A One-in-Ten-Thousand Genius!

Zhang Qing returned to his little room.

He shut the door.

Then sat cross-legged on the bed.

First, he checked the panel.

Nice.

His Blood Volume had exceeded a thousand, and he had 21 Attribute Points!

Advance his realm?

Wait.

He would wait for the Chuan Family's spirit pills to arrive.

As for what Chuan Jia had said...

Zhang Qing pondered it.

The Chuan Family's ancestral rites were coming up soon, weren't they?

Why infiltrate the Ghoul Blood Hall?

Could it be that the ancestral rites required something from the Ghoul Blood Hall?

Tomorrow, he would sound Guan Yutian out and see what the Ghoul Blood Hall was all about.

Zhang Qing was a reborn man.

But he had never been to Zi City.

This was not his home turf. All his rebirth gave him was experience and information.

Besides...

He had failed to make anything of himself in his previous life.

Even when the Descending Fusion finally came, he had not brought back any Glimmering Realm power from the Dark Realm.

There was no helping it.

He had died too many times.

Everything had been reset to nothing, and the identities he refreshed afterward had been terrible.

The game experience had been awful.

Yet in this life, he had made it this far.

He was practically at the peak already.

There were many things he needed to slowly learn for himself.

So...

He truly had no idea what the Ghoul Blood Hall did.

Soon after.

Chuan Chao delivered several spirit pills.

His attitude was not only enthusiastic, but also somewhat respectful.

Zhang Qing knew where that change came from.

He did not put on airs and still addressed Chuan Chao as a brother.

This time, Chuan Chao did not spout much nonsense.

After delivering the items, he left.

Zhang Qing let out a breath of relief.

Then he swallowed all the spirit pills.

You consumed a Chuan Flower Pill and gained +3 Attribute Points!

You consumed a Chuan Condensation Pill and gained +3 Attribute Points!

You consumed a Chuan Water Pill and gained +3 Attribute Points!

Three pills.

Nine Attribute Points.

Zhang Qing began his breakthrough.

He poured eight Attribute Points into his physique.

Congratulations, you have met the requirements to break through. Would you like to break through?

"Break through!"

Breakthrough successful. You have successfully advanced to the third tier of the Glimmering Realm!
Reward gained: Physique +1!

It worked.

He now had 22 Attribute Points left.

Should he push through another tier?

Better hold steady for now.

Advancing two tiers in one night would be hard to explain.

Besides, Attribute Points would not disappear if he saved them.

As for Cultivation Techniques...

Invest!

Of course, one level each would be enough.

Otherwise, his body would not be able to handle it.

Cultivation Techniques could provide hidden combat power.

A Cultivation Technique at Great Perfection was terrifying.

Soon after.

He invested four Attribute Points.

He had 18 Attribute Points left.

Congratulations, your Kaiyuan Art proficiency has increased; Low-grade Glimmer Kaiyuan Art; 1/1000 EXP (Great Perfection!)

Congratulations, your Sky-Opening Slash proficiency has increased; Low-grade Glimmer Sky-Opening Slash; 1/1000 EXP (Great Perfection!)

Congratulations, your Chuan Shattering Steps proficiency has increased; Low-grade Glimmer Chuan Shattering Steps; 1/1000 EXP (Great Perfection!)

Congratulations, your Ox-Barbarian Strength proficiency has increased; Low-grade Glimmer Ox-Barbarian Strength; 1/1000 EXP (Great Perfection!)

A massive amount of experience and muscle memory flooded into his mind.

Zhang Qing felt his head swell slightly.

Only after a moment did he recover.

At this point...

Every Cultivation Technique he had mastered...

Had reached Great Perfection!

And the combat power granted by Great Perfection Cultivation Techniques surpassed their own grades.

In other words...

A Low-grade Glimmer Sky-Opening Slash at Great Perfection was far more powerful than an entry-level or even proficient Mid-grade Glimmer attack technique!

And if he upgraded it further, it would become an entry-level Mid-grade Glimmer Sky-Opening Slash.

Should he switch Cultivation Techniques?

Heh heh.

The advantage of rebirth was showing itself.

Knowing the information in advance could save him a great deal of trouble!

The answer was: no need!

