Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

A surge of power welled up from deep within his body.

Li Xin took a deep breath, feeling the vibrant life force and the strength of his body, and a sense of satisfaction welled up within him.

The thought sank into my mind.

It was discovered that as [Constitution] increases to 20 points, an additional talent trait appears: [Critical Hit].

Similar to the spiritual [psychic] and the agile [lightness].

It's simple, yet it's incredibly meaningful.

When [Spirit] reaches 20, you will gain the [Spirit Communication] talent, which allows you to sense that strange frequency naturally without having to summon gods, and visualize the [Third Prince's Divine Intent].

They can instinctively sense the good or bad intentions of others and have a premonition of impending dangers.

Its role is undeniably significant.

When Agility reaches 20, the Swiftness talent trait will appear.

This talent trait seems simple, and it doesn't seem to have any more complex or ingenious uses.

But simply being half the weight and twice as agile is enough to make up for all the shortcomings...

Even without fully utilizing his agility, he was able to match, and even surpass, the decades of hard work and dedication of other genius martial artists in terms of movement techniques.

That's what it relies on.

Gao Tianyun is known as the best in the capital for his lightness skill and spear technique. His agility stat, honed over decades, is almost at least forty points.

It is said that this person was tied to a sandbag from a young age and jumped hundreds or thousands of times every day.

They also practiced vertical and lateral movement, acceleration, and steering in various extreme environments.

Even if someone else is just as agile as him, he can still defeat his opponent through his rich experience and hard work.

His talent lies in his mastery of light footwork and agility, giving him a tremendous advantage in mobile warfare.

However, Li Xin was slightly superior to him in terms of movement speed...

They engaged in a long street chase and exchange of fire, with the former gaining the upper hand and nearly preventing the latter from escaping.

This is the effect of the [Lightness] talent.

Now that his [Constitution] has reached 20, Li Xin only needed to sense the [Critical Strike] talent trait to understand its purpose.

Very simple.

Just like its name suggests, it's an explosion.

He took a light breath, stood by the window, and without assuming any stance or controlling his qi and blood, simply threw a punch.

Snapped!

It sounded like a muffled thunderclap.

A faint ripple appeared in front of the fist...

The raindrops drifting into the room were shaken by the ripples and turned into a fine mist.

It extends straight forward, about half a foot in length.

Ripples of power emanated from around his arm.

His clothes were bulging and almost torn.

"what!"

Li Xin looked surprised.

He found that the feeling of that punch was somewhat strange.

If the punching power used to be delivered in layers... from the waist to the arm, and then from the arm to the fist, it was a chain-like power generation.

But now, it's the matrix that's exerting its power.

The tendons, muscles, and bones of the waist, shoulders, arms, and fists vibrate simultaneously.

The power is not passed sequentially, but rather gathers in a unique way, instantly erupting from the fist.

All the power was not layered or graded, but rather superimposed and aggregated, and then released instantly.

Li Xin picked up a bluish-gray stone from the corner of the room and threw it in front of him.

A punch was thrown.

"puff……"

As the fist exerted force.

The fist-sized bluestone shattered into powder instantly, exploding into a fan-shaped cloud of dust.

"Without activating the [Divine Strike Technique], my basic strength is only about 600 jin."

However, this punch delivered a devastating blow that easily produced the effect of 1,200 jin (approximately 600 kg).

"If I could control my qi and blood, circulate my powerful energy, and then visualize the [Erlang Zhenjun's Divine Intent] to temporarily boost my physique, could my punch be doubly critical?"

Try it if you think of it.

Li Xin once again mustered all his strength and threw a punch.

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the room...

The air collapsed and burst.

Their momentum has increased by almost double compared to before.

Feeling the effects of his exertion, Li Xin was overjoyed.

He thought to himself that if he had unleashed such a powerful strike when he clashed with Zhang Yuanhao in the Cheng family courtyard, the subsequent sword fight would never have happened.

The palm strike to Zhang Yuanhao's abdomen had already ruptured his intestines and killed him instantly.

"Sure enough, you'll never be disappointed if you raise one attribute to 20 first."

"Visualization".

