Zhang Beixing thought for a moment, then tapped the plus sign next to it.
In an instant, his 61.9 Ability Points plummeted to 58.9.
His +20 Yue Family’s Great Achievement Fist also turned into +21 at that moment.
Zhang Beixing was somewhat surprised as he felt an awkward sensation stream from every part of his body.
He clearly hadn’t expected this. Even though he had practiced the Yue Family Fist to Great Accomplishment, enhancing the technique through the System still elicited this sensation! This is very strange.
Motivated by curiosity, Zhang Beixing followed this awkward sensation and began to practice his punches. He discovered that after completing one set of the Yue Family Fist, it had become even more ferocious!
Recognizing this, Zhang Beixing carefully recalled his recent practice. Before long, he identified the reason his punches had become so ferocious: Hidden Force!
Previously, he could employ Hidden Force while executing the Yue Family Fist, but its integration was crude. This meant that while he could unleash the power of the Hidden Force, it wasn’t fully utilized. Now, however, after enhancing the Yue Family Fist and deepening his understanding, the Hidden Force he could demonstrate in his punches had grown significantly stronger!
So that’s how it is. I had been wondering how, even when I put forth all my effort without holding anything back, two of those seventeen human traffickers still survived, albeit heavily injured and unconscious. It turns out I hadn’t fully harnessed the Hidden Force. What a pity I’ve only just realized this. If I had added a point to the Yue Family Fist before fighting those traffickers, not a single one of them would have survived!
Thinking of the two traffickers who had fortuitously survived, Zhang Beixing couldn’t help feeling some regret. He had missed this opportunity to boost his KDA, and who knew when the next one would come.
Never mind, I’ll just continue my martial arts training! The Yue Family Fist at +21 has already given me such profound understanding. What would happen if I enhance it to +30? Wouldn’t one punch turn a person’s innards into stew!
With these thoughts, Zhang Beixing began to allocate points to his skills and resumed his training.
While he was training, Chen Rourou learned that Zhang Beixing was practicing martial arts in the woods and decided to join him.
Her initial intention was to use this opportunity to observe Zhang Beixing performing the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade, hoping to deepen her own comprehension. However, to her surprise, after watching him for a long time, she realized he was only practicing the Yue Family Fist.
This left her somewhat disappointed, so she moved to the side and started practicing on her own.
After practicing about two sets, Chen Rourou was out of breath and drenched in sweat.
She checked the time and saw it was already two or three in the afternoon. She planned to say goodbye to Zhang Beixing before leaving.
Just then, her phone rang crisply. RING RING—
Chen Rourou took it out and saw it was a call from her grandfather, Chen Hongguo.
Chen Rourou was somewhat puzzled. She walked to the side and answered Elder Chen’s call.
She heard Elder Chen’s resonant and sonorous voice from the phone, "Rourou, what are you up to?"
"Practicing martial arts, Grandpa. What’s the matter?" Chen Rourou asked, somewhat confused, as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Haha, nothing much. Your grandpa was just thinking about our Chen Family’s prodigy and growing fonder by the minute. I was wondering if you’re busy. If not, how about coming back? You could keep this old man company for a chat, a heart-to-heart. How does that sound?"
Listening to Elder Chen’s benevolent voice over the phone, Chen Rourou couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.
As Elder Chen’s granddaughter, she had inherited his principle: one doesn’t visit without a reason. So, faced with Elder Chen’s sudden call, Chen Rourou instinctively sensed something was amiss.
A chat? A heart-to-heart? Didn’t I just talk with Grandpa yesterday? Why does he want to talk again today? Even if I am his favorite granddaughter, this frequency is a bit too much. Not to mention, I just received ’enlightenment’ from him yesterday. By all rights, he should let me go back and digest it for three or four days. But now, it’s only been one night... Something’s not right. Something is very, very wrong! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⟡fire.net
Could it be that Zhang Beixing’s situation has been exposed?
Thinking of the Douyin video Zhang Beixing had posted, which had gone viral, Chen Rourou felt it was quite possible.
Although her grandfather seldom browsed Douyin or used the internet, other members of the Chen Family did! If they saw it and mentioned it to Elder Chen, he would definitely find out.
Chen Rourou thought, her brows tightly knitted.
With such a big incident, if I go back alone, I definitely won’t be able to smooth things over. But if I don’t go back, Grandpa will realize something’s up when I don’t return after the call. He’ll naturally figure out what’s happening, and the matter will be exposed anyway. I need to find a compromise!
As Chen Rourou thought this, her mind racing, Zhang Beixing, who was nearby, finished a set of the Yue Family Fist. He dispelled his Hidden Force and exhaled, his body steaming with sweat.
Seeing him, Chen Rourou was startled at first, then a sudden bright light flashed in her eyes!
