Dark Qi Bomb!

Good heavens, System Bro is going all out this time?

Directly tampering with a target's fate, with no restrictions on the caster's cultivation or strength?

This isn't just a cheat, it's practically the cheat!

No, calm down!

The fate altered by the Devilish Art: Command is only the target's fate for that day, and no matter how much it's tampered with, there are limits.

Words like "kill" or "die" definitely can't be added.

So, the limit of fate alteration is merely making a big shot extremely unlucky or lucky on a certain day, and that's it.

Plus, there's only one chance to alter fate. The actual practical use of this mission reward isn't as terrifying as it looks.

But regardless, this mission reward is like picking up free money, so Su Yuan naturally wouldn't be picky.

He happily closed the System panel and went with Chen Nuoyi to stand guard at the Feiyun Community's security booth.

Just as Su Yuan predicted yesterday, after intercepting another batch of deliverymen tonight, his Devilish Dao reputation finally reached one thousand!

[Task: Guarding a Territory (Completed)]

[Task Progress: Reputation (1000/1000)]

[Task Reward: Devilish Art Grade Improvement (Selectable) (Issued)]

The next second, a list of upgradable Devilish Arts appeared on the System interface before Su Yuan's eyes.

As expected, Devilish Art: Command and Devilish Art: Spirit Command were both on it, but besides these two, he had no other Devilish Arts.

Just as planned, he'd save this skill point opportunity for now.

Su Yuan closed the System panel. After finishing his shift at midnight, he used his studies as an excuse to tell Uncle Wang that he and Chen Nuoyi couldn't be security guards for the time being.

Uncle Wang expressed his understanding and promptly paid their wages.

Then, as usual, the two of them went to the rooftop of the residential community and began studying the combat Mind Method sent by Teacher Li.

After putting their heads together and studying the Mind Method for a long time, they had a rough understanding of its principles.

This Mind Method was called Fury Heart Attack, a wondrous technique that could convert one's own rage to amplify combat power.

Simply put, the angrier you are, the stronger you become!

Fortunately, there were no side effects like turning green or growing in size.

Furthermore, the amplification effect of this Mind Method had a limit, only able to increase the cultivator's combat power by about thirty percent at most, and only within the Qi Cultivation realm.

If a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator used this Mind Method, even if the technique was perfected and they were furious, it would only boost their combat power by about ten percent at most.

The key to cultivating this Mind Method lay in controlling one's emotions and how to orderly convert rage into energy that amplifies oneself.

It had to be said, this was a Mind Method that sounded simple but was actually quite difficult to learn.

Teacher Li passing this Mind Method to him showed how much she thought of his potential.

So, could Su Yuan learn this Mind Method in a short period?

The answer was...

"Nuoyi-a-meng, hurry and teach me how to practice this thing, I don't understand it at all!"

Su Yuan's face was full of anticipation, waiting for Chen Nuoyi to spoon-feed him.

Chen Nuoyi might be poor, but her knowledge and wisdom were indeed abundant, so...

Rich woman, hungry, feed me.

And the holy class valedictorian indeed did not disappoint Su Yuan.

After studying this Mind Method, which she saw for the first time, for only half an hour, she began to explain it earnestly to Su Yuan.

After a series of profound yet simple explanations, Su Yuan even vaguely grasped some of the methods for converting rage.

And just at this moment, a "ding-dong" sound suddenly rang in Su Yuan's mind.

[Devilish Art count +1]

[Upgradable Devilish Art list has been updated!]

Hearing the sudden System notification sound in his ear, Su Yuan was a bit bewildered.

What did that mean? My Devilish Art increased?

I don't recall completing any tasks related to Devilish Arts recently.

With a confused mindset, Su Yuan opened the System panel to take a look and was instantly speechless.

On the list of upgradable Devilish Arts, a Devilish Art called Fury Heart Attack had appeared!

Damn it, this counts as a Devilish Art too? System, you must have a screw loose!

But as if to respond to Su Yuan's words, another System notification sound rang in his ear.

[In the harsh environment surrounded by the Righteous Path, you have still managed to find a Devilish Art with immense potential for improvement. You are truly worthy of being a Demon Lord possessing talent, wisdom, and luck.]

