Chapter 88: Chapter 76: The Gate World’s Reward

Hunting Demon Beasts to earn Points.

This was common knowledge for all Awakened, something they learned even before their Awakening.

Some Awakened weren’t as lucky as Fang Xiu, who had a Magic Core left by his father to upgrade his Skills.

Nor were they like Chu Qingxue, who had her family and Zhao Yao to help her purchase suitable Demon Cores.

Some people even had a low Level when their Talent first awakened.

They wanted to rely on their second Skill to turn their fortunes around.

Naturally, they hoped that their second Skill would come from a relatively powerful Demon Beast.

That way, they could still increase their strength even if their Awakened Talent was lacking.

But since they couldn’t kill powerful Demon Beasts to get their Demon Cores, their only option was to exchange Points for them in the shop.

Some could only hunt Tier One Demon Beasts, earning a few Points at a time and slowly saving up.

Who knew how many years it would take to accumulate enough for a decent Demon Core and obtain a new Skill.

Of course, many Awakened couldn’t wait and figured it was fine if their second Skill was just an ordinary one.

They thought as long as they earned enough Points, they could just get a powerful one for their third or fourth Skill.

But in reality, if their Talent wasn’t good enough... sometimes they couldn’t even reach Level 30.

They would be stuck with two or three useless Skills for their entire lives.

Their lives were basically set.

But Fang Xiu, in just over ten days, had already earned more than two thousand Points, nearly three thousand.

If anyone else found out, they would definitely be jealous.

Fang Xiu, however, clicked on the Silver Level Cultivation Techniques with a hint of disdain.

Although he really wanted a higher-level one,

he simply didn’t have enough Points.

Gold Level Cultivation Techniques started at ten thousand Points.

Fang Xiu was still far from that.

’At the Silver Level, with my two thousand Points, I can only afford a Silver Two Cultivation Technique!’

Fang Xiu looked at the techniques on the website. The Silver tier was divided into nine ranks, from Silver One to Silver Nine.

Silver One cost 1,000 Points, and Silver Two cost 2,000 Points.

Silver Nine cost a whopping 9,000 Points.

With his current Points, Fang Xiu couldn’t afford it.

’These Cultivation Techniques all look about the same!’

Fang Xiu clicked on the Silver Two Cultivation Techniques.

Things like the "Demon Spirit Technique" and "Lightness Technique" didn’t seem very impressive.

’Such a low-end Cultivation Technique costs two thousand Points? What a rip-off!’

Frustrated, Fang Xiu scrolled through them casually.

There were quite a few Silver Level 2 Cultivation Techniques.

There were ten per page, and when Fang Xiu scrolled to the bottom, he saw there were 107 pages in total.

This meant there were a full 1,070 Silver Level 2 Cultivation Techniques.

The sheer number was beyond his imagination.

’Are Silver Level Cultivation Techniques easier to create? Maybe I should give it a try?’

Fang Xiu was curious.

There were so many Silver Level Cultivation Techniques.

All of them had been created by Awakened.

Of course, if the powerful individuals who created these techniques knew what Fang Xiu was thinking, they would probably cough up blood in fury.

After all, they had only been able to create these techniques after reaching a certain level of strength.

Even creating a Silver Level one was incredibly difficult.

Just look at Yue Tianrui. He was over Level 60+ and still hadn’t managed to create a Cultivation Technique suitable for himself.

’Fine, I’ll just buy a bunch of Bronze Level ones. I want to see what other people’s techniques are like.’

Fang Xiu thought for a moment.

He gave up on buying a Silver Level 2 Cultivation Technique.

Instead, he spent all 2,800 of his Points on Bronze One Cultivation Techniques.

They were one hundred Points per scroll.

With 2,800 Points, he bought twenty-eight different Bronze Level Cultivation Techniques.

[Name: Fang Xiu]

[Level: 12]

[Points: 90]

’Done!’

After confirming his delivery address, Fang Xiu closed the website.

He felt that this move was a bit of a gamble.

After all, even a Bronze Level Cultivation Technique was the culmination of decades of someone’s accumulated experience.

Fang Xiu had only been in contact with Cultivation for less than a month.

Yet here he was, already thinking about creating his own Cultivation Technique.

And one that was higher than Silver Level, no less.

Even Fang Xiu himself felt it was unlikely.

’But... how will I know if I don’t try?’

In Fang Xiu’s opinion, getting another two thousand Points would be very easy.

He just needed to make another trip to the Gate World and focus solely on killing Demon Beasts, nothing else.

With his Skills and Kajimi’s, it would be easy to hunt for enough Points.

"Let’s go. Time to head into the Gate World to cultivate!"

Fang Xiu said with a sigh.

Then, he took Kajimi with him and entered the Gate World.

With Kajimi standing guard, Fang Xiu could finally cultivate in peace.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Fang Xiu received the delivery of twenty-eight Bronze One Level Cultivation Technique scrolls.

’They’re actual physical books!’

Fang Xiu stared at the box full of books. In all his years of studying, he had never bought so many books at once.

He originally thought they would be digital versions or something else more convenient to read.

But they were really physical books.

’Oh well, let’s take a look!’

Fang Xiu picked up one of them, a Bronze One Cultivation Technique titled "True Bull Cultivation Technique."

