Chapter 136: The Final Moments
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
The Great Source Power Skill Training Cycle significantly boosted Lu Ming’s Explosive Fist training speed.
The cycle was set at fifteen minutes five minutes of empty strikes to deplete superpower, followed by ten minutes to replenish superpower.
In one cycle, the proficiency of the Explosive Fist could increase by loo to 120 points!
Four cycles in an hour would result in an increase of 400 to 480 proficiency points!
The increase in proficiency for Hand-to hand combat was even more remarkable!
From the looks of it, the progress bar of 1,000 proficiency points for the Explosive Fist was not that difficult to obtain.
A full hour passed.
The proficiency of the Explosive Fist had reached (mastery) (500/1,000).
The increase in proficiency for Hand-to-hand combat was even more shocking!
From Lv33 (2400/3300), it directly rose to Lv36 (500/3600)!
This was simply double the joy!
No, it was triple the joy.
And there was also the Basic Breathing Technique (Entry) (6/100).
Although the advancement of the Basic Breathing Technique might not increase Lu Ming’s attributes, having the skill in place and seeing the growth of proficiency was undoubtedly a good thing.
Up until this moment, Lu Ming finally felt tired…
This time, it was not the exhaustion from depleting his superpower, but rather a triple fatigue of his stamina, superpower, and mental strength.
The Explosive Fist did consume a lot of stamina, and after an hour, Lu Ming was a little tired.
The speed at which one consumed one’s mental strength when fully focused was also frightening.
It was time for Lu Ming to take a break.
After some thought, Lu Ming decided to end today’s training.
Afterward, Huo Sheng, Bai Tianyu and others continued chatting, but Lu Ming did not pay much attention.
Anyway, when Lu Ming was going home, he saw that the lights were still on in the small dining hall, they were still chatting…
Lu Ming did not want to listen anymore. He went back home, washed up, ate, and prepared to rest.
It was a good night of sweet dreams.
The next day.
Bay 134 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Sunday.
Early in the morning, Lu Ming went to the dining hall to have breakfast.
He realized that the table was filled with food.
There was not much exotic beast meat, probably enough to satisfy half of Lu Ming’s appetite. The rest was ordinary food.
Seeing this, Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded at Chengcheng.
“You did well.”
Yesterday, Bai Tianyu mentioned that after entering the Black Mist Zone, ordinary food would rapidly decay, leaving only rhe exotic beast meat preserved.
This meant that if they did not finish the ordinary food in this last period of time, it would cause a huge waste.
Waste was actually not the main issue.
The main point was that the exotic beast meat had already become a strategic resource. Keeping some to bring into the Black Mist Zone was the best option.
Zhang Chengcheng smiled and said, “Brother Lu, you can have some too, don’t waste your time.”
Lu Ming nodded without hesitation.
The meal took longer than before.
But overall, it was still within Lu Ming’s acceptable range.
After breakfast, Lu Ming did some simple warm-up exercises and then started his daily routine of training.
Although cultivating Source Power Skills provided more attributes, Lu Ming still understood the principle of reaping long-term benefits with perseverance.
Therefore, the routine exercises in the morning would definitely not change!
Around ten o’clock in the morning, Lu Ming finished his regular exercises. After a short break, he prepared to practice his Explosive Fist before taking an afternoon nap.
However, he saw more than a dozen military vehicles leaving Good Hope Village and heading into the distance.
Bai Tianyu and Duan Mei were leading the way.
Lu Ming asked curiously, “Where are they going again?11
Wang Xiong said in a deep voice, “They are going to enter the Black Mist Zone.”
“Last night, Huo Sheng made a decision to build a new base in the ruins of the ancient city that Colonel Bai mentioned. They are the vanguard! ”
After saying that, Wang Xiong pondered for a moment and sighed, “Once they leave this time, they won’t be coming back.”
Lu Ming nodded in understanding.
Time was running out.
In all likelihood, they only had about half a month left before the Black Mist covered the entire Nanxiang area.
When that happened, a large number of survivors would enter the Black Mist Zone, and the initial period would undoubtedly be chaotic and disorderly.
To prevent potential large-scale casualties, the Black Mist Exploration Team was mobilized once again, this time to establish a safe zone within the Black Mist Zone.
This admirable act filled Lu Ming with deep respect.
As he watched Bai Tianyu and the others move further away, Lu Ming said in a solemn tone, “I will ensure the safety here.”
At noon that day, before his nap.
The Explosive Fist leveled up again!
Explosive Fist (Novice) (1/10000): World Realm Source Power Skill. After mastering it, it significantly enhances the punching power. You have mastered the use of Explosive Fist, and your overall attributes +300! Your free attribute points +300!
Since last night.
Explosive Fist had gone through three stages: Entry, Mastery, and Proficiency.
The proficiency requirement increased from 100 to 1,000, and then to the current 10,000.
Attribute point gains increased from +30, to +70, to +200!
The Proficient level Explosive Fist provided Lu Ming with a whopping 300 attribute points! There were even 300 free attribute points!
This kind of progress was simply terrifying!
in addition, Lu Ming’s Hand-to-hand combat skill had also reached Level 41 (500/4100).
Therefore, in just a day, Lu Ming’s attributes changed significantly to:
Strength: 1208.3
Physique: 1219.1
Agility: 1204.2
Free Attribute Points: 396
It was as if an endless and boundless power was surging in his body.
With a height of 2.6 meters, Lu Ming stood on the ground like a small mountain.
His strong body stretched the specially made clothes tightly, outlining the bulging muscles on his body.
Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan, who were watching from afar, felt that Lu Ming did not look like a living person at this moment , but rather like a sculpture created by a master craftsman!
He clenched his fist and threw another explosive punch.
The booming sound erupted from his fist, and the punch’s force traveled far before shattering with a loud bang.
Satisfied with the power of this punch, Lan Ming nodded.
“The increase in skill level is not just about adding attributes for me.”
“The higher the skill level, the stronger the power/
Between the Entry Level Explosive Fist, the Mastery Level Explosive Fist, and the Proficiency Level Explosive Fist, there was a difference in power.
If one were to estimate based on rhe data,
the difference in power between each level was about 50%- this already excluded the interference of attribute increases.
“From today onwards, the Explosive Fist will replace the Cold Light Stab Punch and Sword Qi and become my strongest trump card.”
“Therefore, I need to keep practicing!”
Not just for the attributes.
But also to strengthen the lethality of the killer move.
Currently, the power of the proficient level Explosive Fist was already shocking enough. Lu Ming was interested in studying rhe changes of a higher level Explosive Fist.
All in all…
Since last night, Lu Ming’s training strategy underwent another change.
Basic skills?
I’m not practicing anymore!
IPho would need those outdated things when you have Source Power Skill?
Moreover, cultivating Source Power Skill was also a way to cultivate basic skills.
Therefore, there was no more climbing the tower to shoot zombies, no more saber techniques, sword techniques, or stances.
Lu Ming’s future daily schedule will consist of two things.
Basic exercises and Explosive Fist!
