Chapter 27 Choosing a Weapon – Dagger!
“Oh!!!”
When Su Xiaobai heard the system notification, he couldn’t suppress his excitement. His face was filled with uncontrollable joy. If he hadn’t retained a bit of reason, he would’ve shouted towards the sky in exhilaration!
Simultaneously cultivating two techniques!
This new feature was practically tailor-made for him!
Su Xiaobai’s 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 Xiaobai’s 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!
“The thrill of cheating is unbeatable!”
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 shadow’s 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.
“Sixteen times the speed reduces the 100-day training time to just 50 days!”
“But that’s still not enough!”
“It has to be compressed further!”
The Qiankun Technique was destined to become Su Xiaobai’s 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!
“After spending 3.2 million, I have around 1.8 million left… Level 5 One-Click Practice is just within reach!”
Once I reach Level 5, a new feature would be unlocked!
“System, upgrade One-Click Practice to Level 5!”
Su Xiaobai gave the command without hesitation.
“Upgrade complete!”
With the system’s notification, 1.6 million was deducted from his card, and the marker in the top-right corner of the automatic cultivation space changed from “x8” to “x16!”
“Ding! One-Click Practice Space upgraded to Level 5, unlocking the new feature [Acceleration]!”
“[Acceleration]: Further doubles the current training speed!”
As soon as the system’s announcement ended, the “x16” marker instantly transformed into “x32!”
“Amazing~ Absolutely amazing!”
Spending the cost for one level upgrade but reaping the benefits of two!
This unexpected bonus thrilled Su Xiaobai from head to toe!
“32 times cultivation speed.”
“16 times training speed.”
“At this rate, my power will surge to levels even I wouldn’t dare believe!”
Su Xiaobai grinned ear to ear.
At this incredible speed, it wouldn’t be long before my strength can rival Martial Masters, Martial Generals, or even Martial Commanders!
And I wouldn’t 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?
…
The next day, Su Xiaobai didn’t idle around.
He decisively invested the remaining 200,000 spirit coins into strengthening himself.
Improving power wasn’t 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 artist’s strength by 50% or even double it!
Previously, Su Xiaobai hadn’t 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, wasn’t 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 hadn’t 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 wouldn’t 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.
…
He tested every weapon.
“Everything feels suitable—I can wield any of them!”
Thanks to his warrior-level strength, Su Xiaobai effortlessly handled every weapon, achieving excellent compatibility with each one.
But variety couldn’t 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.
“This is it!”
After nearly an hour, Su Xiaobai finally decided on his weapon—the dagger!
The inspiration came from Madman Drake.
Daggers could be thrown for ranged attacks or used for close combat.
While they didn’t 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 sleeve—completely undetectable.
Another flick, and it was gripped in his hand, ready to strike…
“Amidst the mortal world of killing, I’ll retreat with a blade unsullied; ten steps to kill a man, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.”
[*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.]
