Chapter 102: Xu Bai 2.0 Update

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After thinking about it, Xu Bai suddenly realized that according to this thought, he was born to be an opportunist.

Moreover, he was perfectly compatible with the thief sect.

Look.

The Daoist Sect walked according to the heavens, followed the will of the heavens, and explained the heavenly law. It sounded like everything in the world was predestined by the heavens.

However, the thief sect was different.

The thief sect was a deviant sect. They believed firmly that although their fate was predestined, everything depended on hard work. They felt that their lives were in their own hands and not the heavens!

He was as domineering as me.

Oh no.

The more he thought about it, the more tempted he became.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

An Ya drove the car into the 38th Precinct. After parking the car, she looked at Xu Bai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat with his head lowered and deep in thought. She thought that she had persuaded him.

An Ya turned off the engine and unbuckled her seatbelt.

He looked at Xu Bai.

“Anyway, heresy doesn’t suit you.”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at An Ya.

An Ya said, “Your foundation has recovered and your Vitality is strong. Be it walking the path of cultivation or walking the immortal cultivation path, whichever path you choose is better than cultivating the unorthodox path.”

Xu Bai smiled and thanked him. Then, he unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed open the passenger door.

But…

After Xu Bai got out of the car, he turned around and looked at An Ya. He smiled and said, “Thank you for telling me this, Team Leader An. However, I don’t like to be taught how to do things.” These were two separate matters.

What An Ya said was very helpful to him.

Xu Bai admitted this. Therefore, although his relationship with the cold-faced tiger was not very good, his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

As for the rest, there was no need.

He had never liked to accept other people’s opinions.

An Ya narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu Bai. Her tone was as cold as ever.

“This is just my suggestion. As for what to do, it’s your own business.” It seemed that he could not wait any longer.

Once the orthodoxy was confirmed, it would be very difficult to change it.

After An Ya got out of the car, she looked at Xu Bai who had already walked into the office building and thought to herself.

Xu Bai spent the entire afternoon in the office. Ignoring Chen Shan’s resentful expression, he wrote down the closing reports of the recent cases with his disciple.

Yes.

Closure report.

The murder case of Sun Qinya was also handled by Xu Bai. Due to a suspected internal disagreement within the Night Rose nightclub, he chose to temporarily close the case. If there were new clues in the future, he would restart the investigation according to the situation.

This kind of operation was common.

Many cases were easy to solve, but there were also a small number of cases that could not be investigated for various reasons. The Night Rose nightclub case belonged to this small number.

Soon.

When it was time to get off work at night, Xu Bai turned off his computer and said goodbye to Su Meng before driving back to his house on Old Factory

Street.

At 9.00 pm.

After Xu Bai washed up and changed into his pajamas, he poured himself a glass of wine from the wine cabinet and sat on the sofa.

The next second.

Light flashed on the coffee table, and three skill books that looked like ancient books lay quietly on it.

These three books were skill books that Xu Bai had obtained during this period of time either by killing enemy NPCs or by completing missions.

Previously, Xu Bai had leveled up, looked for the Dragon Heart Herb, refining pills/pill refinement, and had to go to work to solve cases. He had no time to think about this matter.

Now that everything was almost settled, it was time to improve his soft power.

The first thing he saw was…

[Cultivation Technique: Vajra Art]

[Cultivation Technique Attribute: Cultivation] [Cultivation Technique Quality: Blue (Upgradeable)]

[Cultivation Requirement: 30]

[Cultivation Level: 10]

[Cultivation Technique Effect: Increase character’s cultivation by 5 Experience points, increase character’s defense by 5% for every level up, increase character’s physique by 5% for every level up.]

[Maximum Effect: “Indestructible Diamond—A skill derived from a cultivation technique. After using it, the character’s defense and physique will temporarily increase by 200% for ten breaths.”]

[Note: “A mediocre human martial artist cultivation technique.”]

[Learn/Refuse]

[Skill Name: Thousand Flower Hands] [Skill Quality: White (Upgradeable)]

[Skill Attribute: Active]

[Cultivation Level: 10]

[Skill Introduction: “Colorful Falling Blossoms, Thousand-Handed Guanyin.

[Note: “Trash (not recommended for learning)”]

[Learn/Refuse]

[Skill Name: Ten Tyrannical Palm] [Skill Quality: Blue (Upgradeable)]

[Skill Attribute: Active]

[Cultivation Level: 10]

[Skill Introduction: “Breaking Gold and Bones, Cutting Iron Like Sharp Edge.”]

[Note: “Throw it into the mall. The price will be 10 Game Currency (You can learn it if you’re willful).”]

[Learn/Refuse]

Xu Bai looked at the system’s remarks from left to right, and his ridicule became sharper and sharper. He looked at the last remark on the skill book and was unmoved. “I’m willing to learn trashy skills. Why do you care?”

