I'm Just Joking, Don't Take It Seriously

As everyone knew, mastering the Six Powers required relentless day-and-night training, as well as talent!

And putting them into practical use could not be done without two or three years!

Yet Xia Zhiqing had completely shattered that conclusion!

He mastered them in one day and put them to use in three. What terrifying talent!

"Isn't the Six Powers something you should be able to learn after watching it once?"

Xia Zhiqing said indifferently. With the Sharingan, there was nothing he could not learn!

Anna only had one thing to say about that: full marks for that bragging!

"Let's go. The king of the Dongping Kingdom must be getting impatient by now!"

Xia Zhiqing flashed onto the deck, and Anna followed him up!

Dongping Kingdom Royal Palace!

"Why did you two come so late? If you delay my mission, just see how I deal with you!"

"If it weren't related to the succession to the throne, I never would have offered such a high price!"

"Here, this is your mission. Once you understand it, get moving!"

The king of the Dongping Kingdom was exceedingly rude to Xia Zhiqing and Anna!

"At this price, we are absolutely the best value for money. If you're dissatisfied, feel free to hire another team!"

After taking the mission sheet, Xia Zhiqing smiled faintly, though his tone was extremely impolite!

"Insolence! Who do you think you are—"

"Do you think I'd get an even bigger reward if I killed you right now?"

"I heard Your Majesty's head is worth quite a lot!"

Xia Zhiqing suddenly appeared behind the king and said!

"Y-you... don't... act rashly... I was just... joking..." The king immediately lost his nerve!

"Hehehe, I was just joking too. Your Majesty, don't worry. How could I possibly kill my own employer?"

Xia Zhiqing suddenly vanished from behind the king again, then said with a smile!

Then the two of them left!

"That bastard..."

Watching Xia Zhiqing leave, the king said with an incomparably gloomy expression!

As the ruler of a kingdom, he had actually been toyed with like this! Where had that left his royal dignity!

"Saving the kingdom's prince? This mission is rather interesting!"

Xia Zhiqing looked at the mission in his hand and could not help smiling faintly!

"I've saved up quite a few Evolution Points these past few days. It's time to use them!"

Five days had passed since the previous mission!

Including the Evolution Points from killing people, he now had 1,058 Evolution Points!

He exchanged 1,000 Evolution Points for ten Martial Power points and added them to his Martial Power!

He added the remaining fifty-eight points to his Sharingan!

Ding! Your Martial Power has reached 172!

Ding! Due to the increase in Martial Power, your strength, speed, reaction speed, and defense have increased!

"Learning the Six Powers gave me two Martial Power points? Not bad!"

Looking at his Martial Power, which should have been 170 but was actually 172, Xia Zhiqing nodded in understanding!

The same thing had happened when he first learned Chidori ninjutsu, Haki, and genjutsu!
