[Dungeon teleportation is about to begin...]

[Transmission complete.]

In the backyard, next to the wicker chair.

Lu Qingfeng's figure materialized from the ethereal, and then he skillfully lay down, instantly becoming one with the rattan chair.

Before checking his results, he first opened the Internet Protection Regulations and studied them in detail.

"Isn't this just the punishment for being stuck at a certain level?! I'm so angry and cold! Can't this world be a little kinder to us ordinary players? All I did was work hard to stay at a certain level, and this is the punishment I have to suffer? Waaaaah~" ~>_<~

I was just kidding, I was faking it.

Since continuing to level up significantly reduces gains, and even combat experience is not being gained, and having already tested in the arena that one's current combat power is completely overwhelming against opponents of the same level, especially in terms of foundation...

How can a loose foundation painstakingly cultivated compare to the incredibly solid foundation gained through additional points?

Comprehensive network, add points!

Your level has increased to 6!

[You have undergone a profound professional transformation, significantly boosting your base vitality (maximum health, base saving throws, etc.)!]

Based on your career path and advancement route, your Constitution has been increased by 1!

You have gained 1 skill upgrade opportunity! (Can only be used within the current level range)

[Integration of external systems in progress...]

You have lost the following skills: Shatter LV2, Madness LV2

You have gained a new skill: Armor Piercing Force LV2 (same effect as Shatter)

You have gained a new ability: Battle Spirit LV2 (same as above)

[Detailed assessment of occupational characteristics in progress...]

You have acquired a new class trait: Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound.

Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound (Internal Strength Specialty)

Effect: The internal organs vibrate naturally with each breath, emitting a deep resonance. This continuously and subtly strengthens internal organs and bone density, increasing resistance to sonic and vibrational attacks. In absolutely quiet environments, this sound can intimidate weaker creatures.

P.S.: Extraordinary begins today! —The Demon Lord of Ascension, Founder of the Five-in-One System

Based on your current skill set, you are acquiring highly relevant skills and will be adding them to your skill tree...

[You have acquired the skill: ...!]

Unlike all the previous ones, this time the level upgrade almost made Lu Qingfeng faint.

A familiar warm current swept through my body, my muscles and bones emitted a faint hum, and my blood and qi surged even more vigorously.

With each breath, the body's Qi and blood circulate naturally, creating a subtle resonance with the fighting spirit deep within the consciousness.

He could even hear the extremely subtle yet powerful buzzing sound produced by the friction between his blood and tendons as it surged through his body, like the low roar of a tiger or leopard, or like muffled thunder rolling through the clouds.

"This is... Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound?"

"Yes!"

He tried to actively control his breathing and coordinate it with the circulation of qi and blood, and the buzzing sound became clearer and more regular.

Each breath felt like a beating and tempering of the body from the inside out. Although the effect was slight, it was continuous, and could be considered as gaining cultivation while idling.

However, this would require further improvement in nutrition, but fortunately, the newly acquired skills perfectly solved this problem.

Just as I was getting used to it, the integrated network panel popped up another notification, another series of dense system checks with dark gold borders:

[Character level detected as increased to 6.]

You have successfully ascended the steps of the hero, you have embarked on the path of your predecessors, and are now exploring the unknown!

[Detection indicates that the character has mastered the rudimentary application of a higher-level energy system]

[The character's mental power has been initially condensed.]

[Detection indicates that the character's physical tempering has reached the critical point for the current stage]

[Initiating an integration and assessment of the main force's current power structure...]

[Approved.]

Based on your profession, advancement inclinations, core skills, and current status, you have gained new profession traits:

[Harmony of Qi and Intent (Beginner)]

【Effect:】

The synergy between "Qi" and "Intent" is enhanced. While focused in battle, the rate of Qi and Blood recovery increases slightly, and the power of attacks is slightly increased.

[When practicing the Primordial Breathing Technique or the Battle Soul Condensation Technique, it can slightly promote the growth of another system.]

[Enhanced perception and resistance to effects like "aura" and "pressure," and the ability to attempt preliminary simulation and external projection.]

[Note: Cultivating Qi and nourishing the spirit, using the spirit to control Qi, is the beginning of cultivating both nature and life. Your path has become clearer.]

P.S.: Finally, it looks a bit like a Spirit Master, although the art style is still a bit off—the soul of a high-ranking Spirit Master passing by.

P.S.: Something's not right. Let me take another look. It looks a bit like the barbarian next door—the soul of a high-level Qi cultivator who has returned.

Lu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes. The subtle tiger and leopard thunderous sounds around him gradually subsided and merged into a long breathing rhythm. Under Lu Wei's adjustment, his strength continued to increase continuously.

Looking inward, he felt a new, subtle connection between his "qi" and "intention," as if an invisible bridge had been built between his mind and blood, making their operation more smooth and free.

"Their spirit and will are in harmony..."

Lu Qingfeng grinned, quite satisfied with his newly acquired trait.

"This is how I managed to piece together a main thread from all my cobbled-together abilities."

Just when he thought it was all over and wanted to get used to his new skills.

The network notification is still refreshing, seemingly stuck at some crucial step, and only just appeared now.

[Unknown factors affecting judgment... Judgment failed... Failure elements are being forcibly changed... Judgment successful!]

[Weapon Condensation (Beginner)] → [Weapon Condensation (Proficient)]!

[Improved Performance:]

[The efficiency of nurturing bound weapons is increased by 50%, and the effects of increasing sharpness, toughness, and spiritual affinity are enhanced.]

The probability of activating a weapon's potential or characteristics through long-term nurturing increases slightly.

[New effect: [Weapon Sensitivity]: You are more acutely aware of the subtle states of the weapons you nurture, and can more clearly grasp their material changes and energy flow. This provides a slight boost to your feel and inspiration when forging or repairing this weapon or similar weapons.]

[Note: Through the interaction between man and machine, and the continuous nurturing, your understanding of the machine has deepened.]

P.S.: Young brother, join our glorious sword cultivator family! — Zhuang Chiying, Two Swordsmen

"The feel of the vessel? It smells wonderful."

Lu Qingfeng's fingertips brushed across the dark blade of the Chongyue Sword, and at this moment he could feel the connection between it and himself even more clearly.

"That's all, right? If not, I'm going to try out my new skills."

After a while, seeing that no new notifications popped up on the network, Lu Qingfeng went out and bought two live chickens from the market.
