Translator: 549690339
Memory!
Countless strange yet familiar memories emerged.
That feeling!
It was like someone being locked in a closed room, ceaselessly practicing a skill until they made a breakthrough.
Upon gaining these memories, a sense of loneliness rose in Xu Mu’s heart.
He took a moment to calm down.
Xu Mu clasped the Squeeze the Finger Jue technique, starting to try out his newly enhanced Light Body Skill!
Buzz!
An invisible force bubbled up beneath his fingernails, seeping into his limbs as he cast his skill.
The force was invisible and substanceless, but it was indeed real!
Very soon, the power and his body melded together perfectly.
In an instant, Xu Mu felt as if he had dropped a huge burden from his shoulders, his body feeling incredibly light.
As if he was about to float!
Of course, this was just an illusion!
The Light Body Skill wasn’t about filling up his body with air. Rather, in a way Xu Mu didn’t yet understand, it removed some of the weight from his body.
Thud!
With a slight movement, Xu Mu instantly moved several meters away!
And he, had not even used his full strength.
Next, Xu Mu moved back and forth within the room, testing the power of his refined Light Body Skill.
In his ears, was the sound of the whistling wind!
He was in a small room, but creating a sonic boom with his movements showed how fast Xu Mu was.
“This feeling!”
“It’s even stronger than the ‘qinggong’ described in wuxia novels of my past life!”
Xu Mu silently calculated in his mind.
The proficiency level of his Light Body Skill had at least reduced his body weight by half!
Imagine, a person who weighs fifty kilograms, possessing the speed and explosive power of one who weighs a hundred kilograms, what would that feel like?
The impact force of a bullet is no more than 300 kilograms!
But 300 kilograms of force, concentrated on a tiny little bullet!
It could tear apart the air and pierce through steel!
The principle of the Light Body Skill was somewhat similar to that of a bullet!
The only difference was…
Xu Mu couldn’t shrink his body, meaning there would be a huge air resistance!
Once he fully assimilated these enhanced memories, Xu Mu opened the system again to make progress.
[Light Body Skill +10]!
[Light Body Skill +10]!
[Light Body Skill +10]!
…
[Light Body Skill Perfection; 0/800]
With the Light Body Skill at perfection, Xu Mu felt as if he was freed from gravity’s constraint.
With a slight exertion of strength in his feet!
Thud!
The shadow disappeared instantly and reappeared in the corner of the room.
Looking at the wall so close to him, Xu Mu let out a sigh of relief, “I almost hit the wall because I was moving too fast!”
The room was too small, Xu Mu didn’t dare to make any bigger movements, just moved back and forth for a while to get used to it and then stopped.
Xu Mu estimated that this time Light Body Skill had reduced his body weight by about 70 percent! He had only achieved a 20 percent improvement from the proficiency level, but his speed had astonishingly increased by more than double.
This speedy growth, Xu Mu thought about it and realized!
If you look at it as a whole, the Perfect level reduced the body weight by only 20 percent more than the Proficiency level.
However, if you consider the remaining body weight, the Perfect level only had half of the Proficiency level left.
So, a twofold increase was not surprising!
In the future, the speed improvement could exponentially increase!
“My speed now is at least three times what it was before. Unless other cultivators at the same level fly with a talisman, they can only eat my dust!” Xu Mu excitedly thought.
After all, this is the Cultivation Realm, it’s better to fly no matter how fast you can run!
But for the current Xu Mu, this was more than enough.
“Also, if I was to hold a sharp weapon and charge at the enemy with such speed, the explosion of energy would be equally astonishing!”
Take this into account, the Light Body Skill not only could be used for running away and traveling, it could also be an extremely powerful means of combat.
Xu Mu has already started to fantasize about the power of a master level Light Body Skill.
He had dinner.
After helping his wife take care of their daughter for a bit, Xu Mu once again entered the utility room.
“Once I have money, I must hire a few servants to take care of Ying Ying!”
Recalling the exhausted face of his wife, Xu Mu’s heart ached.
He verbally agreed to take care, but in reality, aside from cooking, he couldn’t help with much.
Plus, since he is now focused on improving his skills, even the time spent together was greatly reduced.
“I must swiftly advance my power to alleviate our hardships soon!”
Xu Mu didn’t dare to assure nor gamble on when his wife would be unable to bear it.
Poverty brings couples troubles!
Don’t test human nature with money!
Add points!
Add points!
Add points!
Strength is everything!
Enduring the discomfort in his brain, Xu Mu upgraded his Light Body Skill to Master level in one breath.
The room was too small, he didn’t dare to experiment with it anymore.
After casting the Light Body Skill, he just attempted waving his arms a few times.
“Huh? This feeling!”
Xu Mu furrowed his brows and kept waving his arms faster.
A series of intense sonic booms were heard within the room.
When Xu Mu exerted his maximum force, the air was suddenly torn apart, creating a loud crackling sound.
Just as if porcelain was shattered!
He stopped and slowly raised his trembling arm, which was in a state of bloody mess.
Damn!
Xu Mu didn’t anticipate this at all.
After his speed had reached a certain extent, the air resistance would in turn inflict damage on his body.
Right now, he was like a paper-mache car driving at the speed of an F1 car.
If he burst forth with all his might, he feared that he would disintegrate on the spot.
“No, I can’t even burst forth completely!”
“The air resistance on my body far exceeds the one on my arms, my strength is utterly insufficient to push my body to break through the air resistance!”
This time the speed enhancement, might not even reach 30 percent.
“Damn it! If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have added so many points! What a waste!”
His physical condition might be hard to enhance for a while, unless he found another Body Refinement Skill to cultivate.
“Well, forget about it, I’ll consider this problem later. At least so far, it should be enough!”
