201: Chapter 201 Two Birds with One Stone! Physical attacks feed the clothes, lightning attacks feed the star core!

"Bring it on!"

Su Ming was not alarmed but delighted; he even felt a little anticipation.

After his Breakthrough to Tier 4 Gold Middle Stage, plus this new Move that looked quite fierce, how many mass points could it contribute?

"Come on, my good son! Let Daddy see your limits!"

He stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, and was even too lazy to fully activate [Kinetic Siphon], just waiting to take the hit.

He had developed a conditioned reflex to Ye Xiao's attacks.

It wasn't to dodge, but rather, "Another profit is coming."

Chidori hit his chest precisely.

At the moment of contact, two things happened simultaneously.

First, the surface lattice of the sinking star instantly locked.

That terrifying high-frequency vibration and penetrating power were indeed more than three times stronger than the previous lightning pillar.

Su Ming clearly felt that this strike wasn't "hitting" him, but "drilling" into him.

The physical penetration component generated by the high-frequency vibration was precisely captured by the sinking star's heavy-nucleus defense.

The moment the lattice compressed to the density of the Earth's core, a dull recoil force flooded back wildly along Ye Xiao's arm.

The next instant, that thunderbird was firmly stamped onto Su Ming's chest.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only a dull thud.

On the unremarkable black T-shirt on Su Ming's chest, a dark golden lattice network composed of countless tiny hexagons suddenly lit up!

[Heavy-Nucleus Defense] triggered passively!

The fanaticism on Ye Xiao's face faded by more than half.

An irresistible recoil force, mixed with the forcibly reversed Thunder Affinity Source Energy, surged back wildly along his arm!

"Crack!"

A series of dense bone-cracking sounds.

His entire arm directly dislocated from the elbow down.

And in Su Ming's mind, two notification sounds exploded simultaneously.

[sinking star absorbed physical penetration impact... Repair progress + 0.005%!]

[Devoured Tier 4 Gold high-frequency Thunder Affinity Source Energy... mass points + 8800!]

Su Ming's pupils widened slightly.

Chidori itself is a composite attack of "physical penetration + energy explosion"!

Feed the physical part to the sinking star, feed the energy part to the star core!

"One bird, two meals?!"

0.005% plus 8800 mass points, a total of 9300!

The previous lightning pillar was only 5000.

This one nearly doubled it!

The power bank... has evolved.

Ye Xiao grabbed his right arm with his left hand and twisted it back hard.

"Click."

He set it back himself.

It hurt so much that his vision went black, but the corners of his mouth were actually smiling.

"Brother Ming! This Move... this Move is truly fierce!"

He gasped for air, his eyes full of excitement.

Just a moment ago, he clearly felt how terrifying the penetrating power of Chidori was.

If it hit an opponent of the same tier, even a Tier 4 Peak Source Energy shield would be drilled right through by this thing!

The key was that the energy consumption was low; it was a bona fide single-target god-tier skill!

Although it still had no reaction when hitting Su Ming, Ye Xiao was already completely numb.

What he wanted was to surpass himself.

"Not bad."

Su Ming nodded approvingly, his tone full of sincere appreciation.

Not appreciating Ye Xiao's talent.

But appreciating his output efficiency.

"This new Move of yours has a lot of potential."

"Continue!"

Ye Xiao shivered all over.

These past two days, these were the two words he feared the most.

"Brother Ming, my arm just broke."

"Breaking is good; it means you practiced it properly."

Su Ming patted his chest.

"Don't worry, I'm stable."

Ye Xiao knew he couldn't escape, and with a low shout, the second Chidori rushed straight at his chest.

"Zzz...!"

[Repair progress + 0.005%! mass points + 8800!]

"Again."

Third shot...

Fourth shot...

Ye Xiao's face began to turn pale, and the lightning light of the Chidori visibly dimmed by a circle.

Su Ming glanced at the panel... the data for the fourth shot dropped to 7500.

"You're weak now."

Ye Xiao knelt on one knee, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

"Brother Ming... I'm really empty."

Su Ming spoke in a tone that hated iron for not becoming steel.

"Look at you, you went soft after just this little while. How will you hang out with me in the future?"

He fished an Advanced life recovery potion that Shen Qingci had given him earlier out of the System space and threw it in front of Ye Xiao.

"Drink one to recover first, then come for another round later."

Ye Xiao: "..."

"Still coming?! I've become a dried-up person, big brother!"

Su Ming looked back at him.