[And this Devilish Art, which can manipulate a cultivator's negative emotions, is actually considered a righteous cultivation technique by the ignorant Righteous Path. You can only find the petty Righteous Path truly laughable.]

[But soon you keenly discovered that in the upcoming sect competition, you could openly use this Devilish Art, crush those Righteous Path Prodigies, and enhance the prestige of the Devilish Dao!]

Su Yuan: "..."

Excellent, it seems you're a mature System now, capable of strategizing ahead of your host.

I really thank you for that!

However, after some serious thought, Su Yuan actually found that while the System was slandering him, the plan it proposed was indeed feasible.

If I upgrade the Fury Heart Attack to be my trump card, wouldn't this sect competition be a sure win?

Since that's the case, it's fine to use up the rewards from this Devilish Art grade increase.

Might as well enjoy it sooner rather than later.

With that thought, Su Yuan unhesitatingly chose to upgrade the Fury Heart Attack.

System, show me your limits, give me some points!

The next second, the words "Fury Heart Attack" on the System panel were imbued with a dark glow, appearing incredibly ominous.

Immediately, a vast amount of knowledge flooded into Su Yuan's mind.

This knowledge was basically derived from the Fury Heart Attack, yet it surpassed its predecessor.

The biggest change was that this Devilish Art, which could originally only mobilize the user's own anger, could now expand its influence outwards!

Once this method was mastered, the anger and other similar negative emotions of living beings within a certain range of the cultivator could be transformed into sustenance for the cultivator's growth.

Su Yuan dubbed it—the Dark Qi Bomb!

And the upgraded version of the "Fury Heart Attack" had its amplification limit raised to about sixty percent of the cultivator's own strength!

Of course, this was still limited to the Qi Cultivation stage.

However, correspondingly, the cultivation difficulty of the upgraded "Fury Heart Attack" had also greatly increased.

Fortunately, as the founder of this method (shamelessly), Su Yuan already understood everything about this Mind Method.

As long as he practiced for just two or three days to allow his body and Dao heart to adapt to this Mind Method, he would be able to master it completely!

At this point, Su Yuan looked back at the original "Fury Heart Attack" and found it incredibly crude, with room for improvement everywhere.

So, from any perspective, this upgrade was indeed very worthwhile.

Su Yuan immediately engaged in a lively discussion with Chen Nuoyi.

Although he didn't tell her the specifics of the upgraded Mind Method, relying on his understanding of it, he was able to debate back and forth with Chen Nuoyi.

Later, he even took the initiative and began tutoring Chen Nuoyi.

While the two were passionately discussing the Dao, on the other side of Taihua City.

A luxurious flying boat, trailing a long stream of light, tore through the sky and finally slowly landed at the docking area on the roof of a luxurious hotel building.

The flying boat's door opened like a roc spreading its wings, and two figures, one large and one small, disembarked one after the other. Led by an attendant, they headed towards the hotel's interior.

"Dad, are you really going to condescend to teach at Taihua High School?"

Among the two figures, the smaller one was a White-haired Golden-eyed Loli with silver-white long hair, wearing a creamy white dress, and possessing delicate features like a porcelain doll, with a perfectly pure and cold demeanor.

The little loli appeared to be no older than ten years old and was currently looking up at the handsome man walking ahead, asking him.

Her pair of brilliant golden eyes held curiosity.

The man, who looked less than thirty years old, appeared mature and capable. He turned his head and smiled as he explained, "Taihua City is our hometown. Since I've achieved success, it's good to come back and teach for a few days to give back to my hometown."

"While I'm teaching students, you can also explore Taihua City properly. Don't just stay cooped up in the room."

The white-haired loli nodded gently and, after thinking for a moment, asked, "Then, can I go visit Taihua High School?"

The man hesitated, "I have to meet some old acquaintances these few days and won't be visiting Taihua High School immediately."

"Then I'll go alone."

Meeting the white-haired loli's serious and determined gaze, the handsome man helplessly said dotingly, "If you want to go see it, then go ahead, but remember to be safe."

"Mhm."

"I mean, be mindful of the safety of Taihua High School's students. Don't hurt them."
