Chapter 2
Super Enhancement!
Soon after, Lu Xuan also arrived at the bedroom. Her bed was on the other side, separated by a strip of cloth.
But instead, she sat down on Lu Ze's bed and said, "Second Brother, I heard from Er Ya next door that many girls have to get married at thirteen, and many of the men they marry are ugly, some even old men. I don't want to get married. I want to practice martial arts. Er Ya said that only by practicing martial arts can I find my ideal husband according to my own heart. Can you help me?"
"Your second brother is still struggling to make ends meet; it would be very difficult for him to help you!"
Lu Ze smiled bitterly to himself, but he couldn't bear to let his sister know the truth, so he could only laugh and say, "Then your second brother will work hard in his cultivation. When your second brother becomes a martial arts expert, I will definitely let you practice martial arts and find you a suitable husband!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression brightened with joy, and she said, "Thank you, Second Brother!"
Immediately, she dashed back to her bed.
Lu Ze, on the other hand, began to think about the nine-form Black Tiger Body Forging Fist he had practiced that day, trying to deepen his memory of it.
His family's financial situation was not as good as others, so he had to put in more effort.
Just then, a notification sounded in his ear: "Host detected to be sixteen years of age or older. Super Enhancement System initiating binding!"
"Bind successful!"
Immediately, Lu Ze found that a virtual attribute panel had appeared in front of him.
[Host]: Lu Ze
[Source Point]: 0
Lifespan: 16/69
[Talent]: Inferior Wood Spirit Root
[Realm]: None
[Technique]: Black Tiger Body Forging Fist • Incomplete (Beginner 14%)
[Spell]: None
[Martial Arts Skills]: None
Okay, okay, okay, my cheat code has finally appeared!
Lu Ze was overjoyed!
He then began to carefully examine the panel of the super enhancement system, trying to understand its functions.
At this moment, a message popped into my mind: the Super Enhancement System can continuously enhance all items, including cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, spells, talents, elixirs, weapons, talismans, and magical artifacts!
Upgrading requires consuming Source Points.
Source points can be obtained by killing monsters.
After learning about the functions of the Super Enhancement System, Lu Ze smiled with satisfaction.
Although this system cannot directly add points to improve cultivation strength, it can greatly improve cultivation efficiency by strengthening pills and medicinal materials!
If there are enough source points, it is not impossible to enhance the Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood, and even the Queen Mother's Peaches and Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!
In addition to source point enhancement, this attribute panel is also a great cheat!
Based on his speculation, the attribute panel should have the function of being permanently certified and never regressing, which would be of great help to his cultivation of martial arts techniques.
Then, Lu Ze examined the old wooden bed in front of him, and an attribute panel appeared before him.
Name: Old wooden bed
Quality: Low-grade Mortal
Enhancement: Requires at least 1 Source Points
Then, he looked at the bedding, clothes, and other items, all of which were of low-grade mortal quality and would require at least 1 source point to enhance.
Unfortunately, he'll have a hard time getting his hands on the source points for now. He hasn't even mastered the basics of martial arts yet; going to kill monsters would only be suicide!
We have to find another way!
The next morning, the sun rose.
After eating breakfast, Lu Ze asked his father, Lu Cheng, to buy a live chicken so he could cook it himself.
The reason given was to see blood and test one's courage. In reality, it was to see if there was a source for killing chickens.
Lu Cheng didn't believe Lu Ze's flimsy excuse, guessing that his son was tired from practicing martial arts and wanted to eat a chicken to replenish his energy. Therefore, he didn't expose him.
Fifteen minutes later, at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, in the outer courtyard.
Lu Ze began practicing the Nine Forms of Black Tiger Body Forging Fist with his apprentices.
An hour later, Lu Ze was drenched in sweat and stopped practicing.
This kind of body-strengthening boxing method is extremely taxing on physical strength and energy. His body is still relatively weak, so he cannot practice it for too long.
At this moment, he checked the attribute panel and found that Black Tiger Body Forging Fist • Residual (Beginner 18%) had increased by 4%.
Not bad!
At this rate, if one cultivates for four hours a day, one can increase proficiency by 16% per day, and the technique can be advanced to the next level in just five days.
However, martial arts training is too taxing.
He had only cultivated for an hour when he felt his vital energy was exhausted and his stomach was rumbling.
Continuing to train will only deplete your body, making you weaker and weaker!
Therefore, Lu Ze stopped practicing, left the martial arts school, went outside and ate six large white steamed buns to replenish his energy and water before returning to continue practicing.
At noon, the sun was blazing.
Lu Ze stopped practicing, and his proficiency in the Black Tiger Body Forging Fist improved to 22% of the beginner level.
At this time, he and his apprentices went to the dining hall for lunch.
Black Tiger Martial Arts School only provides one lunch, and you have to pay an additional 1 tael for the meal.
However, the food at Black Tiger Martial Arts School's canteen was not bad. You could add rice as much as you wanted. The dishes weren't great, but there was some fatty meat, so at least you could have some meat.
Lu Ze had expended a lot of energy practicing martial arts today, and his appetite had increased significantly.
After finishing their meal and resting for about half an hour, the apprentices continued their training, showing no sign of yielding to the scorching sun.
Train until you drop dead!
I paid a full ten taels of silver for tuition, not to go on vacation, but to strive for a better future!
By evening, Lu Ze's proficiency in the Black Tiger Body Forging Fist had increased to 30% of the beginner level.
In just one day, the increase in proficiency has surpassed the efforts of the past two weeks!
The attribute panel is much more powerful than he estimated!
A little over fifteen minutes later, Lu Ze returned home and slaughtered the chicken that his father, Lu Cheng, had bought.
Unfortunately, no experience points were gained.
It seems the chicken is too small; the system doesn't recognize it.
He planned to try slaughtering pigs and cows to see if he could obtain the source point.
But right now, the most important thing is to practice martial arts first, and then we can talk about that after breaking through to the first level of the Body Tempering Realm and becoming a formal disciple of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.
At that time, it wouldn't have been difficult for him, given his status, to obtain the opportunity to slaughter pigs and cattle.
However, the chicken wasn't a waste of money; it was made into a large bowl of braised chicken, half of which ended up in his stomach.
That evening, Lu Ze practiced for an extra hour and a half, raising his proficiency in the Black Tiger Body Forging Fist to 35% of the beginner level.
……
Four days later, at dusk, at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, in the outer courtyard.
Lu Ze slowly finished his practice and checked his attribute panel: Black Tiger Body Tempering Fist • Incomplete (Proficiency 29%).
He improved his Black Tiger Body Forging Fist from the beginner level to the proficient level, his physique strengthened considerably, his body forging efficiency increased significantly, and his appetite also increased.
not bad!
He will definitely be able to break through to the first level of the Body Tempering Realm in less than three months.
Then, Lu Ze prepared to go back, but found Zhuo Yunfei walking over.
Zhuo Yunfei smiled and said, "Lu Ze, I've seen your progress recently. Your Black Tiger Body Tempering Fist has reached a high level, and you have a good chance of breaking through to the first level of the Body Tempering Realm within three months! But the faster you improve, the more energy you consume. Starting tomorrow morning, you can have a bowl of Body Strengthening Soup every day. Don't worry, it's free; it's a reward from the martial arts school for outstanding students!"
The Body Strengthening Soup is a secret recipe that greatly replenishes vital energy and can improve the efficiency of physical training. Each bowl costs 1 qian of silver and is generally only affordable for wealthy young men.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhuo!"
Not long after, Lu Ze left the Black Tiger Martial Arts School and returned home.
