Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

After he eliminated every thief, thug, or robber he could find in the entire town, his physical attributes only reached 7.0.

Perhaps if he looks for experience packs more carefully, he can improve a little.

However, after assessing his physical strength, he decided not to wait any longer.

With his current strength, it's impossible for him to be instantly killed by the Licker. Many soldiers have been drawn there, and with these natives serving as cannon fodder in front, he plans to observe the opponent's condition and see if there's a chance to kill it.

He returned quickly; with his improved physical abilities, scaling walls and leaping across rooftops had become second nature to him.

With a light leap, he landed on the rooftop, followed by a speed reminiscent of ancient Chinese light-footed martial arts—no technique involved, just pure numbers.

Soon, what came into his view was a battlefield that could only be described as horrific.

Many soldiers wearing leather armor were beaten to the ground, their fates unknown. The militiamen, who were not adequately protected, fared even worse; many were smashed to pieces, with no intact bodies to be found.

However, the soldiers were not completely defeated.

A knight in armor was seen fighting off the Licker. It was only because the Licker was not agile enough that the knight was able to hold out until now.

But as the battle progressed, the knight's horse began to slow down, and Meng Li knew he couldn't hold on for much longer.

Sensing his predicament, Meng Li showed no intention of helping him, but instead quickly moved closer to the battlefield.

As soldiers who were not yet completely dead turned to dust, his power began to slowly rise again.

Unfortunately, only the lives he killed with his own hands could be refined; otherwise, with the corpses he had slaughtered along the way by the crawlers, he estimated that he could have broken through the 10 mark in physical attributes.

He quickly finished off the soldiers who weren't quite dead yet, killing and draining his life force along the way.

The knight couldn't hold on any longer, and he needed to seize the opportunity to avoid wasting it.

At this moment, the knight also saw what Meng Li had done.

"stop!"

He shouted angrily.

His eyes seemed to burn with fire, and if the timing hadn't been unfavorable, he probably would have attacked long ago. The anger that Meng Li's desecration of the soldiers' corpses had brought him had even faintly surpassed that of the Licker in front of him.

"Oh."

Meng Li chuckled softly, and her hands moved even faster.

Don't say the other party can't come; even if they did, so what? They'd just be nourishment for him.

I don't know if it was because of Meng Li's actions that I became distracted.

In a moment of carelessness, the knight was actually swept away by the Licker's slap.

With a sound of leather being torn open, his warhorse was splattered with blood, clearly having been gutted.

Because the impact dissipated the moment of impact, the rider himself was not seriously injured.

But when he saw the Licker rushing towards him, despair appeared on his face.

He instinctively raised his left-hand shield to block, but the attack, powerful enough to knock down the wall, was something he couldn't possibly withstand with his bare hands.

In the blink of an eye, his shield shattered into pieces, and the knight was blasted away with tremendous force.

It was only because his armor was of excellent quality that it wasn't completely destroyed by the impact, but even so, the middle of his armor was completely dented, and blood kept gushing from his mouth. It was clear that he was not going to survive.

The sight of such horrific injuries made Meng Li's eyelids twitch.

After all, he had been chased by Lickers before, and all he had to dodged were these kinds of attacks. If he had made even one mistake, he would probably have been torn to pieces. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The Licker seemed a little dazed after being hit, and in those few seconds of its dazed state, Meng Li seized the opportunity and quickly ran to the knight's side.

"Thank goodness, he's not dead yet."

Looking at Meng Li's anxious eyes, the knight suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. There must be a reason why the other party killed his subordinate just now, otherwise why would the other party come to save him in such a dangerous situation?

"you..."

But the knight hasn't thanked him yet.

Pfft!

Meng Li threw away the wooden stick, picked up the longsword that had fallen beside him, and delivered a fatal slash.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry and I can't hear your last words. I apologize."

While Smith was doing the work, Meng Li was absorbing the information.

Physical fitness +0.5.

Feeling the feedback from his talent, Meng Li felt quite pleased.

As expected of a knight who can contend with the crawlers, as a half-noble lord, he is indeed different from those scumbags in the gangs.

thump.

He dodged aside, avoiding the licker that had just come to its senses and lunged at him.

Meng Li turned around and stabbed directly at its body.

He doesn't know any swordsmanship, but his physical fitness has improved in every way. Now he not only has excellent hearing and eyesight, but also a high degree of coordination.

Despite it being his first battle, he fought quite skillfully, recalling various sword techniques from his mind.

As Meng Li's sword struck its target, the Licker screamed in agony, and thick green blood flowed from its wound.

The wound wasn't deep, partly because the opponent had thick skin, and partly because Meng Li only had this one decent weapon.

The other soldiers' weapons were all enchanted with tetanus, so their sharpness was really limited. They were okay for hitting ordinary people, but hitting these things was wishful thinking; even breaking through their defenses would be difficult.

To avoid getting his weapon stuck, Meng Li fought with measured advances and retreats, never attacking lightly unless he was completely confident.

The Licker was already not very bright, and now that it was enraged, it attacked like a madman. However, because of its agility, it was completely outmatched by Meng Li, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't touch a single hair on Meng Li's head.

This battle wasn't entirely without danger, but it was certainly not very dangerous.

Calmly drawing its blood with each sword strike.

Its movements gradually slowed down until it reached a certain limit, then it collapsed heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.

Ignoring the villagers watching from afar, Meng Li directly absorbed its flesh and blood.

"Physical fitness +2.1 points".

At 9:06, Meng Li's internal power surged dramatically.

Cool!

When his body was around three o'clock, his original one abdominal muscle had turned into six, and his originally thin body was now bulging with muscles.

Somewhat similar to the martial arts masters of the ancient Ocean Blue Federation, they are strong and muscular without being bulky.

After that, although his physical fitness continued to improve, the changes in Meng Li's physical appearance were no longer so drastic. But only he knew the terrifying power contained beneath his muscles.

Now, one punch from him is enough to shatter an ordinary person into pieces.

Even though he was already incredibly strong, Meng Li found that his rating had only changed from E- to E+, but he had not received any improvement in rank.

Based on this, the system's potential should be quite high.

After all, looking at the letters, there are several letters above E, such as D, C, B, and A.

Now, at only E-level, he feels his body is dozens of times stronger than before; he wouldn't even dare to dream of reaching the higher D-level.

However, a high ceiling isn't without its downsides; at the very least, obtaining Hextech items is more difficult than he anticipated.
