Bab 23: Broken Tail (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
…
At night, Xu Zhong purchased some loquat paste at his favorite convenience store. The candy was firm and came in small square pieces, somewhat resembling the lozenges he used to enjoy in his previous life.
However, this loquat paste proved to be incredibly hard.
"D*mn, this candy is harder than I expected…"
Xu Zhong grumbled to himself as he headed home.
…
Upon arriving home, Xu Zhong closed the door, plunging the house into complete darkness.
The air was thick with the scent of Xu Zhong's efforts.
He needed better ventilation in the future.
Typically, he closed the curtains before leaving for school to thwart potential thieves.
In the dim setting, Xu Zhong could clearly see the room's furnishings. The television, coffee table, and stool were all outlined in his vision.
Although his sight remained feeble, he was already experiencing a preliminary improvement in his eyesight as an F-rank martial artist.
He wondered what it would be like when he reached E-rank and D-rank.
Xu Zhong switched on the lights and proceeded to his room.
With his sister away for the day, he could cultivate the Primal Chaos Body Formula without concern.
He undressed and skillfully retrieved a paper roll.
He then opened a particular website.
However, he quickly realized that a small website wouldn't suffice.
Hiss…
Repeatedly?
It didn't feel good.
So, he decided to enter a specific group chat.
This group chat was filled with enthusiasts who shared his penchant for girls.
As soon as he entered, his screen was flooded with messages, many of which were explicit.
"Hey, fellas, I need some pictures. You know the deal."
"Pass me some black silk shots, quick!"
"Everyone, comment on this photo!!"
"To the previous poster: If our group gets banned, I'm coming for you."
"All the officers trembled, but no one dared to utter a word!"
After a moment's thought, Xu Zhong typed a message, "I have a friend who's been feeling a bit thirsty lately and wants access to a website."
…
Before long, he had set up a new website. It was a satisfactory outcome.
Yes, Xu Zhong was undoubtedly a dedicated individual. He watched movies solely to accelerate his cultivation. There were no ulterior motives involved here.
"I'm genuinely focused on cultivation!"
"I'm genuinely focused on cultivation!"
"I'm genuinely focused on cultivation!"
When it came to significant matters, repeating them three times was customary.
[Vitality+2]
Xu Zhong certainly felt the improvement.
…
Ten minutes later.
[Vitality+2]
…
[Vitality+2]
Xu Zhong initiated a continuous cycle.
Thankfully, the website provided an abundance of movies and ample resources.
However, Xu Zhong discovered that the Primal Chaos Body Formula had limitations.
After reaching the F-rank, the rate of vitality growth began to decelerate. Nonetheless, Xu Zhong's current cultivation speed was astounding compared to other martial artists.
As his vitality increased, Xu Zhong's physique underwent discernible changes.
His body was visibly growing more robust, teeming with explosive strength.
Two hours later, Xu Zhong gently reclined on his bed and checked his interface.
[Invincible Simplification System]
[Host: Xu Zhong]
[Age: 18]
[Realm]: F-rank martial artist
Vitality: 127 points
Cultivation Technique: Primal Chaos Body Formula (Minor Accomplishment) Pure Divine Art (elementary level)
[Martial Arts Skill]: Thunder Fist (elementary level)
He could unmistakably sense the significant improvement in his physical condition.
Particularly, the encounter with Seductive Fox considerably bolstered Xu Zhong's vitality.
"God didn't give birth to me,"
"Hanging the martial arts is like a long night."
Xu Zhong seemed to have figured out how to utilize this unique system enhancement effectively. Sadly, Seductive Fox was no longer available to absorb.
Nonetheless, when he reflected on it, he realized he merely had to watch a few films and jerk off himself, and it was equivalent to several days of intensive training for others. This cheat was proving incredibly satisfying.
…
The following morning, Xu Zhong awoke on the ground full of tissue paper.
Another day was beginning.
Upon waking, he felt dizzy…
That's when he realized his hearing seemed to have improved again, bombarding him with a cacophony of sounds.
"D*mn, is the upstairs neighbor already having sex this early morning?"
Seriously…
The noise was rather unsettling, wasn't it?
But soon, he recognized that the disturbance wasn't coming from upstairs but from his heightened hearing ability.
After two to three minutes, Xu Zhong finally gained control and filtered out the annoying noises from upstairs. He couldn't bear the racket any longer.
The noise might drive Xu Zhong insane if he couldn't control this power.
He focused his attention and listened carefully to the commotion upstairs.
There was almost no privacy upstairs or downstairs.
Forget it. He already had a headache. After hearing this, he couldn't take it anymore.
Xu Zhong sighed. "Phew, I'm hungry!"
Xu Zhong's daily appetite was comparable to what he would eat over an entire week.
…
First, Xu Zhong rinsed the beef jerky in the refrigerator with some blood. Then, he opened the window and began punching while basking in the sun.
After acquiring the fundamentals of Thunder Fist, Xu Zhong's simple swings felt different this time.
He noticed that his punches were notably faster, and he could faintly hear the distant rumbling of thunder.
This sensation didn't resemble the classic martial arts novel Enlightenment, where the knowledge of the technique was directly transferred into Chen Jue's mind. Instead, Xu Zhong was left to practice independently, allowing his body to develop a closed-loop muscle memory system.
This, presumably, was the benefit of increasing proficiency.
He had previously researched online and found that most cultivation and martial technique categories included elementary level, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, perfection, and peak. Achieving a peak typically marked the zenith of mastery.
