Chapter 427: [344] Attribute Points Over 200! So What If I Kill You (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)_1
The Bronze Association lay silent like a ruin.
The sharp energy residue lingering above the ruins still made one’s skin crawl, steaming and drifting, taking a long time to dissipate.
The crowd waiting outside the guild hall had waited for a long while, and they could no longer hear any noise from the ruins. However, the drifting sharp energy inside the door would cut their skin with just a slight touch, which immediately dispelled everyone’s idea of going in to find out the truth.
But when everyone’s eyes met, they realized the shock and fear on their faces were as if carved from the same mold.
“I have a bad feeling… Teacher Chang, he…”
“Who is the person who came?”
“So strong…”
“But Teacher Chang just now, it looked like he was practicing some kind of evil technique…”
The few whispers in front of the door all carried a trace of fear.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ten minutes later.
The sharp energy finally began to weaken, and some people could no longer restrain themselves and rushed in anxiously.
The exquisite teahouse had completely turned into ruins, and around a dozen nearby houses were also in complete disrepair, covered with countless straight splits and patches of mottled bloodstains.
The pupils of the first few who rushed in constricted suddenly.
A young man among them asked, tremblingly, “Where is Teacher Chang?”
He wasn’t trembling out of fear.
It was because as they moved deeper into the core area of the battle, the sharp energy remaining in the air became more intense. If he hadn’t exerted all his strength to resist with his elements, he might already be bleeding profusely.
A burly young man with a golden glow all over his body looked around and, enduring the shock in his heart, said in a deep voice, “Go look for him.”
He didn’t see that mysterious swordsman with a mask, which was probably the only good news.
However, Teacher Chang’s trace was nowhere to be found…
It’s very likely that an accident happened.
If Teacher Chang really died…
He took a deep breath.
Looking at the ruins all around him.
He already knew… from today onwards, the Bronze Association would cease to exist!
“Right, wasn’t there another person? I saw someone fly out of the teahouse earlier,” the element user said in a low voice.
He searched for a long time but did not find Teacher Chang’s figure. Suddenly, he remembered the scene of the first explosion.
He just happened to come out from the back mountain at the time, so he could be said to be the first eyewitness on the scene.
But at that time, he didn’t dare to approach.
Then he was shocked by the scene of the battle that unfolded.
To be exact, from the first explosion to the end, the entire event didn’t even last more than two minutes.
In other words, this minute or so of shocking battle scenes could be said to have opened a door to a new world for these second-generation wealthy and noble individuals of Da Peng City.
These people were never going to find Teacher Chang’s body.
Three minutes later.
The nearby Night Patrol Department had already arrived.
By this time, the sword energy had almost completely dissipated.
Even though there wasn’t the most direct experience, the devastation of the ruins still put a lot of pressure on these fully armed Night Patrol Members.
“Call headquarters! Call headquarters!”
…
…
At Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.
Pei Jinye sat cross-legged, with all kinds of restorative delicacies placed in front of him.
This time, the assassination of Old Thief Chang was indeed a matter of seizing the perfect timing and location!
First, in the past two days, Old Thief Chang was being pursued by an enemy named Shentu, with the two of them clashing repeatedly, which triggered the flare-up of his chronic condition.
Second, while at the tea house, Pei Jinye used an avatar to distract the old man and secretly administered poison.
The fight, which lasted less than two minutes, featured each step meticulously calculated by Pei Jinye, and each move was a merciless killing strike.
It was also because he had devoured Chang Youlong’s memory that Pei Jinye had even more fortuitous luck.
He had not rashly approached the man in the throes of heated impulsivity.
Now, this old rogue’s martial arts cultivation had already reached the Dharma Body Realm; coupled with his extraordinary talent, his strength was far above the Third Rank.
In the initial battle against Military Department’s expert, Chu Tianye, this old fellow was indeed feigning weakness on purpose, aiming to reduce the official attention on him.
If it wasn’t for Pei Jinye playing it safe all along, he suspected that when his attributes had just broken a hundred, approaching him would have led to a dead end.
He swiped open the attribute panel.
