 "It's time." 

Looking at the template in front of him, Chen An's mind flashed with this thought, and then he quickly began to act. 

Compared to the Five Tiger Blade Technique, which has reached its limit in grey and cannot be further improved, the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice martial art has a colorful name and is in a state where it can be improved. 

Chen An did not hesitate and directly chose to confirm. 

A warm stream surged from within his body, quickly rushing out and enveloping Chen An's whole body. 

Boom! 

In an instant, it seemed as if a terrifying force exploded inside Chen An's body, the kind of power was extremely frightening, making it hard to breathe. 

In a daze, Chen An's consciousness seemed to detach from his body and came to an unknown place. 

Here, he was like a puppet, silently practicing. 

Every fist and palm strike was precise, like a robot, without the slightest mistake. 

From the initial simplicity to the later complexity, each strike carried a certain rule, without any errors. 

Various insights gathered in his mind until they exploded. 

Bang! 
In front of Chen An's eyes, the words representing the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice quickly lit up, then dispersed again, slowly disappearing. 

Everything seemed to have ended. 

The next moment, Chen An's consciousness returned and returned to his original place. 

To this, Chen An was not surprised at all. After the two previous experiences, he had already become somewhat used to it, just lowering his head to look at the upgrade template in front of him. 

Name: Chen An 

Attributes: Strength (3.2), Body (3.1), Spirit (2.4) 

Energy Source: 8 
Inheritance: Five Tiger Blade Technique, Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice 
Compared to before, all attributes have been significantly improved, which is quite normal. 

The only thing that surprised Chen An a bit was that the improvement of his body attribute through the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice was significantly greater. 

Previously, his strength attribute far surpassed his body attribute, but now it was almost catching up. 

This indicates that the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice should also have a focus on the body. 

This is a good thing. 

Balanced development is always stronger than specializing. 

Chen An didn't mind, just continued to look at the reminder of the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice. 

As Chen An expected, after the first upgrade, the subtitles for the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice had dimmed. 

This was also normal. 

To achieve a small accomplishment in the Five Tiger Blade Technique only required an increase of two points of source energy, while the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice required four points, indicating its level was far above the Five Tiger Blade Technique. 

If he wanted to bring it to perfection, he would need even more source energy. 

Even if he had enough source energy, Chen An would not dare to bring it to perfection. 

Perfecting the Horizontal Practice to completion would always have some apparent features making it easily noticeable. 

If Chen An were to perfect the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice now and be discovered by Bai Qing, there would likely be some issues. 

Practicing the Five Tiger Blade Technique to completion in half a year is already a sign of genius, let alone practicing the Tiger Leopard Horizontal Practice to perfection in three days. 

You can't just say you're not cheating, right? 

Because it's hard to explain, Chen An never planned to practice this to perfection from the start. 

Bringing it to this level is just right. 

"Continuing to practice this seems to have no effect." 

Chen An thought to himself. 

His talent is limited, and most of his martial arts skills are gained through the upgrade template. 

In the current situation, it seemed that there was no longer much benefit to continue practicing here, the gains were already minimal. 

It's better to develop in other directions. 

For example, collecting more martial arts or finding energy sources to help charge the template. 

Chen An thought to himself. 

Both options were not easy, the former required finding opportunities for someone to teach him, and the latter required actively searching for those anomalies. 

It could only be said that both were very troublesome. 

Thinking about this, Chen An couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the little girl he had met before. 

That girl wasn't abnormal, just seemed possessed by something, causing her to become strange. 

But for Chen An, this kind of thing where he could gain energy without having to fight was simply too good. 

It's just a pity that it's so hard to come across such things. 

Chen An sighed inwardly. 

Standing in place, he pondered for a while, then got up and left. 

No one stopped him from leaving. 

A moment later. 

In a small town in the wilderness, there were already very few people around. 

In recent years, the weather has been changing everywhere, and various natural disasters have been constant. 

This small town used to be lively, but in recent years, various disasters have caused it to become deserted. 

Chen An walked through the small town, looking at the abandoned houses around. 

He had been here before. 

That was more than half a year ago. 

At that time, he had just crossed over and was working under Mei An. 

During a debt collection visit, he followed others to this small town and witnessed a bizarre sight, where a companion was bitten alive. 

If he hadn't been quick-witted that time and realized that something was wrong, he would have already died by now. 

This time he came prepared once again. 

He carried a long knife with him, polished to a shine, and wore a leather armor he had taken from a disciple of the Haisha Gang before, walking cautiously in this area. 

Yes, considering the situation, Chen An ultimately set his sights on those anomalies. 

He was always very cautious about these things, but he had no choice. 

At the moment, it seemed like the only source of energy was these anomalies. 

Of course, since Chen An dared to come here, he naturally had some confidence. 

These anomalies were indeed terrifying. Although their original forms were just ordinary people, once they mutated, they could immediately match martial artists who had practiced for many years. Coupled with their resistance to blades and weapons, dealing with them was naturally troublesome. 

However, although troublesome, it wasn't impossible to handle. 

According to the information Chen An had gathered before, most anomalies that underwent mutation generally only had a strength similar to that of a martial artist at the peak of body refinement, they were just a bit more troublesome due to their fearlessness towards weapons and insensitivity to pain. 

But they generally acted based on instinct, so as long as the method was right, not to mention the leaders of various factions taking action, even a few elite disciples joining forces could deal with these creatures. 

It's just that at this level, Chen An felt that he could still handle it as long as he was careful. 

Walking through the town, Chen An moved forward slowly, observing his surroundings. 

The town was already abandoned, with very few people left around. 

After walking a distance forward, not a single figure could be seen. 

Soon, Chen An arrived at the place he remembered. 

It was a source that existed in this small town, originally belonging to a wealthy family. 

However, at that time, this wealthy family owed money to the Sanhe Gang and suffered miserably, the whole family fled, even the former head of the family was forced crazy, becoming the half-man half-corpse he was then. 

Once again arriving at this place, Chen An looked around.
