Chapter 68 has been exposed!
It was in a quiet side room behind Wang Po's teahouse.
Zheng Tu sat alone at the wooden table, his eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting, but in reality, his mind had sunk into a mysterious place.
It was that panel that no one else could see.
The points he gained from his last rebirth have not yet been allocated.
He still doesn't know the reason why he died suddenly after getting drunk at Wu Dajia.
Therefore, although I am currently living peacefully and smoothly in Qinghe County, I am still not very at ease, and a sense of crisis is lingering in my mind.
I finally have some free time today, so it's the perfect opportunity to hone my martial arts skills.
He took out the gourd containing the bright red pill, uncorked it, and poured one out onto the table.
Just to be on the safe side, he had tested the medicine several times.
First, she chopped off a small amount of powder and fed it to the old rooster that Granny Wang kept in her yard. The rooster was already very old and listless all day long.
After taking that little bit of medicine, it seemed to have a second spring. Its comb turned bright red, and it went to bed with four or five hens in a row without stopping. It flapped its wings and even wanted to ride the geese.
Later, Zheng Tu found some stray cats and dogs by the roadside and secretly fed them a little. Seeing that they were fine except for being a little excited, he was finally relieved.
Knowing that the medicine was harmless, Zheng Tu felt much more at ease.
A true man living between heaven and earth, how can he not have good martial arts skills to rely on?
Today, I will take this skill to the next level!
"Panel," Zheng Tu murmured to himself.
Several lines of text suddenly appeared before my eyes:
Available points: 6.
【Zheng Tu——】
Martial Arts: Proficient in hand-to-hand combat (35/36)
Zheng Tu took a deep breath, no longer hesitating, and urged himself on.
Allocate all six available points to the "Mastery of Hands-on Skills" skill!
In an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in my mind, and a vast sea of martial arts techniques surged in like a river overflowing its banks.
Techniques, routines, power generation techniques, footwork, body movements, offensive and defensive transitions... all sorts of essential knowledge came rushing in, and he mastered them all. The key points that others struggled to grasp but couldn't understand were now crystal clear in Zheng Tu's eyes.
What's even more amazing is that the opponent's openings, the direction of their force, and the subsequent changes can all be clearly discerned, just like reading the lines on the palm of your hand.
His own brute strength was now as easy to control as an extension of his own arm, precisely down to the millimeter.
Zheng Tu had a vague feeling: if he focused his strength on one point, he could concentrate all his power in one place, break through the surface with that point, and be invincible!
His muscles twitched and bulged visibly, growing three-tenths larger than before.
His already imposing physique appeared even taller at this moment.
"Buzz—"
A muffled sound rang in my head, and a wave of intense dizziness washed over me.
Zheng Tu's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes sank deep, and two streams of warm blood flowed from his nose.
Suddenly, I felt a chill all over my body, and my limbs and bones felt empty, as if my marrow and blood had been drained.
He knew that this was because the leap in cultivation level was too rapid, and his body couldn't withstand it for a while.
Fortunately, we were prepared!
Zheng Tu barely managed to grab the edge of the table to keep himself from collapsing. With trembling hands, he grabbed the crimson pill and swallowed it.
When the red pill entered the abdomen, there was no feeling at first, but then it burst open from the lower abdomen, and a surge of heat flowed out, instantly spreading throughout the limbs and bones.
My body, which was originally cold, suddenly felt warm and cozy, as if I were soaking in a hot spring.
He grabbed the teapot on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls of warm water. His complexion visibly improved, and the nosebleed stopped immediately.
"It's definitely good stuff!"
Zheng Tu perked up and breathed a sigh of relief.
only……
He looked down and saw a colossal figure reaching for the sky.
"It's a pity there are some side effects." Zheng Tu shook his head and had no choice but to ignore it for the time being.
Zheng Tu closed his eyes and concentrated, carefully comprehending the changes brought about by this breakthrough.
With his current skills, dealing with that tiger-slaying general Li Zhong should be no problem.
It was that lightning-fast blade strike by Wu Song at the Lion Tower...
At the time, I only felt a blur before my eyes, and then my head was separated from my body. Recalling that slash now, although it still feels sharp, I can now make out some of its trajectory. If I were to face it again, I might not be able to win, but at least I would have room to maneuver.
Just as I was savoring the moment, I suddenly heard a very faint sound coming from outside the window!
The sound was as light as a falling leaf touching the ground; if Zheng Tu hadn't had greatly enhanced hearing and eyesight at that moment, he would never have noticed it.
"Who?!"
Zheng Tu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharpening, and shouted sternly.
A dark shadow flashed past the window and disappeared in an instant!
Zheng Tu suddenly stood up, his burly body now surprisingly agile. Instead of going through the door, he darted to the window in one stride. Without even pushing it open, he simply slammed the window open with a slight thud on his shoulder and slid out of the narrow window frame like a fish.
It landed silently, truly demonstrating effortless mastery.
The night was deep, and anything in the distance was blurry and indistinct.
A dark figure was speeding away in the alley ahead!
This person was thin and extremely fast; in just a few leaps, he had already darted more than ten zhang away.
Zheng Tu was not about to let him go, so he mustered his strength and leaped after him.
He unleashed his newly acquired movement technique, leaping and turning between the rooftops as if walking on flat ground, his speed even three points faster than that dark figure.
The man in front initially didn't take it seriously, but seeing Zheng Tu chasing so diligently, a smirk crept onto his face: "What a stupid blockhead! Chasing at such a breakneck pace, with your burly build, how long can you maintain this speed?"
So he took his time, leading Zheng Tu around the streets and alleys as if he were walking a dog.
They thought that after a short while, once the man had exhausted his last bit of energy, they could easily shake off the person behind them.
To everyone's surprise, after running for a while, the distance between the two not only did not increase, but gradually shortened and became closer and closer.
The man in front clearly hadn't expected this situation, and he could already hear Zheng Tu's breathing behind him.
Only then did they start to panic. They quickly exerted all their strength, turning and twisting, choosing narrow alleys and low walls to squeeze through. After turning six or seven streets in a row, they finally managed to shake off Zheng Tu.
He slipped into a dark alley corner, forcibly suppressing his rapid breathing, holding his breath and daring not to make a sound.
"How strange! When did this fellow become so alert? How did he notice me?!"
In the dark alley, the man's eyes shone brightly, yet they were filled with terror.
Huang Silang crouched in the shadows of the corner, barely daring to breathe, his brow furrowed, utterly perplexed:
"Based on my observations over the past few days, this fellow's hearing and eyesight are quite ordinary; they shouldn't be this sharp! And that movement just now... how did it suddenly become so much faster! Could it be that his timidity and clumsiness the other day were all an act?"
Just as they were filled with doubt and uncertainty, a deep, stern voice suddenly came from the top of the wall above them:
"You... seem quite confused?"
Huang Silang felt his hair stand on end and suddenly looked up!
But on the top of the wall, Zheng Tu stood with his hands behind his back.
The moonlight shone on his burly body, casting a mountain-like shadow that completely enveloped Huang Silang.
Eyes facing each other.
