C23 Killed Wang Sishi!
Bang!
Wang Sishi was, once again, flung away; since Zhan Tianming was going in the opposite direction, he stomped his foot fiercely on the ground and changed his course.
Whoosh!
In a single jump, he flew above Wang Sishi.
Still midair, he kicked out.
Nine Dragons Kick!
Bang!
The kick struck right at Wang Sishi's chest.
The force behind the kick made Wang Sishi's eyes as wide as saucers.
Zhan Tianming did not stop as he sent out a series of kicks towards Wang Sishi while still maneuvering in the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, he kicked out 18 times.
Rage fueled every single one of those kicks.
Wang Sishi's chest was kicked so hard that it caved in, blood spewing out of his every orifice.
Instantly, a string of numbers appeared on his head.
Critical Hit! -800 HP!
Critical Hit! -900 HP!
Critical Hit! -1,400 HP!
Kill!
Within seconds, he dealt over 3,000 points of damage to Wang Sishi.
For his last kick, Zhan Tianming did something special. He used Wang Sishi's body as a platform, and using all his strength, he jumped up from that platform called Wang Sishi.
Boom!
Due to the powerful recoil force, Wang Sishi's body was smashed into the ground.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed Wang Sishi. You are rewarded with 3,000 experience points and 43 silver tales."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have killed your first human. You are rewarded with 1 skill point."
"Note: Skill points can raise the level of any martial skill by one."
"Do you want to use it?"
Hearing the system notification in his head, Zhan Tianming was startled at first, but afterward, he was overjoyed.
"Haha!"
"My first kill rewarded me with 3,000 experience points!"
"I also got a skill point!"
"Use it, of course!"
"Please select the martial skill that you wish to upgrade."
Was there a need to choose?
Without even thinking about it, Zhan Tianming immediately chose the Proud Dragon Repents.
"Ding dong!"
"Proud Dragon Repents has been leveled up. It's now a Level-2 martial skill.
Skill: Proud Dragon Repents (Supreme)
Level: 2
Proficiency: 76/50,000
True Qi Consumption: 200
Description: Proud Dragon Repents is an extremely powerful martial technique. 30% of the time, it can double the user's attack power. 30% of the time, it can also help the user deliver a garrotting effect with their strike. Increasing proficiency increases the probability of triggering the above effects. If you increase your proficiency nine times and reach the state of Grand Perfection, you can trigger the double effect and the garrotting effect 100% of the time.
"Sure enough, after reaching level two, the possibility of triggering additional effects has increased."
Zhan Tianming was ecstatic.
Whoosh!
While still smiling and jumping around, he abruptly struck out his palm.
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
Boom!
A dragon-shaped made entirely of True Qi rushed towards its target. Unlike before, this True Qi dragon was much more solid.
Bang!
The Kudzu Python, who was in hot pursuit, couldn't dodge and was struck square by the true qi dragon and was sent flying.
Critical Hit! -6,000 HP!
Zhan Tianming dealt four-digit damage to the python with that attack.
Right now, the python was weak; Zhan Tianming would never let go of such a good opportunity.
He knew to strike the iron while it was hot.
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
"Ding dong! You've triggered the garrotting effect!"
Boom!
When his palm struck the Kudzu Python's body, a deadly amount of force coursed through its body.
Swish!
Critical Hit! -15,000 HP!
This time, the damage was in five digits.
"Awesome!"
"Again!"
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
"Ugh…"
Zhan Tianming was startled as he was unable to execute the attack.
'Damn it!'
'I completely forgot to factor in the True Qi consumption!'
He was a gamer, a godly one at that. So, how could he make such a noobish mistake?
It was a disgrace.
Right now, he had only about 100 points of True Qi left.
The overbearing level-two Proud Dragon Repents required 200 points of True Qi, so he couldn't release it.
One thing was good, though, the Kudzu Python only had a bit of HP left.
He took a look.
HP: 2
'Just that?'
"Haha!"
"The second level of the Proud Dragons Repent sure is taxing. As expected of a Supreme Level martial skill."
