There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"is it?"

Kanda just asked out of curiosity without doubting anything. He turned around to go back, but suddenly a cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver all over and hug his arms.

"W-why is it so cold?"

Why did such a biting cold wind blow in the middle of summer? Kanda was puzzled.

"You're telling me it's cold on such a hot day? You're overthinking it."

Li Nian walked past him as if nothing had happened and went into the inner room.

"But……"

Kanda looked at the place under the tree where Li Nian had just stood in confusion...but in the end he shook his head and didn't ask anything.

Chapter 21 School Starts

During the remaining two days of summer vacation, Li Nian did not let himself be idle and always made good use of the time to practice.

On the one hand, you are learning new things through the skill tree, and on the other hand, you are practicing the knowledge you have already mastered.

Speaking of specifics, first of all, he has been adapting to the state of "physical enhancement".

This state is simple to explain. It involves consciously stimulating the spiritual power flowing in the blood, transforming it from "static" to "dynamic". They will be consumed like burning fuel, and as a result, they will turn into a heat current that flows throughout the body along with the blood. The body's functions will be strengthened accordingly. Not only will each punch and kick have greater power, but perception, reaction, dynamic vision and other aspects will also be comprehensively enhanced.

The feeling was very comfortable and wonderful. As long as Li Nian entered this state, he would feel as light as a swallow, his ears and eyes would be clear, and his perception would become more acute.

"Physical strengthening" can be said to be the most basic and intuitive application of spiritual power.

But although this skill seems very simple, when Li Nian actually put it into practice, he found that it still requires some attention to detail.

For example, the question of output size.

The degree of enhancement is directly proportional to the amount of spiritual power burned and consumed. If it is not controlled well and the output is excessive, there will be a feeling of a huge force rushing through the blood vessels, making Li Nian very uncomfortable and bringing an unnecessary physical burden.

In addition, if the speed of spiritual power burning cannot be controlled steadily, the amplification intensity will keep changing, and the body will become difficult to control like a wild horse.

It's like driving a car. If you don't control the steering wheel, accelerator, brake and clutch well, the car will shake and you will be out of control.

The body is a more complex and delicate thing than a car, and the spiritual power that strengthens it has a local effect.

As the blood flows through the limbs and bones, strengthening the whole body is only the simplest manifestation. You can also consciously increase its penetration into a certain part of the body, thereby further strengthening that part while increasing consumption.

Concentrate on your arms and your arm strength will be enhanced; concentrate on your legs and feet and your kicking momentum will be more powerful.

From all these, it can be seen that physical strengthening is a more delicate task than imagined.

In the initial stage, once he entered the enhanced state, Li Nian would feel very uncomfortable. When doing simple movements such as running, jumping and turning, he would often step on the ground too hard, crash into the wall because he couldn't turn in time, run too fast and couldn't control his balance and fell flat on his face, and so on.

This made him realize that this body was stronger and more resistant to pain than he had imagined, but it also made him feel the difficulty of making progress.

Until he suddenly had an idea and tried to enter the "Ice Heart" state before undergoing "Physical Strengthening"... these problems were suddenly solved.

As soon as he entered the state of mind of "Bing Xin", Li Nian's consciousness became as clear as a mirror, without any dust or distractions. With his full concentration, his thinking was extremely efficient and high-speed. He could easily control his spiritual power as if it were his own arm, and naturally grasped every subtle feedback from his body, adjusting his balance very well.

Consciousness is like building a system and quickly masters the control of the body in an enhanced state.

And when he exited the "Ice Heart" state, that feeling remained, and when he went on to strengthen his body, it had become as instinctive as eating and drinking. As soon as he had a thought, he would get corresponding accurate feedback, and he could easily control it.

This made him stunned for a while, and then he seemed to be inspired. In his subsequent practice, he would circulate his mind method to cultivate a clear state of mind to practice and understand knowledge.

After that, he encountered no obstacles when practicing other skills, and his progress was rapid.

In this way, the fulfilling time passed by unknowingly.

……

……

At 6:30 in the morning, as soon as the alarm clock on the bedside table rang, Li Nian reached out to turn it off.

Li Nian slowly opened his eyes, quickly regained consciousness, and jumped up from the bed.

