Chapter 2, 4-layer passive skill!
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
In the dark, damp, and polluted underground area, sewage flows freely.
Jiang Feng, holding the 30-pound solid steel rod upside down with one hand, groped his way forward along the edge of the pipe.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly.
A body was floating in the puddles at the corner not far ahead.
Jiang Feng leaned closer for a look, and his expression immediately became more serious.
The deceased was wearing the uniform of Donglin No. 2 High School and a badge with two red stars on his chest.
This is a martial artist at the second level of the Body Tempering Realm.
Incidentally, Jiang Feng himself is from No. 13 Middle School, and is also a student at Donglin University, the lowest-ranked university in the country.
"People from the Second Heaven actually died on the outskirts of the Lower City?"
Jiang Feng used a steel rod to pry open the corpse's face, and his breath hitched.
The student had no fatal external injuries, and even his clothes were intact. However, his eyes had ruptured completely like light bulbs, thick black blood was flowing from his seven orifices, his cheeks were covered with disgusting tiny tentacles, and his expression before death was frozen in an extremely eerie maniacal laughter and extreme fear.
"Mental pollution..."
Jiang Feng frowned and made a judgment.
In this world, when facing monsters tainted by starlight radiation, combat strength is never an absolute reference standard.
If your mind and reason, or sanity, are not strong enough, or your attack power is not strong enough to burn the monster instantly, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, as long as your reason is affected by the monster's strange scream for even a second, your brain will instantly collapse and your body will actively mutate and die!
This is a world full of strange occurrences, with an extremely low margin for error, where countless geniuses can perish on the spot!
"Pat...pat..."
Just then, from the darkness around the corner ahead, came a series of heavy, slippery footsteps, accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of bones grinding together.
Jiang Feng disappeared into the shadows of the corner, watching coldly.
Four swaying figures blocked the only way out.
They were still wearing tattered leather jackets belonging to the gangsters of the downtown area. In the dim emergency light, it was clear that the necks of the four men had been torn apart, and their heads, which were originally human, had been deformed into fleshy tumors covered with dark green fish scales and dead fish eyes!
Their fingertips extended more than ten centimeters long, with black, unidentified liquid dripping from them.
Secondary aberration variant
Upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, Jiang Feng actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was just a low-level monster, not too difficult to deal with.
"Hiss... Aww!"
At that moment, the leading mutated monster seemed to smell the scent of living blood and suddenly turned its head.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Feng emerged from the shadows.
Eyes facing each other.
"Heh."
The monster made a nasty sound, as if it had seen its prey and was excited. Its lips split open and spread to its ears, exposing its blood-red teeth to Jiang Feng's eyes.
"Buzz!"
Suppressing his fear, Jiang Feng's internal energy, which had been extremely restrained when he forcefully broke through to the next realm, now surged like an enraged furnace.
"boom!"
His legs suddenly exerted force, shattering the concrete beneath his feet.
At the same instant, he swung the 30-pound solid steel rod with both hands, his movements fluid, and swung it down hard on the head of the deformed creature that was lunging at the front!
"Well!"
The mutated monster roared and instinctively raised its thick arms, covered in barbs and fish scales, to try to block.
"Crack, bang!!!"
But a chilling sound of bones cracking rang out inside the narrow pipe!
Under the overwhelming force, the 30-pound solid steel rod was like a high-explosive bomb that could destroy everything in its path. It not only instantly broke off the mutant's mutated arms, but also continued its momentum, smashing half of its tumor-like head until it was dented and burst open!
The filthy blood mixed with pale brain matter splattered radially onto the surrounding walls.
The leading secondary aberration collapsed to the ground with a thud, barely twitching a few times before dying instantly.
The instant the kill was completed, an extremely pure and scorching current suddenly erupted from Jiang Feng's body!
A dazzling golden light simultaneously flashed across the virtual panel in front of them:
[Kill the Lesser Aberration]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 1%!]
Jiang Feng laughed silently.
At that moment, he could clearly feel his bones trembling slightly, everything seemed to become more intricate, and the flow of blood became heavier and more powerful.
