Indestructible Vajra Technique

Riding back to Huang Manor, he found the main gates naturally shut and bolted.

Several lanterns hung within the manor, while a few guards patrolled the courtyard through the night.

A Flower Picking Thief had recently appeared in Suzhou City. Though Huang Manor had no unmarried young ladies, it possessed a fortune in wealth and still feared thieves breaking in.

Huang Shaojie did not want to call for the gate, lest he disturb his parents' sleep.

So he dismounted, directly hoisted the horse weighing over a thousand jin onto his shoulder, then leaped over the wall and entered the manor.

After setting down the horse, Huang Shaojie made another leap and jumped into the small courtyard where he lived.

"A thief! A thief has broken in! Come catch the thief!!!"

The tiger-skin parrot hanging in its cage in the courtyard flapped its wings and shrieked at the top of its lungs.

That howl drew over the guards patrolling the night.

"There's a thief! Get up and catch him!"

"Where did this little wretch come from, daring to steal from Huang Manor!"

"Hit him! Beat this little wretch to death!"

Several night guards rushed over with sabers in hand, shouting and beating gongs as they came.

Though these guards had practiced martial arts, they were only at the first or second level of the Acquired Realm. They could easily handle a few ordinary people, but they would be no match for even a slightly capable thief.

The guards had no idea whether this thief was formidable, so they beat the gongs and shouted mainly in hopes of scaring him away.

The clamor of gongs and shouting instantly woke everyone in Huang Manor.

Not only did the dozen or so servants all come out carrying weapons, but even Huang Baiwan and his wife emerged with clubs in hand, surrounded by several guards carrying torches.

"What little wretch dares sneak into my, Huang Baiwan's, manor to steal? My son is an officer of the Imperial Guard!"

Huang Baiwan shouted to bolster his courage, though more than anything, he wanted to frighten the thief away.

Huang Shaojie did not know whether to laugh or cry. He called out, "Father, I'm back!"

"Young Master, you're back?"

Hearing her young master's voice, Xiao He ran delightedly out of her room.

When she had heard people outside shouting that there was a thief, she had been so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed a stick and hid behind the door.

"It's the young master! He's back!"

One of the guards cried out joyfully, holding up a lantern.

Huang Baiwan and Madam Huang entered the courtyard with the servants. Under the lantern light, they indeed saw their precious eldest son standing beneath the corridor, pointing at the parrot's cage and scolding it.

"You rotten bird! You don't even recognize your own master? What are you screeching for?"

"If you don't use the gate and sneakily climb over the wall, you're a thief," the parrot cried indignantly.

The sight was so amusing that everyone could not help laughing.

"You brat, why didn't you have someone open the gate for you? You climb over the wall even when coming home—no wonder this parrot thought a thief had come."

Huang Baiwan walked over and chuckled at his son.

"That's right, that's right," the parrot chimed in.

"Jie'er, haven't you been catching that Flower Thief at night these past few days? Why did you come back tonight before dawn?"

Madam Huang stepped forward and asked with concern.

"The Flower Thief was caught tonight, so I came back. I was afraid of waking you, so I carried the horse over the wall. Oh, right, the horse is still in the courtyard. Have someone lead it to the stables, so it doesn't leave droppings everywhere."

Huang Shaojie pointed in the direction from which he had climbed over the wall.

Several servants hurried off to look for the horse.

"The Flower Thief was caught? That's wonderful!" Madam Huang's face lit up as she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hey, you brat, what did you just say? You carried a horse over the wall? That yellow-maned horse weighs at least a thousand jin. You could carry it?"

Huang Baiwan simply did not believe what his son had just said.

He knew perfectly well what his son was capable of.

Let alone carrying a horse—he might not even be able to carry a grown girl.

Just as he spoke, a servant's voice came from over there. "We found the horse! Hurry and lead it to the stables."

"No way... you really carried this horse over the wall into the courtyard?"

Huang Baiwan's eyes widened. He was utterly dumbfounded!

Carrying a horse weighing over a thousand jin over a wall more than a zhang high?

What kind of immortal feat was that?

His son was no martial arts expert. He was a useless good-for-nothing who could not even lift a grown girl. How could he possibly carry a horse over the wall?

"Jie'er, how exactly did you get the horse over the wall and into the courtyard?"

Madam Huang asked her son in equal astonishment.

"Master, Madam, you don't know this, but Young Master is incredibly skilled in martial arts now!"

Xiao He praised him proudly.

Huang Baiwan and his wife looked at each other, startled, delighted, and bewildered.

Just as they were about to question their son, Huang Shaojie cut them off.

"Father, Mother, go back to your room and sleep. I'm tired too."

With that, he yawned and headed into his room.

Xiao He hurried after him to make his bed.

"Xiao He, how about warming my bed for me tonight?"

Huang Shaojie stepped forward, gave Xiao He's pert backside a slap, and teased her with a grin.

"Young Master, you're being improper again."

Xiao He's face instantly turned scarlet. She brushed aside her young master's hand, then left the room with a flushed face, closed the door, and returned to her own room.

Congratulations to the host for solving the serial flower-picking case and capturing the Flower Picking Thief. Reward: the first level of the Peerless Divine Skill, Indestructible Vajra Technique.

As the system's reward notification sounded, a beam of black light suddenly erupted from Huang Shaojie's body, making him look like a glowing iron man.

The black light lasted several seconds before gradually fading away.

By then, Huang Shaojie's body had been transformed by the first level of the Indestructible Vajra Technique, and he had also mastered its cultivation method.

Indestructible Vajra is a passive divine skill.

Even while asleep, it will provide self-protection if attacked.

"The Indestructible Vajra Technique is quite good!"

A satisfied smile curled Huang Shaojie's lips.

He felt another immense surge of energy within his body, as though he could break through to the second level of the Innate Realm at any moment.

The Indestructible Vajra Technique was a supreme divine skill no less impressive than the Wind God Leg.

It was said that once cultivated to its pinnacle, one's body would become immune to all poisons and impervious to blades and spears—standing undefeated.

"System, how many levels does this Indestructible Vajra Technique have?"

Huang Shaojie asked.

The system explained:

The Indestructible Vajra Technique is divided into three levels.

First level: When the divine skill is activated, the body becomes as hard as iron and stone. No one below the Grandmaster Stage can harm it in the slightest. It is also immune to ordinary poisons and sleeping drugs.

Second level: When the divine skill is activated, the body becomes as hard as refined steel. No one below the Great Grandmaster can harm it in the slightest. The body becomes immune to all poisons.

Third level: When the divine skill is activated, the body transforms into vajra. Even a Great Grandmaster cannot harm it in the slightest, and it can withstand every strange poison in the world.

After hearing the system's introduction, Huang Shaojie was overjoyed!

Though he was only at the first level now, no one below the Grandmaster Stage could harm him in the slightest.

In other words, even if he stood still and allowed an expert at the Ninth Level of Innate Realm to attack him, he would not suffer the slightest injury.

Moreover, even a Grandmaster-level expert would find it difficult to kill him.

With the first level of the Indestructible Vajra Technique, ordinary poisons and sleeping drugs no longer had any effect on him.

It was like adding another layer of insurance to himself.

Huang Shaojie undressed, climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and began circulating the Wind God Leg's internal cultivation method.

After obtaining the first level of the Indestructible Vajra Technique, the True Essence Qi within his body had increased considerably. He should be able to break through to the second level of the Innate Realm immediately.

After three minor circulations.

The True Essence Qi within his body finally broke through the barrier, reaching the second level of the Innate Realm!

Huang Shaojie satisfactorily withdrew his cultivation, fell onto the bed, and went to sleep.
