"What did you just do?!" For some reason, Liu Shi felt uneasy, a hint of panic on his face. Just then, Qin Yan slowly stood up from the ground.

"Die for me!" Liu Shi nervously shouted, picking up a large stone in his hand and smashing it towards Qin Yan's head. Qin Yan's eyes flashed, he stretched out his left arm to block, and the large stone smashed on his left forearm and shattered, falling to the ground.

"This is impossible?!" Liu Shi stared in shock at Qin Yan's left arm, only to see that Qin Yan's left forearm was intact, not even a scratch, it seemed to have suffered no substantial damage.

"I don't believe I can't kill you!" Liu Shi shouted strangely, swinging his fist towards Qin Yan's face. Qin Yan snorted coldly, and his forehead directly collided with Liu Shi's fist. With a crisp sound, Liu Shi's right fist bent ninety degrees and hung limply from his wrist, looking eerie and terrifying.

"Ah! It's broken! My hand is broken!" Liu Shi let out a terrified scream, feeling that his right hand palm had completely lost sensation, and his wrist was extremely painful. He looked at Qin Yan again, only to see Qin Yan calmly touch his forehead, the spot where he had been punched, without even a mark, it seemed that the punch had not caused him any harm.

"It looks like it hurts a lot, but it's your own fault." Watching Liu Shi's agonizing appearance, Qin Yan showed no sympathy, mocking him coldly.

"How did you do it?" Liu Shi looked at Qin Yan as if he had seen a ghost, suddenly he seemed to have realized something, shouting loudly, "Could it be... you already have the ability of Level 3 Body Refining, to absorb nitrogen and combine it with muscles and bones, enhancing the density and strength of muscles and bones?"

"So this is the ability of Level 3 Body Refining, I didn't know until you said it." Qin Yan recalled the scene just now, when Liu Shi kicked towards his chest, he instinctively absorbed a large amount of air and condensed it in his chest. This unexpected move had a miraculous effect, no matter how Liu Shi stomped on him, he was not hurt. Thus, Qin Yan discovered another use of Qi - strengthening the body's strength.

When Liu Shi picked up a stone to smash himself, he directly condensed Qi in his forearm, using it to block the stone, and finally blocked the stone unscathed. When Liu Shi swung his fist towards his head, he immediately gathered Qi in his facial skull bones, using his skull to collide with Liu Shi's fist. As a result, Liu Shi's finger bones fractured, his wrist dislocated, while Qin Yan's forehead was unharmed.

Although he had broken one of Liu Shi's hands, Qin Yan still felt unsatisfied. He stared at Liu Shi, his gaze like that of a tiger seeing a lamb, he once again condensed Qi in his body, gathered it in his fists, strengthening their hardness, and slowly walked towards Liu Shi.

"Don't... don't come over, I promise I won't provoke you in the future, spare me please?!" Seeing Qin Yan approaching, Liu Shi panicked, knowing he was no match for Qin Yan, he pleaded for mercy.

"Spare you?! Why did you not spare me just now?!" Qin Yan, angered by Liu Shi's vicious actions, without a word, directly punched Liu Shi in the face. Liu Shi, injured and in pain, panicked and failed to dodge Qin Yan's punch, getting hit directly in the face.

Although Qin Yan did not use his full strength, Liu Shi felt as if his face had been fiercely struck by a hard stone. His face immediately caved in, a buzzing sound rang in his head, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed stiffly on the ground, unconscious.

"What... what's going on? Liu Shi was actually knocked down by that newcomer?!" The onlookers from a distance were horrified at the scene, and they began to discuss loudly.

"I think I heard Liu Shi mention something about Level 3 Body Refining, could it be that the newcomer named Qin Yan has the ability of Level 3 Body Refining?!"

"Impossible, he's still so young, it's impossible for him to have the ability of Level 3 Body Refining. You know, the number of Level 3 Ability Users in our academy is still in single digits, he couldn't possibly be one!"

"Then how do you explain the current situation?"

"I don't know, it seems like Liu Shi has passed out, shall we go over and check on them?"

"Alright!"

They hurried over from a distance, surrounding Qin Yan and the unconscious Liu Shi on the ground, examining their conditions.

Seeing the crowd approaching and whispering about him, Qin Yan felt extremely annoyed. He resented these people for not helping him when he was in danger. With a loud shout of "Get out of the way," he pushed through the crowd and walked away. Having witnessed Qin Yan's power just now, the crowd dared not utter a word of complaint and quickly made way for him.

Because of the incident just now, Qin Yan's goodwill towards the Academy of Ability Users was completely lost. He wandered aimlessly around the academy, trying to find a way out. However, the academy was located deep in the mountains, with a vast area. Qin Yan was unfamiliar with the place and soon got lost, not knowing where he was.

"Why is this place so big? I've been walking for so long and still haven't found a way out?" Qin Yan became increasingly frustrated. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of flowing water coming from somewhere. Looking in that direction, he noticed that the sound of water was coming from a lush and dense forest.

"Could there be a river in this forest? I'm a bit thirsty, I'll go there to find some water to drink." With that thought, Qin Yan walked into the forest.

The forest was deeper than Qin Yan had imagined. Following the sound of flowing water, he walked for about ten minutes before finally crossing the forest and arriving at the side of a swiftly flowing stream.

The stream was crystal clear and looked very clean. Qin Yan squatted down, cupped his hands, and drank a few mouthfuls of water. The water tasted sweet and refreshing. Absentmindedly looking upstream, he saw the rushing stream flowing down from a cliff on a small hill, forming a spectacular waterfall as it hit the ground.

"Hmm, there's a waterfall in this place?!" Qin Yan wanted to get a closer look at the waterfall. He walked upstream along the stream and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person below the waterfall. He immediately focused his gaze on that person—

It was a young woman in white, sitting cross-legged on a smooth large stone directly under the waterfall, her eyes closed. She allowed the waterfall to flow down from above, washing over her body.

"What is she doing there? Doesn't that hurt?" Qin Yan found the woman's behavior very strange and approached her, carefully observing her. The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with a soft and beautiful appearance. She was completely soaked by the water, her long black hair scattered on her back. The white garment she wore, resembling a bathrobe, clung tightly to her body due to being soaked, revealing her snow-white skin and showcasing her graceful figure.
