CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 127 FIST TECHNIQUE ADVANCEMENT (3000 WORDS!)

Before Zhang Li could ask clearly, a somewhat incredulous voice came from the walkie-talkie on her shoulder.

"Falcon III has already detected the target, oh my God, it’s really a golden skeleton in action... oh my God, it lifted its head, it really lifted its head! Is it looking at me!?!"

Having no time to explain much to Lu Ren, Zhang Li patted his shoulder and said, "Although I would really like you to go back and make a record, you’re not in a good state right now. Go back and rest first, wait for my notification. You’ve worked hard. We’ve got this covered, and if you have any requests, feel free to bring them up, we’ll do our best to meet them."

She paused and lowered her voice, saying, "Don’t think I’m bluffing. With what you’ve gone through, if not handled properly, it would discourage our brothers. Furthermore, you are highly valued, don’t worry."

"I understand, Sister Li."

Lu Ren paused before speaking again.

"Sister Li, it’s best to handle this gently. The other party has a sound mind... and is kind at heart."

Ksitigarbha must be considered among the ranks of good people.

Zhang Li nodded slightly, "I understand."

Lu Ren lowered his voice: "He said his name is Ksitigarbha."

"Which Ksitigarbha?"

"The one in the books, that Ksitigarbha."

Zhang Li’s expression changed dramatically: "Really?!"

"I don’t know."

"Alright, I’ll report this matter up. As long as it’s confirmed there’s no harm to the public, we always handle it in the gentlest way. You don’t look well, go back and rest."

Before Lu Ren could reply, Zhang Li signaled the logistics staff of the Security Department behind her, and the group entered the mountain forest fully armed.

Watching Zhang Li and her group depart, Lu Ren felt somewhat silent. He didn’t know if the people above would develop other ideas upon learning that Ksitigarbha had survived in this state for two thousand years.

He then dismissed this thought, honestly for research on the mind, modern science is completely blank. Even if Ksitigarbha opened up his cultivation method completely, anyone who truly succeeds would be considered impressive.

Moreover, such a person...

To whom death seems like going to the Western Paradise.

Such a great realm, Great Freedom.

Wondering how far along the Path of Bright Awakening he once walked.

With that thought, Lu Ren no longer concerned himself with this matter. He just did what he should do, the rest would take time to verify what was going on.

Perhaps when space rift fluctuations become frequent again, the entire world’s structure will undergo extreme changes.

These extraterrestrial creatures have not arrived, yet there are already a whole handful of beings from the Alternate Space.

Returning home, Lu Ren, holding a bucket, replenished himself with water once more. After showering, he lay down on the bed and opened his attribute panel.

"Surname: Lu Ren

Spirit: 19 (Skill Level 6872/7060)

Constitution: 17 (Skill Level 5762/6400)

Power: 20 (Skill Level 7430/8470)

Agility: 25 (Skill Level 9821/12520)

Skills:

Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient 13780/15748),

Phoenix Falcon Fist (Master Level 10202/40524) Attribute bonus: [Rapid Attack, Penetration, Double Light Body, Recovery, Durability],

Lamp of Freedom (Slightly Accomplished 670/8520) Attribute bonus: [Mind-Body Resonance, First Burst],

Basic Dagger Technique (Initial Glimpse 1/3932),

Gun Skill (Slightly Accomplished 662/6520)

Free Attribute Points: 5

Skill Points: 3"

The actions in the Treasure Light Secret Realm were evaluated as quite good, and because of the secret realm’s fracture, a few strands of fortune were absorbed, thus gaining 5 free attribute points and 3 skill points.

Honestly, until now Lu Ren is still at a loss on how the system evaluates levels, completely clueless, how the world’s fortune actually influences.

Every world has what are called major events that influence the world’s set direction, and there is also protagonist’s fortune present, but without enough strength, touching these recklessly is likely to backfire, ultimately leading to death without a burial place.

As for the 3 skill points, there’s no doubt Lu Ren placed them all into Phoenix Falcon Fist. Since reaching the Integration level of Fist Technique, promoting it requires 2 skill points, and to advance from Master Level to the next stage requires 3 skill points investing.

As for Basic Swordsmanship and the like, with the advancement in Fist Technique, these skills will naturally be influenced, indirectly affecting weapons skills like Swordsmanship.

So Fist Technique is his current focus and core.

If there is still a chance to level up, according to the calculation, the next stage might require 4 Skill Points.

And the difficulty in acquiring 4 Skill Points...

Thinking of this, Lu Ren’s heart sank slightly. If he practiced according to normal time, he would just need to spend some time in the Anomalous Space Point to gain at least 1 Skill Point performance.

Compared to step-by-step practice, this rapid upgrade method is as fast as riding a rocket.

After contemplating for a moment, Lu Ren finally made up his mind that after he caught the person who wanted to kill him, he would actively propose to go to the Exotic Realm to maximize the benefits.

