"Crackling--"
The oil glittered and cracked, sparks flew everywhere.
Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan, who was fast asleep beside him, and then looked away.
When he was halfway there, Le Gu Nan couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep on his shoulder.
Shen Heng didn't wake her up afterwards. After finding a place to stay for the night, he started working alone.
The content mainly consists of three things: digging holes, making beds, and hunting.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng couldn't help but glance at Le Gu Nan and the bed beneath her.
It was a simple bed made of logs arranged in rows.
To prevent the bumps on the logs from hurting people, a thick layer of fur from an unknown creature was laid on the bed.
Shen Heng turned his gaze back to the thigh of the unknown creature in front of the fire.
Shen Heng had no idea what this Calamity Beast was, and it wasn't recorded in the Supervision Bureau's Calamity Beast Illustrated Guide.
All he knew was that it was a Calamity Beast somewhat similar to a ground sloth, covered in thick fur, with no eyes on its head, only a spiral-shaped serrated mouthpart.
This was the first time Shen Heng had ever seen such a structure.
He inexplicably thought of a phrase that had been slowly spreading within the Supervision Bureau over the past six months.
Perhaps we only understand one percent of the Ruins Realm!
The Supervision Bureau is also unsure of the exact number of Calamity Beast in the Ruins Realm.
All they can do is record each one that appears.
Therefore, after killing the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast, Shen Heng took a picture and wrote down its attack methods so that he could submit them later.
Returning to his train of thought, Shen Heng recalled what he had gained this time.
He took out the Lung Crystal of the Firmament Breath Beast from the backpack beside him and examined it.
This was a lung much larger than Shen Heng's palm, covered with a thin layer of translucent white crystals.
"If we get the Lung Crystal of the Firmament Breath Beast, the next step is to go back and treat my mother's illness, but..."
Shen Heng glanced at Le Gu Nan.
The method of using the Firmament Breath Beast Lung Crystal is to grind the Lung Crystal into powder and then have the patient inhale it evenly.
After this process, Lung Crystal can adhere to the respiratory tract.
Afterwards, when the patient inhales, the Origin Power contained in the air that their body cannot adapt to will be absorbed by the Lung Crystal.
Then, it was gradually expelled with each breath.
In this way, the Origin Power that their bodies were originally unable to adapt to will be resolved.
However, even so, it only meant that they would no longer be affected by the Origin Power.
Their bodies cannot immediately return to normal.
After all, their weakness didn't happen overnight; it was accumulated over many years.
But as long as the Origin Power no longer harms their bodies, they can recover with time and care.
"I'll ask Le Gu Nan to help me evenly coat the breathing tube with the powder then."
"I don't feel entirely safe using natural breathing to cover it up."
Shen Heng gazed at Le Gu Nan, lost in thought.
He turned his gaze away and began to ponder his next steps.
If I cure my mother's illness by hunting Firmament Breath Beast, how should I spend the points I saved up?
Shen Heng had already saved up 3,000 points half a year ago, and in the past six months, his points have skyrocketed to more than 11,000.
Of those, 2100 points were allocated to Shen Heng because 'Flow' was redeemed once.
The remaining 5,000 points were earned by defeating the Calamity Beast over the past six months.
So, how do you use over 11,000 points?
Shen Heng pondered.
Combat skills? Equipment? Or items?
As for combat skills...
Let's look at the others first.
Equipment, armor? Or weapons?
As for armor, 11,000 points seems like a lot, but it's a bit difficult to buy a full set of Third Tier armor.
Moreover, Shen Heng's need for protective gear is actually very low.
Aside from simulations, he almost never encountered a situation that could harm him.
After all, when the Supervision Bureau goes out on a mission, it's always a group of people beating up a single beast.
In addition to Shen Heng's abilities, he generally won't get injured unless Fourth Tier Calamity Beast appears.
However, given Shen Heng's current understanding, the appearance of a Fourth Tier Calamity Beast would be meaningless even if you exchanged all your armor for it.
If armor is useless, then weapons?
Thinking of this, Shen Heng picked up the long sword beside him and drew it.
The faint firelight reflected off the blade; it was hard, cold, and straight.
Shen Heng stared silently at the long sword in his hand.
This custom-made Origin Power Alloy longsword, crafted with 65 points, has been with him ever since.
I do feel a bit weak right now.
However, with the added Origin Power and the triple-strength Vibrating Blade, it is still usable.
"Then, the props?" Shen Heng pondered.
He didn't know much about props, but he hadn't heard of any particularly useful ones. Maybe he could ask Wu Cheng later, but Shen Heng didn't have high hopes for it.
Aside from equipment and items, there are only combat skills left.
Shen Heng sheathed his longsword, pondering what type of combat skills he was currently lacking.
Because of his limited abilities, his current fighting style leans towards quick and decisive attacks, using his abilities to ambush and finish with a longsword.
This fighting style is very effective when facing opponents who are unaware of his abilities.
Shen Heng also used this ability to make his D-Class Sound Wave Perception capabilities far exceed the D-Class level.
However, this does not mean that Shen Heng's current fighting style is without flaws.
The flaw had always existed in Shen Heng.
When his ability fails to take effect, or when he is unable to kill his opponent within the effective time, the battle will enter a phase of direct confrontation.
That stage is the one Shen Heng needs to strengthen.
so...
Shen Heng stared blankly at the flames in front of him.
Are you looking for a combat skill that can maximize your ability in direct combat?
What type of combat skill can best enhance his direct combat ability?
If we disregard his abilities, his current fighting style is probably based on a sword.
Looking for a good swordsman?
Shen Heng pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head.
This might indeed be useful, but it's not obvious.
Moreover, the knife wasn't actually his advantage.
His real advantage lies in the combination of fluid and Sonic Wave Body Tempering.
The existence of the flow kept his body in a constant state of enhancement.
The existence of Sonic Wave Body Tempering further elevates his physical limits.
Although the effects are not very obvious now, in the future, as the Body Tempering continues, his physical potential will increase higher and higher.
At that time, his physical abilities will overwhelm the vast majority of martial artists whose abilities cannot be enhanced.
So, does the Martial World Easy Exchange have any slashing techniques that are compatible with this combination?
Shen Heng recalled.
After a long while, his eyes lit up slightly.
He thought of a combat technique he had seen many times.
Sevenfold Force!
A combat technique that allows for the use of multiple powerful attacks.
Under this combat technique, those with good physical fitness will have an even greater advantage.
