Liao Ya paced back and forth in the boxing gym, eagerly anticipating the miraculous things her junior brother had mentioned.
Lu Yao, carrying things, returned to the gym and showed a sincere smile when he saw his senior sister.
"I'm back, let's see if this thing is useful!"
Liao Ya was full of anticipation and quickly followed him inside. "What should we do?"
Lu Yao took out the "Portable Ultrasound Scanner": "This device can see inside the human body, let me demonstrate."
When Lu Yao was sick, he had undergone many ultrasound scans and, over time, he had learned how to read them.
But from "long illness becomes a good doctor" to being an actual doctor was a stretch; he was an amateur and wouldn't know how to use professional equipment, so this "simplified version" was just right.
He applied "Coupling Agent" to his stomach, then placed the probe on it, and images immediately appeared on the tablet.
He then explained: "That's how it works. This machine can detect the insides of a person, roughly checking the flow of blood and changes in tissues and organs."
The clever Liao Ya quickly grasped how to use it, excitedly reached out with both hands to grasp Lu Yao's shoulders, and shouted:
"Junior brother~ this is 'Inner Vision'! Only the greats capable of 'Spirit Refinement' 'Fetal Breath' can achieve this! With it, cultivation will be more than twice as effective! There will be no more bottlenecks or challenges in martial arts, this is truly a divine object!"
The girl held the probe gingerly, trembling all over. "Junior brother, quickly scan me! I want to know if I'm practicing correctly right now!"
"No problem, but you'll have to take off your clothes. Or do you want to do it yourself?" Lu Yao pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact, he was full of anticipation.
Liao Ya's face flushed, but it was brief; she then lifted her chin, puffed out her chest, and said firmly:
"I'm not familiar with this device. We are fellow disciples and soon to become in-laws. Little hindrances shouldn't be a concern, let's go!"
That said, she stood up and boldly began to remove her top.
Lu Yao looked at the curves about to burst forth and his expression froze, his mouth agape with thirst.
Just by looking, he could sense their proud stance and amazing elasticity!
Liao Ya pretended nothing was amiss, but her face, red to the base of her neck, betrayed her.
"Then... I'll begin."
"Yes, start with my viscera!"
Lu Yao deeply understood why it was common for fellow disciples to become couples; martial training often involves physical contact, and with time, sparks could easily fly.
With the two beautiful girls in closed-door cultivation, he was left to stretch his muscles alone and throw a lonesome punch.
Practicing solo was rather dull, but the clear progress was uplifting. The Liao Family Fist became smoother, his strength increased, and soon he was able to go through the motions twice in succession.
Moreover, his movements and stances grew more aesthetically pleasing with a hint of sharpness. This was a sign that his Kung Fu was truly reaching deep within, manifesting an aura that radiated from inside out.
"With the aid of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup and the Spirit Refining Method, I'm improving rapidly, becoming stronger every day."
Lu Yao reveled in the feeling of his long-missed robust body, overjoyed.
For years he had been frail, unable to take a few decent steps, let alone throw punches like he could now!
The physical exertion from practicing the Liao Family Fist was like simultaneously boxing and ballet dancing, which even healthy individuals might not manage to complete.
Lu Yao was exhilarated, "Martial Path, it indeed hasn't let me down! Maintaining this pace, reaching the Blood-Exchange Realm shouldn't be hard!"
He wiped off the sweat and started preparing the tonic. He had become so adept with the decoction machine that he could operate it with his eyes closed, and soon the tonic was ready.
Initially, Lu Yao could only manage a small sip of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, but now he could drink a whole bowl.
After finishing the tonic, he spaced out for a while.
"Both sisters are in closed-door cultivation, I wonder how long they'll be. I might as well go home and take care of some 'personal business'!"
No sooner said than done, Lu Yao filled a thermal cup with the tonic to the brim, then opened the Dimensional Door and returned to Blue Star.
~~~~~~~~
There were two things he needed to do on Blue Star this time—
One was to obtain firearms for self-defense. The Otherworld was too dangerous, with even vampires lurking around; who knew what else might appear, hence the need for a reliable way to protect oneself;
Two was to start planning ahead for dealing with Zhang Xin! This bastard had poisoned him, leading to cancer, and he could not let that slide!
But Zhang Xin was not easy to handle. After all—how many people could study abroad and end up as drug lords?
Reality was indeed so fantastical.
Zhang Xin was clever, ruthless, and had his own secret skill—turning cold medicine worth just a few bucks into high-grade opium.
He had built an extensive empire abroad, transforming from an ordinary student into a dominating figure, just like the male protagonist of a novel.
