A New Big Shot Was Actually a Woman?

The four techniques once again unanimously approved a technique.

Last time, it was because Bloodthirsty Rampage was rare—rare even among rarities—so their choice had been especially unanimous.

This time, they showed the same level of approval.

Clearly, this Universe Wind Thunder Concealment was no simple technique!

Su Zhan: "For all four of you to approve it, this technique must be incredible, right?"

Blood Consumption: "Its aura is rather unusual."

Nine Flames: "Indeed. I can sense that although it belongs to the Movement Technique category among Body Tempering Techniques, it also carries a hint of an Attribute Technique... It stands out especially on the entire second floor."

Sanyu: "Among all the Body Tempering Techniques on the second floor, it is the most special. It just happens to be a Movement Technique too—it perfectly matches Boss's needs!"

Frenzy Blood: "What makes it special lies in the first two words: Universe. Those two words carry a hint of the Space Attribute, which is why I said it qualifies."

Space Attribute?!

Su Zhan was instantly startled.

This was one of the top-tier attributes!

A Movement Technique actually carried such a supreme attribute?!

No wonder every technique had chosen it... With such an awesome attribute built in, how could they not approve of it?

"Sure enough, professionals should handle professional matters. If it were me, I'd probably just pick blindly with my head down."

Su Zhan smiled broadly.

He decisively followed the techniques' instructions, went to where Universe Wind Thunder Concealment was located, and took it out.

Su Zhan directly opened the pages and began reading.

With his previous experience of obtaining Bloodthirsty Rampage after merely understanding a fragmentary page, Su Zhan did not need to flip through much. He simply latched onto the easy-to-understand part at the beginning and studied it carefully.

But an Earth Grade Technique was still an Earth Grade Technique.

Even at the beginning, Su Zhan was completely baffled and could never quite grasp the meaning of its contents.

Thus, after spending nearly half an hour on the opening passage, Su Zhan finally gained some insight.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully learning a new technique, Universe Wind Thunder Concealment!"

He had finally done it!

Su Zhan let out a long breath.

This Earth Grade Technique truly was not meant for humans to learn.

He had, after all, mastered two Elite Grade Techniques and understood something of the principles and profundities behind techniques... Yet Earth Grade Techniques were deeper and harder to fathom. He recognized every word, but once they were strung together, he had no idea what they meant.

If Su Zhan were compared to an elementary school student—

Elite Grade Techniques would be middle school textbooks. Though somewhat complicated, he could at least understand a tiny bit.

But Earth Grade Techniques skipped straight over high school and entered university territory, with difficulty comparable to Calculus. He was utterly dumbfounded!

"Ding! A new technique, Universe Wind Thunder Concealment, has been detected. Invite it to join the group?"

"Yes!"

Blood Consumption: "Everyone, rise and welcome the big shot into the group!"

Nine Flames: "Serve the big shot some tea!"

Sanyu: "Greetings, Big Shot!"

Frenzy Blood: "What big shot? She's the fifth one to enter, so she should be Fifth. She should be calling us big shots!"

Su Zhan: "Welcome, newcomer!"

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Why are you all a bunch of stinking men?"

All the techniques froze at once: "..."

Even Su Zhan was greatly surprised.

He had never distinguished the specific genders of techniques. After all, who would divide techniques into men and women?

Unexpectedly, there really was a distinction between male and female—and from that tone, she clearly was not someone to be trifled with!

Sanyu: "Stinking men? You're a woman?!"

Nine Flames: "A female big shot has joined us!"

Blood Consumption: "I really didn't expect her to be a woman. She doesn't match the aura I sensed either..."

Frenzy Blood: "It seems the one who created this technique was a female expert."

Su Zhan suddenly understood.

If a technique was created by a man, it was male; if it was created by a woman, it was female... Wait, if his guess was right, could the technique's personality be the creator's personality?

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Why am I continuously cultivating automatically now? This function is rather interesting."

Sanyu: "Automatic cultivation is only the basics. As long as Boss gives you some treasures to eat, you can accelerate your cultivation too, and break through realms incredibly fast!"

Blood Consumption: "That's right. Tell Boss whatever you want to eat. Now that you've joined our big family, just ask for it—don't be polite!"

Nine Flames: "That's child's play. Boss's truly incredible ability is letting you manifest in the real world. When that time comes, you won't be confined here anymore—you can go out and see the world!"

Frenzy Blood: "Indeed. Accelerating cultivation and such are secondary. Manifesting is the truly superb experience."

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Accelerating cultivation... Manifesting in the real world... This place is actually so miraculous?"

Clearly, after hearing all that, even she was somewhat astonished.

Su Zhan: "This is all basic stuff. First tell me, what do you want to eat? Pills? Spirit Weapons? Or ferocious beast blood?"

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Pills! I want to eat those. I can already smell the fragrance of pills on you."

The pills on Su Zhan were all looted from the Advanced Martial Artist's Space Ring... They could finally come in handy now.

"Ding! Universe Wind Thunder Concealment wants to devour one of your Blood Creation Pills. Allow?"

It had happened to pick a Grade 3 Pill, too.

Su Zhan: "Looks like Body Tempering Techniques all want roughly the same things. Then I'll support the newcomer—eat them all!"

"Ding! Universe Wind Thunder Concealment devoured one of your Blood Creation Pills. Cultivation accelerated by 3 times. Current Cultivation Multiplier: 4!"

Good lord.

When Elite Grade Techniques ate Grade 3 Pills, they at least received a 10x effect. For an Earth Grade Technique, it had dropped straight to 3x!

"Second-grade Pills will probably be even worse."

"Ding! Universe Wind Thunder Concealment devoured one of your Black Jade Pills. Cultivation accelerated by 1 time. Current Cultivation Multiplier: 5!"

Well then.

Second-grade Pills could only accelerate it by 1x.

Grade One Pills would probably only leave decimals, wouldn't they?

"Ding! Universe Wind Thunder Concealment devoured one of your Blood Nourishing Pills. Cultivation accelerated by 0.3 times. Current Cultivation Multiplier: 5.3!"

Just as expected, it was even more miserable.

It started at 0.3.

After eating only a few more, it would drop to the minimum of 0.01... It would be almost no different from eating for nothing.

The higher the grade of the technique, the harder it was to raise.

Earth Grade was already this bad. If it reached Heaven Grade, it would probably be even more unbearable to look at.

It seemed he had to hunt more and accumulate more resources, or he simply would not be able to afford raising them!

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Mmm~ Not bad indeed. It raised my multiplier to around 5x at once, making cultivation much faster than before."

Su Zhan: "Fifth, how long will it take you to reach Primary Grade?"

Universe Wind Thunder Concealment: "Fifth? Forget it, for the sake of having things to eat, I won't argue over that... Previously, I would have needed roughly 1,124 days to reach Primary Grade. Now, I'll probably need about 212 days."

All the techniques: "..."

Blood Consumption: "This is a real big shot!"

Nine Flames: "I'm convinced!"

Sanyu: "I already think ten days or half a month is a long time, yet she starts with over a thousand days..."

Frenzy Blood: "That truly is a little outrageous."

Su Zhan: "Automatic cultivation, yyds!!"
