30,500 Martial Arts Points
Several large words gleamed brilliantly.
This was an enormous sum he had never possessed before. Su Chen excitedly rubbed his hands together like a fly.
He had already planned out exactly how to use these Martial Arts Points.
The first thing, naturally, was to raise his cultivation realm.
Next, he would be heading to West Lake Plum Manor to rescue Ren Woxing.
Once this deal was finished, he would most likely become enemies with Dongfang Bubai, who was in the Great Grandmaster Realm.
With Su Chen's current cultivation, he was still no match for Dongfang Bubai.
Besides, Tang Ying'e had mentioned before his death—
Mount Song Sect had already sent word to Qingcheng Sect that Su Chen had killed Yu Canghai.
Qingcheng Sect's retaliation would likely arrive before long.
Whether it was Dongfang Bubai or Qingcheng Sect, neither was an easy opponent to deal with.
If he wanted to get through this safely, he needed profound cultivation to support him.
With that thought, Su Chen did not hesitate in the slightest and silently recited in his heart.
"System, consume Martial Arts Points and raise my cultivation."
Ding! Host has consumed 3,000 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation has risen to Grandmaster (Mid Stage).
After investing three thousand Martial Arts Points, Su Chen's cultivation instantly surged by a great deal, reaching the mid stage of Grandmaster.
His cultivation was now equal to that of the deceased Zuo Lengchan.
However, that was still not enough for him.
"Continue."
Ding! Host has consumed 5,000 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation has risen to Grandmaster (Late Stage).
"Still not enough. Continue." With an expressionless face, Su Chen chose to continue raising his cultivation.
Ding! Host has consumed 10,000 Martial Arts Points. Cultivation has risen to Grandmaster (Peak).
In just a few breaths, Su Chen had spent a full eighteen thousand Martial Arts Points—equivalent to more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Such an enormous expenditure was truly astonishing.
Even though Su Chen had just made a fortune and was feeling extravagantly wealthy, he could not help but feel a pang of pain.
Still, while the expenditure was immense, the results were equally gratifying.
Su Chen's cultivation had risen directly from early-stage Grandmaster to Peak Grandmaster.
He was now only one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster.
This speed was simply faster than riding a rocket.
If the people of the martial world learned of it, it would probably frighten countless people to death.
Feeling the true qi flowing through his body like a surging river, Su Chen wore a satisfied smile.
"Spending a lot is fine. Strength is the foundation of everything; wealth is merely an external possession," Su Chen muttered calmly.
Then, he gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to improving himself.
He still had twelve thousand five hundred Martial Arts Points left.
That was no longer enough to raise his realm by another level.
Therefore, the remaining Martial Arts Points could only be used to improve his other martial arts.
With those thoughts flashing through his mind, Su Chen silently said, "System, consume Martial Arts Points and raise the Unrivaled Saber Technique to Grand Completion."
Ding! Host has consumed 2,000 Martial Arts Points. Unrivaled Saber Technique has risen to Grand Completion.
The Unrivaled Saber Technique had reached Grand Completion!
Su Chen's eyes grew increasingly sharp, and his entire body seemed like a long saber drawn from its sheath, ready to cleave apart everything around him.
If some martial artist with weak skills and an unsteady will encountered Su Chen now—
Merely meeting his gaze would frighten them out of all fighting spirit, leaving them completely limp.
A moment later, Su Chen gathered his thoughts, and the sharp aura around him withdrew entirely into his body.
He looked just like a harmless scholar.
But once the saber intent within him erupted in full, it would surely shake heaven and earth, unstoppable by any man.
"Ten thousand Martial Arts Points remain. It is time to exchange them for a divine body-protecting technique," Su Chen pondered inwardly.
His current situation was one of high offense and low defense.
His killing techniques were extremely powerful, but his own protection was still lacking.
Aside from the Body of Immunity to All Poisons, which protected him from poison, he had no other means of protecting his body.
Under such circumstances, facing an opponent of equal strength would put him at a severe disadvantage.