Seeing the name of the technique, Fang Xiu was very satisfied.

When he was buying them yesterday, this was the scroll that had caught his eye.

’True Bull... A name like that has to mean it’s seriously powerful.’

He opened the first page and caught the scent of fresh ink.

Of course, it was printed, and it looked like it had just been printed recently.

The first page was an introduction to the creator.

Author of the "True Bull Cultivation Technique": Zhen Niu.

Fang Xiu: ...

’So the "True Bull" in the title doesn’t mean it’s seriously powerful, but the author’s name is literally Zhen Niu?’

Zhen Niu, a Level 88 Power Awakener, once single-handedly fought three Tier Eight Power System Demon Beasts.

He ended up severely injuring two and killing one.

After this battle, Zhen Niu’s fame skyrocketed, and it was during this fight that he achieved the Enlightenment for his "True Bull Cultivation Technique."

"Holy crap, Zhen Niu really lives up to his name!"

Fang Xiu never expected that the author of the "True Bull Cultivation Technique" was a Level 88 powerhouse.

But the Cultivation Technique he created was only at the Bronze One Level.

For a moment, Fang Xiu didn’t even know how to react.

’Let’s just read it first!’

Fang Xiu continued reading.

Soon, he was completely engrossed.

Although it was just a Bronze One Level Cultivation Technique,

it was much more advanced than the ones taught at school.

After finishing it, Fang Xiu let out a long breath.

’So this is what a real Cultivation Technique is like!’

Fang Xiu now understood.

What he had learned in school probably didn’t even reach one-tenth of the level of a Bronze One technique.

’I should have just bought the Silver Two Cultivation Technique. That would have been more than enough for me!’

Regret.

The man in question was feeling immense regret.

He could only endure the pain and pick up the next book: the "Oliver Cultivation Technique."

That’s right, the author’s name was Oliver!

...

Fang Xiu read through them, one book after another.

Although they were complex and each Cultivation Technique had its own unique characteristics,

they all followed the same fundamental principles.

Fang Xiu discovered they all had one thing in common.

’The people who created these Bronze Cultivation Techniques are all at least Level 70!’

Fang Xiu had originally thought that to create a Bronze Level Cultivation Technique,

the author’s strength wouldn’t be that high.

He never would have guessed they were as high as Level 70.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu felt that his goal of creating a Silver Level Cultivation Technique was a distant dream.

"Kajimi, be my guardian!"

Fang Xiu said directly to Kajimi beside him.

"Guardian?"

Kajimi paused, confused.

Fang Xiu explained, "It means watch my surroundings and don’t let anyone disturb me."

Having just read the Cultivation Techniques, Fang Xiu felt like he was in a fantasy world and the term just slipped out.

"Okay!"

Kajimi nodded slightly.

Kajimi murmured softly, "’Guardian? How fun!’"

Fang Xiu found a spot, sat down, and began his Cultivation.

Fortunately, Fang Xiu’s Talent was quite good.

It only took him three hours to completely master the first Cultivation Technique.

One had to understand, although this was just a Bronze One technique, an ordinary person might not even be able to learn it in three days.

As for mastering it completely, that would take at least half a month, and someone with poor Talent might not even manage it in two or three months.

But Fang Xiu, in just three hours, had already learned and completely mastered it.

This was Talent.

’Next one, let’s keep going!’

Fang Xiu started on the second book, and this one took even less time.

Then the third, the fourth...

Gradually, Fang Xiu reached a point where he could master a Cultivation Technique in just half an hour.

In Fang Xiu’s eyes, the Bronze One Cultivation Techniques were incredibly simple.

Slowly, all the Cultivation Techniques became imprinted in his mind.

From morning to night, and then into the early hours of the next day,

Fang Xiu spent the entire time in Cultivation.

Under Fang Xiu’s Cultivation, he extracted the essence and discarded the dregs of the twenty-eight Bronze One Cultivation Techniques, gradually merging them into a single volume.

Twenty-eight into one.

At this moment, the prototype of a new Cultivation Technique had already taken shape in Fang Xiu’s mind.

According to Fang Xiu’s calculations, this new Cultivation Technique was roughly equivalent to the Silver One Level.

But...

’This isn’t enough. If it was only going to be Silver One, I wouldn’t have bothered spending Points to buy all of you!’

Fang Xiu had spent a full two thousand eight hundred Points to acquire these twenty-eight Cultivation Techniques.

A single Silver One Level Cultivation Technique was worth one thousand Points at most.

Fang Xiu did not stop cultivating.

He continued to study the technique he had just comprehended through Enlightenment.

Gradually, the Cultivation Technique began to mature.

’If I keep going like this, it should...’

At this moment, Fang Xiu felt his mind become completely clear.

As the Cultivation Technique he synthesized became more mature,

it gradually began to shed the vestiges of the original twenty-eight techniques.

It was becoming Fang Xiu’s own true Cultivation Technique.

"Hoo! It’s done!"

Fang Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

He had spent two days and successfully created a brand-new Cultivation Technique. And its level had reached... Golden One.

[You have created an original Gold Cultivation Technique. You have received a Gate World reward...]

"What the hell?"

Just as Fang Xiu was getting excited,

a voice echoed throughout the Gate World.

This left Fang Xiu completely stunned!

’What is going on?’
