Chapter 130: Chapter 124: Fist Meets Flesh—A Man’s True Romance!

Fang Qingyu listened, stunned, and nodded his head.

He hadn’t really noticed this point, having been too engrossed in the battle.

“Hmm, you give it a try.”

This time, Zou Lingzhu moved to the side.

Fang Qingyu took the specially crafted dissection knives and stood before the Life Ghost’s corpse.

“Resentment Mark, activate!”

In an instant, a thin white line began to appear on the surface of the humanoid corpse in front of him, visible only to Fang Qingyu.

A skill exclusive to the Executioner of Fate Ghosts profession!

Resentment Mark.

It marked the most resentful parts of the same-level Life Ghost’s corpse that could be seen with the naked eye, distinguishing them in various colors.

When it was activated yesterday.

Fang Qingyu gave it a try.

And it almost coincided with the most valuable parts.

However, it only worked on what could be seen with the naked eye.

If it was the internal organs hidden inside, without cutting them open, they wouldn’t be displayed.

Fang Qingyu first took a look around, and the outside of the Life Ghost’s corpse was completely white.

There wasn’t much worth researching.

After a brief preparation, he directly used a small knife to cut open the abdomen.

Various deformed organs inside were also displayed before Fang Qingyu’s eyes.

Most were white…

Only one was green.

Not bad, this was considered a gain.

Fang Qingyu carefully sliced the bloodline connecting around the deformed green organ and held it up with one hand.

“Not bad.”

Zou Lingzhu watched from the side and nodded in agreement.

This was the most valuable thing from the Life Ghost before them.

“Continue.”

But just after giving praise, Zou Lingzhu moved to the next Life Ghost corpse.

Not at all intending to give Fang Qingyu a break.

Time quickly slipped away as they continued working.

Until more than two hours later.

Zou Lingzhu finally spoke.

“Let’s call it a day for now, continue tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Fang Qingyu took off his mask and sighed in relief.

Previously, he didn’t feel much just by watching beside Zou Lingzhu, but after working for more than two hours himself, he realized how exhausting it was.

Not only did he need precision for cutting organs, but also the strength to hack through bones.

Constantly switching between these two tasks.

“I’ll be leaving then.”

Fang Qingyu glanced at the time and bid farewell to Zou Lingzhu.

Then headed to the 88th floor.

Today’s Life Ghost corpses had been thoroughly counted, and the merits promptly updated.

A total of 766 points.

Roughly from over thirty Breakthrough Level, a few Micro Level, and numerous Martial Disciple Level.

Adding the previous 83 points, it’s 849 points.

Exactly enough to exchange for Baji Fist.

Taking hold of the booklet.

Fang Qingyu first went up to the 28th floor to pick up Jiang Wei.

As per her request.

She wanted to watch him practice martial arts.

Fang Qingyu had no reason to refuse.

He practiced martial arts every day, and there were always people watching in the training ground.

Inside the training chamber.

Because Jiang Wei was present, Fang Qingyu only brought her in after applying Thunderstruck Wood Powder to his body and jumping into the barrel.

Then he had no energy left to pay attention to her.

A series of sharp pains spread from inside out.

Jiang Wei sat seriously on the side, observing.

“This Hard Skill suits his approach quite well, but it’s a bit lacking… He needs to cultivate an even better one, or he’ll suffer later.”

An hour later.

When the last bit of potion seeped into his pores.

The activation progress on the diagram reached one hundred percent.

Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body, initiation!

Inside the barrel, Fang Qingyu’s muscles and tendons suddenly trembled at high frequencies.

A bronze sheen emerged on his skin, and deep within his bones came a continuous rumble akin to thunder, as if someone were striking a hefty bronze bell with a mallet.

Every heartbeat resonated with his internal organs.

The humming sound in his chest even made the edges of the barrel crack with fine, web-like patterns.

Jiang Wei’s pupils slightly contracted at the sight.

She saw Fang Qingyu’s spine undulating like a swimming dragon, and where his shoulder blades protruded, blue-purple electric arcs burst forth.

When the accumulated thunder sound reached a certain critical point.

Fang Qingyu’s eyes snapped open, and he exhaled.

“Boom!”

The shockwave exploded with fragments of the barrel, causing the soundproof foam of the chamber walls to cave in with rippling waves.

“Bone marrow produces thunder, muscles and tendons transform into chords…”

Jiang Wei waved away the steam, looking at the golden light emerging on Fang Qingyu’s skin.

“Using the Golden Body as a foundation and leveraging the sword intent of Thunder Strike Eight Slashes to enhance Hard Skills? It somewhat resembles the Ancient Thunder Department Body Forging Technique, but unfortunately…”

She looked at the almost imperceptible blue glow beneath Fang Qingyu’s skin.

