Lin Zhen drove away from the villa area and arrived at Gale Martial Arts Hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Zhao Liang.

“Brother Zhao, I’ve brought the car back.”

“What’s the rush, kiddo? You could have just brought it back tomorrow morning.”

“There’s nothing to do tonight, so I might as well come and work out.”

“Good, that’s diligent of you. By the way, the guys who attacked your father have been arrested. They’re just a bunch of petty thugs. I’ve instructed the police department to take good care of these bastards. They’ll be detained for up to 15 days under public security detention. Our director of the police department is from Gale Martial Arts Hall. Without my instructions, these Dragon Slayer people won’t be able to get their guys out within 15 days. Do you want to go over there and teach those bastards a lesson?”

“I’ll definitely teach them a lesson, but I need to see Zhang Huai’s attitude first. I’ll wait and see.”

“Alright, let’s wait until Zhang Huai comes to ask for them personally, then we’ll step in and have a good talk with them. Damn, Zhang Huai has been arrogant for long enough, this time he’s lost his reason, we must take this opportunity to hit him hard.”

Lin Zhen smiled. Since Zhang Huai dared to order someone to assault his father, the situation might not be that simple. Lin Zhen’s current strength wasn’t enough. He needed to improve his strength as quickly as possible, preferably reaching the peak of a Third-Level Warrior in a short time, so he could take the Gene Potion.

The Gene Potion was a shortcut for Martial Artists to increase their strength. If the effect was good, he could advance to the peak of a Sixth-Level Warrior or even the Seventh-Level Warrior, which gave Lin Zhen a solid foundation to stand in the martial arts circle.

At that time, the martial arts hall would undoubtedly pay more attention to him, and that would be his confidence to compete with Zhang Huai.

Lin Zhen had previously purchased six months of access to the advanced training area. Now, there was hardly anyone in the martial arts hall, so he entered the advanced training area after parting with Zhao Liang.

The advanced training area was equipped with various training facilities, providing comprehensive physical training for Martial Artists.

Lin Zhen took off his coat, leaving him only in a black vest, and stood in front of an arm strength machine.

“I need to reach the peak of a Third-Level Warrior in the shortest time possible. Previously, my left-hand punch was about 300kg, and my right-hand punch was about 370kg. I need to increase both to over 390kg. My punch speed is already 7.6 punches per second, which is considered mid-level for a Third-Level Warrior. As for the most difficult to improve, nerve response, I’m actually the strongest, probably already at the peak of a Warrior Level.”

“My left hand has been weak due to lack of training, so I need to use the breathing technique to increase my strength by 90kg in a short time.”

“The breathing technique is a popular training method in the interstellar world, which involves coordinating the breath with the rhythm of the punch, allowing the internal organs and body muscles to resonate, and the heartbeat to match the rhythm of the punch, resulting in a synergistic effect. This method hasn’t yet become popular on Earth, and I might be the only one who knows it.”

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, exhaling, then inhaling again, and exhaling. His abdomen rose and fell dramatically, attempting to find the rhythm of this technique.

After dozens of repetitions, Lin Zhen gradually mastered the rhythm, with his heart and blood pulse slowly forming a steady beat. This method appeared simple, but without someone demonstrating and teaching, it would be impossible to learn.

At this moment, the light in the room was just right. If someone were beside him, they would see a strange sight.

Lin Zhen’s abdomen contracted sharply, as if his abdominal cavity had collapsed in an instant, then slowly exhaled a breath, emitting a white mist three feet out that did not disperse.

His rhythm gradually accelerated, from breathing 20 times to 30 times within a minute, and then from 30 to 40 times, faster and faster, already far beyond the normal breathing rhythm.

Eventually, his abdomen experienced rapid rises and falls, even reaching a state of tremors.

“That’s good enough!”

Lin Zhen suddenly pulled the arm strength machine with both arms, at the exact same speed as his breathing rhythm!

“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”

His arms moved quickly, the heavy weights being lifted and dropped continuously, causing an intense workout for his muscles!

Maintaining this rhythm, Lin Zhen exercised wildly and pushed his body to its limits.

Within three minutes, his black vest was soaked with sweat.

His entire upper limbs, shoulders, back and chest muscles were all well exercised.

