Li Yao checked her skill points and, considering the current situation, upgraded [Ancient Martial Arts Shadow Step] to Master level, spending 1 million points to learn [Modern Grappling and Combat Techniques: 1 million points (Mastery), Modern Jeet Kune Do: 1 million points (Mastery), Firearms Mastery: 1 million points, Artillery Mastery: 1 million points, God-level Racer: 1 million points, Mechanical Mastery: 1 million points].
A total of 7 million points were spent, leaving 6,874,600 points. Li Yao then learned the [Ancient and Modern Version of Compendium of Materia Medica], which cost 100,000 points, and also learned [Segmented Body Technique, 5 million (Grandmaster Level)], leaving 1,774,650 skill points.
After Li Yao finished buying the skills, she was about to click to learn them when 6834 suddenly said, "Host, learning a large number of skills at once is probably too much for your current physical condition. I suggest you drink a cup of spiritual spring water first, then learn the Body Tempering Technique. Once your physical condition is better, you can learn ancient martial arts skills. Ancient martial arts have a very good effect on improving human mental strength, making it easier to learn other skills later."
Li Yao accepted 6834's suggestion, first teleporting to the bathroom in the bedroom, taking off all her clothes and standing in the shower. Li Yao took an exquisite porcelain cup from the [Infinite Space], then filled the cup with spiritual spring water from the spring in the [Spiritual Spring Space], drank it all in one gulp, and then put the cup away.
Turning on the tap and letting the warm water soak her entire body, Li Yao felt a familiar burning sensation. It was as if all the muscles and bones in her body were breaking and healing again. Li Yao cleared her mind, and gradually a foul odor wafted over. Impurities surfaced in Li Yao's body. This time, there were not as many impurities as the first time she drank the spiritual spring water, but it was more painful.
[Host, the spiritual spring water is strengthening your muscles and bones.]
6834 provided an explanation to Li Yao at the right time. Li Yao hummed in understanding, dried herself off, put on her pajamas, and returned to the bedroom. Instead of going to bed, she sat on the carpet in the small living room of the bedroom.
Clicking to learn the [Body Tempering Technique], bursts of white light flooded Li Yao's mind, as if someone had shattered every bone in her body. Li Yao groaned, repeatedly telling herself to endure it, but the pain intensified. She was covered in cold sweat, her face flushed red. Li Yao realized she had been careless; perhaps she should have bought the beginner's version first. Just then, Da Zhuang suddenly appeared, stuffing a towel into Li Yao's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue.
Li Yao trembled all over in pain. After a while, she felt extremely hot all over, as if her body was on fire, but her muscles were sore and swollen. About half an hour later, Li Yao felt that the physical training was finally over. She was covered in cold sweat and her hair was messy, but she was full of strength.
Li Yao stood in front of the mirror, looking at her well-proportioned muscles and defined lines, but not quite a "bodybuilder Barbie" figure, and expressed doubt. Is this the [Grandmaster-level Body Tempering Technique]?
Li Yao recalled the body-forging techniques instilled in her mind. Body-forging techniques are a skill of ancient martial arts body training, which mainly trains the toughness of the skin and the strength of the muscles, and refines internal energy into every inch of flesh and blood to achieve the goal of physical strength and invulnerability to swords and spears.
Li Yao picked up the eyebrow razor and ran it across the back of her hand. Her skin was more sensitive than before, and she felt a sharpness as the blade was about to touch her skin, but it didn't cut her or leave a mark. Seeing this, Li Yao tried harder and slashed, but it still didn't cut her.
Li Yao went to the gym, which had a force gauge. She threw a punch, and the force gauge showed 2000 kilograms.
Strength 21 = 920 lbs/418 kg, Strength 22 = 1040 lbs/472 kg. Strength 20-21 is essentially the top human level (regardless of weight class).
Therefore, it is no surprise that Li Yao's current strength is enough to easily kick over several special forces soldiers.
The sense of power fascinated Li Yao, and she chose without hesitation to learn [Ancient Martial Arts Shadow Step Master Level, Modern Grappling and Fighting Techniques (Proficient), Modern Jeet Kune Do (Proficient), Firearms Proficiency, Artillery Proficiency, God-Level Racer, and Mechanical Proficiency].
A series of white lights flashed by, and Li Yao felt a chill spread from the sky to her whole body. Scenes of Shadow Step, grappling and fighting techniques, Jeet Kune Do, firearms, artillery, vehicles, and machinery flashed through her mind.
Li Yao felt like the training had only lasted a moment, but in reality, a full 15 minutes had passed. When Li Yao opened her eyes, she felt much lighter and her dodging speed was much faster.
Li Yao took out an AK47 from the [Infinite Space] and instantly disassembled the gun down to its parts, but reassembled it in less than 15 seconds.
Now that Li Yao has the ability to protect herself, it's no surprise that she could take down an entire company by herself. The feeling of having power of her own is amazing.
When Li Yao put the gun back into the [Infinite Space], she saw the spy she had just taken in that day. The disappearance of so many people would definitely shake the country, but as long as the relevant departments investigated thoroughly, they would find that these were all spies. But Li Yao couldn't care less. Let them do whatever they wanted, anyway, they wouldn't be able to find her.
At the same time, Li Yao recalled a news story she had seen before: a performance had all the audience members had bought tickets, but the performance had to be postponed because a few foreigners came to visit, leaving hundreds of audience members waiting.
What's the logic behind this? Decades ago, some people were obsequious because foreign technology was superior to that of China. Bowing and scraping for the sake of technology and production was a bitter act. Now, China has stood tall. We are a major international power and the strongest rival of the United States. If you still bow and scrape before them and treat them with more respect than the masses, you will only be looked down upon.
Truth and justice are always only within the range of cannons and on the edge of a knife. Just like in flood relief, why should our soldiers be sacrificed to save a foreigner with ulterior motives? Foreigners have held official positions since ancient times, but they learned Chinese technology and used guns and cannons to knock on China's door. "Though we are of the same race, their hearts are different" is a truth that our ancestors built with countless lives over thousands of years.
