Li Wei's room.
Sitting opposite him was Shangguan Ren's slave.
The reason Li Wei didn't kill the other person was simply because he wanted to find out some things. This person had been with Shangguan Ren for at least two days, and might have heard some things that he didn't know.
"Now, I'll ask, you answer, or you know the consequences!"
Sitting in the chair, Li Wei was surprised to find that he was actually a little worried about that 'An Hei'. Although they had never met, Li Wei knew that he and the other person were the same kind of people.
But for now, let's focus on the task at hand.
"Just ask, I'll tell you everything I know!" The somewhat uneasy slave didn't even dare to look at Li Wei.
His name is Ye Qiang. He is just an insignificant person in the real world, in his thirties, homeless and jobless, with a job as a salesman. However, as a 30-year-old man, spending his days selling televisions in a large shopping mall makes Ye Qiang feel extremely unbalanced.
Why can others drive Mercedes and keep mistresses, while I have to endure the radiation from that huge TV and live on a meager salary?
On what grounds?
Although his mind was somewhat twisted, he had his own way of relieving stress, which was playing games.
In the game, whoever has the highest level and the best equipment is the boss. Ye Qiang found a sense of balance in this virtual world, and it was at that time that he received a package.
Thus, Ye Qiang became Reincarnator No. 110431. Upon entering this world, he encountered a massacre.
Indeed, if he hadn't had the quick thinking to kneel down and beg for mercy, he would probably have died at the hands of that sissy. However, the price of surviving was becoming a slave, worse than a dog.
What kind of world is this? In just two days, he learned the truth from his so-called master.
This is the world of Shadow Street, where you can become a powerful being by completing missions. But there's only one prerequisite: you must survive.
Even if you have to be a dog, you have to survive.
Now that the effeminate man has been killed by the powerful reincarnator before him, Ye Qiang understands that perhaps this is an opportunity for him, an opportunity to become a strong person.
It was late at night, and Li Wei was the only one in the room, processing the information Ye Qiang had provided.
This time, he finally got the answer that had been troubling him for a long time. Unexpectedly, it was the Shangguan Ren who came up with the conclusion.
That's the secret of Shadow Street's skills.
Almost all reincarnators know that the higher the skill level, the stronger its power. However, only a small number of them know that skills exceeding or reaching level B require diligent and practical training.
These are all established rules, and no one has ever questioned them, not even Li Wei.
However, Ye Qiang offered a different theory, which Shangguan Ren had uttered in his excitement: skill level is not necessarily the higher the level, the stronger the skill.
An E-rank skill is considered ordinary; no one would think it could be stronger than a C-rank skill. But in reality, Li Wei's Eye of Perception is ridiculously powerful. Why?
Now, there is an explanation.
Skills are divided into different levels, just like the seven levels of Innate Skill arts. Skill rating only assesses the power of the first level.
The first level of the Innate Skill is rated C, so the Innate Skill is a C-level skill. What is the rating of the seventh level of the Innate Skill? Although it is unknown, it will definitely exceed C level.
Similarly, the initial rating of the Eye of Perception was E. However, it is a skill that grows rapidly. As Li Wei used it continuously, the skill made breakthroughs. Now, Li Wei naturally doesn't know what the rating is, but it is definitely no worse than the Innate Skill.
The same applies to other skills.
Li Wei flipped his hand and took out the 'Sunflower Manual'. According to Ye Qiang, Shangguan Ren had only completed the first level of this manual.
First floor?
His internal strength was even stronger than his own, who had reached the fifth level of the Innate Skill. What did that mean? If he hadn't possessed the 'True Qi-Controlling Formula,' Li Wei's sneak attack might not have worked at all.
Looking back now, I was really lucky to have managed to kill him in one fell swoop.
The Sunflower Manual, a B-grade martial art, has an origin that is impossible to trace. People in the martial arts world only know that it is a supreme martial arts treasure, and whoever obtains it will be the number one martial artist in the world.
Note: 'To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself!'
Li Wei was covered in cold sweat. Even if he really became the best in the world, what was the point of living as a man?
Anyway, I didn't have the courage to practice it. Now it seems that Shangguan Ren is really no ordinary person.
The second piece of information I received from Ye Qiang was about the 'Marrow-Cleansing Pill'.
Li Wei also possessed the Marrow-Cleansing Pill.
Li Wei hadn't had a chance to examine the reward items for defeating Reincarnator No. 121 closely until now, but he had the time.
The room was immediately filled with a unique fragrance after the pills were taken out.
The 'Marrow-Cleansing Pill' is a Daoist elixir that can cleanse the marrow and refine the body to a certain extent, achieving better cultivation results. It is a highly sought-after elixir in the martial arts world!
Li Wei glanced at it and chuckled. This Marrow-Cleansing Pill was indeed good, but it was still far inferior to the 'Soul Essence Divine Pill' that the Taoist He had given him.
The 'Soul Essence Divine Pill' is used to strengthen the soul and thus change one's physique. Do not use it unless you encounter a bottleneck!
These were the original words left by the Daoist, so Li Wei kept the elixir and never took it.
As for the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, Li Wei circulated his qi to bring his body to its optimal state and swallowed it directly.
A warm current suddenly spread from his abdomen, like a continuous stream of hot water, flowing into every blood vessel in his body. Li Wei didn't know what it felt like to take drugs, but at this moment, the pleasure he felt was definitely stronger than the stimulation brought by drugs.
