Fleecing the System!

The Profound Origin Pill was a Fifth-grade Pill, and its immense energy erupted within Flowing Cloud's body.

Pain surfaced on Flowing Cloud's face as he felt agonizing, tearing pain radiate through every part of his body.

At that moment, he could barely control the surging energy within him.

"Break!"

Flowing Cloud's entire body trembled as he forcibly controlled the surging energy within him and charged toward that bottleneck.

At that moment, a trace of sharpness emanated from Flowing Cloud's frail body.

The next instant, a muffled sound rang out from within Flowing Cloud's body.

At the same time, the aura emanating from Flowing Cloud's body surged explosively, growing increasingly dense.

After a moment, Flowing Cloud slowly opened his eyes, and a glint flashed through his pitch-black pupils.

Was this the power of the Dou Shi Realm?

Feeling the immense power within his body, excitement appeared in Flowing Cloud's eyes.

After absorbing the energy within the Profound Origin Pill, his strength had now reached the Dou Shi Realm.

And Flowing Cloud had taken only three days to achieve this.

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.

"I finally have a little ability to protect myself now!"

Clenching his fists, the power contained within his body finally gave Flowing Cloud a trace of security in this unfamiliar world.

"It has been three days. There are only twelve days left until the next auction. I wonder how Sister Ya Fei's preparations are coming along?"

For Flowing Cloud, holding auctions was the best way to increase his strength quickly.

Therefore, he was deeply concerned about whether the next auction could proceed as planned.

"It is time for me to take action as well."

Thinking of the promise he had made to Ya Fei that day, Flowing Cloud made up his mind.

"Nameless..."

Then, Flowing Cloud called out softly.

As soon as his voice fell, a black shadow appeared in Flowing Cloud's room.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Dressed in black and seeming to blend into the darkness, Nameless suddenly appeared and asked Flowing Cloud, his attitude extremely respectful.

"System, inspect Nameless's attributes."

Looking at the black-clad Nameless before him, an idea suddenly occurred to Flowing Cloud, and he silently addressed the system.

Ever since summoning Nameless, Flowing Cloud had not taken the time to properly understand him.

Although he already knew that Nameless possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor, aside from his formidable concealment abilities, Flowing Cloud knew nothing of his other methods.

This time, Flowing Cloud intended to have him handle matters for him, so he naturally needed to understand him thoroughly.

The next moment, an attribute screen appeared before Flowing Cloud.

Nameless

Strength: Six-star Dou Huang

Cultivation Method: Shadow Art (Earth Tier Beginner)

Dou Techniques: Demonic Shadow Tracing (Earth Tier Beginner), Ghostly Claw (Earth Tier Beginner)

After reading Nameless's abilities and attributes, Flowing Cloud nodded inwardly.

Nameless actually possessed the strength of a Six-star Dou Huang.

Even among Dou Huangs, such strength was considered above average.

This result exceeded Flowing Cloud's expectations.

However, Flowing Cloud could also tell that Nameless's cultivation method and techniques were geared toward concealment.

Moreover, both Nameless's cultivation method and Dou Techniques had reached the Earth Tier Beginner level.

Such a foundation was something even some top-tier Dou Huang experts did not possess.

Nameless had even cultivated an Earth-tier Movement Technique, Demonic Shadow Tracing.

One had to know that among all Dou Techniques, Movement Techniques were the most precious.

With Demonic Shadow Tracing at his side, combined with the exceptional concealment effects of the Shadow Art itself—

If Nameless wanted to escape, then with his strength as a Six-star Dou Huang, even a Nine-star Dou Huang would likely be unable to do anything to him.

This Demonic Shadow Tracing Movement Technique was absolutely a divine skill for preserving one's life!

Flowing Cloud remembered that in the original story, Xiao Yan had repeatedly achieved remarkable feats in battle by relying on an Earth-tier Movement Technique—Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

Thus, Flowing Cloud greatly coveted this Demonic Shadow Tracing as well.

It would be wonderful if I could learn it too.

Eh...

At that moment, a flash of inspiration passed through Flowing Cloud's mind.

That was right!

Why couldn't he cultivate Demonic Shadow Tracing himself?

The system had never said that he could not cultivate Demonic Shadow Tracing, had it?

Nameless was someone he had summoned. Everything Nameless possessed should belong to him.

He simply did not know whether auctioning off Demonic Shadow Tracing could trigger the system's return.

Another bold thought emerged in Flowing Cloud's mind.

If it could, then what kind of treasure would he receive if he auctioned off Demonic Shadow Tracing and the Shadow Art?

Thinking of this, Flowing Cloud could not help but grow excited.

However, these were merely Flowing Cloud's conjectures for now and would have to be tested later.

After making his plans, Flowing Cloud turned his gaze to Nameless before him.

"Nameless, I want to learn Demonic Shadow Tracing. Can you teach me?"

There was a trace of probing in Flowing Cloud's gaze.

Hearing this, Nameless was slightly stunned, as though he had never expected Flowing Cloud to make such a request.

Although he had been summoned by Flowing Cloud, apart from being absolutely loyal to him, Nameless was no different from an ordinary person and possessed his own ability to think.

"Nameless obeys!"

Although puzzled, Nameless did not hesitate in the slightest and agreed immediately.

As soon as he spoke, a black scroll appeared in Nameless's hand.

"Young Master, please."

Nameless directly handed the black scroll to Flowing Cloud.

"Uh..."

"Al... all right..."

Nameless's straightforwardness left Flowing Cloud momentarily stunned. Once he came to his senses, he immediately took the black scroll from Nameless's hand, his face filled with excitement.

It actually worked!

Having obtained an Earth-tier Movement Technique so easily, Flowing Cloud could barely conceal the delight in his eyes.

With this Demonic Shadow Tracing, his guarantee of survival had risen another level.

Yet amid his excitement, Flowing Cloud felt slightly awkward as he looked at Nameless before him.

After all, as the master, it was somewhat embarrassing for him to cultivate his subordinate's cultivation method.

After thinking it over, Flowing Cloud took out a gray scroll and a Blood-colored Scroll from his Space Ring.

"Nameless, this is the Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique, Sky Covering Palm, and the Heavenly Tier Primary Cultivation Method, Myriad Beasts True Scripture. Take them and cultivate them."

Flowing Cloud handed the two scrolls to Nameless.

Since he had received a benefit, Flowing Cloud did not forget to return the favor.

Moreover, doing so would also improve Nameless's strength.

Nameless had been summoned by him and was one hundred percent loyal to him. He could be considered part of Flowing Cloud's own strength.

Improving Nameless's strength was equivalent to improving his own strength.

Therefore, Flowing Cloud would not be stingy in the slightest.

In any case, he had already memorized both the Sky Covering Palm and the Myriad Beasts True Scripture. Keeping these two scrolls with him served no purpose.

What Flowing Cloud needed to do now was make the greatest possible use of these two scrolls.

"An Earth Tier Mid-grade Dou Technique!"

"A Heavenly Tier Primary Cultivation Method!"

Upon hearing Flowing Cloud's words, Nameless's usual composure instantly shattered.

He took the two scrolls from Flowing Cloud's hands with slight trembling, disbelief filling his eyes.