If he failed to kill his opponent quickly and the opponent seized an opportunity, there was a high chance that he himself would suffer serious injuries.
With that thought, Su Chen immersed his mind in the system and began carefully selecting a body-protecting divine skill.
Su Chen did not even look at the body-protecting divine skills listed at the very top of the system, skipping over them immediately.
It was not that he looked down on them. They were simply too expensive, costing tens or even hundreds of billions of Martial Arts Points at a time.
Even if he worked himself to death and emptied the wealth of the entire world, he might not be able to exchange for one.
Finally, after searching for a while, he found a suitable body-protecting divine skill.
Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill: Price 5,000 Martial Arts Points
"This is the one. System, exchange for the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill."
Ding! Host has consumed 5,000 Martial Arts Points and successfully exchanged for the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.
As the system's voice sounded, a secret martial arts technique appeared in Su Chen's mind.
After roughly reviewing it, Su Chen confirmed that it truly was an extremely powerful body-protecting divine skill.
This was the ultimate divine skill of Undefeated Child Gu Santong from The World's Number One.
Upon reaching the minor mastery stage, it could make one's body as tough as iron and stone, impervious to blades and swords.
Upon reaching the major mastery stage, one could directly transform into a little golden man, indestructible and unstoppable.
If cultivated to Grand Completion, the golden form would return to formlessness.
At that point, even without activating the technique, one's physique would permanently remain at the level of the golden form.
In the original world, Cheng Shifei had ultimately relied on an Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill between major mastery and Grand Completion to clash head-on with Iron Gallant Divine Marquis.
Though he was ultimately defeated.
But it had to be known that Iron Gallant Divine Marquis had then used the Star Absorbing Great Method to absorb the internal energy of countless martial arts experts, bringing his power to an unimaginably terrifying level.
Moreover, he was at the height of his vigor, capable of unleashing one hundred and twenty percent of his strength.
Even in that state, Cheng Shifei had been able to fight him head-on.
That alone showed the terrifying power of the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill.
With that thought, Su Chen stopped hesitating and immediately began spending points to cultivate it.
"System, consume Martial Arts Points to cultivate the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill."
Ding! Host has consumed 1,000 Martial Arts Points. Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill has been cultivated to the Entry stage.
"Continue."
Ding! Host has consumed 3,000 Martial Arts Points. Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill has risen to the minor mastery stage.
After investing a total of four thousand Martial Arts Points, Su Chen successfully cultivated the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill to minor mastery.
The next second, he directly took the ring-pommel saber from the System Space.
Rolling up the sleeve on his left arm, he gripped the saber in his right hand and slashed it across his arm.
The blade passed over it, leaving only a faint white mark without drawing blood.
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
His ring-pommel saber was exceptionally tough and sharp, worthy of being called one of the divine weapons and sharp tools. Calling it capable of cutting iron like mud would not be an exaggeration.
Yet such a sharp blade could leave only a faint white mark on his body.
This was enough to show just how powerful his physique had become.
Afterward, Su Chen returned the saber to the System Space.
With a thought, the system panel appeared.
Host: Su Chen Cultivation: Grandmaster (Peak) Internal Energy: Hundun Treasure Mirror (Fifth Layer—Purple Star River); Nameless Fragmented Scroll (Major Mastery) External Skill: Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill (Minor Mastery) Saber Technique: Unrivaled Saber Technique (Grand Completion) Lightness Skill: Snow-Treading Without Trace (Grand Completion) Weapon: Chi Dragon-Pattern Ring-Pommel Saber Balance: 1,502.5 taels of silver (cannot be used for spending points) Martial Arts Points: 1,500 Physique: Body of Immunity to All Poisons Items: Mount Hua Token, Mount Heng Token
After investing nearly thirty thousand Martial Arts Points, Su Chen had received all-around improvements.
At this moment, even if a Great Grandmaster truly stood before him, he would dare to draw his saber and test himself against them.
After closing the system panel, Su Chen stretched and turned to look northeast.
"Next, set out for West Lake Plum Manor!"
