After three rounds of wild punches, Liu Menglong found his true qi insufficient and could no longer throw wild punches. At this point, there were still over sixty people standing, and his previous frenzied performance had already drawn the attention of the crowd. After the third round of wild punches, Liu Menglong noticed that more than ten people were staring at him, including members of the Golden Snake Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang.

Seeing these ten people intentionally or unintentionally trying to surround him, Liu Menglong felt a sense of dread. He grinned and said, "Everyone, continue, goodbye."

He then used a world-shocking technique—running away, instantly escaping the battlefield.

"Damn, don't run!" The ten people shouted, about to chase after him, but were all blocked by the watermelon knives swung by the members of the opposing gang who hadn't seen Liu Menglong's underhanded actions: "Who's running! I can kill all of you with one swing!"

"Shit!"

Liu Menglong, who had luckily escaped the battlefield, hid behind a stone pillar and excitedly checked his current status.

Liu Menglong: Level 2 (175/600)

Strength: 16

Speed: 16

True Qi: 1/16

Intelligence: 17

Remaining Points: 10

Talent: Auspicious Sense: Innately possesses the ability to sense good and bad fortune, making it easy to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Skill: Wild Punches (6% Beginner): Wild punches can defeat even a master, with no pattern in the attack, leaving the enemy at a loss. Increases strength by 10% and speed by 10%, effective for 30 seconds, no cooldown, consumes 5 true qi per use.

Money: 195

Equipment: Brick (Durability 1/1): A piece of trash, unremarkable, with low destructive power, but very painful when hit. Has a 1% chance to cause a 3-second stun when hit on the head.

Premium Watermelon Knife (Durability 14/14): +10 damage, a very sharp weapon. Successful attacks can cause a tearing effect, causing continuous bleeding for 15 seconds, with the amount of bleeding per second varying based on the size of the wound.

After reviewing his current attributes, Liu Menglong was very excited. Not only had he leveled up to Level 2, but his experience points had reached 175, with each of the four main attributes increased by 5 points, and 10 points waiting to be allocated. His Wild Punches skill had improved from 1% Beginner to 6% Beginner, his money had increased from 30 to 195, and his equipment now included a Premium Watermelon Knife in addition to the pitiful brick.

The attributes of the Premium Watermelon Knife were much better than those of the brick, with a durability of 14 and 10 points of damage, as well as a tearing effect. In a typical online game, it would be considered a high-quality item among the basic items.

After reviewing his four main attributes, Liu Menglong fell silent for a moment, then called out Dragonfly with his mind.

"Congratulations on reaching Level 2, Host." Dragonfly's small figure appeared in Liu Menglong's mind, smiling. "Is there anything Dragonfly can help you with?"

Liu Menglong pointed to his remaining points and asked, "What do you think I should allocate them to?"

Dragonfly's eyes lit up, and she flew to the four main attributes. "Host's current strength, speed, and intelligence are already four times that of an ordinary person, so I still recommend allocating more points to true qi. With a large amount of true qi, you can more quickly improve your skill levels and gain many benefits as your level and permissions increase."

Liu Menglong nodded, first adding 1 point to strength and speed, then allocating all 8 points to true qi. This resulted in a significant change in his four main attributes.

Liu Menglong: Level 2 (175/600)

Strength: 17

Speed: 17

True Qi: 9/24

Intelligence: 17

Apart from true qi, the other three main attributes remained balanced. This was the best way to allocate points, as suggested by Dragonfly. First, true qi should be increased as much as possible, and second, the development of strength, speed, and intelligence should be balanced. If strength and speed were higher than intelligence, they could not be fully utilized, similar to a baby sitting in a room full of gold coins, unable to protect such wealth.

If intelligence was higher than strength and speed, it would waste the potential of intelligence. If intelligence was too high, it would be like having a cannon but only using it to swat flies, a waste of resources. Therefore, the balance between strength, speed, and intelligence was very important.

After reviewing his attributes, Liu Menglong frowned and asked, "How long does it take to recover 1 point of true qi?"

