West of Baian City, E-rank Abyss, ten minutes earlier.
Ding 1200 Justice Points consumed Three third-rank lightning-element Demonic Beast cores consumed Your Spirit Firmament Thunder Marsh Qi Control Art has been raised to perfection Congratulations, Host, you have unexpectedly comprehended the profound meaning—Thunder Marsh!
The instant the final line of text appeared,
Countless bolts of violet lightning abruptly erupted, their thunderclaps rolling without end.
The Earth Abyss Demonic Beasts' fur all stood on end. They cowered against the rock walls, trembling from head to toe.
Lightning governed slaughter. All living creatures feared it, much less these low-rank Demonic Beasts.
Chu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a smile of understanding appearing on his face.
"Very good. Very powerful!"
With the breathing technique perfected, he no longer needed to actively circulate his cultivation to regulate his breathing.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to have received a summons, surging toward him and flowing through his meridians.
At most, it would take half an hour to completely restore his true qi.
And while his true qi was full,
Chu Sheng could sustain seven or eight hours of high-intensity combat.
Compared to the original Hundred Refinements Breathing Technique, it was an improvement beyond measure.
More importantly, with every breath, Chu Sheng could feel his vitality and blood increasing.
Though the increase was insignificant, it was equivalent to cultivating while idle.
After a whole day, even if he did nothing at all, he could still gain at least several points.
One had to know that his former classmates in the regular class
Had cultivated for two or three years and only accumulated twenty or thirty points of vitality and blood.
In other words,
Even if Chu Sheng did nothing, in merely seven or eight days, the vitality and blood he gained would exceed theirs.
Comparing people could make people furious. That was just how it was when you had no cheat.
"That disturbance just now was so huge, it should attract a few evil NPCs, right...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Sheng saw three people racing toward him.
The one in front was a young man wearing sunglasses.
The two behind him held down the long blades at their waists, making no attempt to conceal the powerful aura of eighth-level Meridian Opening Realm cultivators.
The disturbance Chu Sheng had caused just now had been enormous; nearly half the Earth Abyss could see it.
The three were closest, and thinking some supreme treasure had fallen from the heavens, they rushed over in a hurry.
Upon seeing Chu Sheng, the young man's lips slowly curved upward.
He was not afraid of people being here. He was only afraid that no one would be here.
If there were people, it meant the treasure was likely on him. If there was no one, they would have to search high and low.
When he reached Chu Sheng, the young man slipped both hands into his pockets.
"Hand over the item, or..."
The young man chuckled. Just as the word "die" was about to leave his lips, he saw Chu Sheng frown.
"What the hell are you laughing at!?"
The young man froze, then the smile on his face became even more exaggerated.
The two behind him also revealed mocking smiles.
It had been a long time since they had encountered someone this arrogant.
It seemed being too low-key was not a good thing.
Any random cat or dog dared to put on airs before them.
"You're pretty arrogant, huh~"
"Unfortunately—"
The young man's lips pulled into a Nike-shaped grin.
"Before me, you don't have the qualifications to be arroga... Ah!!"
Before he could finish, Chu Sheng raised a hand and tore his mouth apart.
Then, taking hold of his head, he viciously slammed it into the ground.
"Moron, you think we're playing turn-based combat? Such a long windup—what, not enough rage points?"
"Impudent!" "Outrageous!"
The two men behind the young man immediately lunged at Chu Sheng.
But a violet electric arc flashed past, and Chu Sheng retreated several meters away with the young man in hand.
Yanking the young man upright, Chu Sheng held his blade and sneered.
"You dare act tough while robbing people? Looks like you little bastard really want to die."
"Ptooey—"
The young man spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and bared his teeth in a grin again.
"Hahaha, you're pretty brave."
"Then let me ask you—"
"Do you know who I am?"
Then he reached out and placed the Azure Edge Blade against his own neck.
"Come on, kill me. Don't chicken out. Do it!"
The young man became increasingly smug and raised his brows.
"Do you know who my father is?"
"If I get the chance, I'll send your mother down there. Ask her yourself!"
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author—it may simply have been renamed!
With that, Chu Sheng directly slit the young man's throat.
What era was this? He was still playing this threatening nonsense?
What use was it? Wouldn't he still die all the same?
Besides, I'm not even listening. So tell me, are you mad?
"Ugh... ngh..."
The young man's eyes bulged wide, his face filled with disbelief. Before long, he completely breathed his last.
He had used this routine no fewer than ten times,
Yet he had never dreamed it would fail!
No, damn it, at least let me finish speaking!
Do you really know who my father is...
Beside them, the two guards had already been dumbstruck. By the time they came to their senses, Chu Sheng had tossed the young man's corpse aside.
"Y-you... you actually killed the young master!?"
"Not just him. Do you think you can get away?"
As his words fell, Chu Sheng raised his blade and pointed it at the two of them.
"Lord Thunder, aid me!"
The next second, lightning burst forth, and a terrifyingly violent aura descended.
The two men's expressions instantly changed drastically.
Boom—
With an explosive roar, terrifying bolts of lightning instantly ravaged the area.
With Chu Sheng at its center, the surroundings instantly transformed into a vast sea of lightning.
Lightning streaked in every direction as violet electricity slithered about.
The crackling sounded like the cries of countless birds.
Profound Meaning—Thunder Marsh
"As expected of a profound meaning. Even Qi Sea Realm cultivators likely couldn't emerge from this move unscathed..."
"It just consumes too much."
When cultivation arts and martial techniques were trained to perfection, there was a chance of comprehending a profound meaning.
The power of Thunder Marsh absolutely crushed a mid-grade Heaven-rank martial technique!
But in just this brief moment,
More than half of Chu Sheng's true qi had been consumed.
The lightning gradually dispersed, revealing a scorched black stretch of ground.
Three charred corpses lay stiffly there, giving off a pungent burnt stench.
Eliminated three vicious bandits attempting robbery Justice Points +1800
After searching them,
"Holy shit!"
Chu Sheng delightedly examined the ring in his palm. He had taken it from the young man's hand.
A Storage Ring!
Though it was only one cubic meter in size, it was enough to fill Chu Sheng with joy.
Good deeds were rewarded. The ancients truly did not deceive me.
Sure enough, people still had to do more good deeds and acts of justice.
On the way back, Chu Sheng encountered several groups of people heading toward the treasure.
"People die for wealth. It truly is an eternal principle..."
These people had not provoked him, nor had they done anything that violated justice.
Chu Sheng did not stop.
While traveling, he casually opened the system panel.
"Two thousand Justice Points. I can upgrade again..."
Ding 1500 Justice Points consumed Your Martial Dao cultivation has risen to the sixth level of the Meridian Opening Realm Because the Host has been too diligent, moving the heavens Joy has fallen from the sky! During the process of opening your meridians, you have unexpectedly awakened an S-rank Martial Dao Talent
Seeing the system notification, Chu Sheng frowned.
"This is getting a little too damn satisfying, isn't it?"
The next second.
Rumble—
Not only the Earth Abyss, but even the surface began to shake violently.
The sky suddenly split open into an immense black curtain,
Lead-gray clouds boiled,
And countless bolts of lightning darted and gathered.
Within the Earth Abyss, everyone traveling along the way froze.
Another damn phenomenon!?
And this was far more imposing than the last one!
On the surface, after a brief moment of stunned disbelief, the Abyss Quelling Department guards shouted,
"Holy fuck, run! Run!!!"
The next moment, a waterfall of lightning poured down—
Before you continue
