Bang!!
Inside the Dream World, outside a new Single-Story Villa.
Five Faceless Ones appeared one after another and quickly engaged Chen Feng in battle.
Buzzz!
He threw a punch with unstoppable force.
Chen Feng happened to need some targets to vent his negative emotions on.
With a muffled blast, one Faceless One was struck in the head and sent flying backward.
Whoosh!
However, the remaining four had not the slightest emotion or feeling.
Ignoring their companion's death, they punched, kicked, grabbed at his waist, and rammed into him, quickly surrounding Chen Feng.
"Exploding Fist!"
His face cold, Chen Feng suddenly charged forward and threw a punch.
In an instant, the air howled, as though a vacuum had briefly formed.
Bang!
The struck Faceless One flew backward, its head caved in as it crashed into one of its companions.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
Rapid footsteps rang out as whistling wind came from behind and both sides.
Chen Feng knew it was the remaining two. He immediately planted his left foot and spun around.
Whoosh!
His whip kick traced an arc through the air and struck a Faceless One squarely in the head.
With a crack, the sound of splitting bone echoed out.
Without even looking at the opponent flying away, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, withdrew his fist, and drove his elbow backward.
Bang!
The last Faceless One trying to ambush him was struck in a vital spot and soon fell silent as well.
"Huff!"
The battle over, Chen Feng stood where he was and let out a breath.
For some reason, his mood had improved considerably. Looking again at the Faceless Ones sprawled on the ground—
he suddenly felt that they were far more pleasing to the eye than certain people in reality.
Whoosh, whoosh!
His figure flashed backward.
He dodged the surprise attack of five black streaks.
A sizzling sound rose from where he had stood as foul-smelling gray smoke curled upward.
Taking a closer look, he saw a large pool of Black Water rapidly evaporating, leaving behind only struggling, screeching insect ants and rotting pits.
Chen Feng had long grown used to this and was no longer surprised.
In comparison, the rapidly fading corpses of the Faceless Ones concerned him more.
"This time, the Faceless Ones feel a little stronger again."
As he watched Gray Light Orbs slowly appear, a glimmer flashed through Chen Feng's eyes.
Five people attacking together, nearly Amateur Fourth Dan.
This is what he had felt just now.
And this was also a trial he would inevitably face whenever he explored a new area.
Shaking his head, Chen Feng did not dwell on it.
He stepped closer from both sides and quickly collected the five Gray Light Orbs.
You have obtained five Talent Light Orbs: Perception! Perception +5! Talent: Perception lv1 (71/100)
The panel prompt appeared automatically, and Chen Feng could not help raising an eyebrow.
Without realizing it, his Perception Talent had already reached this level.
Based on his experience, once he explored a new area next time and killed six Faceless Ones, he would probably be able to raise his Perception Talent to lv2.
"Not bad."
Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction. Without wasting any more time, he quickly walked over, pushed open the iron gate, and entered the new Single-Story Villa before him.
The green trees in the front yard had long withered. Half the ground was mud, while the other half was hardened ground paved with gray bricks.
The house's overall exterior leaned toward dark tones. Chen Feng soon pushed open the dark brown wooden door.
Buzzz!
As the wind from the opening door sounded, Chen Feng's gaze shifted, and he immediately spotted what he had been looking for in the living room.
Four Light Orbs, three red and one white.
His eyes brightening, Chen Feng quickly stepped forward and raised a hand to touch the four Light Orbs.
You picked up three Limit Breaking Light Orbs! Limit Breaking Light Orb: Residual will of a Martial Artist Quality: Basic Effect: Can increase Martial Dao skill proficiency to a certain extent You picked up one Attribute Light Orb! Attribute Light Orb: Residual spirituality of a Supernatural Quality: Basic Effect: After use, increases Four-Dimensional Attributes by 0.5 points, with random distribution
After looking over his gains, Chen Feng summoned the panel, his gaze lingering on the "+" behind Judo Beginner.
Judo: Proficient (10%)+
"One Limit Break can only increase Proficient-level proficiency by around 20%."
"Even if I use all three Limit Breaks, I still can't raise Judo to the Mastery level."
As the thought crossed his mind, Chen Feng also checked the progress of Exploding Fist.
Exploding Fist: Beginner (11%)+
Shaking his head again, he temporarily gave up on adding points to those two skills.
The reason was simple. Tomorrow, he was going to the Core Class at the Martial Arts Hall.
Based on Coach Lu's private reminder, Chen Feng knew that he would come into contact with some foundational inheritances of Martial Dao Schools there.
Therefore, since neither Judo nor Exploding Fist could break through for the time being and strengthen him—
he might as well save the Limit Breaks for now and see what happened tomorrow.
If he really came into contact with the foundational inheritance of a Martial Dao School, perhaps he could directly add points to reach Beginner level.
Having made up his mind, Chen Feng's thoughts were clear as he quickly turned his attention to the Attribute Light Orb.
Without hesitation, he silently thought:
"Add points!"
Strength: 9.9 Agility: 9.3 → 9.5 Constitution: 9.6 → 9.8 Willpower: 10.0 → 10.1
"This time, no points went to Strength?"
A flicker passed through Chen Feng's eyes, and he felt somewhat regretful.
He felt that if he could raise his Strength by one more point, he should reach the level of Amateur Ninth Dan.
Still, he was not too disappointed. Something was better than nothing, and any improvement was a good thing.
With that thought, Chen Feng quickly calmed down and continued searching through the Dream World.
Perhaps his luck was ordinary, as he Could Not sense the presence of any more Light Orbs.
However, a new Diary caught his attention.
Alliance Calendar Year 245, December 6.
This winter was colder than any before it. The Black Calamity had cut off every road leading to the wilderness.
The High Wall had been corroded and rotted away. Dawn was fading, and the Enforcement Team could not hold out much longer.
I wondered whether we could still survive.
Alliance Calendar Year 246, January 19.
We survived the harsh winter, but the city's defensive perimeter had shrunk again.
Food had run out, and the roads were blocked.
Support from the other cities had yet to arrive. Perhaps they had encountered the Black Calamity as well.
Alliance Calendar Year 246, March 5.
In the darkness, I finally heard some news that barely counted as good.
At the very front line of the defensive perimeter, a newcomer in the Enforcement Team had somehow undergone a talent mutation and summoned the heroic spirit of an ancestor.
Perhaps he would become our hope of survival?
The Diary ended there, the handwriting messy and rushed.
Yet Chen Feng's intuition told him that it had been left behind by a man.
Because throughout this villa, he had only seen men's clothes and shoes.
"Alliance Calendar Year 246?"
"The previous Alliance General History said that the High Wall Alliance was founded 240 years ago. That means the history book was probably written in Alliance Calendar Year 240."
"It also mentioned that the Abyss and Black Calamity appeared thirty years earlier. That means the Black Calamity first appeared in Alliance Calendar Year 210."
His eyes flickering, Chen Feng recalled the Alliance General History he had seen before and tried to connect its information with the Diary.
Then, looking at the final entry in the Diary—
he suddenly thought of the first Diary he had discovered, the one left by a young man named Wang Yu.
It seemed that Wang Yu had also joined the Enforcement Team in the end?
