CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: MINOR ACHIEVEMENT IN THUNDER SLASH, LIFE GHOST HUNTING PROCEDURE

After Fang Qingyu politely declined the last person, he rubbed his face that was stiff from smiling too much and sighed helplessly.

"So tiring..."

Various commerce associations emerged one after another, each boasting about their benefits.

Guaranteeing your life without worries, promising to get you a Life Pearl overnight, offering houses, women, clubs, and so on.

In truth, Fang Qingyu didn’t quite understand the latter part of the offers, apart from the first three items.

But their tone seemed excessively promising.

Without needing to understand, he could directly refuse them all.

Stretching his body a bit.

Fang Qingyu returned inside the Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, he was the only one left.

He thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of advancing continuously on his own.

After all, the strong are inherently solitary.

Standing before the wooden man district, Fang Qingyu began practicing Pile Skill Boxing.

What Coach Zheng said was right.

Power is the foundation of everything.

Otherwise, without 300KG, one cannot learn the Observation Method.

Or even if the Martial Technique is mastered to the fullest.

With only 100KG of power, you wouldn’t be able to defeat those terrifying Life Ghosts!

After lying down for several days without practicing.

The feeling of reactivating his body made Fang Qingyu indulge himself in it.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Apprentice" experience +17]

[Your professional basic skill "Hidden Dragon Posture" experience +25]

[Your professional basic skill "Basic Boxing" experience +22]

After two hours passed, Fang Qingyu looked at today’s gains.

The two foundational skills were still far from leveling up.

But the profession itself was only 75 points away from leveling up.

It’s likely when he joins the Elite Class, he can break through.

Then he looked at the panel of the Baji Fist.

Actually, after killing the Life Ghost that night.

Apart from unlocking the Life Ghost Atlas function, he made some progress in the proficiency of the Baji Fist.

Originally only having 22 points of proficiency, it skyrocketed to 57 points.

It seems that in combat, the speed of gaining Martial Technique experience is faster.

Fang Qingyu noted this silently.

Lastly, he looked at the plus sign next to the new skill, Thunder Slash.

Collecting the diagrams of the belly fiend rewarded him with a skill point which he hadn’t used yet.

He intentionally saved it until now.

Thunder Slash, level up for me!

The warmth from the skill point suddenly exploded inside his skull.

Countless blade shadows surging and reorganizing in the depths of his consciousness, as if thunder flashed through a daze.

Crack—

His spine suddenly emitted a crisp crackle like frying beans, the muscles on his body winding tightly around his bones and growing.

As Fang Qingyu reopened his eyes...

Rotating his wrist, feeling the precise control over even the turning of the wrist bones.

This experience was somewhat different from the Baji Fist.

But his physical body still showed growth.

[Power: 16.7→17.0]

[Speed: 16.0→16.2]

[Physique: 16.3→16.5]

However, the greatest improvement was in Thunder Slash.

Looking at the panel.

[Congratulations, your profession advanced skill "Thunder Slash" has leveled up to Lv.2 (0/200)]

Fang Qingyu walked to the weapon rack and took out a Horizontal Blade.

Walked to the wooden man post.

Clang!

As the blade gleamed and unsheathed, a wave of sound exploded in the air.

This ordinary "horizontal slash," accompanied by a thunderous boom, swept across diagonally.

The steel layer outside the wooden man was cut open with a trace.

Fang Qingyu leaned closer to inspect, clearly seeing a slightly charred mark on the cut surface, as if struck by Thunder Strike.

"Is this the power of Minor Achievement."

It seems Coach Zheng’s proficiency in Thunder Slash far exceeds Minor Achievement.

Comparing the marks, it’s not just a matter of power disparity.

But also the difference in the incision.

"From what Coach Zheng said today, Level 1 equals beginner, Level 2 equals Minor Achievement, and there are several proficiency divisions further that are undefined."

"But there’s still not enough skill points..."

Fang Qingyu returned the blade to the rack, went to the changing room for a shower, and then left the Martial Arts Hall.

It’s time to start working hard.

"Master Zhang, where are you guys now?"

After finishing a massage at the club, Fang Qingyu called Master Zhang.

Then got in a brand new A8, driving to the afternoon’s work location.

Last time, just halfway through activation, he encountered the Life Ghost incident, today he must activate the profession and see what skills it will bring.

"...Qingzi, you are...??"

When he arrived, Master Zhang, the foreman, looked at the brand new car, somewhat stunned.

"Ahem, I’m working as a driver for someone, just a side gig, just came by to make some extra money whenever I can."

To prevent Master Zhang from not calling him next time, Fang Qingyu casually made up an excuse.

Originally everyone was just poor.

Suddenly you become rich and still come by.

It’s not to work, but to show off.

After working through several dirty hours, finishing today’s task, Fang Qingyu spent a little money to treat everyone to a bottle of water before leaving.

Sitting in the car, looking at a new page of the manual.

[Profession: Mover Lv.1 (3/100)]

[Professional Basic Skill: Resilience Lv.1 (5/100)]

This time the profession was not chosen wrong.

Originally Fang Qingyu thought the skills awakened from being a mover wouldn’t be of much use.

Unexpectedly, it gave him a surprise.

[Resilience: Strengthen the pressure threshold of muscles and ligaments, delay fatigue and reduce the risk of wear and tear, simultaneously converting moving impact into endurance increments.]

The effect of this skill, not to mention during work.

Whether strengthening muscles and ligaments or delaying fatigue, it can play a fairly significant role in Fang Qingyu’s martial arts practice.

As for the specific effects, they still have to be seen in tomorrow’s practice.

Ate some food casually by the street.

Fang Qingyu began to head towards the fighting gym.

He walked straight into the office.

Qiao Ge and Lv Chen, the two of them, were huddled in front of the computer screen, intently watching something.

When they heard the knock, they both turned their heads.

Upon seeing it was Fang Qingyu, Qiao Ge immediately welcomed him warmly.

"Qingzi is here, sit, sit, sit, you don’t mind if I call you that, right?"

"Brother Qiao, Brother Chen, of course, I don’t mind."

Seeing this, Fang Qingyu also smiled.

"Calling you that is too formal, let me introduce myself again."

Qiao Ge stepped up and grabbed Fang Qingyu’s arm, speaking heartily.

"Former Elite Student from Brahma Martial Arts Hall, Qiao Yongkang, Power 454KG, you can call me Old Qiao from now on."

"Likewise, former Elite Student, Lv Chen, Power 412KG."

Lv Chen also walked out from behind the desk, smiling as he introduced himself.

"...."

Fang Qingyu was led to sit on the sofa.

So, these two strong people were behaving like ordinary folks around me!?

"Haha, don’t be surprised, you know the rules."

Old Qiao couldn’t help but laugh.

"Otherwise, how do you think I could have two businesses, and still opened on Five Miles Street?"

Fang Qingyu thought about it and it made sense.

It’s just that their strength was a bit unexpected.

Knowing now that power becomes harder to increase later.

Over 400KG of power is equivalent to half a ton.

Enough to punch a full-grown bull to death.

Not to mention, they must have learned the Observation Method.

"Qingzi, I heard from Brother Qin that you’d like to join our Purple Stone Commerce Association!?"

After getting to know each other again.

Old Qiao rubbed his hands and asked warmly.

"Is it true?"

Fang Qingyu nodded but still had a furrowed brow.

One could say that now other than knowing a little information on Life Ghosts, he knew nothing else.

"Of course, you can, Old Lv, close the door."

Upon hearing, Old Qiao immediately asked Lv Chen to close the door.