There were indeed a lot of cultivation techniques and skills in the mall. Just by looking at the names, he felt that they were very domineering.

But…

The price that he liked was too beautiful.

He was not interested in the low-priced ones.

Besides…

With that money, he could buy anything he wanted. Why would he buy skills? If his level was high, even trashy skills could unleash a destructive effect.

This was just like how in Wuxia games, the novice sword technique used by max-level players was the same as the novice sword technique used by novice players.

The skills were the same, but the power was worlds apart.

Learning.

Xu Bai grabbed the cultivation technique on his left. His heart skipped a beat.

He was already Level 30, and the level of the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique had been maxed out. He could change to another cultivation technique.

Learning successful!

Ding!

[Discovered a cultivation technique that can be fused. Nine Revolutions Body

Refining Technique, do you want to fuse?!]

“Fuse… Wait a minute.”

Xu Bai l s eyes lit up. Just as he was about to fuse them, he suddenly thought of something and quickly changed his words. He said, “Upgrade the quality of the Vajra Arts first and max it out.”

He had plenty of Skill Experience.

The drop rate of Game Currency in this system was very low, but the drop rate of Skill Experience was almost the same as Character Experience.

Naturally.

If it was something that could be solved with Skill Experience, why would he waste money and choose it in the mall?

Once again…

There are no trashy cultivation techniques and skills, only trashy players!

[Skill Experience: “150,000”] [Quality upgrade successful.]

Fusing!

Ding!

[The fusion is successful!]

As the Golden Body Mantra that was emitting golden light collided with the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique that was shining with golden light, after the golden light flickered, the two golden lights fused into one. From the looks of it, the golden light with an enhancement effect of more than three appeared in Xu Bail s vision.

The next second.

The golden light dispersed.

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at his cultivation method column.

The first thing he saw was…

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows inadvertently.

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Scripture]

[Cultivation Technique Quality: Gold]

[Cultivation Level: 10]

[Cultivation Technique Effect: Character gains Experience +50%, Level +1, Strength +5%, Level +1, Character Defense +15%, Level +1, Character Constitution +10%.]

[Cultivation Technique Special Effect: Golden Body State (Rank I)—A skill derived from the cultivation method. After using it, the character’s defense and physique will temporarily increase by 100% for 5 breaths.]

[Current Level: 1]

Xu Bai stared at his Dantian.

The Nine Revolutions True Vitality that was originally born after the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique was maxed out was slowly changing color with every breath.

In almost the blink of an eye, the Nine Revolutions True Vitality was also covered in a very weak golden light.

Xu Bai subconsciously activated it.

The next second.

There was a buzzing sound.

A golden light that was also invisible spread out from all parts of his body.

Xu Bai walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. At first glance, he was shocked.

In the mirror, even his face seemed to be covered in a thin layer of gold paint.

Xu Bai quickly retracted his hand.

With the end of the golden body state, an illusion of emptiness that had fallen from the realm of boundless strength and steel body was instantly transmitted to his brain.

This was also an illusionary reaction after his strength soared.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and adjusted his state of mind.

At the same time.

While he was adjusting his state, he conveniently slapped the Thousand Flower

Hands and Ten Tyrannical Hands into it.

Ding!

[Discovered that skills of the same attribute could be fused…]

Improve!

Fusion!

Skills were more important than quantity.

An hour later.

Xu Bai sat on the sofa and reached out his right hand toward the cactus on the television not far away. His five fingers formed a claw and instantly grabbed the cactus that had flown into his hand.

This move—Star Picking! [Skill Name: Heaven Covering Divine Palm]

[Skill Quality: “Gold”] [Skill Attribute: “Active!” ] [Skill Type: Attack]

[Skill Level: 10]

[Skill Effects: Star Picking (Increase Attack by 20%, Additional Absorption Effect), Cloud Moving (Increase Attack by 50%, Additional Dispersion Effect),

Sky Shrouding (Increase Attack by 100%, One Palm Breaks All Techniques)]

[Note: “This… Alright, I’ll treat it as a benefit for paywall players. You can collect more similar skill books and integrate them into them. (Shush, this skill, this level, it shouldn’t be…”)]

It was a brand new skill created by combining the Gold Quality Thousand Leaves Star Picking Hand and the Gold Quality Shifting Cloud Eighteen

Tyrannical Palms with the max-level Gold Quality Collapsing Mountain.

Heaven Covering Palm.

It was extraordinarily powerful.

Similarly…

The effect was surprisingly good!

This should be considered my own unique skill.

Xu Bai was very satisfied with this. It was as if he had completely changed his mind.

If he had to describe his current state, he could do it in one sentence.

After completely updating his cultivation method and skills, he could now defeat his other self, who had not updated his cultivation method and skills, at the same level.

It was a true beating!
