Attribute Stones

Knock, knock...

A man in a suit walked in. "Boss, more than a dozen shareholders from the Kaohsiung Alliance have launched a frenzied attack on Lin's Technology. If the young master does not marry Gao Damei within three days, the entire Lin's Group will disappear from Earth."

After speaking, the man lowered his head. There was one more thing he had not said: Gao Xiong had already made it clear that if they refused, the Lin Family would also vanish from Earth.

Lin Yang let out a breath and said softly, "Go tell Gao Xiong that my son will marry Gao Damei. Tell them to make the preparations first."

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

Lin Yang glanced at Lin Tingbai and said quietly, "Son, nine times out of ten, life does not go as one wishes. Consider it a sacrifice for the rise of our Lin Family!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Lin Tingbai, lying in the hospital bed, shed a tear of sorrow from the corner of his eye.

In the end, his ambitious father had still turned his happiness into a stepping stone.

Farewell, my beloved goddess, Xia Weiwei!!

Lin Tingbai shut his eyes in agony, feeling as though his life had gone completely dark.

Eleventh High School, laboratory.

Wang Hao's hands moved in a blur. When he dripped a drop of liquid into a red test tube, the red potion inside instantly changed, and a faint golden glow lit up the laboratory.

"This is an Enhancement Potion? There wasn't any difficulty at all." Wang Hao shrugged, tipped his head back, and drank the Enhancement Potion. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor and began circulating the Wu Yao Heavenly Demon Art.

Boom!

Night fell. Wang Hao's body jolted, and a terrifying current of air burst from within him, sending everything around him flying.

Wang Hao opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light streaked through them, gleaming brilliantly.

"Martial Disciple Level Seven." Wang Hao clenched his fist, feeling strength fill every part of his body. His foundation remained extremely solid.

If someone else broke through three minor levels in succession within a few days, they would certainly suffer from an unstable foundation and be unable to fully wield their strength.

But he had taken a Level One Potential Pill. As long as he adapted to the strength his body had gained, breakthroughs would be as easy as drinking water.

Of course, Wang Hao figured he could fully adapt to that strength in a single day at most.

"System, I want to strengthen myself further. What do you recommend?" Wang Hao asked.

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

"Attribute Stones?" Wang Hao froze for a moment as descriptions of the four Attribute Stones appeared before him.

Level One Strength Stone: For Martial Apprentice cultivation. After use, it can increase basic strength. Maximum usage: ten stones. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Speed Stone: For Martial Apprentice cultivation. After use, it can increase speed. Maximum usage: ten stones. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Spirit Stone: For Martial Apprentice cultivation. After use, it can strengthen spiritual power. Maximum usage: ten stones. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

Level One Stamina Stone: For Martial Apprentice cultivation. After use, it can increase endurance. Maximum usage: ten stones. Exchange cost: 1,000 points.

"Why does this feel a little like assigning stat points in a game?" Wang Hao's mouth twitched. Was the system turning him into a game character?

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

When Wang Hao picked up the golden Strength Stone and silently chose to use it, a warm current flowed through his entire body, and his strength abruptly increased.

"Good stuff!" Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly used all thirty-nine remaining Attribute Stones.

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

Wang Hao jumped twice and found his body unbelievably light. Especially after using the ten Level One Spirit Stones, he found it much easier to control his body, while his mind felt exceptionally clear and relaxed.

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly, Wang Hao spun on his heel, and a streak of silver light flashed past his eyes.

An assassin!!

In an instant, Wang Hao determined the identity of the other party. If he had not used those ten Level One Spirit Stones just now, he might not have sensed the other party's presence at all.

The assassin's pupils contracted sharply. He simply could not believe that Wang Hao, a high school student who had not even left school yet, had actually evaded the assassination attempt of a professional assassin.

The assassin did not hesitate at all. He turned and vanished from where he stood. Since his strike had failed, he had to retreat. Otherwise, if he alerted the teachers of Eleventh High School, he would not be able to escape.

"You came to kill me, and you think you can run?" Wang Hao snorted coldly, stepping into Lightning Step and chasing after him.

That terrifying speed left the assassin dumbfounded once again. Hadn't the intelligence said that Wang Hao possessed movement techniques at the Peak of Perfection, allowing him to evade all kinds of attacks? It had not said he was this fast!

As Wang Hao pursued the assassin, Su Mu and Principal Zhong Li silently watched the scene from atop a tall building at Eleventh High School. Yet their hearts were already in turmoil.

When had Wang Hao gained such speed?

And hadn't he only broken through to Martial Disciple Level 6 this morning? Why had he already advanced to Martial Disciple Level Seven by nightfall?

Moreover, judging from Wang Hao's solid footing, there was not the slightest sign of an unstable foundation.

"It seems this little fellow has encountered some fortuitous opportunity of his own." Su Mu stroked his beard and smiled.

The Interstellar Federation had an enormous population and had existed for a sufficiently long time. Naturally, geniuses were as numerous as carp crossing a river, and countless inheritances had been left behind over the long river of time.

For Wang Hao to break through so quickly while keeping his foundation so solid, the inheritance he had obtained must be extraordinary.

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

"No." Su Mu shook his head. "No matter whose inheritance this child obtained, that is his private affair. As long as he does not speak of it, this old man will never ask."

Principal Zhong Li's face was full of admiration. "Senior Su's character is truly a model for our generation."

Su Mu stroked his beard and smiled. In his eyes, no matter whose inheritance Wang Hao had obtained, he would ultimately inherit everything Su Mu possessed. Combining the two would only make him stronger.

Thus, there was no reason to investigate such matters. It would be nothing but a waste of time.

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

This assassin had already reached Martial Disciple Level Nine, two levels above Wang Hao. If Wang Hao continued chasing him like this, he would definitely suffer a loss.

"No. What we need now is to properly observe this little fellow's true combat strength." Su Mu narrowed his eyes as he stared at Wang Hao from afar. He wanted to see whether this little fellow could still defeat his opponent in a life-or-death battle.

At the same time, he was thinking of Wang Tianyi, the commoner legend he had raised.

If he could also raise Wang Hao, the discarded child of the Royal Academy, into another legend...

Just thinking about that feeling was fucking exhilarating!
