When w.a.n.g Yu was at LV50, even though his Experience was locked, it was still acc.u.mulated and saved. The Experience reward for successfully defending the Capital City as well as the experience for killing the Heavenly Dragon was more than enough for w.a.n.g Yu to raise his level to LV55.
Of course, comparatively, the increase in his attributes brought about by the increase in his levels wasn’t very significant. At the moment, what shocked w.a.n.g Yu the most was that after completing his Awakening, all of his attributes had actually doubled.
It was no wonder that the system said the gap in a player’s abilities before and after Awakening was like that of Heaven and Earth. It seems like it did not solely boil down to the difference in equipment, but rather the leap in realms and attributes had resulted in such an insurmountable gap.
“This feeling…”
After feeling the increase in his attributes, w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t help but reveal a rarely seen smile on his face.
As a Martial Arts expert, the game had placed an extremely harsh restriction on w.a.n.g Yu’s body’s capabilities. Even though in the eyes of other players w.a.n.g Yu was undefeatable, only w.a.n.g Yu himself knew just how much of a restriction was placed on him.
After all, being unable to bring out one’s full potential was an extremely stifling feeling. Now that w.a.n.g Yu was Awakened and had his attributes doubled, the current w.a.n.g Yu could finally match with his body’s capabilities in real life.
Thus, w.a.n.g Yu felt as if he had finally broken free from layers and layers of shackles, a sense of comfort permeated through his entire body.
It should be noted that a person’s body was capable of adapting very well. After being placed under harsh conditions for a long period of time, the body would gradually adapt to it.
After being restricted by the system for so long, w.a.n.g Yu’s body had long ago adapted to these conditions. Now that his attributes have greatly increased, the current w.a.n.g Yu was similar to someone that had just undergone heavy weight training. All of his movements felt as light as a feather.
After experiencing countless slaughters and battles in the game, w.a.n.g Yu’s combat standards had constantly been tempered. The suppression by the system on w.a.n.g Yu had also allowed w.a.n.g Yu to gain a deeper understanding towards his combat techniques. These enlightenment and improvements would definitely not have been possible in the real world.
Even though w.a.n.g Yu had merely experienced an increase in his character’s attributes, after undergoing “heavy-weight training” for so long, w.a.n.g Yu had long ago broken past his own body’s limits. After regaining his own body’s capabilities, regardless of whether it’s in-game or in the real world, w.a.n.g Yu’s battle strength has received an enormous boost.
After getting used to his own character, w.a.n.g Yu couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of happiness.
Thankfully, w.a.n.g Yu had decided to play this game due to the stress from the real world. Otherwise, given his original Martial Arts realm, he definitely wouldn’t have made so much improvement in such a short period of time.
Seeing w.a.n.g Yu’s expression, the Hermit smiled and asked, “How is it? Do you feel yourself br.i.m.m.i.n.g with strength that you’ve never once felt before?”
Upon hearing what the Hermit said, w.a.n.g Yu turned around and earnestly cupped his fist and said, “Thank you, teacher, for your guidance!”
For other players, the process of Awakening was to let their in-game characters gain a boost in their abilities. However, to w.a.n.g Yu, it was an extremely beneficial experience. This word of thanks wasn’t only directed towards the Hermit, but also towards the system.
“Haha! Just remember to bring a few more bottles of good wine the next time you come to visit!” the Hermit said in satisfaction.
“Of course of course! You can have these few bottles first.” w.a.n.g Yu took out a few bottles of good wine and placed them into the hands of the Hermit.
Upon seeing the wine, the Hermit instantly ignored w.a.n.g Yu’s existence, turning over and continued to indulge in his drunken stupor.
…
After appraising the increase in his attributes, w.a.n.g Yu closed the attributes tab. Just when he was about to go look for some mobs to test his strength, the guild chat started becoming extremely rowdy.
Upon opening up the chat and reading it, it seemed like Vainglory had just finished his Awakening Quest and was boasting about his capabilities to w.a.n.g Yu.
“Uncle Bull look, how is my [Thunderclap Thee Kicks]? Are you able to defend against it? @Ironbull!” Vainglory sent a screenshot of his newly attained skill.
“Dog sh*t!” After looking at the Vainglory’s screenshot, Ming Du crudely said, “You have the face to send a screenshot of such a trashy ability? Take a good lock at this daddy’s [Thunder Cloud Storm], it’s an S cla.s.s G.o.d-tier ability!”
“Cheh, isn’t the [Thunder Cloud Storm] the legendary fake G.o.d-tier ability? My [Death Waltz] is the true G.o.d-tier ability alright?”
“Look at my [Storm Prison Strike]…”
“Look at my [King Yama Annihilation]…”
The bunch of people from Quan Zhen Sect did not have any other interests apart from comparing amongst each other. The moment Vainglory sent a screenshot of his ability along with some arrogant lines, the rest immediately felt undignified, and started to send their own screenshots of their Awakened abilities. The Guild Channel instantly became a chaotic mess.
“All of you received a new skill?”
After seeing everyone else sending their never before seen abilities, w.a.n.g Yu curiously asked in the Guild Channel.
After reading w.a.n.g Yu’s message, everyone in the chat simultaneously replied, “Awakened ability. Don’t tell us you didn’t get it. Hurry up and send it over for us to see.”
“Awakened ability… I seem to have an impression of receiving a new skill called [Descending Dragon Palm] or something.”
Thinking up till this point, with a wave of his hand, w.a.n.g Yu opened up his skill tab. With a quick swipe downwards, he promptly found the newly added ability [Profound: Descending Dragon Palm]. After which, he sent the screenshot over to the channel.
In an instant, all those people that were busy boasting about their abilities instantly went quiet.
[Profound: Descending Dragon Palm]: A Martial Artist’s ultimate Awakened ability.

In the great war between G.o.ds and Demons, Martial G.o.d Saint used this palm technique to rip open a void, opening up the battleground for the Great War. With this single palm technique that no Demon or G.o.d could defend against, he had single-handedly driven back the G.o.ds and caused the Demons to retreat, establis.h.i.+ng himself as a peerless being in this world.
“This… this, Old Bull, is your ability?”
After recovering from their shock, everyone couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