The most obvious feeling is that the 30-pound solid steel rod in his hand seems to have become lighter at this moment.
"They really can be stacked!"
Jiang Feng looked up excitedly at the remaining three mutated monsters.
The death of their companions did not deter them; instead, it unleashed a full-blown frenzy within their cells. The three-headed monsters brandished their claws and charged forward like mad dogs!
"roar!"
Seeing this, Jiang Feng suddenly swung his right fist, the force of which, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed into the chest of the monster charging at the front.
With a loud "bang!", the monster's tough, dark green fish-scale skin exploded instantly, and its sternum was completely shattered! Jiang Feng's violent power poured into its body, turning its mutated internal organs into a puddle of mud.
The second monster suddenly bulged a bloody hole in its back and died instantly!
[Kill the Lesser Aberration]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 1%!]
Without any pause, Jiang Feng used the momentum from his punch to suddenly turn around.
His left hand gripped the shoulder of the third mutant that was charging at him tightly, and his right knee suddenly exerted force, thrusting upwards in an extremely ruthless manner!
"Click!"
A crisp snapping sound rang out. The monster's entire spine was broken off at its chest, and it collapsed like a rag doll.
The last mutant finally felt fear and tried to retreat.
But Jiang Feng had already taken a step forward, locking its throat with one hand, his five fingers tightening like iron clamps.
Another "click".
The last monster's neck was snapped off.
[Kill 2 Lesser Aberrations]
[Base Strength permanently increased by 2%!]
A pleasant notification sound kept ringing in my mind.
As three intense warm currents flowed into his body, a wisp of white, high-temperature mist even rose from Jiang Feng's body!
Feeling the changes in his body, he let out a long breath.
In less than 10 minutes, all four secondary mutants were killed.
"The fourth layer is now passive."
He opened the updated panel.
---
[Jiang Feng]
[Base Strength: 10 (10+0.4)]
[Base Health: 516/800]
[Extraordinary Evil (Gold): Floor 4]
---
Cool!!!
Although it has only increased by 0.4 so far, which is not even comparable to the martial artists' several training sessions, this is only the first Hextech. Jiang Feng believes that as long as he keeps going and stacks up to the later stages, his stats will expand infinitely in this desperate world!
As for increasing base health... Jiang Feng vaguely understood.
Although in this world, as long as a martial artist's blood is burned and circulated, it can spontaneously break through the blood limit.
However... with the Hextech buff, it seems that the slight increase in strength also led to an increase in health.
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up slightly upon realizing this!
This means that once your strength becomes infinitely large in the later stages, your health will also become infinitely large!
"Touch the body first."
Suppressing his overwhelming joy, Jiang Feng squatted down and began rummaging through the four piles of flesh.
"A few anonymous Starry Sea Cards, totaling about three thousand Starry Sea Coins... Not bad."
Putting the spoils in his pocket, Jiang Feng did not linger in the fight and quickly retreated along the same route.
The smell of blood would soon attract even more terrifying mutated monsters from the depths. In fact, with his current stats, he could only kill these minor mutated monsters instantly. If he encountered more than two, or even level one mutated monsters of the same level as him, he would be in trouble.
……
Half an hour later, at a rented room in the Xiacheng District.
After a quick tidy-up, Jiang Feng went straight to the kitchen.
He was starving; this was probably the body's instinctive response to the surge in strength and the compression of its physical density.
That makes sense.
Despite his hunger, he opened the constant temperature chamber and pulled out the ten remaining high-pressure energy bars and two large pieces of stale, industrially synthesized meat.
These junk foods are extremely cheap in the downtown area and contain a faint amount of starlight radiation.
If a student from an ordinary martial arts school were to eat even a single bite, their qi and blood would become extremely disordered. If they were to consume this stuff year after year, they would never be able to become a high-level martial artist.
But people like Jiang Feng, who are from the lower class, have no choice.
If it weren't for the appearance of a cheat system, he would probably have remained a Body Tempering Realm martial artist for the rest of his life.
"Huffing and puffing."
As night deepened, Jiang Feng, not caring much about anything else, began to eat voraciously.
