Chapter 34

Looking at the text before him, Lu Sheng felt a faint surge of excitement in his heart.

He watched as the numbers above the text slowly decreased.

A moment later, a crisp voice rang out in Lu Sheng's mind.

Ding! System upgrade complete!

Refresh probabilities can now be viewed!

Hearing that crisp voice, Lu Sheng immediately opened the system's refresh probabilities.

Refresh probabilities: White (30%) Green (35%) Blue (20%) Purple (10%) Red (4%) Gold (0.8%) Rainbow (0.15%) Divine (0.05%)

Looking at the refresh probabilities before him, Lu Sheng's brows lifted slightly.

First, the probability of white Martial Arts Talents had decreased. Second, the probabilities for the subsequent Martial Arts Talents had all increased.

The most noticeable change was that purple, which had previously only possessed a probability of several percent, had risen to ten percent!

The probability of Red Talents had even reached four percent!

Though the increase did not seem particularly large, Purple Talents had previously only had a probability of several percent, yet he had still managed to refresh purple talents.

And now, the probability of Red Talents was about the same as the previous probability for Purple Talents. On top of that, he had the boost from his Good Luck Talent.

Perhaps...

One day, he would be able to refresh a Red Talent!

Purple Talents alone had already brought him such terrifying improvements, let alone Red Talents.

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked toward his system panel.

Host: Lu Sheng!

Cultivation: Blood Qi Layer Ten (10)

Martial Art: "Arhat Fist" (Perfected)

Martial Arts Talents: Level Up! (Purple) Fist Master (Blue) Strong Strike (White) Tenacity (Green) Ronin (White) Slaughter (Purple) Good Luck (Green)

Refreshes: 1

"Hm?"

Lu Sheng instantly noticed the extra line on the system panel.

Refreshes!

"What does this mean?"

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Previously, Martial Arts Talents had refreshed once every week. Now that this additional number of refreshes had appeared...

Could they accumulate?

Lu Sheng opened the description beside the number of refreshes.

Refreshes: Gain one refresh per week. Refreshes can be accumulated. Ten refreshes can be directly exchanged for a random Red Talent. One hundred refreshes can be directly exchanged for a random Gold Talent!

Looking at the description of refreshes, Lu Sheng's breathing immediately turned heated.

Directly exchange for a random Talent?

Wasn't that a little too terrifying?

Purple Talents were already so terrifying, let alone Red Talents and even Gold Talents.

Even an auxiliary-type Red Talent would be an enormous improvement for Lu Sheng.

But Lu Sheng quickly calmed down from his wild joy.

Though they could be exchanged, the time required was still far too long.

Ten refreshes meant ten weeks—nearly two months.

There was even less need to mention a hundred refreshes. That would take more than a year.

For his current self, he could not afford to waste such a long stretch of time!

"Although spending over a year to exchange for a Gold Talent wouldn't be a loss, I currently need to face the Martial Arts Class assessment and even the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam. Naturally, I can't waste that much time."

"But this Red Talent..."

Lu Sheng's gaze fell on the first half of the description.

"There are still nearly six months until the college entrance exam. If I spend two months exchanging for a Red Talent..."

"Perhaps it wouldn't be such a loss. I might even be able to exchange for two Red Talents!"

Lu Sheng murmured softly. His eyes lingered again and again on his refresh count, but in the end, he chose not to refresh. Instead, he planned to save them up and exchange them directly for a Red Talent.

After all, the refresh probability for a Red Talent was only four percent. Why not use ten refreshes to exchange for one directly?

If his luck was poor, he might not get a single Red Talent even after ten attempts.

Lu Sheng felt it was better to play it safe.

"Though this system upgrade hasn't given me much of a boost for the moment, it has unlocked more functions!"

"This Golden Core... wasn't a loss after all!"

A smile curled across Lu Sheng's lips.

"For now, I can't refresh Martial Arts Talents. I need to save up for a Red Talent, so..."

"Raising my Blood Qi limit and strengthening my physique are what I need to do most right now!"

"The road of hunting Fierce Beasts is long and arduous!"

Lu Sheng smiled faintly, gathered up the valuable parts of the Fierce Beast corpses on the ground, then continued deeper into the outskirts to hunt Fierce Beasts.

A week later, Lu Sheng arrived at the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

Over the past week, Lu Sheng had successfully raised the limit of his Blood Qi to eleven points. But after reaching eleven points, he discovered that he seemed to faintly sense the existence of a bottleneck.

Yet as Slaughter continued to enhance his physique, that feeling of being constrained gradually began to vanish.

Eventually, he could no longer feel it at all.

"Could strengthening my physique increase the limit of my Blood Qi?"

Lu Sheng pondered it, but he was not certain about this discovery. At the end of the day, he was merely a rookie who had only just stepped into the world of martial artists.

Still, even if Lu Sheng did not know, he had a teacher and two senior sisters!

If Second Senior Sister did not know, he still had First Senior Sister.

If First Senior Sister did not know, he still had his teacher!

That was just how overbearing he was!

Thus, Lu Sheng appeared at the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

Inside the dojo, Kong Xin and Lan Linglong sat in the lounge area, chatting and laughing, while Kong Yunzhang had vanished once more.

Lu Sheng had long since grown accustomed to Kong Yunzhang suddenly disappearing and suddenly appearing again.

Casting a pitying glance at the Outer Disciples whom Kong Xin had forcibly made practice Standing Meditation, Lu Sheng smiled and walked toward Kong Xin and the others.

"Junior Disciple Brother is here?"

Lan Linglong and the others had naturally noticed Lu Sheng's arrival long ago. She smiled gently as she spoke.

Lu Sheng bowed to his two senior sisters, then skillfully found a chair and sat down.

Kong Xin glanced at Lu Sheng and said with a smile, "What are you doing at the dojo today? Is there something you don't understand?"

Over this period, Lu Sheng had become rather familiar with Kong Xin.

Kong Xin also knew that Lu Sheng truly never visited a temple without a reason.

Since he had come today, he must have run into some trouble or encountered something he did not understand.

Lu Sheng smiled awkwardly. Before his First Senior Sister, he seemed like a man stripped naked, with no secrets to speak of.

Thus, Lu Sheng simply stopped hiding anything and asked softly.

"Senior Sister... can a person's Blood Qi limit become higher because their physique grows stronger?"

The moment those words left his mouth, a sharp gleam flashed through Kong Xin's eyes.
