"It's already twenty points."

 

Looking at the number that appeared in front of him, Chen An finally smiled.

 

It wasn't easy.

 

He had waited for several months just for this simulation, and now he finally got to use it.

 

And this time, the rewards were much greater than the last time.

 

With a slight bow of his head, Chen An looked at the column of the Five Tiger Knife Technique.

 

At this moment, the name of the Five Tiger Knife Technique seemed to emit a mysterious shine, indicating the potential for enhancement.

 

Without much hesitation, Chen An tried to enhance it.

 

Boom!

 

A violent shock surged, and in an instant, it felt like a warm stream was rushing up from an unknown place and flowing throughout his body.

 

It was an extremely refreshing feeling.

 

Just like last time, this time scenes of practicing the Five Tiger Knife Technique appeared in Chen An's mind, but this time it happened much faster, almost in a flash.

 

A continuous flow of strength poured into his body, giving Chen An a feeling of infinite power.

 

After a while, this feeling finally dissipated.

 

By now, Chen An began to observe his changes.

 

There wasn't much change outwardly, his body looked just slightly more robust.

 

Originally, Chen An's body seemed somewhat slender, but after practicing martial arts day and night, he gradually became stronger.

 

Now, with the enhancement of the Five Tiger Knife Technique, the effect was even more pronounced.

 

At this moment, he seemed very tall and sturdy, exuding a domineering aura without anger.

 

Chen An looked at his hands.

 

After several enhancements, his hands seemed to have become as hard as grinding stones, with a layer of thick calluses on them, and his arms were also extremely powerful.

 

In the past, when he heard legends of warriors tearing apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands, he felt it was exaggerated.

 

But now, Chen An felt that given the opportunity, he might be able to do it himself.

 

This was the change in him at this moment, a significant improvement.

 

Taking off his clothes, subtle patterns appeared on his skin, resembling the patterns on a tiger's body; although faint, they were noticeable.

 

These were tiger stripes, a sign that only appeared when one had mastered the Five Tiger Knife Technique to a high level.

 

Even in the entire Fengcheng County, there seemed to be very few who had mastered the Five Tiger Knife Technique to this extent.

 

But Chen An had achieved it.

 

"My current strength, compared to Master Mei, how is it?"

 

Feeling his current power, Chen An couldn't help but think of this.

 

After coming to this world, he had only seen two skilled experts, Master Mei and Master Liu; therefore, he could only compare himself to them.

 

However, he hadn't seen these two exerting their full strength, so he couldn't make a detailed comparison.

 

Of course, he hadn't used his full strength either.

 

"According to what I've heard, mastering the Five Tiger Knife Technique to perfection means achieving complete physical refinement, which is rare even within the Three Rivers Gang."

 

Chen An thought to himself, "Master Mei and Master Liu should also be at this level, but their specific combat power can only be known by facing them."

 

He hadn't seen Master Liu's full strength, nor had he exerted his own full strength, so he naturally didn't know who was stronger.

 

However, it was certain that they were both at a similar level.

 

Mastering physical refinement was considered a pinnacle achievement in Fengcheng County, making individuals like Master Mei formidable; others would probably not be able to handle Chen An without his help.

 

This thought brought some comfort to Chen An, giving him a sense of security.

 

And after enhancing the Five Tiger Knife Technique, he still had some unused source energy.

 

Chen An looked ahead.

 

Name: Chen An

 

Attributes: Strength (2.8), Endurance (2.4), Spirit (2.4)

 

Source Energy: 12

Inheritance: Five Tiger Knife Technique

 

Projection: Charging Up

From the template, it was clear that both strength and endurance had improved significantly.

 

However, eight points of source energy had been consumed.

 

The consumption of source energy showed the nature of martial arts progression; the further one progressed, the harder it became, which was in line with the law.

 

But at this point, the Five Tiger Knife Technique had completely turned gray in Chen An's eyes, indicating that it could no longer be further enhanced.