"Awesome! This is just great!"
Since the Kudzu Python only had two Hp left, it could no longer move and was just lying on the ground. Devoid of any strength and life, it couldn't even crawl out of this situation.
Zhan Tianming decided to use the python to do one last target practice. After all, he couldn't just give up on such a great opportunity to increase his proficiency in Nine Dragons Aim.
Swish!
The rock with the python's name on it flew towards it.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have killed the Kudzu Python. You are rewarded with 3,800 experience, 1 Dragon Qi, 1 piece of snake meat, 1 portion of snake blood essence, and 1 attribute point."
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have obtained a camouflage technique. Do you wish to cultivate it?"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have activated System Shop."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have broken through — you are now a six-star Martial Disciple! You are rewarded with 1 attribute point."
Before long, Zhan Tianming was bombarded by a series of system notifications.
"A camouflage technique?"
Zhan Tianming was startled, but it didn't take him long to come to a decision.
"Cultivate."
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming, you have learned a new technique."
He clicked the system interface and looked at the technique.
Skills: Camouflage (Intermediate)
Level: 1.
Proficiency: 0/100
True Qi Consumption: 10
Description: After the Camouflage technique is activated around mountains, rocks, or trees, the user can blend into his surroundings as long as he remains stationary. Enemies that are at least 10 meters away from the user will be clueless to the user's presence. This technique consumes 10 points of true qi every minute. After leveling up, the camouflage effect will be even better.
"Haha!"
"Isn't this like the advanced version of hiding?"
Although it was only a support skill, Zhan Tianming was still very satisfied.
"Master, master, maaaster! Quick! Give me the snake blood. I want to drink it."
Little Purple looked anxious.
Zhan Tianming grinned and casually threw the snake blood essence from the system space over to Little Purple.
With two gulps, Little Purple drank all the snake blood.
Buzz~ Buzz~
Buzz~ Buzz~
Soon, Little Purple began glowing with a purplish-red glow.
After that, he slept... like a pig.
"Damn! Sleeping just after eating? A pig indeed."
After he disdainfully said that, Zhan Tianming no longer cared about it.
Roar!
Roar!
The low growl of a Vicious Beast slowly came out.
Zhan Tianming grinned.
The Kudzu Python's blood flowed out and dispersed into the air, luring the nearby vicious beasts over.
Zhan Tianming jumped into a patch of grass and activated his camouflage technique.
His body gradually merged with the grass.
Gradually, many vicious beasts began to gather towards the Kudzu Python's corpse.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!
Roar—
The Vicious Beasts began to fight with each other.
The Kudzu Python was a ninth stage Vicious Beast, so its corpse was a tonic for other wild beasts and vicious beasts.
However, only Zhan Tianming knew.
The Kudzu Python's corpse no longer had any nutritional value.
Why? Because all the good stuff had been stripped by the system and was now in his system space.
Seeing the vicious beasts chasing each other, Zhan Tianming did not make a move immediately.
He continued to lurk...
With each passing second, more vicious beasts gathered near the corpse.
He was almost done waiting.
Swish!
Zhan Tianming leaped up.
"Proud Dragon Repents!"
He struck out with his palm.
Boom!
The dozen or so vicious beasts surrounding the Kudzu Python's corpse were instantly killed.
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong!"
After the slaughter, he was bombarded by system notifications again.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After the palm strike, Zhan Tianming flung stones like a Gatling gun.
Bam! Bam!
Almost all the vicious beasts were struck at their fatal spots.
In a few moments, all the surrounding beasts and vicious beasts were killed.
However, the strongest among them was a mere second-stage Vicious Beast.
After earning some experience and ingredients, Zhan Tianming sat on the ground cross-legged and cultivated the True Qi technique.
His True Qi recovered at an astonishing speed.
After his True Qi was fully recovered, Zhan Tianming opened his System Shop.
When he saw the items, joy and anger simultaneously filled his heart.
"Damn! Is this a joke?"
