As the last layer of passively transformed golden light entered his body, Jiang Feng sensed something, greeted Zhang Ruanruan, found a place to sit cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
He could clearly hear a faint "crack" sound coming from somewhere in his body, as if some kind of constraint had been broken.
With his gradual mastery of his body after becoming a martial artist, Jiang Feng also gained some understanding of the physical changes brought about by this realm.
His muscle fibers and bone density were comprehensively strengthened, and the speed of blood and qi mobilization also became faster.
With a thought, the martial artist's blood flowing through his meridians began to burn and circulate wildly, and soon black impurities were expelled from the surface of his body.
The Nine Heavens of Body Tempering, in essence, is a process of removing impurities and tempering the body.
With his eyes closed, Jiang Feng stared at the strength attribute on the panel, but he was somewhat puzzled.
「我的力量已经从10翻倍变成了20，那20的1%，再乘以60层，不应该是12才对吗？」
Could it be...? Combining what Zhang Ruanruan had said about martial arts aptitude earlier, Jiang Feng had a vague idea in his mind.
Is it true that a person with ordinary martial arts talent only has a base strength attribute of 10, and the only way to increase their base attribute is to improve their martial arts talent?
That's quite possible!
"Buzz!"
After figuring it out, Jiang Feng slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was Zhang Ruanruan's beautiful face.
"Are you going to continue?" she asked, pointing deeper into the contaminated area.
For Zhang Ruanruan, whose martial arts aptitude is as pure as water, Jiang Feng's breakthrough this time is just a trivial matter, as ordinary as drinking milk tea after a meal.
"No, I won't." Having just experienced the changes in his body and before he could even check the new Hextech, hunger and weakness surged into his heart like a tidal wave.
He needs to find a place to rest and replenish his energy first.
"Okay." Zhang Ruanruan nodded gently. "Then you can go back first. See you next Monday."
There's no need to clean up the contaminated area tomorrow, so Zhang Ruanruan won't be coming.
"Okay, be careful on your own." Jiang Feng nodded, staggered to his feet, and said goodbye to Zhang Ruanruan.

Rental housing in Xiacheng District.
"Tear".
After swallowing the last piece of processed meat, Jiang Feng finished all the noodles and soup in his bowl before wiping his mouth with satisfaction.
Even contaminated food can still help replenish the body's vital energy and blood.
After eating and drinking his fill, he looked at the black keratin on his body that was almost dried out and decided to take a shower before choosing Hextech products.
After all, it's nice to have a bit of a ritual before the lottery.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Feng, having finished his shower, lay in bed and opened his system panel.

[Host has been upgraded. Please select a new Hextech system!]
[Restart Mission (Silver)]
[Effect: Removes all martial arts skills and techniques from your inventory, and grants you a random mortal-level martial arts skill or technique.]
【Mini Lucky Bag (Silver)】
[Effect: Obtain two random mortal-grade weapons]
【Silver Fate (Silver)】
[Effect: Gain a random Silver Hextech Token + 1 StarCraft Coins]
Obtaining this Hextech Crafting item grants 1 Dice Maniac Set Fragment. Collecting two or more Dice Maniac Set Fragments will grant a bonus.

"Not a single Hextech item, and they're all silver."
Jiang Feng stroked his chin. Although the rules were very clear, that Prismatic Hextech would only appear when breaking through to a higher realm, he still looked forward to a Golden Hextech.
It wasn't that he was greedy, but rather that a gold-tier Hextech weapon could potentially grant him the [Horned Dragon] set randomly, which, when combined with [Transcendent Evil], would exponentially increase his monster-killing speed!
"If there's no one, then there's no one," he muttered to himself before starting to think about what he should choose.
First, he ruled out the "Little Lucky Bag".
Even though weapons are very important to martial artists, giving them only two ordinary-grade weapons is not very cost-effective, and more importantly, he doesn't need them for the time being.
So... do you want cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, or gamble with your silver fate?
To be honest, cultivation techniques and martial arts skills are essential for Jiang Feng right now, and they are very cost-effective. Even if he gets new cultivation techniques and martial arts skills after the class placement exam the day after tomorrow, Jiang Feng still understands the principle that having more skills is never a bad thing.
Can......
He naturally noticed the line of text below Silver Fate.
"This is one of the [Dice Maniac] sets."
Even after all this time, he still clearly remembers that the [Silver Destiny] Hextech item was from Teamfight Tactics, but the [Dice Maniac] set was a product of Hextech ARAM.
"Did the system combine the two together?" Jiang Feng made his judgment.
It's not impossible, or rather, this would be more reasonable.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and decisively clicked on the third option, giving himself no more time to think!
"Fine, let's take a gamble!"
"There will be other opportunities later!"
The moment Jiang Feng made his choice, his phone lit up with a "ding," and 1 Star Sea Coins arrived in his account on time. Combined with the 400-odd yuan he currently had, he was instantly much better off.
At the same moment, the text on the panel changed, and a new Hextech appeared before him.

Twin Flames
[Effect: Attacks during the skill's duration will inflict two fireballs, each dealing damage based on the user's level (cannot be used with ice or water attribute skills)]
Obtain 1 set fragment (Divine Dragon Blaze). A bonus will be granted after collecting two or more (Divine Dragon Blaze) fragments.
Obtain 1 set fragment (Dice Maniac). Collect two or more (Dice Maniac) fragments to receive a bonus.

"Not bad!" Jiang Feng grinned.
Even disregarding the additional bonuses from future set bonuses, its base enchantments alone make it a very high-quality Hextech item.
For aberrations that live in dark areas year-round, fire damage can be very effective.

"Cool!"
It's a pity I don't have any martial arts skills yet, otherwise I would definitely go to the contaminated area to practice.
After looking at the Hextech interface for a while, Jiang Feng put it away.
Realizing it was getting late, he video-chatted with Ye Weiwei in Suzhou for over an hour before finally falling into a deep sleep.
........
Sunday afternoon at 19 p.m.
Jiang Feng slept very soundly. When he woke up, he found himself clear-headed like never before, and that he had actually slept for a whole day and night!
After dinner, he first went to the nearby market and spent 5000 Starsea Coins to stock up on food for a few days. After tidying up a bit, he picked up the steel rod, which had become much lighter, and headed straight for the underground contaminated area.
As a high school student with plenty of energy, I only need to ensure eight hours of sleep every day. The extra time should naturally be used to continue stacking the extraordinary evil level!
