Flower Tree City's Misty District. In front of a mobile sesame seed cake cart.
"Two bucks' worth. I want two bucks' worth!" Bai Chaoan rubbed his hands together and huffed. The weather was too cold.
"Here, your fresh meat sesame seed cake!"
"Here, you can have the money."
Bai Chaoan handed over the money and took a huge bite of the paper-wrapped sesame seed cake. The crispy and delicious shell of the sesame seed cake was filled with fragrant and tender meat filling. He took a huge bite and chewed for a while. Bai Chaoan was instantly satisfied.
He loved sesame seed cakes, just like how he loved killing people.
He would eat a sesame seed cake after killing someone. This was a habit he had developed over the years.
For this reason, he even set a rule for himself. If he killed a man, he would eat fresh meat sesame seed cake. If he killed a woman, he would eat cabbage sesame seed cake.
The morning air was cold. Bai Chaoan stuffed the sesame seed cake into his mouth. He put his hands in his pockets and walked to a 13-story building with few people entering and exiting.
'So this is it? It's next to the government department? That's troublesome. Let's deal with that one first. '
Although he only had to kill three mortals in this mission he accepted from the higher-ups, Bai Chaoan still upheld his professional ethics. He tried his best to kill them in the most covert way possible.
Since two of the targets were not easy to deal with, he would go for the easiest one.
He pursed his lips and swallowed the sesame seed cake in his mouth. He turned around and looked for a subway entrance. As he squeezed his way through the crowd, he took out his phone and looked at the target's photo.
A young high school student with delicate features and a stern expression appeared on the phone's screen. A few lines of words appeared below. "Du Xiong, 18 years old. Frequents: Light Harmony Boxing Dojo, Zodiac Boxing Dojo, Flower Tree Martial Arts Center."
He pressed a small button on the side of the screen. Rows of more detailed information and information immediately popped up.
It was filled with other information about Du Xiong's expertise.
'He's just a mortal, and yet I have to kill him personally … Looks like some important figure is involved?' Bai Chaoan guessed.
The more he faced a target like this, the more careful he had to be. For Geshas, vassal Star Chasers like him were naturally insignificant. They could be easily crushed to death.
However, for mortals, Star Chasers were also unimaginably powerful beings. To him, killing someone was no more difficult than killing a chicken.
'I'll have to end this quickly. Let's find a suitable location …' Bai Chaoan opened his calendar and looked at the time. 'Let's do it tomorrow. I can go back to my hometown to celebrate my mother's birthday after I'm done.' Bai Chaoan closed his phone and yawned.
…
"Anyone who obstructs me must die!"
Lu Sheng stood in front of the mirror. He raised his head and wiped the water off his drenched hair.
The feeling of losing a quarter of his karma made him very unhappy.
The death of his younger brother, who was a Gesha, also made him understand that there was an extremely terrifying threat hidden in this world.
Today, Du Qiu had died, and the next one might be the father of this body, Du Xuning, or the mother, Li Can. It was more likely to be Du Xia.
"Originally, I planned to take things one step at a time. Why is it that every time in the end, I have no choice but to … "
He silently took off the towel and wiped the chicken pox on his face and head.
"I didn't want to …"
When he walked out of the bathroom, his mother, Li Can, was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the living room.
Du Xuning was still dealing with Du Qiu's aftermath. Du Xia was having a gathering with her friends outside, and had yet to return.
On the surface, it was a gathering, but Lu Sheng knew that Du Xia must have gone to investigate Little Qiu's death on her own.
Du Xia was very, very powerful. Lu Sheng had never fought a Gesha before, so he could not determine the limits of this god's power. However, this did not stop him from probing with his spirit.
After a few careful probings, he managed to ascertain the level of Du Xia's power step by step. He was filled with admiration.
She had extremely sharp senses. Her range could reach up to 100 meters. She also had the basic ability to evade threats that were 100 meters away.
She had simple bursts of psychokinesis. She seemed to have mastered some kind of powerful flame that could melt almost everything.
However, these seemed to be just ordinary abilities for Du Xia to deal with at any time.
Even Lu Sheng could not find out more about her power.
After covering Li Can with a blanket, Lu Sheng returned to his room and turned on the computer.
'I can't wait any longer. I must start making arrangements as soon as possible.
'Deep Blue.'
He sat in front of the computer and called out in his heart.
"Swoosh."
The modifier instantly popped up before his eyes. Lu Sheng's gaze fell on a new frame that appeared at the bottom.
"Mixed Martial Arts of Multiple Sects: High Level. (Fused Sects: Ecliptic Fist, Setsudo, Sweeping Hand, Slashing Hand, Isley's Kickboxing Art …) "What followed was a list of more than a dozen martial arts that were popular in the world.
These were all the martial arts of different sects that Lu Sheng had dabbled in during this period of time.
To him, most of these were easy to learn. Hence, he simply fused the essence of various martial arts into one, forming the so-called Mixed Martial Arts of Multiple Sects.
This set of martial arts extracted the essence and killing moves of various sects and pieced them together at will to maximize its power.
However, this was also the limit of what Lu Sheng could do.
