The upgrade of "Twins" and the unlocking of active effects are still a long way off.
But it was not without gain. At least I learned that this kind of thing is called a divine relic. Looking at the serial numbers, there seem to be quite a lot of them, at least over a thousand pieces.
Xue Jing looked at the cat who was eating chicken and drinking chicken soup, and suddenly thought of something and said:
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"Slurp." The cat, biting a piece of chicken, answered indistinctly.
Xue Jing first flattered, "The leader of the Dragon Cult sounds very impressive. I'm sure he must be very well-known in the underworld and well-informed, right?"
"Humph, of course." Maomao raised his head proudly.
"It's like this. I want to enter a dojo to practice martial arts. Which dojo is better? Does the master recommend any? Well, if I can rely on the master's supreme authority to reduce some of the tuition fees, it would be great."
Xue Jing made a request.
Maomao nodded, "Actually, I was just about to tell you about this."
"You took me in and let me eat and drink for free in your home. I have to repay this kindness."
"I will introduce you to someone in a few days. In terms of martial arts, there should be no one more powerful than that person in Qingcheng."
Xue Jing asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"The old owner of Canglong Dojo, 'Lord Dragon' Li Qi."
A name came out of the cat's mouth.

Chapter 24: Banned Drugs and Old Martial Arts
"Hidden Dragon Dojo?"
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.
He had an impression of this temple.
When he had just awakened his panel and planned to learn martial arts, he looked up the tuition fees of various dojo in Qingcheng, and Canglong Dojo was one of the dojos with the highest fees.
However, the high fee was not the reason why Xue Jing remembered it.
It’s because on the Internet, Canglong Dojo has a very high rate of negative reviews... They are all criticizing the teaching quality for not being worth the tuition.
Xue Jing's expression was a little subtle.
The cat licked its paws, yawned, and said:
"The Canglong Dojo has a bad reputation... but that's just the opinion of outsiders."
"In the circle of true martial artists, no one would underestimate Canglong Dojo, especially the old owner Li Qi."
The cat stretched out its two front paws forward, stretched, and raised its butt high.
"He is one of the few old martial arts masters who has never taken 'banned drugs' and yet has successfully jumped over the dragon gate and broken through the limits of human beings."
"During his heyday several decades ago, he had a great reputation in the Inner Ring City, on par with 'Vajra Zhou' and 'Shura Chen', and was known as 'Dragon King Li'."
"Although I'm just an old man in a wheelchair now, I'm more than capable of teaching you martial arts."
Xue Jing reached out and picked up the cat and placed it on his lap, and asked curiously:
"Banned drugs? Leaping Dragon Gate? Old martial arts? What do they all mean?"
He felt that a brand new door was opening before him, and behind the door was the world of martial artists.
The cat seemed sleepy, with its eyes half-closed, it lay down on Xue Jing's legs, who reached out and stroked its back along its fur. The familiar feeling of comfort made it drowsy.
"The banned drug is made from products from a special border area. It is extremely stimulating and can cause the user's body to undergo various changes, and then have a non-human body."
"For example, there is a class of drugs that can change the nature of a person's skin, making it as tough as steel. There are even some drugs that can make a person grow extra limbs, turning them into six-armed monsters..."
"Since the emergence of banned drugs, the development of martial arts has taken a completely new path..."
"Those martial artists who are unwilling to take banned drugs and insist on pursuing the limits of the human body with their original bodies are called 'old martial arts schools'."
Maomao yawned continuously. "As for Leaping Dragon Gate, it's too early for you. You may not even be able to touch it in your lifetime. You don't need to know so much for now..."
After struggling to finish the last sentence, Maomao's eyelids closed, and he curled up in Xue Jing's arms, breathing steadily, and fell asleep.
Xue Jing slowly stopped stroking its back, picked it up gently, went back to the room, put the cat on his bed, covered its body with a thin quilt, leaving only its head exposed.
Then he walked out of the room quietly, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into pajamas, put the blood-stained school uniform into the washing machine, and then went to the balcony with his mobile phone.
It was already 10:30 in the evening. Xue Jing turned on the screen of his mobile phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and opened the dialing interface.
He has a strange habit of being rather cautious. He does not store notes about his relatives' phone numbers in his phone. This way, even if his phone is lost, others who pick it up will not be able to defraud his relatives through his phone.
Although this habit is likely to be used in a lifetime.
After entering a number on the interface, Xue Jing dialed the call.
He didn't have to wait too long. After three or four beeps, the call was connected.
"Hello, hello, woof, woof?"
A cheerful and pleasant voice came from the receiver.
