Chapter 164 - 164: 149: Changes and New Skills
The originally calm surface of the Quanjiang River stirred up waves.
The river water surged toward the shore, trying to get closer to something time and again.
Chen Sheng laid on the ground in a spread-eagle position, constantly breathing in the air with his mouth wide open.
His appearance had now undergone a tremendous change.
The block-like muscles that had piled up like granite all over his body had shrunk by more than half.
Even his original height of one point nine meters had been reduced to just over one point eight meters.
If Chen Sheng’s previous stature could be called tall and burly, then his current one could barely be described as lean.
However, even so,
Chen Sheng’s eyes were brighter than they had ever been before.
The deep blue glow inside them was filled with a mysterious aura that made people want to explore.
After resting for a few minutes and allowing his tormented nerves to recover
gradually, Chen slowly got up from the ground.
Accompanying his movements,
The crisp sounds of bones colliding inside his body exploded one after another.
Chen Sheng stood still with his eyes closed,
Feeling the seemingly endless power that filled his body.
His condition was better than ever.
However….
Chen Sheng looked down.
His body seemed to have shrunk quite a bit, hadn’t it?
And it was so pale!
Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his forearm.
The falling flakes of skin were blown away like snowflakes by the wind, drifting away into the distance.
As the flakes fell, Chen Sheng discovered that his arm was now incredibly smooth and white, comparable to that of a newborn baby.
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng took a step and prepared to head to the riverside to see his current appearance. As soon as he took a step,
With a loud boom,
The already devastated ground collapsed once more.
Chen Sheng’s face was filled with astonishment at first.
Then,
He seemed to understand something,
And directly called up his attribute panel.
[Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 188 (38)]
[Agility: 187 (40)]
[Constitution: 208 (35)]
[Skill Column: Profound and True Martial Arts v3: 0/500000, Xuanwu
Transformation (Non-upgradable)]
[Skill Points: 153]
Seeing the panel, Chen Sheng immediately understood what was going on.
Breaking through to the third layer of Profound and True Martial Arts,
Raised his strength and agility by 30 points each.
His constitution jumped directly by 35 points, breaking through the 200-point barrier.
With such a massive increase in attributes, it was no wonder that he would cause the ground to collapse just by simply walking.
Chen Sheng had a similar experience during his upgrade two days ago,
But the impact on his surroundings was not as great as it was now.
At this moment,
Chen Sheng was immensely grateful he had not broken through inside the grocery store.
Otherwise,
Yinghui Grocery Store might have become history starting from today.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng did not move forward immediately,
But stood still with his eyes closed.
His fingers trembled slightly, creating faint crackling sounds in the air.
His body’s muscles shook one after another, producing continuous muffled sounds.
Chen used the Xingyi Fist and Three-Body Technique to familiarize himself with his current power by controlling his muscles.
After about half an hour,
Chen Sheng, who had initially gotten familiar with the changes in his body, once again moved closer to the riverside step by step.
Upon reaching the riverside, Chen Sheng started to undress.
Under the command of the Water Spirit, waves crashed down on him one after another.
His body remained motionless.
Yet, the falling water successfully washed away the flakes on his skin.
One minute later,
Everything returned to calm on the river surface.
Chen Sheng appeared on the shore,
His current appearance reflected in the perfectly still water without a single ripple.
A familiar feeling surged up in his heart.
A nostalgic expression couldn’t help but show on Chen Sheng’s face.
Although his skin appeared whiter and more delicate.
But what was reflected from the water’s surface was his appearance not long after he returned to Quanjiang City and before he started practicing the Breathing Technique.
Ever since he practiced the Breathing Technique, Chen Sheng found himself on an irreversible path to becoming a muscular giant.
It was not a big deal during fights.
But even in his daily life, his physique gradually became more and more robust as his attributes kept increasing. This had troubled Chen Sheng quite a bit.
Fortunately,
His appearance has finally returned to normal now.
Well… at least it is so in the normal state.
Chen Sheng looked at the attribute panel again.
In the skill column, both the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form Breathing Techniques had already disappeared.
However, this did not mean
That Chen Sheng had lost the enhancement brought about by these two Breathing techniques.
On the current panel,
There is an added bracket behind each attribute.
That was the attribute amplification Chen Sheng could achieve when he activated the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form previously.
This part of physical attributes came from the original breakthrough of the two breathing techniques, transformed from potential to actual strength.
It was usually hidden inside Chen Sheng’s body and could only be fully unleashed when he breathed at a specific frequency.
But now,
With the physical metamorphosis that accompanied the breakthrough of the
Profound and True Martial Arts’ Third Layer,
This part of the hidden strength within his body will be quickly converted into Chen Sheng’s basic attributes within a short period.
And the newly added Xuanwu Transformation in the skill column,
Is a terrifying method similar to the Breathing State, but far stronger than it.
It only has two effects.
Muscle control.
Potential stimulation.
Within a certain range, they can allow Chen Sheng to either harden his muscles, increasing his defense,
Or unleash his potential, enhancing his muscle explosiveness.
At most… he could double his current strength attribute, reaching a terrifying four hundred points.
However, this was not without constraints.
The more potential he stimulates and the more attributes he strengthens,
Chen Sheng’s body will bear an extremely terrifying burden, and therefore can only be maintained for a short period.
According to Chen Sheng’s own estimates,
If he stimulates his strength to twice his current state,
He would probably only be able to maintain it for about ten seconds.
If he couldn’t defeat his enemy within those ten seconds, Chen Sheng’s body would collapse first.
But even so, Xuanwu Transformation can be considered a very powerful ability.
Unlike the Eagle Body State and Rabbit form, it doesn’t just transform a portion of the potential into strength.
As Chen Sheng continues to break through the Profound and True Martial Arts,
More potential can be stimulated by Xuanwu Transformation as the upper limit for attribute enhancement will also continue to increase until it can extract all the potential from the user’s body.
This ability,
May not be astonishing for others and could even be considered an enhanced version of the Breathing Technique state.
But for Chen Sheng,
It was the supreme method.
Because his potential… is unlimited!
Therefore,
The emergence of Xuanwu Transformation made Chen Sheng very delighted.
To the point that he couldn’t wait to experience the feeling of having four hundred attribute points while standing by the riverside.
However…
Chen Sheng looked around.
Due to yesterday’s battle,
And the damage caused today while practicing inadvertently,
The riverside ground could be described as a complete mess.
And this,
Was only the destruction caused when he had just over a hundred attribute points.
If it were four hundred points…
Chen Sheng couldn’t imagine.
After deliberating for a long time,
Eventually,
Chen Sheng didn’t dare to experiment with the specific effects of Xuanwu Transformation by the riverside. But when he looked at the river beside him,
His eyes suddenly brightened up.
This might be a good choice.
Thus,
After communicating with the Water Spirit,
Chen Sheng, without any hesitation,
Plunged directly into the river.
Splash!
A massive wave surged up and splashed against the riverbank. As for Chen Sheng’s figure, it vanished without a trace..