…
[New Extraordinary-Human Genes: Dark·Heavy Armor]
[Adding Extraordinary Ability: Remodel (Reconfigure body structure for modifications and enhancements)]
[New skill: “Mixed Yuan Twelve Lotuses” (Beginner 20%);
“Supreme Immeasurable Demon Sutra” (Ancient Martial Remnant) (Beginner 10%);
“Hun Yuan Blood Vitality Decision” (Ancient Martial Upper Volume) (Beginner 10%)]
…
Teacher Chang provided even more proficiency than Gongsun Long, the Gongsun Ancestor!
Some basic skills Pei Jinye could not even be bothered with, yet the accumulated proficiency was enough to put together seven Breaking the Limit level skills.
However, what he was more concerned about was the “Supreme Immeasurable Demon Sutra”; this ancient martial art remnant is primarily about devouring the opponent’s vitality.
This Old Thief Chang was also unorthodox in his approach—he clearly had the talent for strengthening himself, yet he chose to take the crooked path, remaking himself with his extraordinary talent after assimilating others with the Demon Sutra.
“The old man made it sound so mystical back then; I thought he could directly take possession… He couldn’t even devour memories, what was he showing off for!”
Pei Jinye cast aside his miscellaneous thoughts and began to carefully organize Old Thief Chang’s memories.
On the surface, this little old man was the former head coach of the Night Patrol Department; in secret, he was the actual controller behind a research institute known as the Research Institute of Ten-Thousand-God Genes.
He was also the second-ranked [Sea of Blood God] on the black list.
The little old man’s memories were complex.
With a psychic power as high as 288 points, the amount of information it could store was indeed substantial.
However, Pei Jinye’s extraordinary spiritual network wasn’t just for show; he packed and stored all of Teacher Chang’s memories.
In Pei Jinye’s mind at this moment, the spiritual manifested a library-like Treasure Palace, where he had devoured all the memories, categorizing them by layers, each corresponding to a part of the same Extraordinary Body System.
This intelligent-brain-level spiritual network could completely manage these foreign memories in an orderly fashion.
“Although the little old man was a bit cunning, he really knew quite a bit about martial arts cultivation,”
Pei Jinye gained a great deal of experience through Teacher Chang’s memories.
For the time being, these experiences were still just data entries for him, and it would take time to truly transform them into his own.
But now, having dealt with this major threat, the following period could be devoted to peaceful cultivation.
…
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The murder of Teacher Chang of the Bronze Association caused a minor disturbance in Da Peng City.
As for why it didn’t attract widespread attention, it was ultimately because the Bronze Association had always been limited to a few small circles.
…
[66 Attribute Points +1]
As his fingertips touched the Attribute Light Group for today, a stream of information passed into Pei Jinye’s mind, which he calmly withdrew.
The attribute panel immediately updated the content.
…
[Vitality Value]: 221 card;
[Stamina]: 220;
[Psychic Power]: 222;
(Average value for Extraordinary Fourth Rank: 400)
…
Thanks to today’s 66 Attribute Points, Pei Jinye’s three attributes finally broke through the significant threshold of 200.
However, there was still nearly twice the gap from the Extraordinary Fourth Rank.
Pei Jinye, though, didn’t have any thoughts of discouragement.
With his current rate of cultivation, in just a short four months, he had been able to grow from an ordinary person to someone capable of killing a being at the peak of Extraordinary Fourth Rank.
If this were spoken of out loud.
Possibly, not many would believe it.
Following this, cultivating step by step, according to the current rate, with an Attribute Light Group every two days, it would only take ten times of Attribute Points to allow him to successfully step into the Extraordinary Fourth Rank.
At that time, with full-power bursting forth, the increase in combat power by three to five times, perhaps even facing the existence of the Extraordinary Fifth Rank, he would have the strength to cut them down.
This couldn’t help but make Pei Jinye long a bit more for the Extraordinary Fourth Rank.
“Currently at the Third Rank, let alone the legendary Gods, even the Ninth Rank’s distance is long enough for me to traverse…”
“How long?
Pei Jinye suddenly tilted his head, pondering.
“About a year?”
…
“Little Pei.”
Brother Bi suddenly called out from a distance. Pei Jinye set aside his thoughts and looked up, “What’s the matter, Brother Bi?”
Brother Bi walked over quickly, looked around, and spoke in a hushed tone, “Were you at the Bronze Association before?”
