My martial arts skill bar can be infinitely merged.

Looking at the martial arts points, Lu Feng felt puzzled, wondering how they came to be there.

However, once the cheat was installed, I suddenly felt at ease.

Looking at the text above Tiger's head, he didn't hesitate for long and clicked "replicate".

"Download it for me!"

The points immediately decreased by one, and the text above Tiger's head disappeared.

[Replica Successfully Completed]

[Current grid count 1/3: Physical Strength loaded]

With a whoosh, half of the chill disappeared, and my whole body warmed up, much warmer than when I basked in the sun in the yard every day.

The reason why Lu Feng chose to replicate it without hesitation was because this was the only one he had encountered in the past few days.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the rarity of his talent, not to mention that it also helped him activate the martial arts section, so naturally he had to download it.

On the street, Lu Feng, dressed in gray, only paused for a moment before his eyes brightened again, indicating that the loading of his talent was complete.

In addition, he also fully understood how to use the martial arts board.

There are three slots in total. Once you successfully replicate the item using Martial Arts Points, you can equip it. Conversely, you can remove it. The removed item will not disappear, but it will not work if it is not loaded.

Lu Feng originally didn't plan to go and see the top disciples of the Dao Academy, but the martial arts forum made him change his mind.

"Let's go."

Hearing this, Tiger was very happy and led Lu Feng forward.

The two walked out of the small street and then along the main road towards the inner city for quite a distance, passing many pedestrians along the way.

The hawking and shouting filled the air, and the crowds were chaotic; the further into the inner city you went, the more pronounced the situation became.

Finally, the two stopped on a bustling main street, where a charming three-story cottage came into view.

Diners come and go, the aroma of food wafts through the air, and the smell of alcohol occasionally drifts out. Noisy people fill the tables on the first floor.

Most of the people who come here to eat are traveling merchants or bodyguards, and the majority are small groups of scholars and writers.

We're quite close to the inner city now. The landmark that distinguishes the inner and outer city is the circular river at the end of this main road. Once you cross the stone bridge, you'll be in the inner city.

Inside the restaurant, everyone chatted amongst themselves, their conversations so lively that they could be heard even outside.

Tiger hesitated, seemingly unwilling to go in.

Lu Feng also stood across from the restaurant, but his eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to find another talent possessor, but unfortunately he didn't see one at all.

"Didn't they say they had a talented student?"

Lu Feng began to look around, still really wanting to see where his disciple was.

Tiger choked, kicked the ground awkwardly a couple of times, and said, "They're probably gone. It was San Yatou who told me they had them."

"Maybe," Lu Feng replied.

After loading his physical talent, he could feel the changes within himself; his strength was increasing, and the chilling aura was decreasing.

The call of Willow Lake still lingers, but time has been greatly delayed.

However, the crisis remains, and he needs to gain strength as soon as possible. Since acquiring talent can delay danger, he must find the talent owner as soon as possible, replicate and load the talent, and finally resolve the troubles he is in.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get some wine."

"OK."

Lu Feng walked from the roadside into the restaurant, stood by the counter, pointed to the wine vats next to him, and said to the waiter who was in charge of serving wine, "Give me some strong liquor, shao dao zi."

The waiter was about the same age as Lu Feng, dressed in black short clothes with long cloth padding his shoulders, and moved nimbly.

"Alright, sir, how many ounces?"

"Six qian, let's make two liang."

Six coins were the few spare change Lu Feng had.

While getting the drinks, I swept across the spacious floor again, and unsurprisingly found nothing. Then I looked up.

My movements paused for a moment, and through the partition on the second floor, I could see two lines of text.

[Talent Replication: Low-Grade Root Bone / Increases Physique and Cultivation Speed]

【Required Martial Arts Points: 10 / 1 of the current Martial Arts slots】

...

[Skill Replication: One-Symbol Style (Minor Mastery) / Special Style Focused on Fast-Paced Attacks]

【Required Martial Arts Points: 5 / 1 of the current Martial Arts slots】

Lu Feng quickly looked away, his expression unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.

The two lines of text above probably correspond to the Taoist academy's top disciple that Tiger mentioned.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough martial arts points to download it.

Also, when we were outside, there was no text displayed on the second floor. Now that we're inside, we realize that, according to Lu Feng's guess, the martial arts display has a range, and it's very likely that it won't be visible outside that range.

Verification is also very simple.

"Here you go, sir, here's your wine."

The waiter handed over the wine gourd and took six coins from it.

Lu Feng shook the wine gourd in his hand to check its weight before leaving the restaurant. He didn't see San Yatou or her family there.

As soon as they stepped outside, Tiger came up to them.

"How about that? Did you see it?"

Lu Feng naturally shook his head, saying that it was impossible to see under normal vision.

Tiger looked regretful again, but only for a moment; he was just there for the fun.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

Looking back, I saw that the text that had just appeared had indeed disappeared.

"As expected, there are limits to the range."

Having learned another hidden rule of the martial arts forum, Lu Feng retraced his steps. The closer he got to his home, the fewer pedestrians there were, and the roadside gradually quieted down, highlighting the desolate atmosphere.

Back in the alley, Tiger waved to Lu Feng.

"I'm going back."

"Don't go out tonight."

"good!"

After saying goodbye to his companions, Lu Feng walked three hundred meters through the alley to the north and returned to his doorstep.

At this moment, a vast expanse of sunset glow appeared in the sky, dyeing the clouds a deep crimson. The sun had set halfway down, and at the edge of the sky, a breathtaking panorama of color unfolded.

