Basic Qi and Blood Method: "So reaching 100x acceleration unlocks such an incredible new function!"
Jade Body: "It can actually go directly into the real world? Holy shit, that's insane! Once I reach 100x too, I want to create an avatar and see the world!"
Bloodthirsty Rampage: "It can actually manifest in human form... Incredible, truly incredible!"
The techniques gasped in amazement one after another.
All they had wanted was accelerated cultivation, rapidly increasing their strength, then sparring with each other when they had nothing to do, shooting the breeze, and preferably "interacting" whenever new group members joined... Who would have thought that after acceleration reached 100x, they could directly materialize in the real world!
Jade Body: "Third Brother, hurry up and try it! Go out and see the world!"
Basic Qi and Blood Method: "Tell us what it feels like when you come back. Once we reach 100x, we'll be able to go out too."
Nine Fire Saber: "No, I still can't get out."
Bloodthirsty Rampage: "If my guess is correct, you can't go out on your own. The boss has to send you out."
Nine Fire Saber: "Boss..."
Su Zhan: "Alright, I understand."
With a thought from Su Zhan.
"Avatar!"
A faint, human-shaped spectral outline abruptly appeared before Su Zhan.
It had no facial features, no hair—only a transparent humanoid outline like a shadow.
Very soon.
Flames rose in the humanoid outline's eyes. It was as though it had suddenly come alive, beginning to move.
"Bo... Boss, I'm alive... I really came alive!"
Nine Fire Saber looked at its own hands and body in disbelief.
Though it did not possess flesh, bones, and skin as real as Su Zhan's, it could now see and touch the real world... That alone left it incomparably satisfied!
"I can actually... see through its eyes!"
Su Zhan underwent a strange change as well.
He discovered that he could enter Nine Fire Saber's perspective at any time and see everything Nine Fire Saber saw!
Well, damn.
This was not merely a bodyguard, assassin, or hunter... It was also a mobile surveillance camera!
"How does it feel?" Su Zhan asked with a smile.
"Impossible to describe... Beyond words!"
The flames in Nine Fire's eyes flickered rapidly. It was obvious just how excited it was.
However, it still could not speak aloud.
All its expressions still had to be sent as text through the Cultivation Method Chat Group.
"Since you now have a real body, you should have a name of your own... From now on, your name will be—'Nine Fire'!" Su Zhan said.
Second Brother did not sound particularly pleasant, while Nine Fire felt much more intimate.
"Thank you, Boss, for granting me a name!" Nine Fire excitedly dropped to one knee and saluted Su Zhan.
"You even know all this cumbersome etiquette. That's a little beyond my expectations... Put everything else aside for now. Come, let's test your strength."
Su Zhan casually grabbed a refined iron longsword from the Cultivation Room and tossed it over.
"Yes, Boss!"
Nine Fire caught the longsword directly. The refined iron blade, weighing over a hundred kilograms, whistled through the air like a tiger in its hands.
"Come, use all your strength and attack that humanoid memory-metal stake!"
At Su Zhan's command.
Nine Fire did not hesitate in the slightest. It decisively used a move from Nine Fire Saber, drawing upon all its strength as it swung down with a thunderous slash!
Boom!
Flames exploded across the humanoid memory-metal stake.
The numbers began jumping wildly.
The answer was soon revealed: 658 kilograms!
"Just as expected!"
A sharp gleam flashed through Su Zhan's eyes. "It's equivalent to my base strength, plus the strength from using Nine Fire Saber!"
The bonus from Jade Body had been neatly excluded.
If nothing unexpected happened.
The other technique avatars would follow the same principle in the future: 100% of Su Zhan's base strength, plus that technique's strength bonus!
"Try a few more slashes!" Su Zhan ordered.
Nine Fire did as instructed.
After several slashes, its strength hovered around 650 kilograms, exactly as Su Zhan had predicted!
"Alright."
The moment Su Zhan spoke, Nine Fire stopped. "Nine Fire, can you be injured or killed?"
"According to the information I received, I can be injured, but I do not feel pain."
"Even if I die, it merely means disappearing ahead of time."
Nine Fire said, "Boss, if there's anything you need me to do, leave it to me without worry!"
"No pain, and no penalty for death."
"This was practically tailor-made for me!"
A glint flashed in Su Zhan's eyes. With a sweep of his hand over his Space Ring, he took out a set of clothes that concealed the entire body and a mask. "Nine Fire, put these on, then follow my instructions and head directly to the area outside the city where D-class Fierce Beasts appear!"
"Take a taxi, then travel at full speed. You should be able to get there within half an hour."
D-class Fierce Beasts were among the weakest of all fierce beasts, possessing strength only comparable to human Quasi-Martial Artists.
Yet even so, in a one-on-one fight, human Quasi-Martial Artists found it difficult to defeat D-class Fierce Beasts... Not to mention that D-class Fierce Beasts were numerous and usually appeared in groups of at least three. Thus, the authorities strongly recommended only hunting outside the city after reaching the Martial Artist realm.
That was precisely why Su Zhan had never dared to take the risk of leaving the city.
Now that he had technique avatars, and they feared neither death nor injury... He had to make the trip!
Of course, going was one thing.
The technique avatar's transparent body still had to be concealed. Otherwise, walking out like this would be far too horrifying.
"Yes, Boss! I will definitely complete the mission!"
Nine Fire was incomparably excited.
Su Zhan's words were its mission. Being able to do something for Su Zhan filled it with heartfelt pride.
The Cultivation Room door opened.
Nine Fire walked out, its entire body covered by a black robe and its face hidden behind a pitch-black mask.
Feeling the sunlight shine upon its body, it could not help raising its head to look at the sky and sighing. "This feeling... is too wonderful!"
After that, it did not hesitate any longer and headed straight outside the city under Su Zhan's guidance.
Su Zhan accessed Nine Fire's perspective.
Step by step, he guided it to hail a taxi and head out of the city.
At the same time, the techniques had completely used up all his pills, beast blood, Spirit Weapons, and other items!
"Getting outside the city will take some time. Let's first see how far my Cultivation Method Multipliers have risen!"
Su Zhan directly opened the Character Attribute Panel:
Host: Su Zhan Realm: Advanced Quasi-Martial Artist Beginner Grade Technique, Basic Qi and Blood Method (Advanced): 51.05x Beginner Grade Technique, Nine Fire Saber (Intermediate Grade): 119.45x Beginner Grade Technique, Jade Body (Advanced): 52.3x Elite Grade Technique, Bloodthirsty Rampage (No Level): 27.1x ...
Awesome~
Seeing the increase in those multipliers, Su Zhan could not help revealing a satisfied smile.
Basic Qi and Blood Method and Jade Body had directly doubled. Their original twenty-seven and twenty-nine days could now be reduced to under thirteen and fourteen days... They could be done within half a month!
Bloodthirsty Rampage had increased by more than threefold. It had originally had thirty-one days remaining, but now there were even fewer—less than nine days!
The most outrageous increase was Nine Fire Saber. It had previously ranked second from the bottom, nearly dead last, but this wave directly boosted it tenfold and pushed it past 100x on the spot!
"Nine Fire Saber has thirteen days left before reaching Advanced, right? With this tenfold acceleration, it only needs 1.3 days. In other words, by tomorrow, it will immediately reach Advanced!"
"At that point, I'll have three Beginner Grade Techniques, all of them at Advanced!"
