Chapter 289

【After a 100-fold enhancement of cultivation effect…】

【Host gains: Strength +0.2, Speed +0.1, Stamina +0.2!】

In an instant,

as the system's voice just ended.

Boom—

A roar echoed within his body.

Instantly,

A warm current, suddenly appearing, surged like a tide wildly through Lu En's body, transforming every part of him.

Lu En was already far too familiar with this.

He had experienced this similar process too many times.

Soon,

the system completed its transformation.

And Lu En's strength once again received a slight boost!

This increase in strength was not substantial,

yet he was thoroughly satisfied.

As long as he continued accumulating like this, his strength could rise infinitely!

"System, bring up the status panel."

Amidst the system's transformation, the aching in Lu En's limbs slowly faded back to normal. He immediately checked his current status panel.

【Host: Lu En】

【Strength: 34.9 (+1.1)】

【Speed: 28.1 (+0.9)】

【Stamina: 36.1 (+1.1)】

【Spiritual Power: 17.4 (+0.4)】

【Ghost Back Completion: 10.99%】

【Current Cultivation Effect Enhancement: 100-fold!】

This was the change in Lu En's strength over the past few days.

Strength and stamina showed the most obvious gains.

But speed…

This physical attribute had always been Lu En's weakest point.

Of course.

Now that he had mastered the Six Powers: Shave, though his physical speed remained slightly lacking, the instantaneous burst speed of Six Powers: Shave effectively compensated for his current speed deficit.

Unless facing a top-tier expert, Lu En had virtually no weaknesses in actual combat.

Perhaps the only significant gap left was…

He lacked a decisive offensive technique.

In short,

it was…

A finishing move!

Lu En lacked a finishing move capable of turning the tide!

This was his greatest current deficiency.

The Navy's Six Powers and the Six Powers Secret Art: Life Return could not serve as Lu En's ultimate turning-point technique—he needed a far more powerful offensive move.

But mastering a personal finishing move was clearly not something achievable overnight.

Therefore,

Lu En still had a long road ahead.

"The progress of Ghost Back remains as slow as a snail."

Lu En shook his head.

Then,

he withdrew his gaze from his status panel.

"If I could master Two-Color Haki, I wouldn't need this so-called finishing move."

"I just need to relentlessly enhance Armament Haki."

"Armament Haki is the strongest offensive method!"

Lu En thought.

As he pondered,

without warning…

Suddenly!

Dong dong dong—

A crisp, pleasant knocking at the door sounded.

Lu En's thoughts were interrupted.

He raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled, glancing toward the door.

Early in the morning…

Who could be visiting him?

Old man Captain Kapu?

Or Lieutenant Bokato?

Or even Bluefire?

Moments later,

Lu En wiped the sweat from his body, put on his shirt again, and walked to the door, casually opening it.

Creak!

Accompanied by a soft sound.

The door opened.

Then,

Lu En saw a burly man.

The man stood at the door, with short purple hair, clearly defined muscles, broad back and thick waist, appearing powerfully built.

He appeared to be around fifty years old.

He wore the Navy's Justice coat, clearly a high-ranking Navy officer!

A powerful aura of pressure slowly emanated from him.

Strong!

This was a powerhouse!

"Who are you?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed, his expression slightly strange.

He had assumed.

That the one knocking would be Captain Kapu or Bokato.

Or even…

Bluefire,

He had considered that possibility.

But he never imagined…

That the one knocking on his door would be a Navy officer with a completely unfamiliar face.

Lu En was certain.

He did not know the Navy officer before him.

"I am Master Zefa!"

At this moment, Zefa stood at the door, gazed deeply at Lu En, and voluntarily revealed his identity.
