[You have picked up a (Limit-Breaking Light Orb)!]
[Limit-Breaking Light Orb: Residual Will of a Martial Artist]
[Quality: Primary]
[Effect: Can somewhat enhance martial arts skill proficiency]
Inside the martial arts hall, three Light Orbs of light red color were touched by Chen Feng in succession, and the related information quickly appeared on the panel.
He didn't pay much attention to them and didn't use them immediately.
Chen Feng's gaze was entirely fixed on a light blue Light Orb.
Faintly, he seemed to see a faint shadow of a fist, wrapped inside it.
"What is this Light Orb?"
Curious, Chen Feng attempted to raise his hand and touch it.
Buzz!
In an instant, the light flashed, and the blue light surged into his body!
[You have picked up a (Skill Light Orb)!]
[Skill Light Orb: Martial Artist's Skill Inheritance]
[Skill: Explosive Fist]
[Effect: Can condense energy, amplifying the power of the punch!]
[You have comprehended it at the beginner level!]
[Explosive Fist: Beginner (1%) +]
Numerous insights flooded his mind, and a new memory emerged.
It was the sweat and effort he had put into practicing his fist technique day and night, until one day, he suddenly grasped the entry level!
"Explosive Fist?"
Intrigued, Chen Feng couldn't help but want to try it.
Immediately, following the special method in his memory, he quickly guided the energy, gradually gathering it in his arm.
The veins bulged, and his right arm, already muscular, now seemed to have grown stronger by twenty percent.
The muscles stacked up, and the blood vessels twisted and coiled like tree roots.
Finally, with a heavy punch, Chen Feng aimed at a sandbag in the martial arts hall and suddenly launched his right fist forward!
Boom!
A violent howling sound entered his ears, as if the air had been torn apart.
Finally, with a thud!
The standing hard-skin sandbag sank, its stable bottom suddenly lifting off the ground.
The floor of the martial arts hall echoed with a thundering sound, and roughly estimated, the bag had flown back by two meters.
"This punch... is at least 140 kilograms!"
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and Chen Feng was greatly surprised.
He hadn't expected the explosive fist's effect to be so strong.
It directly increased his explosive power by 40%!
It was close to the full-force strike of an amateur ninth-dan fighter.
"But, it's not without drawbacks..."
Looking down at his right fist, Chen Feng could feel a slight rebound ache from his flesh.
He knew that this might be due to his physical constitution not being strong enough.
A person's explosive power was closely related to their physical fitness.
Muscles, fascia, bones... these were all key factors in generating power.
If the body's constitution wasn't strong enough, even with great power, it was easy to injure oneself.
Besides...
"This technique also consumes a lot of energy."
Quietly sensing his body, Chen Feng noticed that the punch he just threw had probably consumed at least one-fifth of his stamina.
In other words, he could only use it five times at most in a short period.
Otherwise, his stamina would be exhausted, and he would be left vulnerable.
"But that's more than enough."
"It can definitely serve as my trump card."
Nodding in satisfaction, Chen Feng immediately turned his attention to the three Limit-Breaking Points on the panel.
If he could increase his explosive power by 40% with just the beginner level, what if he mastered it?
Feeling an impulse, he looked at the '+' symbol after the Explosive Fist skill and couldn't help but silently wish for an upgrade.
Buzz!
More insights about the Explosive Fist appeared, and the skill progress immediately changed.
[Explosive Fist: Beginner (11%) +]
"One Limit-Breaking Point only gives 10%?"
His gaze sharpened, and Chen Feng immediately abandoned the idea of continuing to allocate points.
This was more demanding than upgrading a mastery-level technique in free combat.
He only had two Limit-Breaking Points left and had to maximize the effect.
"Sanda is currently at 39%. Even if I use all the Limit-Breaking Points, it will be hard to reach mastery."
"Judo is at 41%, and with two Limit-Breaking Points, I can definitely break through to mastery... this will also improve my strength and constitution."
Making a decision, Chen Feng immediately looked at the '+' symbol after the Judo skill.
"Upgrade!"
Buzz!
Numerous insights about Judo flooded into his mind.
Stance, legwork, defense techniques... all the techniques became instinctual memories.
In an instant, the panel information changed again.
[Judo: Mastery (8%)]
[Strength: 9.2 → 9.5]
[Agility: 8.8 → 9.0]
[Constitution: 8.9 → 9.2]
[Willpower: 9.4 → 9.6]
"Indeed, Judo is now mastered."
Looking at the panel prompt, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.
With this upgrade, his physical fitness, especially his strength and constitution, had notably improved.
The former would allow his punch to be even more powerful, and the Explosive Fist's power would increase.
The latter would ensure he had more stamina, and even the strain from an Explosive Fist could be better supported and alleviated.
"This martial arts hall is truly my treasure."
His eyes brightened as Chen Feng looked around the martial arts hall.
He was currently at the outermost training area, closest to the main door.
The brown wooden floor was laid out, and the lights inside were off.
The streetlights outside cast a dim yellow light through the windows. Looking inside, he could see several separated training rooms, distributed along the corridor on both sides.
Further ahead, there was a staircase leading to the second floor.
"Let's continue."
Filled with greater anticipation, Chen Feng used his perception ability to sense that there were Light Orbs in both the training rooms and on the second floor.
His steps quickened as he walked forward.
In the next moment...
With a creak, one of the wooden doors closest to the outer training area suddenly opened.
Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped, looking at it warily.
A figure appeared.
Dressed in a form-fitting white martial arts uniform, a black thread embroidered the character "Ji" (Extreme) on the left chest.
Barefoot, the person was tall, about 1.85 meters.
The limbs were sturdy, and the hands, hanging by the waist, had thick knuckles, showing clear signs of being a martial artist.
However, as he looked up...
Chen Feng's pupils shrank.
Under the messy hair was a white and black patterned mask.
Most of the facial features were hidden, with only a pair of pitch-black eyes visible, with no whites at all.
It looked as if the person's eyes had been stained with ink, resembling the mist outside.
In that instant, their eyes met.
Chen Feng's hair stood on end, as if being stared at by a wild beast, and a chill ran down his spine.
Danger!!!
BOOM!
The martial arts hall shook.
The man in the white martial arts uniform suddenly stomped the ground turned into a blur.
The next thing Chen Feng knew, he was in front o him.
Riiiip!
Suddenly, the world froze.
A howling punch covered in white mist tore through the air.
DEATH!
A sense of dread flashed through his mind, and Chen Feng felt his body stiffen.
Time seemed to stop as he urged himself to move!
MOOVEE!
He mentally shouted, but the punch, like a launched missile, grew closer.
Just as it seemed he would be blasted apart by the punch; Chen Feng finally felt his body regain awareness. He quickly fell back and dodged.
Boom!
The punch missed, but Chen Feng still felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The punch never touched him, the pain was caused just the aftershock a few inches away.
Thud!
The next moment.
He saw the masked man freeze for a moment, his foot stomping heavily, making a muffled sound on the wooden floor.
Then, his left shoulder moved.
Chen Feng saw the frightening left punch coming from the waist with a tremendous force.
Seeing this, his heart grew colder.
He shouted angrily, immediately using the Explosive Fist, hoping for a sliver of chance.
Boom!
Crack!
The two fists collided with a cracking sound.
Pain tore through him, and Chen Feng was sent flying backward at high speed. Blood quietly seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the masked man charging again, he didn't hesitate. Taking advantage of the backward motion, he grabbed his right arm and bolted out the martial arts hall door!
