Chapter 65: Unrest
At the moment of contact, Cao Jingde’s defense had already collapsed, his arms like gates battered open, countless fist shadows intimately connecting with his body.
He was like a ragdoll, viciously thrown out, heavily crashing onto the ground.
Cao Jingde’s body was even marked with numerous visible indentations of fist seals, taking a long while to gradually fade and smooth out, as he lay on the ground grimacing in pain, his face twisted, groaning continuously.
"Huff..."
Lu Ren exhaled deeply, as his body functions underwent intense motion in an instant, his blood surging, and his internal hormones rising rapidly in a stress response. Moisture appeared on his body, transforming into mist that swirled around him, forming vaguely as a divine bird with wings spread, following the technique of the Phoenix Falcon Fist.
"Ding, you used the Phoenix Falcon Fist, using Phoenix Beak to defeat the enemy, gaining some insight. Your proficiency in Phoenix Falcon Fist +30"
He slowly lowered his slender arms, the muscles on the back of his hand appearing streamlined, but the muscle lines were distinct, flexing with discernible explosive power.
Especially the remarkably thick bat muscles on his back, which displayed immense strength with every move.
After arriving in this Underworld, Lu Ren entered the Realm of the Living without a single moment of slack, continuing diligent practice every day.
Lu Ren vowed, he never imagined he could endure such hardship, primarily because of the Skill Proficiency System that appeared in his mind. Watching the proficiency bar increase bit by bit gave him a considerable sense of satisfaction.
This quantified presentation allowed Lu Ren to clearly perceive his various Skills and the immediate growth brought by continuous improvement in his physical capabilities.
It could be said he grew stronger with each battle!
