Su Xiaobai sifted through the Microscopic Level Techniques in the Martial Arts Pavilion, looking for the ones he wanted to cultivate.

Although he had the Automated Training Space, he could currently only cultivate one technique at a time. Naturally, Su Xiaobai had to carefully choose the one that would benefit him the most!

But after casually glancing at the prices of those Microscopic Level Techniques, the corner of his mouth twitched.

These things really weren't meant for ordinary people to learn!

Any random Microscopic Level Technique started at over ten thousand Spirit Coins, with expensive ones costing tens of thousands, or even over a hundred thousand!

Especially the most precious Attribute Techniques.

There were no Microscopic Level ones at all, only Beginner Level ones.

Even for Beginner Level ones, the lowest price was � Ten Thousand Spirit Coins per hour!

"No wonder those wealthy great families only get richer and richer... the cost of training alone is on a completely different level!"

Su Xiaobai grumbled.

Despite the steep prices, he did not give up on choosing.

And precisely because of those prices, Su Xiaobai could more clearly tell which techniques were incredible and which were mediocre.

The cheaper the price, the more it meant that the technique had already been tested by those before him and found wanting.

The more expensive it was, the more it showed that Warriors flocked to it, driving up its price.

Of course, there might be some overlooked bargains among them.

But where in this world were there so many bargains waiting for you to pick up?

Su Xiaobai looked back and forth several times.

"Body Tempering Techniques can strengthen the body and increase strength. I definitely need a Microscopic Level one!"

"As for Weapon Techniques, I'm not cultivating any weapons right now, so I don't need one for the moment."

"Attribute Techniques can strike out wind, thunder, fire, and the like from thin air. Their attack power is strong enough too, so I definitely need one!"

After some consideration, Su Xiaobai finally made his decision.

"You three it is!"

He selected three techniques.

Two of them were Microscopic Level Body Tempering TechniquesAdamantine Body and Soaring Transformation!

The remaining one was a Beginner Level Attribute TechniqueTrue Fire Hand!

Adamantine Body went without saying. Just from its name, it was clearly a technique that strengthened the body's defense and endurance while emphasizing physical strength. Price: 30,000 Spirit Coins per hour.

Soaring Transformation, meanwhile, was a purely Movement Technique. Upon reaching the Beginner Level, it could double one's movement speed... if it reached the Highest Grade, one's movement speed would become ten times what it originally was! Price: 20,000 Spirit Coins per hour.

Although True Fire Hand was only a Beginner Level Attribute Technique, its power was equally terrifying. Once it reached the Beginner Level, the hand of true fire it formed could melt through metal and stone. Just imagine how frightening the consequences would be if it struck an ordinary person!

Thus, it had the highest price: 140,000 Spirit Coins per hour!

With that, Su Xiaobai's � Ten Thousand Spirit Coins were spent until only a paltry ten thousand remained.

"Begin training!"

Because Su Xiaobai had spent � Ten Thousand Spirit Coins in one go, the Warrior Hall gave him an A-Class Training Room for three hours of personal use.

The spiritual energy in an A-Class Training Room was several times denser than outside. Whether cultivating or practicing techniques, one could achieve twice the result with half the effort!

But this was completely meaningless to Su Xiaobai.

Because he did not need spiritual energy at all.

All he needed was a table and a chair, then he simply had to quietly and carefully read through the three books once.

Still, techniques were different from textbooks.

They contained not only words, but illustrations as well.

He had to remember every single detail of the poses in those drawings. If he could not remember them, he would not be able to practice them. So Su Xiaobai was extremely serious... after all, he had spent so much money!

One day later.

"Ding! Adamantine Body has reached the Beginner Level!"

Hearing the system prompt, Su Xiaobai felt an enormous change suddenly occur throughout his body!

His originally fair skin seemed to have been plated with a layer of gold, reflecting the light.

His muscles became firmer than ever before. His entire body grew several degrees heavier, and even casually clenching his fist felt completely different from before!

"As expected of a Microscopic Level Technique. This effect is simply incredible!"

Su Xiaobai was overjoyed.

He casually took a fork and stabbed it viciously into his own skin.

Crack.

The fork twisted on the spot, yet it could not even leave a white mark on his skin!

A Microscopic Level Body Tempering Technique was truly extraordinary!

Even though it had only reached the Beginner Level, the benefits it brought far exceeded those of the Basic Body Tempering Method!

One had to know that Body Tempering Techniques were different from Weapon Techniques and Attribute Techniques.

They provided permanent enhancement.

When activating a Weapon Technique, one needed to consume spiritual energy. Attribute Techniques were the same... so if one's spiritual energy could not keep up, they would soon become unusable.

But once a Body Tempering Technique strengthened the physical body, that strength lasted for a lifetime!

"Crushing things takes no effort at all!"

With a casual squeeze, Su Xiaobai kneaded the iron fork into a ball of iron.

He then grabbed the stone propping up a table leg.

Crack.

The stone shattered on the spot!

Yet his skin remained completely unscathed!

"Haha, awesome!"

Su Xiaobai tirelessly conducted all sorts of tests, enjoying his newfound strength.

On the second day.

"Ding! Soaring Transformation has reached the Beginner Level!"

That very night, Su Xiaobai switched techniques. Reaching the Beginner Level was easy, but advancing to the Intermediate Level would be much harder.

Whoosh!

Su Xiaobai found an open area, kicked off the ground, and shot forward like an arrow released from the bow!

He covered one kilometer in less than � seconds!

At this speed, he was already more terrifying than an ordinary Warrior!

After all, he was already a Senior Quasi-Warrior, only one step away from becoming a Warrior.

Now, with the doubled speed boost of the Microscopic Level Soaring Transformation, his movement, speed, reaction time, and every other aspect received a massive boost!

"This feels amazing!"

"The feeling of having strength is truly intoxicating!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Su Xiaobai's eyes.

He could finally understand why, despite the Warrior's path being so difficult, countless people still rushed forward one after another... because once you broke through and gained strength, you would become obsessed with the feeling of this transcendent transformation!

And the further you went, the more addicted you became!

On the seventh day.

"Ding! True Fire Hand has reached the Beginner Level!"

The system prompt made Su Xiaobai, who was in the middle of eating, jolt upright.

It was finally here!

He had waited one day for Adamantine Body.

He had also waited only one day for Soaring Transformation.

But for True Fire Hand, he had waited a full five days!

This showed just how much more difficult Attribute Techniques were to cultivate than other techniques!

Even in the Automated Training Space with double the flow of time, cultivating nonstop every � hours without consuming spiritual energy, it had taken a full five days... if it were anyone else, they would need to consume spiritual energy, fully comprehend it, and practice it over and over. Without a year and a half, they might not even reach the Beginner Level!

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I'm full. I'm going out for a run to walk off the food!"

After leaving those words behind, Su Xiaobai headed straight to the open area from before.

He looked around, and only after making sure no one was nearby did he stare at a boulder as tall as a person before slowly raising his palm.

A surge of spiritual energy gathered. Su Xiaobai's palm seemed to catch fire, beginning to glow with a light like flames and molten lava!

Su Xiaobai's palm looked as though it had transformed into a red-hot branding iron, an especially chilling sight!

"True Fire Hand!"

Boom!

Su Xiaobai blasted out with his palm. The flaming handprint slammed into the stone, and the boulder exploded on the spot.
