Chapter 212: Hard Qigong Golden Body

Lu Yu cast his gaze from the left side forward.

The first six traits were already as familiar to him as the lines on his palm; he knew their exact effects without needing to check the descriptions.

When his gaze fell upon the seventh trait, he couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.

"Flexible?" he murmured softly, his mind subconsciously recalling the introduction of the previous "Sensitive" trait.

【Sensitive: Each time the skill level increases, leg speed increases by 30%.】

Then, what did this "Flexible" mean? Carrying his doubt, he continued to look.

【Flexible: Each time the skill level increases, leg flexibility increases by 30%.】

"Increases flexibility?" Lu Yu couldn't help but show a look of slight surprise.

He understood in his heart that an increase in flexibility meant being able to execute more high-difficulty movements.

Just like the sit-and-reach test; some people have astonishing speed and quite powerful strength, but when attempting this movement, they might grimace in pain due to poor flexibility.

Viewed in this light, naming it "Flexible" was quite appropriate.

Lu Yu did not linger too long and continued to browse further.

【Stealthy: Each time the skill level increases, the concealment of leg strikes increases by 30%.】

"Concealment?" Lu Yu subconsciously rubbed his chin.

Relying on the extremely high level he had reached in his Basic Leg Technique, he knew the characteristics of leg techniques like the back of his hand.

Compared to Fist Technique and Palm Technique, the most well-known characteristic of leg techniques is, first and foremost, their long attack range, capable of threatening enemies from a distance.

Secondly, the offensive methods of leg techniques are rich and varied; one can launch attacks in all directions—front, back, left, and right—and even if one accidentally falls to the ground, one can take advantage of the situation to execute ground-based leg techniques, catching the enemy off guard.

Furthermore, leg attacks contain powerful strength; after all, the legs are the key pillars of the human body for walking, running, squatting, and jumping, as well as bearing heavy loads, playing a pivotal role in combat.

And the final point is the concealment of leg techniques.

The legs are located below the human body, maintaining a certain distance from the opponent, especially when clashing with an opponent's Fist Technique; suddenly striking with a leg can often catch them by surprise and defeat the enemy in one move.

Therefore, unlocking the "Stealthy" trait seemed to be within expectations.

Lu Yu cast his gaze toward other Basic Martial Arts again, and after a review, he found that apart from 【Basic Archery】, the level of 【Basic Leg Technique】 could be considered the highest among the many Basic Martial Arts.

"For the next two days, I must see if I can find others to spar with and find a way to increase the proficiency of my Basic Fist Technique and Basic Palm Technique as well," he pondered to himself, then his gaze fell upon the Basic Movement Technique.

"Hmm, the Gravity Room will finally come in handy. Although it's only double gravity, for now, it is enough.

If I were to double the current five-ton load directly, I reckon a person wouldn't be able to withstand it on the spot," Lu Yu calculated silently in his heart.

He glanced around the empty room, then slowly walked to the door, gently turned off the lights, and turned to walk toward the lounge.

After returning to the lounge, he devoted himself entirely to raising those eight or nine leg techniques, one after another, to the Consummation realm, and half of those leg techniques had even reached the supreme realm of Chushen Ruohua.

During this process, he also successfully integrated three explosive traits into his Martial Skill.

【Tyrant: Active skill, consumes a massive amount of power, activated by Spirit; for a short time, increases strength value by up to 6.5 times and Agility value by 5 times. If power and Spirit do not meet the requirements, only partial effects will be obtained after activation.】

Compared to before, the strength burst increased by an additional 1.5 times, and the Agility burst increased by an additional 1 time. Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, his heart filled with gratification.

By this point, the martial arts practiced during the In-Jin Martial Artist stage had basically all been acquired and mastered by him.

Even if there were minor omissions, it no longer had much impact on him.

If he wanted to further increase the explosive power of his Martial Skill, he would have to start with Vein Refining Martial Artist.

"I wonder what kind of wonders those Cultivation Methods that require True Qi to learn actually possess."

A surge of irrepressible anticipation welled up in Lu Yu's heart, and his thoughts drifted back to a few hours ago, to that disgusting face of Qin Ye.

Since the necessary preparations were basically complete, it was time to break through to the Vein Refining Realm.

Of course, before that, there were two more martial arts that needed to be strengthened.

【Thirteen Taibao Hard Qigong: Great Success, traits: Tiger Back Bear Waist level 4, Invulnerable to Blades and Spears level 4, Brick-Breaking Stone-Crushing level 2】

【Soul Extinguishing Finger: Great Success, traits: Gather Spirit level 4, Soul Extinguishing Finger level 3】

Lu Yu glanced at the remaining Experience Value and found that there were still over 4500 points left, which was clearly more than enough to strengthen these two martial arts.

He first added 256 points of Experience Value to the Thirteen Taibao Hard Qigong.

Almost the moment the Experience Value was added, a strange and mysterious feeling surged into his heart like a tide. Lu Yu hurriedly fixed his eyes on it.

【Thirteen Taibao Hard Qigong: Consummation, traits: Tiger Back Bear Waist level 5, Invulnerable to Blades and Spears level 5, Brick-Breaking Stone-Crushing level 3, Hard Qigong Golden Body level 1】

【Hard Qigong Golden Body: Active skill, consumes a large amount of Mental Power upon activation; for the duration, physical defense increases by an additional three times. Each level increased, Constitution attribute increases by an additional one time.】

"Three times!" Lu Yu's eyes widened instantly, filled with shock and joy.

His current Constitution attribute was over 3000 points, which meant that once he activated "Hard Qigong Golden Body," his physical defense would be comparable to a Martial Artist with that much defense!

Moreover, the passive effect of "Invulnerable to Blades and Spears" was also continuously taking effect; calculated this way, it was actually equivalent to that much defense!

Lu Yu's gaze was locked tightly on the Martial Skill, and a bold and crazy idea flashed through his mind.

That's right, it was to integrate the "Hard Qigong Golden Body" trait into the Martial Skill as well.

It was conceivable that once successful, the conditions required to fully trigger the effects of the Martial Skill would undoubtedly become even more demanding.

Fortunately, he possessed a powerful Mental Power that surpassed ordinary people, enough to support him in attempting this bold move.

With a thought, the description of the Martial Skill changed accordingly.

【Tyrant: Active skill, consumes a massive amount of power and a vast amount of Mental Power to activate; for a short time, increases strength value by up to 6.5 times, Agility value by 5 times, and physical defense by 3 times. If power and Spirit do not meet the requirements, only partial effects will be obtained after activation.】

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction; perhaps as he continued to grow, other even more astonishing effects would be unlocked in the future.

In any case, he would just integrate them all into the Martial Skill when the time came.

Perhaps this Martial Skill might truly become a unique technique in the world that only he could fully unleash the terrifying power of.

Afterward, his gaze fell upon the Soul Extinguishing Finger, and he added 384 points of Experience Value to it without hesitation.
