The E Tier Clone Technique was merely meant for deception and carried zero offensive power at all.
Since the system was E Tier, it meant his own cultivation level could only reach the Dou Zhe tier, and after that, he would need to raise the system's tier.
Upgrading the system required energy rather than points, so since that was the case, he might as well exchange all three hundred points for ninjutsu.
Transformation Jutsu!
As for the final option, he would just choose the Substitution Technique.
No, these transformations, clones, and the like were completely useless, and he should select some offensive skills instead.
Then taijutsu it was; he would choose the leg strike.
"Ding! Does the host wish to spend one hundred points to exchange for the taijutsu Leg Strike Technique?"
"Yes!"
"Ding! The Eight Inner Gates Technique has been successfully exchanged!"
The Eight Inner Gates?
Nalan Chaoge froze all of a sudden.
Had he not exchanged for a leg strike technique? How did it turn into the Eight Inner Gates Technique?
The fully opened Eight Inner Gates was an ultimate taijutsu that could gain power dozens of times beyond shadowless strength.
No matter how one looked at it, it had to be an SS tier ninjutsu.
"Ding! System malfunction, an exchange program error has occurred!"
"What should I do then?" Nalan Chaoge asked somewhat worriedly, his little heart still pounding wildly in his chest. Just in case they took it back from him, this joke would be blown way out of proportion.
"Ding! I don't know either, so the host should just let it be like this!"
Pfft!
He had exchanged for an SS tier ninjutsu costing only a hundred points-totally worth it!
Just like every other day, the rising sun ascended, casting its light over the entire ancient, magnificent Marshal's Mansion.
On the Training Ground, the various disciples of the Nalan Family had also begun their daily training.
A dainty little maid with delicate features and pretty brows, dressed in a clean and nimble light-green dress with her sleeves rolled up, was running anxiously through the corridor, shouting as she ran: "Old Master, Old Master, Young Master is awake!"
"Old Master..."
At the end of the corridor was Nalan Jie's study, where Nalan Jie was currently holding a writing brush, calmly writing something.
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Nalan Jie could not help furrowing his brows.
Crash!
The door was pushed open, and the figure of that little maid stumbled inside.
"Old Master..."
"How many times have I told you not to panic when encountering matters? Panicking is useless anyway. Just how big of a problem could there be to make you panic like this?"
Nalan Jie wore a calm expression, highly displeased by the little maid's frantic rush.
"Old Master... this really calls for panic, the problem is huge! Young Master, he has woken up!"
"What..."
Nalan Jie started, and then the old man felt a gust of wind before his eyes; the room was already empty of Nalan Jie's shadow.
Didn't he say not to panic? How come the moment he heard the Young Master woke up, he ran faster than me!
The little maid muttered a couple of times, then hurriedly ran out again.
Only, just as the little girl crossed the Training Ground, she was stopped by a group of Nalan Family disciples.
"Guo'er, what did you just say? The Young Master is awake?"
"Little Guo'er, hurry up and tell Big Brother, how did the Young Master wake up?"
"Can the Young Master cultivate now?"
"Guo'er..."
The little girl was named Guo'er, and she was Nalan Chaoge's personal maid. In ancient times, this kind of maid was commonly referred to as a bedwarmer maid!
To put it plainly, cough, cough-it was that... hehe, you guys know!
These disciples were also the children of some servants within the Nalan Family. They received provisions from the Nalan Family, which trained them uniformly so that these people would become the strength of the Nalan Family in the future.
They were also Nalan Chaoge's strength.
This was different from clans like the Xiao Family; all of them would gather around Nalan Chaoge.
They did this to display their absolute loyalty in hopes of gaining the Nalan Family's recognition, so that they could be put to use by the Nalan Family in days to come.
"This morning, just as I wanted to help Young Master Chaoge wipe his body, then right as I..."
"Wipe his body? How did you wipe it?!"
"That's right, did you two do that thing?!"
"What nonsense are you guys spouting!" Guo'er's face turned beet red, though her expression was coyly unyielding.
"What are you all doing? Give me some hustle and train! The Young Master has woken up, and you must display absolute loyalty to the Nalan Family!"
An elder dressed in a plain cyan robe appeared on the Training Ground, his entire presence extraordinarily imposing.
Upon catching sight of the elder, the group of young disciples instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter, then turned around and started practicing with feigned diligence.
However, when the elder's gaze landed upon Guo'er's blushing face, a trace of gentleness emerged instead. He then turned around and walked toward the direction where Nalan Chaoge resided.
Guo'er froze for a moment before hastily following after him.
Bang!
The door was violently shoved open.
"Xiao Ge, how are you feeling?"
A gray-haired, spirited old man rushed in like a gust of wind.
Although his opening words were an inquiry, his hand had already impatiently pressed down onto Nalan Chaoge's wrist!
"Xiao Ge, you can cultivate now! Hahahaha..."
Nalan Jie let out a long laugh toward the heavens.
Heaven does not disappoint those who put in effort, and it was not in vain that he had suffered from the Poison Mark himself to hunt down the Fiery Poison Seal Python for this kid.
Nalan Jie heavily patted Nalan Chaoge's shoulder.
On the Dou Qi Continent, a man who could not cultivate was even more miserable than being crippled nowadays.
"Mm!" Seeing Nalan Jie's excitement, Nalan Chaoge also felt somewhat happy.
"Strive hard! Grandfather does not expect you to catch up to your elder sister, but Grandfather hopes that on the day Grandfather is no longer around, you can shoulder the Nalan Family. Your elder sister was betrothed to Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family. I heard that kid can no longer cultivate Dou Qi-what a pity!"
"The revival of our Nalan Family rests entirely on your shoulders, understand?"
Hearing Nalan Jie proactively bring up the marriage between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, Nalan Chaoge's mind stirred.
"Grandfather, may I ask you a question?"
"Hm? Go ahead and ask!" Nalan Jie was evidently in high spirits.
"I want to know, ever since my sister and Xiao Yan were betrothed as babes, has Xiao Yan ever paid a visit here?"
Nalan Jie was taken aback, stunned by Nalan Chaoge's words.
Even so, he still solemnly shook his head.
"No! However, Xiao Lin and I were life-or-death sworn brothers. While Xiao Lin was still alive, our two families interacted frequently as well!"
"It's just that Xiao Lin unfortunately died in battle while fighting an enemy, and ever since then, the two families have grown somewhat distant. Even so, I, Nalan Jie, always keep my word. Regarding your sister's marriage, I know Yanran is somewhat reluctant, but no matter how reluctant she is, she is getting married to him anyway!"
There was not the slightest room for negotiation in Nalan Jie's tone.
As expected~!
Nalan Chaoge gave a bitter laugh inwardly.
"After Grandfather Xiao Lin died, did Uncle Xiao Zhan ever come?"
"No."
"Has anyone else from the Xiao Family ever come?"
"No."
"Are we of the Nalan Family nothing in the eyes of the Xiao Family? Is my sister Nalan Yanran unwanted? Regardless of whether Xiao Yan is a genius or good-for-nothing, he has never once laid eyes on his own fiancée, and has never paid respects to his future father-in-law. Is this the etiquette of the Xiao Family?"
Nalan Chaoge spoke eloquently with his head held high, leaving Nalan Jie speechless and at a loss for words.
