Chapter 154 - 139: Capability and Profound True Martial Arts
Riverside.
Pouring rain.
A curtain of rain fills the sky.
Chen Sheng stands in the rain.
The rainwater vibrates the air, making a sound as it strikes the ground and the river surface.
Right now, to Chen Sheng’s ears, it sounds like a beautiful symphony.
He stretches out his palm.
Looking at the raindrops that land in his palm.
Chen Sheng holds his breath and concentrates, his eyes completely focused.
“Good.”
He speaks softly, as if talking to someone else.
But there is no one else around.
Having said that.
He withdraws his hand, letting the rainwater slide between his fingers.
[Chen Sheng] [Strength: 97 (174)]
[Agility: 96 (173)] [Constitution: 107 (183)]
[Skill Points: 67]
This is Chen Sheng’s current attribute panel.
Upgrading to the Profound and True Martial Arts Second Layer, his strength and agility both increased by 20 points. His constitution increased by 25 points.
Now Chen Sheng,
With only his basic attributes, he is only a step away from breaking 100 points across the board.
Moreover, the terrifying power brought by the second layer of Profound and True Martial Arts is far from over.
The turtle shell pattern, which now no longer floats on Chen Sheng’s body surface like it did during the first level, is now engraved on his skin.
It no longer appears only when the Profound and True Martial Arts breathing technique is activated.
Instead, it constantly provides protection to Chen Sheng, and it will automatically reveal itself when he is attacked.
Not only that,
The turtle shell pattern now has a new ability compared to the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts.
Counter shock.
The previous turtle shell pattern had the function of unloading force,
It could disperse the enemy’s power throughout Chen Sheng’s body or even pour it into the ground. But now,
While unloading force,
The turtle shell pattern will first absorb the enemy’s attack force and return it all.
Only the force that exceeds the absorption limit of the turtle shell pattern will truly fall on Chen Sheng’s body and be dispersed by the unloading function.
In this way,
Chen Sheng’s defensive ability has been elevated to an extremely terrifying realm.
Furthermore, he can use the turtle shell pattern to counterattack while defending.
Now, even if he encounters an enemy with attributes higher than his own, as long as it is not an overwhelming advantage, Chen Sheng can be said to be in an invincible position.
And this,
Is still only one of the changes in the second layer of Profound and True Martial Arts.
The bigger change is in another ability.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng once again recalls his breakthrough to the second layer during his illusion encounter.
At that time, his consciousness was gradually fading, and he was about to drown in the illusion.
It seemed as it someone whispered something in his ear.
At that time, Chen Sheng almost had to concentrate all of his remaining attention to barely make out what the other person was saying.
“Don’t be afraid.” “Don’t be scared.” “Accept them.”
“Now, they are friends.” Friends?
Who are friends?
Chen Sheng immediately realized that the other person was probably talking about the surrounding water flow.
True or false,
At that time, the powerless Chen Sheng seemed to have no choice but to believe the other person.
He immediately gave up resistance.
He let the water flow compress his body and pour into his lungs.
At first,
The intense suffocation caused Chen Sheng to instinctively want to resist. Fortunately, he forced himself to restrain and let the water flow do as it pleased.
Thus,
Chen Sheng’s eyes completely sank into darkness.
But soon,
In the darkness, a deep blue light spot appeared.
The light spot quickly approached, enlarged, and enveloped Chen Sheng.
After that,
Chen Sheng woke up from his coma.
As soon as he woke up, he realized something was wrong.
The world was very noisy.
The raindrops that fell from the sky seemed to be conveying some kind of information to him.
Vaguely,
Chen Sheng seemed to be able to feel the consciousness and emotions of the surrounding water flow.
They were cheering and jumping for joy.
Glad that they had a new friend. This kind of experience,
Was also quite novel for Chen Sheng.
During the time when Li Hengkong and Qi Ming arrived,
He had been studying the new changes in this ability.
The result was quite surprising.
When he broke through the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, Chen Sheng’s affinity for water greatly increased.
He could breathe underwater, sense humidity, and have his body attributes slightly increased in a humid environment.
This could only be considered as a small addition to the breakthrough of the first level of Profound and True Martial Arts, which was better than nothing.
But now,
This ability, like the turtle shell pattern, can bring extremely terrifying changes to Chen Sheng’s strength. First,
It was about controlling water flow.