“Not a single Thunder Pattern was condensed. How can such an incomplete cultivation technique dare to be called Celestial Drum Thunder Sound…”

Fang Qingyu was unaware of Jiang Wei’s thoughts beside him.

At this moment, he only felt an unprecedented surge of power.

Apart from advancing in the Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body.

The golden pattern on the chart added another attribute.

[Golden Body: 11→12 (Breakthrough once)]

[Advanced Skill 4: Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body Lv.1 (0/200)]

This breakthrough was achieved without using attribute points.

Fang Qingyu hadn’t experienced this feeling in a long time.

And now on the panel.

There was still one attribute point left from reviewing and learning anew.

Fang Qingyu pondered for a moment.

And allocated it to Panan.

Although after breaking through as a martial artist, he still wasn’t clear about the function of this attribute.

But advancing on all fronts has always been his principle in martial arts.

If he’s going to do it, he wants to reach the strongest!!

And the strongest in every aspect!!

As Jiang Wei saw Fang Qingyu finish the breakthrough and was about to get up and leave, she found that Fang Qingyu still had his eyes closed, and curiously sat back down.

When an invisible wave spread from Fang Qingyu’s body…

Jiang Wei was completely stunned.

Practicing hard skills can also enhance mental focus!?

She hadn’t seen this connection with her father!?

Were the two related somehow!?

Heavy doubts rose in her mind, making her question life.

When Fang Qingyu woke up and saw her expression, he couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s wrong, did I practice incorrectly?”

“No… you’re practicing very well.”

Jiang Wei shook her head blankly, with a look of deep thought.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyu didn’t ask further questions.

Older people are like this, they like to overthink, and it’s normal to occasionally fall into memories after experiencing so much.

At this moment, Fang Qingyu felt an unprecedented clarity on his spirit platform.

Like being in a 100% learning state.

Whatever point he wanted to focus on.

He could easily get into the zone.

So he seized the time, changed his clothes, and went to the spacious training hall.

To start practicing the true Baji Fist!!

Baji combined with Pi Gua, even gods and ghosts fear it.

Pi Gua combined with Baji, not even immortals can resist.

This phrase.

Was once said by Ji Yang.

Fang Qingyu always kept it in his heart.

So he very much looked forward to the power of Baji Fist during the martial artist stage.

When it comes to the feeling of intense violence, it’s all about pounding your opponent with punches, one after another!!

“Baji Fist experience, transform!!”

Standing in the open space, Fang Qingyu first adopted the starting stance of Pi Gua, then clicked on transform on the chart.

The ink-like writing of Baji Fist began to dissolve.

At this moment.

Fang Qingyu’s temples started to pulse intensely.

“Ka-cha—”

He seemed to hear the sound of some shackles breaking.

In an instant, memories of Baji Fist practice flooded back like a torrent.

And the Baji Fist records seen on other charts poured in like a breaking dam.

The old boxing master with bandaged legs shaking his spear under the locust tree, the bare-chested strong man using his back to break waist-thick wooden stakes, the top-knotted martial artist stepping in Eight Diagrams steps throwing people three zhang away…

All the secret techniques of Baji Fist condensed in the sea of consciousness.

As if passed down through generations.

Fang Qingyu instinctively began to practice the fist technique.

“Bang!”

Every move and style blasted into the air with visible golden light.

The spine burst with a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s thunder-like cracking sound; before the starting stance of Pi Gua palm was stable, the right arm’s muscles spontaneously twined with golden patterns.

Baji and Pi Gua interwove through the fist technique!

Completely changing the original path of the fist technique.

“Boom—”

When the practice of the fist technique was completed, Fang Qingyu delivered the final punch.

Before the fist edge reached, the air was already shattered by the fist force.

Without the empowerment of Qi Blood, or Qi Force.

The pure combination of the physical body and fist technique’s explosion…

Separated from Jiang Wei by more than ten meters.

Yet the swift wind still lifted Jiang Wei’s hair.

Revealing Jiang Wei’s slightly dazed small face.

Not bad…

Baji combined with Pi Gua certainly did not disappoint him.

Fang Qingyu wiped off his sweat.

Looking at the chart.

In the martial artist stage, the red-named Baji Fist had been activated.

But it wasn’t at the beginner level.

Rather, it directly advanced from activation to minor achievement, skipping the beginner stage.

[Advanced Skill 5: Baji Fist Lv.2 (112/400)]

Up to now.

Fang Qingyu entered the complete form of his martial artist self!