Li Wei took a deep breath and circulated his Innate Skill. He wanted to use this pill to break through to the sixth level in one fell swoop, and ideally, he could cultivate the Innate Skill to its highest level.
The true qi circulated through the meridians gradually modified by the elixir. At this moment, the true qi turned into a stimulating 'sulfuric acid', and Li Wei felt pain.
The extreme pain sent him from heaven to hell in an instant, without any transition. Immediately, sweat beaded on Li Wei's forehead.
However, he also knew that this was the most crucial moment and he absolutely could not give up, otherwise he might lose his strength and die. While enduring it, Li Wei smiled bitterly.
Is this what they call going into a state of demonic possession during martial arts practice?
So, for the next two hours, Li Wei endured the extreme Pain and suffering. He realized that he had been too hasty this time. If he had waited half an hour after taking the medicine before circulating his qi, the effect would have been the best.
However, it's too late to say anything at this point.
First, a layer of sweat appeared on his skin, followed by some dark, greasy substance. After a while, once the grease had dried, another layer of dense sweat appeared. This time, however, the sweat was crystal clear, like glass, and under the candlelight, Li Wei seemed to be wearing a colorful coat.
At this moment, his originally rapid heartbeat gradually subsided, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even feel him breathing. He just sat on the bed, motionless.
At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight shone through the window onto Li Wei's face, he opened his eyes.
He took a deep breath, which lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and then exhaled through his nose. The breath formed a white column that shot out five feet away before gradually dissipating.
After taking a deep breath, Li Wei stretched his body and then noticed the disgusting 'outer skin' on his skin.
Shaking his head, Li Wei got up to fetch water to wash up. After washing his entire body and changing into new clothes, he began to reflect on the results of his cultivation the previous night.
That Marrow-Cleansing Pill is definitely not an ordinary item.
The so-called "cleansing of essence and marrow" seems to be no empty name. This feeling is indeed like being reborn. The meridians, blood vessels, and skin membranes are as if they have been replaced, full of resilience and vitality. Most importantly, when Li Wei circulates his qi at this moment, the exhilaration and smoothness are incomparable to before.
These are changes in his body. Last night, because Li Wei was in a hurry to cultivate the Innate Skill, his 'newborn' meridians were corroded by the true qi. Therefore, Li Wei had to constantly mobilize and rotate the true qi, trying to make it contact the meridians. As a result, Li Wei's true qi became more concentrated.
In short, his Innate Skill has improved.
As for how much his strength had increased, Li Wei had no idea. Right now, he was full of energy, and the wind pressure he could generate with a flick of his finger was comparable to that of a bullet at close range.
Li Wei was stunned when he summoned the Yellow Paper.
Innate Skill, Eighth Level!
Eighth floor?
What does this mean?
Li Wei was stunned for a moment. Wasn't it said that the Innate Skill only had seven levels? Generally, once a martial art or skill is cultivated to its highest level, it will stop there. Many skills that Li Wei knew were like this, so how could the current situation be explained?
Pushing his power to the limit, Li Wei grabbed the iron sword he used for practicing martial arts by the window, turned around, and thrust it into the air. However, the sword broke into pieces with a crackling sound as it was still in motion, unable to withstand the powerful true energy.
The old Li Wei couldn't have done this.
It seems that his true energy has indeed improved, and Li Wei's attributes on the Yellow Paper are also frighteningly high.
Number 108, Reincarnator, Strength 57, Agility 42, Spirit 36, Stamina 51 (Skills Restricted), Combat Power Rating B1.
... At noon, Li Wei sat upright in a tavern in the east of the city. This was the place where he had arranged to meet Gu Yuexuan three days ago. It was said that the Jimo Old Wine) here was quite famous in Luoyang City.
Although it was noon, the tavern was surprisingly empty. The owner was a charming and capable woman in her thirties. Perhaps because she noticed the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple's attire on Li Wei, she was very friendly.
However, she could tell that Li Wei was waiting for someone, so after serving a table full of drinks, she smiled and left the counter.
Li Wei poured himself a glass. There was still a while before the agreed time, so Li Wei took the opportunity to think about some questions that were puzzling him.
It's been five days in the mission space. I've completed 3 mandatory missions and 1 random mission, earning 17,000 points, Slave Brand, Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and other items.
They also killed a reincarnator.
None of these are part of the main mission. So, what exactly is the main mission?
Are there other reincarnators in this world?
What is the purpose of that Slave Brand? The Yellow Paper wouldn't set up reward items for no reason, because the rewards in the quest would be related to the quests that follow.
Slave Brand, Marrow-Cleansing Pill!
These two are the reward items given by the mission. Li Wei has used both of them. One is that it allows a reincarnator to recruit subordinates who are also reincarnators, and these subordinates will be absolutely loyal. The other is a pill that can change one's physique and increase one's combat power.
These two items definitely didn't appear on the rewards list out of nowhere.
That's what Li Wei thinks.
The existence of something implies its reason; these rewards must be related to the tasks to come. However, at this moment, the final task is shrouded in a layer of darkness, making it impossible to see its true nature.
Perhaps the answer will be revealed soon, or perhaps it will take a long time... Li Wei finished thinking and looked up, because the person he was waiting for had arrived.
