“Hunger? But didn’t I just finish my meal?”
Xu Mu was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly realized.
It is very likely that the system was extracting the abilities from his body to enhance his physical fitness, in order to adapt to the use of Thunderbolt Sword Skill.
“It seems like I guessed right, the body-enhancing swordsmanship can indeed indirectly strengthen the body, but I have to pay the cost of this enhancement myself!”
Although it had some flaws, Xu Mu was already quite satisfied.
He took out the Fasting Pill that he had snatched from Sun Daocheng, checked it, and took one.
“Let’s try again!”
Click Add Point!
[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +10]!
The Fasting Pill, which had just entered his stomach, was digested in an instant.
The feeling of hunger was much stronger than before.
“It seems that the energy contained in the Fasting Pill is indeed much worse than that of monster beast meat and Spirit Rice!”
“Fortunately, compared to Spirit Rice and monster beast meat, it’s more convenient to take Fasting Pills!”
This time, Xu Mu directly took two pills.
[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +10]!
This time, in addition to a faint hunger, there was also a strange sensation of tightening muscles all over his body.
He took off his shirt for inspection.
His body was thin and there were no muscle lines as he had imagined.
“Is the improvement too small, or is it just my imagination!”
He took another Fasting Pill.
[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +10]!
When he looked down again, it seemed that there was indeed a slight change.
He gently waved his arm and could feel a fullness and power.
“There’s an improvement! But it’s not much!”
He ate all the remaining Fasting Pills.
[Thunderbolt Sword Skill +20]!
Buzz!
This time there was finally a big change. Xu Mu saw his muscles moving slightly all over his body, like small mice.
When everything calmed down, he could see faint muscle lines.
At a glance, he was no longer thin and seemed a bit tough.
He got back up and held a flame longsword condensed in his hand. Xu Mu wielded the sword, creating a gusty wind as though he had been practicing for several months. His breath was coordinated with the sword technique, looking orderly.
“Good, with my current skills, even without using spiritual power and skills, I can easily beat five or six ordinary people.”
Paying a bottle of Fasting Pills and a meal in exchange for a strong body, Xu Mu was very satisfied with this result.
It was a pity that the room was too small, so it was impossible to test the effect of the enhanced Light Body Skill.
And—
“I’m hungry again!”
Since he had no more Fasting Pill, Xu Mu had to return to the kitchen and eat all the remaining food, only to be half full.
“Practicing swordsmanship consumes so much food!”
“This is just the initial stage of body training. When it comes to skin, tendons, internal organs, bone marrow, and blood in the later stages, the consumption may be even greater!”
This is the realm recorded in the Thunderbolt Sword Skill, which can be reached by continuous training, achieving a completely coordinated body strength, and able to unleash the full power of the sword skill with a random movement.
If the body cannot keep up, rash use of sword skills will not only fail to hurt others, but also hurt oneself.
“Another big spender!”
Xu Mu sighed in his heart.
However, in order to save his life, everything is worth it.
The fear is that even if you have money, you cannot enhance your strength.
The current Thunderbolt Sword Skill is at the beginner level; 60/100, still lacking forty points to advance to a proficient level.
The remaining Luck Value is 3,495 points.
For the next half a month, Xu Mu devoted himself to alchemy at home.
His Fire-controlling Skill has been incrementally increased by five hundred, it is now at the level of a Grandmaster; 1051/3200, the attack power and control power have been further increased.
When the food at home was almost eaten and all the medicinal materials for the fifteen Qi Gathering Pills were used up, he had no choice but to step out of the house.
“Stay at home until I come back, and remember what I told you!”
“Hmm!”
Ye Yingying was holding a child, she nodded heavily, then Xu Mu walked out of the house with peace of mind.
As Xu Mu walked out of the alley, two pairs of eyes stared at him through the crack of the door for a long time.
Less than a moment after leaving the alley, he arrived at the place where he had ambushed Sun Daocheng half a month ago. Xu Mu unconsciously slowed down his pace and subtly observed.
The large pit on the ground had been filled up, and the cracks on the walls on both sides had been simply repaired. If you don’t take a closer look, you won’t notice.
As for Sun Daocheng’s body, it had disappeared. Xu Mu wondered if it had been taken away by the city’s patrol team.
Seeing all this, Xu Mu took a sigh of relief.
The death of Sun Daocheng didn’t attract the attention of the city administrators, which is the best outcome.
However, after rejoicing, Xu Mu started to worry again.
Sun Daocheng was able to be killed by him so unclearly, could he also be killed by others this inexplicably one day?
The shanty area is not safe!
We need to strengthen our power as much as possible, and the house also needs to be reinforced. A few Seal Restriction Talismans are far from enough, it would be best if we could buy a set of formations.
Of course, Xu Mu’s greatest wish is to move to live in the city center.