Lu Feng was standing at the door, about to push it open and go in, when suddenly something flashed before his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly to glance at it, lowered his raised hand, his light, rhythmic breathing was interrupted, and his gaze focused on a glaring black liquid.

That was the door of the neighboring Chen family, the family that was wiped out. It was on the edge of the door, near the wall, a place that would normally go unnoticed.

Something weird.

After having this thought, Lu Feng withdrew his hand from pushing the door, his gaze fell, and he naturally took a few steps in that direction before stopping and stepping onto the hard mud ground in front of the Chen family's wooden door.

He stopped in front of the black liquid, his expression turning serious.

He was certain that there was nothing here before he possessed the physical talent, and only after acquiring the physical talent could he perceive this thing.

so...

What is it?

Without hesitation, Lu Feng extended his finger and touched it slightly with the tip of his fingernail. If something was wrong, he could react immediately, at least it wasn't direct contact with flesh and blood.

And at the moment of touch.

The martial arts bar jumped slightly, but nothing else happened.

Lu Feng's expression returned to normal. He withdrew his fingers and watched as the black figure in front of him vanished as if it had never existed.

[Martial arts points: 1]

Originally, I had zero martial arts points, but now I have one more.

He seemed to know how the original martial arts points came about, and it definitely had a lot to do with Liu Hu.

Willow Lake.

A cold glint appeared in Lu Feng's eyes; clearly, this trouble needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

Gaining some martial arts points is naturally a good thing.

Lu Feng turned back from the Chen family's door to his own, pushed open the courtyard gate, entered the courtyard, and went back into the house.

It was evening.

When Mr. Lu returned from his shift, he was exhausted and his eyes were filled with deep worry, but he didn't say a word.

My second uncle didn't come home that night. He was a caretaker for a wealthy family. Although he wasn't indentured servitude, he was on night shifts and couldn't always go home on time. Sometimes he would just stay at the owner's house.

At the old table, Lu Chen looked at the murky wine in the earthenware bowl. When he learned from his wife that it was his stupid son who bought it, he became unusually quiet and simply savored the strong liquor he had drunk countless times.

He would occasionally eat a bite of vegetables with peanuts.

As the second aunt ate her meal, she was filled with worry. Her husband had been working far more night shifts this month than ever before, and with the appearance of the Night Ghost, she was finding it difficult to calm down.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Chen spoke up: "I have a good relationship with Butcher Zhang from the east. Go early tomorrow, bring gifts, and ask him to be your apprentice."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan looked at her son nervously. Her son was very stubborn and had always been at odds with Lu Chen. She was afraid that the two would quarrel again.

But to her delight, Lu Feng didn't make a fuss.

"Okay, I'll go earlier tomorrow."

He did not refute, but answered according to his family's wishes.

As a result, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the family rarely had a quarrel.

late at night.

Lu Feng, who was sleeping in his small room, opened his eyes.

Perhaps it was due to the influence of the Yin energy of Willow Lake that he had a natural sensitivity to these cold and gloomy auras.

He sensed something approaching, and it was heading straight for him.

Lu Feng stood up, lightly touched the ground, walked around the wooden chair and small table, went to the windowsill, opened the window, and the cold atmosphere became even more obvious.

Bright moonlight shone through the cloudless sky and onto the small front yard of the house. A black monster, about 1.4 meters tall, completely black, and resembling a skinny monkey, landed silently and entered the Lu family's house.

"Is it a night ghost?"

He had never seen what a night ghost looked like, but he had information about such ghosts in his mind.

Night Demons are creatures that feed on human brains. Their claws are comparable to weapons. Unless a high-ranking disciple of a Taoist academy uses qi and blood to subdue them, ordinary people are no match for them. Even those skilled in martial arts cannot withstand the claws of Night Demons.

and many more!

He noticed that words were also floating above the head of the night demon.

[Talent Replica: Hardness/Increased Bone Strength]

【Required Martial Arts Points: 1 / 1 of the current Martial Arts slots】

Can a demon's talent be copied?

Lu Feng was stunned.

Just then, a loud and clear voice resounded throughout the Lu family mansion.

"You beast! You finally couldn't resist eating people! My long wait was worth it, die!!!"

The voice was unfamiliar, but Lu Feng knew who it was, after all, the words "low-grade root bone" above his head were too conspicuous.

Under the moonlight, Ke Xing stood dressed in white, carrying a sword, looking every bit the chivalrous knight. His long sword was drawn, and he was already fighting with the Night Demon as soon as he spoke.

After several loud bangs, Night Ghost hurriedly fled the Lu family and disappeared from sight. Ke Xing also chased after him, and the two disappeared into the small courtyard.

The Lu family members had also been awakened long ago, but no one dared to go out to check, and they didn't even dare to turn on the lights.

Lu Feng watched the departing Night Demon without giving it much thought. He knew he couldn't defeat it. If the people from the Dao Academy hadn't arrived, he probably would have had to take a risky move tonight.

In the virtual display before him, one of his martial arts points had quietly disappeared without him noticing; he had chosen to replicate it earlier.

[Replica Successfully Completed]

[Current slot count 2/3: Physical Strength/Toughness loaded]

His bones felt tingly and numb for three breaths before quickly returning to normal. Lu Feng didn't feel much of a sensation on the surface, but the chilling aura around him was suppressed again, reduced to only a quarter of its original size.

Looking at the courtyard again, under the bright moonlight, a black liquid was very conspicuously hanging on the door latch. It was conspicuous because the black liquid was about the size of a child's fist.

In the evening, even that wisp of black liquid gave him a little martial arts points. He wondered how many points this obviously larger wisp of black liquid would bring him.

And the origin of this black liquid is indeed related to the so-called ghostly harm.