Li Xin let out a long sigh, and the excitement deep in his heart slowly subsided.

He took out the Divine Scroll and looked at it closely. The incomparably majestic monkey on the silk scroll slowly formed an image in his mind.

First came the monkey head and face, the monkey fur, and the cloak.

Then his eyes shot out golden light, until the Ruyi Jingu Bang gradually took shape.

hum...

Li Xin's entire body trembled violently.

Unlike when I was visualizing Erlang Shen, this time, it didn't hurt at all.

It's just numb.

I'm numb.

He discovered that his body seemed to have turned into earth and stone.

The bones and muscles of his entire body gradually disappeared from his mental perception.

I tried to move a finger, but I couldn't even twitch a hair.

"No way……"

The thought that "Am I going to be paralyzed?" had just arisen in Li Xin's mind when he instantly severed this distracting and demonic thought with a single stroke, suppressing all his panic and maintaining a calm and undisturbed state of mind.

Without self or others, maintain a centered mind.

It seems the frozen ground has thawed, and spring has brought forth new buds.

I don't know how much time passed.

Li Xin, whose mind was numb and who was having difficulty thinking, regained his senses.

I sensed a vibrant life force.

I could feel every cell, every inch of bone and muscle, jubilantly roaring.

Not only was the numbness and stiffness gone, but there was also a strange feeling, as if the bones, tendons, flesh, and air cells of the entire body had come back to life.

He couldn't help but shift his body.

The next moment, he found himself already at the door of the house.

Just as he was about to crash headfirst into the wooden door, he was slightly startled and, without realizing it, flipped over and went out.

His body hovered in the center of the room.

Using the strength of his waist and abdomen, he stretched his arms and kicked his legs, lingering in mid-air for a full second before landing lightly.

"Good heavens, what kind of hang time is this?"

"When Jordan came, everyone else was just a little brother."

Feeling the unintentional forward fall and tumble, as if his body had lost gravity, Li Xin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

His thoughts sank into his mind, and he knew he might have activated an extraordinary [secret technique].

……

Chapter Sixty-Five Somersault Cloud

Sure enough, after activating [The Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Divine Intent]...

Another new "secret technique" has been added.

The thought sank into my mind.

Then I noticed that my condition had changed again.

Name: Li Xin

Age: 12/74

[Constitution: 40.2/20.1] Talent: (Critical Strike)

[Agility: 40.4/20.2] Talent: (Lightness)

[Spirit: 20.1] Talent: (Psychic)

[Martial Arts: Divine Strike. Exclusive Guardian General (Nezha, Third Prince, Divine Intent Level 1, 68%, Secret Techniques: Three Heads and Six Arms, Void Reflection.)]

(Erlang Zhenjun, Divine Intent Level 1, 3%, Secret Techniques: Eight-Nine Transformations, Ruyi True Body.)

(The Monkey King, Divine Will Level 1, 1%, Secret Technique: Floating Clouds Obscuring the Moon, Illusory Flowing Light.)

[Confidence: 0.9]

Faith arises from love, and the mind is boundless.

……

The maximum lifespan has been increased by two years, reaching 74.

Li Xin estimated that this was because his physique had improved, and with the increase in attributes such as endurance and immunity, his body was better able to withstand the ravages of time.

This is easy to understand; a person's physical health index is definitely related to their immunity and self-recovery ability.

Outwardly, they rarely get sick, have a high quality of life, and die peacefully in their old age without suffering.

Of course, the concept of innate lifespan is a very mysterious subject.

Just like human talent, it's completely illogical.

It is not true that a person who is physically strong and free from illness will necessarily live longer than a person who is not in good health.

But generally speaking, there is a category.

The length of one's life should not be compared with that of others, but with that of oneself.

Li Xin only knew that after his physique became stronger, his innate lifespan had indeed increased by a few years, which was very good news.

This proves that as one continues to cultivate and gradually breaks through limitations, there is still hope of living longer and overcoming innate limitations.

With the [Constitution] reaching 20, it may be due to the improvement of innate physical constitution, or perhaps due to the advantage of increased faith power.

As expected, another physical-type talent has emerged.