Pei Jinye was frank, “I was, what’s the matter?”
“Big trouble. Do you know what happened at the Bronze Association a couple of days ago? That Teacher Chang from the association was murdered!” Brother Bi said gravely.
To his surprise, there was no sign of astonishment on Pei Jinye’s face.
“I know.”
“You know?” Brother Bi was taken aback.
Pei Jinye nodded, “I just attended his funeral yesterday.”
“Condolences,” Brother Bi immediately changed his tone.
Pei Jinye shook his head, “Teacher Chang’s death was unexpected for me too. That day, I even visited the guild hall for a while, never expecting such a thing to happen afterward.”
“Life is unpredictable,” Brother Bi also shook his head, “You were lucky to leave early that day. I heard that the enemy who came this time is very formidable, a strong Swordsman who fights with knives… Anyway, let’s not talk about this. Now I know why the Night Patrol Department was seeking to understand the situation from you. Don’t worry, this is our territory, just tell the truth as it is.”
Pei Jinye nodded.
…
Outside the interrogation room.
Pei Jinye saw the three people who had interrogated him earlier, one of whom still had a bandage wrapped around his arm. On seeing Pei Jinye, the three instinctively stepped back as if a mouse had seen a cat.
Pei Jinye didn’t give them a second glance and followed the Night Patrol Members into the next compartment.
The three men outside exchanged glances.
…
…
Inside the office of the seventh squad leader.
Wu Zhuofei put down the document in his hand and looked up.
“Does Pei Jinye have a connection with that person from the Bronze Association?”
“I’ve asked around. Pei Jinye just cultivated at Chang Youlong’s guild hall, and Chang Youlong took good care of him,” Wu Muyu said thoughtfully, “Moreover, it’s more interesting that on the day Chang Youlong died, Pei Jinye just happened to have visited the Bronze Association.”
Wu Zhuofei raised his head, “Are you insinuating that Chang Youlong was killed by Pei Jinye?”
“Maybe,” Wu Muyu did not hide her speculation, “I remember Pei Jinye practiced the sword, so wielding a knife shouldn’t be too different, right?”
Wu Zhuofei shook his head, “The perpetrator has been confirmed to be a Transcendent with an Instrument · Sword, this has been verified by Xing Tian. Pei Jinye has been cleared of suspicion…”
“Not him, eh,” Wu Muyu pondered, “I’d heard that Da Peng City was chaotic, but I didn’t expect it to be this chaotic.”
Wu Zhuofei glanced up.
He didn’t inform Wu Muyu that Chang Youlong was Extraordinary Fourth Rank and that Fang Tianjian had just woken up today, disclosing an even more shocking piece of news.
“Vitality assimilation… This is the signature move of the second-ranked on the Black List, the Sea of Blood God. Could this Teacher Chang really be the Sea of Blood God?”
Wu Zhuofei also fell silent.
After a while.
He stood in front of the window, watching Pei Jinye leave the interrogation room with escorts from the Night Patrol Department.
Wu Zhuofei thought for a while before taking out his phone.
“If Chang Youlong is the Sea of Blood God, could this Pei Jinye be a dark pawn trained by the opponent? I request an investigation.”
…
…
Meanwhile.
Pei Jinye’s psychic network received an alert.
He intercepted a piece of information.
[If Chang Youlong is the Sea of Blood God, could this Pei Jinye be a dark pawn trained by the opponent? I request an investigation.]
Pei Jinye looked up at the sky.
“What are you looking at?” Gu Wutong came over curiously and asked.
“Taking off,” Pei Jinye murmured to himself.
Since this Wu Zhuofei liked causing trouble for people, it’s about time to vacate the position of squad leader of the seventh unit.
Gu Wutong was fully prepared tonight, having invited Pei Jinye for a drink.
What he didn’t expect was that Pei Jinye had slipped something into his drink again.
…
…
Late at night.
“Who are you!”
Wu Zhuofei shouted in anger and shock.
But in the blink of an eye, someone pressed his head and slammed it hard into the wall.
“Into the dream.”
That night.
The newly appointed squad leader of the seventh unit, Wu Zhuofei, was murdered beneath his apartment building.
The murderer remained at large!
