Dragon Quakes Mountain Fist Technique!

The time flew by until evening.

Linhai First High School, third floor of the training building.

Returning to his room, Ye Li subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

He was already starting to treat this training room like his own home.

"So, what should I upgrade first?"

Ye Li sat in his chair, brought up his status panel, and fell into thought.

[Name: Ye Li]
[Current Level: Second-Tier First Layer (10%)]
[Current Martial Skills]
[Flowing Water Fist Technique: Mastered]
[Cloud-Breaking Spear Technique: Mastered]
[Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique: Mastered]
[Current Talent: SSS-Grade. Indestructible Golden Soul LV1 (Upgradable)]
[Talent Ability: Spear Martial Saint Body]

Additionally, on his way back, Ye Li had stopped by the library and spent two hundred thousand Hanxia Coins to purchase a Second-Tier fist technique.

Its name was Dragon Quakes Mountain, considered a powerful fist technique among Second-Tier Martial Skills.

After Ye Li briefly reviewed it, related text immediately appeared on his panel.

[Second-Tier. Dragon Quakes Mountain: Untrained (Attribute Points can be allocated)]

He currently didn't have any suitable Breathing Techniques, so allocating Cultivation Points could wait.

After all, once he found a suitable Breathing Technique, allocating points might even grant some kind of acceleration buff.

For now, it was better to focus on his Martial Skills and Martial Arts Talent.

Ye Li had always been very interested in the "Upgradable" note after [Indestructible Golden Soul].

The LV1 [Indestructible Golden Soul] could instantly heal the xuyên thủng wound on his shoulder with minimal stamina consumption, turning him into an absolute tank.

If he upgraded it to LV10, wouldn't he be able to regenerate from a drop of blood and become truly indestructible?

Ye Li's heart grew slightly warm.

However, he hadn't gained the experience needed to upgrade his SSS-Grade Martial Arts Talent yet, so he wasn't sure how many Malice Points it would cost.

There was a possibility that after spending over ten thousand Malice Points, he wouldn't hear even a peep.

Therefore, he decided to max out the relatively cheaper Dragon Quakes Mountain first before considering upgrading [Indestructible Golden Soul].

"Everything requires taking it one step at a time, and allocating points is no different..."

Ye Li chuckled lightly, and with a thought, a massive amount of Malice Points poured into the Dragon Quakes Mountain on his panel.

[Ding!] [Consuming Malice Points, beginning to upgrade Second-Tier Martial Skill - Dragon Quakes Mountain!] [Thanks to your research into the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique, the training difficulty of fist techniques far less profound than it has significantly decreased in your eyes...] [Acquired Buff: Training Speed +20%!]

As expected, not a single point of Malice Points was wasted.

Ye Li looked at the panel with satisfaction, it was worth it that he had spent a large amount of Malice Points to max out the incomplete Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique back then.

[Accelerating cultivation...] [After consuming 200 Malice Points, you have finally found the trick to this fist technique. By compressing your muscles when throwing a punch and releasing them simultaneously upon contact with the enemy, you not only increase the power of your punch but also gain the dizzying side effect, which is the origin of the "Quakes" in the martial skill's name.] [Dragon Quakes Mountain successfully entered the initial stage.] [This domineering and fierce martial skill reminds you of the widely spread Baji Quan from your past life. You have combined the philosophies of both to successfully make a slight improvement to this martial skill...] [Acquired Buff: Training Speed increased by 30%, Malice Point consumption reduced by 10%] [After consuming 800 Malice Points, you have finally mastered the 'Quake Punch' technique, allowing you to freely control the timing and extent of muscle compression to determine the power of your punch.] [Dragon Quakes Mountain Great Completion] [After consuming 1000 Malice Points, you are now intimately familiar with this martial skill. Even its founder would not dare claim to understand it better than you.] [Dragon Quakes Mountain Mastered] ...

A martial skill obtained less than half an hour ago. Completed in less than five minutes, maxed out directly.

This is the power of the system's attribute point allocation, truly adding and then allocating...

Ye Li let out a silent breath, raised his slender palm, and continuously opened and closed it, feeling the muscles pulled by the movement.

Martial skills like Dragon Quakes Mountain, which focus on the technique of exerting force, had greatly improved his control over his body.

He closed the panel and walked to the familiar Punch Power Tester.

He looked at the giant sandbag used for testing.

Ye Li relaxed his shoulders and sank his elbows, lowering his center of gravity. He slowly clenched his fist, and the muscles in his entire forearm gradually tensed and then compressed, revealing terrifying lines like long snakes. Tremendous power was brewing within.

The next second, Ye Li's right arm shot out violently, directly breaking the air. His terrifying aura was like a cannonball fired from its barrel.

The moment his fist contacted the sandbag, the muscles in his entire arm expanded, unleashing a terrifying power capable of shaking huge rocks and stones in an instant!

BOOM!

With a heavy thud, the giant sandbag flew high into the air and slammed heavily against the baffle behind it, causing the entire instrument to tremble violently!

Immediately after, an astonishing number appeared on the large screen:

"Punch Power: 2100 kg!"

A normal Second-Tier, First-Level martial artist who had just broken through could only muster a maximum punch power of 1200 kg, even if they broke their arm.

2100 kg was nearly double the limit!

If aided by a high-level Breathing Technique, it would likely be easy to break the 3000 kg mark.

Even more difficult to deal with than this terrifying force was the vibrating sensation that accompanied the punch.

If one were to take it head-on, seven or eight punches would definitely cause their Blood Essence to churn and their vision to blur!

Even if they could withstand the immense force of the punch, it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.

From this perspective, Dragon Quakes Mountain had some armor-piercing capabilities...

Ye Li retracted his palm and flexed his wrist.

"After breaking through to Second-Tier, my punch power has also increased significantly."

"It's just that Dragon Quakes Mountain consumes a lot of stamina. With my current physical strength, I can only use it for... about ten punches."

Ye Li checked the consumption within his body, feeling the swelling in his muscles gradually recede. He returned to his chair.

[Current Malice Points:]

He had to admit, compared to the over 3000 points for the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique, Dragon Quakes Mountain, which was perfected with only 1000 points, was truly economical.

This was reasonable, after all, the former was severely incomplete in its text and its condition was much better than Dragon Quakes Mountain.

If the Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique was an S-Grade Second-Tier Martial Skill, then Dragon Quakes Mountain was around a B-Grade level.

However, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

Despite the huge difference in price, the former had much greater versatility than the latter... He would have preferred Dragon Quakes Mountain to consume more Malice Points.

Ye Li shook his head and summoned his panel.

These martial skills were, after all, temporary techniques. For long-term investment, one still had to rely on Martial Arts Talent.

[Current Talent: SSS-Grade. Indestructible Golden Soul LV1 (Upgradeable)]

The grade was there, it just depended on whether you dared to bet.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Li rubbed his hands together.

Next, it was time to start filling this bottomless pit
