High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Over the next few hours, they moved between three locations.

The second stop was a dry riverbed, where they encountered a group of mutated hyenas: four Tier 1 hyenas and fifteen hyenas that had not yet reached Tier 1.

Song Chen single-handedly killed three Tier 1 monsters, while Li Wei and the other three, with his support, worked together to kill one.

The third stop was a rocky area where they encountered a nest of mutated foxes.

It was only at the first level, but it was extremely cunning and almost caused Sun Qiang to suffer a great loss.

Song Chen chased him for a thousand meters and managed to cut him down.

The fourth stop was a last-ditch effort before nightfall, where they encountered a small group of lone mutated sheep on the outskirts of an abandoned village.

That's right, even the herbivores have mutated, sporting a pair of half-meter-long sharp horns and looking incredibly fierce.

Four are at the first rank, and more than twenty are not at the second rank.

This time, Li Wei and her three companions had developed a tacit understanding. They took the initiative to engage two of the remaining two, allowing Song Chen to quickly deal with the other two, and then turn around to finish them off.

As the sun completely set, the armored vehicle finally turned around and drove back to the camp.

Inside the carriage, five people sat leaning against each other, covered in blood, but their eyes shone with light.

Everyone had a great time today; it finally felt like real combat training.

"How many did you kill today?" Li Wei asked.

"I counted, Song Chen alone killed at least ten Tier 1 monsters."

Li Wei counted: "No, I counted, eleven."

……

Song Chen didn't speak; he closed his eyes and was looking at the system.

Adding the 1 point left over from yesterday, the total is 55 points.

The amount given by a Tier 1 beast varies, but on average it is around five points.

With such a large sum of money, which one should I choose?

Song Chen was carefully considering his options and didn't have time to talk to them.

Lost in thought, I found myself back at the military camp.

"We've arrived." Zhang Zhenyun's voice interrupted his thoughts.

The car was parked deep in the camp, where there was still that row of simple houses.

"Get a good rest tonight, and continue tomorrow."

Zhang Zhenyun was the first to get off the car.

Everyone got off the bus and went back to their rooms.

Song Chen went into her room, locked the door, and sat on the bed.

late at night.

He took a deep breath and brought up the system interface.

His gaze slowly moved across the store list.

A Qi and Blood potion costs 20 points per bottle, so he can buy another bottle to increase his Qi and Blood value.

But he didn't rush to buy it. His gaze moved upwards and landed on the "Special Abilities" section.

Superpowers.

This is the most mysterious and powerful force in the martial arts era.

Not all martial artists can awaken superpowers; out of a hundred martial artists, only about five or six can.

The type and strength of a superpower determine the upper limit of a martial artist's abilities.

Song Chen clicked on the "Superpowers" section.

The screen flashed, and a dense array of options appeared before my eyes.

[Flame Manipulation (Rank C) - 40 points]: Can manipulate flames for attack and defense; power increases with ability level.

【Frozen Ice (Rank C) - 40 points】: Can freeze ice, freeze enemies, and create ice walls.

【Storm Summoning (Rank C) - 40 points】: Can summon a small storm to affect enemy actions.

[Lightning Control (Rank C) - 40 points]: Can unleash lightning attacks with extremely high speed and immense power.

[Earthwalking Technique (Rank C) - 40 points]: Allows you to briefly burrow underground, increasing your defense.

【Wind Wings (Rank C) - 40 points】: Can condense wind wings for short-term flight.

……

Song Chen read through them one by one, and each superpower captivated him.

But he can only choose one.

His gaze darted back and forth among the various superpowers, finally settling on [Lightning Control].

Lightning.

It is the fastest, most powerful, and has a built-in paralyzing effect.

It's a perfect match for his swordsmanship.

He recalled the novels he had read in his previous life, about those top masters who could imbue their weapons with the power of lightning. With a single swing of their blade, lightning crackled around them, and enemies would crumble at the mere touch.

That's it.

He tapped his finger in the air.

[Would you like to spend 40 kill points to purchase Lightning Control?]

confirm!

Purchase successful. 40 kill points deducted. Remaining kill points: 15.

A flash of light.

Song Chen felt an invisible force surging into his body, flowing along his meridians, and finally converging near his heart.

That power was both intense and icy, carrying a kind of indescribable tingling sensation.

He looked down at his hands, where tiny sparks of electricity flickered faintly at his fingertips.

Crackling sound.

With a soft click, the lightning disappeared, but the feeling remained.

He clenched his fist, a thought forming in his mind.

"Sizzle—"

A bolt of lightning, about the thickness of a thumb, shot out from the palm of his hand, struck the wall, and left a charred mark.

Song Chen was stunned. Was this a superpower?

He tried again, this time with more skill.

He controlled the lightning to dance on his fingertips, like a nimble little snake.

He could sense that he could send the lightning bolt flying out at any time, if he wanted, and strike any target within thirty meters.

Open your personal panel and you'll find a new section at the top.

Song Chen

Rank: First Rank

Qi and Blood Value: 1.1

Mental Power: 0.7

Superpower: Lightning Control (This power can be upgraded by consuming 1000 Kill Points)

System Level: 1 (The system can be upgraded with 5,000 kill points)

1000 PM?

Song Chen gasped, but quickly smiled.

It would be great if it could be upgraded.

If C-rank is this strong, how powerful must B-rank be? And A-rank? And S-rank?

He seemed to see himself wielding lightning and roaming the wilderness in the future.

We gathered at 6:00 AM the next morning.

As usual, Zhang Zhenyun leaned against the car smoking and waiting for everyone to arrive. When Song Chen walked over, his eyes changed.

He stared at Song Chen, his brows furrowed.

"you……"

Song Chen stopped in her tracks.

Zhang Zhenyun took two steps closer and looked him up and down.

"You smell like... lightning?"

Song Chen lied without batting an eye: "Captain has a good eye. He awakened his superpower during yesterday's combat."

Zhang Zhenyun nearly dropped his cigarette, his voice trembling: "Awakened superpowers? You? Yesterday?"

Li Wei and the others also gathered around, their faces filled with shock.

Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise: "Song Chen, you've awakened a superpower? What kind of superpower? Let us see!"

Song Chen raised his hand, a thought forming in his mind.

"Sizzle..."

A bolt of lightning shot from his fingertips, exploding into a small spark in the air.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Lightning, it's lightning power!"

"Holy crap..."

Zhang Zhenyun stared at the spark for a long time, then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Wow, kid, your Qi and Blood levels skyrocketed overnight, and you awakened your superpowers the next day? Are you trying to fly to the moon?"

Song Chen withdrew his hand: "Just lucky."

Zhang Zhenyun gave him a deep look.

Good luck?

He had spent ten years outside the city and had seen people with good luck, but he had never seen anyone with such good luck.

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he leaned closer, lowering his voice:

"You little brat, do you have some incredibly powerful master backing you? You were so weak before because he was testing your character. Now that the test is over, he's starting to give you resources?"

Song Chen was taken aback, then realized that this was a good idea, much more reliable than picking up fruit from the ground.

He didn't answer directly, but simply nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhenyun revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Having said that, he didn't want to get involved anymore. Who doesn't have secrets?

People with strong curiosity usually don't live very long.

"Alright, get in the car."
