Chapter 231 Stealth and Research

The virtual mask comes from the remains of the virtual spirit after his death. It has unique functions and Zhou You uses it to change into various avatars.

What’s even more amazing is that different skills and techniques can be assigned to different identities.

For example, the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm has obvious characteristics and is Lu Zhigang's specialty, while Zhou You's original body is good at the Double-Body Tiger Fist.

The third vest, Yan Ping, now has Qi and blood at the 9th level, and his goal is to become a blank martial artist. All the Qi and blood and physical strength gained from his promotion are also bound to this vest.

Zhou You made such arrangements for the sake of confidentiality and safety.

After all, people are likely to use their strongest moves in their subconscious reactions. He cannot guarantee whether the person will subconsciously use poison palms or burst out qi and blood beyond his own level when in danger.

Once his secret is exposed, he will be doomed.

How good it is now. The alias Yan Ping is only one step away from becoming a martial artist. The only thing he lacks is about 30,000 experience points.

A blank martial artist is still a martial artist. He is no match for opponents of the same level, but he can still bully those with weak energy.

Time passed while waiting...

Zhou You guessed that Jiang Hua had been working hard to develop a powerful trick to deal with Jin Heshan.

He would not be completely confident of taking action unless he achieved this goal.

He was also secretly accumulating strength, refining the venom of the viper, and working hard to increase the lethality of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm.

Although I failed to upgrade to lv7, which is the latter stage of Qi and blood, I still got some unexpected gains.

"Attribute: Lurking, Experience Points +3000."

He traveled around all day and practiced palm exercises at night, and suddenly his accumulated experience made a breakthrough and he gained the second attribute.

The first property of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm is corrosion, which has a corrosive and ablative effect on physical entities.

Corrosion is very useful. Even if the enemy wears a mask and gloves to prevent his palm poison, once the corrosion penetrates, all protection will be useless.

Will the birth of a second attribute now bring any surprises?
Zhou You closed his eyes for a moment, and all the details of this attribute came to his mind.

In the dark night without light, sneak like a shadow, leaving no trace; undercurrent surges, breaking the waves silently, traveling thousands of miles in an instant.

The stealth attribute is also an auxiliary function, and its effect depends on the environment.

Once in two specific environments, the power of the Seven-Step Poison Sand Palm will be greatly enhanced.

At night and underwater.

Well, these two types of terrains are perfect living environments for venomous snakes no matter how you look at it!
Mastering the attribute of stealth means that in a specific environment, the power of the poison palm will be directly increased to a higher level.

Although he is slightly biased in certain subjects, he can often surprise the enemy in actual combat.

When Zhou You performed the poison palm, the dark attribute was triggered, and his skin squirmed and changed from the microscopic structure.

The light falls on the body surface and is completely absorbed, making the entire person's outline dark. Especially in the dark night when the light is dim, it is difficult to detect any trace of the person with the naked eye.

The pores on the surface of the skin even replace the breathing function of the mouth and nose, so that you can move freely even underwater.

Zhou You instantly understood that the condition for triggering the dark attribute is that the physical strength can withstand these changes.

Ultimately, it was the chain reaction brought about by the Hunyuan Iron Armor's improvement of physical strength.

In this way, the chances of winning against Jin Heshan are greater.

One day, Zhou You was walking out of the pharmacy when he suddenly thought that he had not visited Master Zeng for a long time.

He passed by a stationery store, bought a set of four treasures of the study, packed them, and carried them in his hands when he visited the house.

"Dujuan, why are you alone at home?"

The Zeng Mansion was quite deserted. The owner, Mr. Zeng, was not at home, and even Pan Jinshan was out on business.

The one who opened the door was the maid Du Juan. Only after she saw that the visitor was Zhou You did she open the door and let him in.

"It's really unfortunate that the young lady is the only one at home. How about you come back another day?" Zhou You thought about it and said, putting down the gift, "Well, when the teacher comes home that day, send someone to tell me."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zeng Ruyu's voice came from behind him, "Brother Zhou, wait a minute!"

Looking back, Zeng Ruyu was wearing a lake green long dress, walking down the stone steps with a look of surprise on her face.

"Why don't you come and sit down? Dujuan, go make some tea!"

Zhou You didn't leave after all, and was invited by Zeng Ruyu to the living room to listen to her story.

"Before my father left home, he told me that if you come to study here, I should pass on the courses I have compiled to you."

A thick stack of manuscripts, filled with research on various ancient seal characters, and even one or two precious rubbings.

"Please ask Miss Zeng to thank the Master for his painstaking work on my behalf."

Zhou You knew very well how precious this stack of manuscripts was and that they could not be bought even with a fortune.

The knowledge that Master Zeng passed on to him was enough to benefit him for a lifetime, and it was even a great tool for his exploration of martial arts.

He took out a yellowed piece of paper, about the size of a palm, with half a blurry ancient word printed on it.

This is a fragment of a character copied from a tree knot, and with his basic knowledge, he could only decipher part of it.

I had wanted to ask Master Zeng indirectly, but since he was not at home, why not ask Miss Zeng in front of me.

This junior sister came from a family of profound learning, and Master Zeng was not disrespectful but taught her everything he knew.

Zeng Ruyu started learning seal script when he was old enough to understand things, and his skills in seal script are far superior to Zhou You's.

"I followed your teachings, and I often searched for old papers in the streets and alleys, in the city and in the countryside. Occasionally, I found a rubbing of a fragment, but I really couldn't tell what it was. Please help me pass it to you, Master, for a look!"

Zeng Ruyu took a quick glance at it at first, but it was too blurry and the paper was not good either.

The business of stone rubbings is very complicated, with numerous counterfeiting methods. What is even more distressing is that some people are not skilled enough and damage precious antiquities, thus wasting resources.

At first she thought that this rubbing was bought by Zhou You from a flea market for a few cents, but after a quick look...

"Ok?"

Zeng Ruyu's beautiful eyes were wide open, and the mottled marks on the rubbings and the slightly blurred details became more and more charming the more you looked at them.

From childhood to adulthood, she has seen countless precious rubbings and has long developed an appreciative eye.

"Brother Zhou, you have found a treasure."

Zeng Ruyu held the rubbing in her jade hands, and was reluctant to let it go. "Where did you get it from?"

"I was passing through a village on my way to the countryside and I snatched it from the stove of an old man who was cooking."

Zeng Ruyu blinked her eyes. Are you kidding me?
The atmosphere of the following chat was very relaxed. Zeng Ru was a beautiful woman who was pleasing to the eye and spoke in a pleasant voice, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhou, have you heard about the mysterious old man curing a crazy girl?"

Zhou You was silent for a moment, then replied, "I've heard of it."

"My father once sent Master Tray out to inquire about the whereabouts of the mysterious old man. He heard him say that he had been to my brother's hometown."

"Yes, but the old man has never been to our village."

Zeng Ruyu said, "Based on his methods, he is most likely a member of the legendary Golden Immortal Sect. My father has been looking for his whereabouts for some time."

"To be honest, my father has admired the Golden Immortal Dao for a long time. If Senior Brother Zhou has any news, please help me keep an eye out for it."

Zhou You nodded decisively, "If there is any news about that old man, I will be the first to inform you."

"Thank you, senior brother."
