Chapter 134: Explosive Fist and Skill Synergy!

After mentioning that the appearance locations of the items were strange, Bai Tianyu fell silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

After a long time, he spoke again.

“In the Black Fog Zone, we obtained the second Basic Breathing Technique, some weapons, and another Source Power Skill.”

“The problem isn’t whether these things are useful or not, but rather the locations where these things appeared…”

“The locations of these items are within the ruins of that ancient city I mentioned earlier. It’s strange, the placement of these items is quite conspicuous, and they are well-preserved, as if… as if someone deliberately placed them there for us.”

Huo Sheng listened while nodding, and only after Bai Tianyu finished did he speak, “Text.”

“The text is very peculiar… Is it in Chinese?”

Bai Tianyu nodded, “Yes.”

Huo Sheng said, “That’s the strangest part.”

“Do you still remember the book, “Basic Breathing Technique” that Chang Yi had before?”

“After some research, we discovered that Chang Yi’s Basic Breathing Technique is the original and not a copy made by him.”

“And the original is written in Chinese…”

There was no need to say more; it was clear what the strange point was.

“I also communicated with the New York side. The basic breathing technique they obtained in the Black Mist Zone was written in English.”

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were playing a game, with this world as a chessboard and all the survivors as p.a.w.ns.

“He” designed everything and secretly manipulated everything.

This was the theory of the mastermind behind the scenes that Huo Sheng had mentioned before.

However, the true purpose and intentions of this mastermind were truly inscrutable.

Lu Ming did not like speculating too much.

In fact, when Bai Tianyu mentioned “another Source Power Skill” earlier, Lu Ming had become a bit restless.

After Huo Sheng finished speaking, Lu Ming hurriedly said, “Let me see that Source Power Skill.”

Bai Tianyu nodded slightly. He flipped his pocket and took out a book similar to the Basic Breathing Technique.

He handed the book to Lu Ming, who looked down at it.

What greeted his eyes were two large characters.

[Explosive Fist].

Bai Tianyu and Huo Sheng were still chatting.

They were discussing what they had seen and heard in the Black Mist Zone.

However, Lu Ming stopped listening to what followed.

He just sat at the dining table and stared intently at the booklet in his hand.

[Explosive Fist]!

It was not a breathing technique, but a fist technique!

Through the Basic Breathing Technique, Lu Ming knew that this kind of thing was called a Source Power Skill and could be recorded by the system!

Since then, Lu Ming had been eager to obtain a Source Power Skill that he could practice and master right now, but he would not risk going to the Black Mist Zone.

So, this matter was stuck in a stalemate.

But now, Bai Tianyu had brought back what Lu Ming had been longing for!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming no longer wanted to bother with anything else.

He immediately turned the pages of the book and a large number of words and diagrams fell into Lu Ming’s eyes.

The graphics on the book were realistic, and the words were simple and easy to understand.

In short, it was easy to learn and easy to master.

After carefully reading it once, Lu Ming closed the book and began to savor and deduce in his mind.

Unlike the fist techniques here, the Explosive Fist, as a source power technique, emphasizes using specific breathing rhythms to mobilize the internal and external source power in the body – the mystery factor.

It was a fist technique that greatly increased the lethality of attacks through the resonance of the mystery factor inside the body and the mystery factor in the external air.

It was similar to practical martial arts.

Explosive Fist did not have any specific moves.

To put it bluntly, it is more like a way of exerting force with punches—similar to the Cold Light.

“Therefore, its true value lies in the breathing rhythm and method of exerting force recorded in the book.”

Hand-to-hand combat LV32 (2000/3200) greatly increased Lu Ming’s comprehension of hand-to-hand combat. This allowed Lu Ming to quickly find the key points in the fist manual.

He did not even need to practice physically.

Just by simulating it in his mind, Lu Ming soon had a change in expression.

He opened the attribute panel and scrolled to the bottom.

A few lines of new text appeared on Lu Ming’s retina.

Source Power Skill:

Basic Breathing Technique (Entry) (1/100).

Explosive Fist (Novice) (1/100): World Realm Source Power Skill. After mastering it, it significantly enhances the punching power. You have initially mastered the usage of Explosive Fist, and your overall attributes +30! Your free attribute points +30!

Note: Your hand-to-hand combat level has been detected to be LV32. When you cultivate Explosive Fist, you will receive additional proficiency increase.

Amplification factor: 3.2 times!

Note: Warm reminder that practicing source power techniques will significantly accelerate the proficiency gains of related basic skills.

“Hiss.”

Lu Ming gasped in astonishment.

Firstly, he was surprised by the number of attribute points provided by the Source Power Technique.

Three-dimensional 30, free attribute points 30!

And this was just the attribute points obtained from the entry level! Lu Ming did not even dare to think about how many attribute points he could get at higher levels!

Secondly, he was shocked by the synergy between the regular skills: the hand-to-hand combat, the Source Power Technique!

From the two notes in the attribute system, it was easy to see one thing: the higher the level of the Hand-to-hand Combat Skill, the faster the cultivation speed of the Explosive Fist, and cultivating the Explosive Fist could greatly increase the proficiency of the Hand-to-hand Combat Skill.

From now on, Lu Ming need not spar with w.a.n.g Xiong anymore.

Fierce practice of Explosive Fist became the best and most efficient choice for Lu Ming to practice hand-to-hand combat.

With this in mind, Lu Ming could not sit still anymore.

Seeing that Bai Tianyu and Huo Sheng were still chatting… Lu Ming stood up and said.

“I’m going to exercise.”

With that, he immediately walked out of the dining room.

It was already past dinner time.

However, the gradually darkening night could not stop Lu Ming’s determination to farm attributes!

■Rest?’

No way.

Explosive Fist to Lu Ming was like a gaming enthusiast getting a newly released AAA game; he would be letting his loved ones down if he did not stay up all night playing it!

Walking out of Good Hope Village, Lu Ming came to a vacant area near Good Hope Village.

He looked around and found that there were no distractions. Lu Ming calmed down, closed his eyes, and simulated the practice method of the Explosive Fist in his mind once again.

Soon, he opened his eyes.

He adjusted his breathing.

Until at a certain moment, Lu Ming threw a punch!

Lu Ming could clearly feel that the moment he punched, there seemed to be a warm flow surging out from his cells and converging on his right fist..

As he threw the punch with force, the invisible mystery factors in the air were drawn towards his fist like magnets, rapidly covering its surface.

And when the punch reached its maximum, Lu Ming heard a m.u.f.fled explosion.

In the next second, a visible shock wave surged out from his fist, sweeping fiercely towards the distance!

This fist wind was linear, twisted but very condensed.

After the fist wind had flown about ten meters forward, it “boom”ed again, creating a wave of explosions in the nearby air…

Watching the effect of his Explosive Fist, Lu Ming fell silent for a long time, remaining speechless.

He had not used his full strength…

As the saying went, one force can subdue ten. Lu Ming’s full-powered punch would definitely have a much greater effect than this Explosive Fist.

However, if he did not use the Explosive Fist and only used the strength from before to deliver a serious punch or a Cold Light Stab Punch ,the lethality produced would definitely be far inferior to the source power skill, the Explosive Fist!

Thinking of this, Lu Ming punched again.

This time, it was a Cold Light Stab Punch with the same power.

As he punched out, a sonic boom sounded.

The shock wave spread out but quickly dissipated.

Be it the effect or the momentum, it was more than ten times inferior to the Explosive Fist!

“Source Power Skill… Source Power Skill!”

At this moment, Lu Mingwu had an insight.

Compared to ordinary skills, this Source Power Skill was a proper dimensional reduction attack!
