66: Chapter 66 Muay Thai Unlocked

Chapter 66 Muay Thai Unlocked

The footsteps were hurried.

It sounded like someone was stepping on puddles, running frantically in the rainy night with an extremely dense step frequency.

Fang Cheng instantly opened his eyes wide, looking toward the left side of the street, in the direction of the hotel.

Through the dim light, he saw a blurry black figure running over.

"That is..."

Before Fang Cheng had time to wonder, the figure had already quickly run in front of the Tubular Building.

The drainage System of Jiuchang Street was aging, and a sudden heavy rain in a short period of time easily caused waterlogging.

The turbulent water flow, which submerged the backs of feet, surprisingly did not slow down that person's moving speed at all.

Like a black hurricane sweeping past, it flung away all the rainwater blocking the way.

Seeming to notice the gaze from upstairs.

The black figure also raised his head and glanced toward the Tubular Building.

That pair of eyes was shockingly bright, like light bulbs emitting a green fluorescent glow.

Or like a feline predator specially haunting the night to hunt for food.

Fang Cheng's heart suddenly tightened.

He only felt a chill running straight up his spine to the top of his head, and goosebumps broke out on his arms.

Because of his relatively high spirit attribute.

Even though the night was pitch black and the rain was heavy, with his vision he could still vaguely make out that person's appearance.

Draped in a black raincoat, the hood covered the face, forming a shadow.

Only when raising the head did it reveal that pair of creepily glowing eyes and the blood-stained corners of the mouth.

The two gazes, one high and one low, intertwined and touched in the torrential rainy night sky.

The corners of that person's mouth split upward, revealing pearly white fangs, as if smiling and greeting him.

Then he quickly lowered his head and continued to sprint forward.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in the distance of the alley, at the end of the field of vision.

The rain was continuous, like many fingers stretched down from the sky.

Caressing this dark and cold city, and also caressing Fang Cheng's tense face.

He took a deep breath, immediately closed the window, and turned to walk into the bathroom.

Swish swish.

Turning on the faucet, he cupped a handful of cold water with both hands and buried his face in it.

One second, two seconds... half a minute...

Until he was almost suffocated, he abruptly raised his head, greedily breathing the fresh air.

"What on earth is this thing?"

"An evil ghost? A monster?"

"Or a freak whose body mutated like Majima Goro?"

Fang Cheng exhaled a foul breath, staring straight at the washbasin mirror in front of him.

That pair of glowing green, beast-like pupils constantly lingered in his mind.

"Human eyes can simply not have that kind of brightness!"

He brushed aside the slightly long bangs on his forehead, clearly locking eyes with himself in the mirror.

The lights were not turned on indoors, and heavy rain was falling outside the window. It could be said that almost no light shone in.

However——

The pair of pupils reflected in the mirror were like stars in a cold night, twinkling.

Even through the corneas, they refracted a faint, flickering dark red luster.

"Uh..."

Fang Cheng's mouth opened slightly, and he instantly froze in place.

Discovering for the first time.

His own eyes were actually very bright even in the dark!

This discovery felt like a slap in the face, instantly overturning his previous conclusion.

Fang Cheng frowned slightly, a bizarre thought suddenly flashing through his mind.

"Could it be that that guy smiled at me because he regarded me as one of his own?"

The light blue light screen slowly unfolded in front of his eyes, blocking the slightly weird figure in the mirror.

The look of shock and suspicion in Fang Cheng's eyes rapidly receded, replaced by calmness and a gradually rising excitement.

The reason humans generate fear lies entirely in their own extreme fragility.

To overcome this emotion, the only way is to make oneself strong enough to crush the source of all fear.

Fang Cheng turned around and returned to the bedroom, glancing at the alarm clock time.

4:02.

With no sleepiness at all now, he simply started his morning exercise early.

He stepped over to the living room balcony.

Staring at the pitch-black rainy night outside the window, he first did a set of warm-up exercises.

Then his shoulders shook slightly, and his steps stepped out one after the other.

His fists struck continuously like lightning flashes, and his arms swung alongside sweeping motions.

Swoosh!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

As muscular force snapped, various combination techniques fusing Boxing, Sanda, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai were used effortlessly.

Especially the newly learned Muay Thai elbow and knee techniques were executed with increasing proficiency and sharpness.

In the darkness, the figure flickered agilely and continuously.

The sky outside was also gradually growing dimly brighter.

Even though blocked by thick cumulonimbus clouds, the dawn still shone through the window, illuminating the figure diligently exercising indoors.

Without any error, first release, internal content, check one by one!

Fang Cheng exhaled a puff of hot air, beads of sweat slightly oozing from his face.

Another morning exercise session ended.

The panel emerged before his eyes, and messages of attribute increases and experience enhancements scrolled past.

Fang Cheng reviewed today's harvest, a slight sense of fulfillment increasing in his heart.

Looking at another prompt message, his eyes shone even more brilliantly.

[Congratulations, through diligent practice of your skills, you have gained initial comprehension and successfully mastered a combat-type skill]

[Unlocked Skill: Muay Thai lv0 (0/100)]

Fang Cheng wiped the sweat from his face and raised his head to look at the dark-clouded sky outside the window.

The rain had diminished a lot, and human voices on the street became active again.

When he turned around to go wash his face.

He heard a sound of police sirens "woo-woo", suddenly coming from afar.

Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly, and he quickly walked to the window, looking down from upstairs.

He saw a hatchback with paint faded and old flashing police lights, driving hurriedly through the narrow street.

The wheels constantly splashed sewage, and pedestrians dodging to both sides one after another.

Through the wet car windows, a familiar face could be faintly seen.

"Is it Uncle Zhou?"

"Could it be for that bizarre event that happened in the early morning?"

Fang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, cannot help but making guesses in his heart.

...

The three-story hotel with mottled exterior walls stood quietly in the gray rain curtain.

On the extinguished lightbox sign, the four characters "IKEA Hotel" were written.

Several uniformed patrol officers pulled up black and yellow caution tape in the rain in front of the door, constantly driving away nearby residents who came to watch the commotion.

It was raining early in the morning, yet it could not stop the curiosity of the onlookers.

Some stood under the eaves across the street, pointing and gesturing over here.

Some simply put up umbrellas, crowded in front of the warning line, stretching their necks to look inside.

"I heard a murder happened here last night?"

"More than a murder, it's a dismemberment case!"

"Really, I just saw those cops go in, and they all threw up!"

"Hiss, killing is killing, why play such high-difficulty stuff?"

The crowd's expressions showed fear, along with some inexplicable excitement.

The successive barking of dogs around seemed to also add to the fun for these onlookers.

After a moment, indeed a young police officer ran out quickly from inside.

With puffed-up cheeks, he leaned against the base of the wall and vomited a mouthful of yellow water.

At this time, a police car blaring its horn had just parked by the street.

Three criminal police officers wearing jackets stepped out of the car, blocking their heads with their clothes, and ran quickly toward the hotel.

"Step aside, step aside!"

"Don't hinder the police from handling the case, what's so good to look at?!"

One of the dark-faced men crudely pushed the crowd away with his hand, squeezing inside with two subordinates.

Chapter 65's setting regarding the skill upper limit felt inappropriate, so it was modified. The subsequent plot also needs quite a few changes. The second chapter will be posted a bit later, everyone can re-read the previous chapter.
