Chapter 24 [Metabolism]

The bright moon is in the sky.

On the lonely and deserted street, pedestrians and vehicles occasionally pass by, but when they see something unusual, they will tactfully turn around and leave.

In a world where warriors are rampant, the secret for ordinary people to survive longer is to mind their own business.

Qi Sui pursed his lips tightly, his face was resolute, and he hid his fists behind his waist. Even when facing such a dangerous situation, there was no fear in his eyes.

Instead, there was a kind of... trembling excitement.

His blood was boiling, as the warrior's aggressive gene was gradually stimulated.

Since you have embarked on the path of martial arts, it is inevitable to fight with others. Unlike the situation on the ring, tonight is a real life-and-death battle.

If you win the fight, you can live; if you lose, you will die. This is the "romance" of warriors.

"My friends, I am just an ordinary, low-key, law-abiding high school student. I have no grudges against you. If you want money, just ask. Why do you have to fight like this?"

"We want something that you may not be willing to give us."

The man in black stood about a meter away from the boy. He was not in a hurry to take action, but stroked the iron rod with his palm, his eyes seemed to be sizing up prey: "We need your heart, a fresh heart, are you willing to give it to us?"

"It seems that I am unlucky and was chosen by you, right?" Qi Sui was silent.

The man in black grinned and said, "Yes, a young martial artist like you with a heart close to the entry-level strength is the favorite treasure of Master Mo Liao Si Xiao!"

Mo Liao Si Xiao?

Qi Sui always felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

The man with brass knuckles jumped onto a wall, looked around, and said coldly, "No. 97, don't say anything about the adults. Get rid of this kid quickly. If you keep dragging it out, it will be bad if we attract those bastards from the National Security Bureau."

"It doesn't matter. How can a young boy who hasn't even entered the martial arts realm escape from our hands?"

The man with the iron stick realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

He took a step forward, suddenly raised the iron rod high, and chopped it down towards Qi Sui's head, revealing a fierce and cruel smile: "Little bastard, you dare to trick me, wait for death!"

The iron rod was so powerful that it whistled and tore through the air.

"Mountain Moving Breathing Technique!"

The fight happened in a flash.

Qi Sui breathed as if he had turned into a giant elephant. The slightly cool air rushed into his lungs, causing his chest to bulge slightly. The muscles all over his body were activated at this moment, and his body outline expanded.

He moved his body to the side, and the iron rod brushed against his cheek with a sharp sound. Then he did not retreat but moved forward, pressing into the arms of the man in black.

"beat!"

Electric light and flint!

The man in black knew something was wrong when the iron rod was dodged, but Qi Sui was too fast and punched him hard on the left side of his ribs. The man flew backwards several meters as if he had been hit by a truck.

Even with strong muscles acting as a cushion, the force of over 2000 pounds of the punch still shattered the bones in the body.

"Be careful, the information about this kid's strength is wrong, he is at least at the second stage of strength!"

The man in black collapsed to the ground, holding his ribs. Due to his carelessness, he was completely crippled by a single blow.

"You're very well hidden. I've never heard of someone like you among the talented martial arts high school students in Qinhai City!" The bald man's eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart about how Sun Rong did things.
It just so happened that he had no mission to follow out recently, otherwise the prey might have escaped.

The other man with a knife reacted very quickly.

The biting cold tore through the night, and it rushed towards Qi Sui's neck like a ghost demanding his life: "Brothers, work together!"

呲——

Qi Sui dodged fast enough, but the sharp blade still cut an arc on his neck, and blood oozed out.

If it was a few centimeters deeper, he would have been a corpse.

But he had no time to be afraid, as many sticks and machetes were coming towards him one after another.

Street fights are a dangerous environment that most martial artists are unwilling to face, especially when it is one against many. Even if one is much stronger, he may still be killed in the chaos.

【Focus】lv1, start!
The emotions of fear and panic were forcibly stripped away.

Qi Sui's thoughts became as calm as water, leaving only the most extreme and primitive fighting instinct. In his eyes, the world seemed to be in slow motion.

