Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

You've never felt so refreshed.

Every inch of your flesh seems to be regenerating; your once frail body finally has a clearly defined muscle outline!

[You feel that as your cultivation level increases, along with the improvement of your constitution, strength, and agility, the corresponding attribute caps also increase. Current cap: 8.]

Although you're still a long way from reaching this level of advancement, believe me, it won't be long before your name is etched in the annals of this world!

【…】

Ok?

Chen Xuan's gaze quickly locked onto the subtitles, focusing mainly on the point that concerned him.

Attribute cap!

He had searched for it on the forum before.

However, there is very little content, for a simple reason: most players rarely get to touch on it.

In martial arts, there are naturally ways to increase attributes, whether it's one-time use items or equipment like his mysterious jade pendant.

However, this improvement is not unlimited.

For a normal player, the highest possible attribute across the five dimensions is 6 points in the initial state.

Therefore, for some additional attribute boosts, if the limit is exceeded, the boost will be further compressed. For example, if Chen Xuan transfers all his attributes to his comprehension, the attribute boost from 6 points of comprehension will be halved.

Undoubtedly, the extraordinary attributes of comprehension and fortune are very difficult to improve. The former is one thing, but the latter is even more outrageous. Therefore, most of the time, not only is it difficult to improve comprehension and fortune, but it is also difficult to raise their upper limit.

Besides comprehension and good fortune, there is also physical constitution. According to some information on the forum, it seems that only extremely high-quality stance training will increase physical constitution and the upper limit of physical constitution attributes when breaking through.

This effect can be achieved by the top-tier Shennong Drywood Stance from Medicine King Valley. As for the other mid-to-low-level stance training, they mostly only improve movement and strength.

Therefore, the upper limit that other techniques can improve is naturally limited to movement and strength.

Previously, when he entered the Flesh Refining Realm, he experienced his first breakthrough in the upper limit. Now that he has broken through again, this upper limit has also naturally broken through.

In reality, this was a real and tangible improvement for Chen Xuan!

With the miraculous modifications that defy fate, breaking through attribute limits is a piece of cake!

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan opened his attribute list:

【Chen Siming】

Age: 16 Title: Seeker of the Way

[Destiny: Defying fate and befriending beasts (Yellow)]

[Realm: Body Refinement Level 2, Tendon Refining Realm 0%]

[Practical Experience: 60] [Potential Points: 2784]

【根骨：4】【悟性：1】【福缘：1】【身法：3】【力道：3】

[Qi and Blood: 47/47] [Stamina: 34/34] [Internal Force: None]

[Status: Excellent (Your energy is abundant; any learning or practice will yield 100% results.)]

[Summary: An ordinary person.]

Ordinary people!

Chen Xuan almost burst into tears. After struggling for more than half a month, he had finally become an ordinary person.

For him, this was a groundbreaking breakthrough!

You felt your body transform and become stronger; with a leap, you stood up from the bathtub.

[Discard the medicine once its effects have completely worn off. Having just completed your breakthrough, you are brimming with energy and feel far from sleepy. You decide…]

[1. Seeking pleasure: With nothing to do today, let's listen to music in the brothels! How can we waste this long night? You've long wanted to experience the vibrant flowers and willows along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing!]

2. Immerse yourself in books: Diligence is the path to the mountain of books, and hard work is the boat to the boundless sea of ​​learning! To achieve the goal of "studying diligently until old age," these long nights naturally require immersing oneself in study!

[3. Having tasted the sweetness, one gains a taste: Three days ago you told Bai Zhiyun that you would return today. Logically, this woman should have come by now. The moon is high in the sky, why hasn't she come yet? Why not take the initiative to go and find out?]

Looking at the three options in front of him, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and then chose the third one.

He certainly wasn't reminiscing about the taste of that pretty widow from his memories!

It was purely out of some concern, and also to further enhance my impression of him, so I could learn some martial arts skills that I could get from Monkey King!

A thought suddenly crossed your mind: you remembered Bai Zhiyun, whom you hadn't seen for three days.

[Logically, this woman should have arrived by now, so why hasn't she come yet?]

【Perfect timing! When you last entered the Shattered Star Tower, you were quite curious about this largest weapons trading house in Jinling. Tonight is the perfect time, why not go there?】

Dressed neatly, you arrived at the entrance of the Shattered Star Tower in the still-warm light of day.

However, the information you gathered was something you never expected:

"Young Master Chen, you've come at an inopportune time. The Third Madam is not in the building right now!" the manager of the Shattered Star Pavilion said with utmost respect.

[You know, although you haven't been to the Shattered Star Tower recently, nor have you had much contact with the Shen family.]

However, the news of Bai Zhiyun's advancement to the Qi Condensation Realm, the third stage of the Acquired Realm, could not be kept secret.

[Others are one thing, but the manager of the Shattered Star Pavilion, being Bai Zhiyun's absolute confidant, naturally wouldn't dare to show you the slightest disrespect.]

You frowned slightly: "Where did the Third Madam go?"

The steward glanced around before speaking in a low voice:

"Young Master Chen, it's like this: the night before last, a thousand catties of refined iron, which was supposed to belong to the Shattered Star Pavilion, was stolen!"

"That thousand catties of refined iron is part of the ship materials that Shattered Star Tower will be preparing for the Golden Dragon Society to forge for that so-called 'Hundred Boats Racing Grand Ceremony' in the coming period!"

This matter has caused a huge stir! The Third Madam is trying to find a solution and is currently at the Shen family's place. In addition, Steward Shen has gone missing, so the Third Madam hasn't had time to come to the Broken Star Pavilion these past two days..."

You blinked, then nodded, but a storm was brewing within your heart.

After dismissing the steward, you began pacing back and forth within the Shattered Star Tower, observing and pondering.

[A thousand pounds of refined iron has been stolen? Isn't this what Shen Fu and the Viper Gang were talking about?]

So this thousand-pound caliber of refined iron comes from the Shattered Star Tower?

This batch of refined iron is so important, especially since it involves the Golden Dragon Society's participation in the Grand Canal Gang's "Hundred Boats Racing Ceremony." If anything goes wrong, the consequences are self-evident.

As expected, things have gone wrong, and Bai Zhiyun is naturally the first to be affected.

Suddenly, you feel something is wrong. But what exactly is wrong...?

[An idea suddenly occurred to me: Could there be some internal strife within the Shen family behind Shen Fu's secret collusion with the Viper Gang to orchestrate this whole scheme involving the key to the fine iron vault?] (Option 3)

Is it possible that someone instructed Shen Fu to do this?

[Is the intention to reclaim the Shattered Star Pavilion from Bai Zhiyun, who is currently controlling it? And to diminish the Third Madam's influence and prestige within the Shen family?]

Otherwise, why would Shen Fu be so audacious?

However, just as you were pondering this and absentmindedly wandering around the Shattered Star Tower, a fluctuation of destiny finally interrupted your thoughts:

[System prompt: You now have a sufficient understanding of the current scene. Do you wish to activate your destiny ability 'Defying Fate'? View all the possible encounters that can be triggered in the current scene and their trigger conditions.]

【Yes! 】
