My skills have special effects.

Chapter 55 Xie Lingyan

Qinghong Martial Arts.

Lin Yan showed the concierge the first-class order he had prepared before, similar to a VIP, and went straight in.

The Qinghong Martial Arts Hall occupies a small area. It is a courtyard structure. There is a large martial arts arena in the courtyard, complete with equipment, and some people are practicing duels.

The rooms on all sides are divided into seven or eight separate martial arts halls.

Lin Yan looked at it, and wanted to go directly to the person in charge, but when he passed the tea room, he stopped.

On the left side of the tea room, there is a wooden table for four people, on which there is a porcelain kettle and several cups of tea cups.

In front of the wooden table, a vigorous old man was holding a book, flipping through it while drinking tea. The name of the book was "History of Medicinal Materials".

Coincidentally, Mr. Liu was there.

Lin Yan walked over and said, "Old Liu."

"Oh, it's Xiaoshi."

Lin Yan's pseudonym here is Shimu.

He said respectfully: "Old Liu, I just heard something today and I want to ask you for advice."

This Mr. Liu was the doctor he met in Qinghong Martial Arts Academy. He is a doctor from a big medical center in Neifang.

Lin Yan learned a lot of news from him, including the records of medicinal materials, which he also lent Lin Yan to read.

At this time, I happened to ask him about the spiritual essence.

"what?"

"Have you heard of spirit marrow?"

"Spiritual marrow?" Elder Liu raised his charming eyes, "Did you hear about the incident between the Hong family and Gan Yang?"

"Exactly."

Recently, the news that Gan Yang stole the spirit marrow has spread, and many people have heard of it, so Lin Yan asked with confidence. "It is said that this spirit marrow can increase aptitude and is very precious, so I am a little curious."

"Then you are asking the wrong person. This spirit marrow should not be some medicinal material. The source is unknown. I don't know exactly what it is."

"That's it."

But Old Liu changed the topic again: "But if you have an idea, I do know that there is a place where you can get the spirit."

Lin Yan's heart moved: "Where?"

"Wait for the genius battle."

"A battle of fixed talents? Isn't it a battle of fixed ranks?"

"The two are different, but very similar. The fixed-rank genius battle is where the major cities select geniuses, conduct a contest, and determine the rank of the city. Generally, it is a few months later than the fixed-rank battle."

Lin Yan was surprised. Apart from the fixed rank battle, he did not expect that there would be a fixed rank genius battle.

But if he is asked to fight people for no reason, even for the sake of the soul, it is absolutely impossible for the rank of the city.

Thanks to Mr. Liu for clarifying the confusion, Lin Yan turned around and went out, but he still didn't know what the soul essence was.

"but……"

He suddenly thought of Eldest Brother.

His arm, and the dejected look that he showed from time to time...

"Could it be that senior brother has participated in this fixed-level genius battle? After you get back, you can ask him about it. Maybe he knows what the soul is."

When Lin Yan went out, he happened to meet a bald man.

This person's name is Zhou Meng, and he is from the Qinghong Martial Arts Academy. He is responsible for answering questions and arranging personnel.

After Lin Yan greeted him, he put forward his needs.

"What! Gangjing? You want someone from Gangjing to test your strength?!"

Zhou Meng was taken aback.

"good."

"Brother Shimu, don't blame me for talking too much. I know that you have already reached the top level in the strength realm, but in the rigid realm, that is a completely different level!"

"I know."

"Let's put it this way, even Master Murong, the most powerful martial artist in our gymnasium, can't do five moves under the hands of a real Gang!"

"I see."

"You can't even beat Master Murong, and your strength is even more..."

Lin Yan: "..."

He knew that Zhou Meng felt that he was too ambitious, so he kindly persuaded him.

Immediately, his eyes swept over, and he saw a black iron stake that he had seen at the senior brother's place on the edge of the yard, standing there quietly and emitting luster.

Not much to say, walked over in three or two steps, the surging energy and blood circulated rapidly, hit with all his strength, and hit the center of the iron and wooden pile with a bang.

Bang!
A very muffled loud noise startled Zhou Meng, and even the martial artists who were practicing duel in the central martial arts field were all terrified and turned their heads.

When Lin Yan retracted his punches, they saw the iron stake hit by Lin Yan in the training ground, their pupils trembled and they gasped.

I saw that in the middle of the iron wooden post, Lin Yan's fist made a fist mark nearly two knuckles deep!

This is Ironwood!
Its hardness is not as good as steel, but its toughness is still higher.

The most powerful martial artist they have ever seen, left a light mark on the iron and wooden stake.

Can make such a deep impression, only the strength of the first class!

"Old Zhou, is this punch enough?"

Zhou Meng's throat rolled, his face turned pale, and his expression was unconsciously respectful: "Enough, enough. Brother Shimu...Mr. Shi, just wait a moment, I will return right away."

After that, run in small steps and go to the inside.

Not long after, a beautiful and mature figure in red clothes came slowly.

Seeing Lin Yan, this person showed a slight surprise on his beautiful face: "It's you."

The person who came was the curvaceous woman in red that Lin Yan met in the underground black market, Jiaer Cave.

Today she didn't wear a mask, but wore a Tsing Yi military uniform and a small coat over her head. Her cheeks were as smooth as jade, and she was as beautiful as floodlight, exuding a dignified and mature charm.

"Is it you who want to conduct a rigid test?"

"Yes, Miss Xie."

After staying in the Qinghong Martial Arts School for a while, Lin Yan already knew that this woman's name was Xie Lingyan, and she was the senior sister of the Qinghong Martial Arts Academy.

At the age of 26, he was already an extremely powerful warrior in the Gang Realm, and he was a well-known genius warrior in the entire Ding'an City.

