2: Chapter 2: Heal from Combat! Limitless Growth! The Terrifying Power of One Certificate for Life!

"Temper the Qi and Blood, hone the body."

"Let the Qi and Blood permeate the entire body, give birth to Qi and Blood Power, shed the mortal coil from here on, and step into the Mortal Shedding Realm!"

"Level 1 on the system corresponds exactly to the first heaven of the Mortal Shedding Realm!"

With some time left before Lu Dacheng returned, Lu Qingyun carefully studied this system during this interval.

[Host: Lu Qingyun]

[Race: Plain and unremarkable Slime (White)]

[Level: LV1 (Mortal Shedding Realm 1st Stage) (0 / 200)]

[Health Points: 100 / 100]

[Physical Strength: 1.4 (Do not doubt it, right now you are not even as good as a five-trash weakling.)]

[Mental Strength: 2.1 (Your soul is rather unique, causing your strength to be naturally stronger than existences of the same level, but... it is still pitifully weak.)]

[Technique: Blood Nourishing Technique (Proficient, 54 / 100). The maximum level for this technique is LV5. Please cultivate a new, high-level technique as soon as possible.]

[Martial Skill: Mountain-Shaking Fist (Proficient, 10 / 100). Forgive me, but I cannot imagine a Slime like you practicing fist techniques... Are you kidding me?]

[BOSS Initial Mechanism: 1. Combat Exit Health Recovery (After exiting combat, your status will recover to its peak at a speed of 20% per second!) 2. Infinite Growth (As a BOSS, your health bar must be long enough to make the world tremble! Every time you defeat/kill a living being, you can absorb a portion of its Health Points based on its strength, permanently enhancing your health bar!)]

"Combat Exit Health Recovery, Infinite Growth..."

Upon seeing these two entries, Lu Qingyun's eyes widened.

It was actually the prestigious percentage-based recovery and infinite growth!

What does 20% recovery per second mean?

In just five seconds, Lu Qingyun could turn from a near-death state to his peak condition!

And that Infinite Growth... permanently increasing Health Points—this made his sense of security explode!

"Kill or defeat a living being?"

Lu Qingyun lowered his head and saw Wu Chunlan, who had just woken up from her faint at his feet. After realizing what had happened, her eyes were filled with fear, and she wanted to escape frantically.

Suddenly, Lu Qingyun grinned.

In Wu Chunlan's eyes, this smile seemed to transform into a terrifying, soul-reaping ghost!

She realized what Lu Qingyun wanted to do and shouted, "Lu Qingyun, have you lost your mind!"

"From childhood, you've eaten and drunk on my dime. Now that you have some ability, do you want to bite the hand that fed you! I admit, we didn't care much about you when your leg was injured, but that's because Lu Tianshun was also practicing martial arts, and money is needed everywhere."

"Your aunt doing this was all for Lu Tianshun's sake! As his older brother, can't you show us some understanding?"

Hearing these words from Wu Chunlan, Lu Qingyun felt like laughing.

From childhood to adulthood, the money the Lu Dacheng family spent on him was probably not even one percent of the inheritance his parents left behind!

Even the house they were living in now was his!

After his parents died, the Lu Dacheng family forcibly moved in and drove him into the storage room.

"Understanding? Of course, I understand!"

"Since you are working so hard, then as your nephew... I naturally have to help you find release!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingyun relent, a flash of joy crossed Wu Chunlan's eyes.

But before she could be happy, Lu Qingyun's subsequent words plunged her into an icy cellar, and her entire body began to tremble!

She crawled toward the door like a madwoman, grabbed the doorknob, and pulled it down!

The door opened!

In an instant, she frantically wanted to push the door open!

But a foot landed on her head without warning; it was very light, without any force.

Yet it caused the expression on her face to freeze instantly!

"Bang!!"

Lu Qingyun did not understand what level a Physical Strength of 1.4 belonged to.

He only felt that with one kick, he didn't feel any resistance.

[Congratulations! As a Slime, you did not show any consideration for the friendship of being human in your past life, and you achieved your first kill! Level Experience +1, Health Points Limit +1, Current Health Points 101!]

Upon seeing the increased Health Points on the panel and a warm current flowing into his body, the smile on Lu Qingyun's face grew even wider.

