One-Star War Soldier Level Martial Artist

Crimson Flame Art

Elementary Fire Talent

Fire Source Power*2

Fire Scale Sword Art*10

Spirit*0.1

Wang Teng picked up all five bubbles.

In an instant, his entire being underwent a heaven-shaking transformation.

As Spirit*0.1 merged into him, Wang Teng's mind cleared for a fleeting instant before the sensation vanished.

At the same time, his body underwent an indescribable change.

When he closed his eyes, all he had seen was darkness.

But now, he sensed countless tiny, fiery-red, scorching particles drifting through heaven and earth like little living sprites.

Fire Source Power!

This was Fire Source Power.

Once Wang Teng's body completed its transformation, the Fire Source Power wandering around him seemed to have discovered an amusement park. It surged toward him with cheers, drilling into his body through every pore.

But without guidance, it could only rampage recklessly through Wang Teng's body.

Fortunately, a memory that had appeared out of nowhere came into play.

Crimson Flame Art—an Origin Power cultivation method!

A phantom figure cultivated within Wang Teng's mind. The pathways within its body became visible, with the spine as the main trunk, extending through the Four Limbs and Bones and densely covering the entire body.

The Fire Source Power was immediately drawn in.

The 2 points of Fire Source Power attributes he had just picked up were especially obedient. They seemed to become the leaders, guiding a group of little radishes to line up neatly and march through the pathways inside Wang Teng's body.

In the end, they flowed down the main spinal channel and entered a node at its very bottom.

Red Light blazed!

Boom!

A scorching sensation erupted from the base of his spine and spread throughout Wang Teng's body. As it passed through, his previous injuries rapidly healed until they vanished completely.

Finally, a plume of hot vapor rose from the crown of his head.

Then it slowly dispersed, while the Red Light at the tail-end node gradually receded and finally fell silent.

Meanwhile, another figure appeared in Wang Teng's mind, holding a battle sword and performing a sequence of moves. The sword was wrapped in fiery power, and its might was astonishing!

Fire Scale Sword Art—an Origin Power Combat Skill!!

When all the visions disappeared, Wang Teng opened his eyes, suppressing the joy in his heart as he looked at the Attribute Panel.

But when he saw it, Wang Teng froze.

The Attribute Panel had completely changed.

"What is this?"

Wang Teng stared at the utterly transformed Attribute Panel, especially the Primal Force section. He could no longer look away.

"One-Star War Soldier Level?"

"I... became a martial artist!!"

Wang Teng clenched his fists and took several deep breaths before he barely managed to calm down.

"So this person really was a martial artist!"

"And I actually killed a martial artist!"

He lowered his head and looked at the lifeless martial artist's corpse before him, not knowing what he was supposed to feel.

"Huff!"

He exhaled a breath of foul air.

Then he suddenly remembered there was another person on the other side who had dropped several Attribute Bubbles as well. He had to pick them up immediately, or they would disappear after too much time passed.

Fortunately, though everything just now sounded lengthy, only a short while had actually passed.

When Wang Teng returned to that person's side, the bubbles had become somewhat illusory, but they had not completely disappeared.

Pick up!

Elementary Ice Talent

Ice Element Source Power*1

Profound Ice Art

Illusory Ice Fist*8

There were four Attribute Bubbles, one fewer Spirit point than the previous martial artist.

As expected, this person was also a martial artist!

As the Attribute Bubbles merged into Wang Teng's body, a scene similar to before appeared once more.

Wang Teng gained Elementary Ice Talent, making his body compatible with Ice Element Source Power. As a result, icy particles drifting through heaven and earth flooded into his body.

The Origin Power cultivation method, Profound Ice Art, began to take effect.

A figure sat cross-legged in Wang Teng's mind. In reality, Wang Teng also sat down cross-legged, following the circulation route of the Profound Ice Art to guide the Ice Element Source Power that had entered his body through his Four Limbs and Bones.

The icy sensation made his entire body shudder.

A thin layer of frost formed over the ground around him.

Wang Teng was completely unaware of it as he directed the Ice Element Source Power into the node at the base of his spine.

Boom!

The influx of Ice Element Source Power stirred the Fire Source Power that had settled there not long ago.

Ice and fire were naturally incompatible!

Once they met, they were bound to fight to the death. Neither could possibly tolerate the other's existence.

However, just as both sides were at daggers drawn and about to clash in the next instant, a profound and mysterious force appeared between them.

Under the effect of this force, the Ice Element Source Power and Fire Source Power gradually calmed down.

The two slowly rotated, eventually forming a circle and maintaining a stable balance.

At the same time, the information belonging to the Illusory Ice Fist smoothly merged into Wang Teng's memories. Another Origin Power Combat Skill acquired.

A moment later, Wang Teng let out a long breath and opened his eyes.

"Close one!"

"Ice and fire don't mix. They nearly exploded inside my body. Scared the hell out of me."

Still shaken, he felt that after returning, he absolutely had to properly catch up on knowledge related to martial artists.

Otherwise, if he made another mistake based on common sense in the future, he might not even know how he died.

"Come to think of it, was that mysterious force just now the system boss stepping in?"

Wang Teng thought about it briefly but could not come up with any other explanation. The most likely possibility was that the system boss had intervened.

After all, he did not have some mysterious ring, so there was no hope of an old grandpa suddenly appearing to turn the tide.

Then, with tears in his eyes, he would call out... Master~

Moved heaven, moved earth, moved you, me, and everyone!

Wang Teng stood up and brushed the dead leaves off his body. When he saw the thin frost covering the ground around him, centered on himself, he could not help but pause.

"Primal Force really is amazing!"

He sighed, then looked at the martial artist's corpse before him and thought for a moment...

Hmm~ time to loot the body!

He searched the man's pockets. Aside from a phone and a coin, there was nothing else.

However, the Purple-black gloves on the man's hands caught Wang Teng's attention.

"Good stuff!"

"I'll take them first and study them properly when I get back."

Then he ran back to the Fire Element Martial Artist from earlier and searched through his pockets as well.

An iPhone 8.

A Zippo lighter. Good stuff, taking it!

There was also a crushed pack of cigarettes. He looked like a Fellow Daoist, so Wang Teng did not mind and slipped it into his pocket.

"Oh, this sword is pretty good."

Wang Teng pried open the man's fingers, examined the longsword inscribed with crimson runes, and claimed it for himself without the slightest courtesy.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me. You can't take it with you in life or death, so consider it a contribution to society!" Wang Teng muttered.

Thanks to "When Xia Zhiming Met Dull Little Xin" and "Book Friend 1308031455..." for the rewards.

And thanks to "Memories~The Days of Those Years" for adding this to their book list.
