My Mysterious Left Hand

"This feature is also great; it makes it easier for me to learn about creatures I've never seen before."

This discovery delighted him.

Just as he was about to casually swat the wild boar to death, a special attribute was suddenly collected the moment his left hand touched it.

[Life Origin +1]

The origin of life?

Li Chen was shocked and quickly integrated this attribute into his body.

The next moment, he felt his foundation improve again, and his physical potential seemed to increase as well.

"Is that even possible?"

Li Chen was both surprised and delighted: "This life essence seems to be the fundamental power of all living things, not much different from the essence of fire."

He immediately resumed collecting this stuff.

[Life Origin +1]

[Life Origin +1]

Soon, two more life essence attributes were collected, and the wild boar was directly killed by the collection.

After losing its original source, the quality of the wild boar carcass' flesh and blood seems to have decreased significantly.

However, Li Chen did not mind, put the corpse into the cave fossil, and then left.

After traveling only 500 meters, another ferocious beast came into view.

This beast looks somewhat like a black panther, but it has a single horn on its head, which is very strange.

"Bang!"

The monster didn't even have time to react before he was knocked unconscious by the sudden approach.

Li Chen didn't waste any time and started fighting right away.

[Black Horned Leopard's Body Refinement Technique +1]

Another unusual body-refining method was discovered.

He then began to collect the life essence until he had completely drained the beast, then he collected the carcass and continued hunting.

Wherever he went, ferocious beasts suffered.

Even a four- or five-meter-tall beast could not escape his clutches, and he extracted its body-refining techniques and life essence.

It is worth mentioning that the body-refining methods collected from the same species are almost identical, but not exactly the same. Therefore, he did not let go of any creatures of the same type.

I don't know if it's because of the hunting in Black Sheep Village, but the ferocious beasts and birds of prey in this area don't seem to be very strong.

So far, he has not encountered any creature that can block a single punch from him.

Li Chen was happy to relax, since as long as he could collect the body-refining method, it didn't matter how strong it was.

During this time, when he got hungry, he simply used his fire powers to grill meat and eat it before continuing his mission.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

At this moment, three or four hundred body-refining methods had already appeared in Li Chen's mind.

"That should be about right."

Li Chen was about to find a place to study these body-refining techniques when he suddenly heard voices talking.

Because the words he heard were important and he could understand them, he initially thought they were from Earth adventurers and was about to avoid them.

Turning around unintentionally, he saw a group of people dressed in animal skins riding on the backs of black goats.

"The hunting party from Black Sheep Village?"

Li Chen's eyes turned cold, and then he strode over.

Meanwhile, the hunting party from Black Sheep Village also discovered him.

The leader suddenly produced a portrait made of animal hide and compared it to the image. Then, a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes: "That's Li Chen. Take him down..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man felt a terrifying sense of oppression wash over him. Then, the black goat beneath him exploded and dissipated into black mist. His lower body then exploded as well.

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. Without a word, Li Chen attacked immediately.

"not good……"

"How is that possible?!"

"Get out of the way!"

Everyone was horrified, as Li Chen transformed into afterimages and launched a frenzied attack on them.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang..."

Wherever Li Chen passed, black goats exploded one after another, their lower bodies torn apart by the terrifying force of his fists.

The people of Black Sheep Village also tried to fight back, but Li Chen's speed was so fast that their thinking and reaction could not keep up.

In the blink of an eye, a hunting team of more than twenty people was completely defeated, and even the strong people in the third realm of mortals had no power to fight back.

Because he didn't want to waste the opportunity, Li Chen didn't kill anyone directly.

However, because half of their bodies were shattered, most of them immediately lost consciousness, with only a very few remaining conscious.

"How...how could you be so powerful?!" The leader stared at Li Chen in horror.

However, Li Chen was too lazy to waste any more words with these people and directly began to collect cultivation techniques, comprehension, and intelligence attributes.

