Little A: Were You Wrong?

What are you doing, Little A?

At this point, there's no question of knowing when to stop.

Without hesitation, Lu Ping chose option B.

[You chose B.]

[After annihilating the Blood Sha, the fiery galaxy continued its momentum, transforming into a fiery storm that swept across the entire Depression.]

[Thousands upon thousands of Wandering Sha and Military Sha vanished instantly.]

[A few breaths later, the flames dissipated, and the Thousand-Blade River transformed into a silver ring, disappearing back into your Dantian.]

[The entire Depression was instantly emptied of its Ruin Sha, leaving only a ground covered in Sha Soul Crystals and Soul Sand.]

[You scanned the area with your Divine Sense and found a full one hundred and thirty-five Sha Soul Crystals, piled up there quietly.]

[You stared at the pile of Sha Soul Crystals, a smirk playing on your lips, when suddenly your body swayed.]

[It's like walking along while looking at your phone, and suddenly bumping your forehead into a glass door frame.]

[Before you could even steady yourself, everything went black, and you plummeted from mid-air.]

[Salty Fish, in effect.]

[You barely managed to draw your breath, and just before your face hit the ground, you flipped over and landed on your feet.]

[Your knees buckled, and you slumped to the ground.]

[It feels like thousands of red-hot steel needles are churning wildly inside your head.]

[You've finally learned what it means to "take too big a step and end up tearing your balls."]

[When you first used the "Hundred-Blade Ring" to kill Han Shishan, a man far stronger than yourself, you already experienced the terrifying drain on your Divine Sense that the "Star River Myriad Blades" technique inflicted.]

[Later, with the improvement of your Divine Sense and repeated use, you finally gradually adapted to the consumption of the "Hundred-Blade Ring".]

[But you never expected that after the Law Treasure weapon's grade jumped from 108 flying blades to the "Thousand-Blade River" with 1080 blades, the consumption wasn't just a simple tenfold increase, but an exponential explosion.]

[Previously, when killing a single Blood Sha, Thousand-Blade River would barely peek out before the opponent was gone.]

[The depletion of Divine Sense is not yet noticeable.]

[This time, over a hundred Blood Sha were killed in one go, followed by a massive area-clearing attack.]

[That was indeed a bit reckless.]

[Your own strength is not growing at all keeping up with the speed at which this Law Treasure is upgrading.]

[You sit cross-legged with your eyes closed.]

[Fifteen minutes later.]

[Quality Sleep, effective.]

[Ten times the recovery efficiency.]

[You slowly open your eyes; the stinging pain in your Sea of Consciousness fades, and your mind becomes full again.]

[You looked at the Depression of Sha Soul Crystal and couldn't help but sigh.]

[It is truly strong, and truly weak.]

[Sigh, you're still too weak.]

Get to work, young man.

[You stand up, wave your hand, and store all the spoils into your Storage Ring.]

[Next, you perform the Method Formula.]

[As-If-Original Seal, activated.]

[You erased your own scent and trace.]

[Having done all this, you donned the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak, your figure blending into the shadows, and quietly departed.]

[Destroy the body and cover up the evidence; leave no trace.]

You're already a qualified sixth person.

[For the next few months, you 'Avatar the most diligent cleaner in the Lifeless Plain.]

[Taking advantage of the Concealment provided by the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak and the disguise of the "Sha-Melting Art," you have located several more Ruin Sha clusters that are devouring each other and preparing for advancement.]

[Each time, you wait until they're both severely injured, or at a crucial moment for promotion, before making your decisive move.]

[They've come to deceive, to ambush.]

[You've mastered the essence of Lao Liu to its fullest extent.]

[The number of Sha Soul Crystals in your Storage Ring is rapidly increasing.]

[One hundred, three hundred, five hundred...]

Indeed, a horse won't get fat without night grazing.

[They've come out to freeload.]

[And through these cycles of extreme overexertion and recovery, you've become increasingly adept at using the Thousand-Blade River.]

[From initially only being able to barely maintain the Thousand-Blade River's complete form for a few breaths, he later became able to effortlessly withstand the raging sea of fire for a quarter of an hour.]

Sure enough, after a while, you get used to the pain.

[This self-torturing style of practical training allows your Divine Sense to grow extremely rapidly.]

[However, the feeling of your Sea of Consciousness being torn apart and then reassembled each time makes you wonder if the "Spirit Refining Technique" you obtained from the Black-Clad Leader should not be called the Spirit Refining Technique at all, but rather the "Great Technique of Mental Split."]

Fortunately, the Salty Fish's Dao Heart is indestructible.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Trait: Tax Deduction (Level D) -- All formal income is automatically taxed and withheld; personal income and business income are deducted at a fixed percentage.]

Should we replace it?

Lu Ping finally admitted that the system didn't favor him.

Or rather, love can disappear.

After producing two Grade A and one B-grade, the system started to slack off, producing two D-grade in a row.

[You choose not to change.]

[In the following year, you continued to wipe out the Ruin Sha.]

[You confirm that these Ruin Sha did not gather naturally, but were deliberately kept in a Gu field by some higher-level being.]

[Hundreds of Blood Sha were trapped in one place, tearing at and devouring each other.]

[You shut down over a dozen such cult operations and made a fortune.]

[Strangely, your frantic exploitation hasn't attracted any high-level beings to hunt you down.]

[Not even a trace of Divine Sense was detected.]

[It's as if these Ruin Sha, capable of annihilating Forward Outpost like Black Moon Gorge, were merely a few idle pawns casually placed by the mastermind behind it all.]

[It's gone, so what? It's not worth worrying about.]

[This lack of attention, ironically, sets off alarm bells in your mind.]

[If Blood Sha at the Golden Core Stage is considered an ant, just how powerful is the storm brewing behind it?]

[Your Red-Feather Fire Crow has finally digested more than a dozen strands of Nine Netherworld Fire.]

[It woke up from its feigned death state.]

[The body shape remained unchanged, but the crimson-black wings gradually transitioned to red.]

[Now, the Crow-Crow are starting to resemble the Red-Feather Fire Crows.]

[Core Formation Late Stage.]

[Converted to the level of Human Race cultivator, this silly bird's current aura is comparable to that of Nascent Soul Early Stage.]

[You've started using the Red-Feather Fire Crow as a messenger.]

[Every three months, you will send it back to Black Moon Gorge to deliver the intelligence you have gathered to Lei Hanxiao.]

[The Crow-Crow can now survive independently for 300 miles, but the distance from the Black Moon Gorge to the depths of the Lifeless Plains is more than ten thousand miles.]

[If the Red-Feather Fire Crow leaves you for too long, it will automatically transform into fire energy and return to your Dantian.]

[It always approaches the limit of its extubation.]

[Through the Fire Crow's vision, you confirm that Lei Hanxiao has received intelligence, and Black Moon Gorge is also stepping up its preparations for battle.]

[Days passed by like this.]