Zhou Meng followed Xie Lingyan, pointing to the deep fist marks on the iron stake: "This Mr. Shi just made it."

The astonishment on Xie Lingyan's face was even heavier, and he looked at Lin Yan, as if he couldn't believe that he had made such great progress in just half a month.

But she didn't say much, Qiong Shou nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "Today, the master in the hall will accompany the owner to the city lord's mansion for a banquet, and I will test it for you. Come with me."

Lin Yan followed Xie Lingyan into a separate martial arts training hall on the side.

This martial arts training hall is different from the martial arts training hall that Lin Yan stayed in before. The walls and the floor are all paved with a kind of black rough stone, which looks very hard.

"Gangjing is powerful, every move is powerful, and it is easy to be broken in ordinary martial arts halls.

"The surroundings of this martial arts training hall are paved with black gold stones, which are harder than iron wood, so you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about damaging the walls."

Lin Yan saw that there were many cracks and fist marks on the rough ground and walls, which seemed to be left by the predecessors.

"In addition, let me tell you that just one test, two taels of silver, has been recorded."

"This price is not expensive."

In fact, it is expensive, but in Qinghong Wuguan, the price is very cheap in comparison.

Xie Lingyan nodded, and said softly: "For the strength test, we have all kinds of detailed items in the library. But there are no additional items for the hard test, so only the basic fee is charged."

Lin Yan nodded.

Xie Lingyan pulled out a black ribbon, stroked her long hair, revealing her slender and fair neck, and tied it behind her head.

The soft jade hands unbuttoned the cumbersome little clothes, revealing the inner clothes, and the slender waist was tightly squeezed by the silver silk waist, which perfectly interpreted the twigs bearing fruit.

The red lips parted slightly: "Okay, come on."

Lin Yan restrained his thoughts and took a slight breath: "I've offended you!"

His eyes were suddenly sharp, and he punched like a cannon, hitting Xie Lingyan directly in the face.

"Good punch!"

Xie Lingyan's expression became slightly more serious, and he blocked with a cross arm.

Lin Yan hit Xie Lingyan's arm with his fist. Her arm was slender, but Lin Yan couldn't move it at all, as if hitting extremely hard steel.

Xie Lingyan said softly: "Be careful."

After finishing speaking, he kicked his feet, the hem of his clothes fluttered, his toes were stretched straight, he drew a perfect curve, and kicked towards Lin Yan's side with a gust of fragrant wind.

Lin Yan didn't dare to neglect, he folded his hands to defend.

That kick came softly, seemingly weak, but when he really touched it, Lin Yan's expression changed instantly, and a layer upon layer of strength, like a wave, came continuously.

Lin Yan couldn't hold on at all, he staggered and fell a few strides with all his strength, hitting the wall before stopping.

Xie Lingyan said softly: "Your punching strength is good, but your use of strength is too rough.

"The reason why the Gang Jing is called the Gang Jing is because the strength of the whole body is integrated, and the strength is cultivated, so that the attack and defense far exceed the strength of the Jing."

Lin Yan nodded, only he knew in his heart that he had no strength at all.

Shaking his slightly numb arm, Lin Yan calmly said, "Come again."

……

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Lingyan grabbed Lin Yan's arm sideways to release the force. Lin Yan quickly turned around and pushed along.

Not wanting to face the bulging hills in Xie Lingyan's chest, Lin Yan was startled, turned slightly sideways, passed her side, and punched the wall.

Kerala.

A fist was punched on the wall, and cracks spread around the fist.

"Okay, let's stop here..." Xie Lingyan put down his arms across his chest, a hint of surprise and appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Come and sit down."

"it is good."

Lin Yan was panting, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his hands were congested and red, which was a sign of the extreme circulation of Qi and blood.

On the other hand, Xie Lingyan didn't blush or breathe.

In the contest just now, she was obviously lenient, but she still crushed Lin Yan. Even if she hit a punch occasionally, it was like hitting a high mountain, unable to cause any damage at all.

Xie Lingyan took a piece of paper and said while recording, "Your strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, or in other words, too obvious.

"The advantage is that your fist strength is good, and your blood is majestic. When you swing a punch, you can even feel a sense of oppression. It can be seen that you are good at attacking.

"But the shortcomings are also very prominent. You are not hard enough."

Lin Yan: "...?"

Xie Lingyan took no time to rush: "Your strength is weaker than anything I've ever seen.

"Did you get injured during the breakthrough? Or something else?
"A master of the rigid state, when he is running vigorously, his fists should be like copper and iron, and his feet should be like fine steel, so that he can hit the metal and iron swords and spears with his fleshy palms without injury.

"But your strength is too loose. So even if you punch me with great strength, it's like an egg hitting a rock. You can't hurt me, you can only hurt yourself.

"It's also because your strength is too scattered, so your fist hits the wall. Although it breaks the wall, your palm will also be bruised. This is all a manifestation of your strength."

Lin Yan turned over his palm, and there were slight scratches on the knuckles of the fist. He controlled the blood, but did not try to restore it.

"So to sum up, you can win the strength realm, but when facing other rigid realms, you are easily injured, and the chance of winning is very small."

With that said, she finished writing on the paper and handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took the paper, on which he wrote gracefully and eloquently the abbreviated version of what Xie Lingyan said just now.

The Gang Realm is not like the Strength Realm, there is no clear division of strength, but Lin Yan must be the existence with the lowest strength among all the Gang Realm.

Of course, he wasn't really just in the right place.

Putting away the paper, Lin Yan nodded to thank Xie Lingyan and prepared to leave.

Xie Lingyan twitched the ribbon on her head, her jet-black hair poured down like a waterfall, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she smiled lightly: "By the way, the extra meal in the afternoon should have arrived, and it tastes good. If you have nothing to do, you might as well eat some Let's go."