"You just had a Breakthrough, don't you want to strike while the iron is hot and consolidate it?"

Ye Xiao moved his lips, really wanting to say no need.

But the Source Energy in his body was indeed more condensed than before.

Although this training method was outrageous, the effect was also truly outrageous.

"Fine, I'll drink!"

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and picked up the potion, gulping it down.

The fractured bones healed rapidly under the medicinal power.

He leaped up from the ground, his eyes becoming crazy again.

"Brother Ming, be careful!"

"Chidori!"

"Boom!"

[Repair progress + 0.007%! mass points + 10000!]

Ten thousand points!

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

A full-power Chidori after recovering to full state, mass points directly broke ten thousand?

This kid has improved by another notch in just a few minutes?

Ye Xiao also felt the extraordinary performance of that Move.

"Brother Ming! This Chidori is really... really too awesome!"

He was so excited he was incoherent.

"How did you come up with it? Oh right, from now on it won't be called Nine Heavens Chidori anymore."

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Then what is it called?"

Ye Xiao was incredibly serious.

"It's called Ming-Thunder Chidori!"

"..."

Su Ming almost kicked him.

"Get lost."

"Is that a proper name?"

"If that's shouted out and people hear it, they'll think we have some improper relationship."

Ye Xiao thought about it, and that was true.

He continued to ask like an eager learner.

"Then are there other Moves in this Thunder-Escape System? Teach me quickly!"

Su Ming coughed guiltily.

Teach you?

I don't even know it myself, damn it.

I don't even have Thunder Affinity Source Energy; I'm just making it up based on cartoons I watched in my previous life.

The theory and hand seals from earlier?

That was Kishimoto and Shueisha's doing!

If you actually comprehended it, it only proves one thing.

You, Ye Xiao, are a real Genius!

But this couldn't be said.

If said, it wouldn't be mysterious anymore.

The persona of a big shot relies on information asymmetry.

Su Ming cleared his throat, changing his face to an unfathomable expression.

"What's the rush? Chidori is just the entry level."

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, commenting pretentiously.

"Your current problem is that the compression ratio is not enough; at least 30% of the energy is leaking. The vibration frequency is also uneven, sometimes fast and sometimes slow."

This wasn't nonsense.

Ye Xiao's previous strike was indeed rough; the thunderbird's form shattered before it could even be maintained.

"Go back and practice. Extend the maintenance time of Chidori from one second to over ten seconds. When your hands don't shake anymore, I'll teach you the next one."

Ye Xiao nodded vigorously, wishing he could sit down and contemplate right now.

"But before that..."

Su Ming pressed him back to his original spot, revealing a kind smile.

Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

He was too familiar with this smile.

Every time Su Ming wore this smile, it meant he was going to suffer.

"Recover your Source Energy first, and then... give me three more shots."

"Young man, if you don't push yourself, you'll never know how strong you are."

"..."

Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, forced to the grindstone.

Forty minutes later.

Ye Xiao was completely sprawled on the floor, eyes rolled back, foaming at the mouth, unable to Move a single finger.

Su Ming mercifully let him off.

Scientific farming, one cannot rush for success.

He looked at his System panel with satisfaction.

[Equipment: sinking star]

[Current repair progress: 3.81%]

[mass points balance: 248070]

Forty minutes, repair progress increased by 0.1%, and over eighty thousand mass points entered the account.

The most critical thing was that from the first shot to the last, the data of Ye Xiao's Chidori kept rising.

Comprehension Ability is indeed something that diligence cannot compensate for.

This kid is truly suitable for the single-point explosion route.

Su Ming walked to Ye Xiao's side and kicked his calf, which was still twitching slightly.

"Alright, let's stop here for today."

"Seeing that you performed well, you can go to the Source Abyss with me the day after tomorrow for training."

Ye Xiao didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes, only a sound of "hiss" with no specific meaning came from his throat.

Su Ming had originally planned to go to the Western Frontier to find Night Crow and the others himself.

However, the single-point penetrating power of Ye Xiao's several rounds of Chidori had already touched the threshold of a full-power strike from a Tier 5 Platinum Middle Stage.

Then might as well go together.

Strength improvement was also a good thing for him.

He once again praised himself for his business acumen.

Investing one Tier 6 crystal core, producing a fast-charging perpetual motion machine.

If the venture capital circle heard of this return on investment, they would have to kneel down and call him the Ancestral Master.

That's right!

If I could recruit another pure physical Body Cultivator lackey, wouldn't that be even more perfect!
