I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

Looking at the Gold-Eating Beast struggling in Dongfang Canghai's hands.

The resentment Xu Yan felt from being punched by him while he was drunk last night immediately dissipated by more than half.

Dongfang Canghai gripped the moving box tightly in his hands, his face full of doubt, and asked Xu Yan for help, "Brother, do you know how to open this thing?"

The Gold-Eating Beast looks like a toad and has a treasure chest shell on its head.

But its entire body was completely sealed up, and there wasn't a single gap to be found where it could open its mouth.

After catching it, Dongfang Canghai spent the whole morning studying it but still didn't know how to open it.

Xu Yan glanced at the Gold Devouring Beast's health bar, then at Dongfang Canghai's attack panel, and quickly came up with an idea.

This low-level Gold-Eating Beast has 200 HP. It would take me forever to defeat it on my own, so I might as well borrow the help of this level 56 expert to "open the chest".

"Try punching it with all your might."

Dongfang Canghai didn't ask any further questions. He gripped the Gold-Eating Beast tightly with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, slamming it down hard.

"Croak!"

After being attacked, the Gold-Eating Beast let out a short, mournful howl.

Then it shattered into pieces, and its body turned into tiny specks of light and vanished.

Dongfang Canghai stared blankly at his empty hands for a moment, then squatted down and rummaged through the ground, looking completely bewildered: "What happened? Where's the wine? There's no wine?"

Xu Yan stared intently at the things that had fallen to the ground after the Gold-Eating Beast died.

After packing his things, he suppressed his excitement, strode out of the alley, and tossed out, "The wine will be ready soon!"

When Xu Yan returned, he had two more jugs of strong liquor in his hands.

In the alley, Dongfang Canghai remained in the same position as before, lying on the ground, carefully feeling around.

It's like they can't believe their precious child would just disappear like that.

Upon smelling the aroma of the wine, he suddenly raised his head, stood up, and walked towards Xu Yan.

The disappearance of the Gold-Eating Beast was quickly forgotten.

Without any formalities or greetings, Dongfang Canghai took the wine flask, uncorked it, tilted his head back, and took a swig, his face full of enjoyment.

"Powerful! That's what wine should be!"

Xu Yan handed another pot of wine to Dongfang Canghai, then walked to the wall and sat down, opening the secret manual in his hand.

What the Gold-Eating Beast dropped just now was the fist technique he had been longing for!

【The Seven Wounds Fist】

[Technique: Fist Power, Injures Both Enemy and Ally]

[Fist Power]

[Internal Energy Consumption: 20]

[Deals 150% physical attack damage and has a 5% chance to inflict the "Internal Injury" status on the target.]

[Ultimate Skill! Enemy and ally alike suffer the same wound]

[Internal Energy Consumption: 100%]

[Depending on the internal energy consumed, it deals 500%~1000% external attack damage. After release, the user will be inflicted with an "internal injury" status.]

[Quality: High-grade Xuan-level]

Level cap: 55

[Learning]

[After learning, internal strength +20]

[After each level increase: External attack +3, Health +10, Internal energy +5]

Looking at the information on the panel, Xu Yan's breath hitched.

There is a fundamental difference between Xuan-rank martial arts and Huang-rank martial arts.

It even contains unique moves!

"study!"

Once the thought crossed his mind, a flood of memories about boxing techniques rushed into his mind.

Just like when I first learned "Splitting the Wind Blade," it felt as if I had practiced the fist technique a thousand times before, and now I was just remembering it again.

After digesting the memory of the boxing technique, Xu Yan couldn't wait to look at his own panel.

[ID: Xu Yan]

[Level: LV2 (7/20)]

[Qi and Blood Value: 110/110]

[Internal Force Value: 25/25]

External Attack: 13

[Internal Attack: 0]

External Defense: 5

Internal Defense: 5

The attributes are not stacked; instead, the values ​​that should have been obtained after learning the fist technique overwrite the original values ​​of the sword technique.

Xu Yan did a rough calculation.

If the triple damage from the fist technique takes effect, it will be combined with the burst damage from "Unity of Heaven and Man" and the power of the fist technique itself.

In theory, he could kill any martial artist below the Cave Pulse Realm with a single punch.

This thought made Xu Yan's heart burn with excitement.

However, this is only in theory.

Whether it's true or not, we'll have to find a way to verify it.

After closing the panel, Xu Yan was about to leave when the light screen suddenly reappeared in front of him.

Thank you for your support of "Eight Desolations". The update details are as follows.

【Event - <Bounty> Eradicate Evil Completely】

[Map section update]

A new map section, Fallen Valley, has been added. Recommended level: LV: 60-LV: 100

The player chat interface has been optimized.

[-Balance Adjustment]

[Recently, we have received continuous feedback from players pointing out that the Fist Master class still suffers from insufficient damage and a small attack range in PvE, which affects the game experience.]

We have made further adjustments to the following martial arts techniques.

The range of the fist technique "Breaking Mountains and Rivers" has been increased to 10 meters, and the damage coefficient of the moves has been increased.

【...】

[Compensation for this update: 3 Supreme-grade Mind-Clearing Pills]

Xu Yan quickly scanned the updated content.

The fist cultivator has been strengthened once again, and now he is capable of using a wheelchair.

As for the new event, he also glanced at the bounty list.

From level 3 street thugs to level 70 family-wiping madmen, all sorts of characters are included.

This activity carries considerable risks for me at this stage.

I'll try again when I reach the Cave Meridian Realm.

Finally, Xu Yan's gaze fell on the compensation for this update.

He opened his palm, and three bright green pills came into view.

[Supreme Mind-Enhancing Pill]

[After consumption, martial arts experience gain efficiency increases by 200% (Effective: 15 days)]

"Martial arts experience gain efficiency increased by 200%?"

Xu Yan was overjoyed.

They arrived at just the right time.

But he wasn't in a hurry to use it; he planned to find a place to stay first.

After putting away the pills, Xu Yan glanced at Dongfang Canghai, who was still drinking, and left the alley without lingering any longer.

Once on the street, he followed the aroma and found a steamed bun shop.

Because of his foresight, Xu Yan had exchanged some copper coins for the jade pendant last night, which was just enough to cover his daily expenses.

After paying, I took the oil paper package, took a bite of the bun, and turned to walk two steps.

Behind him came the proprietress's embarrassed and somewhat cautious voice.

"Sir, a meat bun costs ten coins, you took five, why are you only paying five coins?"

"My small business simply can't withstand this."

Xu Yan turned around at the sound and saw the proprietress reaching out to pull on a man's sleeve.

The man looked exhausted, his robes were covered in dust, as if he had traveled a long way and was starving.

He impatiently flung his arm away and said gruffly, "I'm being generous by giving you money!"

The proprietress was thrown off balance and stumbled to the ground.

Xu Yan frowned and subconsciously checked the man's interface.

Wang Hu

【LV: 5】

[Qi and Blood Value: 120/120]

[Internal Force Value: 0/0]

External Attack: 14

[Internal Attack: 0]

External Defense: 6

Internal Defense: 5

Wang Hu?

This name seems familiar.

With a thought, he unfolded the bounty list he had just glanced at and flipped through it line by line.

Xu Yan quickly found the corresponding entry.

【Wang Hu | Level: LV: 5 | Difficulty: ★】

Reason for reward: He committed multiple crimes while on the run after raping a respectable woman.
