Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 51 Intelligence on Changning Ward

Thunderclap Palm Technique (High-grade Yellow Rank, Characteristics: Mountain Crash, Frenzied Strike, Proficiency (5/20), can be upgraded)

Han Yi looked at the line of text on the system panel, his eyes flashing with a sharp light from time to time.

After the system deduced the mortal-level 'Mountain Collapse Fist Technique' and the low-grade yellow-level 'Thunderbolt Palm Technique', it actually deduced a high-grade yellow-level martial art - Thunderclap Palm Technique!

Moreover, under Han Yi's mental perception, the characteristics of the Mountain-Crushing Fist—shattering rocks and splitting the ground—were all integrated into the 'Mountain-Crushing' characteristic under the system's deduction, and its power seemed to have increased even more.

As for the new feature of this 'Thunderbolt Palm Technique', it's the Frenzied Strike.

Han Yi felt the blood and qi flowing violently between his palms after circulating his internal energy, as fierce as lightning. "Let's give it a try!" Han Yi thought to himself.

His palms suddenly swelled up to the size of fans, with faint red spots appearing on the palms and backs of his hands.

Han Yi knew that this was because the blood and qi were circulating too quickly.

"drink!"

Han Yi suddenly let out a low shout, his voice deep but full of imposing force.

He was shirtless, facing the stone lock he used for training, and kept striking it with his palms.

Although the name of this stone lock contains the word "stone," it is actually made from a large piece of black iron ore, cut from a single piece, making it extremely hard.

Standing over a meter tall and weighing a thousand kilograms, its weight was astonishing. It was a tool Han Yi had specifically purchased for his daily cultivation after breaking through to the Blood Refining stage. *Crackling sounds*

The initial palm strike was only slightly faster and more powerful, causing the stone lock to shake violently and a layer of dust to fall in a flurry.

But one palm strike after another, each strike continuous, gradually, Han Yi's hands moved like lightning, leaving only afterimages.

Stone dust flew everywhere, the stone lock shook even more violently, and shallow palm prints began to appear on its surface.

One palm strike, two palm strikes, three palm strikes...

Gradually, with Han Yi's blood and qi recovery ability as a Blood Refining stage martial artist, he felt that he could not keep up with the blood and qi consumption of each palm strike. Sweat began to flow down his forehead, and heat slowly rose from his hair.

However, as the consumption of qi and blood increased, the palm print on the stone lock continued to deepen.

The image of the boy constantly striking with his palms in his memory kept overlapping with Han Yi's current state, and Han Yi's palm techniques became more and more fierce.

"Hah!!" Han Yi shouted, panting heavily as he unleashed his final palm strike.

Boom!

The stone lock was actually pushed back several meters by his palm strike.

Right in the center of the stone lock, there was a palm print about an inch deep, and the edges of the print showed visible palm lines.

Han Yi's bare hands are already so powerful; if he were to wear suitable gauntlets, their power would likely be even more astonishing.

Huh, Huh

Han Yi took a few deep breaths, slowed his movements, and gradually calmed his breathing.

The sweat on his head kept evaporating, forming a thin layer of white smoke that was visible to the naked eye.

Han Yi stood still, but his mind was racing: This 'Thunderbolt Palm Technique' truly lives up to its reputation as a high-grade Yellow Rank martial art. With my current Blood Refining stage cultivation, even after activating the Berserk Strike characteristic, I can only unleash a little over thirty palm strikes!

After activating the Frenzy Strike trait, if the power of the first strike is 1 and the cost is one unit of health, the power of the second strike will be 2 and the cost will also be two units of health. Similarly, the health cost and power of each subsequent strike will double!

If I had enough qi and blood to support me, I wonder if I could defeat a martial artist in the Meridian Opening stage with a single palm strike... Han Yi thought to himself.

Let me show you my current overall strength!

Han Yi glanced at his stats casually; they had changed from '42~47' to '46~67'.

Although Han Yi's defense stat didn't change much, his attack power ceiling increased significantly!

This value is already comparable to that of a mid-stage Blood Refinement martial artist.

Moreover, this is only his bare-handed strength. If he were fully equipped, his overall strength would probably change even more!

"Try taking out the Blue Jade Sword?" Han Yi suddenly thought of something and took out the Blue Jade Sword from inside the house.

Swish!

The longsword was drawn, its cold light sharp and fierce.

Han Yi glanced at his own stats again: '46~78'!

"Now, should I go explore the Strange Affairs Room? My Yuan Power is running low, so if there are any suitable demon missions, I can give it a try."

Han Yi stood in the courtyard, lost in thought.

He remembered that the last time he saw martial artists in the Strange Affairs Room, most of them were in the early stage of Blood Refinement, and their average stats were only between 30 and 50.

Since those martial artists are capable of dealing with yin entities tainted by yin energy, and my current attack limit is already 78, it should be more than enough.

"It's settled then. First, we'll find a blacksmith to reforge the Blue Jade Sword, then we'll buy a pair of fine gauntlets, and then we'll go check out the Department of Extraordinary Affairs." Han Yi had set his goals.

The gauntlets he had previously exchanged for with contribution points in the guard team were punctured by Wu Awei with the Blue Jade Sword and urgently needed to be replaced. However, he was not used to using the Blue Jade Sword, so he decided to play it safe and improve his overall strength.

"Senior Brother Pan, shouldn't you be arriving soon?"

Han Yi sat in the courtyard and rested for a while. He looked at the sun and realized it was almost noon.

thump, thump, thump

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Just as Han Yi remembered this matter, Pan Sheng arrived.

But why is Senior Brother Pan knocking so gently today? Could it be that he's been drained of his energy by the ladies at 'Drunken Immortal Pavilion'?

A wicked thought popped into Han Yi's mind.

"Coming, coming!" he called out as he walked toward the courtyard gate.

crunch

The gate opened, but there was no one there.

"Ok?"

Is someone playing a prank?

This was Han Yi's first reaction.

"Here, here?" Han Yi looked over upon hearing the voice.

He saw A-Qiu squatting behind the door, waving her little hand at him.

A-Qiu was dressed in tattered gray linen clothes, her small face was dark, but her thin, dark face had a pair of large eyes. Her dark pupils darted around like abacus beads, as if she was plotting something mischievous again.

"How did you come?"

Han Yi frowned slightly. Why did A Qiu come to see him?

"Brother Yi, didn't you say you had news to share in exchange for some reward money?" A Qiu said to him with a grin.

"What news do you have?"

Han Yi had only said it casually; he didn't expect A Qiu to have any important information.

A Qiu lowered his voice and said with a serious expression, "Recently, quite a few people in Changning Ward have fallen ill with fevers!"

"..." Han Yi was somewhat speechless. He shook his head and said, "What kind of news is this? Isn't it normal for someone in the neighborhood to fall ill?"

"no the same!"

A Qiu's face grew anxious, and he hurriedly said, "Xiao He is usually very strong, but who knew that after he went to a family's yard to 'get' something, he kept coughing when he came back."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yi fell into deep thought.
