Chapter 71: A ‘Generous Gift’ for the Lin Family!

“Ten Absolute Heaven Gang Body, like the Diamond Body, is a body-strengthening technique. However, unlike the Diamond Body, it can form a layer of protective Qi around the body to ward off attacks! As long as the Qi remains unbroken, the body won’t even sustain attacks, elevating its defense to a whole new level!”

“Heavenly Mechanism Step—just from the name, you can tell it’s an agility-enhancing technique. With this, combined with spatial attribute amplification, how fast could I possibly get?”

“Unified Law Codex… This is a strength-based technique! It focuses all power into a single explosive point, greatly beneficial when facing a single enemy with any weapon!”

“As for the weapon technique Chasing Sun Blade, there’s no rush to cultivate it. For now, I use daggers. Switching to this later, after the other techniques are mastered, won’t be too late!”

“Burning Heaven Flame—such a domineering name! This is a Lesser Transcendent fire attribute technique. Once mastered, it won’t just be as simple as releasing a flaming palm like with the True Flame Hand!”

Su Xiaobai quickly skimmed through the five Lesser Transcendent techniques.

Ten Absolute Heaven Gang Body, Heavenly Mechanism Step, Unified Law Codex, and Burning Heaven Flame were all incredibly useful.

Even the already-practiced Fourteen Immovable King Sutra was a technique that strengthened the body inside and out, significantly enhanced spiritual energy, and fortified bones and meridians!

Except for Chasing Sun Blade, every Lesser Transcendent technique had enormous potential to boost Su Xiaobai’s current strength!

Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai began quickly reading through these techniques.

After about half an hour: “System, deploy Unified Law Codex!”

The first choice Su Xiaobai made was to enhance his strength!

With the spatial attribute boost from Qiankun Technique, his speed was already sufficient, and further improvement wouldn’t yield much benefit. After all, if his strength didn’t keep up, he might end up repeating the mistake of the Madman Drake, who couldn’t break through defenses no matter how many attacks he launched.

Moreover, Su Xiaobai’s combat style had always been about explosive force—killing in the blink of an eye!

Enhancing his strength level, combined with speed, would render even a prepared opponent defenseless.

Power surpasses all skills.

Strength shatters all techniques.

If the strength explosion was formidable enough, not only would Su Xiaobai benefit, but his auto-combat shadow would also become stronger. This would indirectly speed up his collection of beast materials!

“All three auto-training slots are now full.”

“Just in time—I’ve just sold a batch of materials and looted another haul. Now I can upgrade the One-Click Practice!”

Su Xiaobai sold materials from the Beast Treasure Pavilion for nearly 200 million.

He looted 360 million from the Lin family’s martial artists, warriors, and generals.

Added to the 480 million spirit coins piled up in Lin Chen’s spatial ring, and several tens of millions in his own savings, Su Xiaobai’s total assets had soared to an astonishing

1.1 billion

!

“System, upgrade One-Click Practice!”

Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai chose to upgrade.

Given his current circumstances, the only thing that could help him was auto-training!

“Deducting 2.048 billion, the One-Click Practice space upgrades to level 11. Time acceleration increases from 1,024x to 2,048x!”

“Deducting 4.096 billion, the One-Click Practice space upgrades to level 12. Time acceleration increases from 2,048x to 4,096x!”

In a flash, six billion were gone.

Su Xiaobai finally grasped what it felt like to burn through billions.

“With time acceleration at 4,096x, the Qiankun Technique will only take two days to complete!”

“The Immovable King Sutra and Unified Law Codex will only need about 23–25 days to finish!”

Su Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed.

Lesser Transcendent techniques taking less than a month to master—if the lady from the Beast Treasure Pavilion or the advanced martial general elder knew, they’d probably stare in disbelief!

They had considered the Lesser Transcendent techniques they gave to Su Xiaobai carefully.

As long as he didn’t publicly announce them, it didn’t matter if he possessed them. After all, not everyone could cultivate such techniques successfully. Most would either sell them at auctions or exchange them for other treasures.

But what they didn’t know was that Su Xiaobai had a cheat-level system. With auto-training compressing decades into days, even with average comprehension, he could train to the point of shocking them all!

“With 500 million left, I’ll save 100 million for emergencies and use the remaining 400 million to upgrade auto-hunting!”

Auto-Hunting had already reached level 6, with six shadow fighters being Su Xiaobai’s greatest asset.

“Deducting 2.916 billion, auto-hunting upgrades to level 7. One additional shadow fighter added!”

Now there are seven shadows!

Sevenfold the beast material yield!

With auto-collection by four treasure-hunting goblins feeding rare materials, paired with auto-alchemy for crafting pills, Su Xiaobai had established a self-sufficient chain of massive revenue!

“I still have 1 billion left… This will be reserved for further upgrades to reduce the auto-training cycles!”

“Deducting 1.024 billion, auto-practice upgrades to level 13. Time acceleration increases from 4,096x to 8,192x!”

8,192x speed!

That meant one day of Su Xiaobai’s auto-practice equaled 22 years for others!

“At this rate, it won’t take long for my strength and cross-realm combat power to skyrocket!”

A sharp glint flashed in Su Xiaobai’s eyes.

“Lin family, it’s time to prepare for the ‘generous gift’ I’ve got for you!”

…

The following evening, at a bar on Nanhai Street near Base 18.

A junior martial general of the Lin family was enjoying himself, with beauties in his arms, drinking heavily, eating heartily, and preparing to take one of the women to a private room for further entertainment.

Suddenly, a figure in a black cloak and white mask, holding a long sword, appeared in the bar.

The figure walked straight up to the Lin family’s junior martial general.

“You—”

The general’s pupils contracted as he immediately recognized the figure as the one their family was hunting. But before he could finish speaking, the long sword pierced his throat!

One strike to the throat.

The bar erupted into chaos, with screams and cries of terror filling the air.

The Lin family’s junior martial general died on the spot, his eyes wide with disbelief.