 

"It's almost reached its limit."

 

Feeling his current state, Chen An thought to himself.

 

The highest level recorded in the Five Tiger Knife Technique was his current state, and continuing to practice it would only solidify it, without the possibility of further improvement.

 

Of course, it was also possible that he didn't have enough source energy to continue the enhancement.

 

But for Chen An, continuing to practice the Five Tiger Knife Technique wouldn't yield much more benefit.

 

"If there is a chance, I should look for other martial arts."

 

Chen An thought to himself.

 

Different martial arts had different training methods and effects on different parts of the body.

 

Chen An's idea was simple; since the Five Tiger Knife Technique had reached its limit, he should continue to collect other martial arts to practice.

 

However, this goal would not be as easy to achieve in this world.

 

"I'll have to think of ways in this regard in the future."

 

Standing in place, he sighed quietly, thinking to himself.

 

The idea of collecting other martial arts had crossed Chen An's mind before.

 

But at that time, he still had room for improvement with the Five Tiger Knife Technique, and since acquiring martial arts inheritances was difficult in this world, he didn't push for it.

 

But now, it seemed necessary.

 

Putting on his clothes, he walked towards the door, ready to go to the nearby base of the Three Rivers Gang to gather some information.

 

Just as he was about to leave, he paused.

 

In the distance, two men were walking towards him.

 

The men were not old, in their early thirties, and tall and burly in stature.

 

As they approached, their faces were still smiling, as if they were chatting about something, looking very relaxed.

 

Chen An watched them, his body instinctively pausing, but he continued walking calmly.

 

Their pace was fast, and they soon crossed paths, walking side by side.

 

The distance between them was slowly closing.

 

"Attack!"

 

At that moment when they were close to each other, a low shout came from the side, piercing directly into Chen An's ears.

 

Two fists swung forward without hesitation, heading towards Chen An's head.

 

From the whistling fists, it could be seen that both men were martial artists, and their strength was considerably stronger than the four Chen An had defeated earlier.

 

Clang!

 

The sound of a long knife being unsheathed suddenly rang out.

 

In mid-air, a blade of light swept past, with a crisp sound echoing around.

 

In an instant, the long knife descended upon the two men, its speed exceptionally fast.

 

The unsheathed long knife moved with tremendous force, slashing at the men at an astonishing speed.

 

Bang!

 

One of the men was sent flying, with a deep gash appearing on his chest.

 

Under the clothes, a layer of iron-studded leather armor could be seen.

 

"Wearing armor on purpose?"

 

Watching this scene, Chen An frowned, but he didn't hesitate.

 

One fist came thundering towards him, as if it was going to strike his head.

 

Seeing Chen An's lack of response, the man's face showed a hint of joy.

 

However, he had celebrated too early.

 

With a light sound, a powerful hand grabbed his arm forcefully.

 

The terrifying force made him change color, and he let out a scream as he was thrown into the air.

 

Through the chaotic vision, he could vaguely see a tall man ahead quietly unsheathing his blade, with a cold look on his face.

 

The next moment, Chen An struck with his blade, beheading the man directly.

 

To avoid the man wearing armor as well, Chen An decided to go for the head to save his strength.

 

By now, the other man had also realized the situation.

 

Looking at the headless corpse that had fallen silently in front of him, the burly man was shocked, realizing that things were not as expected.

 

The man in front of him was no ordinary elite gang member, as he had effortlessly taken down the two, even beheading one of them within a few moves. This level of skill was only slightly inferior to the bosses of the Three Rivers Gang.

 

Realizing he was in trouble, the man thought to himself, "It's a trap!"

 

But once this thought crossed his mind, he had no intention of stopping or trying to fight back.

 

"Wanna run? It's too late!"

 

Watching the man's movements, Chen An coldly chuckled, lifting his long knife and swiftly striking.

 

This time, he didn't hold back at all, and the long knife pierced the man's body, coming out through his chest, making it impossible for him to survive.
