We are friends, and friends help each other!

"How about it, brother Feng? Can you help me out? We are still brothers, right? You are not going to decline this small request, too, right? You are not going to leave me practice alone, right?"

Yayoi looked at Lin Jiangfeng and pressed. Her face was both despicable and sincere.

As for Lin Jiangfeng, black lines crept on his forehead. But after contemplating for a while, he agreed to Yayoi's request.

"...Alright, hold it, I will help, but you will have to treat me for dinner later."

Lin Jiangfeng was a reliable person with a big heart. He couldn't bring himself to reject such a simple matter. For him, giving Yayoi some pointer was a piece of cake.

"Haha, I know I could count on you, brother Feng. After all, we are friends, and friends help each other!"

Yayoi laughed out loud.

Naturally, she was overjoyed. With Lin Jiangfeng's help, she could save a lot of SP. No matter what problems arise, it would never go wrong if she continued to hug the protagonist's golden thigh.

...

Next to the burning fire, Lin Jiangfeng tended to the pill cauldron while reading the scroll and analyzing the Demonic Bear Style.

Although Lin Jiangfeng never practiced the Demonic Bear Style, he had it all figured out in under a minute.

It was akin to a college student looking at a simple middle school math problem.

There was no challenge at all.

Under Lin Jiangfeng's guidance, Yayoi popped a Body-refining Pill in her mouth and started training. There was a warm sensation in her stomach as she quickly familiarized herself with the three techniques of the Demonic Bear Style.

Demonic Claws

Demonic Bite

Demonic Rush

Yayoi dutifully followed Lin Jiangfeng's instructions and executed the moves repeatedly.

Occasionally, Lin Jiangfeng would give a few remarks on what she did wrong, and Yayoi would adjust accordingly.

"The human body's different from that of a bear, and the creator of this Demonic Bear Style put it together based on a Demonic Bear, a demonic beast.

"A demonic beast's nature is aggressive and violent, similar to the temperament of the warlike barbarian mentioned in the scroll, but it's not the same for you.

"The mastery of this technique is separated into four levels: Elementary, Adept, Mastered, and Essence Incarnation.

"While it's nearly impossible to suddenly let go of human standards and follow raw instincts to achieve the state of Essence Incarnation, fatty Xuan, the best you could do now is to try to be as close to it as possible. To make any real process, don't hold back your strength. Although it's regular practice, give every strike the best you can."

Yayoi took Lin Jiangfeng's words seriously and trained hard.

Time passed quickly, and the repeated noises of her back and shoulder contested against the mountain wall disrupted the serene afternoon atmosphere.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Executing the move—Demonic Rush, Yayoi flew straight at the mountain, jolting the entire place as dust and tiny pebbles were sent flying.

It was as if there was a miniature earthquake.

"..."

Lin Jiangfeng was amazed by Yayoi's brute strength.

For someone who had never trained before, such power was unbelievable.

After using Demonic Rush several times, there was already a massive cavity about two or three meters wide on the mountain wall. Although her body experienced pain, Yayoi didn't care. As long as she is not dead, she could always drink a health potion afterward.

10 times!

50 times!

100 times!

500 times!

Yayoi's body continued to crash into the mountain wall.

Not only that, but Yayoi's grip strength was also equally incredible.

She was able to forcefully yank off huge chunks of wood from a thick tree trunk that would require at least two persons to hug around it. There was hardly any resistance. Her fingers just sank into the perfectly normal tree trunk and ripped out the wood.

Yayoi trained wholeheartedly for the next several hours, and her proficiency in the Demonic Bear Style made significant progress.

Due to Lin Jiangfeng's insightful guidance and her robust body foundation, what should have taken other martial artists decades without any hope to accomplish was achieved in mere minutes.

In the first half-hour, Yayoi attained the Elementary level in the Demonic Bear Style.

By the third hour into the training, Yayoi's mastery reached Adept level, and she comprehended how to control the flow of the potent blood Qi within her body.

Having learned how to manipulate her blood Qi, there was a significant transformation in the Demonic Bear Style.

"Haa..."

Looking at the cracked mountain wall in front of her, Yayoi inhaled deeply and shouted:

"Demonic Claws!"

At the moment that followed, both her forearms turned dark and were shrouded by an ominous flame-like black aura. The tip of her fingers hardened as if turning into sharp blades.

*Bam!*

When the dust settled, two deep three-meter-long gaps appeared on the mountain wall, and shortly after, a large portion of it crumpled down to pieces.

"Hehe, brother Feng, how about we spar for a bit?"

"...No, ahem!" Lin Jiangfeng coughed and laughed it off, "Don't push yourself. I see that you are tired and injured; let's leave it for another day. Yeah, hahaha..."
