The power verification was complete.

Next was the most important thing… Proficiency acquisition!

He opened the attribute panel and scrolled down to the Source Power Skill section.

Lu Ming focused his eyes.

Explosive Fist (Novice) (2/100).

Proficiency increased by one point!!

And…

Hand-to-hand Combat LV32 (2030/3200X+30)!

“With the 3.2 times proficiency gain from Explosive Fist, 1 gained 1 proficiency point with just one punch.”

“And it wasn’t even a full-powered punch.”

If i farm like this, the speed of improvement will be remarkably fast.”

“Furthermore, the explosive punch increased the Hand-to-hand Combat proficiency by 30 points.”

This is just practicing in the air. If 1 enter actual combat, I can’t even imagine how fast the proficiency gain will be!”

Without exaggeration, this Explosive Fist directly put Lu Ming’s attribute gain on the super-fast lane.

It was evident that in the future, Lu Ming needed to acquire more non-breathing method source power skills. This will be more important than anything else!

However, this was a matter for later.

At this moment, Lu Ming wanted to test how far he could cultivate the Explosive Fist!

“Keep going!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!

Continuous explosions echoed outside Good Hope Village, even alarming Huo Sheng and the others.

They came out to take a look, but upon seeing Lu Ming practicing punches, they naturally lost interest.

Brother Lu was training hard…

Although this scenery was beautiful, if seen often enough, it lost its novelty.

On the other hand, Lu Ming was constantly paying attention to his attribute panel as he punched.

Explosive Fist Proficiency +1.

Hand-to-hand combat proficiency +30.

“Push harder!

Explosive Fist Proficiency +2.

Hand-to-hand combat proficiency +50.

“Full power!”

“Boom!

The explosive force of the punch traveled a hundred meters, even shaking down a small building.

The obvious gain was that the training effect of full-powered punches was much higher than that of restrained punches!

Explosive Fist Proficiency +3.

Hand-to-hand combat proficiency +80.

With just a few punches, his Hand-to-hand combat proficiency had reached LV33 (0/3300)!

Strength and Stamina +3.3!

More importantly, the proficiency of the Explosive Fist had been further increased by 0.1 times!

After dozens of punches, the Explosive Fist leveled up!

Explosive Fist (Mastery) (2/1000): World Realm Source Power Skill. After mastering it, it significantly enhances the punching power. You have mastered the usage of Explosive Fist, and your overall attributes +100! Your free attribute points +100!

On top of the original gains, the three-dimensional attributes increased by 70! The free attribute points also increased by 70!

A boundless power seemed to be bred within Lu Ming’s body, driving Lu Ming’s height up another notch!

He had been lifted to a shocking height of 2.5 meters!

At this moment, Lu Ming only felt his cells cheering and his bones crackling. The comfortable sensation even made Lu Ming moan!

“This is the thrill of becoming stronger!”

There was nothing that made Lu Ming happier than this!

It was all because of this proficiency…

Seeing the words (2/1000) on the screen, Lu Ming felt a slight sense of foreboding.

“Tenfold increase, isn’t this a little exaggerated…”

“But it doesn’t matter. Isn’t it just training? I’m most familiar with this.”

Thinking of this, Lu Ming wanted to throw another punch, but he suddenly felt a wave of emptiness in his body.

He was hungry.

And tired.

The cultivation of Source Power Skills was ultimately different from ordinary skills.

Lu Ming was undoubtedly a stamina monster. When he chopped down the Blood Flesh Mother Tree, he did not feel too tired even after four hours of continuous chopping three times a day. But after just a few dozens of explosive punches, Lu Ming felt mentally fatigued and physically drained.

More accurately, it was not a physical exhaustion but a deeper level of fatigue.

If another Awakened who had also trained in Explosive Fist witnessed this scene, he would be utterly shocked.

This was because Origin Energy Skills not only consumed physical strength, but also the mystery factors in the Awakened one’s body. And these factors had a total quantity.

To replenish the consumption, one either needed time to slowly recover or to consume Zombie Crystals (Source Stones).

Generally speaking, the higher the Awakened level, the more mystery factors their cells contained.

A normal Level 1 Awakened could not use Source Power Skill like the Explosive Fist—even if it was just the lowest level of Source Power Skill..

To be able to use Explosive Fist, one had to be at least a Level 3 Awakened individual, and one punch would be enough to leave him weak, having used up all the Mystery Factors in his body.

It could be said that Lu Ming was indeed special.

This uniqueness had its good and bad sides…

For example, Lu Ming could not find any zombie crystals to replenish his expended Mystery Factors…

Lu Ming was a Level 1 Awakened individual.

The lowest-level zombie crystals were also Level 1.

Lu Ming would advance after eating Level 1 Zombie Crystals, but Lu Ming did not want to advance.

Even the lower-grade Zombie Crystals were gone… so replenishing the mystery factors within his body with Zombie Crystals was simply not an option.

Sitting on the ground, Lu Ming pondered deeply.

“Hmm, this feeling of exhaustion is somewhat similar to what Chencheng and Wei Lan experience when they deplete their superpowers strength, excessively.”

“Therefore, Source Power Skills not only consume physical strength, but also superpower strength.”

In layman’s terms, superpowers and source power skills shared the same blue bar.

Since Lu Ming temporarily didn’t want to consume Zombie Crystals, how quickly he could restore the “blue bar” would determine the speed of his Explosive Fist training.

After some thought, Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

He opened the attribute panel and looked at the words “Basic Breathing Technique (Novice) (1/100)”.

“Isn’t this a ready-made solution?!”

Currently, the Basic Breathing Technique had been popularized in the gathering place.

After numerous validations, it was proven that the Basic Breathing Technique not only improved an Awakened individual’s level but also replenished their depleted superpowers.

Of course, the effect was not as fast as swallowing low-level zombie crystals.

However, it was indeed much faster than natural recovery.

In general, using the breathing technique to restore superpowers was most suitable for Chengcheng and Wei Lan.

Every time they assisted Lu Ming in training, both of them would deplete their superpowers, and then they could quickly recover using the Basic Breathing Technique.

Research had also shown that the Basic Breathing Technique had a particular characteristic.

That was…

When the superpower strength (the mystery factor in the body) was at its peak, it prioritized increasing the upper limit.

When the superpower strength was not at the peak, the priority was to replenish the depletion.

In other words, there was no risk of advancement if Lu Ming circulated the Basic Breathing Technique after exhausting his superpower strength!

Previously, Lu Ming did not dare to cultivate the Basic Breathing Technique because he did not have the means to deplete his superpower strength. After all, the awakening of superpower required him reaching level 2.

But now, Lu Ming had fulfilled this condition!

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he circulated the breathing technique in a specific rhythm.

Very soon, Lu Ming felt a warm airflow entering his body through his pores.

About ten minutes later, Lu Ming opened his eyes, and the fatigue from before was instantly swept away.

He opened his attribute panel and looked at the Basic Breathing Technique column.

Basic Breathing Technique (Entry) (2/100).

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Lu Ming was elated.

Source Power Skill: Explosive Fist, consumes superpower.

Then, followed by using the Basic Breathing Technique to restore his superpower.

Adding and subtracting, it worked out perfectly.

The proficiency of both Source Power Skills could be increased.

Without a doubt, this was a rather perfect cultivation cycle.

“Let’s call it the Source Power Skill Cultivation Cycle.”

Lu Ming began to come up with names.

It was evident that Lu Ming’s mood was particularly bright!
