Re-entering Falling Leaf Forest

Hua Qiang exited the hospital gates, hailed a cab, and sped off towards the Martial Arts Association.

The taxi driver, a middle-aged man around 40, was filled with envy and jealousy the entire ride.

To be a martial artist at such a young age, and seemingly at a high level too.

He thought of his own son, already in his twenties, always hanging out with a bad crowd, never holding down a job.

Every day he needed money for cigarettes and alcohol, constantly meeting up with friends, and even needing his father to bail him out of trouble.

Comparing people really made him angry!

Arriving at the Martial Arts Association building, Hua Qiang quickly paid the fare and bolted from the car.

The driver had been incessantly rambling the whole way, complaining, expressing envy, and even asking for advice on how to become a martial artist.

Hua Qiang was so annoyed.

Finally, some peace and quiet!

He put on his peak martial artist medal and, under the envious gazes of many, rushed towards the cultivation hall upstairs.

Little did Hua Qiang know, his dash upstairs caused many girls along the way to roll their eyes at him, their resentful glares making his teeth ache.

It seemed they had been flirting and trying to attract his attention, but the man hadn't even glanced their way.

The manager responsible for the cultivation hall had already received instructions from President Mo Wuqiong and was waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Hua Qiang arrive, he warmly welcomed him inside and led him to the Mysterious Grade cultivation section.

Arriving in this section, Hua Qiang saw the few cultivation methods protected by energy shields and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

This place is too poor!

For such a large base, to only have this few cultivation methods. Humanity has a long way to go to become strong!

The cultivation method he currently possessed was the low-tier Yellow Grade Brute Ox Strength, which he had already maxed out to the perfect level.

The perfect Brute Ox Strength only added 200% to his combat power.

In other words, his combat power had doubled from its original base.

If he could obtain a higher-grade cultivation method, perhaps his combat power could triple or even quadruple.

However, finding such a cultivation method in this hall was unlikely.

Hua Qiang walked past each counter, looking at the cultivation methods, but found none that satisfied him.

When he reached the very last corner, thinking he would just have to turn around and pick one randomly to make do, his gaze fell upon a somewhat tattered, even incomplete book.

The cover of this book had five large characters: Myriad Life Breath Art. In the bottom left corner of the book, there were two words noted: Incomplete!

Next to this book, there was a dedicated paper with a few lines of text. Hua Qiang read it and saw:

This cultivation method was written by a great being. If one can master it, they can simulate the aura of all things.

However, the cultivation method is incomplete and cannot be fully restored. Choose with caution, learning is not recommended!

Upon reading the description of this book, Hua Qiang was overjoyed!

Isn't this tailor-made for me?

He needed Slaughter Points, which meant he had to continuously kill Exotic Beasts.

If he could simulate the aura of Exotic Beasts, he could freely approach them without being discovered, rejected, or even attacked.

This would make it easier for him to get close to them and slay them.

This is great!

This cultivation method is incomplete; I wonder if my golden finger can complete it?

Hua Qiang used his smart card to open the protective shield and took out the book.

The manager saw Hua Qiang take out this cultivation method and wanted to stop him, but after a moment's thought, he remained silent.

Everyone has their own destiny. Perhaps this cultivation method might yield unexpected results in this young man's hands.

He definitely shouldn't interfere and cause someone to lose an opportunity.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

To be honest, he also coveted this cultivation method, but the word "incomplete" made him give up.

He didn't believe he had the ability to complete this cultivation method.

Because of its incompleteness, this cultivation method had been downgraded to the high-tier Mysterious Grade.

If it were completed, it could be promoted to Earth Grade, or even Heaven Grade.

Hua Qiang flipped through the book from beginning to end, and a voice echoed in his mind.

[You have obtained the high-tier Mysterious Grade cultivation method "Myriad Life Breath Art".

It has been automatically recorded on your panel and is currently at the introductory level.

This cultivation method can be completed using Slaughter Points!]

Hearing this notification, Hua Qiang was overjoyed and immediately began furiously clicking on the cultivation method on his panel.

After a series of operations, he completed the cultivation method. A whopping 200 Slaughter Points were deducted, which felt like a fatal blow.

The moment he saw that the "Myriad Life Breath Art" was displayed as Heaven Grade Intermediate, the pain instantly vanished.

He had stumbled upon an incredible bargain!

Then, with another series of operations, he directly upgraded this cultivation method from beginner to perfect, which cost him another 280 Slaughter Points.

At this, Hua Qiang felt his chest tighten and his throat grow a bit sweet. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, it was too expensive in terms of Slaughter Points!

This time, he had lost a total of 480 points.

His Slaughter Points were now a meager 360.

He was broke!

Next, Hua Qiang selected a defensive combat skill, "Black Tortoise Shield," and a saber technique, "Embracing Moon Saber."

This saber technique could be used for both single duels and group attacks. It was very powerful and the highest grade combat skill he could obtain at the moment.

He then used Slaughter Points to upgrade both of these combat skills, which had already been recorded on his status panel, from beginner level to perfect.

Looking at the Slaughter Points column, a glaringly large "0" met his eyes, a truly shocking sight!

He was completely broke, not a single Slaughter Point left. He absolutely had to go and earn some Slaughter Points. He decided to visit Falling Leaf Forest again tomorrow.

No incidents occurred overnight. The very next morning, Hua Qiang first went to school to ask his homeroom teacher, Jiang Linglong, for leave.

The reason he gave was that his father was injured and hospitalized, his mother had to work, and he needed to help with the care.

After getting permission from Jiang Linglong, Hua Qiang excitedly headed towards Falling Leaf Forest outside the base.

This time, without Mo Yanran as a burden, he decided to go all out!

At the city gate, he presented his Martial Artist badge and successfully exited the city. Then, he bolted towards the direction of Falling Leaf Forest.

A little over ten minutes later, he had successfully entered the outer perimeter and began his delightful reaping journey.

A Level 1 High-Rank green-skinned toad leaped out from a roadside pond.

This toad, larger than a bathtub, puffed out its cheeks and, with its belly heaving in and out, stared intently at Hua Qiang with its two eyes.

Then, it exerted force with its limbs, launching itself into the air and lunging towards Hua Qiang.

Damn it, even toads wanted to eat meat now.

I'm not a swan!

Hua Qiang dodged a spray of venom spat out by the toad. With a swing of his great saber, he sliced the green-skinned toad in half.

Before the toad's corpse even hit the ground, a voice echoed in his mind:

[Slaughter Points +480]

One toad gave 480 points. If he killed a hundred or so, he could earn tens of thousands of Slaughter Points.
