Three days later.
In the Hidden Dragon Dojo, within the cultivation room.
Xue Jing, wearing a black training garnt, stood quietly at the center of the room, his feet planted on the solid wooden floor.
His gaze was fixed straight ahead, and his skin, from his chin downwards, was covered in dense patches of 'dragon scales.'
He began to use the Armor Shaking Skill with its accompanying skin breathing skills, his dragon scales expanding and trembling, making crackling sounds like a True Dragon shaking its armor.
"Hmm... the injury should be no big deal now; at least, I can start practicing," Xue Jing said as he clenched his fist and nodded.
Over the past three days, he had been resting and recuperating, and the wounds on his skin mbrane had finally healed considerably.
Dispersing the dragon scales covering his body, Xue Jing took a deep breath and his gaze sharpened.
Power surged, dragon chants resounded, and his muscles tensed tight.
Spiral grooves began to erge on his right shoulder, extending towards the edge of his fist, twisting like a tightly wrung towel, making his entire arm look slender.
Once the Whirlwind Thunder Force was ready, Xue Jing chose not to throw a punch.
Instead, he turned his thoughts and activated [Twin Lifes].
Three days ago, when choosing the new active effect for Twin Lifes, he had selected [Physical Defense].
Now was the ti to test the effect.
The spiral-shaped Compressed Strength placed a great burden on Xue Jing, his arm trembling under the strain.
However, when Xue Jing activated [Twin Lifes], his right arm, which felt on the verge of bursting, suddenly relaxed.
Double the Physical Defense equated to double the physical endurance.
At this mont, whether it was his bones, muscles, skin, or internal organs, everything related to his body could withstand twice the load, defying all physical laws.
Therefore, the Whirlwind Thunder, which boasted an unlimited compressive strength, could also be compressed further to double the amount within his limits!
Xue Jing's gaze sharpened, and he continued to compress power using the Whirlwind Thunder Force thod!
He trembled all over, the sound of the dragon chants inside him growing louder, and the spiral-shaped grooves on his shoulder suddenly extended backwards, slithering beneath the skin like serpents.
The grooves spread spirally across his collarbone, neck, and underarm, finally coiling around his entire right pectoral muscle.
His muscles sent out faint quivers of being overloaded, and Xue Jing realized he had reached his limit.
"Ha!"
He imdiately let out a loud shout and swung a peerless Straight Punch at the air in front of him!
"Boom!!"
In the Hidden Dragon Dojo, everyone's ears were suddenly filled with the sound of Shocking Thunder.
Countless disciples in the training hall lifted their heads, puzzled.
"Is that thunder?"
"Strange, wasn't the weather forecast predicting clear skies for the next few days? And it doesn't look like it's going to rain outside, does it?"
In the Heart-Nourishing Room, seated in a wheelchair, holding an ancient thread-bound book, Li Qi turned her head towards the cultivation room after hearing the blast and silently smiled with satisfaction in her eyes.
"Boom!!"
Starting from the extended fist, a spiral-shaped gust with a diater of several ters, visible to the naked eye, roared forward.
The opened windows creaked continuously, trembling as if they were about to shatter, and the curtains hanging on them were caught up in the violent airflow, unhinging and flying out of the window like spinning fans.
Xue Jing clenched his fist, looking at his arm.
"With another punch like this, that cockroach monster would probably die," he muttered to himself.
With the activated [Physical Defense] from Twin Lifes, his combat strength limit had nearly doubled.
"It's not just Whirlwind Thunder; Golden Scales Transformation and Seal Cloud Tail also benefited," he continued.
"Moreover, this ans the limit for [Power of Twins] is even higher now," he added.
The active effect of Twin Lifes disregards all physical laws, doubling one aspect of physicality.
The doubling effect from the Power of Twins is the sa.
If martial arts were like mathematics, with moves and force generation being different math formulas,
then [Power of Twins] is like adding an unconditional 'X2' at the end of any formula.
The previously compressed Whirlwind Thunder Force which enabled Xue Jing to deliver a punch with twice the normal Punch Force; when using Power of Twins, that becos four tis.
And now, after using Twin Lifes for defense, Whirlwind Thunder could compress power for a triple punch force, which, when using Power of Twins, translates to six tis the regular strength!
Twin Lifes is a Divine Skill that becos more exaggerated as one progresses to later stages!
"This feels a bit invincible," Xue Jing said, nodding in satisfaction.
Additionally, during these three days, he had also specifically tested the consumption and cooldown of Twin Lifes at Lv3.
So far, three active effects have been activated: [Strength], [Speed], and [Defense].
And the three shared different consumption levels.
[Speed] consus the most; currently, if he only uses Twin Speed, it can last for about thirty seconds before the 'energy' of Twin Lifes is completely depleted.
[Strength] follows, lasting for approximately fifty seconds.
[Defense] consus the least with a duration of nearly three minutes if he just activates Twin Defense.
However, these three are shared, and if all are used simultaneously, the energy lasts for less than fifteen seconds.
Once the 'energy' is fully depleted, it takes about five hours to fully recover, which is an hour shorter than the six hours it took when first activated.
Overall, Lv3 Twin Lifes has improved in all aspects quite nicely.
Having assessed his current situation, Xue Jing thought about continuing his cultivation.