In an instant, he calculated the best response strategy in his mind.

Regardless of his injuries, he used his hands to block two daggers that were heading straight for his vitals.

Willow leg split!

He raised his knee and kicked, his movements rebuking in one breath.

boom!
"Ah, my goodness!"

The weakest one among the men in black covered his crotch in pain. He could feel his two testicles burst by the kick. He fell to the ground, wailing and twitching.

"Tiger pounce, upgrade!"

lv4→lv5! As the only footwork-based martial art he had, Qi Sui used skill points to upgrade it to the same level as his profession.

My legs felt slightly numb, and a hot force was injected into them. My muscles became harder and harder, as if I had been through a period of hard training day and night without sleep.

"Agility +1!"

The whole process takes less than a second.

Qi Sui seized the opportunity, unleashed a burst of strength from his legs, and flipped forward, his body slithering out from the crowd like a slippery loach.

But many knives and sticks still fell on his back, causing large areas of back muscles to be bruised and blood gushing out.

"Life force -13!"

However, this is already the best result calculated in Qi Sui's mind.

If he hadn't had that little bit of increased agility, he would have been chopped into pieces.

Second paragraph?

So what if it’s the second section!
After all, we are still mortals, and the so-called muscle defense is still as fragile as thin paper when facing a sharp blade.

【Self-healing】lv1, activated!
A mysterious green light appeared in his body, and the injury on his back was slowly healing.

It must be resolved quickly!

When using the two major skills, his mental strength dropped rapidly. If he dragged on any longer, he would faint here without having to wait for the opponent to make a move.

"Such a young second-degree martial arts student can get a huge reward from the adults. The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of us brothers. We must not let him get away."

The man with a knife follows him everywhere.

The blade is sharp and tricky, like a sinister poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity to kill in each attack.

Qi Sui picked up an iron rod with his toes and kept dodging and resisting. It seemed that he was retreating step by step, but in fact his steps were not disordered.

The dagger collided with the iron rod, splashing dazzling sparks.

Qi Sui was holding a blunt weapon, but he still felt the heavy and fierce force coming from the dagger, which made his palm numb.

This person's strength is also extremely strong in the second stage!

"It's now!"

The man with the knife suddenly shouted loudly, using the breathing method to the extreme.

The force penetrating into the dagger increased to a higher level, and it actually directly swung away the iron rod that Qi Sui was protecting on his chest.

The younger brothers behind him cooperated well and hit the boy's chest with an iron rod mercilessly.

"hiss--"

"Life force -16!"

Qi Sui was thrown directly onto the police car, and the impact caused a large groove on the hood. He covered the injured area on his chest, his muscles were obviously bruised, and there was a faint taste of blood in his mouth.

If it weren't for the Giant Elephant Moving Mountains Technique which could improve the body's defense to a certain extent, if he had taken the blow head-on, I don't know how many bones would have been broken.

The man with the knife was experienced and knew very well the principle of taking advantage of your weakness to kill you. He flew by like a black eagle, and the dagger brought frost and stabbed straight into the throat.

"But...it's not over yet!"

"Metabolism lv1", start!

Qi Sui, who was sitting stiffly on the hood of the car, felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate, blood rushing in his body, his internal organs contracting drastically, his fair skin was filled with an unnatural blood-red, and every pore opened wide, exhaling scalding hot mist.

This feeling……

Strength, agility, reaction and other aspects have been significantly improved.

Emotions of frenzy and excitement rushed into the mind like a tide. This wonderful feeling, like the pleasure of love, was intoxicating.

The blow that was sure to hit him was dodged by a hair's breadth, and the dagger stabbed hard into the hood.

"What a quick response!"

The man's pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could react, he saw Qi Sui stand up like a ghost, swinging the iron rod towards his head.

He instinctively raised his dagger to block.

"Crack!"

An incredible scene occurred.

The dagger forged from fine iron was smashed into pieces by the violent brute force, but the iron rod continued to move forward with force, hitting the man's forehead hard, leaving his entire head dented.

"Good, what a strong force."

This was the last thought that came to his mind before he fainted.