He swept his gaze across the frame for a while. After this period of contact, he had a rough idea of the martial arts of this world.
Apart from external skills, the martial arts of this world were the cultivation of Inner Chain Qi, which was similar to the Body Hardening Technique.
This Inner Chain Qi was invisible and formless. It was not the so-called Qi and Blood in Traditional Chinese Medicine, nor was it some magnetic life field. Instead, it was more like a potential development method. It was a training method that purely stimulated the body.
Inner Chain Qi could strengthen the body and increase immunity. However, no martial artist could say for sure whether this thing existed or not.
'I was planning to explore it slowly and use my Mental Energy when I've reached the peak. But now …' Lu Sheng felt as if a dark hand was slowly moving past Du Xia and reaching toward him and his parents.
'Let's begin.' He pressed the modify button with practiced movements. The entire frame flashed, blurred for a moment, and then became clear again.
'Upgrade Mixed Martial Arts of Multiple Sects to the limit,' Lu Sheng said in his heart. His attention and gaze were focused on the frame.
"Hiss …"
His Mental Energy slowly decreased by one unit. It turned into countless warm currents that slowly seeped into Lu Sheng's body.
He stood in front of the dressing mirror in his wardrobe. His muscles and skin were trembling slowly. His body had already reached its limit. Under the stimulation of the Mental Energy, it suddenly burst into flames like dry wood that had been ignited.
A strange sound of flesh rubbing against each other and growing spread from Lu Sheng's body.
His body … was breaking through its limit. His strength, which was originally close to 300 kilograms, was rapidly increasing.
As the Mental Energy continued to seep into his body, Lu Sheng looked at his reflection in the mirror. His body had grown slightly taller. His muscles could no longer be concealed, and his facial features were clearly defined.
His skin was also slowly turning a faint bronze color.
This was a comprehensive combat technique that he had fused with almost all schools of thought. There were no obvious advantages or disadvantages.
Its greatest characteristic was that it was balanced and balanced.
Strength, speed, defense, endurance, and the hardness of the body like hard body skills, as well as the resistance of the internal organs.
This entire set of Mixed Martial Arts was similar to outer force skills. It was also similar to hard body skills like Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt.
Originally, this Mixed Martial Arts did not have any outstanding characteristics due to its mediocrity. However, with the boost from Lu Sheng's Mental Energy, the mediocrity became omnipotence.
The qualitative change was soon completed.
Lu Sheng's height had increased to 1.9 meters. His explosive and well-proportioned muscles were clearly visible.
His temperament was also vaguely tinged with an aggressive nature. This was the temperament that came naturally with this set of Mixed Martial Arts.
'I only used one unit of Mental Energy … Although it's a low-end combat art, it's mostly because I've cultivated it to the peak, and only used my Mental Energy to break through the bottleneck.' Lu Sheng understood.
He looked at the contents of the frame.
"Mixed Martial Arts of Multiple Sects, Limit. (Special traits. Silent Fist Technique, Limit Body.)"
'My strength has almost doubled in an instant …' As he sensed the changes in his body, Lu Sheng had a satisfied expression on his face.
This meant that his previous idea was correct. He cultivated step by step and only used his Mental Energy to break through the last crucial step. With this, he could save a lot of Mental Energy. At the same time, he did not have to worry about his foundation being weak.
'What a pity. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have enough time, I'd really like to climb to the peak step by step.' Lu Sheng shook his head slightly. 'The power system in this world is highly compatible. Even if I were in Great Yin or Libra City, I'd still be able to assimilate quickly.'
It was simple, violent, and not complicated.
The characteristics of the martial path here were clear as well.
'Let's continue. Let's see how high I can go. I'll reach the limit first, then test the strength of the Geshas. '
Lu Sheng walked to the window, drew the curtains, and locked the door.
He sat cross-legged on the floor of the room. He adjusted his breathing and slowly entered a meditative state.
He had already reached the limit of his combat art. He could only derive it now.
Lu Sheng tapped the derive button behind the frame with ease.
'Derive Multi-Sect Mixed Martial Arts, level one.'
There was no such thing as a single step. The power system of this powerful world was worth his time to slowly comprehend and experience the process of improvement.
After two breaths, the frame instantly regained its clarity. Another unit of Mental Energy was expended.
"Multi-Sect Mixed Martial Arts, limit, level one. (Special traits. Soundless Fist Technique. Limit-breaking body. Inner Chain Qi, level one.)"
'Inner Chain Qi?' Lu Sheng was stunned. He sensed it carefully. With his powerful spirit, he could barely sense an extremely hard and blurry mass of Qi in his body. It was beating slowly like the breathing of a heart. There was a fixed rhythm to it.
'So, the Inner Chain Qi isn't fabricated by this world … It's real …' Lu Sheng remembered the martial dao masters, Martial Saints, and Sword Saints recorded in the history of this world. The experiences of these peak experts among humans were like myths. They seemed miraculous now, but now that he looked at it, it might not be impossible.
'I'd like to see what level this Inner Chain Qi can reach.' Lu Sheng was not in a hurry. His body had been laying the foundation for a while now. He could definitely handle this little bit of improvement.
'Continue.'
