Chapter 31: Junior Brother, You Scared Me

The Chinese name for the Dragon Hibernation technique is Zhelongshu Zhuanggong, you'll see it often in the future

...

Xue Jing maintained the standing posture of the Dragon Hibernation Technique motionlessly.

As he breathed, countless hidden nodes inside his body were constantly stimulated. If all these nodes were connected with a line, it would be found that their shape resembled that of a realistic-looking dragon.

As time passed, Xue Jing felt his flesh begin to heat up, and prickle as if being pierced by countless needles. The blood in his body circulated at high speed, producing a subtle sound like the gurgling of a stream.

After only half an hour, he was sweating profusely, exhaling almost boiling hot air from his mouth and nose. Not only were the nodes in his body tingling, itchy, and hot, but they also felt swollen and painful.

Xue Jing's breathing became disordered, and he could no longer maintain the posture of the Dragon Hibernation Technique. He sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, and fell into a state of hypoxia as if his lungs were squeezed dry.

[You have practiced the Dragon Hibernation Technique once, and gained +98 fitness experience points]

[You have practiced the Dragon Hibernation Technique once, and gained +89 strength experience points]

Xue Jing was pleasantly surprised when he opened the panel and took a look.

Just half an hour of practicing the Dragon Hibernation Technique can yield 98 fitness experience points and 89 strength experience points at the same time!

The efficiency is twice as fast as exercising directly in the gym, and you can also gain strength experience points as a bonus simultaneously!

"Good, good, you lasted so long in your first try of using the Zhelongshu Zhuanggong. Just as I thought, you are highly suited for the Canglong style."

Li Qi, sitting in a wheelchair, exclaimed with joy.

"Besides you, the one with the best physical talent among the direct disciples is your senior brother Meng Boshang. When he practiced the Zhelongshu Zhuanggong for the first time, he lasted for twenty-three minutes."

"You lasted ten minutes longer than him."

"But enough about that, how is it, have you memorized the specific steps of the Zhelongshu?" Li Qi asked.

Xue Jing took a breath, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

"I remember them all. Thank you, Master."

The Dragon Hibernation technique has countless complex details. Getting the posture right is challenging, not to mention the stimulation of the nodes by the circulation of energy and blood in the body, which is more than ten times more difficult than the posture itself. If such a complex stance were practiced with ordinary methods, it's uncertain how long it would take to memorize.

But Li Qi relied on his miraculous strength control. He just shook Xue Jing's hand and made him perform the most standard Zhelong technique stance, allowing him to focus on memorizing all the steps. This teaching method is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Good, good body and good brain," Li Qi nodded with great satisfaction.

Xue Jing rested for a while, breathing steadily, and after feeling himself recover, he asked, "Master, what should I learn next?"

Li Qi shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to practice martial arts too hastily. The Hibernation Dragon Technique places a great burden on the body. People with insufficient talent will be seriously injured after standing for a few minutes. Although you have good talent, you cannot over-train in the initial stage."

"I have asked Shanying to prepare the 'Sleeping Dragon Cream.' I will ask her to help you massage it later to recover your body. You can continue to practice tomorrow."

Xue Jing hesitated and said, "Let Senior Sister Zhu help me massage?"

Thinking of that young girl... I don't know if I hurt her yesterday.

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "She took the initiative to offer to help you."

"Shanying is one year younger than you and has a rare pure and innocent heart. Although she is nominally your senior sister, there are inevitably some things that need your care."

"You have become my disciple, and the child finally has a playmate of the same age as her. She will be closer to you. You two should get along well."

Xue Jing nodded in response.

"Ahaha, the Dragon Sleeping Cream is here~"

As if waiting for this opportunity, a young and cheerful girl's voice suddenly came from the door of the training room. Zhu Shanying walked in holding a fist-sized porcelain white medicine bottle. Her young face was full of smiles, and she didn't seem to be affected by being defeated by Xue Jing yesterday.

"Well, you young people should have a good chat. Your master got up very early this morning and needs to take a nap..."

Li Qi waved his hand and turned his wheelchair out of the training room.

As soon as he left, Zhu Shanying looked at Xue Jing.

"Come on, little brother, take off your shirt and come over."

Sitting on the ground in a duck-like posture, Zhu Shanying patted the floor and motioned for Xue Jing to sit in front of her. The girl, wearing a slim-fitting training suit, had her hair tied into a bun, In the duck-sitting posture that showed off her feminine beauty, she had a kind of immature but seductive charm.

"..."

Xue Jing always felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to refuse at this time, so he could only nod his head, grabbing the bottom edge of his T-shirt with both hands and lifting it up, exposing his perfect upper body that looked as if it was forged by a god.

"Wow."

Zhu Shanying exclaimed.

"You are quite talented, little junior brother."

"Senior Sister Zhu, you are too kind." Xue Jing came to the girl, turned his back to her, and sat cross-legged.

After a while, Xue Jing felt a pair of soft and slightly cold hands applying ointment on his back.

Wherever it was applied, there was a hot feeling as if it was smeared with wind oil.

In silence, Xue Jing thought for a moment and said,

"Sister, I'm really sorry for yesterday. Are you not injured?"

Zhu Shanying paused while applying the ointment, and then said with a smile, "Of course not."

"But although my body is not injured, my heart is a little hurt."

The girl's fingers wandered on Xue Jing's back, and suddenly she pressed hard on a certain place. The force penetrated into his body, and Xue Jing gasped in pain on the spot.

Zhu Shanying's smiling voice sounded in Xue Jing's ears, her breath as sweet as orchid.

"Junior brother, don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite competitive."

The girl turned her fingers and scraped Xue Jing's muscles hard.

"Don't move, the Sleeping Dragon Ointment can penetrate deep into the body in this way, and the effect will be good."

"..."

Xue Jing turned his head and looked at the smiling Zhu Shanying, without saying a word, silently enduring the 'massage' that was obviously a little vengeful.

After a while, the girl couldn't hold it anymore.

"...Why don't you say something?" The girl said coquettishly.

Xue Jing said in a low voice "Nothing, as long as you are happy, senior sister."

Zhu Shanying "..."

"Okay, it's my fault. I lost to you because of my carelessness, but I still wanted to take revenge and took the opportunity to deliberately tease you, junior brother..."

"Please don't be angry with me..." Zhu Shanying said aggrievedly.

Xue Jing was speechless.

After thinking for a while, he said softly "I'm not angry with you, it's just that it does hurt a little, so I can't help but lower my voice. Go on senior sister, don't worry about me."

Seeing that he was really not angry, Zhu Shanying breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "That's good junior brother, you almost scared me..."
