Uaurgh! Mu Cheng vomited his breakfast in the forest. Only now did he remember the experience of holding a man's throat, and how fragile it was, a single clench was all it took to break a man's neck. What was worse was, with his high intelligence, his memory was greatly enhanced and he recalled the whole scene in great detail, where he had crushed over 20 men's' neck as easily as breaking a small twig.

Half an hour later

"I guess having good memory has it's disadvantages. too..." Mu Cheng complained. He had fully enjoyed the improved memory with an intelligence with 3 points. Reading books and memorizing them had never been easier. Now that he had an adult's body with intelligence over 4. He experienced the disadvantage fully.

"Sigh, luckily no one died. The 20 plus bandit's loot should be more than enough compensation for their injuries." Mu Cheng had swept his gaze over all the villagers before he left and was glad that no one had died.

"Well, where should I go now...?" Mu Cheng muttered as he pulled out a bamboo basket from a bush.

Due to his nauseous state earlier, he had quickly escaped the scene. But now he felt awkward if he were to return and ask for directions to the closest city.

"Well, forget about it, I'll just fly a bit, I'm sure it won't be hard for me to find people from a high vantage point." Mu Cheng smiled. He really enjoyed flying above the skies.

Even though flying on planes was common on Earth. Mu Cheng, although having flown on planes, he had never enjoyed flying as much as he did as a bird. When he flew, there was no support from his feet, the strong wind blowing against you as if to block your advance, and with each flap of his wings gave a strong sense of freedom.

Mu Cheng transformed into a large falcon, which then grabbed onto the bamboo basket on the ground, with its claws and flew up to the sky.

With Mu Cheng allocating AP to his physique as a falcon, the over 1 m wingspan bird had turned into 3 m wide wings. All the birds flying in the sky would give way as if they had seen the King of The Skies. Mu Cheng indulged in the feeling and look at the birds below it with disdain.

A few hours later.

The sun had just set. A 3 m large falcon holding a bamboo basket with its claws landed on the ground.

Swoosh! Unimaginably, it warped and turned into a 6-year-old boy. The boy quickly pulled out a robe from the basket and wore it.

"Huh, seems like I habitually turned into a kid again. Well, nevermind. This is actually better. I'll get adopted soon. Hehe!" Mu Cheng muttered with a laugh.

Mu Cheng had gotten used to sleeping in the wild. He climbed up to a tree, pulled out a vine from the basket and tied himself firmly to a large branch. Lying down on the branch, he pulled out a wolf fur and covered his body. Slowly, Mu Cheng fell asleep.

Early morning

Mu Cheng woke up excitedly. He was finally free! He had been looking forward to upgrading his Tai Chi for so long.

"Although I can't confirm about the abundance of vitality in the air. There should be something true about it since the Re-allocator really shows that I gain more XP in the Tai Chi skill during the first quarter from 4 am in the morning. This sounds similar to how martial arts novels describe the vitality as something the body can absorb and strengthen the body. Maybe I can even generate the legendary Qi, or Internal Energy!" Mu Cheng though excitedly as he quickly brought up the golden finger in his mind.

Tai Chi Lv3(15/400)

Mu Cheng originally had 205 AP, and after harvesting the Tiger Bandits, Mu Cheng had gained a whopping 234 AP, a total of 439 AP!

"Upgrade to level 10!" Mu Cheng ordered the golden finger.

Swoosh! The skill blurred as it's level climbed from 3 to 10.

Tai Chi Lv10, as if the skill had a qualitative change, the skill blurred once again.

1 second, 2 seconds... 10 seconds. Finally, the skill turned clear again.

Tai Chi Grandmaster Lv1(15/1,000)> Harmony Lv1, Energy Control Lv1, Minute Subtlety

Mu Cheng had used 262 AP, he now had 177 AP left.

Several decades' worth of memories flooded Mu Cheng's mind. Mu Cheng's body turned numb as he fell down to the ground. Though, numb throughout his body, Mu Cheng seemingly felt a warm current slowly nudge and wash over his body. If Mu Cheng could have seen it with his naked eye. Then he would have seen numerous warm dots appear from the sunshine, which then seemingly attracted to Mu Cheng's body, like a water stream scrubbed Mu Cheng's body as bits of the stream got absorbed by his body.

Only an hour later did Mu Cheng recover.

"Eh? It's already 5 am? Ugh! If I only knew this would have happened, I would have woke up an hour earlier." Looking at the sun's position, Mu Cheng noticed that an hour had already passed. Since the quarter which vitality was most abundant had already passed. Mu Cheng gave up on practicing Tai Chi for the day.

"The Tai Chi skill has transformed!" Mu Cheng inspected the skill and noticed the change.

"This feeling...! My body's limit has loosened! This is harmony of the body?" Mu Cheng muttered.

Mu Cheng felt a big change in his body and quickly looked over at his attributes.

Strength 4, Agility 4.3, Vitality 4.7, Intelligence 4.1

"How did my attributes increase so much? I didn't put any AP in attributes just now. Don't tell me. Could it be that if I upgrade a martial art skill, it could very likely increase my attributes?" Mu Cheng was shocked.

Due to his sudden increase in attributes, Mu Cheng spent an hour getting used to his new changes.

"So this is Energy Control. I can literally feel the wind's energy when it blows against me." Mu Cheng muttered as he swung his arm.

Swish! Swish! Mu Cheng's arm moved so fast the wind was cut.

Suddenly, Mu Cheng's arm moved even faster, so fast only a thin black line was visible, but no swishing sound was heard.

"With Energy Control. I can even control external energy? I can ignore air resistance by controlling the wind to guide my arm forward." Mu Cheng said in joy.

"What is the extent of my Energy Control?" Mu Cheng rolled a 3 meter in diameter boulder up a slope.

Slightly pushing it, Mu Cheng hurriedly ran down to the bottom and waited for the boulder to roll towards him.

Rumble! Seeing the boulder finally arrive, Mu Cheng moved his left arm counter-clockwise in a circular motion as he slightly touched the boulder.

The boulder that was just about to his Mu Cheng spun around and suddenly rolled to his left side.

"So hard and forceful attacks by simply concentrating the kinetic force in an attack is no longer a threat to me." Mu Cheng smiled. This was the way martial artists utilized softness to deal with hardness.

"And Minute Subtlety... I have complete control over every single millimeter of my body? No, it's even stronger! I can almost feel, no, sense every single cell in my body." Mu Cheng closed his eyes as he felt his body with his senses.

Boom! Suddenly Mu Cheng flashed forward several meters, only a tiny finger-sized deep hole was visible where Mu Cheng's right foot had been.

"Amazing! By concentrating all my strength into one point, my body flew forward like a cannonball! Using this method, my speed has increased by three-fold!" Noticing the distance he had flown from a single kick of his foot. Mu Cheng was ecstatic.

" If I have a few more martial arts, then... Maybe I should find a martial art sect instead? No! I still no too little of this world. A noble house will have more information and powerful influence. I can achieve much more with more connections and the strength of many. Well, it's not that I want to laze around and live in luxury." Mu Cheng thought excitedly, then shook his head as if to shake off his previous thoughts.
