Elite Grade Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber

Evolution?!

Techniques could evolve too?!

"Techniques devouring techniques... could actually produce an evolution effect!"

Light blazed in Su Zhan's eyes.

He had originally thought that once these Beginner Grade Techniques reached Perfection, they would basically have reached the end of the road, with nowhere further to advance... At that point, he could simply keep them and focus fully on developing new techniques.

But with technique evolution now appearing, the situation was completely different!

This meant that every technique could be improved and strengthened... They could all keep pace with Su Zhan's growth. They were no longer unable to advance, but possessed boundless potential for the future!

Blood Consumption: "What's wrong with Number Two?"

Sanyu: "Second Brother, are you okay? Why is your whole body starting to spark?"

Frenzy Blood: "His technique aura is gradually rising... It seems like his technique grade has increased!"

Sanyu: "What the heck? Devouring techniques can raise a technique's grade?"

Blood Consumption: "So that's how it is... Number Two can evolve. Does that mean we can too?"

Frenzy Blood: "That's right! If he can do it, then of course we can too! My limit is no longer Elite Grade, but Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, and perhaps even higher grades!"

All the techniques became excited at once.

Frenzy Blood's body even began trembling slightly despite himself... It was clear just how exhilarating this news was to him!

No technique wanted to stop after taking one more step forward.

As more and more high-grade techniques joined the group, these old-timers who had entered first would eventually be ruthlessly reduced to the very bottom because their strength could no longer advance, unable to serve Su Zhan any longer...

And as for the titles they used now—Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother... Later, others could casually kill you in seconds. Would you still have the nerve to call yourselves that?

But now, the situation had changed.

With technique evolution and the ability to raise their grades, they could rise from Beginner Grade to Elite Grade, then to Earth Grade, Heaven Grade... They could continue ascending alongside Su Zhan and serve him forever!

"Ding! Congratulations, evolution successful! Nine Fire Saber has successfully evolved into Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber. Grade: Elite Grade!"

Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber.

What an imposing name!

More importantly, it had risen from Beginner Grade to Elite Grade!

Its power would inevitably soar!

Su Zhan was delighted.

At that moment, Su Zhan felt a massive surge of new information suddenly flood into his mind.

It was all the techniques of the Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber!

"Worthy of Elite Grade. The levels, methods, speed, and techniques of each strike... They're all so much greater than the previous Beginner Grade!"

After fully absorbing the information in his mind, Su Zhan could not help but sigh in admiration.

The increase in power from Beginner Grade to Elite Grade was not actually that great.

The greatest increase lay instead in the level of technique, speed, and other aspects... Especially with such a clear comparison before him, the intricacy of the current Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber was several times greater than the previous Nine Fire Saber!

"That Advanced Martial Artist had only cultivated it to Primary Grade."

"But I have a powerful feeling... With my current strength, if I faced him, I would crush him absolutely!"

This was the absolute confidence brought by increased strength!

Suddenly, another system notification came.

"Ding! Since Nine Heavens Thunder Fire Saber has risen to Elite Grade, its original realm has fallen to Intermediate Grade. Its original Cultivation Multiplier has fallen to 104.31 times! The original [Technique Incarnation—Second Stage] remains unchanged!"

Reasonable.

Now that it had risen to Elite Grade, it was only natural for the technique realm and Cultivation Multiplier to drop accordingly.

Moreover, this decrease was remarkably considerate.

Its realm had remained at Intermediate Grade, saving him at least a month's time... No wonder he had the absolute confidence to instantly kill that Advanced Martial Artist.

The multiplier had fallen to just over a hundred, greatly reducing the cost of resources... After all, improving an Elite Grade Technique was no easy task.

Most importantly, the Second Stage remained unchanged, meaning that even at 100 times, it could still continue for three hours!

"The realm will fall, and the multiplier will decrease, but the functions that have been unlocked will never regress!"

"The system really knows its stuff!"

Su Zhan could not help giving the system a thumbs-up.

At this moment, the light around Nine Fire gradually receded.

Blood Consumption: "How was it, Number Two?"

Sanyu: "Second Brother, what does it feel like to have your grade raised?"

Frenzy Blood: "It actually succeeded..."

Nine Fire: "Mmm~ This feeling... It's too comfortable~ There's no way to describe it. You have to experience it yourself to understand!"

Su Zhan: "What about your increased strength? How much did you improve?"

Nine Fire: "Much stronger than before."

Sanyu: "Big Brother, I want to devour techniques too and raise my grade!"

Blood Consumption: "I want to as well."

Frenzy Blood: "Rising to Earth Grade wouldn't be bad either."

Su Zhan: "Sure, no problem! Once we get there, just tell me directly if you see any techniques you like. Devour them however you want!"

Given the Lin family's current regard for him.

They had even freely opened their Earth Grade Techniques for him to cultivate. Getting a few Elite Grade Techniques would be no more than a word from him, wouldn't it?

The technique incarnations continued their campaign.

Since Nine Fire had raised its grade, its strength had grown enormously, making the slaughter of C-class Fierce Beasts even easier... It could basically match the efficiency of two people by itself.

Meanwhile, Su Zhan leisurely made his way to the gates of the Lin family.

"Whoa, such a grand reception?"

From afar, Su Zhan saw many people standing outside the Lin family headquarters manor.

Lin Baitian, Lin Jinyu, his parents, and Fang Ling'er's family were all there.

The remaining group all looked difficult to provoke. They were middle-aged men, each far above Su Zhan's realm and comparable to Elder Feng... Half the Lin family had likely come to welcome him!

However, Su Zhan's gaze was mostly fixed on the middle-aged man standing at the front. The man possessed an imposing authority even without anger, and bore some resemblance to Lin Jinyu and Lin Baitian.

"So that's Martial Marshal level?"

"That immense, concealed blood vitality is enough to make even the techniques shiver!"

Su Zhan's eyes flickered.

The techniques possessed sharp senses and detected the enormous blood vitality concealed within Lin Fanlong's body.

Merely sensing it made them feel as though they had glimpsed some terrifying colossal monster, leaving them all stunned!

If Elder Feng's Advanced Martial General realm had only given them a slight sense of oppression.

Then Martial Marshal level was an absolute crushing force at the level of life itself!

The car stopped.

Someone came over to open the door.

Su Zhan calmly stepped out of the car. Faced with so many major figures—a host of Martial Masters, Martial Generals, and even a Martial Commander—his expression remained as calm as drifting clouds and a gentle breeze, without the slightest trace of panic.

This made the Lin family's upper echelons present give Su Zhan an excellent first impression!

Of course, part of that high score also came from confirming that Su Zhan had truly become a Primary Grade Martial Artist.

"Xiao Zhan."

"You don't mind if I call you that, do you?"

Lin Fanlong asked with a faint smile.

"Of course not, Uncle Lin." Su Zhan returned the smile. "It's just that this reception is a little too grand. I'm only a Primary Grade Martial Artist, after all. I'm not quite used to it."

"You deserve such a reception." Lin Fanlong spoke bluntly. "Take your time getting used to it. There is always a process."

To receive such words from a Martial Commander showed just how highly the Lin family regarded Su Zhan!

"Uncle Lin, I came here this time because I want to learn an Earth Grade Technique. Is that possible?" Su Zhan stated his purpose directly.

"I expected it."

Lin Fanlong directly took out a ring of keys. "Your progress in techniques has been so rapid that Beginner Grade and Elite Grade Techniques probably no longer catch your eye... Only Earth Grade Techniques are barely suitable."

"My Lin family does not have many Earth Grade Techniques in its collection, but we have accumulated some over the years. Choose whichever one you want to learn!"