When he was a child, Xue Jing often played a fighting game with his sister Xue Wan. They would often bet something, such as a candy or a few pocket money.
When Xue Jing lost, he just handed over the bet honestly and accepted the defeat. However, when Xue Wan lost, he often refused to pay his debts, so later gambling games were added with the phrase "Anyone who refuses to pay his debts is a dog."
That day, the world lost one person and gained one dog.
"Sister, are you asleep?" Xue Jing said with a smile.
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Xue Wan said unhappily.
After a pause, she continued, "What's the matter? Why are you calling me at this time? Let me make it clear first, I don't have any money."
Xue Jing: "What you said, am I the kind of person who only calls you when I need money?"
Xue Wan: "That's good. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xue Jing: "V me 50."
Beep…beep…beep…
Xue Wan hung up the phone directly.
Xue Jing smiled and called again.
"Tell me what's going on quickly, sister. I'm going to sleep." Xue Wan said helplessly.
After a moment of silence, Xue Jing said softly, "Sister, what unhappy things have happened to you?"
Xue Wan seemed to be stunned for a while, then he said with a smile: "What can happen to me? I'm fine, don't think too much."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Are you really okay?"
"It's really nothing... You seem to have a little sister complex, this is not good, if you have a girlfriend in the future, she will be jealous."
Xue Wan teased.
Xue Jing heard that there was indeed nothing unusual in her tone, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom is very worried about you, going to college alone in Fengcheng..."
…
Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Xue Jing and Xue Wan had a lot to talk about, and they chatted for a long time.
By the time Xue Jing hung up the phone, it was already eleven o'clock.
"It should be nothing."
Xue Jing said to himself.
There was nothing wrong with Xue Wan just now, so her mother must have worried for nothing.
After stretching, Xue Jing walked back into the house.
Instead of going back to his room to sleep, he went to the sofa in the living room and sat cross-legged.
Start practicing basic breathing techniques.
An hour later.
Xue Jing closed his eyes dizzy and leaned on the sofa.
My whole body is emitting heat because the blood is running at an overspeed, and I am almost having a fever.
After a long while, Xue Jing recovered and opened the panel to take a look.

[You have performed a breathing exercise, fitness experience +16]
The improvement in several skill levels brought about the improvement in his physical fitness, and because he gradually began to adapt to the breathing method, this time he directly performed four complete breathing method cycles in a row.
"Strength..."
Xue Jing stretched out his right arm and touched his elbow with his left hand, looking thoughtful.
When he was practicing the breathing method just now, he seemed to have touched some key point. At a certain moment of breathing, the muscles in his right arm moved.
Trying hard to recall that feeling, Xue Jing attempted to recreate it, but failed after several attempts.
He was not in a hurry. Since he couldn't find the result, it meant that the time was not right.
After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, Xue Jing returned to the room, lay down on the bed, stroked the cat sleeping next to him with one hand, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Chapter 25: Use your strength to challenge the opponent
Three days later.
Xue Jing's home, in the 'gym'.
[You have performed a breathing exercise, fitness experience +16]
[You have performed a breathing exercise, fitness experience +16]
You performed a...
Looking at the prompts that popped up on the panel more than a dozen times, Xue Jing felt the various rhythms generated inside his body when he breathed.
The stretching of bones, the operation of internal organs, the contraction and expansion of muscles...
He stared at his arms in a daze. The muscles beneath his skin expanded and contracted with his breathing, as if they were living things with their own consciousness.
An unknown amount of time passed, but until a critical point, Xue Jing felt a stream of heat surging from his entire body, and quickly gathered towards his right arm in rhythm with his breathing.
He walked silently to the vertical sandbag in the middle of the room, bent his knees slightly, put his right hand behind his waist, and assumed a posture as if he was about to throw a punch.
Xue Jing took a deep breath and threw a straight punch.
"Bang!!"
Compared with his previous punch, this punch was not fast and not as powerful.
But the vertical sandbag, whose base weighed three hundred pounds, seemed to be hit by an oncoming car. With the place where the fist hit as the center, the entire sandbag bent like a shrimp, flew sideways, and hit the wall, shaking the whole room.
[Conditions have been met, activate the skill: Yun Jin]
[Luck Level 1 (0/300)]
In an instant, the strength that was originally generated by a sudden flash of inspiration was quickly mastered by him and turned into his instinct.
Xue Jing's eyes showed joy.
He immediately began to practice breathing techniques, and his internal organs immediately began to move in accordance with his breathing, producing various rhythms that were converted into kinetic energy, "creating" strength.
Xue Jing's mind moved, the strength flowed to his right foot, and then he raised his foot and stepped forward!