Just at this moment, the door, which had been opened and left ajar, was pulled open from the outside.

Lu Dacheng's voice also rang out at this moment.

"Why didn't you close the door? What if a thief got in!"

"Why is there such a strong smell of rust? Do you want to eat fish today? Being so extravagant, did you get money from that little beast?"

As the door opened, Lu Dacheng habitually looked inside.

But this one glance caused him to freeze in place, his legs trembling uncontrollably!

"Blood... blood... so much blood..."

"Murder! Murder!!"

An older sister who was following behind Lu Dacheng and wanted to go upstairs heard this sound, looked back, and saw a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life!

A tall youth was stepping on a headless body.

Fresh blood was... surging from inside the door onto the hallway.

In an instant, Lu Dacheng's voice stopped abruptly!

Because the youth had already reached out, grabbed Lu Dacheng's throat, and dragged him directly inside!

Afterward, he showed her an extremely chilling smile.

Clang!

The door closed again.

The image of Lu Qingyun's final smile kept appearing in the older sister's mind outside the door. She covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, fearing that the door would open again and drag her inside too!

Her legs went limp; she wanted to move but sat weakly on the ground.

Her hands were supporting her in the pool of blood, feeling somewhat warm...

The scream could no longer be suppressed!

Lu Qingyun, who had dragged Lu Dacheng inside, scratched his head in confusion.

In his view, although his behavior was a bit rough, it was still quite polite, right?

To avoid affecting others, he had specially dragged the person inside and even smiled very politely at that older sister at the end.

"Forget it, never mind."

Lu Qingyun didn't pay too much attention.

Because he never intended to hide it from the beginning.

Since he had become a martial artist, although he was not considered very powerful in this world, he still had some privileges.

[Kill one adult ordinary male, Experience +1, Health Points Limit +1.2, Current Health Points 102.2!]

"Lu Dacheng and Wu Chunlan are both dead."

"The remaining Lu Tianshun has always lived on campus, so I can't deal with him for the time being."

"There should still be some time before the law enforcement officers arrive, so let's try out this world's technique."

Lu Qingyun set up his stance beside the two corpses as if no one was around.

Following his memories, he performed one high-difficulty move after another. Performing these high-difficulty movements consumed an extraordinary amount of physical energy, but it allowed his Qi and Blood to be constantly maintained in a stage of slow growth!

The Blood Nourishing Technique was originally the most basic technique written by the state.

Although its purpose was only to allow more people to stimulate their Qi and Blood Power and become martial artists.

But after becoming a martial artist, it still had some use.

[Cultivating Blood Nourishing Technique, Proficiency +1, Proficiency +1, Level Experience +1...]

With Lu Qingyun's body before he became a martial artist, he couldn't even lift a finger after practicing it at most three times a day.

But now, he had practiced it more than a dozen times in a row before feeling exhausted.

Moreover, because of the digitization, Lu Qingyun could ensure that he completed it with the best posture every time, and his proficiency kept increasing.

Proof once, proof forever; it is truly terrifying!

Even if Lu Qingyun's system had no other function, relying solely on this, reaching the pinnacle of the world was only a matter of time!

[Blood Nourishing Technique, Proficient, 78 / 100]

After being completely exhausted, Lu Qingyun looked at the technique that was about to break through and did not continue to push himself hard.

Instead, he stood in place and took a few deep breaths.

Five seconds later, Lu Qingyun's eyes were once again vibrant and shining with a sharp light!

As if the weakness just now was all faked!

"Practice again!"

The Blood Nourishing Technique, as one of the three major basic techniques, was originally intended to temper Qi and Blood, give birth to Qi and Blood Power, and achieve the status of a martial artist.

And after becoming a martial artist, the efficiency of practicing this technique was more than ten times higher!

Plus, because Lu Qingyun didn't worry about physical fatigue or factors like internal injuries, his cultivation speed was maxed out!

Before long.

Lu Qingyun opened his eyes, and a ray of sharp light flashed!

[Blood Nourishing Technique, Mastered! 1 / 500]

A very weak warm current flowed into Lu Qingyun's body, but it did not cause too much change in his stats.

Lu Qingyun didn't pay attention to it.

After all, a Mastered-level Blood Nourishing Technique might already be considered the top tier in schools.

But compared to a true martial artist, it was still far from enough!
