Chapter 97: Light Kung Fu Breakthrough Guardianship

Chapter 97: Light Kung Fu Breakthrough Guardianship
After returning to the martial arts hall, Zhou You was full of energy. Seeing that Zuoyou couldn't sleep, he simply put on his coat and sat in front of the oil lamp.

He took out the charm bone wrapped in red cloth and examined it carefully under the light.

This is a hard object as thick as a finger bone, with a jade-like luster and is cool and hard to the touch.

"A treasure left behind after a demon possesses a living creature and kills it."

Zhou You couldn't help but think of the Void, which was also obtained from the death of a demon and had miraculous effects.

Captain Qu said that this thing would be very beneficial to physical fitness, so he decided to give it a try.

A hint of cold and sinister aura flashed across the fingertips, instantly reminding Zhou You that the evil nature of the charm was difficult to eliminate, and it would be dangerous to absorb it rashly.

That being the case...

"Talent: Hunger."

Zhou You opened his mouth and inhaled, and the charm bone melted and softened, turning into a strand of silk thread that sank into his body.

The evil aura remaining inside suddenly surged up and out, attempting to distort and influence Zhou You's mind and thinking.

This is the terrifying thing about ghosts. Even if they are completely destroyed, the things they leave behind will still be a huge hidden danger.

Evil spirits are difficult to eradicate completely. Even if they are suppressed, they will come back when they have the chance.

Unfortunately, I met Zhou You this time...

"Harmful substances detected, being removed, affecting absorption efficiency by -37%."

"Once successful, twice failed, three times successful..."

"Expel impurities, absorb essence, comprehensive evaluation, this absorption efficiency is 63%."

"Comprehensively evaluate the effects of materials, which can be used to improve basic Qinggong."

Zhou You decisively ordered, "Promote."

"Condition 1: The content of the Seven Steps of Chasing Souls is added, Condition 2: The digestion of substances is improved."

"Basic Light Kung Fu lv2→lv3."

"Skill Basic Light Kung Fu Iv3/lv5."

The effect was immediate and came out right away.

The content of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm was successfully transformed into a part of the basic light skill, raising its upper limit to level 5.

Zhou You absorbed the essence of the charm bone and transformed it into an improvement in basic lightness skills after many days of hard training, level 3.

What's even more difficult is that absorbing the charm bone has no side effects, and its efficiency is far higher than any other secret medicine method.

He suddenly realized that the importance of innate hunger was beyond his previous estimation.

With this improvement, his body movements jumped from the level of invincible strength to the level of qi and blood.

Captain Qu never dreamed that the charm bone he gave to Zhou You would be digested so quickly.

According to Zhou You's level of physical skills, it is comparable to the initial stage of Qi and Blood. Even if he encounters an enemy in the middle or even late stage of Qi and Blood, he can escape with his ease.

"Flower thief, hehe!"

This thief relied on his excellent martial arts skills to commit crimes everywhere and killed the ladies of wealthy families.

There are so many martial artists in the city who are helpless against him, the reason is... they can't find him or catch up with him!

Zhou You's martial arts skills have greatly improved now. If he meets the flower thief again, he will have a chance to fight for the flower bonus.

Starry night, the eighth martial arts training ground.

The sound of breaking air was endless, faint human figures shuttled in all directions, and the gravel on the ground rolled back and forth.

Zhou You was moving rapidly, trying out the power of his level 3 light skill.

The panel shows that by using the level 3 light skill, the speed instantly jumps from 65 to 80, increasing the speed three times the normal speed.

At first he was not used to it, and his vision went dark before he bumped into the wall, leaving his nose and face bruised.

It is conceivable that in a life-and-death struggle, if such an astonishing speed is unleashed, it is enough to turn defeat into victory.

There is another benefit to improving the level of Qinggong...

"Change direction!" Zhou You's back drew a long arc in the air. Just when it was about to slide down smoothly, it suddenly turned at a 90° angle. The speed slowed down slightly, but it still deflected to the side at a speed that could tear through the air.

The dancing posture is graceful and elegant, like a swallow playing through willow branches in early spring, but it conceals murderous intent.

The mystery of the trajectory and the magic of the changes are incredible even if you watch from a third-party perspective.

If you were there in person, you would be overwhelmed by it all with your naked eyes and would lose track of your travels.

Zhou You suddenly thought that the flower thief must have mastered this unique skill of lightness skill.

The hunt for the flower thief in the city has never stopped. At least four or five Qi and Blood masters surrounded him, but he still escaped.

Ordinary Qinggong cannot achieve this.

Zhou You also mastered the techniques of changing direction, and only then realized how great an advantage the level 3 light skill could bring in group battles.

"Hua Hong, I am also qualified to compete."

Nowadays, the martial arts circles in Gongliang City all believe that the qualification to compete for bonuses begins with the level of Qi and blood.

Because the overall strength of the Flower Thief is very difficult to deal with, only those with Qi and Blood level 5 or 6 or above are eligible to participate.

Yang Xi, who was a master of the Rock Fist, was at the third stage of Qi and Blood, and was an excellent player at the initial stage. After a few rounds of fighting, Yang Xi was able to get behind him and smash his head.

Originally Zhou You had little hope, but he had mastered level 3 Qinggong, qualifying to squeeze into the table of this feast.

Zhou You estimated that the situation in Gongliang City was turbulent and iron nets were being set up one after another to target the flower thieves.

So many senior executives are not fools. Although things may seem calm, they are actually laying many deadly traps.

"It's probably a sting operation!"

The flower thief is unscrupulous and commits crimes again and again. The only way to catch and kill him is to sit back and wait.

After all, beautiful women are a scarce resource, especially unmarried virgins of noble status.

As the number of victims increases, the potential target group begins to shrink.

"Well, the eldest daughter of the martial arts school, although she has a bad temper, she is in good condition and qualified to be a flower thief."

Zhou You thought of Wang Yan and nodded.

If you want to sit back and wait, this young lady is also a good target.

But this would put a lot of pressure on him as a guard.

Suddenly I thought of the owner of the restaurant, Wang Jianxiong, who had always allowed his daughter to go out and parade around town in a swaggering manner. Wasn't he using his daughter as bait?
If this is true, this old man is too cruel.

Zhou You shook his head. It was not his turn to worry about these things. It was best for him to just do his own thing.

Next, I have to escort Wang Yan into the martial arts hall, and I must speed up the progress of refining medicine in my free time.

Refining the Heart Protecting Pill and initially practicing the Great Poison Sand Palm, combined with the advantage of lightness skills, can at least increase the strength to the second or third level of Qi and Blood.

Although this strength cannot be exposed in the open, he can act secretly with the help of Lu Zhigang's identity.

He travels around during the day and works hard at night. He is able to get along well with locals and outsiders and has a lot of room for manipulation.

"Well, let's do it!"

the next day……

Zhou You and three other outer courtyard apprentices were called up early and waited in front of the hall.

The eldest daughter, Wang Yan, finally arrived an hour and a half later. She glanced at them briefly and left without saying anything.

"Miss, you're not taking the sedan chair today?"

"Why sit in a sedan? Am I that delicate?"

The eldest daughter is just willful. She refuses to go out in a sedan chair. What's the difference between this and showing up in public?
Originally Zhou You’s guess was only three points likely, but now it seems to have risen to six or seven points.

Today, Wang Yan visited a close friend who was famous for her family tradition of poetry and literature, and her ancestors were great scholars in the city.

This family has a strong scholarly atmosphere, and most of the scholars in the city are from this family.

Zhou You was just curious. The two people had different paths, just like the water from a well and the water from a lake. How did they become best friends?
