Chapter 27
Choosing a Weapon â Dagger!
âOh!!!â
When Su Xiaobai heard the system notification, he couldnât suppress his excitement. His face was filled with uncontrollable joy. If he hadnât retained a bit of reason, he wouldâve shouted towards the sky in exhilaration!
Simultaneously cultivating two techniques!
This new feature was practically tailor-made for him!
Su Xiaobaiâs most urgent need right now was to improve his strength⊠While the automatic cultivation was fast, the higher the level, the more time it required, and breakthroughs became slower and harder!
Apart from spending a fortune to upgrade the automatic cultivation space and increasing its flow speed, there was no other way to speed up the process.
But automatic skill training was different.
Successfully comprehending a single technique meant that Su Xiaobaiâs strength could leap forward significantly!
If he could comprehend multiple techniques, his strength would skyrocket beyond imagination!
However, due to the limitation of only being able to place one technique in One-Click Practice at a time, Su Xiaobai had to wait patiently.
But now, he could place two techniques simultaneously, meaning his strength was about to soar dramatically!
âThe thrill of cheating is unbeatable!â
Su Xiaobai was overwhelmed with excitement.
Without hesitation, he immediately placed
Soaring Sky Transformation
into the system.
The shadow that had been training
Qiankun Technique
split into an identical clone and began training
Soaring Sky Transformation.
Moreover, with the upgrade to Level 5 One-Click Practice, the cultivation speed had reached a shocking x16!
Sixteen days internally equaled just one day externally.
With the shadowâs high comprehension ability,
Soaring Sky Transformation
would undoubtedly reach the intermediate level in no time!
Of course, Su Xiaobai was most concerned about the progress of
Qiankun Technique.
âSixteen times the speed reduces the 100-day training time to just 50 days!â
âBut thatâs still not enough!â
âIt has to be compressed further!â
The
Qiankun Technique
was destined to become Su Xiaobaiâs greatest weapon and trump card!
While 50 days seemed short, who could predict what might happen in those 50 days? Su Xiaobai had to master his power as quickly as possible!
âAfter spending 3.2 million, I have around 1.8 million left⊠Level 5 One-Click Practice is just within reach!â
Once I reach Level 5, a new feature would be unlocked!
âSystem, upgrade One-Click Practice to Level 5!â
Su Xiaobai gave the command without hesitation.
âUpgrade complete!â
With the systemâs notification, 1.6 million was deducted from his card, and the marker in the top-right corner of the automatic cultivation space changed from âx8â to âx16!â
âDing! One-Click Practice Space upgraded to Level 5, unlocking the new feature [Acceleration]!â
â[Acceleration]: Further doubles the current training speed!â
As soon as the systemâs announcement ended, the âx16â marker instantly transformed into âx32!â
âAmazing~ Absolutely amazing!â
Spending the cost for one level upgrade but reaping the benefits of two!
This unexpected bonus thrilled Su Xiaobai from head to toe!
â32 times cultivation speed.â
â16 times training speed.â
âAt this rate, my power will surge to levels even I wouldnât dare believe!â
Su Xiaobai grinned ear to ear.
At this incredible speed, it wouldnât be long before my strength can rival Martial Masters, Martial Generals, or even Martial Commanders!
And I wouldnât need to endure decades of arduous cultivation, spend vast amounts of money, or risk my life in dangerous dungeons. I can effortlessly gain power that others can only dream of in a lifetime!
Can there be anything more satisfying?
âŠ
The next day, Su Xiaobai didnât idle around.
He decisively invested the remaining 200,000 spirit coins into strengthening himself.
Improving power wasnât just about cultivation and training; external tools also played a crucial role!
The most common tools were weapons.
A good weapon could amplify a martial artistâs strength by 50% or even double it!
Previously, Su Xiaobai hadnât chosen a weapon because he felt his strength was sufficient. At 17 years old, being able to crush martial artists was already more than enough, wasnât it?
However, after surviving the assassination attempt by Madman Drake, Su Xiaobai realized that his strength was far from enough!
Although Su Xiaobai had cultivated body-strengthening and attribute techniques, he hadnât yet delved into weapon techniques!
With a weapon, combined with weapon techniques, his strength would soar to entirely new levels!
At that point, not only advanced martial artists but even Martial Masters wouldnât be a threat!
Since Su Xiaobai had never attended martial artist courses or tested which weapon suited him, he decided to try them all.
Long swords, short swords, heavy swords, broadswords.
Long knives, short knives, daggers, sabers, giant blades.
Fire sticks, eight-trigram staffs, diamond rods.
âŠ
He tested every weapon.
âEverything feels suitableâI can wield any of them!â
Thanks to his warrior-level strength, Su Xiaobai effortlessly handled every weapon, achieving excellent compatibility with each one.
But variety couldnât match specialization.
Time was of the essence, so choosing the weapon most suited to him was critical. Once his power grew, he could always switch weapons with his auto-training cheat tool.
âThis is it!â
After nearly an hour, Su Xiaobai finally decided on his weaponâthe dagger!
The inspiration came from Madman Drake.
Daggers could be thrown for ranged attacks or used for close combat.
While they didnât boast overwhelming destructive power, they were unmatched in their lethality and efficiency!
Most importantly, daggers were easy to conceal!
A flick of the wrist, and it was hidden in the sleeveâcompletely undetectable.
Another flick, and it was gripped in his hand, ready to strikeâŠ
âAmidst the mortal world of killing, Iâll retreat with a blade unsullied; ten steps to kill a man, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.â
[*A famous line from Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, extolling the swiftness and precision of a skilled assassin, suggesting an idealistic, almost mythical approach to wielding a dagger.]
