Chapter 72 Section 3

  Judging from the data, Lin Xiao's 2nd-level Small Thousand Boundary increased by a full 123 points, which is equivalent to 12,300 points of 1st-level Small Thousand Boundary, breaking Lin Xiao's previous record of nearly 10,000 1st-level Small Thousand Boundary.

  In terms of combat power, the 2nd level of Mind Force has increased Lin Xiao's skill combat power by a full 15 points, and during this period of practicing Wanjie Jue, his physical combat power has also increased by 0.2, although not much, but it has increased.

  But seeing this string of data, Lin Xiao's heart was a little puzzled again.

  "Xin'er, isn't this mental power transformed from spiritual power? Why did the mental power increase, and the spiritual power also increased, but the physical combat power didn't increase?" Lin Xiao was full of doubts at this moment, what was it that he didn't know in between?

  "It's actually quite simple." Lin Xiang's figure appeared in his mind, "To put it this way, generally speaking, an increase in physical quality will not increase spiritual power. Of course, this is under normal circumstances. Your physical qualities in all aspects are basically system-rewarded upgrades, and when the system helps you upgrade, it's a complete and comprehensive upgrade in all aspects, including spiritual power."

  "Mental strength actually belongs to the energy of the soul level. Generally, when you practice those martial arts skills, it won't increase your mental strength. However, the Wan Jie Secret is different. It can enhance your mental strength, or spiritual power, even in the martial artist stage. This is something that other skills cannot achieve, so this also leads to your mental strength increasing with your physical combat strength."

  "But in fact, mental strength is not included in physical combat power. You must have actual skill usage to convert mental strength into combat power, which belongs to the skill combat power aspect."

  "Now your mental strength is increased through the practice of spiritual power, so this combat power will naturally be fully displayed in the skill combat power column and will not increase your physical combat power."

  Lin Xiang finished saying all this in one breath and then stopped talking, giving Lin Xiao some time to absorb and understand.

  "It was like this." Lin Xiao suddenly said.

  He then thought of the special nature of the Wan Jie Secret that Lin Xing had mentioned, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at the greatness and comprehensiveness of the Wan Jie Secret. Although he hadn't seen any other cultivation methods, it wasn't hard to guess from Lin Xing's words that the Wan Jie Secret was absolutely a top-notch cultivation method.

  After all, it's a technique that emerged with the Ten Thousand Realms System, so how could it not be powerful!

  Having gotten what he wanted, Lin Xiao no longer needed to stay here either.

  After returning to the outside, Lin Xiao filled up the entrance of this pit again. After doing all this, he manipulated his restored spiritual power to lift his body and directly rushed into the sky, flying towards another city district.

  ……

  A few days later, Andrew and his friends were on holiday again, and the four of them met at Steve's house.

  Lin Xiao arrived at Steve's house before 8 o'clock in the morning, while Andrew and others arrived even earlier than him.

  Lin Xiao arrived when they were already playing in the backyard.

  Not bad, they're just playing around.

  Andrew is holding a small camera that he bought for Matt while Steve and Matt are tossing the ball back and forth.

  "Hey! Buddy, take a look at this." Steve brought Lin Xiao to the backyard and then rushed over eagerly.

  "We're going to get this on record." Andrew said seriously, holding up his camera.

  With the ball in hand, Steve and Matt stood facing each other at a distance of about three or four meters. Andrew directed them to move into position in front of the camera. Once they were in place, Steve smiled and tossed the baseball in his hand, throwing it forcefully towards Matt across from him.

  Snap!

  The baseball slammed straight into Matt's face, hurting him so much that he let out a loud cry.

  "Oh!"

  Steve hurried up with a flattering smile.

  "What's wrong with you, Steve!" Matt clutched at his face and stumbled around on the lawn.

  Steve smiled and thought about hugging Matt.

  "Scram, scram! What are you doing? I told you to go from bottom up!" Matt shoves Steve, his face a picture of complaint.

  "Steve, you got him good!" Lin Xiao cheered from the side, "Matt, that must have hurt!"

  On the other side, Matt finally got rid of Steve, and after a bit of horseplay, Steve helped Matt get an ice pack to put on his face. The two then faced off again, but this time it was Matt who lost the ball.

  "It's better for you two to keep a distance." Lin Xiao said to the pair from the side.

  "Is that alright?" Steve and Matt each took a few steps back, the distance between them now over five meters.

  "Not bad, it's fine." Lin Xiao nodded slightly.

  "Alright, we're going from bottom to top, got it?" Steve said hastily before they started, fearing Matt would get revenge.

  Matt smiled and nodded, holding an ice pack in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. He swung his arm back and forth, and the baseball flew directly to Steve's feet, hitting the grass in front of him with a thud, and then suddenly flying upwards, hitting Steve's nose squarely.

  "Oh!"

  Lin Xiao and the three of them burst out laughing, pointing at Steve who was sitting on the ground with a smelly fart, Matt being the happiest as he finally got his revenge.

  "Go on, or let Matt lose." Lin Xiao shouted at the two, "Matt, that last move of yours was really beautiful!"

  Matt smiled, picked up the ball and held it well, winking at Steve across from him.

  Steve couldn't help but laugh and said: "I've got you now, this time you won't be able to hit me!"

  Matt nodded with a smile, turned around and asked Andrew who was holding the camera, after confirming, he swung his hand and the baseball in his hand flew directly to the right side.

  Steve instinctively looked to the right, who knew that the baseball suddenly changed direction and came back directly hitting Steve's face. Steve was comically stiffened and fell to the ground.

  "Haha!"

  Matt was delighted and ran around the lawn in a circle, whooping with joy.

  "Lin, help me get the camera down. I'll give it a try." Andrew handed the camera to Lin Xiao beside him, and then ran over to stand opposite Matt.

  "Alright, I'm ready!" Andrew said confidently.

  "Matt, give him a good one!" Steve yelled out, clutching his face with one hand after being hit twice.

  "I will." Matt nodded with a smile.

  With a flick of his wrist, Matt threw the ball with force, heading straight for Andrew, but as it got closer to him, its speed rapidly slowed down until it finally came to a stop in mid-air about half a meter away from Andrew.

  "Oh! Yeah!"

  "He did it!" Matt exclaimed.

  Andrew stared excitedly at the ball suspended in mid-air and exclaimed: "I did it, I did it!"

  Just as Matt and Steve were marveling at Andrew's feat, a stream of bright red blood suddenly flowed from Andrew's nostrils.

  "My god, oh! Buddy, you're bleeding." Matt said in surprise.

  As soon as he relaxed his mind, the ball in front of Andrew fell down. He hurriedly wiped under his nose with his hand and looked down to find that his hand was covered in blood.

  Andrew was still excited nonetheless.