“Using this breathing technique with exercise, the longer it’s maintained, the stronger the muscles become, but it’s important to find a balance to not strain the muscles. Fortunately, I’ve used this method multiple times before, so I can control it. It allows for maximum muscle workout without injury.”

Five minutes, seven minutes…nine minutes!

Lin Zhen’s breathing rhythm slowed down, and he stopped just before reaching ten minutes.

Due to the intense exercise, his muscles were trembling uncontrollably, but they had achieved the best workout effect.

Lin Zhen didn’t come to a complete stop, but instead, swung his arms back and forth to ease his muscles. If his fatigued muscles suddenly stopped, it would cause a certain degree of exhaustion.

After doing the relaxation exercises for about three minutes, his muscles gradually returned to their normal state.

“While my muscles are still excited, I’ll practice punching in this period of time, and not just ordinary punching, but weighted punching.”

With both hands bound with 15kg protective armguards, Lin Zhen stood in front of the punching bag and began to throw punches continuously.

One right punch, three left punches – he needed to increase the power of his left hand in a short period of time, so he had to increase the intensity of training.

The sound of “Bang, bang, bang!” echoed in the room, like raindrops. His breath also followed the rhythm of his punches. This training method from the interstellar world was highly effective, allowing his strength to steadily and slowly increase.

After hitting the sandbag thousands of times, Lin Zhen felt that his arms could no longer be lifted, so he stopped the training.

“Next, squat and then sprint back and forth for 100 meters. Endurance and physical fitness are also essential parts of a martial artist. Although it doesn’t show in the assessments, it would be a fatal weakness during actual combat.”

Using the breathing method once again, Lin Zhen continued his exercises.

It wasn’t until midnight that Lin Zhen finished this round of training.

“Now I can test the results of almost a whole night of training. I don’t need to test my neural responses, but the power and speed of my punches.”

Standing in front of the punching target, Lin Zhen first tested his punching power.

Left hand!

“311kg!”

“Not bad. The closer I get to my limit, the greater the improvement. Last time I tested it was 298, this time I increased by 13kg, which is very good.”

Now it’s the right hand.

“372Kg!”

“Not bad either. Last time I tested 368, and this time I increased by 4kg. I’m now less than 30kg away from the peak of a third-level warrior.”

Lin Zhen punched the target like lightning and finally got a result of 7.7 punches per second.

“Although I only increased by 0.1, it’s still precious. In the next training sessions, it may take several tries to improve by 0.1. If I can reach eight punches per second, I’ll be a fourth-level warrior. In the following training, I’ll aim to increase my speed to 7.9 punches per second.”

After finishing the training for punching power and speed, Lin Zhen didn’t rest right away.

As a matter of fact, there is a great advantage to being a Spiritual Mind Master: because their spiritual power is much stronger than that of normal people or ordinary martial artists, they don’t need as much sleep.

Two to three hours of sleep a day is enough, and the remaining time can be used to practice spiritual power, which is also a form of rest.

What Lin Zhen needed to do first was object control.

Spiritual power can be applied to inanimate objects, Lin Zhen at the pinnacle of the bronze level and half-step silver level, can already control some relatively light objects.

“The lethality of a Spiritual Mind Master is more powerful than the fists and weapons of a martial artist. I practiced flying knife manipulation in my previous life, but unfortunately, I awakened my spiritual power too late and didn’t have the chance to master it.”

Placing five flying knives in front of him, Lin Zhen had a target for archery practice 30 meters away.

Releasing his spiritual power, he attached it to one of the flying knives. Although his practice of spiritual power in his previous life was very ordinary, he was still familiar with these initial steps.

Although the initial experimentation was a bit unfamiliar, after more than ten minutes of repeated tests, Lin Zhen finally mastered the first flying knife.

His spiritual power was like the string of a kite, with the flying knife being the kite – an remote-controlled kite that circled around Lin Zhen’s body.

“Go!”

Lin Zhen opened his eyes, and the flying knife streaked through the air like a meteor, striking the target 30 meters away, like a bullet being fired!

“Crack!”

The target meant for shooting was torn apart by the flying knife, heading straight for the wall 100 meters behind it!
