1047 Profound: Descending Dragon Palm

"Yes, teacher. Dales personally guided me himself, allowing me to benefit greatly."

Wang Yu followed the script given to him by the system and repeated them word for word.

Even though those words were scripted, there were some truths in it. After getting taught a harsh lesson by Dales, not only did Wang Yu's Martial Arts improve, he had a new understanding of how shameless an NPC's mouth can be. It could be considered a great harvest.

"You did well brat." The Hermit gave Wang Yu an appreciative glance, before saying in a long-winded manner, "An enlightened person seeks strength from within, while an ignorant one seeks strength from external sources. The quintessence of a martial artist does not lie in those godly weapons or unbreakable armours. Rather, it lies in one's ability to understand the opponent's weaknesses and exploit them. May the spirit of the Martial God be inherited by you…"

As he was speaking, the Hermit extended his hands and a ray of blinding blue light emerged from the palms of the Hermit, gently floating to the top of Wang Yu's head and entering him.

\u003cSystem Notification: You have completed the Awakening Quest "Trial of the Brave" and have received the inheritance of the Martial God. Your training shall break through all mental barriers, achieving even greater heights.\u003e

\u003cSystem Notification: You have received a permanent incremental BUFF, [Martial Enlightenment]: All attributes permanently increased by 100%, Experience +xxxx, Fame +xxxx…\u003e

\u003cSystem Notification: You have learnt an Awakened ability, [Profound: Descending Dragon Palm]

\u003cSystem Notification: Level up… Level up… Level up…\u003e

When Wang Yu was at LV50, even though his Experience was locked, it was still accumulated and saved. The Experience reward for successfully defending the Capital City as well as the experience for killing the Heavenly Dragon was more than enough for Wang Yu to raise his level to LV55.

Of course, comparatively, the increase in his attributes brought about by the increase in his levels wasn't very significant. At the moment, what shocked Wang Yu the most was that after completing his Awakening, all of his attributes had actually doubled.

It was no wonder that the system said the gap in a player's abilities before and after Awakening was like that of Heaven and Earth. It seems like it did not solely boil down to the difference in equipment, but rather the leap in realms and attributes had resulted in such an insurmountable gap.

"This feeling…"

After feeling the increase in his attributes, Wang Yu couldn't help but reveal a rarely seen smile on his face.

As a Martial Arts expert, the game had placed an extremely harsh restriction on Wang Yu's body's capabilities. Even though in the eyes of other players Wang Yu was undefeatable, only Wang Yu himself knew just how much of a restriction was placed on him.

After all, being unable to bring out one's full potential was an extremely stifling feeling. Now that Wang Yu was Awakened and had his attributes doubled, the current Wang Yu could finally match with his body's capabilities in real life.

Thus, Wang Yu felt as if he had finally broken free from layers and layers of shackles, a sense of comfort permeated through his entire body.

It should be noted that a person's body was capable of adapting very well. After being placed under harsh conditions for a long period of time, the body would gradually adapt to it.

After being restricted by the system for so long, Wang Yu's body had long ago adapted to these conditions. Now that his attributes have greatly increased, the current Wang Yu was similar to someone that had just undergone heavy weight training. All of his movements felt as light as a feather.

After experiencing countless slaughters and battles in the game, Wang Yu's combat standards had constantly been tempered. The suppression by the system on Wang Yu had also allowed Wang Yu to gain a deeper understanding towards his combat techniques. These enlightenment and improvements would definitely not have been possible in the real world.

Even though Wang Yu had merely experienced an increase in his character's attributes, after undergoing "heavy-weight training" for so long, Wang Yu had long ago broken past his own body's limits. After regaining his own body's capabilities, regardless of whether it's in-game or in the real world, Wang Yu's battle strength has received an enormous boost.

After getting used to his own character, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Thankfully, Wang Yu had decided to play this game due to the stress from the real world. Otherwise, given his original Martial Arts realm, he definitely wouldn't have made so much improvement in such a short period of time.

Seeing Wang Yu's expression, the Hermit smiled and asked, "How is it? Do you feel yourself brimming with strength that you've never once felt before?"

Upon hearing what the Hermit said, Wang Yu turned around and earnestly cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance!"

For other players, the process of Awakening was to let their in-game characters gain a boost in their abilities. However, to Wang Yu, it was an extremely beneficial experience. This word of thanks wasn't only directed towards the Hermit, but also towards the system.

"Haha! Just remember to bring a few more bottles of good wine the next time you come to visit!" the Hermit said in satisfaction.

"Of course of course! You can have these few bottles first." Wang Yu took out a few bottles of good wine and placed them into the hands of the Hermit.

Upon seeing the wine, the Hermit instantly ignored Wang Yu's existence, turning over and continued to indulge in his drunken stupor.

…

After appraising the increase in his attributes, Wang Yu closed the attributes tab. Just when he was about to go look for some mobs to test his strength, the guild chat started becoming extremely rowdy.

Upon opening up the chat and reading it, it seemed like Vainglory had just finished his Awakening Quest and was boasting about his capabilities to Wang Yu.

"Uncle Bull look, how is my [Thunderclap Thee Kicks]? Are you able to defend against it? @Ironbull!" Vainglory sent a screenshot of his newly attained skill.

"Dog sh*t!" After looking at the Vainglory's screenshot, Ming Du crudely said, "You have the face to send a screenshot of such a trashy ability? Take a good lock at this daddy's [Thunder Cloud Storm], it's an S class god-tier ability!"

"Cheh, isn't the [Thunder Cloud Storm] the legendary fake god-tier ability? My [Death Waltz] is the true god-tier ability alright?"

"Look at my [Storm Prison Strike]…"

"Look at my [King Yama Annihilation]…"

The bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect did not have any other interests apart from comparing amongst each other. The moment Vainglory sent a screenshot of his ability along with some arrogant lines, the rest immediately felt undignified, and started to send their own screenshots of their Awakened abilities. The Guild Channel instantly became a chaotic mess.

"All of you received a new skill?"

After seeing everyone else sending their never before seen abilities, Wang Yu curiously asked in the Guild Channel.

After reading Wang Yu's message, everyone in the chat simultaneously replied, "Awakened ability. Don't tell us you didn't get it. Hurry up and send it over for us to see."

"Awakened ability… I seem to have an impression of receiving a new skill called [Descending Dragon Palm] or something."

Thinking up till this point, with a wave of his hand, Wang Yu opened up his skill tab. With a quick swipe downwards, he promptly found the newly added ability [Profound: Descending Dragon Palm]. After which, he sent the screenshot over to the channel.

In an instant, all those people that were busy boasting about their abilities instantly went quiet.

[Profound: Descending Dragon Palm]: A Martial Artist's ultimate Awakened ability.

With this single palm technique that no Demon or God could defend against, he had single-handedly driven back the Gods and caused the Demons to retreat, establishing himself as a peerless being in this world.

"This… this, Old Bull, is your ability?"

After recovering from their shock, everyone couldn't help but ask in surprise.
