Chapter 136

After these several battles, his confidence had long been utterly eroded.

In his view,

at least equal strength was required to become friends.

"I don't judge friends by strength, but by affinity... uh, by first impression,"

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly, "Now you should fulfill your promise."

"Since you don't mind, I am willing to become your friend."

Duan Hun didn't think much of it.

One must accept the consequences of a bet; he had to admit it.

Besides, this person was even stronger than himself.

"Ding!"

"Friend added successfully!"

"Current favorability: one star"

"Attribute obtained: Talent 【Iron Hands】"

The system's voice rang in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Not bad.

It actually turned out to be a useful attribute.

He had thought he would receive something like comprehension or bone structure, in which case he would have prepared to dismantle it.

As for talents, they could still be fused together.

"Can you still walk?"

Meng Zhangqing stood up.

Since the addition was successful, he had to continue seeking opportunities to earn points.

"Yes."

Duan Hun nodded.

"Then I'll go first. Goodbye, friend."

Meng Zhangqing turned and left.

He disappeared from Duan Hun's sight.

"What a strange fellow."

Duan Hun withdrew his gaze.

Making friends, yet neither asking his name nor introducing himself.

It was completely as if he were just going through the motions.

Never mind; some geniuses just have strange minds.

Perhaps he was abnormal.

However, when did such a monstrous fellow appear in the inner sect?

Judging by his appearance, he must have comprehended sword momentum while still in the Aperture Opening Realm.

"The momentum of the martial way."

Duan Hun murmured softly.

Even among the true disciples, only those ranked at the very top could possess it.

"Sigh."

Duan Hun sighed lightly.

Although his injuries had improved considerably, he no longer wished to leave this cliff face.

Just staying quietly inside like this.

It wasn't bad.

Outside was truly too dangerous; if he went out and encountered another pervert again, getting beaten back into the cliff face, how unbearable that would be.

"System, fuse attributes."

Walking into the waterfall, Meng Zhangqing directly opened the panel.

"Ding!"

"Fusion started."

The familiar sensation appeared, just like when he fused 【Dexterous Hands】 back then.

Cold as water, it sprouted beneath the skin of his hands.

It took a full incense stick's time before it gradually vanished.

【Iron Hands】: Hands naturally extremely hard; when cultivating palm techniques, fist techniques, and other martial arts, the effects will be even more pronounced.

Meng Zhangqing looked at his own hands, clenching and unclenching his ten fingers.

Compared to before, they were indeed much harder.

Moreover, some structures had even changed.

Once he practiced palm techniques or fist techniques, it would be twice the result with half the effort, like a fish in water.

"Bai Suxi's 【Dexterous Hands】, while suitable for sword practice, is also applicable within palm techniques, fist techniques, and other martial arts."

"【Dexterous Hands】 plus 【Iron Hands】 will not be as simple as one plus one."

"It can greatly enhance the power of palm techniques and other martial arts."

"Although it certainly doesn't match the momentum, it still counts as a certain amplification."

"If there's a chance, I can increase Duan Hun's favorability."

The High-grade Mystic Rank palm technique Duan Hun employed was by no means weak; it was just that he was too strong, possessing a completely overwhelming momentum.

This caused Duan Hun to have no time to bring out the many exquisite aspects of this palm technique.

Or I could go learn at the Martial Arts Pavilion myself; after all, I have plenty of High-grade Mystic Rank attainment cards left.

Currently, I focus on the Sword Dao mainly because of the existence of Sword Momentum, not because Meng Zhangqing is uninterested in other Qitaliu Sect schools.

He shook his head slightly.

Meng Zhangqing withdrew his attention.

Duan Hun was merely a sudden little interlude.

What truly interests him, in fact, are the Shi brothers.

After all, that is a top-tier body-refining bloodline, one in ten thousand.

With the increase in his cultivation base, his defense has now fallen behind.

The 'Bronze Armor Art' is, after all, only a High-grade Human Rank technique.

Even with the talent 【Thick Skin and Flesh】, it can only compare to the Initial-stage Mystic Rank.

It can still be used in the Apoerture Opening Realm.

Once reaching the Sea-Bypassing stage, it will definitely not work.

So Meng Zhangqing now avoids clashing head-on with those Level Three demonic beasts.

Every time, he directly kills them from a long distance!

If one encounters a beast that is extremely fast, arriving before one's eyes in a blink, it is truly very dangerous.

"I wonder where the Shi brothers are."

Meng Zhangqing walked inward while thinking.

The fourth deep-red opportunity lies just behind this huge waterfall.

Behind the waterfall is a very spacious mountain cavity.

It is several hundred meters high.

Various strange massive rocks stand like a forest.

And in the center, a slender-bodied demonic beast crouches, with a pair of wings actually growing on its back.

The instant Meng Zhangqing appeared.

The demonic beast suddenly opened its blood-red eyes.
