CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 99: WINGED FLYING BEAR, CIRCULATION OF DEATH QI_2

A punch was thrown.

A sharp, piercing whistle resonated through the air, creating rippling white rings of air.

Suddenly, it struck the head of a motionless woman in front of him.

"BANG!"

The latter’s skull immediately caved in like a smashed watermelon, then burst apart with a POP!

"WHOOSH—"

Lu Yuan stood firm, exhaling slowly as his expanded body returned to its original size.

He was currently in the Consciousness Space.

He had designated Gao Qing as an [Imaginary Enemy].

Then, using the freeze function, he had immobilized her completely, turning her into a mere punching bag.

Such an exercise was almost useless for actual combat practice.

But...

It felt so satisfying!

Three more rounds, and that should be enough, Lu Yuan thought, his gaze swiftly sweeping over the headless female corpse on the ground, lingering for a moment on her graceful curves.

Three more activations of the [Imaginary Enemy] followed.

When Lu Yuan opened his eyes, fully exiting the Consciousness Space, the oppressive feeling in his chest had finally dissipated.

「At this moment, Lu Yuan was in his bedroom.」

With the Mouse Monster dead, the trouble that had plagued him for so long could finally come to an end.

I need to find a chance to ask Zhou Ling how this Mouse Monster came to be. Hopefully, there are no more accomplices... Lu Yuan mused, shifting his attention back to his gains for the day.

He had painstakingly practiced the Crane Cry Punch for so long, and now he had finally mastered and completely unlocked it.

[Spirit Crane Skill: Crane Shadow Floating in the Air!]

It’s actually a Sure-kill Skill for my profession! No wonder its position on the panel is so high, and its power is outrageous... Lu Yuan savored the process of executing the [Crane Shadow Floating in the Air] punch.

In essence, it involved concentrating all his power onto a single point and then unleashing it.

This aspect was somewhat similar to [Special Burst].

However, the underlying principles of the two were completely different.

[Special Burst] primarily mobilized muscular strength, enhancing its endurance and explosive force by altering how the muscles exerted power.

The power was then transmitted sequentially from the base to the peak, enabling Lu Yuan to unleash a burst more than twice his normal power.

As for [Crane Shadow Floating in the Air], it required all his mental focus to be gathered at one point. A strong spirit and willpower were crucial for this process.

This was achieved by commanding it with Spiritual Power.

It seems that improving my Intelligence is indispensable. On one hand, it enhances my martial arts comprehension; on the other, it’s likely a hidden prerequisite for executing profound martial arts,

Lu Yuan considered.

His next training focus would be Qin Feng.

Qin Feng also possessed an extremely powerful Sure-kill Skill, executed using finger techniques.

Lu Yuan guessed it might be another ultimate technique from the Heaven Water Sect’s Crane Sect True Skill, the [Spirit Crane Skill].

With his experience from [Crane Shadow Floating in the Air], he was determined to master this Sure-kill Skill!

Composing himself, Lu Yuan accessed his profession panel.

After his Fighter class rose to Level 6, he gained 1 new attribute point and 1 skill point.

After a moment’s hesitation regarding the attribute point, Lu Yuan added it to Strength.

Agility could be improved through the Crane-shaped Pile. His Intelligence and Physique attributes were already quite high, so adding to Strength was the most suitable choice at this stage.

With 1 point added, his 13 Strength instantly became 14.

The physical change was immediate; Lu Yuan felt all his muscles suddenly grow a size larger.

His originally well-proportioned and handsome physique once again became ’robust’.

The T-shirt he had bought recently could barely contain his bulging pectoral muscles; his overall size had increased again.

Lu Yuan went to the full-length mirror on his wardrobe to examine his current self.

It had been over a month since his last haircut. Due to his enhanced physique, his metabolism had quickened, causing his hair to grow rapidly.

It was now almost covering his eyes.

His face alone—fair and handsome, with slightly long bangs—gave him the air of a campus heartthrob.

But from the neck down, his entire image underwent a dramatic shift.

A tall, sturdy frame packed with firm, full muscles—the physique of a fitness fanatic.

Now, as Lu Yuan stood before the mirror, his eyes beneath his thick black hair occasionally gleamed with a sharp light. His skin was fair, and his stature imposing.

Even without doing or saying anything, he exuded a palpable sense of pressure.

Lu Yuan shook his head, brushing the hair from his forehead to reveal his handsome and bright features. I need to increase my Agility quickly, he thought. Otherwise, this look is making me seem more and more like a villain...

His attention returned to the profession panel.

He still had one skill point to allocate, and there wasn’t much to deliberate.

Although Lu Yuan currently needed skill points for many things, the top priority was undoubtedly the [Death Teller (Extraordinary)] panel.

There was still one basic skill on it that hadn’t been unlocked yet.

Using 1 skill point, the final skill on the [Death Teller (Extraordinary)] panel was unlocked.

[Basic Profession Skill: Circulation of Death Qi (0/100)]

The moment he saw the skill’s name, Lu Yuan’s eyes flickered slightly.

If I’m not mistaken, I should have finally obtained the extraordinary ability I’ve longed for, he thought.

Lu Yuan attempted to activate the skill.

Instantly, even without activating the [Death Omen Eye], he clearly saw—

Wisps and strands of Death Qi were being drawn from his own body and the surrounding environment.

They then converged on the surface of his body.

However, it was very faint.

So faint it was as if someone smoking had casually blown a few puffs of smoke onto him.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, his thoughts turning.

Soon, the black Death Qi enveloping him began to gather towards his palms.
