You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"System, are these enhancement points used to upgrade martial arts and superpowers? Can they be used to increase the level of superpowers and martial arts?"

Su Ming calmed his excited emotions and looked at the enhancement points section of the system panel, silently reciting in his mind.

[Enhancement points can be used to learn martial arts, body-tempering techniques, and meditation methods, and to increase proficiency. They can also be used to evolve special abilities and increase their level.]

The moment Su Ming had that thought, the system panel responded immediately.

"Just as I expected!"

"Besides the newbie gift pack, are there any other ways to obtain these upgrade points?"

Enhancement points can be obtained by hunting ferocious beasts. The higher the level of the beast hunted, the more enhancement points you will receive. In addition, hunting ferocious beasts also has a certain chance of stealing their special abilities, including but not limited to natural, superhuman, spatial, and mental abilities.

"System, that's awesome!"

Looking at the system's function introduction, Su Ming mentally gave the system a thumbs up.

"As far as I know, S-rank is already the highest level of superpower. My S-rank Ice Crown can even evolve. What level are superpowers above S-rank?"

Surprised, Su Ming turned his attention to the S-class superpowered Ice Crown and clicked the '+' sign next to it.

[S-Rank Superpower 'Ice Crown' (0/1000000)]

"Alright, evolving into an S-rank ability isn't something I should be thinking about right now."

Seeing that an S-level ability requires a million enhancement points to evolve, Su Ming had no choice but to focus on the martial arts and body-tempering techniques he currently possessed.

【D-Rank Body Tempering Technique 'Rising Sun' (80/100)】

[D-rank martial art 'Diamond Spear Technique' (50/100)]

"System, max out the proficiency of Vajra Spear Technique and Rising Sun!"

Seeing that his current 100 enhancement points could max out the proficiency of both the Vajra Spear Technique and the Body Tempering Method, Su Ming did not hesitate at all.

The 70 enhancement points transformed into two torrents, flowing into the body-tempering technique "Rising Sun" and the martial art "Diamond Spear Technique" respectively.

"Buzz—"

In an instant, the mastery of the Rising Sun and the Vajra Spear Technique reached perfection.

Su Ming's eyes immediately flashed with a look of enlightenment, and countless profound understandings of the two martial arts and body-forging methods immediately appeared in his mind, allowing him to completely master the two martial arts and body-forging methods.

As the sunrise marked the completion of this body-tempering technique, Su Ming's Qi and Blood increased by another 2 points, reaching a total of 7 points.

As Su Ming perfected the Vajra Spear Technique, an invisible, sharp aura flashed across his body.

Just then, Xin Menghan, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and looked at Su Ming in the middle of the group.

However, after carefully examining Su Ming, they found no problems.

"Where did that momentum go? Was I just too nervous and imagining things?"

Xin Menghan frowned, a sense of doubt creeping into her heart.

"Awooo—!"

However, this doubt dissipated with a fierce roar, and Xin Menghan immediately turned her head, looking ahead warily.

Fang Mo, Xia Mu, and Guan Shan's expressions also changed slightly. They all drew their weapons and stared nervously at the figures that appeared in front of them.

Su Ming also looked ahead where everyone was on guard.

Then, he saw ferocious beasts with manes like lions on their necks, resembling hyenas but even more robust.

These ferocious beasts were large and strong, with bulging muscles. Their savage eyes stared at the team members, and their exposed teeth dripped thick saliva.

"A Lion Mastiff!"

After seeing these ferocious beasts clearly, Su Ming immediately recalled a type of ferocious beast from the "Illustrated Compendium of Beasts" he had seen in the school library.

Although the Lion Mastiff is a Tier 1 ferocious beast, it is still considered one of the more powerful Tier 1 ferocious beasts.

Adult lion mastiffs all possess the strength of the late stage of Tier 1.

What's even more terrifying is that lion mastiffs are pack animals, and each time they go out, there are at least five or six, and sometimes dozens.

Even a martial artist who has just advanced to the second tier would have to flee in panic when faced with dozens of adult lion mastiffs at the late stage of the first tier.

"Awooo—!"

"Awooo—!"

……

Amidst a series of sharp, piercing howls, a full sixteen adult lion mastiffs surrounded Xin Menghan's team of five.

The gazes of several mastiffs quickly locked onto Su Ming. In their perception, Su Ming's aura was the weakest, making him the easiest target.

"Everyone, move closer to Su Ming! Prepare for battle!"

Upon realizing that the mastiffs were targeting Su Ming, Xin Menghan's expression changed, and she shouted sharply.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step back and stood in front of Su Ming.

The other three arrived at Su Ming's side at almost the same time. The four of them stood back to back, protecting Su Ming in the middle, and pointed their weapons at the surrounding lion dogs.

"Awoo!"

As Xin Menghan and her companions set off, the surrounding mastiffs launched their attack simultaneously.

Seven or eight gray-brown figures darted out from the surrounding piles of rocks and trees like lightning, heading straight for the team.

"kill!"

Xin Menghan let out a sharp cry, her powerful blood energy erupting instantly, and the long sword in her hand drew a sharp arc in the air.

"Pfft!"

The blade instantly cleaved a charging mastiff away, splattering blood as it fell to the ground.

With a single strike, he disemboweled the late-stage Tier 1 Lionhound that had just pounced on him, killing it instantly.

"So strong!"

Su Ming felt Xin Menghan's outburst up close and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Xin Menghan's burst of energy was at least 30 times that of his, while the opponent's energy was at least 210 points.

"Overlord Blade!"

"Flowing Cloud Spear!"

In the other three directions, Fang Mo and the others also mobilized their qi and blood to unleash the martial arts they had mastered.

All three are late-stage Tier 1 martial artists. Although their martial arts are all D-level, their proficiency has reached advanced level, allowing them to unleash twice the combat power.

However, compared to Xin Menghan, the three of them were much weaker.

Faced with ferocious beasts of the same level, such as lion mastiffs, they only managed to repel them, inflicting minor injuries, but were unable to kill them.

"You guys defend against these mastiffs' attacks, don't get hurt, leave the rest to me!"

After Xin Menghan killed a mastiff, her cold voice rang out.

A flash of light, and another mastiff fell to her blade.

Fang Mo, Guan Shan, and Xia Mu all nodded in agreement and stood guard closely around Su Ming, fending off the lion-mastiff dogs that were pouncing on them.

Xin Menghan, on the other hand, swiftly and decisively struck, each blow taking the life of a lion mastiff.

The team worked together seamlessly, and even though the pack of mastiffs charged desperately, they couldn't break through their defenses and injure Su Ming.

Within half a minute, most of the sixteen mastiffs were dead.

The remaining six mastiffs stopped their attack and instead distanced themselves, staring at Xin Menghan, who had just displayed such prowess, with fear in their eyes, already considering retreating.

"Awooo!"

Just when everyone thought the lion mastiffs were about to retreat, an even louder roar came, and a fierce aura that made Fang Mo and the others tremble rapidly approached.

"Oh no! It's the Lion Mastiff King!"

When Xin Menghan saw a lion mastiff, as big as an ox and twice the size of an ordinary lion mastiff, charging towards them, even she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her face extremely solemn.
