Surviving in a chaotic world and becoming a saint by adding points

Chapter 19 Talent

It turned out to be the case.

I see!!!

Looking at the talent list on the panel, a glint of light flashed in Chen Ran's eyes.

This talent arose because when he touched the blood of the savage bear, a phantom image of a savage bear flashed through his mind.

In other words.

Can living monsters provide you with skills?

What surprised Chen Ran even more was that the red energy bar next to the blue energy bar was already full.

Beneath the blue seal, something blurry is brewing.

But for some reason, it hasn't been developed yet.

This is why Chen Ran went to collect the blood from the bear's corpse.

If there weren't so many people around, he would have already drunk the blood of the demon beasts to verify his conjecture.

"The blue seal enhances the power of qi and blood, tempering the entire body."

I'm really looking forward to what the red energy bar will condense into.

There are new talents, but we'll have to wait until we get back to test them.

………….

Three poles in the sun.

In the dense forest, everything was finally packed up.

The group set off, slowly heading towards Qinghe County.

The return journey was uneventful.

Upon reaching the city gate, Chen Ran, eager to return and test his talent, parted ways with Meng Zhenyue and the others.

I sped home.

Chen Ran couldn't wait to start studying it.

"Savage?"

"Does it refer to your own skin, which has characteristics like a wild bear?"

The panel is not intelligent; regarding talents, besides knowing that it is called "Barbarian Skin," there is no other information.

"It seems we have no choice but to use the brute force method."

Chen Ran focused his mind and gaze on his talent.

The moment Chen Ran looked at it, a bronze color slowly appeared on his skin.

"Is this what they call barbarian skin?"

After glancing at the color of his skin, Chen Ran went to the kitchen, took out a cleaver, and held it against his arm.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

As the force gradually increased, and I used about 80% of my strength, I finally felt a sharp pain in my arm.

Take the cleaver down, and a white mark appears where you just chopped.

At the same time, Chen Ran felt a wave of dizziness.

Feeling the depletion of his qi and blood, Chen Ran quickly removed the barbarian skin.

After sitting on the bench for a while to catch his breath, Chen Ran's eyes were full of excitement.

"Isn't this a perfect complement? Blue Seal increases Qi and Blood, while Barbarian Skin consumes Qi and Blood."

"The defense has increased by about twice as much as before."

"This talent is practically tailor-made for me."

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

After testing the strength of the talent, a rumbling sound came from my stomach.

Feeling the hunger, Chen Ran immediately took out wild boar meat and steamed buns and started eating.

After a while, the hunger subsided, and Chen Ran finally recovered.

"But this is too much of a drain on my energy! My entire life force can only last for a minute at most?"

Chen Ran frowned, a hint of helplessness flashing through his mind.

He took out a drop of the bear's blood from his robes and put it in his mouth.

I glanced at the panel.

The area below the blue mark was still blurry.

The red energy bar remained unchanged.

I don't know if it's in a state of flux or for some other reason.

Chen Ran stored the bear's blood carefully, preparing to conduct the experiment after changes appeared below the blue mark.

"With a strong build, it's best to find a body-strengthening technique to bring out your full potential."

Unfortunately, cultivation techniques aren't so easy to find.

Chen Ran sighed inwardly.

Even when Zhou Changfeng was teaching them Tongbei Quan, Chen Ran wanted to become stronger, tougher, and more powerful.

Unfortunately, even when Tongbei Quan is mastered to perfection, it can still split mountains and shatter rocks.

But the part that was tempered was ultimately only the arms.

The refining process is limited in other places.

If you practice blindly without knowing the proper techniques, that would be a mistake.

That's no different from courting death.

"Knock knock knock!!!"

Just as Chen Ran was pondering.

A knock on the door broke his thoughts.

Hearing this voice, Chen Ran frowned.

Upon opening the gate, he found two men dressed as constables, looking Chen Ran up and down.

"Are you Chen Ran from the Tongbei Boxing Gym?"

The constable spoke, his words carrying a hint of aggressiveness.

"It's me, what can I do for you, officers?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you where you were last night?"

"I am now a retainer of the Meng family in the North District. Last night, I went to the outskirts of the city with the Meng family's guards."

"Oh? So you weren't home last night?"

When they heard that Chen Ran was still a retainer of the Meng family in the North District, their expressions changed, their previously aggressive attitude softened considerably, and their words became less sharp.

"Yes."

"I understand. I will verify the follow-up matters."

The main reason I called you here today is to ask where you were last night.

Last night, the leader of the Poison Scorpion Gang in Rat Street died in his bed; his head had been severed by the assailant.

After giving a brief explanation, the constable turned and left.

They walked towards Chen Ran's neighbor's house.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and a gaunt man opened it.

Chen Ran didn't look into what happened after that. He closed the door expressionlessly and shook his head.

"This world is truly chaotic."

After casually making a comment, Chen Ran went back to the stone, began to hug it, and then slowly lifted it up.

This is a little trick that Zhou Changfeng told Chen Ran: under heavy pressure, the circulation of qi and blood can be 30% faster than usual.

Only martial artists who have broken through limits can play like this.

Once one's Qi and Blood have broken through their limits, they are already among the elite in the entire Qinghe County.

………….

Nanming Street.

Inside a dimly lit room.

A figure covered in tattoos was carrying a box and approaching the far end of the room.

"The leader is waiting for you inside. Please go in."

Without saying a word, Shadow pushed the door open and entered.

Inside the sealed room, a ghostly green light flickered, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"Boss, this is that damn head, take a look."

After saying that, Shadow put the box down.

"How's the investigation going?"

"In Rat Street, there is a Tongbei Boxing School disciple named Chen Ran who has had a conflict with the Poison Scorpion Gang disciples."

All evidence suggests that Yao Xiao's leg was broken by the other party.

"Shadow said casually."

"Oh, really? He's ruined our deal twice. We're just in need of a martial artist with strong blood and energy. Let's go with him."

"Boss, here's my payment."

"One hundred taels, and a fifty-year-old Zishan ginseng. Go to the Jinghuo Department to get it."

"Peak of first blood, plus all your underhanded tricks, no problem, right?"

"That's definitely no problem. The opponent is just a little thing who has only been at his limit for less than three months. I've been honing my skills for six years since I reached my first blood level, and I'm already at my peak."

"If it weren't for the lack of crucial healing items, I would have already broken through to the second blood level."

At this point, Shadow seemed to have thought of something, and his face darkened.

"After polishing it for so long, you should have learned your lesson by now."

After this, I will fully support you in breaking through to the second level of blood. If you succeed, you will serve under me.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!!"

The shadow rejoiced.

"Don't let me down, hurry up as much as possible."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

………….

As the rosy dawn slowly rose, the earth came alive.

Early in the morning, Chen Ran was dressed in a light blue short-sleeved shirt and brown-black cloth shoes.

Seeing that his hair had grown a bit long in the bronze mirror, Chen Ran picked up a knife and shaved his head short in a few quick strokes.

After doing all this, Chen Ran opened the door and headed towards the Tongbei Boxing Gym.

It's not advisable to work in isolation; learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is the only way to improve.

Just as Chen Ran was walking through an alley full of yellow earth, several figures were crouching in the middle of the alley.
