Chapter Twenty-Seven: Upgrading Physical Skills
After unlocking Gangliluo, Du Mu still had 12 Nightmare Energy left in his hand.
"There is nothing left to unlock in sword skills, and swordsmanship and Bailuo breathing techniques cannot meet the upgrade conditions, and the only thing left is physical skills and hand-to-hand combat. ”
After thinking for a while, Du Mu clicked on the 'physical technique' option and decided to upgrade hand-to-hand combat to physical art.
Originally, he had accumulated so much nightmare energy just to upgrade the Bailuo Breathing Method or swordsmanship to the proficient level, but he didn't expect the computer to come out like this, which suddenly disrupted his plan.
"It's not good to let the nightmare energy dry up, it's better to transform it into combat power as soon as possible. ”
Hand-to-hand combat (entry) to upgrade to physical art (entry) only requires 2 nightmare energy, and Du Mu directly chose to upgrade without blinking.
With the change of the words on the skill bar, Du Mu felt that the information about hand-to-hand combat in his mind seemed to have become different, as if he had deepened and expanded a lot of knowledge on the basis of the original.
He has the feeling that if hand-to-hand combat is a martial art move, then physical skills are the same as the general outline.
"No wonder the word 'upgrade' is used. ”
Du Mu showed a thoughtful look, continued to look at the computer, and clicked on the physical technique.
'Physical Technique (Starter), which can be upgraded, consumes 5 Nightmare Energy. ’
It's only 5 o'clock!
Du Mu waved his hand and upgraded without hesitation.
In the depths of my mind, there were a lot more cultivation experiences and perceptions related to physical arts, as if I had been cultivating for many years.
Du Mu closed his eyes, as if he was realizing and as if he was intoxicated.
Every moment after the skill upgrade, the exhilaration of the increased strength fascinated him deeply.
It took him a few minutes before he came to his senses, slammed his mouth, and continued browsing.
'Body (Control), which can be upgraded, consumes 20 Nightmare Energy. ’
Like the swordsmanship and Bailuo breathing method, the need for control-level swordsmanship to be upgraded has increased by 3 times at once, but Du Mu only has 5 nightmare energy left, which is still a lot short.
What's more, most physical upgrades also have certain requirements for physical fitness.
"By the way, now that you've upgraded your physical skills, you can also turn on the 'physical arts' option?"
Du Mu suddenly patted his forehead, and hurriedly went to the skill unlocking interface and clicked on the 'Physical Technique' option.
This time, there was no more text such as a prompt, and the screen went directly to the list of physical arts, but to Du Mu's disappointment, there were only a large number of question marks on the list.
Apparently he didn't meet the unlocking conditions for any of his physical skills!
"Forget it, you can't chew too much, Gang Li Luo and the mastery-level physical skills are enough for me to be familiar with for a long time, so concentrate on familiarizing myself with these two skills first!"
His personal status has now changed to the following:
Name: Du Mu
Power: F+
Agility: F+
Constitution: F+
Perception: E
Will: E-
Skills: Swordsmanship (control), Bailuo breathing method (control), body art (control)
Sword Skills: Snake Eater, Reverse Wheel, Rigid Luo (Beginner)
Physical Surgery: None
Nightmare Energy: 5
Power Rating: E-
Closing the computer, Du Mu turned to look at the portrait of the girl on the wall.
Since the last time he inadvertently improved the level of will by observing the portrait, Du Mu has been obsessed with the portrait and has paid more and more attention to it, and every night when he enters the dream, he has to look at the girl in the painting to exercise his will.
His current record is 22 seconds, which is a full 4 seconds higher than after the previous will breakout, which is a big improvement.
"Unfortunately, we haven't found a concrete way to improve our perception. ”
"But it seems that the battle has a bit of an effect on the perception improvement?" Du Mu touched his chin and muttered.
After countless battles with the Faceless, he found that his ability to sense danger seemed to improve a little, and sometimes he was vaguely aware of the Faceless's arrival before the footsteps of the Faceless could be heard.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, anyway, as long as you continue to explore the dream realm, sooner or later you will find the corresponding way to upgrade!"
"Next, continue hunting the Faceless!"
After taking the black sword, Du Mu walked out of the bedroom, through the living room and the entrance, and soon arrived on the street.
I don't know if it's because the time of entering the dream is late at night, the streets outside have always been in a state of dead of night, the night sky is high on the crescent, and the gray moonlight seems to put a layer of gloomy gauze on the street.
Du Mu walked cautiously down the street.
There was a faint mist all around, and occasionally there were bursts of light footsteps, and soon a faceless man broke through the fog and struck with a sword.
So far, there have been no less than 70 faceless people who have died under Du Mu's hands, and they have different clothes and postures in addition to their faces and facial features.
Or the office workers in suits and ties, who seem to be everywhere, or the ordinary young people in casual T-shirts, or the elderly posture with a rickety body and gray hair and drooping old age, or the dress of a female high school student in a school uniform and short skirt, and so on.
It felt like the Faceless were all residents of this street in the first place.
This speculation made Du Mu's heart chill slightly.
What made him even more strange was that every night he hunted the Faceless in the same section, killing more or less, an average of four to five, but the number of Faceless Beings in the vicinity did not change, neither decreased nor increased, which was very strange.
Du Mu once speculated that the number of faceless people that could appear on this street at the same time may have been limited, and the rest were probably hidden in the buildings on both sides of the street.
It's a pity that he has not found a basis to confirm this speculation.
He tried to enter the houses on both sides of the street, but as soon as he got close to the building, he was pushed back by a gentle force, and the street of Nuoda was inaccessible except for the apartment building that had come out at the beginning.
......
Laugh at!
With the black sword light flashing like thunder, a faceless man dressed in home clothes and dressed as a housewife suddenly had a sword tip in his heart, and his body trembled violently, and he collapsed to the ground limply.
"The fourth!"
Stepping on the corpse of the faceless man on the soles of his feet, Du Mu pulled out the blade of his sword with a slight force on his arm, silently watching as the corpse turned into particles of light and dissipated, revealing the empty ground beneath it.
"Don't you have a coin......"
Du Mu sighed lightly, looked up and looked ahead, and there was a capsule toy machine not far away.
He walked over quickly, pulled out the only coin on his body, and expertly pressed it into the coin hole in exchange for a light green gacha.
I thought it was the usual props, but I didn't expect that after the light particles materialized, there were new items that I had never seen before.
A round white plastic box the size of a bottle cap.
'Combat Effectiveness Detector: Corneal contact type, which can detect the combat effectiveness of the target after wearing. ’
"Combat effectiveness...... Probe?"
Du Mu opened the box suspiciously, there was an unknown transparent liquid inside, and there was a convex translucent disc lying quietly in the center of the liquid, the disc was very easy to mix with the liquid, if it weren't for Du Mu's sharp eyes, he really couldn't find it.
"How do I wear this?"
Carefully pinching out the disc from the box, Du Mu put it in front of his eyes and was about to take a closer look, but the disc seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and it actually swooped into his left eye.
“!!”
Du Mu was startled, and as soon as he raised his head, a large amount of data suddenly appeared on the left side of his field of vision, like a waterfall constantly brushing by.
"What's going on?"
In the midst of his confusion, all the data suddenly disappeared, followed by another line of text.
'Combat Strength: 26'
