Just then, with a thought from Chen Du, the panel reappeared:
[Entered the new world: The Deification Realm]
[World Level: Sixteenth Tier]
[World Type: Multiverse World]
[WARNING: The rules of this world differ significantly from those of the worlds the host has experienced before. Please explore with caution.]
[World's Spiritual Endowment Triggered...]
[A talent that resonates with the rules of this world is awakening...]
[Talent Awakening: Super Upgrade]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Talent Enhancement Lv1 (0/2): Allows for Super Upgrade of any talent, increasing its effect countless times. Only one talent can be enhanced at a time; switching targets requires re-accumulating points.]
[Talent Awakening: Infinite Sign-In]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Treasure Here Lv1 (0/2): Sign in at any location to receive a reward. The reward level depends on the location's resources and level; the higher the resources, the richer the reward.]
[Talent Awakening: Deliberate Revenge]
[Level: Lv1(0/2)]
[Ability 1: Enmity Generates Itself Lv1 (0/2): Slapping an enemy in the face grants Enmity Qi. The more severely the enemy is slapped, the more Enmity Qi accumulates. Enmity Qi can be invested in Heaven's Way's Gifts to exchange for rewards; the stronger the Enmity Qi, the higher the reward level.]
Chen Du carried his wood-chopping knife and walked slowly towards the back mountain, his mind already silently calculating the three new talents.
Super Upgrade, simple and straightforward, can enhance the effect of any talent countless times.
The talents he has accumulated are countless.
Divine Revelation Reading, Achieving the Dao Through Anger, Stunning Everyone with a Single Cry, a hundred battles in reincarnation, Beyond Cause and Effect, the Child of Fortune, Become a Saint on the Spot, the World as a Book, Turn Danger into Safety, Calamity Warning, I Am the Ancestral God.
Pick any one of them and activate its Super Upgrade; the power it unleashes will be enough to shake the world.
However, this talent can only strengthen one type at a time, and switching targets requires accumulating power again. This is something we must carefully consider and save for the most crucial moment to use it wisely.
The Infinite Sign-In feature is even more mysterious; by checking in at a place with profound cultural heritage, you can receive generous rewards.
This Ancient Path Holy Land has been passed down for countless millennia, and its profound heritage is certainly not shallow.
Now that he is inside the holy land, this first stop for his check-in is perfectly timed.
The most interesting thing is to Deliberate Revenge; slapping your enemy in the face can build up Enmity Qi.
The more arrogant an enemy is, the more Enmity Qi one will feel after being humiliated.
He is currently using the identity of Zhang Shun, a menial disciple, and there are quite a few people in the Holy Land who have bullied the original owner of this body.
As he pondered, he continued walking, and soon arrived at the back of the mountain.
Three servants approached from the mountain path.
The leader, surnamed Wang, was a burly man who was the head of the menial laborers. He usually enjoyed bullying the new disciples.
He was followed by two henchmen, one tall and thin, the other short and stout.
All three were carrying machetes, indicating they were also going up the mountain to chop firewood.
Wang Toutou spotted Chen Du at a glance, grinned, slammed his machete into the dirt, and stood in the middle of the road with his arms crossed.
"Zhang Shun, how many bundles will you cut today?"
Chen Du lowered his head slightly and answered in a low voice.
Two bundles.
Wang Toutou, snorted coldly, his face showing a look of defiance.
"Two bundles? That's too few. Today you chop five bundles, and bring them directly to my room."
His two henchmen immediately joined in the commotion, their voices arrogant and shrill.
"Yes, five bundles! If you're short even one bundle, you won't get dinner tonight!"
Chen Du did not utter a word in rebuttal, but simply stood quietly in place, motionless.
Wang Toutou gradually lost patience, took a step forward, and shoved him hard.
"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you!"
Using the force, Chen Du took a step back. At that moment, the panel in his sea of consciousness suddenly popped up.
[Deliberate Revenge triggered. The other party is extremely arrogant. After being humiliated, the Hatred Qi Value increases significantly. Current Hatred Qi Value: ten years.]
Chen Du suppressed all the turmoil in his heart and chose to endure for the time being.
He kept his head down and spoke slowly.
"Understood, five bundles."
Hearing this, Wang Toutou was very satisfied. He raised his hand and patted Chen Du's cheek, his tone full of mockery.
"That's a good boy/girl."
After saying that, he and his two henchmen chuckled and swaggered away.
Chen Du watched the three figures disappear into the distance, bent down to pick up the wood-chopping knife that had fallen to the ground, and continued walking deeper into the back mountain.
The next day, the two met again in the courtyard.
Wang Toutou was sitting by the well, slowly drinking a bowl of hot porridge. When he saw Chen Du returning with water, he casually put the porcelain bowl on the ground and waved to him.
"Zhang Shun, come over here and give me a leg massage."
Chen Du put down the bucket of water on his shoulder, walked over, knelt down, and raised his hand to massage his legs.
While enjoying himself, Wang Toutou boasted to the servants watching nearby.
"These menial servants need to be strictly managed. If we don't discipline them, they'll get too big for their britches sooner or later."
After the beating was finished, Wang Toutou Tou lightly kicked Chen Du.
"Alright, get lost."
Chen Du slowly stood up. In his sea of consciousness, the panel popped up once again.
[Deliberate Revenge triggered. The opponent's arrogance is extremely high. After being humiliated, the Hatred Qi Value increases significantly. Current Hatred Qi Value: fifty years.]
By the third day, Wang Toutou's actions had become increasingly outrageous.
Chen Du had just returned from chopping wood when Wang Toutou blocked his doorway.
He reached out and picked up the two bags of coarse grains that belonged to Zhang Shun, casually tossing out a sentence that declared that all of this month's food rations belonged to him.
Chen Du stood in front of the door, calmly watching the other person take away his food.
The panel lit up in the sea of consciousness for the third time.
[Deliberate Revenge triggered. The opponent's arrogance is extremely high. After being humiliated Hatred Qi Value increases significantly. Current Hatred Qi Value: 100 years.]
In just three days, a century's Enmity Qi had been accumulated.
Chen Du returned to the small house, closed the wooden door, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
This Wang Toutou is truly a remarkable person. The more arrogant the opponent is, the stronger the Enmity Qi will be when they are humiliated later.
If a hundred years of Enmity Qi is channeled into the Heaven's Way's Gift, the rewards will certainly not disappoint.
He carefully collected the half-bag of coarse grain that remained after the grain was stolen, sat cross-legged on the yellowed straw mat, and quietly pondered a plan to humiliate the thief.
This counterattack must be ruthless enough to humiliate the opponent and leave them with no room for arrogance whatsoever.
He openly displayed only Third Tier cultivation, while Wang Toutou had already reached the Fourth Tier.
A direct confrontation would easily arouse suspicion.
But he possesses a myriad of skills and doesn't need to rely on brute force to win.
Chen Du waited quietly for two days, and the right opportunity arrived as scheduled.
Wang Toutou, accompanied by two henchmen, stopped him in the open space behind the dining hall, claiming that they needed to check the amount of firewood used in the past two days.
But half of that pile of firewood had already been secretly moved away by Wang Toutou, and the remaining amount was not enough to make five bundles.
Wang Toutou reached out and ruffled the pile of firewood a few times, then kicked the firewood so hard that it scattered everywhere. He pointed his finger at Chen Du's nose and shouted angrily.
"Zhang Shun, you bastard, you're slacking off! You only chopped this little bit out of five bundles of firewood? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how many eyes the Horse King has!"
