Chapter Sixteen: From Novice to Master!

  Run away?

  How embarrassing! I entered the Soul Realm myself, but haven't accomplished anything yet. I've been spending all my time fleeing, losing face for Xiong Mao (a nickname).

  But there's no way, this elite monster doesn't seem to be something that can be handled alone. A level 30 top-tier monster with absolutely abnormal strength, 60,000 HP, it's really terrifying, more than three times its own blood volume. Wanting to take down this monster is going to be tough.

  So Zhou Bo could only choose to flee.

  Shadowless phantom footwork starts, body quickly escapes.

  At the same time, my stomach was still growling. Geez, you've been making a racket all day, just because you haven't eaten anything for a day, it's not like you're starving to death or something?

  While fleeing, Zhou Bo didn't even have time to look at Zhu Guo's attributes, his stomach was really hurting from hunger, and he casually threw Zhu Guo into his mouth.

  Gobbling down hastily, he chewed it a couple of times and then swallowed the red fruit directly into his stomach. It was sour and astringent, not tasty at all.

  But just as Zhou Bo was about to savor the flavor, a wave of heat suddenly rose up in his lower abdomen, and his body felt like it was in a huge furnace. The intense energy burned fiercely within him, making his breathing heavy, and even filling him with waves of terror.

  The breath exhaled from my mouth has all turned into thick white smoke. Dammit, what the hell is this Crimson Fruit? Won't it be used for...?! Why does it feel so hot?! My entire body feels like it's going to be completely incinerated, a terrifying feeling that makes every breath I take a struggle.

  "Ding, system prompt, congratulations to player Zhou Bo for consuming Zhu Guo, random internal skill level is now full."

  "Ding, system prompt: Player Zhou Bo has only cultivated the Qingcheng Heart Method and cannot proceed with randomization. Confirm entry into internal skill Qingcheng Heart Method level upgrade full level."

  "Ding, system notification: Congratulations to player Zhou Bo, your Nei Gong Xin Fa (Internal Skill Heart Method) has reached level 100. Triggering the full-level effect of Internal Skill, your talent is increased by 10 points!"

  Three consecutive system prompts made Zhou Bo's aura surge, but also made him cry out in shock and disappointment. "Damn it, I've been cheated!" Who could have thought that the effect of Zhu Guo would be a random internal skill maxed out? Originally, he had assumed it would increase his overall attributes or boost his internal energy. So Zhou Bo swallowed it without hesitation, but unexpectedly, it was a random internal skill maxed out. "Random my ass," he cursed, as he currently only had one beginner-level skill, Qing Cheng Heart Method... Without a doubt, this Qing Cheng Heart Method became the sole target of the random effect, directly maxing it out.

  Qingcheng Heart Method maxed out, health increased by 100%, internal energy increased by 3,000, and internal energy damage increased by 1,000. Although it's just an entry-level heart method, the attributes are still quite impressive after maxing out. However, Zhou Bo is still a bit unsatisfied - if it were a high-level internal skill, the effect would be absolutely stunning after maxing out.

  The only thing that made Zhou Bo feel satisfied was the attribute of increasing his qualifications by ten points, which could increase his speed of cultivating internal strength and make his heart feel a little better.

  Actually, Zhou Bo didn't know that every kind of internal skill cultivation to the highest level will have a full-level effect. After high-level internal skills are fully leveled, the damage increase is extremely terrifying, but absolutely no attribute increase will appear, especially innate attributes like talent and luck that cannot be increased. These attributes can only be increased through the full-level effect of entry-level heart methods. However, almost nobody in the game wastes their time on entry-level heart methods, so this method of special attribute increase remains a secret to this day, unknown to anyone, perhaps Zhou Bo is the only one.

  Just as Zhou Bo had just swallowed the red date, the big head of Heifeng Village behind him suddenly became violent, his eyes turned bright red. Damn it, that was his own red date, and it was eaten by this bear. This time, he must catch this bear back to the village and stew it, not a single drop of soup can be wasted.

  "Go to hell!" A crazy roar, the leader of the mountain stronghold's body rose into the air, a pair of iron palms opened in mid-air, and the violent cold wind howled around, the astonishing palm force had already begun to spread wildly around.

  This palm wind arrived suddenly, and Zhou Bo didn't have time to dodge. The palm wind had already reached his back, and Zhou Bo could clearly feel the terrifying power that could destroy anything. Frightened, he suddenly turned around, and a pair of bear paws met it head-on with a reverse stroke. At the same time, the inner force in his body surged rapidly, all gathering on his hands.

  Bang!

  A deafening explosion echoed through the air.

  The tremendous force made Zhou Bo's arms numb, and his body retreated continuously under that violent power.

  What an amazing power!

  Zhou Bo's heart couldn't help but secretly tremble with fear, he looked up and his face couldn't help but slightly pale. He took a few steps back, but when he looked at the bandit leader again, he saw that with just one palm strike, the man flew out directly, spewing fresh blood from his mouth, and on top of his head, a terrifying damage of nearly 3,000 points faintly appeared.

  Three thousand? How is that possible, how did my own attack power become so strong? A casual palm actually caused a terrifying attack of three thousand points, and with one palm, it directly sent a thirty-level elite flying out?

  How is it possible?

  When did your own strength become so powerful?

  Green City Heart Method!

  In an instant, Zhou Bo suddenly understood that this was the effect of Qing Cheng Heart Method. The 100-level Qing Cheng Heart Method allowed Lin Shuang's internal energy value to increase by 3,000 and his internal skill damage to increase by 1,000. Adding this to his previous internal energy value of over 1,000 points, his total internal energy exceeded 4,500. According to calculations, it should be around two or three points of internal energy, which is equivalent to one point of internal skill damage. Although not entirely accurate, the difference shouldn't be too great.

  Haha, I didn't expect Zhu Guo to have this effect, suddenly turning himself from a small rookie into a somewhat powerful master.

  After reacting, the mountain bandit leader also became not so scary in Zhou Bo's eyes. A level 30 elite, after killing him, should be able to get a lot of good stuff, right? The experience points should be quite substantial, shouldn't they?

  In an instant, the greed in his eyes made this mountain bandit leader feel a little fearful and apprehensive, subconsciously retreating two steps. Moreover, this seemingly foolish-looking panda's casual palm contained an overwhelming and terrifying internal force, one palm causing him to spit out fresh blood. The terror of that attack was even more frightening to the mountain bandit leader.

  But in front of his own men, the leader of the mountain bandits had a mind to escape, but he couldn't bear to lose face. If he couldn't even handle a panda, what would he use to mix with his brothers?

  Damn it, this panda might just be lucky, that's right, just lucky, maybe after eating the red fruit, suddenly burst out, what kind of internal skill does a panda have!

  Pride, greed, and desire swirling in his mind, the bandit leader finally decided to take a risk. With a loud roar, a tiger-striped steel knife appeared in his hand, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind as he slashed down at Zhou Bo's head.
