Chapter 39

Listen, listen, listen, the dragon lies low, this week I only seek recommendation votes.

...

At midnight, the Tianfu city area was still lit up with neon lights, countless men and women indulged in the glittering nightlife, unable to extricate themselves. This was the peak time for crime. In this city filled with desire, a hunter appeared, elusive like a dragon.

In a dark corner, a towering man leaned against the wall, gripping a mace, his fierce face drenched in cold sweat, filled with terror: "Who are you? I have no grudge or enmity with you, why do you want to kill me?"

In front of him, a black figure, half a head shorter, stood in the shadows like a ghost, wearing a panda mask, revealing only a pair of cold and disdainful eyes. He held a broadsword in his hand, ready to strike with the force of a thunderbolt.

With a loud crash, the broadsword collided with the mace. The immense impact split the giant's palm, and the mace, stained with blood, flew out of his hand.

The giant grunted, a疯狂的神色瞬间闪过他的惊恐眼神：“老子跟你拼了！”

Without his weapon, without his last defense, the giant's ferocity was unleashed. He roared and charged at the black figure like a bear.

The black figure remained calm, the broadsword in his hand vanished in an instant, and he muttered, "Chaotic Punches!"

In the next moment, a flurry of punches enveloped the charging giant.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—

Punches rained down on the giant's body, but his body turned the color of an ancient bell, hard as steel: "Hahaha—, I have the Golden Bell Cover protecting me, you can't kill me!"

The giant laughed maniacally as he was pummeled by the black figure, but he suffered no damage. However, very strangely, although the giant was not afraid of the punches, he continued to be beaten without retaliating.

As the saying goes, "A long defense will eventually fail." After about ten minutes, the giant's face turned red, then purple, his brow split open, blood gushing from his nose, and his body bruised and battered. He swayed on the verge of collapse in the flurry of punches.

"Chaotic Punches proficiency reached 100%, upgraded! Congratulations, host, Chaotic Punches upgraded to intermediate level.

Chaotic Punches (Intermediate 0%): Chaotic punches can kill even a master, attacks are unstructured, leaving the enemy at a loss, strength increased by 20%, speed increased by 20%, effective for 30 seconds, no cooldown, consumes 10 points of true qi each time."

The voice in his mind was so beautiful. Liu Menglong checked his remaining true qi, which was exactly 10 points. What was he waiting for?

"Chaotic Punches!"

With the first punch landing on the giant's face, the giant finally let out a scream. But this was just the beginning. With a series of continuous loud thuds, for the next half minute, the giant was beaten from head to toe, lying on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.

"This is impossible..." The giant spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Liu Menglong in terror: "You... your punches are even heavier, and your speed is even faster. Who... who are you!?"

"Dead men don't need to know too much." Liu Menglong's broadsword reappeared in his hand, and he slashed down. Blood spurted, and the giant's head rolled, his eyes wide open, unable to close in death.

"Killed the leader of the Diamond Gang, experience +3500, money +25000, obtained the steel mace, obtained the 7th level of the Golden Bell Cover. Due to his heinous crimes, his name is as black as ink, experience increased by 4 times, experience +14000, experience is full, upgraded!"

With a golden light of leveling up, Liu Menglong's overall state reached a new peak.

Enjoying the pleasure of leveling up, Liu Menglong didn't forget to allocate all remaining points to true qi. Another attribute change further strengthened Liu Menglong's power.

Since absorbing Yue Xi's ability and leveling up to 12, the difficulty of leveling up for Liu Menglong has increased. In the past few days, he didn't encounter any gang conflicts at midnight, only picking up some small fry, adding less than 2000 experience points. But today, his luck finally burst, taking down a gang leader with heinous crimes, earning 3500 experience points, which was much higher than Chen Zongrui's. The 4 times experience boost even allowed Liu Menglong to level up, and he was only a thousand points away from the next level.

These were secondary concerns. What Liu Menglong cared most about was the addition of a 'Special Items' section in his status. The 7th level of the Golden Bell Cover? Wasn't that the giant's technique? And it was the 7th level.

The 3D image of the Golden Bell Cover was a blue-bound book, with the three characters "Golden Bell Cover" written in bold, strong strokes, reflecting the nature of the martial art.

Liu Menglong reached out to take the Golden Bell Cover in his hand, and the book's description immediately flashed in his mind.

Golden Bell Cover: Using it will immediately learn the 7th level of the Golden Bell Cover. When activated, the body becomes as hard as iron, like a golden bell protecting it, impervious to blades and swords. The flaw is that it cannot be moved once activated, and the effect will automatically cancel if moved. (Can be used on a designated person, but not by the host.)

The first part made Liu Menglong extremely excited. The 7th level of the Golden Bell Cover, just using it would immediately learn it. The flaw was obvious, it couldn't be moved once activated, which was why the giant kept being beaten without retaliating. But that didn't matter. Under certain conditions, the Golden Bell Cover was a life-saving skill, very rare.

But...

"Dragonfly! Come out!" Liu Menglong was very angry.

Dragonfly appeared, a mischievous smile on her face: "What does the host need?"

"What's going on?" Liu Menglong thrust the Golden Bell Cover in front of Dragonfly, asking angrily: "Why can't I use it? Is the system looking down on me, the host?"

"Please calm down, host." Dragonfly's smile faded, returning to her usual service smile: "Skills created by humans are considered low-level by the system. If the host learns these skills, it would be a disgrace to the system!"

Dragonfly's words immediately quelled Liu Menglong's anger, and he fell into deep thought.

"Moreover..." Seeing Liu Menglong calm down, Dragonfly's smile became brighter: "The host will automatically learn a skill at levels 1, 10, 20, 30... 100. Any of these skills would be absolute divine skills on Earth. The host just needs to patiently level up, and naturally, more powerful and magical skills will be learned. Why worry about these trash skills on Earth?"

Hearing this, Liu Menglong's last bit of anger disappeared. He patted the Golden Bell Cover, a hint of reluctance in his voice: "You say it's a trash skill, but to my past self, it was a life-saving skill I longed for."

Dragonfly fluttered to Liu Menglong's shoulder, her small, soft hand pinching his earlobe, her lips close to his ear, whispering: "No matter how powerful the Golden Bell Cover is, can it withstand a bullet? Even if the 7th level can, what about armor-piercing rounds? Artillery shells? Nuclear bombs?"

Liu Menglong was stunned. If Dragonfly said this, didn't it mean...

Just as he was about to confirm his thoughts, an alarm suddenly sounded, getting closer. Liu Menglong's eyes narrowed, immediately activating the Stealth skill and quickly leaving the scene.

As soon as Liu Menglong left, several police cars arrived with sirens blaring. The doors opened, and a dozen armed officers rushed out, quickly securing the area.