He is afraid of death, but waiting for death and fearing death are two different concepts. If his strength cannot continue to improve, he might find it difficult to cope with future drastic changes.

Feeling slightly moved in his heart, he decisively added 3 Skill Points to the Phoenix Falcon Fist, and the Skill Level of Phoenix Falcon Fist on the attribute panel jumped from Master Level to Outstanding Level.

Before Lu Ren could feel anything, his eyes suddenly bulged out, his body on the bed leaned forward with effort, he opened his mouth wide but couldn’t make any sound, saliva, snot, and tears uncontrollably flowed out.

He felt that all the muscles in his body were breaking, yes, not just tearing but completely shattering, then reorganizing. His bones seemed to turn to powder before sprouting new substances, his blood vessels became thicker and tougher, his heart was stabbed violently as if stirred, beating more powerfully, and his internal organs underwent earth-shattering changes.

For three full hours, the upgrade of the Phoenix Falcon Fist to the Outstanding level completed its transformation of him, along with an extreme hunger and weak feeling caused by rapid energy consumption, and a powerful bursting sense from the body.

With his trembling fingers, he took out two Highly Concentrated Nutrient Pills from the bag beside him, chewed them up and swallowed them.

The taste was not very good, but it helped him recover a lot of physical strength in a short time. Lu Ren took a deep breath, showing a look of finally having survived.

The painful torture just now made him feel an inability to seek life or death, like going through rounds of cruel punishment repeatedly. Thinking back now, the chill penetrated his heart.

Mad was really terrifying.

But the resulting effect was gratifying.

The upgrade and transformation of Phoenix Falcon Fist brought huge improvements to him, his spirit directly broke through to 25 points, constitution due to the additional special effect attributes of Phoenix Falcon Fist reached an exaggerated 30 points, showing a doubling growth, strength similarly increased by 10 full points.

The agility most emphasized by Phoenix Falcon Fist also exceeded Lu Ren’s expectations, directly upgrading to 38 points.

Is this the feeling of Great Perfection Realm of Fist Technique?!

Lu Ren unconsciously clenched his palm, feeling as if a punch could crack the earth.

This is a phantom feeling brought by a dramatic increase in strength, which will disappear after adapting to power.

It can be said that the strength increase brought by the Great Perfection Realm of Phoenix Falcon Fist is quite exaggerated. But if you think about it carefully, merging twenty years of hard work into that short two or three hours of transformation makes reasonable sense.

His current attributes change as follows.

"Surname: Lu Ren

Spirit: 25 (Skill Level 6872/12520)

Constitution: 32 (Skill Level 5762/19450)

Power: 32 (Skill Level 7430/19450)

Agility: 38 (Skill Level 9821/22870)

Skills:

Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient 13780/15748),

Phoenix Falcon Fist (Perfection, Outstanding 20202/59272) Attribute bonus: [Double Rapid Attack, Double Penetration, Triple Light Body, Triple Recovery, Triple Durability],

Lamp of Freedom (Slightly Accomplished 670/8520) Attribute bonus: [Mind-Body Resonance, First Burst],

Basic Dagger Technique (Initial Glimpse 1/3932),

Gun Skill (Slightly Accomplished 662/6520)

Free Attribute Points: 5

Skill Points: 0"

Regarding the remaining 5 freely allocable Attribute Points, Lu Ren didn’t hesitate to allocate them on Spirit, because Phoenix Falcon Fist lacks Meditation in static spiritual cultivation, and the time obtained from Lamp of Freedom is not long enough, no clear benefit is seen, so the Spirit increase is not much.

The improvement of Spirit Attribute just can inversely drive the cultivation speed of Lamp of Freedom.

Thirty points exactly reach the average limit state that humans can achieve. As for exceeding thirty points, as previously mentioned, everyone’s limit state is different. Those strong in physique and strength tend to excel in power and constitution, while agile bodies tend to excel in agility.

One reason is the characteristic of the Fist Technique practiced by Martial Arts Family will cause martial artists to have different focal directions.

Another reason is the innate and acquired body constitution conditioning, also influenced by nutrition supplements when practicing martial arts.

It can be said that the final state of Great Perfectionists of Fist Technique can reach different physical limit conditions, but only the cultivation in the soul seems to be dead-ended at this extreme of 30 points.

Regarding whether that’s the case, Lu Ren is not sure, just after adding all 5 attribute points to Spirit, he can clearly feel a thin barrier existing, he can even vaguely see the road ahead, but this thin barrier firmly locks it.

To break through to Bright Awakening Realm in a state of Mind-Body Resonance seems to rely on the method of the Lamp of Freedom Observation and further upgrading of Phoenix Falcon Fist.

The next step for the Phoenix Falcon Fist in Perfect State should be Limit Breaking.

Looking again at his own attribute panel, the cultivation from the Lamp of Freedom Observation combined with Skill Points pushed his Spirit Attribute also to the human limit state of 30 points.
