The endless howling wind and thunder, the wailing of Life Ghosts or the heart-wrenching silence were no longer in their ears.

In their place was the low hum of machines unique to the interior of the building, along with the faint footsteps and indistinct conversations belonging to human society in the distance.

Fang Qingyu was the first to adjust to the light and looked around.

They were standing in the center of a spacious, bright circular hall, polished marble floors glistening beneath them.

The walls around the hall were silver-white alloy embedded with complex indicator lights and identification panels. Soft recessed ceiling lights illuminated from above.

It was precisely the teleportation area where they had assembled before entering the "Abyss".

"Phew—!!!"

"Damn it! Finally out!"

Chu Kuanglan exhaled a nearly roaring breath, which echoed loudly in the vast hall, filled with the ecstasy of survival and an indescribable relaxation.

Rubbing his eyes, sore from the bright light, he grumbled in a muffled voice, "Staying in that ghost place for two days felt like two years!"

Lu Jiuyuan, though not as exaggerated as Chu Kuanglan, also visibly relaxed his tense body, showing a relieved expression on his face.

Silently nodding, he clearly resonated with Chu Kuanglan's perception of time.

The absolute darkness and silence of the Eternal Silence Abyss indeed greatly distorted one's sense of time.

"Let's go, go back first."

Wei Banmeng's voice rang out, still cool, but the heartfelt sense of ease was hard to conceal.

The five of them didn't delay.

They quickly crossed the hall and took a dedicated high-speed elevator, directly reaching the floor where the Pocket World Blessed Land of Dragon Abyss Pavilion was located.

When the elevator doors opened again, the familiar, vitality-rich fragrance of plants and trees greeted them, dispelling the last traces of the cold and fatigue brought from within the "Abyss".

The simulated gentle sunlight of the Pocket World Blessed Land poured down.

Exotic flowers and plants swayed in the wind, accompanied by the chirping of birds, forming a stark contrast to the scenes within the "Abyss", much like heaven and hell.

"Refreshing!"

Chu Kuanglan took a deep breath of the spiritual energy, feeling his pores open up all over his body.

Wei Banmeng looked at Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei, "I'll take the Profound Qilin to see Master and report the situation first."

Fang Qingyu nodded, "Okay."

Then, Wei Banmeng, along with Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan, quickly walked toward the direction of Yan Shouzheng's "Observing Silence Pavilion".

Chu and Lu also needed to report their experiences of this trip to the Pavilion.

Fang Qingyu, on the other hand, took Jiang Wei straight back to their secluded "Bamboo Creek Courtyard" hidden amongst the exotic flowers and plants.

As soon as they entered the quaint and elegant courtyard, isolating them from the outside noise, a sense of peace was magnified.

Both felt as though their whole bodies were covered with the dust from within the "Abyss". The bloodthirst and that indescribable chaotic aura.

"A wash?"

Fang Qingyu looked at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei nodded her little head vigorously and slipped into the bathroom, holding her small backpack.

Fang Qingyu also quickly washed, changing into clean and fresh training clothes.

Hot water washed away the dirt, as if also cleansing the heavy mental strain that had accumulated.

But Fang Qingyu was not the least bit complacent.

During these two days in the "Abyss", although the primary goal was to search for Source Material, various new types of Life Ghosts were slain along the way, especially those light-averse, cold types deep within the Eternal Silence Abyss, which were all faithfully recorded in the directory.

The screen of the [List] unfolded, the number in the skill points column clearly showing: 16 points!

Without hesitation.

Fang Qingyu, along with the freshly washed Jiang Wei—dressed in a clean little dress and holding a new lollipop—left the courtyard once again.

Target clear, the training ground!

The training ground was still bustling with activity, with many disciples of Dragon Abyss Pavilion sweating profusely.

When they saw Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei—who should have still been in the "Abyss"—appear here, many looked at them in astonishment.

Fang Qingyu ignored these looks, leading Jiang Wei directly to a relatively open area.

Closing his eyes, he sank his mind into the [List].

First, he locked onto the Thunder Instant Cloud Trace body technique.

"Invest 8 points!"

The command was executed!

Boom!

An influx of entirely new insights emerged in his mind regarding body techniques, stepping techniques, and Qi blood circulation.

Previously, mastering Thunder Instant Cloud Trace aimed for ultimate explosive speed and ghostly turns in short distances, like thunder ripping through the dark.

But now, with the realm advancing to Level 4 Great Success.

Fang Qingyu felt his understanding of "speed" had deepened.

It wasn't just about being fast!

It was a gliding sensation that integrated into the environment and harmonized with airflow.

As if his body was no longer an obstacle forcefully breaking through the air, but a part of the wind, a wisp of flowing water.

In absolute outburst, there was a hint of unfathomable "softness" and "toughness", making transitions more fluid and natural, seemingly reducing Qi blood consumption, greatly enhancing stamina.

[Advanced Skill 3: Thunder Instant Cloud Trace Lv.4 (0/1600)]!

Feeling the subtle change in his body's perception of airflow.

With bright eyes flashing, Fang Qingyu didn't pause and immediately spent the remaining 8 skill points on Baji Fist!

Buzz!

A sense of weighty and powerful fist intent, as if it could shake mountains, instantly exploded in Fang Qingyu's consciousness.

The Baji Fist itself is renowned for its ferocity and violent explosive strikes.

At this moment, with the realm elevating to Level 4, Fang Qingyu felt his mastery over "Power" had reached a new height.

It wasn't just about twisting all the body strength into a single chord and unleashed.

But rather understanding at a deeper level the interplay and instant transformation of the six kinds of energies: "Press, Hold, Single, Lift, Hip, Twine"!

With each punch thrown, it encompassed a composite of spiral, shock, and penetration multi-layered power.

As if upon the fist's touch, the force would infiltrate thoroughly like mercury, and yet could erupt suddenly at the core, generating terrifying "crash" power!

It demands a higher proficiency in bone-resounding and Qi blood transport, but the power also grows exponentially.

With a strong body, this punch could probably even penetrate thick alloy armor.

[Advanced Skill 5: Baji Fist Lv.4 (0/1600)]!

Standing still, Fang Qingyu closed his eyes, carefully comprehending the brand new sense of power the enhancement of these martial techniques brought forth.

The body technique has become more "mind-triggered, body-follows", while the fist technique has reached the realm of "Power Generation from the Heart".

His strength had solidly advanced once more.

At this moment, a cool voice tinged with a bit of helplessness sounded from the entrance of the training ground:

"Qingyu."

Fang Qingyu opened his eyes and looked towards the voice.

It was Wei Banmeng who had returned at some point, standing at the entrance of the training ground, her fresh face sporting a slightly amused expression.

She looked at Fang Qingyu, then at Jiang Wei beside him, who was holding her lollipop with a "I knew it" look. She gently sighed and said:

"Master is looking for you."
