The surge of robust inner strength came unexpectedly, and in her surprise, Yun Sheng hurriedly calmed her mind and carefully sensed the origin of this inner strength.
Soon, she realized that this power did not come from somewhere else, but from the blazing midsummer sun hanging high in the sky, reduced to a mere dazzling white dot.
The Shennong Medical Bracelet was transforming the sun essence from the sun into a flood-like inner strength.
Back in Banana Leaf Village, Yun Sheng had already formed the habit of absorbing sun essence under the sun to improve her Marrow Jade Technique.
Unexpectedly, just as she was training with added weight almost to the point of exhaustion, the effect of absorbing sun essence turned out to be much better than before; she felt the Qi meridians in her body become stronger and more resilient with the nourishment of a large amount of sun essence.
It felt as if a stream that was originally dry suddenly encountered a heavy rain and the water level rose swiftly, lifting the boats.
Ever since her last breakthrough as a Great Magic Director and opening up the third Qi meridian, Yun Sheng felt she had hit a bottleneck in her cultivation of the Marrow Jade Technique.
But there was no one around to guide her, so she had been unable to make a breakthrough.
It was unexpected that today she would have such an accidental discovery.
Overjoyed, Yun Sheng quietly began circulating the Marrow Jade Technique; waves of concentrated sun essence surged forth, and Yun Sheng’s previously numb feet became agile again.
All these changes occurred quietly, and Zhang Zipo didn’t notice anything unusual.
As usual, Zhang Zipo was moving non-stop among the crowd, paying special attention to the exchange student wrapped in a magic cloak.
The burning sun scorched everything, making Qi’s magic cloak shine even brighter, but that was all; despite double the weight, Qi did not collapse unconscious within a few minutes as Zhang Zipo had anticipated.
He stood there like a javelin.
With no tremble and no sign of falling.
Zhang Zipo could not help frowning, wondering if the Martial Arts Hall’s leader had found exchange students this time who were all so abnormal. The female Mage from yesterday defeated Luo Qing, and this seemingly frail Mage, even under a 100-pound iron sandbag burden, did not grunt at all.
Zhang Zipo snorted, his face full of annoyance. But as he passed by a slender female warrior, a whiff of fragrance hit him.
It was the long-missed scent of a woman.
Zhang Zipo had once taken the mage’s test in his early years, but unfortunately, he had no magic sensing power at all and had to rely on Elder Zhang’s influence to enter Wuxuan Wuji Hall.
In the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, there were many men and few women, and since Zhang Zipo particularly fancied women, he had regretted it for quite some time. The women in the Martial Arts Hall, each one training so hard that they did not seem like women at all, not even knowing how to use cosmetics—nothing like the alluring female Mages in the Royal Magic Academy.
A few years back, there was Lian Xiang, but that contemptible woman went to the Vice Hall Director to file a complaint against him; recalling the virgin scent of Lian Xiang’s body, Zhang Zipo felt his heart stir with desire.
Zhang Zipo, with a drooling face, moved closer to the female warrior performing the horse stance, and as she trembled slightly, fear appeared on her face. Zhang Zipo pinched her waist.
Seeing this, several nearby female warriors expressed their anger, but Zhang Zipo just chuckled a few times, savoring the smooth feeling in his hands, before he walked towards another female warrior.
An hour passed, and when the incense on the Golden Tripod was extinguished, the majority of the warriors on the training field heaved a sigh of relief.
Everyone chattered as they removed the iron sandbags from their hands and feet. The female warrior harassed by Zhang Zipo earlier, with red eyes, threw her iron sandbag to the ground and stormed away furiously.
Yun Sheng also gradually retracted the inner strength of her Marrow Jade Technique. Instead of feeling exhausted after an hour, she felt refreshed and invigorated, which was even better than the effect of four hours of deep meditation at night.
She looked around and realized that almost everyone on the training ground had already left.
Gu Feng collapsed from exhaustion on the ground; as soon as he sat down, the kid jumped right up.
The ground at noon was scorching hot, like the surface of a heated pot.
"Gu Feng, go check out what’s wrong with Qi," Yun Sheng noticed that Qi was still standing in the Horse Stance.
Carrying weights for an hour was definitely an overload for Qi.
As Gu Feng approached, Qi’s body softened, and he collapsed onto Gu Feng.
"Not good, Yun Sheng, Qi is dead!" Gu Feng was startled; he swept his hand under Qi’s nose and realized that there was no breath coming from Qi’s nose.
Yun Sheng hurried over, "Don’t panic, first untie the iron sand bags from his body, then move him to the shade nearby. It is probably heatstroke-induced suspension, you see his chest is still rising and falling."
After being reminded by Yun Sheng, Gu Feng noticed that Qi’s Magic Cloak was still slightly moving.
Gu Feng was clumsy in untying the iron sand bags from Qi’s body, while Yun Sheng frowned. She had an accurate sense of touch and was sure that Zhang Zipo had tinkered with these iron sand bags they had prepared for Qi.
The so-called 100-pound iron sand bags weighed at least 120 pounds, and Qi’s limbs were filled with blistering bubbles from being scorched.
Yun Sheng directed Gu Feng to move Qi to the side.
However, both Yun Sheng and Gu Feng hesitated on whether to untie Qi’s Magic Cloak.
"Yun Sheng, Qi would definitely not agree to let us take off his Magic Cloak. Even Mentor Mei Li can’t command Qi to do so. If he wakes up and finds that we’ve undone his cloak, he will certainly hate us to death," Gu Feng was reluctant, as he had just managed to get on good terms with Qi and did not want to anger him again.
"You won’t do it, I will. He’s nearly dying, yet you’re fussing excessively," without another word, Yun Sheng undid Qi’s Magic Cloak.
Just as she undid the cloak, Yun Sheng’s hands paused, and Gu Feng let out a shocked yell.
Qi’s face?
What kind of face was this? Qi’s face was covered with green bumps like a toad, standing under the sun for an hour, these bumps had split open from the intense heat.
Yellow-green pus flowed over Qi’s face, a sight that made anyone frown upon seeing it.
No wonder Qi refused to ever take off his Magic Cloak.
What surprised Gu Feng was that Yun Sheng only glanced at Qi’s face for a moment, then bent down, took out a pouch of water and a piece of cloth from the Beast Language Ring, wet it, and placed it on Qi’s forehead, then unbuttoned his collar and pressed the area between his brows with her fingertips.
After a while, the color on Qi’s face gradually improved.
When he woke up, his first sight was Gu Feng’s and Yun Sheng’s concerned eyes, and then he noticed his Magic Cloak had been undone.
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Qi sat up fiercely, pushing away Yun Sheng and Gu Feng, and tore off the cloth on his forehead.
"Who gave you permission to undo my Magic Cloak!" He angrily pulled out his Magic Wand and pointed it at Yun Sheng and Gu Feng.
