MTL - Final Priesthood

Chapter 22 Imaginary Enemy

 After this quick addition, Lu Yuan clearly felt that he became more "relaxed".

 The muscles of the arms and legs become tighter.

 The slight "bloated" feeling brought about by the two-point increase in strength disappeared at this moment.

 He took out a ruler from the drawer, tied one end of the ruler with a thin string, and hung it on the edge of the desk.

 Because of the smooth surface of the ruler, under the action of its own gravity, the thin wire binding it is constantly sliding upward and breaking free.

Lu Yuan placed **** on both sides of the zero mark of the ruler, not looking at the thin lines, but only staring at the ruler.

 The moment when the thin line completely breaks away from the ruler and the ruler slips and droops.

 He caught the fallen ruler with his fingers together.

 “Less than two centimeters”

Lu Yuan looked at the test results and felt clear.

“The speed of nerve response has improved a lot.”

 This is very significant.

If it's a track and field competition, you have a long way to go and you can rush out of the starting line faster than others the moment you hear the gunshot.

  If it is in actual fighting, it means that when the opponent punches him, Lu Yuan can react faster than before, dodge, and then counterattack.

“I’ll find time to test it tomorrow and see how much my running speed has improved.

Well, there are also two improvements brought by strength.”

Lu Yuan took off his shirt, walked to the full-length mirror in the bedroom wardrobe, and looked at himself in the mirror.

 After adding two points of strength, the muscles in his arms, chest and abdomen, waist, back and thighs became much fuller.

 The outline is clear and the lines are smooth.

 The whole person looks quite strong.

 Before adding agility, it needs to be a little more exaggerated, like those fitness experts on the Internet.

Now he is much better, he looks more muscular when he takes off his clothes, but still looks thin when wearing clothes, which is more in line with Lu Yuan's own aesthetics.

Who would have thought that a month ago, the boy in the mirror was a "thin dog" with barely two ounces of meat in his body?

“The strength at 11 o’clock has at least doubled my strength compared to the previous 9 o’clock.

Can easily break the bones of the wrist and send an adult man weighing more than 100 pounds flying several meters away like a sandbag.

 I don’t know how high your punching power is?

 Let’s go to the martial arts school to test it out tomorrow. "

 Thinking back to the battle in the alley, Lu Yuan still can’t forget the thrill of crushing a group of men in raincoats.

 Just like an adult fighting a group of children, his absolute strength advantage completely makes up for his lack of skills and experience.

"correct!"

While Lu Yuan was "appreciating" his figure, he suddenly remembered.

 “I still have three skill points that are useless!”

I have a lot of basic professional skills, and I feel like the gains are not bad with experience, so I have been reluctant to use them.

 I kept saving until 3 o'clock, but I couldn't save anymore.

“Of the four basic fighting skills, only basic grappling has not reached lv3. After raising basic grappling to lv3, the prerequisites for unlocking the core skills of the [Fighter] profession should be met.”

Lu Yuan has been looking forward to this for more than half a month.

Ben decided to try to upgrade and unlock tonight, but the battle in the alley made this idea even stronger in his mind.

 “Improvement, basic grappling.”

 One skill point is added to the basic grapple, and the original lv2 basic grapple immediately becomes lv3, and even the original experience value is retained.

 Same as when he tried to use skill points to directly improve the physics subject under the [Student] profession.

 After consuming the skill points, Lu Yuan immediately felt a flow of fragmented memories pouring into his mind.

Those are some memories of me practicing basic grappling.

These images are integrated into Lu Yuan’s body and are deeply imprinted on his muscles.

 It's like he really went through "hard training" for a long time, and then upgraded the basic grappling from lv2 to lv3.

“Not only did I master the essentials of existing grappling techniques more thoroughly and proficiently, but I also learned several new techniques that Cheng Peng had never taught me.

 It was so naturally mastered by me, it’s really magical. "

Lu Yuan casually made a few basic grappling movements, marveled at the magic of the career panel, and then couldn't wait to check the panel again.

 “It really happened!”

As expected, under Lu Yuan’s surprised gaze, a bit of gray quietly appeared on the [Fighter] career panel.

 Concentrate your attention and get the prompt immediately—[Professional core skills to be unlocked]

 Is it unlocked? of course!

Lu Yuan added 1 skill point without hesitation.

 Soon, the gray spot on the panel lit up.

 A new skill is completely revealed—

 【Core Skill: Imaginary Enemy (Active)】

 【Effect: Construct the opponent in consciousness and deduce the direction of the battle】

Lu Yuan looked at the introduction of the effect of this core skill, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

 “imaginary enemy”

 “Fantasy battle.”

　　Seems very interesting.

“If it goes as I imagined, maybe it can just make up for my shortcomings in actual combat.”

 As for the specific effect, you will know after trying it.

Lu Yuan took out his training mat as usual. This time he did not go to the living room, but spread it out in the bedroom.

Long-term exercise has left this old mat covered with dark brown sweat stains that cannot be removed even with vigorous scrubbing with washing powder.

　　Not caring about the distance, he settled into a more comfortable position and sat down on the mat.

“Since we are fighting in our consciousness, we should close our eyes.”

Lu Yuan thought, closed his eyes, and then silently activated the skill in his heart.

 “Come on, my fantasy rival!

 Activate, [Imagine Enemy]! "

 Rain, downpour.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes suddenly.

 Suddenly I found myself in a narrow alley.

 Continuous pouring rain fell from the night sky above his head, soaking his whole body, but he didn't feel any coldness at all.

 Two beams of orange light shine directly from the front.

Lu Yuan subconsciously squinted his eyes and saw a figure standing quietly between the beams of light.

Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, he was still extremely sure.

 The other party should be the middle-aged man who had just fought with him.

“So, I returned to the rainy alley an hour ago.

 The imaginary enemy constructed in self-awareness. It’s still him! "

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and gently wiped away the rainwater that flowed from his forehead to his chin.

 “Then come.”

 He twisted his neck and moved his limbs.

 After adding two points of strength, the body becomes more and more toned, and in the process, there is a sense of relaxation and relaxation.

 “Let me knock you down again!”

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly ignited with fierce fighting spirit, and he kicked the ground with his right foot, creating a splash of water on the ground.

 The whole person rushed towards the figure in front of the lamppost like a runaway dog.

 The increase in agility made Lu Yuan clearly feel that his sprint speed had improved.

“It seems that my abilities in the conscious world completely reflect reality.”

 This made Lu Yuan more determined and more willing to fight.

 Because he had already defeated the opponent once, so when he encountered him again, his mentality was no longer as nervous and fearful as when he was in the alley.

  It’s more of a verification.

 Verify your current strength and what level it can be regarded as!

Facing the rush of people running away from the road, the figures in front of the car lights also started to move.

"boom!"

 The two figures collided fiercely, and countless water splashes exploded from the center of the collision.
