"Something's wrong with my body."

Kiyomi was slightly taken aback: "Something's not right?"

Yukino paused for a second, then slowly loosened her grip on the doorframe.

Qingmei noticed a clear fingerprint on the door frame.

Yukino's fingers remained.

"I just lightly touched the door frame."

Yukino looked down at her right hand, a ripple of emotion flickering in her icy blue eyes.

"Traces were left behind."

"...Absolutely not."

Kiyomi reached out and gently took her daughter's hand.

"It shouldn't be a loss of control of the power."

"It's just that your power is stronger than before!"

Kiyomi squeezed Yukino's hand, feeling the firm texture of her muscles.

"Ah."

Yukino nodded slightly, her red ribbon swaying gently in the morning light.

“After the guidance session last night, I went back to my room and tried swinging the wooden knife a few times.”

"Each cut is nearly 20% faster."

"... "

He paused, then glanced at Kiyomi with his icy blue eyes.

"I don't feel tired."

Qingmei looked at her daughter's calm and composed expression, but a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Xiaoxue is truly a gifted person.

"Xiao Yukino."

Kiyomi gently patted Yukino's hand and smiled tenderly.

"I'll go check out the training ground."

"Ah."

The mother and daughter walked along the corridor toward the training ground.

But as soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I saw an unexpected figure.

Hiroyuki under the snow.

"elder sister?"

Yang Nai was wearing a black shirt, her short black hair gleaming softly in the morning light, and her bright face bearing her usual smile.

But their posture made Kiyomi and Yukino stop in their tracks at the same time.

Yang Nai was squatting on the sandy ground beside the training field, his right hand on the ground and his left hand on his knee.

Her center of gravity was low, giving her the appearance of someone who could launch herself at any moment.

"Hey!"

With a low shout, he slammed his right foot into the ground.

"Whoosh-!"

Yang Nai shot off from the sand like an arrow released from a bow.

Her body traced a low arc in the air, and when she landed, her right foot left a deep footprint in the sand.

Then he launched himself again, landing three times in a row, and went straight to the end of the training field.

"call!"

Stopping in her tracks, she turned to look in the direction of the cabin, where she met the gazes of Kiyomi and Yukino.

"Good morning, Yukino, Mother."

Yang Nai waved his hand, his tone light as if he had just finished a walk.

"Are they training too?"

"elder sister."

Yukino's blue eyes narrowed slightly.

"Just now..."

"Oh, this?"

Yang Nai looked down at her feet, then lifted them and shook the sand off her shoes.

"I just tried it and found that my body seems to have changed as well."

As he spoke, he pushed off the ground again, and his whole body instantly shot three meters away, landing with almost no sound.

"See, it's that simple."

Yang Nai tilted her head slightly, a hint of mockery on her bright face.

"Mother, shall we give it a try?"

Kiyomi looked at Haruno's composed demeanor and her heart stirred slightly.

"Then I'll give it a try."

He hesitated, then followed Yang Nai's example, slightly bending his knees and lowering his center of gravity.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, then push off with your right foot and use your calf to generate power."

Kiyomi took a deep breath and gently pushed off with her right foot.

"call--!"

Her body shot forward instantly, the hem of her long robe billowing backward in the airflow, revealing the taut lines of her calves as she exerted force.

When I landed, my steps were a little unsteady, and I stumbled a couple of steps before regaining my balance, but it was much farther than the previous step.

"Mother, this is the first time I've been able to do this!"

Yang Nai walked away, a hint of surprise on her bright face.

"As expected, my calf strength has increased."

A look of disbelief appeared in Qingmei's eyes.

"Just one night... and he's become that much stronger?"

Looking down at her calves, the hem of her long robe swayed gently.

“Mother absorbed the most life energy last night, so this kind of change is normal.”

Yang Nai watched the scene intently, seemingly lost in thought.

"With the improvement of Qingshan Jun's life energy quality, the effect of last night's guidance is on a completely different level."

Here, he turned his head to look at Yukino.

"Yukino, you should have sensed it too, right?"

Yukino stood to the side, her icy blue eyes calmly gazing at the training ground.

"Ah."

He gave a faint reply.

"My reaction time this morning was almost 10% faster than yesterday."

"Only talking about reaction speed?"

Yang Nai raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile appearing on her bright face.

"Yukino, you wouldn't be hiding something from me, would you?"

Yukino's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I didn’t."

"That."

Haruno walked to the center of the training field, turned to face Yukino, spread her legs slightly apart, and lowered her center of gravity.

"Hit me."

"..."

Yukino paused for a second, her icy blue eyes narrowing slightly.

"determine?"

"determine."

Yang Nai put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look.

After the second stage of transformation, I became much more confident.
