Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

One was an overexerting burst; the other was about developing all parts of the body, any point of which could unleash a fatal attack.

Moreover, the primary focus was on rapidly mobilizing muscular strength to ensure that maximum output could be maintained even during short-range bursts of power.

If he could combine the two...

Bai E instantly initiated his move, pushing the Overlimit Drive to its peak.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!"

The savage assault completely submerged Dan\'s figure, fists, palms, feet, and knees all became weapons.

Facing Bai E\'s sudden outburst, even Dan, with a Combat Specialization Layer of 5, couldn\'t fully defend, and the sound of body impacts almost merged into one.

Not enough! Still not enough!

Bai E could feel the touch of his fists, Dan\'s physique was as robust as ever, like stones padded with cotton, his punches and palms felt only the rebounding force and not much of the impact damage to the opponent.

The current Combat Specialization Layer of 3 was still not sufficient!

Currently... Combat Mastery Experience (833/1000), Remaining: Combat Experience 2, Universal Experience 2655.

Add points directly! It\'s just 167 experience points; there\'s no more wool to be sheared from Dan, it would be most reasonable to try to defeat her for the rewards of her tasks.

[Payment: 2 Combat Experience points, 165 Universal Experience points.]

[You have acquired "Combat Specialization Layer 4," and you\'ve also received 1 Potential Point.]

[Detected character currently has Combat Specialization (Layer 4), skill tree advancement unlocked: Graceful Release, Tactical Evasion, Absolute Defense.]

[Current unlocking requires: 1000 Universal/Combat Experience (double the cost for each additional skill unlocked of the same tier), 2 Potential Points (fixed).]

The moment the Specialization Layer increased, even the progress of the sparring task surged significantly.

[Your combat abilities have developed a strong personal style, integrating all you have learned into a unique personal combat system, current integration progress is 76%...]

Every time new special attributes are gained and the Specialization Layer is increased, it seems to rapidly advance the process of the personal system.

But there is still a considerable distance from it being complete, and it can\'t be relied upon for the time being. Read exclusive adventures at empiren/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Choosing one out of the newly unlocked skill trees needs careful consideration, the first 1000 experience points are not very expensive for him now, but unlocking additional same-tier skills requires doubling the experience, Bai E doesn\'t want to make a choice lightly unless it\'s crucial.

Defeating the instructor with the strength he already possesses is the optimal choice for now.

If that really won\'t work, he\'ll just unlock Graceful Release...

The three skills: Graceful Release for offense, Tactical Evasion for dodging, Absolute Defense for protection, clear and straightforward.

As the Specialization Layer increased, the addition to all attributes soared instantly, and the accompanying boost in effects was immediate.

In a flash, his strength surged.

Even with Dan\'s high resilience to being hit, she still found the combination of pressure points and joint locks amidst the powerful strikes troublesome, as these techniques could directly bypass physical defense to restrict the opponent\'s movement.

Dan only felt a numbness in her left arm before Bai E suddenly moved behind her, forcefully twisting her isolated right arm.

In the brief struggle, she ultimately couldn\'t match the brute strength of the new recruit.

"Crack!"

The muscle strain and bone dislocation caused Dan, the iron-willed woman, to feel a heart-piercing pain.

"Huff~ Huff~" Dan exhaled painfully, her face towards the ground.

It had been... how long since she felt this suffocating, tearing pain?

Since she left those frontal battlefields!

Constrained to form, powerless to resist.

Dan patted the hand clamped onto his shoulder like an eagle\'s claws, struggling to speak, "Alright, alright, I lost."

The damage fists and feet could inflict was ultimately limited for the two of them; even if he forced himself to break free at the cost of some pain, continuing to fight would simply lead to exhaustion until their last ounce of strength was depleted, to see who would falter first.

But it was just a spar in the military camp, there was no need to take it to that extreme.

[You\'ve experienced an exhilarating battle, combat experience +20.]

[Your combat ability has developed a strong personal style, integrating all you have learned; you will gain a unique personal combat system, current fusion progress 80%...]

[Sub-quest—Challenge, complete!]

[Quest reward: Target character Ability Extraction Card*1, issued.]

[Target character Ability Extraction reward pool locked: Trait*Resilient Skin, Specialty*Enhanced Strength, Mastery*Combat Specialization Layer +1, not exceeding level 5. Start extraction?]

System prompts leaped out one after another.

"Phew~" Bai E finally sighed in relief, gently releasing the shoulder of Dan, who felt like a block of stone.

The muscular Dan, turning around, looked at Bai E with appreciation on his face and admiration from the heart, "Impressive!"

["Lucky Strike" recharge +1.]

"It\'s all because of the instructor..."

Dan interrupted, anticipating Bai E\'s response, "Don\'t say it was because I taught well! I at most taught you the basics of how to deliver power; I have no clue where you learned the rest of your skills..."

With that, Dan turned to look at the trainee troops riveted on their fight, announcing loudly, "I lost!"

Despite having witnessed the bout, only when Dan announced it himself did the dreamlike reality descend, shattering the last bit of unconscious denial the others harbored.

"He really won?"

"Can we actually beat the instructor?"

"See that? My big brother!"

"Then, I think I could also try challenging..."

The instructors watching from a distance couldn\'t believe their eyes... Dan lost?!

Even among their group of instructors, there were almost none who dared say they could beat Dan with certainty.

Did this mean that the "New Recruit Glory" was now so formidable as to defeat most instructors in hand-to-hand combat?

How long had he been born?

"Turtle turtle~"

...

["Lucky Strike" recharge +44.]

emmmm... 50 when added together?

They\'re pretty strict.

Bai E chuckled secretly, then looked forward to the Ability Extraction Card in his Consciousness Space—

Resilient Skin was the core trait behind Dan\'s endurance; Enhanced Strength was akin to a youthful version of Overlimit Drive, but he wondered if it could be used in tandem with Overlimit Drive; as for Specialization, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Compared to the luxurious reward pool from Yue Ying last time, this time there were only three abilities to choose from. The strength of a basic-level military camp instructor was, after all, no match for someone at Yue Ying\'s level, but even the weakest ability accumulated could result in an unimaginable enhancement.

Let\'s see what I can draw this time...

The pointer spun rapidly over sections of three different colors, eventually slowing to a stop—

Trait—Resilient Skin!
