fighting technique hall, so Xiao Lei did not learn them.
Next, he would try to combine these techniques to create a fighting technique suitable for himself.
Xiao Lei muttered to himself, and then began to try to blend the essence of the Xiao family's fighting techniques to create a new fighting technique.
[You begin to deeply study different types of fighting techniques such as Crushing Stone Palm, Crack Claw Strike, and Iron Mountain Fist, comprehending the characteristics of different fighting techniques, and trying to blend the essence of these fighting techniques. Under the influence of your extraordinary comprehension, you gradually have a clue!]
[You highly concentrate your mind, wanting to use this as an opportunity to create a completely new and powerful fighting technique. Suddenly, you have an epiphany!] [
You combined hundreds of fighting techniques, including the Crushing Stone Palm, Mountain Splitting Palm, and Iron Mountain Fist, to deduce and create the Xuan-rank high-level fighting technique, Thunderclap Palm!]
[You combined hundreds of fighting techniques, including Gale Kick, Leg Splitting Strike, and Lightning Step, to deduce and create the Xuan-rank high-level fighting technique, Wind and Thunder Kick!]
"Hoo," after a long while, Xiao Lei exhaled a long breath, stopping the deduction and creation of new fighting techniques.
The overall quality of the Xiao family's fighting techniques was still somewhat poor; being able to deduce and create a Xuan-rank high-level fighting technique was already quite good.
With these two Xuan-rank high-level fighting techniques, it was enough for him for the time being.
Having achieved his goal, Xiao Lei prepared to leave the Fighting Technique Hall.
Just then, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted over.
A girl of about fourteen years old appeared before Xiao Lei with light, graceful steps.
Although the girl wasn't considered a stunning beauty, her still-childish face contained a faint allure.
This girl was Xiao Mei, who was quite popular within the Xiao family.
"Is there something you need?" Xiao Lei glanced at Xiao Mei and asked casually.
Xiao
Mei smiled and said, "Cousin Xiao Lei, I heard that you taught Galeo a lesson yesterday, and you used Iron Mountain Fist."
"I've recently been practicing Iron Mountain Fist, but there are some parts I haven't fully grasped. Could you please give me some pointers, Cousin Xiao Lei?"
Xiao Lei initially wanted to refuse Xiao Mei's opportunistic nature, but he changed his mind at the last minute. "Sure, let's go to the training ground."
"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Lei!" Xiao Mei was overjoyed to hear Xiao Lei agree.
She was actually using Xiao Lei's guidance as an excuse to get closer to him.
Back then, when Xiao Yan was the Xiao family's number one genius, Xiao Mei actively befriended him.
Later, Xiao Yan's cultivation regressed, and he became known as a good-for-nothing, so Xiao Mei quickly distanced herself from him and turned her attention to Xiao Lei.
Unfortunately, Xiao Lei never gave her a chance, leaving Xiao Mei frustrated.
This time, Xiao Lei actually agreed to guide her. In Xiao Mei's mind, was Xiao Lei moved by her persistence?
If Xiao Lei knew her thoughts, he would only tell her: You're overthinking it!
Xiao Lei's reason for agreeing to guide Xiao Mei was actually to try his luck.
Xiao Mei was merely a prelude; the other Xiao family disciples in the training ground were his targets for a lucky draw.
"Try attacking me with your Iron Mountain Fist," Xiao Lei said to Xiao Mei upon arriving at the training ground.
"Cousin Xiao Lei, be careful," Xiao Mei warned, then clenched her right fist, a sharp whooshing sound rang out, and she swiftly punched towards Xiao Lei's shoulder!
Seeing Xiao Mei's fist coming, Xiao Lei stood still, his right palm extending, striking first and easily blocking it.
"Bang!"
Fist and palm collided, a muffled sound echoing across the training ground.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
In the next instant, Xiao Mei was thrown back several steps, her blood surging within her.
[Ding! You touched Xiao Mei, obtaining one Qi Gathering Powder!]
At the same time, the system's familiar notification sound rang in Xiao Lei's mind.
A Qi Gathering Powder, better than nothing!
Xiao Lei thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless as he continued practicing with Xiao Mei for a while.
"That's enough," Xiao Lei said, stopping Xiao Mei from continuing her attack after no further rewards were given. He then gave her a few simple pointers.
Although it was just a few simple pointers, given Xiao Lei's mastery of the Iron Mountain Fist, even a few simple pointers gave Xiao Mei a sense of sudden enlightenment. "Thank you, Cousin Xiao Lei!"
After giving Xiao Mei his pointers, Xiao Lei then gave some pointers to the younger members of the Xiao family in the training ground, naturally taking the opportunity to try his luck with the lottery.
[Ding! You touched Xiao Shan and received 10,000 gold coins!]
[Ding! You touched Xiao Hong and received one level-one wood-type magic core!]
[Ding! You touched Xiao Dong and received one Star Soul Pill! Note: After consumption, it can increase soul strength!]
...
These mechanical voices sounded quite pleasant to Xiao Lei's ears.
However, most of the Xiao family members present only managed to get one reward, and some didn't even get one.
This left Xiao Lei with a slight sense of regret.
"Alright, that's all for today. We'll train together again when we have time."
After failing to obtain a reward for over half an hour, Xiao Lei ended his guidance for the day.
"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Lei!"
Everyone had received guidance from Xiao Lei, and upon hearing his words, they stopped and thanked him.
"Hehe, we're all brothers of the same clan, so we should help each other. The stronger the clan, the more preferential treatment we'll receive, right?"
Xiao Lei chuckled, offering a pep talk to the Xiao family members, before turning and leaving the Arena.
Hearing Xiao Lei's words,
the Xiao family members admired him even more. As word of Xiao Lei's actions in the Arena spread,
everyone from the elders to the younger generation praised him highly!