Of course, he accepts all other attributes as well.

During this period, because the source obtained from decomposing attributes was too much, the palm space was upgraded again, reaching a diameter of one meter, and the number of attribute light clusters that could be contained at one time increased to ten thousand.

As the space in his palm increased, the strength in his left hand grew slightly, but this improvement was negligible compared to his current overall strength.

Unfortunately, all of these people practiced the exact same technique, the "Demon Sheep Shaking Mountain Technique".

The black goats are all illusions, not physical entities, so they cannot be collected.

Soon, Li Chen collected all the corpses until they turned to ashes, and then, as he walked back, he integrated his intelligence and comprehension attributes into his own body.

When the intelligence and comprehension attributes he had acquired were fully integrated, the pages of inheritance in his mind began to disappear one after another, and the information on them was completely absorbed and digested by him.

At this moment, Li Chen felt that his thoughts were working at an astonishing speed, and at the same time, inspiration was flowing endlessly.

He memorized the body-refining methods of those giant beasts he had collected earlier in the blink of an eye, and even understood them completely with ease.

He was surprised to find that he could suddenly think of many possibilities to scramble, adjust, and reorganize that information.

Based on the patterns of "Demon Sheep Shaking Mountain Skill" and "Mysterious Dark True Skill", a series of simplified techniques came to mind.

"These are all too simplistic and absolutely cannot alter my current physical body. I need a more powerful and complete cultivation technique!"

Li Chen's eyes were deep, and he was multitasking, simulating the new cultivation technique in his mind as he walked back.

However, after walking only a few hundred meters, a strange "wooden stake" suddenly appeared in their field of vision.

With his amazing eyesight, he narrowed his eyes, pushed aside the weeds, and walked over. He then waved his hand and released flames.

"Whoosh—"

The weeds and iron vines within a radius of tens of meters were burned away, and a huge stone tablet came into view.

The stone tablet is six or seven meters tall and has pits and bumps on it, which looks like it was once carved with text.

But now, all those words are blurred.

"These are building ruins? How could there be building ruins in a place like this?"

Li Chen was filled with doubt and surprise. He stomped his foot hard, and flames swept out from him in all directions, burning the decaying leaves within a hundred meters radius to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The six- or seven-meter-tall, incredibly lush weeds were all burned away, revealing the landscape on the ground.

Pieces of weathered building remains came into view.

Because he now has a very strong control over fire, the flames went out immediately after burning everything that could be burned within the area.

Not even a spark remained.

Li Chen arrived at the foot of the stone tablet and looked at the pitted and uneven marks on it.

Whether it was his imagination or not, in his field of vision, those pitted and uneven marks seemed to slowly move, darting around like tadpoles, gradually forming human-shaped patterns, slowly making some strange movements.

"This is... a cultivation technique?"

Li Chen's pupils contracted, and he quickly observed the movements of the human-shaped patterns carefully.

During this process, he seemed to see someone leaving a message on a stone tablet from countless ages ago: place your hand on it to test your aptitude and obtain the inheritance through your aptitude.

In a daze, he came back to his senses and saw that the stone tablet was still the same stone tablet that seemed to be completely weathered away at any moment, but there were no more tadpoles on it.

A heritage stele?!

Li Chen was taken aback. What incredible luck he had!

"However, this stone tablet has existed for a very long time. Is it still being passed down?"

The human-shaped patterns he had just seen contained incomplete information.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but step forward and try to place his hand on it.

Suddenly, an invisible force descended from the stone tablet.

"Buzz—"

A strange thing happened: the entire stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, followed by a terrifying beam of light shooting into the sky and shattering the clouds.

At that moment, everyone in Black Sheep Village, which was more than ten miles away, suddenly looked in this direction.

All the Earth adventurers and soldiers stationed at the entrance to the world passage within this area were looking in this direction.

Even in some cities far beyond the remote wilderness, people were looking in this direction.