Water, beneficial to all things, can be soft or hard.
For example… water droplets can actively absorb the free-flowing Qi in the environment, constantly increasing their own mass and weight.
As well as, increasing the pressure of the water flow, making it able to bind enemies.
Still, in a short time, gathering the moisture in the air, increasing the environmental humidity, and greatly enhancing Chen Sheng’s attributes.
Such as heavy rain, which can directly increase Chen Sheng’s body attributes by one-third.
On Chen Sheng’s attribute panel, the average of 170 terrifying attributes were acquired through activating the two breathing states and the enhancement brought by heavy rain on his body.
Such a terrifying property.
Chen Sheng had to be extra careful in every action he took.
Otherwise, it would cause extensive damage to the surrounding environment.
Just like earlier, when he clashed fists with Li Hengkong.
Chen Sheng merely used a force similar to that of tapping fists and directly shattered the old man’s arm.
That’s why he didn’t pursue Li Hengkong but chose to ask the river water and raindrops for help.
He feared not controlling his strength well enough.
Li Hengkong would turn into a flesh and blood firework and explode on the spot.
“Hoo- – ”
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng slowly exited the breathing state.
It was difficult to control his body in that state just now.
He moved his hands and feet a bit on the spot.
Only then did he take a step and head towards the riverside.
“Chen…..Chen Sheng?!”
“You’re not dead?!”
As he reached the halfway point,
A horrified scream suddenly came from not far away.
It was Qi Ming, whose face was full of confusion and completely unaware of what had happened.
The ancestor had just left him and ran towards the river alone.
Before he could figure out what had happened,
He saw a figure slowly coming out of the rain curtain.
It was Chen Sheng, whom he thought had already died.
In surprise,
Qi Ming let out a scream.
But as soon as the words were spoken,
Qi Ming quickly reacted to the situation.
The ancestor was gone.
Leaving him alone to deal with Chen Sheng?
And a Chen Sheng without even a single scratch on his body?
Although he didn’t know why the ancestor ran to the river,
Qi Ming’s heart already had a vague guess.
But this guess was too horrifying; he didn’t dare think about it in detail.
However, when facing Chen Sheng,
There was no need to think.
Run!
so,
Bang!
A muffled sound as Qi Ming’s figure dashed toward another direction.
At the same time,
He took out his phone, which had already been soaked by the rain.
Fortunately, modern phones are waterproof. Otherwise, they would malfunction.
Without hesitation,
Qi Ming prepared to make a call to the Martial Arts Association.
With the strength demonstrated by Chen Sheng,
No one would believe that he wasn’t the killer of the Disciple of the Power Sect!
However,
Thump!
Qi Ming had only taken a few steps before,
He fell on his knees.
With a snap,
The phone also fell to the ground.
No one pressed the dial button.
“What….what’s going on?!”
Qi Ming’s face was full of shock, feeling as if a weight of ten thousand pounds was pressing down on his body and continuing to increase.
Causing him to only be able to kneel on the ground, his body bending towards the ground.
But Chen Sheng was still not far away,
And there were no people around in the surroundings. Such a bizarre scene made his inner fear grow rapidly.
Whoosh!
Qi Ming’s eyes suddenly widened.
He recalled the scene of Li Hengkong running on the river surface and diving into the water.
At that time, he thought Li Hengkong wanted to swim away.
But now… experiencing this pressure personally, Qi Ming seemed to understand something.
His inner fear was growing incessantly.
The expression on Qi Ming’s face gradually became hazy.
The sound of Chen Sheng’s footsteps was getting closer and closer.
The thick and strong green tendons on Qi Ming’s neck burst out in an instant.
He struggled desperately to stand up,
But against the pressure brought by the water droplets, it was useless.
“Why are you so strong?!!!”
Qi Ming looked down at the ground beneath him, listening to the ever-approaching footsteps.
“Why–”
His eyes bloodshot, he suddenly roared.
Bang!
The sound abruptly stopped.
In midair, a sky full of blood suddenly burst open.
“So annoying.”
Chen Sheng, with no expression on his face, stepped over Qi Ming and walked slowly towards the riverside.
He reached out his hand,
Allowing the rainwater to wash away the blood in his palm.
Behind him,
A thump,
The headless body slowly fell to the ground..
