Chapter 32 Strength Enhancement
When Huang Hong came to his senses, he had already returned to Anyue City. However, what surprised him was that he did not return to the central square, but instead appeared at the location he had been teleported to before, which was near the stronghold he had set up.
They didn't encounter the worst-case scenario of being suddenly confronted by a powerful opponent demanding an unknown token as soon as they appeared.
This is actually the fundamental reason why Huang Hong didn't want to cause trouble, and even after finding the mission target, he let Shen Guoqing and Wu Junyi do their thing.
If possible, he not only didn't want to stand out, but he also didn't want to exchange for that 'unknown token'.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. If Huang Hong hadn't intervened, there would have been no chance of achieving the Time-Space Echo. And when it came to choosing the rewards later, he wasn't given a chance to refuse.
And just like that, he unwittingly brought out the 'Unknown Token'.
However, since it has already happened, there's no use thinking about it anymore; whether it's a blessing or a curse will be clear in time.
Huang Hong had already sensed the earth-shattering changes happening in his body, and he couldn't help but focus his gaze on the extraordinary panel...

After looking at the whole series, the changes are quite significant.
First, there's 'Qi', which is obtained through the foundational talent. This is the most basic and important ability for a fighter, and it permeates almost everything in this extraordinary profession. The stronger the 'Qi', the stronger the basic attributes it can improve, and conversely, the stronger the attributes, the higher the quality of the 'Qi'. It's a mutually reinforcing relationship.
Moreover, in order to improve one's "qi", attributes are only one aspect. Among the knowledge about fighters that Huang Hong received, there is also a basic training method, which includes training methods and the circulation of "qi".
In other words, while training the body, one circulates the "qi" within the body according to certain rules, forming a positive cycle. Through this training, the quality of the "qi" will also be slowly improved.
This foundational talent is also the core of the fighter's professional talent tree.
Huang Hong opened the Fighter's Professional Talent Chart with his mind, and a circular chart appeared in front of him. The first position was the foundational talent "Qi", which was already lit up.
Three branches extend from the foundational talent 'Qi', each branch containing basic talents, advanced talents, and core talents representing different tendencies.
Each branch has seven or eight basic talents, which are directional bonuses. For example, the three talents for a fighter are 'Attack Power Increased by 2%', 'Action Power Increased by 2%', and 'Elemental Affinity Increased by 2%', which represent the three development directions of Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, respectively.
Interspersed among the basic talents are advanced talents, which supplement and improve combat orientation. Each advanced talent will affect or even change the combat style, forming a more powerful combination or routine.
Unfortunately, the talent board is now obscured by a layer of mist. Although Huang Hong can see the location of advanced talents, he cannot view their specific attributes. It seems that he will only know after he has allocated points to the corresponding positions in the basic talents.
Finally, the core talent is second only to the foundational talent in importance. It often plays an irreplaceable role in extraordinary professions. In fact, it can be said that only by activating the core talent of a profession can one be considered to have initially mastered that profession.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only about thirty basic talents, advanced talents, and core talents on the fighter's talent board. In reality, the talent energy gained from each level up is only enough to unlock one talent.
In other words, even if you level up the Fighter class to the maximum level, you can only activate one core talent for that class.
Activating more professional talents is not impossible, but it is often very difficult. For example, there are certain treasures that can increase the foundation of a profession, or the spacetime energy obtained from spacetime echoes.
However, the former is something that can only be encountered by chance, since treasures that can increase one's professional foundation are already very precious and rare. Even if one happens to encounter one, it may not be suitable for one's profession. The latter is even more so. Every time-space echo is a rare treasure, which often contains treasures buried in the past. Even if there is any surplus time-space energy, it is the best choice to use it to exchange for basic attributes.
However, none of these restrictions matter to Huang Hong, as he has a special ability.
Thinking this, Huang Hong focused his gaze on a basic talent that had not yet been activated. With a slight thought, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he got the answer he wanted.
Perhaps because the professional talent chart itself requires additional talent energy to be continuously lit up, it is not an integral part of the profession, but rather an independent bonus that relies on the profession, and can be gradually lit up by the All-Encompassing Enhancement.
In other words, as long as Huang Hongyuan has enough, he can fully utilize all the talent points, including basic talents, advanced talents, and core talents, taking full advantage of all the bonuses!
Unfortunately, Huang Hong had just used up all his source energy, and the little bit he had left wasn't even enough to unlock a basic talent.
Turning off the talent panel, Huang Hong looked at the skills. The attribute bonus of Military Boxing (simplified version) had disappeared, and only the skill feat activated after reaching the maximum level was still effective, because it had been replaced by a higher-level skill of the same type.
The rare quality basic fighting skill not only increases agility, but also increases the increase per level by 2%. This means that when Huang Hong upgrades the basic fighting skill to the maximum level, the increase in all three attributes will reach 20%, which is much higher than the 5% of the military boxing (simplified version) skill, especially in terms of strength and constitution.
Tiger Claw and Tiger Strike are the basic skills of the Tiger Immortal style. Their killing power is secondary; their main purpose is to train the user, as can be seen from their attribute bonuses.
It's worth mentioning that although Tiger Claw and Tiger Strike are described as training the hands and legs respectively, in actual application they are a holistic enhancement.
He can unleash the Tiger Claw by kicking out, and he can also use the Tiger Strike technique to increase explosiveness and agility when punching.
Huang Hong unleashed his Tiger Claw, and he was quite satisfied with its destructive power, which was almost comparable to the slashing of a Tang sword. The only thing that made him frown was that it consumed too much of his "qi". This one move alone consumed one-third of the "qi" in his body.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has too little "qi" in his body.
After 'Qi' is consumed, it can be naturally restored. In fact, during intense battles, it can be restored quickly by squeezing out physical and mental energy. However, doing so will gradually weaken the body and, over time, reduce the basic attributes increased by 'Qi'.
Another thing that puzzled Huang Hong was that his "qi" was white and felt quite peaceful, completely different from the blood-red "qi" of the monsters in the dojo, which contained powerful aggression. It was much weaker in power.
Huang Hong quickly pulled himself out of these puzzling thoughts, turned off the extraordinary panel, and looked at something within the Myriad Manifestations Enhancement...