He went to bed at half past ten last night and fell asleep quickly. He was in good physical condition, with no random thoughts lingering in his mind. He slept very deeply and felt very refreshed. Now that he had gotten up, he had no intention of staying in bed any longer.

There was no uncomfortable feeling of stuffiness, and the air in his room was quite cool. It seemed that the ice-attributed spiritual energy that he had transformed before going to bed was working longer-lastingly than he had imagined.

Li Nian glanced at the electronic clock and the date showed that today was September 1st.

This day is the start time for most schools in both mainland China and Japan, including Sobu High School, so today, Li Nian can no longer be free and has to go to class as a student.

Opening the wardrobe, Li Nian took out the student uniform on the bottom layer and put it on. The previous uniform was no longer the right size and could not be worn anymore. This one was bought by him after he specially went to school.

He tucked his shirt into his trousers, fastened his belt, put on a blazer with the General Affairs College emblem on it, buttoned up all the buttons one by one, tied the ribbon, and after tidying his clothes, he walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

He felt awkward when he put it on, after all, his actual mental age was already in his twenties, and it felt a little inappropriate to wear a high school uniform. But when he looked in the mirror, he found that he really looked like a student.

Rather, any normal 17-year-old boy would have the same feeling when putting on a school uniform. It was not until this time that Li Nian truly realized that he had really become younger.

Leaving the room, the corridor of Sakurasou was quiet, and it seemed that no one had woken up yet.

Li Nian was going to the bathroom to wash up. When she passed by Kanda's door, she found that it was half open. She peeked inside curiously and saw that the game was still open and stopped at the standby screen. The owner of the room, Kanda, was sleeping on the floor in front of the game console with a painful expression on his face, still holding the controller in his hand...

Faintly hearing another charming breathing sound, he knew that someone else had occupied Kanda's bed and was sleeping soundly. However, Li Nian did not have any illusions about this situation. He immediately realized that Kanda was unfortunately harassed by Senior Kamiigusa on the eve of school starting, and his heart was filled with sympathy.

Can these two people really report on time?

It was still early, and waking others up at this time would be bad. Li Nian helped Kanda close the door, washed up, carried his schoolbag to the entrance, changed his shoes, and pushed the door open to leave.

After walking a few steps, he heard the sound of brakes. A taxi stopped at the door and a handsome boy got out. It was Mitaka Jin who came back at this time.

He looked sleepy, with obvious lipstick marks on his face and collar. After dropping him off, the taxi drove away in a hurry as if fleeing.

He met Li Nian and forced a tired smile.

"Hey, Rookie-kun, you're up really early. What's wrong? What are you doing suddenly changing into your school uniform and carrying your schoolbag?"

"…Senior Ren, do you remember that school starts today?"

Li Nian said this helplessly, and Sanying suddenly seemed to remember what day it was and patted his head lightly.

"Ah, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten. Look at my memory. Oh, it seems I overworked myself in bed last night."

"..." Li Nian chose not to complain about this sentence.

"Even so, you left really early."

"...Well, after all, it's my return to school after a long absence, so I'm a little bit looking forward to it."

"Look at what you said. Normally, going back to school after summer vacation would just be painful."

Li Nian smiled without comment.

"Well, have a nice trip then. Haha~~~ I'm so sleepy. I have to go back and get some sleep first."

Mitaka Jin waved his hand and walked past Li Nian yawning. Li Nian looked back at him, not knowing whether he was going to class or not.

If Akasaka Ryunosuke continues to stay indoors today, does that mean that everyone in Sakurasou except himself will be absent on the first day of school?

That would be quite unique... No, it wouldn't be that serious anyway, probably.

Chapter 22 Accident

The morning air is still fresh and cool.

Li Nian deliberately got up very early just to take a leisurely stroll. He walked slowly and observed his surroundings leisurely.

There were already some pedestrians walking in twos and threes on the street, many of them were out for a morning jog or walk, and there were also students like Li Nian wearing school uniforms.

But at this point in time, there were not many people around, and the world had not yet fully entered its working state. There were not many noisy sounds, and it was very quiet all around.

Li Nian enjoyed the quietness very much, which made him feel calm.

He thought quietly about the future and considered what plans he should make in the future.

——"Wait, Sabre?!"