This was an invisible privilege of the Dark Realm.

When Cultivation Techniques enhanced with Attribute Points surpassed their original quality, they underwent earth-shaking changes.

Because...

The Attribute Points would automatically complete or match the power needed for their grade increase.

Their power would then far surpass that of the original creator of the technique!

With one set of four Cultivation Techniques...

Zhang Qing could use them for the rest of his life.

The more points he invested, the stronger they would become and the fewer limitations they would have.

Attribute Points would make up for everything.

That was also why Zhang Qing had not deliberately selected his Cultivation Techniques.

After all, once Attribute Points were invested in them, they would all become powerful.

At most, if he came across some secret art or ultimate move later, he could just practice it.

He opened the panel.

Zhang Qing!

Martial Path: Third tier of the Glimmering Realm!

Blood Volume: 1040/1195!

Physique: 31!

Intelligence: 1!

Cultivation Techniques: Kaiyuan Art (Low-grade Glimmer Great Perfection!) Sky-Opening Slash (Low-grade Glimmer Great Perfection!) Chuan Shattering Steps (Low-grade Glimmer Great Perfection!) Ox-Barbarian Strength (Low-grade Glimmer Great Perfection!)

Attribute Points: 18!

The panel was gradually filling out.

Zhang Qing rose to his feet.

Immediately, a series of crackling sounds came from his body.

This advancement was no less than a complete rebirth.

It was probably because of his Cultivation Techniques.

Zhang Qing's current combat power...

Could no longer be described as merely third tier of the Glimmering Realm.

At this tier, he was practically beyond the standard.

Cultivation Techniques at Great Perfection were utterly terrifying!

Whew.

He let out a long breath.

After finishing all that...

Zhang Qing pressed himself against the door and listened for anyone approaching.

Then...

He logged out at light speed!

He ate, showered...

Then...

He logged back in!

Damn it, being alone really was inconvenient.

It would be great if two people could pioneer the area together.

Then he would not have to race against every second like this!

After logging in, nothing unexpected happened.

So he rested.

The next day.

As expected, Zhang Qing logged out to deal with some matters, then logged in again.

Then...

He went out to work.

That was right.

Going to Razor now felt just like going to work.

Guan Yutian was already waiting at the entrance. When he saw Zhang Qing, he waved.

Then...

"You... advanced again?" Guan Yutian circled Zhang Qing once and asked in astonishment.

"Yeah. Yesterday's battle gave me some insight, and I also took another spirit pill," Zhang Qing said.

"That still doesn't make sense!"

Guan Yutian remained stunned.

"Could it be that you're that one-in-ten-thousand genius?"

Zhang Qing's face darkened.

Please don't call me one-in-ten-thousand.

One-in-ten-thousand geniuses get sniped in the canyon!

I'm just setting up a persona.

Don't make such a big deal out of it.

In the end, Guan Yutian gave up thinking about it and led the patrol.

Ghoul Blood Hall.

"Yang Man, tell me the truth. What Spirit Medicine do you still need? Or what kind of medicinal catalyst?"

"Stop testing the Yu Family's limits!"

Yu An stared coldly at Yang Man before her.

Yang Man froze for a moment, paying no heed to Yu An's threat. Then she said playfully,

"If Miss Yu really wants to know, then I need a Heart of Kindness as a medicinal catalyst!"

"You!"

Yu An nearly exploded with rage.

The Dark Realm!

A Heart of Kindness?

Please, all the good people had long since died out!

But suddenly,

Yu An thought of something.

She smiled.

"A Heart of Kindness, right? There really is one!"

Yang Man's eyes lit up upon hearing that.

"That's wonderful. I seem to remember some things now. Maybe this time, I can recall the pill formula for that elixir."

"I hope you won't disappoint us again!"

After saying that, Yu An left.

As for the Heart of Kindness,

Guan Yutian had once reported that

Zhang Qing would save people in battle.

That sort of quality had already gone extinct in the Dark Realm!

Perhaps that was what a Heart of Kindness was.

After all,

all the good people had long since died out.

Who knew what the hell a Heart of Kindness even was?

They might as well treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

Didn't the Chuan Family want to force someone into the Ghoul Blood Hall?

Then they would give them exactly what they wanted!
