This was the image of a powerhouse Su Xiaobai wanted most!
Before you could react, his Dagger Blade had already slit your throat...
By the time the blood sprayed out, his figure had long since vanished into the crowd!
He killed without a sound or trace.
He kept such a low profile that he practically sank into the dust!
Moreover, there was one major difference between Su Xiaobai and Madman Drake.
Madman Drake was completely shackled by his Dagger Blade. Because of his nimble movement technique, he had long since abandoned his Body Tempering Technique... That was why, once True Fire Hand came out, it had struck Madman Drake straight through, leaving him cold to the heart!
If Su Xiaobai had been facing a Warrior who specialized in the Body Tempering Technique, this strike could have severely wounded him, but killing him cleanly on the spot would probably not have been so easy.
And Automated Skill Training happened to make up for this weakness!
Was his physical strength insufficient?
Then he could set the Body Tempering Technique to train!
One book was not enough? Set two to train and cultivate them simultaneously!
Was his agility and speed insufficient?
Then he could set a movement technique from the agility branch of the Body Tempering Technique, amplify his speed to the point of explosion, and make it impossible for anyone to even catch his shadow!
Was his attack power insufficient?
Then he could set a strength-based Body Tempering Technique. Even with nothing more than a short Dagger Blade, he could split mountains and kill in an instant!
Any weakness could be made up for completely.
From this perspective, Su Xiaobai was an all-rounder... Explosive attacks like the Dagger Blade suited him perfectly!
"Now that I have a weapon, I should choose a suitable Weapon Technique!"
Weapon Techniques were an existence whose difficulty could not be clearly defined among cultivation techniques.
Body Tempering Techniques were simple.
As long as you were willing to endure hardship and cultivate desperately, even if your comprehension was terrible, you would always gain something.
Attribute Techniques required high comprehension. That was a rigid requirement, and there was no way around it.
Weapon Techniques lay somewhere between the two.
Some Weapon Techniques could be understood at a glance and were very simple.
But others were extremely difficult, with a difficulty even greater than researching and cultivating an Attribute Technique!
Fortunately, were these things a problem for Su Xiaobai?
They put no pressure on him at all!
"Blood Rainbow Kill..."
"Crimson Moon..."
"Heavenly Jun Flash..."
"Azure Demon Blade..."
"These Dagger Blade-type Weapon Techniques have some pretty flashy names!"
"After looking through them, most Microscopic Level Weapon Techniques seem more or less the same... I suppose the ones available for public borrowing here aren't anything particularly formidable!"
The Warrior Hall was open to everyone. As long as you had money, you could learn there.
But truly impressive, extraordinary techniques—how could you learn those just by having money?
The moment such a thing appeared, the great lineages would immediately fight over it and take it back for their own clansmen!
That was why most of the techniques placed here had roughly equal power.
"Blood Kill. I like this name. I'll take it!"
Su Xiaobai directly chose one according to his preference.
He paid Ten Thousand Spirit Coins to study it for one hour.
As for the weapon, Su Xiaobai took out a Low Alloy Grade Dagger Blade he had obtained from Madman Drake.
The Dagger Blade had grooves running along it, giving it a futuristic, sci-fi appearance. It looked especially cool.
If a Low Alloy Grade weapon were sold outside, it would cost at least seven or eight hundred thousand... Clearly, Madman Drake had saved him quite a bit of money!
"Ding! Soaring Transformation has been upgraded to Intermediate Grade!"
Su Xiaobai was still carefully reading through the technique's contents when the system notification suddenly rang out.
Intermediate Grade!
A glint flashed through Su Xiaobai's eyes!
With a Microscopic Level agility technique reaching Intermediate Grade, his movement speed had astonishingly reached the Advanced Warrior level... If he faced Madman Drake again now, he would no longer be like last time, when every attack was dodged by Madman Drake and a casual strike could leave Madman Drake severely wounded!
"Not bad. Just in time to free up a slot for Blood Kill!"
He did not need an entire hour. After half an hour, Su Xiaobai had already memorized the contents in full.
"Scanning the host's brain!"
"Technique Blood Kill found. It has been placed!"
As the system notification sounded, Su Xiaobai finally stood up and stretched lazily.
All done!
Next, he only needed to wait about six hours to raise this Microscopic Level Weapon Technique to Beginner Grade!
Mastering a Microscopic Level Weapon Technique in six hours—if he told anyone, no one would probably believe him... Yet to Su Xiaobai, this was nothing more than the most basic operation!
If not for his lack of money, and if he could upgrade it several more times, he probably would not even need six hours. A few minutes would be enough!
"Automated Cultivation and Automated Skill Training have both reached Level 5, while Automated Monster Hunting is still only Level 3... Next, I need to hurry and raise Automated Monster Hunting to Level 5. I really want to see what the next system function is!"
Before all three system functions reached Level 5 together, Su Xiaobai could not even know what the next system function was.
But anyone could figure out with their heels that it would definitely be an incredibly powerful cheat-like divine tool!
Even if it was not as BUG-like as Automated Cultivation, Automated Skill Training, and Automated Monster Hunting, it would certainly provide enormous help to Su Xiaobai's personal growth!
That night.
"Ding! Blood Kill has reached Beginner Grade!"
Su Xiaobai was still alone in his bedroom, trying to swing his dagger, when the system notification suddenly sounded. Beginner Grade Blood Kill had been successfully completed!
In an instant, Su Xiaobai felt a huge amount of information flood into his mind!
He closed his eyes, and the hand gripping the dagger began to swing unconsciously.
In barely two minutes, Su Xiaobai seemed to have swung the Dagger Blade millions of times in another space, cultivating Blood Kill over and over until it had been thoroughly carved into his bones!
When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint unconsciously flashed through them—the same sort of sharpness he had once seen in Madman Drake's gaze!
"So... this is Blood Kill!"
Su Xiaobai casually swung his hand.
Whoosh!
A chunk slid diagonally from the corner of the wooden chair... The cut surface was as smooth and even as a mirror. Its sharpness was truly peerless!
Su Xiaobai checked his current status:
Human: Su Xiaobai Realm Level: Beginner Warrior Strength Level: Advanced Warrior Endurance Level: Advanced Warrior Agility Level: Advanced Warrior Cultivation Aptitude: Lowest Grade Mastered Techniques: Vajra Body (Intermediate Grade), Soaring Transformation (Intermediate Grade), True Fire Hand (Beginner Grade), Blood Kill (Beginner Grade) Unlocked System Functions: One-Click Cultivation (Level 5), One-Click Skill Practice (Level 5), Automated Monster Hunting (Level 3)
(PS: To answer some questions from readers in the review section: 1. The protagonist has trash Cultivation Aptitude, but the Automated Cultivation system does not; it was mentioned that it belongs to the Intermediate Grade Cultivation Aptitude. 2. The protagonist definitely will not become a Guest Elder later on! 3. I may have accidentally deleted some reviews when highlighting them, and I'm terribly sorry! 4. I can't reply in the review section, but if everyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you, thank you~.)
