This is exactly the kind of powerful stance Su Xiaobai wanted most!
Before you even react, his dagger blade has already slit your throat...
By the time the blood sprays out, his figure has long since vanished into the crowd!
Killing without a trace, unseen and unknown.
Low-key to the point of being invisible!
Not only that, but there was one biggest difference between Su Xiaobai and Madman Drake.
Madman Drake was completely restricted by the dagger blade—because of his agile footwork, his Body Tempering Technique had long been neglected to the point of uselessness... That was exactly why True Fire Hand had pierced straight through Madman Drake and chilled him to the core!
If it had been a warrior specializing in Body Tempering Techniques, Su Xiaobai's strike could have inflicted heavy damage, but killing him cleanly on the spot wouldn't have been so easy.
And Automated Skill Training happened to make up for this weakness!
Not enough physical toughness?
Then set a Body Tempering Technique to train!
One isn't enough? Set two, and cultivate them simultaneously!
Not enough agility and speed?
Then set a Body Tempering agility and footwork-type technique, boosting speed to explosive levels, making it impossible for anyone to even catch your shadow!
Not enough attack power?
Then set a Body Tempering strength-type technique—even with just a short dagger blade, you can split mountains with an Instant Kill!
Any weakness can be completely compensated for.
From this perspective, Su Xiaobai was an all-rounder... The dagger blade, a burst-type attack, suited him perfectly!
"Now that I have a weapon, I should pick a suitable Weapon Technique!"
Among techniques, Weapon Techniques had an unclear difficulty level.
Body Tempering Techniques were simple.
As long as you were willing to endure hardship and train relentlessly, even with poor comprehension, you could still gain something.
Attribute Techniques required high comprehension—that was a hard requirement, no way around it.
Weapon Techniques fell somewhere in between.
Some Weapon Techniques were easy to grasp with just a little guidance.
But others were extremely difficult, even harder than delving into and cultivating Attribute Techniques!
Fortunately, for Su Xiaobai, was this even a problem?
No pressure at all!
"Blood Rainbow Kill..."
"Crimson Moon..."
"Heavenly Flash..."
"Azure Demon Blade..."
"These dagger-type Weapon Techniques all have pretty flashy names!"
"Looking through them all, most of the Microscopic Level Weapon Techniques are about the same... I suppose the ones available for public borrowing here won't have anything particularly amazing."
The Warrior Hall was open to everyone—as long as you had money, you could learn.
But truly extraordinary, out-of-the-ordinary techniques—where could you learn those just with money?
The moment something like that appeared, the big families would immediately fight over it and take it back for their own clansmen to use!
So what was placed here was mostly similar in power.
"Blood Kill—I like that name. I'll take this one!"
Su Xiaobai chose one based purely on preference.
He paid ten thousand Spirit Coins for one hour of study.
As for the weapon, Su Xiaobai pulled out the Low Alloy Grade dagger blade he had obtained from Madman Drake.
This dagger blade had blood grooves running along its body, giving it a futuristic sci-fi look, exceptionally cool.
The value of a Low Alloy Grade weapon, if placed on the outside market, would be at least seven or eight hundred thousand... It seemed Madman Drake had saved him quite a bit of money!
"Ding! Soaring Transformation has been upgraded to Intermediate!"
Su Xiaobai was still seriously reading the technique content when suddenly the system notification sounded.
Intermediate!
Su Xiaobai's eyes flickered!
Reaching Intermediate in a Microscopic Level agility technique meant his footwork speed had now reached the Advanced Warrior level... If he were to face Madman Drake again at this point, he would no longer have every attack dodged like last time—a single casual strike would be enough to severely wound Madman Drake!
"Not bad, this frees up a slot for Blood Kill!"
It didn't take an hour—half an hour later, Su Xiaobai had fully memorized the content.
"Scanning host brain!"
"Weapon Technique Blood Kill detected. Placed!"
As the system's prompt sounded, Su Xiaobai finally stood up and stretched broadly.
All done!
Now he only needed to wait about six hours for this Microscopic Level Weapon Technique to reach Beginner!
Mastering a Microscopic Level Weapon Technique in six hours—if he told anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it... But for Su Xiaobai, this was just the most basic, low-end operation!
If he hadn't been short on funds, upgrading it a few more times would have cut it down to mere minutes, not even six hours!
"Automated Cultivation and Automated Skill Training are both at Level 5, but Automated Monster Hunting is still at Level 3... I need to hurry up and level that next. I want to see what the next system function is!"
Until all three system functions reached Level 5 together, Su Xiaobai couldn't even know what the next function would be.
But even thinking with his heels, he knew it had to be an incredibly overpowered cheat tool!
Even if it wasn't as buggy as Automated Cultivation, Automated Skill Training, and Automated Monster Hunting, it would definitely be a huge boost to Su Xiaobai's personal growth!
That night.
"Ding! Blood Kill has reached Beginner!"
Su Xiaobai was still in his bedroom, alone, trying to wave a dagger around when the system prompt rang out—Beginner Blood Kill was successfully done!
In an instant, Su Xiaobai felt a flood of information pour into his mind!
He closed his eyes, and his hand gripping the dagger began to swing unconsciously.
In just under two minutes, Su Xiaobai seemed to be in another space, swinging the Dagger Blade millions of times, practicing Blood Kill over and over until it was etched into his very bones!
When he opened his eyes again, a sharp gleam flashed involuntarily in them—the same sharp gleam he'd once seen in Madman Drake's gaze!
"So... this is Blood Kill!"
Su Xiaobai flicked his wrist.
Shwoosh!
A corner of the wooden chair slid off diagonally, a block of wood falling away... The cut was as smooth and flat as a mirror, its sharpness nothing short of extraordinary!

(PS: Answering some questions from the comment section. 1: The protagonist has trash cultivation aptitude, but the Automated Cultivation system does not—it's been mentioned to be mid-grade aptitude. 2: The protagonist definitely won't stay as a Guest Elder later! 3: I might have accidentally deleted some comments while approving them—my deepest apologies! 4: I can't reply in the comment section, but if anyone has questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, thanks~)
