After the beast tide at midnight.
Su Tongxi, freshly washed and fragrant, shyly put on white silk and a see-through short skirt, tying her hair into twin ponytails.
She mustered up all her courage tonight, ready to reward her Brother Kirin well.
However, Su Lin stumbled into the room in the dark and was out like a light as soon as he hit the pillow.
"? Brother Kirin..."
"ZzZ" (snoring)
"Brother Kirin?"
"ZzZ" (snoring)
Su Tongxi’s face stiffened slightly.
Through the dim moonlight outside the window, she looked down at the clothes she was wearing, and her cheeks instantly turned peach red, even her ears flushed with embarrassnt.
She quickly got out of bed to change.
...
The next day, before dawn.
Su Lin was already up, stepping into the courtyard with his saber.
Perhaps he was too exhausted yesterday, and the anticipation for the third entry was suppressed by the weariness of his body, so he did not toss and turn restlessly as he did last week.
Last night, he fell asleep almost imdiately after hitting the pillow, deeply and without even thinking to bother Humpty Dumpty.
Today, since he wasn’t going out to hunt, he decided to practice his sword skill more.
His martial arts talent could be described as disastrously poor.
The speed of accumulating Qi and blood through daily Breathing Technique practice was like downloading a 4K adult movie on an ancient 3G mobile network, unbearably slow.
The enhancent of Qi and blood could only rely on exotic items like Treasure at.
However, practicing the sword was a different world.
The speed of progress was almost visible to the naked eye!
The clear, tangible feeling of becoming stronger made Su Lin obsessed, wishing he could devote all his energy to it.
Yesterday, a lucky idea struck him, applying the thod of "Soldier" to crossbow arrow shooting, and he was still pondering it now.
That feeling... seed sohow different from purely using "Soldier."
Infusing Qi and blood into the arrow, killing enemies remotely with a crossbow.
If this thod of Qi and blood manipulation was not yet mastered by others, wouldn’t he be a pioneering founder?
At this thought, Su Lin’s heart ward slightly.
However, to avoid future misunderstandings, he had not yet nad this thod.
Swish!
The saber sliced through the air, slashing towards the wooden stake.
Su Lin multitasked, directing the saber with "Soldier" while thinking.
But the saber marks on the stake beca more concentrated, already as thin as a coin’s thickness.
The state of "Five Hundred Transformations into One" was almost within reach.
After five hundred slashes, Su Lin was only covered in a thin layer of sweat.
"The power of the Tendon Lock Realm is certainly out of reach, but compared to Skin Lock, Flesh Lock is worlds apart," he remarked, sheathing his saber.
He then gazed at his open palm.
The originally fair skin now appeared even more translucent;
And the muscle fibers beneath the skin were worlds apart from before last night’s breakthrough!
Muscles are the source of power.
The transformation of power brought by unsealing the Flesh Lock was astonishingly extre.
Upon breakthrough, a single arm possessed the strength of a thousand pounds!
With both arms, the power exceeded two thousand pounds, over a ton!
The Tier Two Treasure at consud last night further boosted his accumulated Qi and blood to twenty percent.
Now his dual-arm strength already surpassed three thousand pounds!
Not only strength but stamina had multiplied several tis over.
Such abundant Qi and blood... Su Lin’s eyes flashed with brilliance, as he raised the long saber high, with Qi and blood roaring!
In an instant, the saber’s edge exploded with a faint arc of electricity, slicing down with the force of wind and thunder!
Boom——!
The saber strike was like a clap of thunder!
The hard wooden stake over two ters high and half a ter thick exploded, shattering into flying wood pieces!
"Brother Kirin?!"
The commotion startled Su Tongxi, who rushed out, witnessing the scene in the courtyard, and was montarily stunned on the spot.
"No worries, just testing the power of an all-out strike."
Su Lin was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at the ss on the ground:
"Heh, the effect... is not bad?"
Not... bad?
Su Tongxi’s apricot eyes widened, montarily speechless.
Although she hadn’t experienced how powerful her full-force strike could be now, she certainly couldn’t split such a wooden stake into splinters with one saber slash!
Is this... the power of "Soldier"?
She felt both amazed and envious, as she hadn’t even mastered "Release" yet.
Su Lin didn’t feel anything was wrong with splitting the wooden stake with a saber, and he was also accustod to the arcs of electricity flashing amidst the surge of Qi and blood.
Qi and blood were like biological electricity, so what’s unusual about a few electrical arcs?
After finishing his sword practice, he glanced at the sky, noting the sun was now up.
Su Lin tidied up the broken wood scattered around the courtyard and returned to the hall, idly playing with the long saber and hand crossbow, waiting for the arrival of nine o’clock.
"The third entry..." he silently thought, full of anticipation, "let’s hope for sothing powerful!"
Nine o’clock arrived punctually.
The familiar warm stream surged into his mind.
[Enhancing Energy: Obtainable repeatedly, your next entry refresh randomly grants a higher-tier entry.]
"——Your energy is limitless!"
[Big Buy Special: When your strength advances a small level, you gain a new entry refresh.]
"——Double Eleven carnival! Buying with no regrets!"
[Risky Move: All trap effects are reduced by 50%, lasts for a week, and after a week, gain 3 gold coins.]
"——I bet there’s no bullet in your gun!"
"Oh crap!!!"
Su Lin felt like he’d been struck by lightning, springing up from the sofa!
Three entries!
And they were shining with a radiant glow of one gold and two silver!
His gaze was glued to the second entry, and he gave his thigh a hard slap.
"Oh crap! Why did I unseal the Flesh Lock so early?! What a huge loss!!"
Entries had levels!
Above silver, there was an even more precious gold!
"Big Buy Special" was clearly a gold entry!
The effect was nothing short of heaven-defying, granting a new entry refresh upon a small level strength upgrade!
If he could have delayed breaking through the Flesh Lock by a day, he could have snagged a new entry for free right now!
It was a complete loss!
No hesitation was needed.
In the face of the dazzling gold, the other two silver entries paled into insignificance.
"This is it! [Big Buy Special]!"
After making his choice, surprise and regret still intertwined in his heart.
"That piece of leftover Tier Two Treasure at is enough for four or five als. Eating it over two or three more als would just about let unlock the Tendon Lock, with a new entry close at hand..." he quickly calculated.
The energy contained in the Tier Two Treasure at was too abundant for him, consuming it every al was truly a waste.
The Treasure at eaten last night still had plenty of active elents lurking within, not yet refined.
Once fully absorbed, his Qi and blood should be able to accumulate to thirty or forty percent.
"At most two days, I’ll definitely enter the Tendon Lock Realm! Then..." Su Lin’s eyes burned with a brilliant light, "I’ll get a new entry for free!"
Moreover, the arrival of the Shunfeng Travel Group was just about two days away.
The excitent was almost uncontainable.
Just at that mont, hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
Su Tongxi, who had just gone out to Uncle’s place, suddenly rushed back ho, speaking excitedly:
"Brother Kirin! A group of stray adventurers has co to the village! Let’s go see if we can hire a tenant?"
Su Lin was imdiately intrigued.
Leaving the courtyard with Su Tongxi, he saw that the village had beco much livelier.
The crowd was all flocking to the marketplace.
It seed the newcors were heading to the marketplace too.
Su Lin followed them.
Along the way, he overheard many discussing the adventurers.
"The adventurers this ti seem to co from a rather large family, I wonder if there’s anything good."
"Can’t count on finding a Flesh Lock Martial Artist, but it’d be nice to find a good-looking woman."
"Looking for won among adventurers? You want those who’ve been played out? Better stick to those in the village, at least you know them."