"Before Level 10, 1 point of true qi is recovered every 5 minutes. Before Level 20, 1 point is recovered every minute. Before Level 30, 1 point is recovered every 10 seconds. Before Level 40, 1 point is recovered every second. Before Level 50, 10 points are recovered every second. Before Level 60, 50 points are recovered every second. Before Level 70, 100 points are recovered every second. Before Level 80, 200 points are recovered every second. Before Level 90, 500 points are recovered every second. Before Level 100, 800 points are recovered every second. After Level 100, 1000 points are recovered every second."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Menglong's true qi recovered 1 point.

"I didn't expect the recovery speed of true qi to be related to the level." Liu Menglong exhaled, holding the Premium Watermelon Knife in his hand. "I'll try to level up two more levels today." With that, Liu Menglong stepped back into the battlefield.

In just a short while, only about twenty people were still standing. Liu Menglong was heartbroken; those who had fallen were all experience points!

Knowing that the opportunity was fleeting, Liu Menglong roared and joined the fray, his watermelon knife wildly reaping the lives of members of the Golden Snake Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang. The remaining standing members were the elite of the two gangs, and being elite meant they had committed many evil deeds, as evidenced by the black aura above their heads. Such "monsters" provided experience bonuses, and Liu Menglong saw them only as monsters that could help him gain experience, killing them without mercy.

With strength and speed four times that of an ordinary person, Liu Menglong, wielding a watermelon knife, was like a tiger among sheep, causing chaos and chaos among the members of the two gangs.

"Experience +40, Experience +50, Experience +80, Experience +60... Level up!"

Seeing his experience points skyrocket and reaching Level 3, Liu Menglong became even more excited. Although this was his first time killing in real life, he had no qualms about killing such evil people. With a blood feud, he had sworn to avenge Uncle Guan's death, and he was already prepared to shed blood to kill Long Zongheng. Moreover, he only killed evil people, and these evil people, who had committed many evil deeds in life, could become nourishment for him to enhance his strength, which could be considered a good deed in their lives.

These twenty-odd people, with their "black names," each provided twice the experience points of ordinary "red names." Liu Menglong, like a ghost, charged back and forth, felling twenty-three people in just one minute. Only the leaders of the Golden Snake Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang remained. At this point, Liu Menglong, having gained a massive amount of experience, leveled up again, but he had no time to check, as there were still two people in front of him.

Although these two were only the leaders of small gangs, they were skilled. Liu Menglong wanted to end the fight quickly, but both of them blocked his attacks with their weapons. Realizing they were tough opponents, Liu Menglong focused on eliminating the others first. Now, with no obstacles, Liu Menglong discarded the Premium Watermelon Knife, which had only 1 point of durability left, and faced the two men bare-handed, his eyes cold.

Killing those twenty-three people had brought Liu Menglong many benefits, but he knew they were just ordinary monsters. The two in front of him were elite monsters, and defeating them would definitely bring great rewards. Thinking of this, a glint of excitement flashed in Liu Menglong's eyes.

Compared to Liu Menglong's excitement, the two gang leaders were terrified. This young man was too terrifying, not only incredibly fast but also incredibly strong. Just a swing of his watermelon knife had left clear dents in their steel weapons and caused their hands to bleed. Even the elites of their gangs had no ability to resist, and were all killed within a minute.

When did Tianfu have such a terrifying young man? Could he be from one of the major families?

"Who are you?" The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, who was usually arrogant and unyielding, had no hesitation in attacking the leader of the Golden Snake Gang, but he was now terrified and afraid, swallowing hard. Could next year's today be my death anniversary?

Liu Menglong sneered, said nothing, and immediately launched his Wild Punches, enveloping the two men.

The two leaders didn't expect Liu Menglong to attack without any warning or formalities. They knew they were dealing with a ruthless opponent and realized they were doomed. However, this also unleashed their ferocity. They roared and engaged Liu Menglong in battle.
