Chapter 8: Heartbeat

Anthony didn't notice the burning gaze of the middle-aged man behind him, he was immersed in his own world, dripping with joy.

Mighty Vajra Palm, just from the name, you can see the characteristics of this set of palms: power! Fierce! This battle also made Anthony feel the refreshment of fierce strength.

Anthony has only mastered this technique for a short time, and the number of times he has used it is only the one in the adult assessment. Although due to the 50% experience points given away by the system package, that is, proficiency, he has a considerable degree of familiarity with this set of palm techniques. However, there is still a slight difference between the proficiency of the forced loading of the system and the proficiency engraved in the body's instincts. At the very least, the feeling of exhilaration, which originates from the skin, muscles, and bones, is not comparable to mechanical cold numbers.

Anthony roared loudly, venting his long-suppressed emotions. Not only because there has been no chance to make a move, but also because of the unwillingness and humiliation of being limited by physical fitness for a long time, working hard but without an inch of progress.

In the battle of the assessment, Anthony has actually stayed behind. In terms of strength and skill, Anthony is a level above his opponents. On the premise of not wanting to kill the killer, Anthony naturally can't show all his strength to the fullest.

Now, in the face of the fierce demonic beasts, Anthony, who has no obstacles, can finally let go and go all out to fully present the power of the martial arts derived from the mysterious system in front of the world.

I saw his palms flying up and down, and everywhere he went, there were his golden palm shadows. The palms of his hands were shot straight, horizontally, and diagonally, and all kinds of martial arts moves came to his hands, and the essence of palm techniques was gradually integrated into his muscles, bones, and blood.

After a set of palm techniques were cast, and the momentum was settled, there were no more demonic beasts around Anthony that could still stand, only pieces and pieces of flesh and bones.

Arlina was also dumbfounded, but not because of his strength: "It's too violent, it's too cruel." ”

Unexpectedly, Anthony looks elegant and behaves elegantly, but his hands are so violent. For example, from which angle and in what way the demonic beast attacked him, they were all slapped with a hard palm. Hit the head and crack, touch the leg and break the leg. Then, the monster became a pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

This fighting style is very different from Yalina's, far from it, and it has never been liked by her. However, this time she rarely did not feel disgusted. Thinking of the machismo of the young man, he was quite naΓ―ve to shield her from the wind and rain, and there was still a trace of joy in his heart. Although, his strength is much stronger than that of the teenager, and he really doesn't need his "covering"

Well, this Anthony fights like he's still quite domineering and handsome.

Anthony is also happy in his heart, not for anything else, just because the progress bar has become 53%!

After a battle, it increased by 2 percentage points. As long as you stay in this Hengling for ten days and eight days, won't you soon be able to reach 100% and acquire the next skill?

After trying the power of the Mighty Palm, Anthony was full of curiosity and eagerness for the system's skills.

After cleaning the battlefield and collecting magic crystals, the group of three continued on the road. Under Anthony's unsparing blow, except for the magic crystal, those demonic beasts have not been able to leave anything complete and valuable.

Fortunately, Anthony is a nobleman, and although he is the lowest-ranking lord, he is not a lord who is short of money.

Not to mention the girl, the staff embedded with magic gems alone was already worth half of Anthony's net worth, and of course she wouldn't care about the fur of these low-level magical beasts.

Although it was in the dense jungle full of dangers, the group was still moving extremely fast. After walking for about 20 kilometers, the two finally stopped moving forward at the signal of the middle-aged man.

It has left the relatively safe outer area and entered the interior of Hengling. With the strength of two young men and women, if they move forward, there is a considerable probability that they will encounter powerful magical beasts that they are invincible.

Although Anthony is eager to fight, he has no interest in getting together to find abuse against opponents who are far stronger than him. Anyway, with a few more battles against the low-level monsters, he will soon accumulate enough experience points to impact the next skill.

Arlina doesn't care, she's just playing along.

So, the three of them turned a corner, searching all the way along the boundary between the outer and inner areas of Hengling.

……

The sun is setting in the west, and the silver moon is hanging in the sky.

Hengling at night is very quiet. From time to time, an unknown tired bird in the distance makes a low chirp, which does not make people feel noisy, but adds to the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Anthony and a middle-aged man built a campfire on a flat meadow and set up three small tents next to it. The three of them talked in a low voice as they ate the prepared food.

"I'll keep watch for the first half of the night tonight, and you keep watch for the second half of the night. How? This was the first time the man had spoken to Anthony, and it was the only one he had said today.

Anthony nodded and didn't speak.

As the only woman, Arina certainly has the privilege of not keeping vigil. Beauty sleep is an extremely important event for women. So she didn't refuse the kindness of the two men either.

After a light dinner, Anthony said goodnight to the two of them and went into his little tent.

He was already a little eager to take stock of today's harvest.

Of course, his so-called counting is not to take out the money bag and count the gold coins one by one, but only to communicate silently with the system in his mind. Although no one else can hear his mental conversation, on the surface, he is in a daze for a long time, and it is not suitable for conducting it in front of outsiders.

"System, I gained 8 percent proficiency today!" Anthony shouted "loudly" in his head.

"I know, I know, isn't it 8 percentage points, as for being so excited?" The system replied lazily.

Anthony calmed down and said, "If I follow this progress, it will take about 5 days, and I will be able to get the next skill." By the way, can you tell me in advance, what is the next skill? ”

The system says, "No." There is a certain immediacy in the acquisition of skills, and I can't be sure what the next skill will be. ”

Anthony said helplessly: "Okay, it's not bad these days anyway." Oh, this is the magic crystal you want, how to use it? ”

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and revealed a finger-sized cyan crystal. That's one of the rewards of Anthony killing a pack of Tempest Wolves.

The system was a little nervous and said, "It's very simple, you hold it in your hand, and you think about letting me absorb it, and that's it." ”

Sure enough, it was very simple, and Anthony did as he was told.

Then, the cyan magic crystal in his hand emitted a faint glow, and then slowly softened like ice cubes melting into water, and finally seeped into Anthony's palm, disappearing.

After a while, the system said excitedly: "Sure enough, as I expected, the energy contained in the magic crystals of these demonic beasts can really be absorbed by me." Now that you're fine, your cultivation speed in the future can be greatly accelerated. ”
