Attribute Stone

"Knock, knock..." The sound of knocking rang out.

A man in a suit walked in. "Boss, over a dozen shareholders of the Kaohsiung Alliance have launched a fierce attack on Lin's Technology. If the young master doesn't marry Gao Damei within three days, the entire Lin's Group will vanish from Earth." The man finished speaking and lowered his head. There was one thing he hadn't said: Kaohsiung had already put out word that if they refused, the Lin Family would also disappear from Earth.

Lin Yang let out a breath and said softly, "Go reply to Kaohsiung. My son and Gao Damei will marry. Ask them to prepare in advance."

"My poor son!" Lin Tingbai's mother wailed. Her son was a dragon among men, a phoenix among mortals, and now he had to marry that fat woman Gao Damei. Heaven truly had no eyes!

Lin Yang glanced at Lin Tingbai and said in a low voice, "Son, life's misfortunes are nine out of ten. Just think of this as a sacrifice for the rise of our Lin Family!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Tingbai heard his father's words, and a single tear of anguish rolled from the corner of his eye.

In the end, his own happiness was used as a stepping stone by his ambitious father.

Goodbye, my beloved goddess, Xia Weiwei!!

Lin Tingbai closed his eyes in pain, feeling that his life had plunged into darkness.

Eleventh High School, laboratory.

Wang Hao's hands moved in a blur of shadows. As he dripped a single drop of potion into a red test tube, the crimson liquid inside instantly transformed, and a faint golden light illuminated the lab.

"So this is the Enhancement Potion. No difficulty at all." Wang Hao shrugged, tilted his head back, and drank the Enhancement Potion. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and began circulating the Wu Yao Heavenly Demon Art.

"Boom!"

Night fell. Wang Hao's body shuddered as a terrifying stream of air burst from within, blasting everything around him away.

Wang Hao opened his eyes. A flash of golden light flickered past, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

"Martial Disciple Level Seven." Wang Hao clenched his fists, feeling strength surging through his entire body. His foundation remained extremely solid.

If anyone else had broken through three minor levels in just a few days, they would definitely experience unstable foundations or an inability to fully unleash their power.

But he had used a Level One Potential Pill. As long as he adapted to the power his body brought, breaking through was as easy as drinking water.

Of course, as for adapting to this power, Wang Hao figured he could handle it all within a day at most.

"System, I want to strengthen myself a bit more. Any good recommendations?" Wang Hao asked.

"Host currently has 41,400 Villain Points. Based on the host's own needs, the system recommends using four types of Attribute Stones: Strength Stone, Speed Stone, Spirit Stone, and Stamina Stone."

"Attribute Stones?" Wang Hao was taken aback. The descriptions of the four Attribute Stones appeared before him.

Level One Strength Stone: For use by Martial Disciple cultivators. Enhances base strength after use. Maximum of ten stones usable. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Speed Stone: For use by Martial Disciple cultivators. Increases speed after use. Maximum of ten stones usable. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Spirit Stone: For use by Martial Disciple cultivators. Strengthens mental power after use. Maximum of ten stones usable. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Stamina Stone: For use by Martial Disciple cultivators. Enhances endurance after use. Maximum of ten stones usable. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

"Doesn't this feel a bit like adding points in a game?" Wang Hao's mouth twitched. Was he being gamified by the system or something?

"Whatever! As long as I can get stronger, bring it on!" Looking at the four Attribute Stones, Wang Hao exchanged for ten of each, spending a total of 40,000 points.

When Wang Hao picked up the golden Strength Stone and mentally commanded its use, a warm current flowed through his entire body, suddenly increasing his strength by a notch.

"Good stuff!" Wang Hao's eyes lit up. He quickly used the remaining thirty-nine Attribute Stones all at once.

"I feel like my strength has multiplied several times over."

Wang Hao jumped twice and found his whole body incredibly light. Especially after using the Level One Spirit Stones, he felt much more adept at controlling his body, and his mind was clear and refreshed, utterly at ease.

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly, Wang Hao pivoted on his foot. A silver light slashed past his eyes.

An assassin!!

In an instant, Wang Hao identified the other party's identity. If he hadn't just used ten Level One Spirit Stones, he might not have even sensed the assassin's presence.

The assassin's pupils sharply contracted. He couldn't believe that Wang Hao, a high school student who hadn't even left campus, had dodged a professional assassin's strike.

Without any hesitation, the assassin turned and vanished from his spot. A single missed strike meant he had to retreat; otherwise, alerting the teachers at Eleventh High School would make escape impossible.

"Come to kill me, and you think you can run?" Wang Hao snorted coldly. Stepping into the Lightning Step, he chased directly after him.

But his terrifying speed left the assassin dumbfounded again. The intel said Wang Hao had a Peak of Perfection footwork technique that could dodge all kinds of attacks—it never said his speed would be this fast!?

As Wang Hao and the assassin chased each other, on a tall building in Eleventh High School, Su Mu and Principal Zhong Li silently watched the scene, but their hearts were already in turmoil.

Since when did Wang Hao have this kind of speed?

And hadn't he only broken through to Martial Disciple Level Six this morning? So why had he reached Martial Disciple Level Seven by nightfall?

Moreover, looking at Wang Hao's solid stance, there was no sign of an unstable foundation at all.

"This little guy seems to have his own lucky encounters too!" Su Mu stroked his beard and smiled.

The Interstellar Federation had countless people, and with its long history, geniuses were as numerous as fish crossing a river. Over the long river of time, many inheritances had been left behind.

Now, with Wang Hao breaking through so quickly while maintaining such a solid foundation, it seemed the inheritance he'd obtained was truly extraordinary!

"Senior Su, should we ask Wang Hao whose inheritance he received?" Principal Zhong Li asked respectfully.

"No need!" Su Mu shook his head. "No matter whose inheritance this child has obtained, that is his private matter. As long as he doesn't speak of it, this old man will never ask."

Principal Zhong Li's face was full of admiration. "Senior Su's moral character is so lofty, truly a model for us all."

Su Mu stroked his beard and laughed. In his eyes, no matter whose inheritance Wang Hao had obtained, he would ultimately inherit everything from him. The two combined would only make him stronger.

So he had no reason to investigate these matters—it was a pure waste of time.

"Then, Senior Su, should we go down and help Wang Hao?" Principal Zhong Li asked.

Now that the Assassin's cultivation had reached Martial Disciple Level Nine, two levels higher than Wang Hao, if Wang Hao kept chasing like this, he would surely suffer a loss.

"No need. Now we need to take a good look at this little fellow's true combat strength." Su Mu narrowed his eyes, staring at Wang Hao from afar. He wanted to see whether this kid could still defeat his opponent in a life-or-death battle.

At the same time, he was also thinking: he had cultivated a commoner legend, Wang Tianyi.

If he could once again turn the Royal Academy's discarded piece, Wang Hao, into a legend...

Then that feeling—just thinking about it was damn satisfying!