At this moment, a sudden scream from behind broke the silence and interrupted Li Nian's thoughts. It sounded a little familiar, so he turned around to look. The first thing he noticed was a puppy running towards the center of the street.

Looking at the dangling lace around its neck, it seems to have just escaped from its owner's hands.

Before Li Nian had time to find the owner, his eyes were attracted by a black sedan that happened to be driving over there.

This situation is a bit bad...

Li Nian immediately stopped and frowned to watch the situation.

Also noticed was a boy with gloomy eyes on the street. He stopped his bike closer and turned to look over.

The dachshund suddenly crossed the sidewalk, seemingly not paying any attention to the road conditions. The black car honked its horn, but the stupid dog was actually scared. Its first reaction was not to dodge, but to stand still!

The driver seemed not to have anticipated this situation and the car did not slow down.

This is really bad!

In this situation, only two people reacted.

The boy nearby dropped his bicycle without thinking, ran over and picked up the dachshund, but was about to be hit by a car.

Over there, the spiritual energy in Li Nian's body began to burn crazily, flowing through his body, instantly starting to strengthen, increasing it to maximum power in one breath. He cracked the ground with a thud and his body shot out like an arrow.

The boy was standing there in a daze, unable to react, when he suddenly felt someone grabbing his collar, and his whole body was pulled up by a huge force. A strong wind whistled past his ears, and his vision was spinning -

I'm flying - just as he thought this, his butt fell heavily to the ground. He screamed in pain and tears shed.

"It hurts..."

"Fool?"

A shout came from above his head. The boy looked up blankly and saw a tall and strong boy standing next to him, frowning and staring at him coldly.

Li Nian rushed over at explosive speed, grabbed the man by the collar and threw him back to the sidewalk just before the car hit him.

In an emergency, he did not control his strength and saved the person to achieve his goal. He immediately forced back the boiling spiritual power that was running rampant in his body. However, he still felt a dull pain all over his body and was very unhappy. He also felt that this guy was being too reckless, so Li Nian cursed out loud.

Although he didn't quite understand the situation, he realized that he was rescued. He stammered and said "thank you"

Li Nian took a look at the boy's face and saw that he was staring at her blankly with his dead fish eyes wide open. Suddenly, he felt that he looked a little familiar.

This is the guy from the same class as him... uh, Bi, Biqugu something? Before Li Nian could remember who this guy was, he heard hurried footsteps and panicked calls from behind.

"Are you guys okay?"

The two looked over and saw a cute girl with a pink bun jogging towards them and stopped in front of them, panting.

She was holding the broken leash in her hand and looked like the dog's owner.

Li Nian looked at her face and recognized that she was also a classmate. At this glance, he remembered who she was and subconsciously called out her name.

"Yuigahama Yui..."

She has a cute face and is one of the most powerful members of the class. We have been in the same class for a semester, so it is hard not to recognize her.

"Ugh?"

Yuigahama was slightly stunned when her name was called out. Li Nian knew that she didn't recognize who she was after she changed so much. She felt that she was not familiar with this girl, so she was too lazy to explain and said lightly: "I'm fine."

"Is that so?"

Where have I met this person before? Yuigahama thought.

"But this guy probably won't feel well." Li Nian glanced at the boy sitting on the ground. Seeing him grimacing and touching his butt, Li Nian knew that he had fallen badly, so he shrugged and said, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't know how to control my strength. You must be hurt a little? I'm sorry, but it's better than being hit by a car. Don't ask me for medical expenses."

"…I, I'm fine. Thanks to you, my life was saved."

The boy calmed down and answered in a low voice, timidly avoiding the two people's gazes, and stood up rubbing his buttocks. It seems that his injury is not very serious.

He was still holding the dachshund in his arms, and could be said to be the protagonist in saving the dog. Yuigahama immediately cast an eager look at him.

"Thank you so much... Isn't this Hiki?!"

Yuigahama also recognized who this person was and called out his name in surprise...Li Nian then realized that his name was Hikigaya

After hearing this, Hikigaya looked at Yuigahama in confusion, and his reaction was the same as Yuigahama when Li Nian called out her name.

"Who?"

"You didn't recognize me?! I, I'm Yuigahama! Yuigahama Yui."

"...Ah, ah, now I remember, you are that someone, right?"
